Chapter 282: Not Time to Die Yet
Until two days ago when he ran out of water completely. Since he had only been taking sips of water and not really drinking to his body’s satisfaction, he was dehydrated before the day ended.
When he realized that he would not be able to survive, he had sat on his favorite chair and decided to leave this world on it.
Some people would get confused as to why he would get dehydrated when it was raining heavily. Why didn’t he just drink the rain water?
He had thought of this as a solution before, but seeing as how people had turned into zombies without warning, he couldn’t be careless. Thus, he took some rain water and fed it to his only companion in that building, a rat.
He didn’t even know where the rat had come from. It appeared there one day when the water started to flood the building. He assumed that its home had been flooded as well, which was why it moved there.
He had given the rat the rain water for two days when he realized that its eyes had started to turn red. He feared for the worst so he had locked it in a small cage that had been lying in the laboratory before.
As expected, the rat had turned into a zombie rat the next day. That was when he realized that whatever virus had turned people into zombies was also present in the rain.
Maybe not in such a heavy dose since it took a couple of days for the rat to turn into a zombie when in the beginning people turned into zombies a few hours after exposure. However, the virus was there and he could not risk turning into a zombie because he was too thirsty and drank contaminated water.
As such, he had ended up dehydrated almost to death because of lack of clean drinking water. Now, seeing so many people around him, his first thought was that he had died and crossed to the other side.
It looked like even in the underworld there were law keepers. But he didn’t think he had done anything to warrant so many law enforcers surrounding him with weapons. Could dying of starvation be considered a crime here? Otherwise, why were they here for him as soon as he arrived?
