Apocalypse: Apparently, I Can See Zombies

Chapter 44- Too Ridiculous

"BASTARDS!! WHAT ARE YOU STOPPING FOR!!"

The students of Class 1A heard Jin-woo's booming voice and the ones at the front of the group running towards the gymnasium turned to look behind them to see if people were actually stopping. However, they saw that everyone was instead madly sprinting forward with all their might.

It was only after looking back to the front did these students realize Jin-woo was referring to some of the zombies in the horde that was chasing him. One had stopped to stare at them, with five more soon stopping.

Upon seeing this, the students all cried out in horror, and those who weren't sprinting with all their might before were giving a hundred and twenty percent of their efforts now.

"Shit, they're coming!"

Yoon-min who was somewhat at the back of the group along with Micah, Ye-jun, and Mai-sun, yelled.

Everyone also saw when the first zombie that stopped started running toward them before four out of the five behind it followed suit.

"Hurry! Hurry!"

Eun-ju, the athletic female student who had won the girl's mini volleyball tournament, was one of the few students along with some male students who had already reached the gymnasium entrance and were urging the others to enter.

"Shit, we aren't going to make it!"

One male student at the back cried out in panic when he saw that the five zombies were closer to the gymnasium entrance than they were by a few meters. Yoon-min, Micah Ye-jun, Mai-sun, and six other female students were among this group.

"Quick close the door!"

A male student next to Eun-ju yelled before he went to grab one of the double metal doors of the gymnasium. However, Eun-ju immediately stopped him.

"What are you doing? The others haven't entered yet!"

"Damn it, do you want to get bitten? Close the fucking door!"

The male student yelled and went to push away Eun-ju to close both the double doors, however, he was instead shoved away. Eun-ju then stood still at the entrance staring coldly at the five zombies that were increasingly approaching.

Her actions were simple, there were only five zombies and there were over twenty of them, if they worked together, they would be able to fend them off and get everyone to safety; why should anyone get left behind?

However, a frantic cry suddenly came from the group of students rushing towards the gymnasium.

"MICAH!"

Eun-ju turned around to see what happened, however, a looming figure suddenly sped past her and rushed toward the approaching zombies. She quickly looked forward after the figure passed and saw that it was that tall foreign student named Micah.

Micah had been matching Yoon-min's speed all this while, but upon realizing that they wouldn't be able to enter the gymnasium without confronting the zombies he suddenly sped forward to intercept them.

Upon meeting the first zombie head-on, it was as if a small minivan had collided with an eighteen-wheeler truck. The zombie was sent flying backward toward the others behind it. Two were knocked down, while the remaining two stumbled over the three zombies and charged at Micah.

Micah tactfully shifted to the side and the zombies followed his movements, one behind the other. Now he was facing one at a time rather than two at once.

"Micah!"

Yoon-min yelled once again, he and the others had now reached the steps leading to the gymnasium entrance.

"What are you waiting for?! Go!"

Micah yelled back angrily before he kicked away the first zombie that lunged at him. He was doing everything in his power to avoid their mouths, if only he had a weapon or something.

Yoon-min watched as Micah fought off the two zombies and his eyes turned red. He stepped forward wanting to help, but as if Micah could predict what he was thinking he growled.

"Don't even think of coming over here! I'll be fine as long as I don't get bitten! Just go, I'll find safety somewhere else!"

Yoon-min paused in his steps but clenched his fists.

After dealing with the second zombie Micah glanced over at Yoon-min and seeing that he was just standing there, he barked at him.

"Didn't you hear what I said?!"

Micah was especially anxious as the three zombies from before had recovered and were now setting their sights on Yoon-min and the others.

"Yoon-min!"

At that moment, Mai-sun grabbed Yoon-min's hand as she and Ye-jun were running past to go up the steps at the entrance. Yoon-min didn't resist her pull, but he met Micah's gaze from a distance, and tears well up in his eyes. However, he didn't say anymore, instead, he turned around and rushed up the stairs. Meanwhile, Micah returned his focus to the two zombies.

The three zombies, having already recovered, rushed towards the pile of food hurrying to enter the gymnasium. Eun-ju reacted quickly and kicked one of them before it could come up the steps.

However, as Eun-ju dealt with one of the zombies, the remaining two snarled as they moved toward Yoon-min and the others.

But suddenly…

"Ah!"

Mai-sun in her panic to get up the steps tripped; Yoon-min was pulled back due to holding her hand, but at the same time her hand slipped out of his.

"Fuck! Are you serious?!"

Yoon-min yelled in disbelief, and he wondered if he was in a zombie movie because this was too ridiculous.

One of the two zombies didn't hesitate to lunge at Mai-sun who had tripped.

"Mai-sun!"

Ye-jun yelled as he hurriedly tracked back to help, but Yoon-min, being closer, was the first one to make a move.

"Ahh!"

Releasing a cry, Yoon-min suddenly threw himself at the female zombie that was moments away from straddling Mai-sun and biting her. Both he and the zombie tumbled down the steps as a result.

The fifth zombie was thankfully not here to take advantage of this moment. One student had thought to slip away from the crowd, thinking that the zombies would go after a crowd than him alone. However, the moment he retreated from the group that was hurrying up the stairs, the fifth zombie turned and rushed towards him.

Out of fear, the male student turned around and ran off. But perhaps because of panic, he didn't head back towards the tennis court but instead turned left, heading to the water pipes next to the gymnasium.

Ye-jun reached Mai-sun and helped her up. Both of them along with Eun-jun then retreated to the double doors. The other students of Class 1A instead of helping were just watching the scene outside from as far away as they could.

Yoon-min groaned as he got up. The female zombie he tackled was the first zombie that had fallen through the west wing's window, her leg seemed broken which hindered her somewhat from getting up immediately.

This gave Yoon-min a chance to rush up the steps, however, as he took a step forward an intense pain suddenly shot through his right leg from his ankle which made him let out a loud cry of agony and stumble on the first few steps.

"Yoon-min, look out!"

Eun-ju suddenly yelled from the entrance, her face going pale.

Her cry alerted Micah who had just fended off the two zombies once again. He looked over at the gymnasium entrance, only to see that a zombie was on top of Yoon-min's back, its teeth ripping into him.
