บท 12: The Game Starts, Zombies Entered The School!
Opening her eyes, Shiro Ayame found herself in a classroom filled with high school students. There were forty high school students inside the classroom including Shiro Ayame.
Ayame ignored the lectures of the teacher and she focused her attention on the game screen in front of her.
[Welcome, Shiro Ayame, to the Zombie Survival Game developed by Aspro!]
[The first wave of the zombie virus will be released in 30 seconds.]
[Do your best to survive and become one of the top 3 survivors. You can receive unimaginable rewards that can be brought to the real world if you win this game. But if you die in this game world, you will also die in the real world.]
[If you want to check your status, just think of summoning the player status. In the player status, it will also show the remaining survivors in this game.]
[If the zombie virus enters your body and you mutate into a zombie, you will directly be eliminated from the game.]
[Furthermore, killing other players is allowed in the game but raping and sexual harassment isn't allowed. This rule applies to both the players and the NPCs. Anyone who breaks this rule will instantly be disqualified and disqualification will result in death!]
[For the sake of fairness, players and NPCs cannot be distinguished from each other unless a player reveals their identity as a player. All players' memories of other players' appearance have already been erased except for those players who formed an alliance with each other.]
[May all the players survive and play to all your hearts' content! You can only live once so go out with a bang!]
[In Aspro's Will!]
[Good luck!]
[The first wave of the zombie virus has already been released!]
After reading those game screen announcements, Shiro Ayame discovered that she could indeed not remember any of the appearances of the players she encountered in the Game Lobby.
Ayame didn't form any alliance with other players so she couldn't remember even one player's appearance.
'To think that the developer of this game is this powerful. He could even program a game that could not only kidnap us players but even affect our memories.'
Ayame gazed out of the classroom window as she was in awe of the game's capabilities.
Even when the game had announced that the first wave of zombie virus was released, Ayame didn't panic.
'Although I'm confident of my martial arts skills, it still is better to get a metal bat from the baseball club in this school. Fortunately, the game had not only given me the identity of a high school student but also included information regarding the school and everything related to my identity.'
'It's still uncertain whether there are players in the same classroom as me. However, there isn't that much advantage in keeping my identity as a player a secret. Even if I expose my identity as a player, it's still more important to acquire weapons against those zombies.'
After making that decision, Shiro Ayame stood up from her seat and walked out of the classroom.
"Shiro, get back to your seat! The class hasn't ended yet!"
Ayame ignored the teacher's command and proceeded to leave the classroom.
When those high school students saw Ayame's action, two of the high school students stood up from their seats as well and left the classroom while the rest of the students remained in their classroom.
"You two! The class hasn't ended yet! Get back to your seats!"
Like Ayame, those two students ignored the teacher and proceeded to leave the classroom.
***
In the hallway, Ayame saw the other two students who left the classroom.
'Those two must be players as well. Only players who knew that the zombie virus had been released would leave the classroom while NPCs would remain in the classroom.'
'Unless… those two are NPCs who want to go to the bathroom but the chances of that are very low since they left the classroom after I left. It's too coincidental so they might also have the same idea as me which is to find a weapon.'
'They must have already guessed my identity as well as intentions and since they didn't want to be left behind and have no weapons left, they also took the initiative of leaving the classroom regardless of exposing their identity as a player.'
When that analysis came to her mind, Ayame gazed at the other two students and the two students gazed back at her.
The other two students nodded at Ayame and Ayame returned with a nod. Afterward, they parted ways and didn't want to interfere with each other's actions.
From that alone, Ayame and those two students had already guessed and confirmed each other's identities as players. But none of them wanted to form an alliance so they went their separate ways.
All players who obtained an identity in this game world also received information regarding their respective identities. So there wasn't any case where a player became a high school student yet didn't even know the layout of the school premises.
While running in the school hallway, something caught Ayame's attention as she headed towards the windows of the school hallway.
Peeking through the window, she saw that the school gate was open.
A pale-looking civilian was limping towards the school, entering the school by passing through the school gate.
When the security guard was about to stop that civilian, that civilian immediately wrestled the security guard and bit his arm, causing the security guard to scream!
Several seconds after, the security guard no longer screamed and stood up. The civilian no longer wrestled the security guard and let go of him.
The civilian was limping towards the school but this time, the security guard did the same. After being bitten, the security guard seemed to have lost his sentience.
When Ayame saw all of that transpire, she muttered, "The zombies have already entered school premises so I have to hurry and find a weapon as well as loot for food."
บท 13: Obtaining Weapon And Medicine In The School Building
When Ayame discovered that zombies had entered the school, she knew it was urgent to grab a weapon and leave the school. The school lacked non-perishable food and to survive in this world, Ayame knew that it was paramount to obtain weapons and food first before securing or building a base.
