Zombie Master

The beginning of the ruin was sudden.

On the first day, the rainy season broke a while ago, and outside the sun was asserting itself high in the southern sky.

During that time, Takumi Hiiragi was vaguely watching TV.The twenty-four-year-old has spared time indoors from daytime because he is engaged in the service industry of retailing.You can only take holidays on weekdays, and the days off are irregular.I can't make any plans, I just sleep until after noon, and after I wake up, I just watch TV, watch the internet, and play games to avoid getting tired of doing extra things.

However, today is a rare occurrence before noon.

About an hour ago, I heard the sound of an emergency vehicle siren many times.That sound really echoes in my ears.It's natural because it's meant to announce an emergency, but Takumi, who wants to devour a sleep until after noon, wants to complain that the emergency vehicle does not have to be busy only on holidays.

"It's not a fire ..."

Takumi looks in the direction in which the sound of the siren is heard from the window on the fifth floor of his apartment, but the black smoke is not rising.I squinted for a while and looked around, but I didn't want to know the cause of the emergency vehicle dispatch, so I immediately lost interest and turned to the TV.

There, announcers and intellectuals of the station talk about the world with their faces.I wonder if you guys are so great, I think I can talk more about the world, but I stop thinking again without thinking any more.

(Oh, it's boring ...)

It's totally boring.Even today's precious holiday, like the usual holiday, time passes without doing anything productive, and I regret it with melancholy feelings that I will work again in the middle of the night or from tomorrow. I think.

It's shit in the world, but I spend my days thinking that I'm more shit because I can only vomit such complaints.Will this continue for decades ...

"I got urgent news in the middle of the program! I just told you about the street demon incident that happened in Shibuya, Tokyo, but there is information that the street demon incident is happening in various parts of Japan!"

The station Anna on the screen is reading aloud the paper given to the man who seems to be AD with an excited expression.When the intellectuals change their complexion and argue about what is happening in their mouths, a reporter of a man who is on the scene appears on the screen.

Takumi looks at the live broadcast screen in a situation that blows away the boredom that he had just mentioned.

"Currently, there is information that multiple police officers are surrounding the suspected criminal! The criminal is a man in his thirties to forties, and according to eyewitness testimony, blood suddenly comes from his mouth. When I thought that I was suffering from vomiting, I heard that he suddenly bit the man who was worried and called out. Well, after that, the criminal escaped from the place and the victim was carried by an ambulance. I don't know, but there are eyewitness testimonies that he was bitten near his neck and had severe bleeding. "

At that time, a number of dry gunshots echoed, and multiple female screams echoed.

"It's a shot! The pistol's firing sound echoed three, no, four times! Is the criminal violently resisting? It seems that a police officer shot it! A woman screams at the sudden firing sound. I heard it! It's very dangerous! What the hell is that ... "

As the reporter was excited and playing live, a shadow appeared from the back of the screen, which seemed to be a police officer wearing a light blue shirt and a hat.The photographer hastily puts the police officer in the center of the screen and zooms in.

When you zoom in enough to see the police officer, you hear a voice saying "Wow !?".Is it the voice of the photographer or the voice of the studio?

The appearance of the police officer was so strange.

Do not point your thumb and index finger at your right hand, which is pointing forward as if you were asking for help.Blood is dripping from where the remaining fingers should be, and what appears to be white bones is also exposed.

The police officer's light blue shirt was dyed bright red from around the neck to the abdomen, and there was a big scar on the neck, though it would have been recognized that he was seriously injured.The wound is so big that it seems that the neck is torn by half.

"Well, a police officer is injured ... I'm seriously injured, ambulance soon ..."

With a quivering voice, the reporter tried to keep up the game from a professional consciousness, and perhaps it was difficult to support him with his torn neck, and the police officer's head bent back at an angle that wouldn't normally be possible.

Who owns the breathtaking voice?

And the police officer started running toward the reporter ...

The screen suddenly switched to the studio.

e?Some people in the studio said, but the moderator, Anna, cleared her throat several times and then repaired her expression.

"Well, I'm very sorry. I apologize for the inappropriate video that was shown during the living room."

And bow deeply.

