-Bang!

-Bang!

-Bang!

My eyes opened as I gained consciousness slowly and I found myself a bit better than before. Though it wasn't as great as a healthy body, it was much better than when I was in bed.

'Are my symptoms getting better?' I thought, as I felt more comfortable than before. Though there was a backache and when I tried to move my head, my neck was hurting too.

-Bang!

-Bang!

-Bang!

I heard the loud banging that completely woke me as a sudden thought creeped in my mind when I realized that… the noise of banging was coming from the door right beside me.

-Bang!

-Bang!

-Bang!

I gulped silently as I looked around the kitchen for the knife before looking at the System's screen.

[Emergency Quest:

Survive the Zombie Horde for the next 1 hour

Total Numbers of Zombies remaining:12

Zombies have broken into your house.

Zombies will break into your kitchen in 12 minutes.

Reward: Unlock the System's Basic Features]

My eyes widened as I realized how long I had been knocked out for. Then when I looked at the time, I saw I still had some time before they broke into the kitchen…

-Bang!

-Bang!

-Bang!

I tried moving away from the door but

[Zombie will break into your kitchen in 30 seconds]

My heart almost stopped beating for a second before I instinctively pulled my body against the door again. This time I pushed against the door as hard as I could and the result was…

[Zombies will break into your kitchen in 34 minutes]

The time fluctuated depending upon how much strength I was applying at the door but honestly, I don't think I can keep holding the door for more than 10 minutes. I looked around the kitchen to find something which I can use but, if I move even a little, the time decreases by a lot at once.

-Bang!

-Bang!

-Bang!

I kept holding as hard as I could but I could feel my death getting closer and closer to me as time was passing. At this moment… during these final moments… I wondered about everything that I have done in my entire life.

I became a medical student and almost became a doctor before that incident happened. Because I was so busy with my studies, I didn't have time for anything else. I couldn't even give time to my family and friends slowly ending whatever the connections I had with them.

It wasn't like I wasn't proposed to but the stupid me thought it would be better to focus on career first before focusing on romance. Sacrifice today for a better tomorrow.

'Better tomorrow my as*, it couldn't get any worse than this. If I had known something like that were to happen, I would have b*nged every second or third chick whom I knew… damn!' I cursed at my fate as I wondered all the things I could have done, if I hadn't been so strict with my studies.

Even if I not include this stupid Apocalypse shit, it wasn't like my thoughts were going to change. The moment that b*stard gave me that injection, my life was sure to go downhill.

'Man! Why am I even trying so hard? Wouldn't it be better for me to just yeet myself?' I thought as I chuckled lightly slowly slipping to the floor, my body still pressed against the door.

'Well.. if I am going to be eaten by a zombie… Please let it be a hot chick or something! That should at least ease my virgin pain maybe… I was eaten by a girl, sounds better than I was eaten by an uncle or something…' I kept passing the time thinking about stupid stuff.

The knife was on the other side of the kitchen. Even if I leave the door, I don't know if my body would be able to make it to the other side. So, I thought it would be better to wait till the end and try it then.

-Bang!

-Bang!

-Bang!

With every bang, it felt like my soul would just leave my body. My mouth was dry, and I felt so thirsty that I could drink an entire gallon of water at once. It was tiring, both mentally and physically and at this point I just wanted it all to be over…

[Survive the Zombies Horde for the next 36 minutes

Zombies will break into your kitchen in 2 minutes]

I kept looking at the System as time kept ticking down slowly and before I knew it…

[Zombies will break into your kitchen in 20 seconds]

My heartbeat rose to its peak and I was sweating profusely. I could see my body shaking and my eyes were alternating between the system and the knife and as soon as I saw the time turning to 1 digit…

I crawled towards the knife on all fours before

-BANG!!!

-BANG!!!

-RAWRRRR!!!!

I heard an ugly voice behind me but maybe because of the panic and fear; I had already reached the knife as I took it out and turned around to the source of the ugly voice.

My eyes turned solemn a little as I saw the zombie in front of me and my heart ached… I had kind of hoped that the zombie… wouldn't be someone I knew… but… I guess it was too much to ask for.

It was our neighbor… I looked at the black hair and that red T-shirt he used to wear before going to work. Guy had a really nice personality with a sad backstory… wife dead and an 8 year old child to take care of.

I noticed that he was alone and there were no more zombies behind him. My eyes questioned that as I looked at the System once again.

[Total number of Zombies Remaining: 12]

Nope, the number did not change. Hmmmm… exactly what number am I dealing with here?

I wanted to analyze more, but it didn't seem like my neighbor liked me ignoring him.

-RAWR!!

He came closer to me with all the love he had and I kind of dashed to the side, dodging him before scrambling outside the kitchen with hurried steps. If the zombies are scattered all around the house… maybe I can survive for real…
