Chapter 5 - Zombies, Special Creatures

1 hour before Akira's arrival in the world of High School of the Dead

#####

"What's taking you so long!!! Can't you hurry up, hey!!!" A man's angry voice was heard as he shouted at a middle-aged man who looked unwell.

Standing in front of him while buying something at a convenience store.

"Excuse me...I..." Just as the middle-aged man was about to answer, he suddenly fell unconscious and quickly fainted on the spot.

Seeing this, those in line panicked.

"What's wrong with that man? Is he okay?" someone asked.

"Call an ambulance quickly!" Another also said.

"Sir and madam, please move aside and make room for that man!" a young supermarket employee immediately came to his aid.

However, shortly after, as the young man tried to help the unconscious man, the previously unconscious man suddenly woke up, his eyes turning red.

In an instant, the man grabbed the young man beside him.

"Hey...let go!!!" The young man, gripped tightly, was startled and immediately exclaimed.

"Old man, what are you doing!!" The others also looked displeased with the man's aggressive behavior.

But what happened next terrified those present.

Because the middle-aged man, who had previously fainted and quickly regained consciousness, was now biting the young man's neck.

"Ahhhhhhh...what are you doing!!!!" With a pained tone, the young man struggled and struggled to free himself.

As the others watched, they were confused and afraid, wondering what was happening so often.

In a matter of seconds, the young man's neck was torn open, bleeding profusely, and a piece of flesh immediately appeared in the middle-aged man's mouth.

With a blank and terrifying expression, the middle-aged man chewed the piece of flesh in his mouth.

Seeing this, several women who were there and witnessed the incident immediately screamed hysterically.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh... chaos soon ensued.

In a different place, the same scene repeated itself, only the perpetrators and the location were different.

Soon, the entire city, which had been peaceful, became tense, as no one had ever imagined such a terrifying event would unfold across the city.

And what the residents of the city didn't know was that the nearest city was also experiencing the same thing.

Even across the country, the tragic situation was unfolding, spreading rapidly like rain in the dry season, quickly soaking the ground.

Whether in the village, in the city, on the beach, or even in the mountains, everyone experienced the same thing, only on a different scale.

And in a high school in the city, a tense and fearful atmosphere spread as many of the teachers and students at the school transformed into bloodthirsty figures.

Those who saw their friends and teachers transform into zombies panicked and tried to find a way to escape.

And among the many who tried to escape, there was a group The surviving students were seen trying to break through the encirclement by running towards the school parking lot, their target being the school bus.

Meanwhile, Akira, having arrived in the world of High School of the Dead, now appears in a shopping area 1 km from the high school where the protagonists are located.

In a dilapidated clothing store, in a changing room, Akira, appearing in his tactical gear, immediately realized where he was.

"Ahh, it seems I've successfully arrived in the new world. Then the first priority is to check the surroundings," Akira noted with his spatial scan, which could detect up to 20 meters.

He was in a dilapidated clothing store, which appeared to have suffered a significant tragedy.

With the store's doors and windows shattered and damaged by the heavy impact, Akira observed that the damage to the store was caused by a private car that had crashed into it.

Inside the car, a trapped male zombie was seen trying to wriggle out, but the force of the impact had caused the driver's front end to be trapped.

This resulted in The zombie couldn't get out.

He could only scream and move with limited movement, trying to free himself.

On the other side, not far from the car, several zombies, seemingly wandering aimlessly, were scattered not far from the clothing store where Akira was.

As for other places with limited spatial coverage, Akira couldn't detect them.

After confirming that he was in a fortified area, In the relative safety of the car, Akira then decided to move towards the zombie trapped inside the car.

"I'll try to determine if the zombies in this world are special creatures. If so, I'll have a great harvest." Akira decided to try what he had in mind.

Looking back at his stats,

With his additional abilities, Akira was confident he could make a real difference.

With cautious steps, Akira approached the zombie trapped inside the car.

When Akira and the zombie were about 5 meters apart, the previously inactive zombie suddenly became much more active.

It seemed to struggle more violently, as if it had sensed prey approaching.

Seeing this, Akira mentally noted that zombies react within a range of at least 5 meters when a normal human approaches them.

In other words, as long as Akira didn't get within 5 meters of the zombie, he would be safer, and the zombie wouldn't be able to sense his presence clearly.

Afraid that the zombie would attract the attention of other zombies, Akira quickly placed the zombie in his space. Using the space's range, he managed to quickly place the zombie inside.

[A special creature has been detected to have entered the space. Will the host extract it?] The system beeped, making Akira very happy.

"It worked! Great!!! I knew coming to this world was a good idea. With so many zombies, I'll be able to level up quickly!" Akira was excited as he imagined gathering many zombies into his space and leveling it up.

"Extract," Akira commanded.

[Extracting… Creature successfully extracted…] The system successfully extracted the zombie.

Akira then looked back at his status. The points displayed were now 401/10,000.

This meant the zombie was only worth 1 point. This meant he needed nearly 10,000 zombies to store in his space.

"What a shame, why is that worth so few points?" Akira groaned slightly when he realized that one zombie was only worth 1 point.

"Crack…" The sound of footsteps was heard, waking Akira from his thoughts.
