I rested on the sofa with my mind wandering around. With the heck of the world is now, I am not entirely sure what is going to happen from here on out. I left the meeting room despite Uncle Matsubara and Kato stopping me to go. I have no intention to keep talking to their nonsense. Uncle Matsubara asked me to become the leader of the soldiers but I did not accept. I don't want to keep being busy again and again because I had never liked to become a leader.

I stare at the photo of me and my family. The world had gone insane and even uncle think I will become the savior of the people in which I never dreamed of. I just wanted to survive and not to rule. I pocketed the photo and looked at my watch. Its almost 6 in the evening but the rain is still pouring down heavily. With rain in the sky, a horde won't occur tonight which would help us relax for a night. I yawned and peel out a lollipop from my pocket before putting the candy into my mouth. I maximized the volume of my headphones and closed my eyes. I had never been relaxed like this since the very first day of the outbreak.

"ATTENTION! ATTENTION! SOLDIERS WHO ARE ON BREAK ARE PRIORITIZED TO GO TO THE BARRICADE PLATFORMS AND DEFEND THE BARRICADE! INFECTED ARE CURRENTLY ON THE MOVE AND SWARMING THE VICINITY OF THE TOWER! REPORT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! REPEAT! AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!"

I suddenly opened my eyes hearing this. Despite the max volume of my headphones, I can hear it perfectly fine in my ears. Due to that, I did not bother to rest and stood up. The announcement was heard all around the building. I was confused though. Isn't the undead never attacks whenever its raining? It was still raining hard and the raindrops hurt like rocks due to the downpour.

I pick up all my weapons in the table and equipped them back. Just as I was finished putting all of them, Souichi, Okabe, Shu, Steven and Izayoi arrived holding their guns.

"Kyosei! Have you heard about the attack?!" Souichi gripped his rifle hard.

"I am not deaf. I heard it loud and clear. So what is the deal with the undead right now? This is the first time I heard about an attack during the rain," I looked at everyone demanding an explanation.

"We had no idea either. The announcement is vague so I have no idea what transpired there. We are about to help the soldiers defend, Kyosei. Are you going with us?" Shu asked.

"I had to see this myself."

The others nodded and we moved with large strides to the barricade.

We are far from the ground floor and the elevator is not working so we are forced to use the stairs which exhausted us a bit when we got down. However, I was surprise to see the soldiers are being handed out with supplies. Uncle Matsubara is helping by handing out supplies to everyone and handing them with raincoats and a few mags while a few of the soldiers who are in need of bullet refills returned one by one and were being handed out with a few magazines of bullets from different guns by Kato. I did not talk to Kato earlier but I can see that he was happy to see me alive and well but I have no business talking to him. I came here to defeat the Behemoth, not for a reunion.

We approached Uncle Matsubara and he was surprised to see me and my companions.

"Are you going to help?" Matsubara asked.

"Yeah, how is the situation out there?" I asked.

"Its literally dangerous and we are just making the matters worse. From what the engineers and builders told me, the durability left on the walls are less than 20% and if it falls more than that, any seconds from now will be our doom."

"Just what the f*ck are we even dealing with? This is the first time I heard about an attack during the rain since it is especially quiet every time it rains. What caused this phenomenon?" I scratched my temple as I try to rack my brains. There should not be a case of things like this happening at all so how come?

"Yes, it never happened before, but our enemies this time are not the normal infected undead but those undead that are covered with the orange slimes, similar to the Behemoth," Matsubara revealed.

I was surprised by what he just said. The blob monsters? Then I remembered their very weakness. Aren't they weak in fire? As long as they are exposed to fire, they will die? But then the rain has come, instead of a blessing, it turned out to be a curse. Since it is raining, we can't use any molotov cocktails or flamethrowers from our arsenal to use against them and grenades are a limited supply that we really need to fight against the Behemoth. With this occurring, then we really have no time to dawdle at all? Even a single rest? Does death is the only salvation in this time? F*ck, I don't want that possibility.
