6 Reanimate (1/2)

Jun crouched down besides the old grandma. His eyes staring on the question mark icon hovering above the grandma's body. He placed his hand on top of the body and as expected! The icon expanded and an information screen appeared.

[Normita Mellendres - Dead Carrier]

-the host body died from severe pain.

- the Carrier was killed by a gun shot.

-Not enough energy to reanimate.

-Recharging from energy source... 20%...

The screen automatically closed after a few seconds. Just long enough for Jun to read everything that was written on it. Jun was giving his all trying to digest all those information.

Jun is not an idiot, he's just confused on what those words could mean. He can accept and think what a carrier and reanimation might possibly mean. Just from the impossible things happening outside, people biting and killing each other, a legless crawling teenage girl, a woman trying to go out of the car's window instead of opening the door, adding the disproportioned bodies of the jeepney's passengers, there's only one thing that sprouts up on his mind. Zombies!

A smile blossomed on his face unknowingly. He might not have explicitly said it, but Jun is extremely bored of his life. He lost his direction and life's purpose a long time ago.

He felt his heart beating faster at the thought of a wild adventure. A new world with a new set of rules!

Just then, a game like count-down appeared atop his hand that was still holding the old grandma's body.

Looting... Please hold. 10...9...

”What are you doing?”, a soft female voice came from his side. Jun looked up and saw a woman sitting beside him.

He removed his hand and stared at the woman's name tag before he gave an answer. ”Nothing special. By the way Alex, does that hurt?”, Jun said while pointing on her left arm.

”Not really. It just stings a bit.”, she answered not even glancing at Jun. The whole time that she was speaking, she was looking down.

”Let me take a look.”, Jun grabbed her hand before she could have even said anything and a screen instantly appeared.

[Left Arm - Bitten]

[Description] The user was bitten by a carrier and will reanimate as an infected after death.

”Let go of me!”, Alex pulled back her hand then stood up and went back to her co-employees. The manager, who was near, covered Alex from his view.

Jun raised both of his hands beside his head. He then pulled a nearby chair and sat down.