The studio was pretty noisy.While watching the situation, Takumi also felt that his chest was rustling.What was the last video you saw?That police officer was definitely seriously injured.No, wasn't it a serious injury, or even an instant death?I'm not a doctor, so I can't say for sure, but it would be fatal if I had such a wound on my neck.But at the end, the police officer seems to have started running.

And it happened without the time to ponder what happened to that police officer and what was happening now.

Suddenly a big scream echoed.In response to the tight screams that could not be cleared up in the broadcast accident, the moderator, Anna, unintentionally shouted, "What happened !?", and the live TV camera was pointed at it.

What was reflected there was a young man who was suffering from vomiting blood.The floor is covered with blood, probably because he spit out a considerable amount of blood.While hearing the screams "Are you okay !?" "Ambulance!", The man attacks a man in his thirties who is anxiously calling out to him closest to him.

Then, the screen suddenly switched to a screen with the words "I'm afraid, please wait for a while" and the name of the TV station.

"What is it ..."

Takumi unintentionally screamed at the screen.Then, grab the remote control with your trembling hands and switch channels.

Then, some channels had a screen saying "Please wait", and some were switched to emergency news programs.Only TV TOKYO showed the travel program as if nothing had happened.

Apparently something out of the ordinary is happening.

Takumi shakes off the temptation to continue watching the emergency news program, and when he hurries up and picks up his backpack, he puts the contents on the floor and almost empties the backpack.I usually go out with a minimum of grooming, but when I see that there are three 10,000-yen bills in my wallet, I rush to a nearby convenience store.

(No! No! No! No!)

Takumi's mind comes up with some absurd thoughts, and each time he shakes off those thoughts that nothing can happen in reality.

I don't know what's happening right now, but there's a lot I need now.

Most people who notice this are probably watching TV with a sigh.Takumi also really wants to watch TV to understand the situation.

But now that's why there is something that needs to be done urgently.

(Securing water and food! That is the first priority!)

Since the Great Earthquake, Takumi has stockpiled some food and water in case of emergency.Probably done in many homes.However, it is the minimum amount because it is prepared for something that you do not know when it will happen.Since it is necessary to consume and replace the product before the expiration date, it is about three days' worth at most.

But now that's a problem.

Especially when it comes to water, it will run out.

Perhaps in another thirty minutes or an hour, Takumi expects those watching TV to start securing food and water.No, some people may be starting to secure it immediately with the same idea as themselves.When that happens, it sells out in no time.Before that, we have to secure as much as possible.

The nearest convenience store is right in front of the apartment where Takumi lives.It's very convenient and useful, but I've never been as grateful for it as it is today.

(Okay, no one else is aiming to secure food and water yet)

There are almost no customers at the convenience store because it is daytime on weekdays.After noon, it will be crowded with office workers during lunch break, but fortunately it is not yet noon.Apparently, the clerk and customers at the convenience store do not know what is happening now.

Takumi puts five bottles of water in the basket.Actually, I want to secure all the water in the store, but since this alone weighs 10 kg, I decided to leave the water for the time being and put food in the basket.Select rice balls and bread that have the longest expiration date and put them in.In addition to the expiration date of the bento, I will look over the things that do not need to be warmed and put in some.That alone fills the two baskets.

When I put the basket in the cash register, it looked strange for a moment, but Takumi didn't care and added five more waters.

After that, the backpack is quickly filled with water, and food such as rice balls and bread is packed in two plastic shopping bags.The backpack became quite heavy and staggered when he carried it on his back, but Takumi returned to his room as it was.I think I was really fortunate to be close to the convenience store.

(I still need water. I also have to buy batteries and gas cylinders. Batteries are available at a nearby convenience store ... No, some of them are aware of the situation because they have a TV. There are many people who act, so they will buy batteries and gas cylinders soon, so it is unlikely that it will be a waste to procure batteries at convenience stores. If possible, I would like to buy outdoor products such as tents, but where are they sold? Wonder……)

I'm wondering how I should act from now on, but I'm confused about the time of wondering, but Takumi hurriedly took out all the water and arranged it properly on the floor, and the convenience store again. I decided to go to and secure water, batteries, and gas cylinders.

(If you don't do it early, there will definitely be a flood of people and you won't be able to buy it. Before that, you have to buy as many as you can!)

