How To Be Misunderstood as a Villain in a Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter 12. A new life (7)

I stopped the car as soon as I crossed the bridge. Camilla opened the window and shouted.

“Why did it stop all of a sudden!”

“Abandoned cars here! Let’s block our legs with this! “Give me cover!”

There were zombies on the other side of the bridge too. “Okay,” Camilla fired one shot at each of the guys’ heads as they crept out.

“Cassandra, when you give the signal, start the car slowly!”

I ran to the abandoned car holding the MP 45 submachine gun. 4-Seat sedan vehicle. It seems like it has been abandoned for quite some time.

I saw a person in the back seat who had committed suicide. Anyway, there is no way an ordinary person would sleep on dried blood like that.

But somehow, he raised one arm and fired a shot at her head. Her man’s arm went limp again.

The sedan driver’s window was broken with the butt of the gun and the door was opened. All brakes were released. I ran into the back of our pickup truck.

When I received the vehicle from Fernando and received an explanation, he said that a winch for towing the pickup truck was installed on the front and back of the pickup truck.

I pulled the steel wire straight and hung it properly on the tow hook underneath the sedan. “Depart!” Cassandra seemed to have realized my intention and started the pickup truck.

Half of the bridge was blocked by a single sedan. The zombie horde got quite close. Camilla carefully fired one shot at a time.

“John! “They won’t stop!”

“Talk to me later!”

It was easy to check because the windows of the sedan next to me were all broken. I was a little annoyed by the broken glass all over the seat, but I quickly released the brake.

More zombies came running from a nearby field after hearing the gunshots. I saw the eyes of those who smelled blood roll over. I cautiously thought about shooting the head, but then changed my mind and smashed the knees of the guy who came closest.

“Kyahaaak!”

Of the three guys following behind, two started eating the fallen one, but not one.

It paused for a moment, inspecting the fallen one, glaring at Camilla, who was shooting opposite her from her truck, and then came towards me baring his teeth.

Zombies are determining which entity poses the greatest threat to them.

Bang!

It was Cassandra. She shot the guy in the head with a 1911 pistol and blew it off. It was quite close, but I still hit it carefully.

“Quickly hang the hook! What are you doing!”

She was right. As soon as she hurriedly put on her hook, Cassandra purred and started her car. She didn’t have to completely turn it off. She simply obstructs traffic.

Soon, the bridge was completely blocked. Of course, it cannot be prevented 100%. Any zombies you’ve seen so far will definitely jump over this car without difficulty.

“Camilla! Let’s shoot those who come on the bridge from about 100m away! “Only the ones that escape between the cars!”

“Okay!”

If you defeat one, the others rush in to eat it. That alone forms a ‘zombie breakwater’. It will be more effective in narrow places such as bridges.

As expected.

The zombies easily escaped through the gap in the vehicle and tried to jump over it by stepping on top of it. Camilla and I shot down those who came over. It didn’t matter if it wasn’t the head, so there was no pressure.

A breakwater was formed naturally. Meanwhile, those who try to sneak in through the gap shoot their lower bodies and cause them to collapse.

Soon, a fight broke out between those who were trying to run from the back to the front and those who were trying to eat from the front.

Zombies bit each other and fought among themselves. The option of escaping behind the bridge didn’t seem to occur to me.

After driving for a while, I stopped at a new gas station. There were quite a few zombies so I had to lure her out, but she wouldn’t follow and just stood there dumbly.

– Help me! Help me!

When I play the cell phone recording file, he approaches me with his teeth exposed. Camilla, pulling out her silenced Rock 9 pistol, shot her carefully in the head one by one.

The last zombie has fallen. I was so sleepy and hungry that I felt like I was going to pass out. Cassandra’s whole body trembled.

“Gwae, it’s okay. It’s okay. I’m just hungry… Okay… “

But yesterday, Camilla and I fell asleep for about three hours. It wasn’t Cassandra. Unfortunately, something happened right before my night shift shift, so I couldn’t sleep well.

Camilla replaced her magazine, looking at Cassandra with concern. While I was putting gas in my pickup and two-and-a-half ton truck, she checked out the convenience store inside her gas station. She looked inside from the window, made sure it was safe, and went inside.

“John! “Let’s lift this!”

A box of energy drink cans, a tin bucket full of lollipops, two bundles of bottled water, and a box of cup noodles. He put a lollipop in Cassandra’s mouth and handed her bottled water.

“Jjung. Zuuup… Umm… “

It was hard to tell whether he was sucking the candy or the cheek. He handed me another candy. Camilla must have been tired, too, as she leaned against her car and pressed her forehead.

“Where are we now?”

“Wait a minute, give me a map. Because there’s a little bit of spinning around… A little over half. But I can’t go on like this any longer. “Cassandra is in a bad state, but we also need to get some rest.”

We each drank one can of energy drink. It’s only for a moment, but I feel like my head is clearing. Of course, if the awakening effect wears off, your hair will double.

“Aren’t zombies a little strange?”

Camilla looks at her fallen body in confusion. Her flies were already tangled.

Now we may even have to worry about insects like flies. Looking at those guys reminds me of the zombies in the city.

