Apocalypse: Apparently, I Can See Zombies

Seo-joon's eyes widened and he swiftly turned to see Jin-woo speeding towards the group up ahead like a raging bull.

"Shit."

Seo-joon cursed internally and chased after him.

Swoosh!

Jin-woo shot past Mr. Kim and the others in no time. Even though he heard his name being called from behind he didn't turn around. The only thing he could think about was strangling Ye-jun because when he found his stuff behind the school, everything was still intact, but Seong's journal was torn to pieces!

The crowd up ahead suddenly started running, but Jin-woo caught up to them in only a few strides.

However, just as he spotted Ye-jun in front of the crowd, he saw a figure falling from the sky.

Kai at the front sensed something and looked up. Immediately his expression changed and he yelled.

"Look out!"

Kai lifted his gun and fired several rounds at the falling figure, while at the same time grabbing Ye-jun and tugging him along as he retreated.

The soldiers and the students didn't manage to react in time as the figure received Kai's bullets, his hand blocking his face, before landing where he and Ye-jun were just standing.

Mai-sun, who was next to Ye-jun, was barely able to shift her body in time before the figure could crush her.

With a muffled bang, the figure landed on the ground in a crutch position, their feet cracking the ground as they did, showing just how high they had been falling from.

Then, with a forceful push off the ground, the figure launched themself forward, weaving through the other soldiers to get to Ye-jun who was a few meters away.

Those soldiers were momentarily dumbfounded by what was happening and weren't able to stop the figure.

But Kai was quick to react and pointed his gun at the figure about to shoot, however, the figure suddenly came to an abrupt stop and then changed directions, jumping behind one of the soldiers to use him as a shield.

Kai's pupils constricted from shock upon seeing this. Due to his delay, he wasn't able to react as the figure circled the soldier and lounged at Ye-jun.

Terrified, Ye-jun stumbled back and fell to the ground. The figure jumped on top of him and opened their mouth.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Ahhh!"

Ye-jun raised his forearm to block the figure's bite and let out a scream as the figure's teeth sunk into his hand.

However, the figure's expression changed when he didn't feel Ye-jun's skin between his teeth. Quickly releasing Ye-jun's forearm, the figure was about to go for Ye-jun's neck, but Kai finally recovered and kicked him away.

Ye-jun crawled back and then hurriedly pulled up his jacket sleeve. An armbrace made of bandages and strips of metal was revealed, but upon seeing the visible teeth marks on the strips of metal, Ye-jun hurriedly checked for any wound on his hand. He only released a sigh of relief when he found none.

Meanwhile, Kai aimed his gun at the figure, who strangely stopped moving after the gun was pointed at him.

"NO STOP!! HE'S NOT A ZOMBIE!!"

A loud cry suddenly echoed out causing Kai, who was about to fire his gun at the figure's head, to snap back to his senses and release the trigger. He then carefully examined the figure who had stopped his attack.

Though the boy had gray eyes, his behavior was different from the other zombies. Even now he had a calm expression, and the way he looked at him with those gray eyes gave Kai the strange feeling that he was staring at him.

"Who-"

Bang!

Kai was about to ask who this person was, but a gunshot cut him off.

Kai stood there stunned for a moment while looking at the dead body of the boy, dressed in high school P.E. gear.

"What did you do!"

Another shout echoed out and Kai turned to see another boy dressed in a blue tracksuit rushing over.

Jin-woo, with tears in his eyes, dropped to his knees next to Micah and frantically called out to him.

"Micah! Micah!"

However, no matter how loud he called Micah didn't respond.

Seeing this, Jin-woo's face paled and his hands gripping Micah's shirt started to shake uncontrollably.

Kai frowned upon seeing this, then turned to look at the soldier who had fired the shot. He was already opposed to this person coming here on a separate mission with them, but this incident intensified it.

It was obvious that this zombie was different from the others and showed it had human-like reactions by how he used someone as a shield as well as how he stopped when a gun was pointed at him. Perhaps he was a third type of infected victim who somehow maintained his senses. Who knows what kind of information they could have gathered from his body if he had been brought back to the lab?

The man who shot Micah seemed indifferent as he walked back to stand next to Mai-sun like a loyal guard.

Kai could only look away with a sigh and approach Jin-woo who was crying over Micah's body.

"Hey kid, I need to ask you some questions about what just happened."

Kai reached down to tap Jin-woo's shoulder to get his attention, however, Jin-woo's hand suddenly shot out and grabbed the revolver gun tucked in the back of Kai's belt.

"Fuck!"

Kai tried to stop Jin-woo but he reacted too quickly and retreated after grabbing his gun.

"Kid, what are you doing?!"

Kai yelled as he stepped forward to subdue Jin-woo, but the mouth of his own revolver was suddenly pointed at his forehead. Then, he saw Jin-woo's finger on the trigger squeezing, causing his pupils to dilate before he hurriedly shifted his head to the side.

Bang!

Kai heard the familiar sound of his baby going off before he felt the bullet slipping past his right ear.

"Ugh…"

A low grunt was heard from the soldier next to Mai-sun as the bullet pierced through his goggles and into his eye, killing him.

Everyone, including Kai, watched in mute silence as the body of the soldier collapsed onto the ground like a puppet that had its strings cut.

After Jin-woo killed the soldier who shot Micah, he didn't hesitate to turn the gun on Ye-jun who was still on the ground.

Bang!

The gun fired but the shot missed and instead hit the ground next to Ye-jun, making Seong nearby curse at Kai for interfering.

After knocking the gun out of Jin-woo's hand, Kai tripped his legs and slammed him hard onto the ground causing the wind to be knocked out of him. Jin-wo was thus unable to react, allowing Kai to pin him onto the ground with his entire weight on his back.