The more I feel the time to lock the door, the more I get impatient.

"Chaaaaaaa !?"

At that time, I heard a violent braking sound, something dull, and a scream.Takumi is located in the corridor on the 5th floor, from which you can see the outside.

Takumi looked into the direction of the scream, feeling unpleasant, and saw a black sedan riding on the sidewalk, a red blood clot on the road, and a human lying down in the blood clot.I can't tell the face, but it's probably a man because he's wearing a suit.

"That's because it suddenly popped out!"

I hear a man who seems to be a driver screaming in a loud voice.Call an ambulance!The voice also echoes.Usually, it's an unfortunate personal injury ...

Takumi watched the fallen human.I think I should ignore this and go to the convenience store, but I couldn't take my eyes off because of some premonition.

As expected, something happened.

The man got up from the blood pool.There is a buzz from the people who have gathered.Even if you look at it from above, you can see that it is fluffy.The right arm and right foot are bent in a strange direction.Perhaps because of that, it seems difficult to walk, and he starts walking somewhere with awkward movements that shake his body.

It was reckless at all, and a nearby man hurriedly tried to stop him, but perhaps the man in the accident suddenly attacked the kind man who tried to stop him. It is.Immediately after, a violent scream arose.

And that wasn't the only thing.

A wagon car suddenly rushed into the crowd.People who were distracted by the abnormal situation happening in front of them could not notice the approach of the wagon car to the last minute and many people were bounced unprotected.Then, from the driver's seat of the wagon car, which just hit a nearby store and stopped, a woman who was suffering from vomiting blood jumped out like a roll.

"the worst……"

This is just two or three minutes of the event.

The sight that spreads out below you is just a picture of hell.Another person covers the people who are crouched by the wagon.Why are they covering up?

The road is dyed red with blood, and many humans are wandering around, spewing red blood from their entire bodies.

Screams and voices asking for help are mixed, and those who somehow jump out are further involved in the abnormal situation.

"What is this ..."

A situation that goes beyond my understanding is happening.

Takumi forgot to go to the convenience store and just stood there stunned.It's not the only place where confusion is occurring.Before I knew it, I could hear the sound of breaking glass, the sound of breaking something, screaming, taunting, crying, laughing, sirens, all from everywhere.

Unable to bear the sight below, Takumi fluttered back.At that time, a loud noise was heard, but Takumi didn't care about it and fell down as if he had a stick in the corridor.

Posun ……

Takumi was supported by something soft.

When Takumi looked back, there was Yumi Takahashi, who lives next to Takumi.I'm a female college student who moved in last year, but the words I exchanged when I moved were the longest, and after that, I only occasionally greet people when they pass each other in the corridor, and usually I have no contact at all.

The long hair up to the middle of the back is beautiful black, and although it doesn't feel as clean as an idol, it has a fairly well-organized face.Above all, it has big breasts like a gravure idol, and when you wear light clothes in the summer, you have to be careful not to stare at the self-assertive breasts when greeting.

And although the soft thing that Takumi felt earlier was exactly Yumi's chest, Takumi was not given enough room to remember that happy feeling.

If Takumi could afford to look around a little more, he would have noticed that the door of Room 505, where Yumi lived, was half broken.Perhaps it was forcibly opened from the room with a large force, it is bent from the inside to the outside.

"Ah……"

Takumi was doing his best to move his mouth.

Yumi who was there was probably taking a shower, and her whole body was wet in a naked figure.The unusual situation of being naked in the hallway was trivial given the unusual situation of Yumi's mouth, hands, and belly with a large amount of blood.

Above all, despite such an unusual situation, Yumi's expression was neither shameful nor distorted in pain, but simply hollow.

And his eyes were ... red and mysteriously shining.

I have to run away ...!

Takumi felt so strongly, but Yumi held back Takumi to hold him from the side.Takumi was confident that he had more physical strength than a normal man, but Yumi's power was extraordinary, and the whole body he was holding was screaming.

"Hi ...!"

Yumi opens her mouth wide as it is.

When Takumi saw it, he tried desperately to get out with tears, but his efforts were vainly bitten on his shoulder.Takumi's consciousness fell into the darkness with the feeling that the flesh on his shoulders was cut off.
