Apocalypse: Apparently, I Can See Zombies

Jin-woo didn't know why pulling the fire alarm would cause him to turn into a zombie, nor did he have time to think too deeply about it. Despite deciding not to pull the fire alarm, and getting rid of the sense of danger as soon as it came, his mind was still reeling from its aftereffects.

At the same time, he happened to glance through the window into the cafeteria, and the once lively scene with students laughing and chatting had turned into a pile of bloody corpses strewn about haphazardly.

Swash!

A loud noise that sounded like a huge wave hitting a coastline echoed in Jin-woo's ear, and he turned to his right to see a sea of blood turning a corner before barreling down the hallway toward him. A familiar but stronger stench of blood proliferated his senses, and his stomach slightly churned when he saw what looked like human flesh and unsorted body parts tumbling about in the blood.

However, in the blink of an eye, all of that vanished into thin air. Then, a sudden loud yell brought Jin-woo back to his senses.

"What! Are you serious?!"

Jin-woo turned to look through the window to see that it was just a male student yelling while he chatted with his friends around one of the many tables.

Everything had returned to normal, but Jin-woo's nose twitched as the faint smell of blood still lingered in his nose.

After taking a deep breath and exhaling it, Jin-woo looked through the small window at the students in the cafeteria once more before making up his mind.

With a few bounces in place, Jin-woo tried to get himself in the right state of mind. Then, in one swift motion, he pushed the double doors open and rushed inside. However, he acted too fast, and his legs tangled beneath him causing him to crash hard onto the ground.

This caused a brief silence to descend in the cafeteria as most of the students stopped talking to look over at this person. They all watched as Jin-woo hurriedly got back up and frantically gestured behind him with a finger before yelling loudly.

"There's a school shooter! Someone called the police and locked the cafeteria doors! HURRY!!"

"Wha-What?!"

One male student immediately exclaimed in shock as he flew up from his seat. The other students reacted similarly as they all looked at Jin-woo with horror-stricken faces.

Immediately questions and cries of panic began to fly around.

"Is that true? Is someone really attacking the school!"

"Hurry and close the doors!"

"Where's my phone?! I'm going to call the cops!"

"Damn it, what's happening?! This can't be real; he must be pranking us or something!"

Voices of contention also appeared, and the main one came from an adult who was supervising the students on lunch serving duty. From behind the lunch area, he looked at Jin-woo with a frown and said.

"Young man don't make up such lies. What are you trying to do?"

"No, I'm telling the truth! Me and my classmates were outside, and we saw it happen in the west wing. My classmates rushed into the gymnasium while I came here to warn everyone. I don't know if the attackers are in the east wing as well, but since they've started on the top floor, we still have time to barricade the cafeteria and wait for the police to arrive!"

After hearing Jin-woo's words, one youth's face pale and he stuttered out.

"Y-You said they, there's more than one shooter?"

"Yes, and they're coming! Hurry and lock the doors!"

After yelling that, Jin-woo turned and dashed out the door.

"Wait, where are you going?!"

The only adult in the cafeteria yelled after Jin-woo as he came from around the serving area.

"I have to tell the other students who don't know. Please believe me and lock the doors!"

The double metal doors closed with a thud behind Jin-woo before one male student suddenly dashed forward and bolted them. Similarly, someone ran to the other exit and locked those doors. At the same time, everyone began taking out their phones to call the police.

Jin-woo's panic expression was too real for them to just pass it off as a prank, so everyone began freaking out, which caused a cacophony of noise to fill the cafeteria with tensions rising by the second.

The youth who had immediately locked the door behind Jin-woo, stayed and glanced out the window. He saw Jin-woo turn to look to his right before spinning around and dashing to the left down the hall.

The youth upon seeing this had his heart shudder thinking that perhaps a shooter was coming down the hall. However, instead of a single shooter, he saw several figures dashing passed the door heading after Jin-woo.

The youth momentarily paused at this scene as the figures weren't carrying any guns. Frowning, the youth was just about to let out a loud curse and tell everyone Jin-woo was lying, however, the words got stuck in his throat as one of the figures running past the door suddenly stopped and turned to stare at him.

Disheveled hair, bloodshot eyes, black veins, gray flesh, mouth and clothes covered in blood. The youth's face went ashen when he saw this female student.

"Wha-What the fuck?"

He asked aloud but rather than getting an intelligible response, he received a screech instead. The zombie then dashed towards the door and slammed against it, the small window cracked from the headlong impact.

The youth, filled with horror, immediately stumbled back and accidentally fell on his rear. However, he quickly scrambled up and yelled while pointing at the doors.

"Zom-Zombie! There are zombies outside!!"

His yelling immediately drew the other students' attention, but most of them were either confused by his words or slightly annoyed.

What was he talking about, that there were some zombies outside?

The youth, seeing that no one reacted to his words, yelled once again.

"I'm being serious! A zombie just slammed against the window with her head and cracked it; Look! Look!"

Everyone followed the youths pointing and looked at the window to see that it was indeed crack, but then…

BANG!

Everyone slightly jumped as a sudden loud noise came from the door. It was as if a wild animal had madly slammed against it with the full force of its body.

Suddenly, Jin-woo's previous claim and now this youth's words caused everyone to silently stare at the door with wary expressions— as if waiting for something to happen.

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!
