Chapter 4 - A Girl

A woman's voice appeared from behind someone's shadow. Someone who is not known by the owner of the room.

Tanaka noticed the human's shadow. He could guess that it was the girl from the next room.

Tanaka tried to enter the corridor of the room. The place where the light switch is.

Tanaka was about to turn on the light in his room. However, Tanaka paused for a moment when he heard something from the girl's direction. The sound of a hungry stomach.

“… I have to hurry… huh, huh… I'm done… I'll die and accompany the occupants of this room-”

"Hello!"

The shadow of the person turned around to lean against the wall of the room. At the same time Tanaka cut off the girl's words.

The still unclear image of how she looked was taken aback by the face that turned towards Tanaka. They face each other.

The girl screamed quite loudly. A normal surprised reaction because what Tanaka did gave the girl a jumpscare.

The jumpscare felt by a girl who thought she was alone around there. Alone in the sense of being the only human, meaning that the zombies were not counted by her.

“Hrau~ kra!”

Tanaka sharpened his hearing, he could feel that there was the sound of footsteps heading upstairs. Head to room number six of course.

Zombies.

Tanaka who realized this immediately put some of his belongings on the floor and immediately closed the door and locked it.

Realizing that he was not alone in the room, Tanaka turned around and tried to understand the movement of the girl's silhouette.

Tanaka approached and turned on the light switch. Every morning, Tanaka's room is always dark.

The light illuminates the room. The silhouette of the shadow is now clearly visible.

A woman who looks young. Long messy blonde hair. The high school clothes were attached as his clothes.

The chaotic appearance can be seen from a glimpse of the girl's current condition.

Tanaka tried to look at her eyes which were being closed due to the sudden change in the intensity of the light. The glare felt by the unprepared girl.

Slowly he started to open her eyes. The iris of the eye that at first glance looks blue-black.

A disheveled beautiful girl in a hikikomori's room. A girl who is pointing a knife in front of the owner of the room.

“Oi oi, wait a minute, relax okay! It's me, Tanaka, your neighbor and owner of this room!”

Tanaka exclaimed trying to calm the girl in front of him who looked dangerous. A girl who wasn't too foreign to him since they had spoken to each other before, but hadn't gotten that close to being an acquaintance.

'He looks so defensive!'

Tanaka thought in his mind. He surveyed the surrounding situation while looking for a way to break up this dangerous atmosphere.

A sharp look appeared in the girl's eyes. Although Tanaka was aware of that, he also realized something else that was no less important.

Those eyes weren't fixed on him or anything else around him.

The girl advanced slowly, followed by Tanaka who retreated backwards.

Backtrack and keep going back until the hikikomori reaches the door where the zombies are banging on it.

"Who are you!"

“I told you it was Tanaka. Tanaka the occupant of this room!”

Tanaka exclaimed who himself had introduced his name many times since they met.

"Lie! There's no one inhabiting you-"

While the girl was talking, she suddenly closed her eyes and mouth. She stretched his body until she finally fell forward. Fall in front of Tanaka.

Luckily the hand holding the knife let go of the object first before her body fell. The falling knife immediately bounced off to the side, where the girl's body didn't fall.

The sound of hunger constantly escaping from the girl's chest could be clearly heard by Tanaka's ears. This indicates that the girl is starving.

It was something that Tanaka had only been able to realize after a long time. Other people can also starve. He should have known that from the start.

Immediately, Tanaka lifted the high school girl's body to transfer to the bed.

Now, the problem Tanaka needs to overcome is the zombies that are about to enter. Previously, during an incident where he didn't know anything, Tanaka let a girl become a victim.

However, this time he was not going to let the same thing happen again.

Repeated crashes were heard accompanied by the sound of zombies. Indistinct moaning sound.

"Fwuh, let's make a bet!"

Tanaka was still at a loss. Was there a chance that the zombies would attack him or was he completely undetectable even after attacking them.

For the sake of the girl's safety, Tanaka blocked the passageway with an object that could roughly cover the narrow space. The bathroom door was chosen which Tanaka could easily remove.

"Strange, is my strength really this big!"

Tanaka still remembers how weak he used to be. The power he received at this time was completely unreasonable. However, he put that aside first because his priority right now was the zombies who were constantly making noise.

The knife that was on the floor was taken. He gripped the doorknob, waiting for the right moment for him to open the lock and push the zombies behind him.

At the moment when it felt like the zombies were hitting the door simultaneously, Tanaka released the door lock and pushed the rectangular object forward. The zombies bounced backwards.

Tanaka quickly plunged a kitchen knife into the head of one of the approaching zombies.