“The city guys said the same thing. I didn’t even pay attention to the fallen guys. I thought it was because I was less affected by hunger. “But this is also an unprotected area, right?”

“… “I think it’s because of the concentration of pollution.”

It was Cassandra’s voice. I threw out the two completely eaten sticks. Her eyes were red and bloodshot, and her forehead was wet as if she had spilled water while drinking, but she looked much better than before.

“Concentration? What are you talking about?”

Camilla opened her eyes wide.

“It was said that Cybele’s food contains ingredients that cause hunger. To be precise, it is bacteria. To be precise, it is not the bacteria themselves that infect the head, but a by-product of nutrients consumed in the human body… “

“Hey, teacher. I’m sorry, but I can’t eat well and my brain doesn’t work well. So, you’re saying they intentionally put bacteria in people’s food?”

Cassandra shrugged her shoulders as Camilla growled as if she was going to eat her.

“… “It wasn’t just put in food.”

Cassandra trembled, her body shaking. She looked frightened. This time I asked.

“Then?”

“I also sowed it in the field. It was advertised as a liquid nutritional supplement and was sprayed from the water tank of a light aircraft. Vegetable. Fruit…. So, agriculture, farming and livestock farming areas are turned into non-human protected areas… Hike!”

Camilla seemed half wanting to pick up her gun and shoot, and half feeling like she didn’t know how to react.

I deliberately got in between them. Cassandra raised her arms.

“Don’t hit me!….”

“I won’t hit you.”

“Huh, I didn’t know the hunger-inducing virus could survive that long! No one knew! And, there are many places where pesticides have not been sprayed and where the concentration of pollution is high! It doesn’t completely match… !”

“I heard you won’t hit me.”

“Jeong, really?”

I couldn’t believe what he said, so I hugged him lightly. The back of my head was tingling, but I focused on Cassandra first.

I think Cassandra, who is inside me, would be more at peace if she didn’t look over her shoulder at Camilla.

“So what happens if you spray it? No, more than that. “So, those germs have polluted this entire area?”

“Oh, maybe? Wow!”

Camilla approached with long strides. I turned my back on Cassandra and blocked her path. Camilla lightly placed her hand on her waist.

“Camilla, wait a minute. “It’s not something to take out your anger on Cassandra.”

“John, it’s not your job to protect yourself like this. Who is shooting? Let’s talk. What the hell are you scientists… “

“Cassandra. Wait for a sec. How long does that germ survive? So what if you mix it with water and spray it?”

“… “I won’t die.”

This time I turned around. Cassandra shook her body like before. I swallowed hard, worried about what Camilla and I would do.

“What do you mean? “You’re not going to die?”

“Oh, if the temperature gets too low or too high, stop the activity. Even if you put it in boiling water, it will not disappear 100%. If you put it in disinfectant, it will die, but… “In a land like this.”

“Where on earth did you get such germs?”

Camilla, who couldn’t bear it any longer, lost her temper. Cassandra looked like she was about to cry.

“Hey, not even Cassandra knows! Just… just… Cassandra just happened to discover one of the many ways to combine cells!

Well, I really don’t know where that sample came from! Where did the tens or millions of germs come from? How does Cassandra know them all? “

“Aren’t you cheating?”

Camilla couldn’t overcome her anger and stomped on her floor. But I thought it was a possible story.

When I was studying current affairs to prepare for a job, scientists in St. Petersburg awakened a nematode that had been frozen in the Siberian frozen soil for 46,000 years. When they woke up again, they continued their lives as ‘bugs’ as if nothing had happened.

It’s not just bugs. Bacteria can do that too. A French research team also awakened a virus that had been dormant in the Siberian frozen soil for 48,500 years. Not one species, but 13 species. They said they were still infecting the amoebas and were actively moving around.

But then, someone would have found, named, and typed the virus.

“Who typed that? “That won’t happen.”

“… That is… Where we were going… It was supposed to be the cultured meat lab. But I don’t know the experimenter’s name. It was classified.

So… I thought if I went there, I would be able to find out who did it. “If only we knew the origins of this virus.”

“If I know, what difference does it make?”

Camilla growled. Cassandra answered, clinging closely to my back. She almost whispered.

“Jeong, if you know the exact origin… “Maybe we’ll find a vaccine.”

Camilla let out her disgust and walked two steps beside her. She then aimed her pistol. “Ouch!” Cassandra sat down. The muzzle of her gun spewed fire.

Sharp.

The zombie coming from behind collapsed.

“… John. “Can you drive?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll drive the pickup truck. “I drove the truck so much that I got sick of it.”

Camilla’s forehead was also full of sweat. She walked closer and wiped the sweat with the sleeve of her dress. Startled, Camilla pulled away from her, but quickly accepted it calmly.

“Thank you, Camilla. “For putting up with it.”

“… No. I was so emotional. “Hey, send Cassandra my way.”

I can’t believe I’ll just go ahead and shoot them, or throw them away. All kinds of thoughts came to mind. Camilla squinted one of her eyes.

“I need to let Cassandra sleep too. To make me sleep in the backseat of a pickup truck. The truck was a bit uncomfortable. What is this?”

I took off the wrapper of her lollipop and handed it to Camilla. Sticking out her tongue, she smiled slightly and sucked on it.
