A world overflowing with zombies, the tenth day.
Takemura Yusuke is 25 years old, a former salaryman.
His company went bankrupt a year ago.
Job hunting unsuccessful, a little while ago becoming a shut-in in his apartment, he played
games single-mindedly.
In addition, it was an action game about shooting zombies with guns.
Becoming absorbed for a week, it was hours on end.
After taking a break, properly shaving his beard, he went outside the door to buy food.
In the middle of the apartment’s hallway, he was attacked by a strange man.
It was frightening to even recall it.
A middle-aged man wearing a suit, while drooling, jumped with a warped face.
It was just like rabies. Kicking away in a hurry, he threw a potted plant that was nearby, and fled
to his room. The man came chasing, beginning to heavily pound the door. Yusuke trembled,
making a phone call to 110, there was no connection at all.
Eventually the mood became worse, becoming unable to stand. He exerted the last of his strength
and drew the chain on the door, he fell when he entered his futon, Yusuke’s consciousness
stopped.
It seems he slept for about 3 days.
Although he woke up still dazed, he quenched his thirst with barley tea in the refrigerator,
waking up refreshed. He was feeling unusually refreshed.
Remembering the man who attacked him, he checked the door in a panic, there were no traces of
anything broken.
Although there was relief for the time being, he hesitated to go out.
Yusuke started up his PC, searching the incident on the net. That mad man, investigating to see
whether or not he was caught.
Now, the world was far from what he knew of it.
“Are you serious......”
Occurring simultaneously all over the world, a mysterious epidemic.
A 100% fatality rate. The brain is hit with a high fever, infected humans die within the first day.
Afterwards, their corpse begins to move within 24 hours. They begin indiscriminately attacking
Humans bitten by them are infected. die, and become their companions.
“Can’t be zombies......”
Yusuke muttered dumbfounded.
Although he searched various news sites, half of them didn’t connect. The remainder also,
ceased updating about 4 days ago.
There were a few sites that updated in real time, all the information there was hopeless.
Government not functioning, although rescue activities centered around prefectural assembly
members and the Self Defense Force continue in various places, it isn’t going well. Roads are
blocked by abandoned vehicles, refugees left behind in various places.
It’s like the whole world was struck by a catastrophe.
In a quiet dark room, even if you look at it while sitting in front of a PC, it had no sense of reality
Remembering the television, the channel for the game monitor is changed to commercial
broadcast, there was a sandstorm (static) everywhere.
Yusuke stood up, approaching the window of the veranda. Opening the curtains a little, squinting
his eyes due to the dazzling light, took a peek outside.
The spectacle seen from the fifth floor of the apartment, the same street as always. Only
buildings could be seen in the distance, there wasn’t anything particularly unusual.
Opening the window, coming out to the veranda.
Looking around, the state of the ground stood out. Several cars were abandoned in disorder.
Stranded on the sidewalk, they were also thrust into stores.
There was a shadow of a person on the side. However, staggering aimlessly, it seemed to just
wander. Is it really a normal human being? Yusuke couldn’t judge.
“We’ve got a big problem”
Going back to the room, sitting down on a chair, muttering.
At least, it’s true that something happened.
An infection started, just about the time Yusuke was absorbed in the game. After that 2, 3 days,
swept over the whole of Japan.
So that means, that man who attacked was also a zombie? I wonder?
Thinking until there, Yusuke froze.
Rolling up his right arm’s sleeve in a panic, checking the part that was attacked by the man.
There, digging through the clothes and into the skin, there were bite marks from the man.
“............”
The bleeding already stopped, it became a scab, Yusuke investigated a treatment method on the
net impatiently.
However, it’s over if you’re bitten, was the only information that came out.
“Incubation period......? But, it was written that you die in a day. High fever...... to that degree,
no matter how you think about it.”
Chills after being bitten by the man, infection symptoms.
However, Yusuke is alive.
“He wasn’t a zombie, just a mad man, did a strange bacteria enter the wound? ...... I don’t
understand.”
Just in case, he looked up the phone numbers of nearby hospitals on the net. Everywhere didn’t
connect. Both the police and emergency were the same.
Although he still wasn’t able to have a sense of reality, it seems to be a fact that society has
stopped.