While Ayame passed by classroom after classroom in the school hallway, she had already stolen a school backpack from one of those classrooms. She wasn't caught due to those students being out of the classroom, likely from attending gym class.
Afterward, she headed to the baseball club room to steal a metal baseball bat.
Fortunately, she was fast enough that there weren't any other players in the baseball club room.
"Although I prefer fighting without any weapons since my martial arts are at a high level, it still doesn't hurt to have a backup weapon in case I fight against hoards of zombies. If possible, I should search for a police station to steal their guns but that's unrealistic considering some players might have already obtained the identity of a policeman and those NPCs are no different from real humans."
"And even if I obtain a gun, my marksmanship isn't as good as my martial arts. Sigh, if only brother was here. Brother's physical abilities are trash but he is still a capable marksman."
Lamenting at how only she was forced to participate in the death game but not with her brother, Ayame shook her head and didn't think too much about it.
After all, what's done was done.
There were only ten billion humans in Blue Star yet out of those ten billion, she was one of the chosen one thousand players brought into this realistic death game.
In Blue Star, there were only five major powerhouses. They were none other than the Phoenix Empire, Freedom Eagle Federation, Sakura Shogunate, European World Alliance, and the Dragon Empire.
The one thousand players were randomly chosen from the entire Blue Star and each of those five major powerhouses would have 200 players forced to participate in the death game.
In other words, Shiro Ayame who came from the Phoenix Kingdom was one of the two hundred players who were forced to participate in the Death Game. The chances of being picked were so low yet it just so happened she was one of two hundred lucky or unlucky ones.
Whether it was good luck or bad luck, Ayame could only determine until the end of the game. If she lost, then it was her bad luck but if she won, then it was her good luck.
Ayame wasn't that confident she could win and become the top three survivors but she decided to at least try her best.
After securing her weapon, Ayame headed to the school infirmary where medicines were stored there.
'Not only is food needed, medicines are valuable as well. Although they couldn't be used to cure the zombie virus, it is still useful for fevers and other illnesses.'
'Since this is a game, there should be some NPCs who need medicine and those NPCs might have useful items which I would need later on. Money is no longer useful in the zombie apocalypse and it's only reduced to useless paper. Then, of course, the world will return to bartering.'
'Whatever the reason is, anyone knows that food, medicine, and weapons are essential in the apocalypse. And with how dangerous the zombie waves are, establishing a permanent base is difficult to achieve.'
'Any buildings on the surface can be infiltrated by those waves of zombies and the only safe base is an underground base. But even underground bases suffer from insufficient food so even if I find one, I still have to acquire food from the surface.'
'I don't know how advanced in technology this world is but I shouldn't pull the cart before the horse. Focus more on completing the goals of the present and only plan for the future after I obtain the necessary items. I'll obtain the three essentials first before finding or establishing a base.'
Having that thought in mind, Ayame ran inside the school building until she arrived at the school infirmary.
She was lucky that the zombies hadn't infiltrated the school building yet so she hurriedly stashed some of the medicines in the school infirmary inside her backpack.
But when Ayame was about to leave the school infirmary, a male high school student blocked the door and gazed at her with lustful eyes.
"Tsk! If not for the game rules, I would love to bang a beauty like you. I thought I could enjoy this lawless zombie apocalypse world to my heart's content without the shackles of the real world's laws. But since I can't due to the rules imposed upon this game world, then hand over the metal bat as well as the medicines you stole!"
"If you don't, I will kill you! The rules don't prevent us from killing each other and as a player, you don't want to die, right?"
"A girl like you can't defeat a man like me. So hand over all your valuable belongings and I won't kill you."
The male high school student, whose real name was Tawagoto Sukamu, threatened to kill Ayame if she didn't comply with his demands.
Tawagoto Sukamu was speaking the sakura language but Ayame could understand it.
In the game lobby, the game had already asked the players to choose the language of their preference and Ayame had chosen the phoenix language. So even if other players spoke foreign languages, it would be automatically translated by the game to their preferred language.
Of course, even without the game's translations, Ayame could still understand and speak the sakura language since she and her brother came from both sakura and phoenix descent.
When Ayame heard Tawagoto Sukamu's threat, she didn't want to waste any time especially with the zombies already entering the school buildings. So, she responded to Sukamu's threat by throwing her metal bat at him.
Sukamu was taken aback by Ayame's decisive attack and he didn't expect her to retaliate. However, he was still fast enough to dodge the metal bat.
But when he dodged the metal bat, Ayame had already arrived in front of him and punched his neck, causing Sukamu to pass out.
Picking up the metal bat that she had thrown earlier, Ayame knew that killing Sukamu would waste her time to escape from this school so she no longer cared about him and immediately headed to the first floor of the school building.
However, when she arrived at the school staircase, a zombie pounced towards her and wrestled her!
