Oliver exhaled as he leaned against the window, watching the zombies wreak havoc outside the building.

“I heard that you said the same thing as me.” Oliver's black hair moved in the wind, the third-floor school building window was open. He crossed his arms and did not look at the person who had just been beside him.

The blonde hair that floated in the wind had given the explanation that she was Leah.

Leah looked at Oliver, she tilted her head slightly. She is 172 cm tall with a slender body built with a strict diet and exercise. She should laugh because in the past, she often endured her hunger so she wouldn't gain weight, and now she has to endure hunger to survive.

“You said that this zombie has low intelligence.” Oliver turned around, he looked at Leah, who was staring back at him. Beautiful green eyes, like delicate leaves being blown amidst the commotion of zombies.

"Yeah, they think that what I said was a lie."

Leah chuckled a little, every time she said it, there would be eyes of disapproval for it.

“You have a very great observation.”

"I think they should also understand that. Observing them will provide all the explanations, right?”

Oliver liked how Leah thought, she was a real schoolgirl who used her brain to think.

“I almost died a few days ago, the classroom door was unlocked. I thought, yes, this is the end, but those zombies can't open the door, that's when I knew they were stupid."

Leah smiled with her right shoulder raised, she looked proud of what she said.

"We should be grateful for that. Stupid zombies, we can fight more easily than if the zombies are smart and still they are strong.”

Leah moved her eyes, she looked at the zombies that were dragging their feet. They stroll, but when they see prey, they run very convulsively. Whereas scared humans will make a mistake, fall, then get bitten and they will transform or in other cases, they die as zombie food.

"I know how and I think you'll be pleased to hear that."

Leah nodded her head, she was looking forward to this. She is a spoiled child but mentally strong. When she doesn't get what she wants, Leah is used to arguing and being indifferent to her parents. Her expression looks a little sad.

One day earlier, after Oliver and Dereck managed to get into the school building.

“You are 32 in number?” Oliver looked at them, the paper in his hands moved because the wind blew so slowly.

Oliver looked down at the paper he was holding.

“Twenty men and twelve women. You guys look like you're camping.” Oliver looked back at him. "How did you guys come to school? I didn't see many bodies in this building, did you guys burn it?" asked Oliver, scratching his head.

"We dropped him on the back," Nolan explained briefly, his expression casual. He showed no sadness, a person who acted logically and cared about life.

"Ow, alright." Oliver took it casually. Nolan opened his mouth again, explaining more than Oliver wanted.

“There are 74 people here, including teachers. We have activities at school, next Sunday should be the day of welcoming new students and that's why the people are important here."

Nolan glanced at Axel. Only the delinquent wasn't part of the team. He survived and was recognized by Nolan could be helpful.

Seeing death in front of him and being able to survive this long, Nolan forced himself to endure.

"We'll just leave the seven men here," Oliver said again, the others had an expression of disapproval.

“You're going to leave seven men here? Then who will go and stay?” the men start to fuss, they want to be in this place because they can be safe. Coming out would make themselves prey.

Oliver exhaled and put the paper he was holding onto the table.

"I made a mistake, huh?" asked Oliver with a smile. The school children who wore sad faces nodded their heads.

“Both men and women, you will probably be forced to go out. Safe."

Their mouths are open, this is increasingly budgeting them, their bodies are stiff, eyes glaze over because this pressure can drive them crazy.

Leah raised her hand. Draw attention towards him.

"I'm going out."

"Good, we have brave volunteers." Oliver pointed at Leah.

"Me too." Nolan raised his hand. The man seemed to have a leadership spirit.

Few people volunteered themselves. Oliver chose them, he chose the ones that looked brave and strong.

He had to save these children, so he had to keep a few of them at least alive. Don't let more people die than life.

His memory swirled at that moment. His question to Dae was a form of anticipation that he would not be in danger.

"Did none of them die?" he asked.

"Says who?" Dae narrowed his eyes. This time he showed up with no piece of meat and no food for Dae to snatch from Oliver.

"Just my guess."

"That's okay. If they die, but you can still save the others, your quest is over.”

Oliver took a deep breath. He gulped his spit and still stared at Dae.

"I'm glad to hear that because otherwise, it would have been a more difficult mission."

"Difficult?"

