The face that was once gentle and always showed him a loving smile, now only had a hellish hideousness that was completely distorted by flesh and desire.
Those eyes that were once always filled with warmth and concern, now only had a hollow, beast-like look, filled with an extreme desire for fresh flesh and blood.
Time seemed to be infinitely stretched and slowed down in the eyes of Mr. Tian, whose pupils shrank rapidly due to extreme tension.
He could even clearly see the unchewed blood vessel belonging to his father at the corner of his mother's mouth.
then.
"Roar--!"
An inhuman, hoarse roar filled with endless hunger suddenly burst out from the depths of his mother's throat!
Her delicate body, which should have belonged to a housewife, seemed to be injected with some violent and evil power at this moment. She suddenly turned from a kneeling position into an arrow shot from a bow, and pounced viciously at the nearby intruder who had already been frightened out of his wits!
The brain is blank.
Fear, like a huge, cold hand, tightly grasped Jieren's heart, making the blood in his body seem to completely solidify in an instant.
He wanted to run, but his legs were like they were filled with lead and he wouldn't obey him at all.
He wanted to shout, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't make any sound.
He could only watch helplessly as the hideous mouth stained with his father's blood rapidly expanded and expanded before his eyes.
Death is close at hand.
However, at the last tenth of a second, when those teeth filled with a foul smell were about to bite his throat.
The instinct for survival finally overcame the huge force that was enough to make anyone completely collapse.
Almost subconsciously, Jieren suddenly leaned back, his entire body slamming heavily into the wall behind him! The intense pain, in fact, awakened his nerves, which had been numb due to excessive fear, in an instant!
He stretched out his hands and used all his strength to hold down his mother's crazy head which kept trying to bite forward.
The power of a woman was astonishing! It was not a power that an ordinary housewife could possess! Her hands, like iron clamps, tightly grasped Jieren's shoulders, her sharp nails even piercing his clothes and embedding into his flesh.
"Mom! Mom! Wake up! It's me! I'm the one who's interfering!"
Jieren's tears flowed uncontrollably. He tried his best to hold them back, calling out in vain with a hoarse voice filled with tears.
But, it's useless.
All he got in return was the other party's even crazier, beast-like roar, and those empty, turbid eyes that no longer showed any trace of "human" emotion...
he knows.
He knew that the person in front of him was no longer his mother.
This is just a monster in his mother's skin, with only the most primitive gnawing instinct left.
A piercing pain shot through his shoulder. His flesh, which had been tightly grasped, had been torn apart.
If this continues, I will be bitten to death by her, and then become... a cold, mutilated corpse like my father.
I...I don't want to die!
This thought flashed through his brain, which was on the verge of collapse, like lightning.
His eyes, which were somewhat dazed due to despair, subconsciously glanced at the fruit knife on the kitchen sink next to him, which his mother had used to cut fruit for him not long ago.
……
"Pfft——!"
There was a dull sound of a blade piercing flesh.
The woman's frantic, forward-rushing body suddenly froze.
She slowly lowered her ferocious head and looked at her chest, which was completely pierced from the back by a sharp fruit knife, with some confusion.
Then, the last ray of "light" in her cloudy eyes, which were originally filled with madness and bloodlust, was completely extinguished.
"Boom."
She, like a puppet with its strings cut, collapsed helplessly on the intermediary's body.
Jieren, too, seemed drained of all his strength as he slowly slid down the wall to the ground. He allowed the familiar, still warm body to rest on top of him. He stared blankly at his own hands, stained with his mother's blood and still trembling slightly.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... Mom... I didn't mean it... I really... didn't mean it..."
He held the gradually cooling corpse in his arms, muttering to himself over and over again in a dreamy voice filled with endless regret and pain.
However, outside the house, the increasingly dense, repetitive, inhuman roars mercilessly pulled him back to reality from the immense grief that was about to consume him completely.
He knew that he could no longer stay here.
He used up his last bit of strength to push his mother's body away and stumbled to his feet. He didn't look back, nor did he dare to look back to see the hellish scene. He just instinctively rushed to the door of the apartment, and then, without looking back, fled.
He had no idea what was happening in this world.
But when he returned to the streets that he once knew but had now completely transformed into a living hell, he realized that everything that had happened in his home was just a microcosm of the countless tragedies that were happening simultaneously in this collapsing city.
The streets are full of "living dead" with stiff movements and crazy expressions.
Everywhere, there were crashed and burning cars.
Everywhere were corpses that had been torn beyond recognition and were mutilated.
The once peaceful and tranquil Kyoto has completely fallen.
Jieren was just aimlessly running and dodging through the streets like a zombie. His mind was blank, he didn't know where to go, let alone what else he could do.
Just when he was about to be completely swallowed up by this huge force and fear.
Suddenly, a hand reached out from the shadow of a convenience store behind him and suddenly placed it on his shoulder.
"what--!"
