Chapter 3 – Unlock (2)

Unlock (2)

It is common sense that motorcycles are safer than electric kickboards, and cars are safer than motorcycles.

In particular, the survival rate of a car is incomparably higher than that of an electric kickboard, which may catch a small stone or obstacle and eject you.

And it was nonsense for me to think that way in these circumstances.

A four-lane road divided by a small flower bed in the middle and a lane control bar.

Two black dots cutting through the fleeing crowd as if they were being chased back to the university.

The distance to the car abandoned on the road was closer to him, but I was superior in speed.

Weiyiing-

Arriving at the flower bed dividing the road in an instant, the guy’s eyes were fiercely distorted as he looked at me.

Without avoiding those eyes, I hurriedly threw away the electric kickboard that had reached the small chin of the flower bed.

There was no time to delay.

A very short distance from the sidewalk where you have to run to the road and catch a car.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there is virtually no difference between an electric kickboard and sprinting in less than 10 seconds.

Fortunately, the distance I ran with the driver’s seat with the door wide open was much closer.

That moment-

Bread- bread baaaaang-

It was a strange feeling.

I can clearly hear the sound of the clock as I run towards the abandoned car like in slow motion.

The gaze shifts to the left from the man on the other side reaching for the passenger door.

Baaaaang-!

There was a white car approaching, driving in reverse in a long line.

The tire wheel collided with the small chin of the flower bed, sending out orange sparks.

As if not thinking about the future, the already broken side mirror and the crumpled front bumper.

Literally, a car rushing through the small gap between the flower bed and the road roared violently, as if telling it to get out of the way if it didn’t want to die.

With the intention of exquisitely crossing the street where I had to run to the abandoned vehicle.

There was no time to spit out curse words this time.

Thud-!

A white car crosses in an instant in front of me as I hurriedly stopped without thinking for a second.

My nose felt cold thanks to the car that hit the driver’s door of the abandoned vehicle toughly and passed by.

By the time the wind-blown bangs touched my forehead again, a car passed by and I saw him with an open view.

A man with a soft smile as he opens the passenger side door.

Thanks to an unexpected obstacle, I could see a sense of victory in his eyes as he looked at me as I stood still in the flower bed.

… Surely.

Even if I ran with all my might from now on, I couldn’t beat that man who was already opening the passenger’s door.

But should we raise our voices and shout out to them to ride together?

… Under.

It was an unbelievable bullshit.

In the event of such a dangerous turn of events, few people would take risks that they did not have to take.

Just as there is no captain who yields the steering wheel to someone he does not know in a rough storm.

Just as I never thought of running away with that man,

That man would have no reason to run away with me.

Eh eh eh!

Still, I felt the wave of zombies, which had been a little distant, gradually approaching.

If you failed to capture an abandoned vehicle, even an electric kickboard again—

Whoa!

Just as I was about to hurriedly raise the electric kickboard, the loud crash sounded again.

At the end of my gaze following the sound of the collision, the man who arrived at the passenger seat before me had disappeared.

… No, it was in a slightly higher place.

A car running diagonally across a sidewalk and a road and the passenger door destroyed by the car.

And the man spinning fiercely in the air like a top.

Poo-!

It sounded like a rotten egg crashing on the asphalt.

After a short levitation, the man fell straight to the asphalt and started convulsing.

Like an elk hit by a car.

Chick-gigg-!

I quickly opened the driver’s door, which was slightly dented by a passing car.

He hurriedly sat in the driver’s seat, closed the door, and turned his steering wheel all the way to the left.

Boooung-!

A car that starts turning left with a slight vibration as soon as you step on the accelerator.

It was natural that he ran to the abandoned car as soon as he saw it in the first place, but he was confident in driving.

Usually, the poor family environment and the part-time driver work are a soul duo that cannot be separated.

“Kieh!”

I can hear the voices of the zombies starting to drive in the same way as the car that almost hit me earlier.

The passenger side door, which was so damaged that it could not be closed again, rattled and delivered the roar of the approaching zombies.

Booooo!

I stepped on the accelerator harder and glanced in the rearview mirror.

Zombies surrounded the man who was already convulsing like an elk.

Red blood was soaking the faces of the zombies as they squirmed like a syringe at the gestures they were making.

… Second.

Two people have already died.

It wasn’t something sentimental that didn’t fit in a zombie apocalypse.

Hitting your head into a roadside tree or getting into a car accident with a hit-and-run vehicle.

In the original society, it was an accident that could be sufficiently overcome through treatment at the hospital.

However, the end of the two accidents that happened today is death.

The first accident is almost halfway the same as the one I induced, but without the zombies the chances of dying would be very low.

I don’t mean to say any shit like guilt, pity or regret.

‘… Dangerous.’

Normally, the risk of ending in a small accident could lead to the end of life.

Even now, my mouth is dry from the chase of zombies and humans that are clearly reflected through the windshield.

You never know when you’ll hit people or zombies.

You never know when someone crying out for help might block the road in front of your car.

When a zombie or human corpse might get stuck in a tire.