"I understand killing that fool, but you're not about to kill the only cure to this damn virus."

Kai said as he looked at this boy beneath him with furrowed brows.

However, he soon couldn't help but glance at the soldier that was headshoted, and then back at Jin-woo while wondering if that was just a lucky shot. His baby had a strong recoil because of his modifications, so it was hard to aim for people who didn't know what they were doing.

"Is that what he told you? Why don't you ask me who I am."

Jin-woo managed to angrily force out while glaring at Ye-jun as if he wanted to finish what Micah started by biting into his flesh and drinking his blood.

"What do you mean?"

With a confused expression, Kai glanced at Ye-jun, feeling that something was wrong.

"Sir, don't hurt Boss Jin!"

"Yeah, he's the one who saved us!"

"Sir, don't hurt him!"

The students finally recovered from the shock of everything that happened and started to anxiously call out.

When Kai heard them, his expression changed.

"You're not Jin-woo?"

Kai said, his expression becoming cold as he stared at Ye-jun.

He knew that the kid he was supposed to rescue was the son of the man who helped his brother in the Marines. Although he had suspicions about the voice he heard over the phone since he had heard Jin-woo's voice when he was initially investigating his brother's savor, it all vanished when he saw Ye-jun because he remembered seeing a picture of the man's son in glasses.

However, now that Kai looked closer, Ye-jun's hair was of a different color, and his cheeks were more defined rather than being a bit chubby than in the pictures.

"No, I'm Jin-woo."

Jin-woo said, and Kai frowned as he looked down at the glasses-wearing boy with slightly chubby cheeks he was holding, his heart growing cold.

He almost made a colossal mistake by rescuing the wrong person.

Kai stopped pinning down Jin-woo and hurriedly pulled him up.

"Talk. What the hell is going on?"

Kai was more than angry; they were wasting time.

Jin-woo brushed off the dirt from his face and fixed his glasses when he got up. He was then about to speak, but he suddenly stiffened and spun around to look in the direction of the gym and auditorium.

A feeling of danger had suddenly assaulted his senses, and the direction it was coming from was those two buildings.

Jin-woo's expression hardened, and he listened closely in the direction of the gym and auditorium. However, no matter how hard he tried he couldn't hear the speakers.

'No…'

Jin-woo's expression changed upon realizing the solar energy had run out, however, as he went to hurriedly escape, he felt two more sources of danger pop up out of nowhere. He couldn't help but glance in their direction; the front entrance next to the gym and the back entrance just passed the west wing.

There only escape routes.

Jin-woo's face instantly paled and a feeling of dread overtook him as he felt death coming from almost every direction.

"Kid, are you going to talk or not?"

Kai said after watching Jin-woo just staring at nothing.

"…leave."

"What?"

Kai finally heard Jin-woo say something, but he could barely hear him.

"Damn it, Kid speak up!"

"Leave! I said we need to hurry and leave!"

Jin-woo yelled and then dived toward the long-mouthed revolver on the ground. After grabbing it, he ignored Ye-jun and rushed back to the east wing.

However, not even two steps into his run, the danger in Jin-woo's heart flared up, causing him to immediately change directions and head for the entrance of the west wing.

"Damn it, kid, where are you going?! Drop my ba-I mean gun!"

Kai yelled and rushed after Jin-woo who grabbed his revolver.

The crowd of students was caught off guard as Jin-woo pushed through them.

While pushing through the crowd, Jin-woo saw Jeon-sok and Ah-yong. He immediately grabbed them and pulled them along.

"Jin, what's going on?"

"Jin, those bastards tried to leave without you!'

Ah-yong and Jeon-sok both said, but Jin-woo didn't have time to explain.

After leaving the crowd, he suddenly spotted Seo-joon.

"The roof!"

That was the only thing Seo-joon heard before Jin-woo ran past him. He was confused at first, but his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he immediately chased after him along with an angry and confused Kai.

At the same time, everyone was left equally confused by the situation.

Some wanted to follow Jin-woo out of instinct, but they stopped and looked at the soldiers wondering what they should do.

One of the soldiers, after hesitating, turned to his teammate and said.

"You guys escort these kids to the back entrance; I'll go find my brother."

"Rodger!"

The soldier said before he started leading the students away.

Mr. Kim looked at the west wing and hesitated, but eventually followed the other teachers to leave with the soldier.

However, not even a few seconds later, screams echoed out from the students as they saw the doors to the gym breaking off their hinges with zombies pouring out in droves.

"Move!"

"Move!"

The soldier immediately roared at the students to run, when the zombies started charging in this direction.

Suddenly, the door to the auditorium also burst open releasing the zombies inside.

Seeing this the students all increased their speed as much as they could.

However, among the crowd, Ye-jun suddenly stopped and grabbed Mai-sun next to him.

"Let's go!"

He yelled and then started dragging her back to the west wing.

Mai-sun was at first terrified by Ye-jun's seemingly crazy actions, but Ye-jun forcefully pulled her and said.

"He predicted the zombies attacking; we have to follow him!"

Upon hearing this, Mai-sun recalled Jin-wo's earlier actions. She also recalled when they were walking along the halls and even earlier when they were at the tennis court.

Mai-sun calmed down and followed Ye-jun, rushing back to the west wing.

Han Soo, who was at the entrance, couldn't help but curse upon seeing two kids returning, however, he didn't hesitate to urge them inside.

"To the roof!"

Han Soo yelled when Ye-jun and Mai-sun entered. He then turned to follow behind them, but the sound of zombies screeching outside made him turn back to look.

A majority of the zombies suddenly diverted from the horde to chase after the group outside.

Han Soo's face changed when he saw that, but he didn't have time to worry about those people. After firing a couple of shots killing the closest zombies near the entrance, he turned around and headed to the roof to find his brother and that kid.
