Chapter 18 - Brief Rest.

In the room, a group of people tried to put themselves in order and relax.

It would seem that nothing has passed since the beginning of the apocalypse. The physical activity tested was even less than in any of the physical education lessons, but the fight, especially not for life, but to death, was very exhausting both mentally and physically.

A huge amount of adrenaline was produced in the body in extreme situations and brought the bodies and minds of people to a peak combat state. The events taking place were more than extreme.

Therefore, as soon as the guys get to a safe place and relax, the amount of adrenaline in the body began to decrease. As a result, great mental and physical fatigue.

Everyone was doing something.

Takagi tidied up her appearance. Well, or tried to do it.

Shizuka rummaged through her purse, which contained about five times as many items as it could fit. Magic outside of Hogwarts, not otherwise.

Takashi and Hirano rested in silence after erecting a small barricade at the door.

Miyamoto Rei was watching TV and trying to catch useful information there.

Shiro was sitting on the table with Saeko on his lap. The sweet couple, as if nothing had happened, conducted their usual session, you hug. This did not leave the eyes of the girls and guys in the room.

And if the male citizens were now purple about it, then the girls experienced many emotions. Embarrassment, irritation, and sheer envy. Yes, envy.

Even in calm times, such love, care, a strong man's shoulder to lean on, were generally highly appreciated by women. In peacetime, girls tore their hair, jealous of Saeko ... and now.

In the turbulent time that has come, when there is danger. The feeling of envy, or rather even greed, has grown enormously.

"Mou, where are these keys?" Shizuka said, gutting her purse with annoyance.

- Can we all fit in your car? -

- Never. Shizuka didn't let him answer, Shiro. - I could hardly fit there alone. -

- It's because you're so big! But yes, we all definitely won't fit. -

- Heee. So you ride with Nurse Shiro here? Does Saeko know about this? Takagi teased, hoping for revenge.

- Of course he does. My house is next to her friend's house and so Shizuka would sometimes give me a lift when she had the opportunity. -

- Oh well. -

Rei, who was playing the TV, said - Guys, come here. -

The students who came up saw on the news ... Nothing good.

The whole world was plunged into chaos and anarchy. The dead walked the streets of cities, and people only helped them in the extermination of mankind. Countries are considering the idea of ​​nuclear strikes against large cities with large populations.

The rats are the first to escape from the sinking ship. Therefore, it is not surprising that an urgent evacuation of all officials and moneybags was started.

As already clear, this added fuel to the fire even more. Citizens were hostile to the request to sit quietly at home.

- This is some kind of madness! - exclaimed Komuro - The whole world is on fire, but in the morning on the net and there was no word about it! -

"I can't believe the world went crazy in such a short time ... But I'm sure that at least somewhere there is a place where we will be safe. It will be over soon. - said Miyamoto, but it was clear that she was trying more to cheer herself up.

- Dream on. - Takagi said sarcastically. - The disease has spread throughout the world, and the virus literally "hunts" for people. -

- But it's hot outside! - exclaimed Shizuka - So that soon they will start to decompose and will not be able to move. -

- And how long will decomposition take? Saeko asked with interest.

"Well ~ y .... It's ~ oh .... About three weeks, so we need to find a safe place and just wait it out." -

- And where did you get the idea that they will start to rot? The dead had never rebelled before. Takagi pointed out, as if setting herself a mission to reduce the mood of everyone in the room as much as possible.

"If I were you, I would be least worried about the dead. - said shiro with a calm expression on his face.

- what ? Takashi turned to him.

- What are you talking about? - Saya adjusted her glasses.

Everyone focused on the calm and usually rather silent guy.

"I don't know how long the dead will rot there and whether there will be, but I'm sure that almost all food supplies will deteriorate within a week or two. -

- You mean ... - Saya looked at him in shock.

- Yes, there will be hunger. A huge number of people became "zombies", and the survivors were mired in panic and anarchy. There will be no supplies. I am also worried about how the virus is carried. Perhaps even the tap water is already contaminated. -

After that, everyone in the room frowned at the upcoming "rainbow" future.

- Well ... It's spring now and there is still an opportunity to plant and harvest. True, you still need to live until it is collected. - biting your finger,

"Shiro-san, people get infected through a zombie bite, right?" Hirano said, as if asking himself.

- Of course ... But who was patient zero? How did he get infected? In addition, the virus spread too quickly among people, which means ... -

- There are other ways of infection. - finished Saya - Most likely by airborne droplets. -

- Wait! - exclaimed Rei - But we didn't get infected! -

- Perhaps there are other subtleties ... - shiro shook his head - But the fact remains. A simultaneous worldwide outbreak is impossible through simple zombie bites. -

Silence fell over the room. Everyone was thinking about something.

- Okay, thoughts aside. I have to get out of school. After a few hours, the sunset and darkness will only give the zombies an advantage. - reasoned Shiro - I propose to take the school bus and leave, and then we will decide where to go. -

- A good idea. Sister Shizuka can you lead him? Miyamoto smiled as she looked at the nurse.

- Well ... I do not know ... I have not tried to drive a bus before. -

- Everything happens for the first time. If you can't, I'll lead ... I think it's easy to figure it out, and the police are unlikely to arrest me for lack of license. Shiro spoke with irony in his voice. - And yes, before we go, I'll tell you. Zombies are blind and react to sound ... Well, they probably feel warmth. Also, I do not understand why you are doing all these freaks. Saeko concerns you too. Perhaps this is beautiful, but you spend much more energy. Use your brains and defeat zombies. -

- And what will you advise us? Takagi asked doubtfully.

- Don't let the zombies catch you off guard or get caught. They are very strong as the brain no longer limits their strength. -

- Aha! Like psychos and some drug addicts. - Saya interrupted him to show off her intellect.

"Yes, Takagi. But despite their strength, they are blind, slow and very clumsy. For an easy victory, you just need to knock him down. It doesn't matter if it is a kick or a push. Further, while he lies, it will be much easier for you. Well, or in general, in a collision, just quietly leave. It will purposefully follow your last sound you made. Their weak point, the head and other organs, do not seem to function. In addition, zombies do not feel pain, so this will not scare them away. - Shirou calmly enlightened them. The information is clearly useful.

- I knew all this before! - Saya exclaimed - I just didn't have time to say! - She finished arrogantly, trying to hide her awkwardness behind this.

On that and decided. Escape time.
