Chapter 3: Ep 3 - Bite of the day
The moaning grew louder. Guttural. Wet. The kind of sound that no human should ever make.
Kanata Yukimura stood at the rooftop's edge, his body trembling not from fear—but from exhaustion. Blood soaked his shirt, sticky and hot under the sun. His side throbbed from a gash, but he didn't stop moving.
Across the roof, the flood had started.
Dozens—no, hundreds—of students and teachers who used to smile, flirt, lecture... now lumbered forward with blank eyes, broken limbs, and open jaws.
"Shit," Kanata muttered, gripping the aluminum baseball bat tighter.
Behind him, Kanami Tsukino gasped as she helped steady Godou-sensei, the voluptuous MILF homeroom teacher who had barely survived a disgusting zombie assault earlier.
"We can't hold this rooftop!" Kanami cried, her voice cracking. "Kanata, what do we do?!"
Kanata glanced to his side. Takiya Shino, his senior from the kendo club, was still calm, her eyes sharp and fearless despite the gore-stained blade in her hands.
"We fall back," Kanata snapped. "Takiya-senpai, take Kanami and Godou-sensei back down. Try to barricade on the second floor!"
Takiya nodded once. "Understood."
Kanami hesitated. "W-What about you?"
