Apocalypse: Apparently, I Can See Zombies

"…and with that, I can trap them."

After Jin-woo explained his plan silence came over the two groups he was talking to. The male teacher was the first one to speak up on the phone.

"Kid, are you sure about this? If something goes wrong, you can get swallowed up by the horde of zombies."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"It's fine, even if I can't trap them, I can outrun them. The only issue is drawing them from the two wings and gathering them together."

The focus shifted to Ye-jun's group after Jin-woo said this.

"If it's just gathering the zombies from the west wing, then most of them are already at the front of the school. As for the remaining ones inside, we can turn on the speakers at the front entrance to draw them out."

Ye-jun said after a moment.

"The goal isn't to trap all of them, but a majority of them so it's safer for everyone to gather at the east wing's cafeteria."

"The food storage in there was restocked for the start of the new school year, so there should be plenty of food there to last us until help arrives."

The voice of a female teacher came from the phone. At this point, everyone in the classroom had gathered around the male teacher's phone. When they heard that they could survive this place they couldn't help but get somewhat excited. The students of Class 1A also wore excited expressions.

However, they quickly realize this plan came at the risk of Jin-woo's life. Plus, the plan wasn't even foolproof!

This had nothing to do with Jin-woo's abilities but rather the unpredictability of the zombies.

"After I contact the girl on the fourth floor, we'll start the plan."

"Okay."

"Sure."

The male teacher and Ye-jun both answered before Jin-woo hung up the phone and disconnected the radio. He then focused on the monitor that showed the Broadcasting Club room.

"These monitors are furthest away from the room."

Seong didn't hesitate to point out, and Jin-woo chose one of the monitors before pressing the red button for it. He once again played the instrumental song against the radio.

On the monitor showing the Broadcasting Club room, the zombies moving around frantically in the room suddenly stopped simultaneously and cocked their heads up.

Jin-woo and Seong both felt a chill go down their spines when they saw this bizarre scene. But just when they were speculating whether this simultaneous action was coincidental, their faces changed when they saw what happened next.

A few zombies directly charged towards the door followed by the rest. They all left the room almost in an orderly manner without shoving and pushing each other.

Only when they reached a wider space in the hallway did they seem to return to acting like mindless animals, running towards the sound coming from the speakers while shoving and pushing each other.

Jin-woo and Seong silently gave each other a look. As much as this scene unnerved them, this confirmed that the plan had a higher chance of success.

Jin-woo waited until the zombies were far away from the club room before pausing the instrumental song. Pressing the button to the Broadcasting room, Jin-woo spoke as calmly as he could.

"If you can hear me, then hurry up and close the door. The zombies all left."

On the monitor, the girl was looking through the plain window from the sound booth as if she was surprised by the sudden departure of the zombies. Jin-woo wasn't sure if the girl could hear him from within the booth at first, but when he saw her glance at the speakers he sighed in relief.

Jin-woo also thought that the girl would hesitate to do as he said, and was prepared to speak again to convince her, but to his surprise, the girl suddenly jumped up from the ground and rushed out of the sound booth. She carefully skipped over the bloody zombies on the ground as well as the scattered desks and chairs before reaching the door.

Without any hesitation, she slid it shut, but she even went one step further and closed the large plain windows of the room before drawing the black curtains over them.

After doing all of that the girl seemed to sigh in relief. She then turned to the camera and spoke before bowing slightly.

Jin-woo didn't know what she said, but from that bow, he could guess she was thanking him.

"She's really smart and decisive, she immediately figured out our plan when she heard your voice and quickly acted."

Jin-woo came too and nodded to Seong's words. He had not expected the girl to have this type of personality, what if he had bad intentions? She would have died. But then again in her situation, it would be weird for someone in the security room to intentionally harm her.

Jin-woo couldn't help but wonder if it would be like the movies where people like that would appear. Perhaps it's just that the virus was still in the early stages of spreading, and the limits of human kindness haven't been reached.

Jin-woo didn't let his thoughts run wild, and he immediately said into the radio.

"There's a plan to draw the zombies out of the school and trap them in the gymnasium and auditorium, but we need your help."

Without Jin-woo even having to explain further the girl seemed to perk up. She nodded vigorously and then rushed towards the sound booth. After checking the equipment inside, she hurried back outside with a marker in hand. She then picked up a whiteboard that had fallen over before writing something on it.

Jin-woo's eyes focused on what she wrote.

"The PA system is operational; I can play a high-pitch static sound for the speakers inside the gym and auditorium. How are we going to coordinate?" Discover hidden stories at empire

Upon reading what the girl wrote, Jin-woo sucked in a breath of air. Seong next to him who also wore a stumped expression suddenly forced a smile and suggested.

"Perhaps she's into zombie movies?"

Jin-woo forced a smile and spoke into the radio.

"Do you have a phone?"

Jin-woo let go of the button on the radio and sat back to watch what the girl would do. This wasn't the time, but he wanted to see how intuitive this girl was.

Sure enough, the girl without needing any further explanation from him wiped away the words on the whiteboard and then wrote down a number.

Jin-woo quickly saved the number into his contacts, before ringing it. The call went through on the first ring.

"Hello? I want to say thank you once again."

Jin-woo immediately heard a sweet voice from the other end of the phone that tickled his ears.