Blood splattered in all directions followed by blood spurting from the scar. Zombie blood.

Tanaka killed someone, or rather a zombie.

"Why do I feel used to this?"

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

However, he strangely felt completely normal with that sadistic sight. His body moves on its own eliminating the zombies one by one around.

After completely making the zombies 'dead', Tanaka rechecked the situation.

There were a total of seventeen zombies approaching towards Tanaka's room. They came from the same direction, the boarding house gate.

There were four approaching zombies who were already on the second floor. Thinking the zombies would attack, Tanaka tried to dodge. However, the four zombies just walked past and barged into the corridor of Tanaka's room trying to check what was inside.

"I was completely ignored!"

A hypothesis is now a proven fact. Tanaka is sure that he is completely undetected by the zombies.

Super strength, fairly proficient killing ability and the ability to be undetected by zombies. For Tanaka this is super duper cheating in a new world filled with zombies.

After pausing for a moment to feel surprised by this fact, Tanaka headed straight for the four zombies who were trying to break through the barricades of Tanaka's passage. He killed them quickly.

Now only a few zombies are outside. However, Tanaka was starting to feel the aftereffects of what he was doing.

Nausea feeling. Even though Tanaka's body felt used to killing and so on, Tanaka's mind and psyche remained like a normal hikikomori.

"Damn, I have to find another way!"

Tanaka couldn't continue to kill the remaining thirteen confused zombies in the courtyard. He also couldn't just let them wander around since there was a girl who was unconscious in his room.

Tanaka saw the lawn mower beside the boarding house's building.

"There it is!"

Tanaka then went straight down from the second floor to the first floor to get the mower. Jumping from the second floor to the first floor had no effect on Tanaka at all.

Tanaka tried to start the lawnmower and he let it stand. This is very dangerous to do because Tanaka could be hit by the sharp rope rotation.

However, Tanaka succeeded and went straight away from where he had ignited. The zombies were attracted by the sound of the engine from the lawnmower and tried to get closer to observe.

Scattered body. That's the thing that can describe the scene that happened.

The thirteen zombies that were heading towards the machine were cut in half. Separate the neck or torso of the body from the bottom.

Tanaka himself tried to observe from the second floor, hoping he wouldn't be splashed with blood. Unfortunately, he got hit anyway.

Although Tanaka felt nauseous at first, he was now back to his normal state. Tanaka felt a very strange feeling. The feeling where it was as if a certain substance had entered through the neck to calm Tanaka's mind.

The lawnmower eventually breaks down, leaving two zombies still standing. Tanaka then killed the rest with the knife he used earlier.

"Fyuhh,"

Tanaka sighed. All the zombies that entered the vicinity were already killed.

The zombies that were gathered due to the noise made by Tanaka when opening the door of the boarding house, when pushing the basket and when the girl screamed.

In a costume filled with blood and pieces of flesh, Tanaka looked like a butcher. He tried to clean his clothes. However, it was clear that only pieces of flesh could be released where the blood still stuck and seeped.

"I hope this stain can be removed."

said Tanaka as he took off his clothes for him to soak.

However, he remembered something very important.

"Ah yes, the girl!"

Tanaka recalled that in his room, someone was lying down, namely the starving high school girl. Obviously he couldn't leave her in a stupor for too long.

Tanaka immediately cleaned his body in the bathroom downstairs. After cleaning up, Tanaka went straight to his room, leaving the clothes he had left soaking in the tub of clear water which was slowly turning red.

Tanaka removed the bathroom door barricade that he had used to cover the bedroom corridor. A girl was lying on Tanaka's right side.

Tanaka, whose body was clean, tried to check the pulse on his hand. It's weak, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Tanaka immediately took a cold compress and brewed some water for him to make noodles. Noodles made so that the girl is released from her starvation condition.

Compress already placed on his forehead. Tanaka crumbled the noodles because it would be too difficult for him to feed whole noodles to an unconscious person.

The crushed product is then given hot water which makes it like a water gravy with noodle grains. Since it was still hot, Tanaka blew on it.

"Hopefully this can be digested!"

Tanaka hoped for something that would normally not happen. However, since the girl's body was actually used to hunger, she would be fine eating such unhealthy food.

The most important thing for her right now is getting nutrients and carbohydrates in any form.

Spoon after spoon went through the girl's mouth. Tanaka who was lifting her up slightly now realized how beautiful she was.

His eyelids looked very well groomed. His nose is a little sharp, but not too high. Her lips which looked very supple as they collided with the spoon.

However, that was put aside by Tanaka since the girl's condition was critical.

