Apocalypse: Apparently, I Can See Zombies

Chapter 46- Goodbye Mate

Ha!

Ha!

Micah reached the roof of the gymnasium and was breathing heavily. He landed from the ledge with a thud before he hurried over to the other side of the roof and leaned Yoon-min against the wall.

Clang!

Bang!

The messy footsteps of the zombies echoed out behind him before the first one frantically rushed over the ledge and landed hard on the roof. The others followed suit and similarly landed haphazardly on the ground.

There were many metal bars scattered on the roof, likely from the discarded sections of the stair tower that the construction workers renovating the gymnasium this winter forgot, or ignored cleaning up.

Micah picked up one nearby that was around a meter in length and rushed toward the zombies before they could get up.

Bang!

The sound of metal making contact with a human's skull was very distinct. There was even a faint sound of something cracking that accompanied it.

Angered beyond reason, Micah had not held back any of his strength, and like a world-renowned baseball player, he swung the metal bar and sent the first zombie tipping over the edge of the roof, its skull bursting open in a gruesome fashion.

While the sound of the first zombie falling against the stair tower to the ground echoed out, Micah quickly swung at the second one which was lunging at him from the ground.

Stay tuned with empire

Bang!

Micah swung down with all his strength, but rather than hitting the zombie's head, the metal bar missed and instead hit the zombie's neck, which was followed by a sickening crack echoing out.

The zombie fell to the ground, its limbs unmoving due to its spine being fractured, however, its mouth was still opening and closing as it snarled at Micah.

Due to utilizing his full strength in both swings, Micah was unable to gather his strength in time to deal with the third zombie. Mid-swing, the zombie lunged at Micah, and having already committed to the swing he was unable to retreat in time. The zombie like a starving wolf sunk its teeth into Micah's forearm.

Micah reacted with panic at first, but suddenly a strange calmness settled into his heart. He silently stared at the zombie clutching his arm while burring its teeth further into his skin.

Micah could actually feel his blood being sucked out by the zombie.

Brows coming together into a frown, Micah turned and calmly walked to the edge of the gymnasium roof, the zombie that was still clinging to his arm while biting him stumbled forward with him.

Bang!

After reaching the edge of the roof, Micah smashed the zombie's head with a metal bar, and the force made the zombie release its bite and stumble back. It tilted over the ledge that was just below waist height, and with an added kick from Micah it was sent over fully. The sound of its body hitting the ground came moments later.

Clang~

Micah let the metal bar fall out of his hand before he turned and walked over to Yoon-min leaning against the wall.

Yoon-min's face was already full of black markings, along with some visible on his arms and legs.

Micah crouched down next to him and shook his shoulders gently while calling out.

"Yoon-min… Yoon-min, wake up."

After not getting a response, Micah placed two fingers against Yoon-min's neck to check his pulse.

One second…

Two seconds…

Three seconds…

Micah retrieved his hand after three seconds.

He didn't feel anything.

"Damn it, Yoon-min. Why didn't you just enter the gymnasium like I asked? Why bother trying to be a hero, didn't you say this wasn't some movie?"

Micah asked as he lowered his head, however, moments later he began to sob softly. His hand on Yoon-min's shoulder trembled along with his shoulders.

After a minute of crying Micah seemed to calm down somewhat. He sniffled and then said while wiping his face.

"I wish this were a movie. If it was, you would have definitely been revived somehow because you didn't deserve to die like this. As for that two-faced bastard Ye-jun and that ungrateful cunt, even after I become a zombie I'll torment them throughout the school."

That deep-rooted hatred in Micah's heart rose once again and set his eyes a blaze. However, it dimmed for a moment as he glanced at Yoon-min one final time.

For some reason, Yoon-min wasn't turning like the other students after getting bitten, but this was similar to Ho-jin back at the tennis court.

Micah suspected there were types for this zombie virus, but he didn't have time to ponder about it. There was no doubt about what would happen to him after being bitten, he could feel it. His inner organs felt like they were burning, and his heartbeat was way past the pace of what was considered normal.

What was more telling, he felt this urge, this inkling of thirst, as if he was severely dehydrated.

The feeling was faint, but it was rapidly getting worse.

Micah ruffled Yoon-min's hair and said with a slight smile.

"Goodbye, mate."

He then stood up and went to sit on the edge of the roof next to Yoon-min. Glancing down at his hand, he saw that despite his light skin tone, it was clearly visible that his veins had turned pitch-black.

Micah glanced up and overlooked the school's football field while his timer ticked down.

After two minutes his body began to shake. Micah gritted his teeth, and he bared the pain of his organs being set aflame, especially his lungs, they felt like they were in an inferno.

But all of a sudden, the intense pain suddenly disappeared. However, Micah's body slacked as he went unconscious; being on the edge, he fell from the roof as a result. Though, at the last moment before he turned, his eyes had drifted from the field to the middle school across from it.

Small figures could be seen running around, but the way in which they were running around was reminiscent of the zombies Micah had seen so far.

There were zombies on the middle school campus, which meant the virus had already spread from the high school.

'Jin's gonna have it hard... I hope he at least survives.'

This was the last thought that ran through Micah's mind as he fell from the edge of the roof and landed on the steps leading to the gymnasium's entrance unmoving.