The man, who had already been like a frightened bird, was frightened out of his wits by this. He let out a shrill scream and almost subconsciously punched back.
"It's me! Tanaka-kun! It's me!"
A familiar female voice, with a hint of panic, sounded in time.
Jieren's fist, swung out, stopped just before the other person's nose. He looked closely and realized that the one who grabbed him was actually...
"Squad leader?!"
The person who appeared in front of him was his squad leader, Miyuki, who always wore a high ponytail and had a serious face.
However, at this moment, her face, which was always full of confidence, was only pale and pale. Her neat school uniform had long been torn to tatters during her escape, and was covered with blood and dust.
"That's great... you're still alive..." When Miyuki saw Jieren, a layer of tears welled up in her eyes, which always looked sharp.
Two people, in this purgatory filled with death and despair, met again. It felt like a century had passed.
"What...what's going on?" Miyuki's voice was filled with tears. "Everyone...everyone has gone crazy! They...they bite everyone they see..."
"I don't know..." Jieren shook his head, his eyes still full of...
"So...what should we do now?"
"Go... go to the police station!" Jieren was the first to calm down. His masculine rationality overcame his fear. "Yes! Go to the police station! There are weapons and police there! That must be the safest place!"
Miyuki also reacted immediately. Without hesitation, the two began to support each other and carefully, using the abandoned cars on both sides of the street as cover, sneaked towards the police station.
Along the way, they were lucky enough to meet two other classmates who were still stubbornly resisting: Kenta Kobayashi, who used to always complain about Chinese class, but now, armed with a baseball bat, mustered up all his courage. And Yui, the short-haired, bespectacled girl who seemed fragile but remained calm in times of crisis.
Four surviving high school students formed a temporary and fragile survival team in this city of death.
They worked together, dividing the work. Sukero, with his cool head, charted the course. Kenta, wielding his baseball bat, served as a frontline human shield. Miyuki and Yui, on the other hand, used whatever they could find—fire axes, crowbars, even broken bottles—to craft improvised weapons and attack isolated zombies.
Along the way, they endured countless hardships and witnessed countless tragedies. They saw with their own eyes a baby being devoured alive by its zombie-like mother. They also saw with their own eyes a loving couple, in their final moments surrounded by zombies, embrace each other and leap from a tall building.
Death and despair are always there.
But the instinct of survival still supports them, moving forward step by step.
Finally, after paying the price of Kenta's arm being bitten by a zombie and Yui's glasses being broken, the four of them stumbled and escaped into the solemn-looking gate of the Kyoto Central Police Station.
However, when they thought they finally saw hope and could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
What greeted their eyes was a scene even more terrifying and despairing than the one on the street outside.
The entire police station hall was littered with corpses.
Everywhere were the mutilated bodies of men in police uniforms. The walls were covered in massive scratches, deep enough to reveal the bone, as if slashed by the claws of a giant beast. The air was filled with a pungent smell of blood, a hundred times stronger than outside.
This place has long been thoroughly slaughtered by unknown entities.
Just when a few people were about to turn around and escape from this hell on earth.
"Boom--!"
Suddenly, several dull noises, like heavy objects falling to the ground, came from the second floor above their heads!
Immediately afterwards, before they could react.
Several enormous, bronze-colored, explosively muscular humanoid monsters, unlike anything they had ever seen before, leaped directly from the second-floor railing and landed heavily in front of them!
They are the special infected entities that failed to mutate, somewhere between orcs and zombies, more violent and bloodthirsty!
Two of them landed precisely on Kenta and Yui before they had time to dodge.
There were no screams.
There were only two dull "pop" sounds, like a ripe watermelon being smashed by a sledgehammer.
Those two young lives, who were alive and full of fantasies about the future not long ago, were directly crushed into a pool of unrecognizable... blurred flesh and blood by the terrifying weight and force under the horrified gaze of Jieren and Miyuki.
Just when Jieren and Miyuki thought they were about to follow in the footsteps of their companions and be completely torn to pieces by these demons that fell from the sky.
Suddenly.
A deafening roar of an airplane, louder than any previous explosion, ripped through the sky and whizzed past their heads!
Followed by.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Several huge black meteorite-like objects directly smashed through the ceiling of the police station, dragging long, scorching flames as they slammed heavily onto the open space between them and the monsters!
The huge impact force raised a cloud of dust that obscured the view!
And in that cloud of smoke.
Several huge, dark red steel figures, full of holiness and majesty, slowly stood up from the broken airdrop pods.
They were like heavenly soldiers and generals from a myth, quietly standing in front of Jieren and Miyuki who had already been frightened silly.
Then, the leading "Mingguang" warrior slowly raised the sci-fi-looking "Zhulong" rifle in his hand.
"Om-"
Several dark blue, silent beams of light, yet full of destructive power, flashed by.
Those "mutated orcs" who had been so arrogant and domineering just now didn't even have time to roar before their heads were pierced by invisible blades and instantly exploded into a ball of blood mist.
