Bab 74: Chapter 74: Homecoming

Before Ryo arrived back at his home, an unsettling trend caught his attention. The number of zombies roaming the area near his base had increased significantly. While the presence of more undead creatures was disconcerting, it also brought a sense of relief. Ryo understood that the higher concentration of zombies served as an inadvertent layer of protection for his base. Their mindless shuffling forms provided an early warning system against potential intruders, be they human or otherwise.

The zombies, drawn to the area by the scent of flesh or the noise of movement, created a buffer zone around his home. Their presence meant that any hostile survivors or dangerous creatures would have to navigate a gauntlet of undead before reaching his perimeter. It was an unintended consequence of the apocalypse—a morbid yet effective security measure.
