Chapter 2 – Zombie System Trial
I was still standing in front of that human girl. Her breath was ragged. Her hands trembled, still gripping that rusty golf club, ready to swing at any moment.
My body was still half-controlled by instinct. My jaw felt heavy... like it wanted to bite something. But I held it back. I focused. Took a breath—or at least tried to, even though these lungs probably weren't working anymore.
And, miraculously...The "Bite" skill was deactivated.
Yes! I managed to suppress the instinct!
But the human girl didn't know that. And then...WHACK!!
SMACK!
The golf club swung straight at my head.My head jerked backward, my body wobbled, and I collapsed onto the floor.
"Ow... that actually hurt," I grumbled, though my lips could barely move.
The girl stared at me, confused, and then... ran.Without a word. Just a look of "WHAT-THE-HECK-WAS-THAT?!" and quick steps fleeing the scene.
"...Yeah, just go already."I slowly lifted my hand. "I don't know what that was either."
After that incident, I got up and started walking through the mall again. I began to realize I needed to get stronger.