"I'm playing a hero for someone I don't know."

Dae laughed so blandly at Oliver's words.

“You are playing pawn. Don't overestimate." Dae grinned, and he disappeared from Oliver's presence.

Oliver's face looked very irritated at the ugly, stupid words in front of him earlier. Someday, if he can find out that hitting guides is allowed, he will do it.

The sound of a chair being dragged brought her thoughts back.

“Ten people, including my friend and me.”

Oliver decided like that, Dereck approached him, and he whispered next to Oliver.

"Isn't that too little?"

"You can protect them all, Dereck?" asked Oliver making Dereck silent.

Protecting others, he's often scared and feels like running away from here.

Everyone in the room was silent, they couldn't argue with Oliver's words and those who didn't get out of this building felt very grateful even though they kept it from being seen.

Axel looked at Leah, his eyes sharp. The piercing on his lips moved as he smirked for a second nonchalantly.

"Just watch that road."

He walked out of the room, ignoring the adults he didn't know.

Oliver noticed that the brat named Axel was at least not just any brat because he had courage.

    Oliver kept watching the situation inside the place, looking so calm that they hesitated to enter. “Maybe they're the same as the zombies we've been fighting, Oliver. They are just in a lower position.” Oliver listened to Dereck's words, but he disagreed with what Dereck said. He was still watching from a distance. “This is strange, even if they have low intelligence, I think they will move intuitively. Like starving animals, they will surely seek their food.” Leah said something more reasonable, the two looked at each other and expressed their thoughts. "Your house is pretty deep inside, and what do you think happened there, Leah?" Oliver didn't soften the look in his eyes, the rough and devoid feeling he gave Leah. His eyes moving, he glanced at Leah's hand. The fingernails that Oliver was sure had always been beautifully polished were now covered in sores. There were a few little bits of flesh on the sides of the nails, Oliver knew Leah always tugged at them when she was as a

He brought a warm drink and placed it beside Oliver while he sat beside him.

Dereck spoke until he laughed a little and then sipped his warm drink."They will definitely make a book that is completely useless." Oliver's response was cold; he never

He looked like a professional now."What's wrong with calling me?" Dae asked as he stared with calm eyes at the man before him.You know what I want to know right away about this notification screen. How come my notifications are green? Is there really not going to be another zombie attack later?" Oliver asked firmly as he stared at the goblin in front of him with quite a sharp gaze, making the goblin smile with his sharp teeth clearly visible."It's true that if that's the case, you should feel very happy because now you won't be facing zombies anymore. now you are all human survivors in this world and you will start a new era."Dae said it excitedly, but it didn't sit well with Oliver.

She showed it to Oliver and made Oliver look at it more intensely than before."I don't know why you can be confident like this, and fortunately, I followed what you wanted because your blood does resist the zombie virus in the zombie's body. This is extraordinary, and I don't know how aggressive it can be. I've never come across anything like this." Amelia exclaimed as she said it.

Oliver was very weak when he said it, he looked back at the man in front of him."I'm asking you to take care of me... it looks like I'm going to have a fainting spell because this is so hard."Oliver spoke disjointedly to Dereck. Dereck looked at Oliver, still waiting for what Oliver would say next."What I mean is that I might pass out... and you have to trust me to keep taking care of me... don't let anyone else shoot me when I pass out from this zombie bite because I'm immune to zombies."Dereck widened his eyes He was very surprised by Oliver's words, unexpected things said by his friend.

    Dereck's head was hurting so much because of the attacks that were always carried out. He was separated because of the attack, his expression looked pale because of the attack that hit him, and his bones felt so painful because his body hit the car very strongly. He tried to move his body slowly, and it took a lot of time and effort. He thought about Oliver, but looking around him, he didn't see Oliver."Oliver..."Dereck called Oliver's name softly and had no energy, fact that he had seen Oliver last time when Oliver was getting a crushing blow from the red-eyed zombie. He tried to stand up with trembling hands he finally managed to stand up.The sound of screaming was heard. People were still fighting the zombies that kept coming at them, the zombies were relentless, but Dereck was more concerned about his friend. He moved towards the building to check on Oliver's condition."You must be okay right?" Dereck spoke in his own heart to calm his mind. His uncomfortable feeling really ma
