Outbreak

Yuki's eyes widened at the sudden crying of a baby she was holding. She was almost surprised to remember that she did not have a baby. She was about to stand up while still holding the baby but she realized that she was only sitting at the top of a high wall. She leaned against Deiji. Her roommate. Unable to stand, she just rolled her eyes.

She saw a nightmare she'd never imagined would even happen in real life. A bunch of zombies are trying to eat them. With that, a flashback came into her mind with scenarios of how they ended up in that kind of situation.

MICHELLE burst into tears when she turned on the television in their room. This is because it says 'no signal' even though it's already time for her favorite anime series.

"Maybe it's just because of the antenna." Michael tried to calm her twin sister, Michelle.

"Our television says you can't be here, Michael. It's a girls dormitory for Pete's sake. Why the hell are you always here?" Deiji teased Michelle's twin.

What they were staying in was a dormitory that was only for women but Michael always slept in their room. The boys' dormitory is located in the other building.

"Am I your favorite toy, Ate Deiji? Why am I always the one you were teasing?" Michael asked as he moved the antenna of the television for her twin sister.

Yuki just laughed as she quietly listened to the three of them while she was getting ready for work. She is a hotel keeper not far from their dorm and she is now here for the fourth month. So far, she loves the job and the place she works because the salary is high and she saves a lot. The husband does a good job and does not neglect them. She just wants to help her husband because the kids are growing up and they haven't saved for their children's future yet.

"Don't scatter my things, please." Yuki raised her hand and pretended to be begging the twin who was always tampering with her belongings whenever she was away for work.

"Michelle always wants to mess with your drawer because she says you always have chocolates hiding in your belongings." Michael even pointed his finger at her twin sister.

"You too. You're the one who bites bigger than me!" Michelle pointed back her finger to her twin brother like a kid.

"Ahhhh!" The three looked at Deiji because of his sudden squeal.

"Why?" Yuki immediately asked her.

"There's no WiFi signal. In addition, I checked the data on both my SIM cards. There's still none." Deiji complains to Yuki.

All of them looked at the TV, which was showing 'no signal'. The three of them hurried to pick up their respective phones to check the signal.

"I don't have either." Michael said, still looking at his phone as he fiddled with it.

"Me too." Yuki spoke softly to them.

The four of them looked at Michelle with a questioning expression. She slowly shook her head with a shrug. The four stepped out of their room to ask the others. Later, they suddenly heard a loud explosion from outside along with various loud shouts from different people.

People rushed out of the dorm to see and peek at what was going on outside. They all seem unaware of what is going on.

"Michelle, hold my hand." Michael said suddenly because he felt that something bad had happened.

Michelle held the twins' hand as they followed Yuki and Deiji who were now leaving the dorm.

"What's up?" Yuki asked another dorm colleague who had arrived earlier than them.

"We don't know either. All of a sudden they're running away." Madrid replied. Nanay Pasing's right hand in preparing their food.

It pointed to people who appeared to be scared, running in the other direction. They seem to be from the direction of the gate of Sitio De Villasarza.

Deiji climbed into a hollow block to clearly see what's happening.

"Ate Deiji, take care. You might fall." Michael reminded her while still holding the twin's hand.

He didn't know that the girl was living in a squatter area outside the Sitio and was used to climbing walls and trees.

From above, Deiji watched. She thought that she could see everything clearly from their room on the third floor if they weren't too curious and came down. She saw people rushing toward where they were. She stares at the backs of those people who are still running to find out what kind of thing they're running for. She even wonders how a strange looking guy is running and following a frightened woman. She tried to narrow her eyes even more so that she could see what it looked like.

She was shocked when a man jumped from the side of a woman and bit her on the neck. As the man suddenly raised his head with the skin and flesh from the woman's bitten neck, Deiji's legs began to tremble even more. She was so weak and in a hurry to get down that she almost fell. Fortunately, the twins and Yuki were able to quickly catch and support her.

"What's up?" Yuki asked her with a worried face.

"Run..." Deiji said weakly and it seemed that she was having a problem breathing. Everyone in the dorm looked at her and wondered how she was behaving.

"Run!" Deiji finally shouted and then pulled Yuki and Michelle by the hands, while Michael was still holding Michelle's other hand.

The three were surprised but they didn't object. They just followed Deiji's lead who also looked frightened. They wonder what Deiji saw back then to make Deiji nervous like she is now.

After she shouted, everyone's faces were filled with worry and wonder. While tightly holding her friends, Deiji peeked at the other colleagues in the dormitory. Even though she was still running, she paused when she saw them still standing and stared at them.

The three also stopped and looked at her and at what Deiji was looking at. They are a bit far away now. Their eyes widened simultaneously. All of a sudden there were a bunch of people who seemed to be completely crazy and not in the right mindset who rushed into their dorm mates.

"What the hell?" Michael cried out in shock and fear.

They were even more frightened by the blood that flowed from the parts bitten by insane people.
