Apocalypse: Apparently, I Can See Zombies

Chapter 62- Phone Call

Jin-woo looked over at the three students and nodded. He didn't ask what had happened and simply moved towards the monitors. Closely observing them as they switch between the various cameras, he soon located the ones on the fourth floor.

However, a chill went down Jin-woo's spine. Throughout all the halls on the fourth floor, there was not a single one where there wasn't a horde of zombies. It was to the point that the stairs leading down to the third floor were clogged full of them.

Jin-woo swallowed hard, he couldn't imagine how foolish he was for thinking it was a good idea to head to the fourth floor.

The cameras here only show the east wing. But Jin-woo soon saw one monitor that showed the situation on the bridge on the fourth floor that connected the east wing and the west wing. There were zombies there as well; they were walking back and forth.

This signaled to Jin-woo that the situation on the west wing was no different than the east. He was then about to look away from the monitor, but he suddenly realized something that caused his pupils to contract.

The zombies that were walking back and forth on the bridge weren't bumping into each other, there was almost a sort of order to their actions as they moved back and forth.

Jin-woo glanced at Seong next to him before looking back at the monitor. Seong, seeing his look, focused on where he was looking and quickly found the monitor showing the bridge. As he observed the scene, his face changed, and he also reacted with shock. However, he suddenly remembered something and turn to Jin-woo to ask.

"Did you notice how those zombies acted back at the tennis court when they fell outside of the window? It was like two different hordes of animals fighting over food."

Jin-woo's expression was serious, and he couldn't help but say under his breath.

"This means they have a bit of intelligence, at the very least on an instinctual level."

The boy and the two girls glanced over at Jin-woo upon hearing his mutter. One of the girls whispered.

"Doesn't he look familiar? He looks like that person from Class 1A they call a freak."

The boy hearing this had his expression change before he hurriedly turned to the girl and said.

"That's him but be quiet before he hears you. Can't you see he has a gun?"

Seong called out from next to Jin-woo as he pointed at a switch near the buttons that control the monitor showing the classroom.

"This PA system is quite advanced; it can isolate your voice so only the speakers shown within this monitor can project it. You press this red button to isolate your voice to the speakers, and then hold onto the button on the radio to speak."

Jin-woo recalled that Seong was a part of their middle school's Student Council and was familiar with PA systems since they had to make announcements. He nodded at Seong's explanation but pointed at the knob next to the red button and asked.

"Is this the volume?"

"Yeah, it is."

Thinking for a moment, Jin-woo decided on what to do. He had to wait until there were no zombies along the hallway of the classroom before speaking to the students. The girl on the third floor's case was a bit trickier, as he would need to lure the zombies away first.

After formulating his plan, Jin-woo found the monitors showing the hallway in front of the classroom thanks to Seong's help.

Jin-woo couldn't help but wonder if Seong was using his photographic memory since he wasn't looking at the map next to them on the wall.

Putting aside whether a ghost had a photographic memory, Jin-woo then began to observe the monitors to wait for the opportune moment to talk to the students and teachers in the classroom, a part of him desperately wanted to tell them that help was on the way.

Perhaps it was his futile attempt to make up for partially causing all of this.

However, Jin-woo's attention was grabbed by the faint vibrations coming from his drawstring bag. Quickly taking it off, Jin-woo fished out his phone from inside and looked at it to see that it was a call from his mom, or rather Madelyn.

"Hello, Aunt Madelyn?"

Jin-woo said after answering the phone.

"Jin-woo, something has gone wrong, I can't talk for long, so you need to listen to me carefully."