A car that has lost speed would be just a little big lunchbox for zombies, especially this car with the driver’s seat and passenger’s seat, two doors rattled by a collision.

Booooo!

More on his nerves than ever, he twisted his steering wheel to and fro.

He entered the university again, somehow avoiding the zombies and humans that were already scattered without roads and guides.

You need to find a safe place as quickly as possible.

Library, student center, humanities college…

Familiar places that pass quickly through your head.

‘… The library never does. You said High Queens came to film a reality show today.’

Lunch hour.

The library that I stopped by to see the top idols I had only seen on YouTube in real life came to mind naturally.

The students who came to the library with the same thoughts as me, and the people who came armed with cannon cameras like sniper rifles to film High Queens.

And the student council and broadcasting people who controlled the surroundings with loud voices that did not suit the library even though they were controlling all those people.

It was a vivid past that only a few hours had passed since I left because I was tired of the population density that was more crowded than the Dottegi Market.

‘… The student center isn’t such a good idea either.’

Students who came to eat and students who stopped by the club room.

Perhaps the most densely populated place after the library was the student hall.

‘… Fuck.’

Naturally, the method of elimination leaves only one place familiar to me.

College of Humanities.

To think I had to crawl back to the place I ran away from…

I still can’t forget the girl with the bright eyes that was chewed right next to me.

A struggling hand gesture, and an iPad and a smartphone that fell to the floor at that hand gesture.

Even me who ran away without looking back after seeing it.

However, even if I went to another place, there was no longer a familiar space within the university.

Even if I tried to think of a safe place to escape, since I did not know the structure, there was no escape that naturally came to my mind.

However, there was an escape that immediately came to mind as soon as I thought of the humanities college.

‘… Rooftop.’

Dawn’s Curse, 28 Series, The Walking Dead, and more—

A refuge that always appears like a cliché in zombie movies that I’ve been tired of watching.

‘… The rooftop of the College of Humanities.’

Had to go there

It was the safest refuge I could think of right now.

‘Let’s go up to the roof first, block the door, and think about what’s next.’

After deciding where to move, the direction of action was naturally determined.

Awesome profit!

A long skid mark along a sharp right turn.

It was only natural that all colleges were a zombie paradise anyway.

Then, move to the place most familiar to me so that there is no stuttering in the action.

In addition, since the College of Humanities is the closest to my current situation, it matched my situation where I wanted to hide in a safe place as soon as possible.

“Eh eh eh!”

A liberal arts college full of zombies, no different from before I got out.

Bread-! Baaaaa!

I pressed the clutch all the way while stepping on the accelerator.

Zombies rushing madly at the roaring sound stuck in their ears out of nowhere.

I turned the steering wheel to the lawn in the center of the College of Humanities and continued to ring the clock.

“Eh eh eh!”

Zombies running from the front gate of the College of Humanities and a half-destroyed car starting to circle the lawn.

I somehow continued to lure the zombies and looked sideways at the rooftop.

If you scream like this while screaming, there will definitely be a reaction.

If there are zombies on the roof, they’ll somehow follow this clarkion, and if there are humans, they’ll stick their heads out to see what happened.

Bang bang- baaaaang-

After exactly 3 laps around the lawn,

I finally checked the rooftop while checking the numerous zombies that were blocking my path to the point where I couldn’t draw a circle anymore.

“…”

The rooftop where no one can be seen sticking their heads out to check the situation.

“Whoa, whoa—”

I took a long deep breath and stepped on the accelerator one last time toward the front door.

Woo woo woo woo woo!

A car that starts its run with a louder exhaust note than ever before.

And the zombies were rushing towards the car with arms wide open as if welcoming it.

“Whoa- whoop whoop whoop whoop-“

Even though I tried to keep breathing, it wasn’t easy.

Even when he exhaled and inhaled deeply, he did not calm down at all, and his heart pounded as if tearing his chest apart.

“Whoa- whoop whoo-“

A plan that has been in my head ever since I decided to re-enter the College of Humanities.

I don’t know if I can succeed, but I know that it’s dangerous, so I constantly catch my breath and take care of the overslept spread in the passenger seat.

Booooo!

Finally, stepping on the accelerator harder, I put my hand on the steering wheel and hurriedly put on a sleeping bag without the owner.

“Eh eh eh!”
“Try to nerf this too, you bastards!”

Numerous zombies coming closer and closer to the glass windows.

As if throwing fear at them, I spat out a word and threw myself.

Whoa!

[You have earned points.]
[You have earned points.]
[You have earned points.]
[You have earned points.]

A message that filled the pupils in an instant, and a beeping head with tinnitus.

I don’t know how many laps I’ve rolled on the lawn, but the car stuck in the front door shimmers in my constantly shaky vision.

Paang- Paang- Paang- Paang-

Even though it was so distorted, the car and the car that spits out the alarm sound loudly and the zombies under it.

A grotesque figure trying to stand up somehow with its arms floundering, and more zombies than those who were crushed were still running towards me.

“Eh eh eh!”

[Agility: 2 -〉 6]

There was no time to hesitate.

I violently shook my shaking head desperately and bit my lip.

The threat isn’t over yet.
