Chapter 4 [System Unlock!]
2 Zombies on my front banging on the master bedroom door.
9 Zombies on my left near the entrance banging on the guest room door.
[Survive the Zombie Horde for the next 35 minutes and 34 seconds]
…
My heart skipped a few beats as I saw the horde of the Zombie trying their best to get into the guest room.
I did not know what was going on, but whatever it was; it kept the zombie occupied in the guest room. Maybe they liked banging against the door? Probably not.
In any case, I turned towards the alleyway towards my room and moved hurriedly with broken steps. Despite me being a tad bit more energetic than before, I still had difficulty in walking due to weakness in my body.
One step at a time, I walked towards my room and reached it as fast as I could. I did not take any chances to turn around and see if any zombie was attracted towards me. That's something people in horror movies do before dying and I ain't doing that shit.
I reached my room and hurriedly closed the door from the inside and it made some sound, probably attracting a few zombies in the process.
"Huff… huff… huff… Okay so… What next?!" I spoke hurriedly as I caught my breath and looked around to find a few things that I could use here to put against the door.
The bed would be impossible, the table would be too heavy, the almera would be heavier and then there is nothing else left which could be called as heavy
'So much for being a minimalist… wait?!! Books! I wonder if I had kept some here,' I thought with a smile forming on my face before I hurriedly ran towards my almeera.
-Creaeeaaakkkk…
'Ah! The sound of opening my almeera, I wish I had oiled this sh*t as my mother always screamed at me to do it… In any case…' a smile bloomed on my face as I saw half of my shelf filled with books that I had bought on sale. I thought it was a waste of money but looks like god had other plans for them…
Medical Students, or medicos for short, have all one thing in common. A lot of books that they read every day and twice that amount that they keep in their shelf for no reason and trust me when I say this but in the whole duration of my medical school, I had never been this happy that I had so many books in my shelf.
'Heavy!' I thought as I tried to take out a few books at once, but it looked like I was too weak to do so. Hence, I just proceeded to do it with one or two books at a time.
-Bang!
-Bang!
-Bang!
[Survive the Zombie Horde for 32 minutes 29 seconds]
[Zombies will break into your room in 25 minutes]
'Sh*t!' I screamed inside before hurrying with my books' placement.
The time kept ticking. I piled as many books as I could against the door. Even though I was getting tired, I still kept going because well I didn't wanna die this easily.
While I kept piling up the books, one after another, I kept my eyes on the System timer as well, and before I knew it…
[Survive the Zombie Horde for 5 minutes]
[Zombies will break into your room in 8 minutes]
At this point, I could take a few chances regarding what to do next.
First is to wait for 5 minutes and hope I get something out of this System thing that would help me survive, but honestly, I would like to rely on something more logical.
The second thing is to run to the bathroom, as the gate is strong there, which should buy me another 30 minutes or so, though, that will just be getting trapped before ending up as zombie food.
And finally, there is the option to go to the balcony. The balcony gate is made of glass, so I don't think it will be able to hold the zombies for more than… let's say, 5 minutes. Sadly, we are on the 64th Floor, so that is a dead end as well.
-Bang!
-Bang!
-Bang!
[Survive the Zombie Horde for 2 minutes]
[Zombies will break into your room in 5 minutes]
"Phew!!!" I took a deep breath as I stood up and walked towards the balcony with the knife that I took from the kitchen. Gulping a little, I opened the curtains and my heartbeat dropped a little.
I saw the scene in front of me with my eyes widening in disbelief. Even though I had expected this… it was still shocking. I opened the sliding door before getting out of the room and closing it from the outside.
The cold wind brushed against my face and I moved a bit forward towards the railing to get a closer look at the smoke coming from various places. I could hear gunshots if I concentrated enough and from some places, I could hear the sirens of ambulances and cars.
The city was engulfed in chaos… the world seemed to have broken… it really was an… Apocalypse.
I slowly let my body lay on the ground, with my eyes still concentrated on all the madness that was in front of me.