Tanaka continued to feed him until one cup of noodles was finished. After a while, Tanaka put the girl back to sleep. Checking the girl's condition, her pulse and heart rate are still there even though the checking is a bit less accurate.

"I hope he survives!"

Tanaka said softly. He then proceeded to clean the room where there were several zombie corpses lying around. He also continued to clean his body again.

......

...

Tanaka was silent. He had just cleaned the girl's body which looked a little dirty.

However, at that moment Tanaka felt something that made him tense. The girl's body is very sexy and pale white.

Springy. Gentle. Smooth.

Tanaka, who is still a normal, healthy and productive male would obviously be interested in such criteria.

However, considering that what he had done earlier was considered an act of harassment, Tanaka stopped thinking about it. The man pondered.

'Can't you just shut up for a second, My Junior!'

Tanaka exclaimed in his mind. Tanaka was silent, trying to calm the junior Tanaka from getting up.

While trying to calm the junior, Tanaka took another look at the girl's condition.

Height is about 165 centimeters. The body is too mature for the size of a high school kid. Blond hair which is obviously rare in her country.

"Honestly I'm very interested in her body!"

A certain impulse triggered Tanaka to say that. Tanaka noticed and immediately stood up to respond to what he just said.

"Forget it, it's better to check the information on the internet now!"

Tanaka had previously tried turning on the wifi in the boarding house's room. However, as expected, the provider from the internet was no longer online.

"I need something else!"

Tanaka intends to find an alternative way to connect himself to the internet. As he looked at the sleeping girl, Tanaka thought of something.

"This girl's cell phone!"

The hikikomori man moved from his room to the next room, room number five.

Unlocked. Tanaka could easily enter the girl's room.

The phone is lying in a place that is very easy to see. Tanaka tried to just activate the hotspot, but he was so out of his mind that he entered the main page of the girl's cellphone.

The cellphone was not given a password at all.

"So, her name is Yuki Fujiwara. If I'm not mistaken, the school on the wallpaper isn't in this city,"

Tanaka reads the cellphone wallpaper. The girl's name is clearly stated, Yuki Fujiwara. Besides, it was true that Yuki Fujiwara didn't go to school in the city they lived in.

Tanaka who hijacked the girl's cellphone went to the settings section. Thinking that there would be a password there, Tanaka was surprised by the fact that the hotspot settings and other features were completely devoid of security.

"This girl actually knows about passwords or not?"

Tanaka asked without needing anyone else to answer. After all, no other being could respond to his question.

The data plan on the phone is still active. Celular pulse that somehow miraculously had a value equivalent to tens of thousands of yen wasn't obsolete at all.

Even more important is the fact that the card provider is still able to provide internet access. That was what Tanaka needed right now.

"Bravo!"

Tanaka said, a sign that he was very satisfied with what he got.

Tanaka returned to his laptop. However, before that he checked the girl's condition again.

For some reason, the girl's body slowly began to improve with just a compress and unhealthy food.

"Tomorrow I'll try to bring her instant porridge!"

Tanaka called out. He was serious because to him, instant noodles were very inappropriate to be food for a hungry girl. After all, the only food he had earlier was that. Don't know what the consequences will be in the future, Tanaka tries to mentally prepare.

However, Tanaka's focus is now on the ocean of information, the internet.

Tanaka made a connection. He went straight to his flagship browser and immediately typed in the keyword 'zombies'.

Unfortunately, search engines that serve globally do not respond.

Tanaka switched to a local search engine he knew. Luckily there are still some who respond.

Tanaka explores various websites and blogs which provide information regarding the current situation.

Zombies first appeared ten days ago. Or so Tanaka read on a blog that seemed 'trustworthy'.

Zombie attacks are not in one area. Zombies appear simultaneously in various parts of the world in very close time intervals.

At first, the military can survive the attacks of these zombies. They secured a fair amount of the city from zombie attacks by blocking roads and other paths.

However, on the third day after the arrival of the zombies, the military was overwhelmed because a certain type of zombie had attacked. They are zombies that have evolved or can be called mutants.

"Hmm, interesting,"

Tanaka tries to find out more about information related to mutants.

In short, they are very dangerous.

"No wonder the military can be overwhelmed!"

Realizing that there is a threat more terrifying than zombies, Tanaka tries to devise a strategy to survive.

It's been proven that he's undetected by zombies. However, there is no guarantee that it will also apply to mutants which are the evolution of zombies.

"I think I need a lot of preparation!"

Tanaka said as he leaned back against the chair. His hands stretched upwards.

Tanaka now has some kind of vision for survival.

"Then, I will try to survive in this new world!"

Said the hikikomori, challenging the world's situation.
