Untouched by the Outbreak

Chapter 9 - 9: The Unexpected Revelation

Ryo stood in his small apartment, his mind racing as he tried to piece together a plan. The immediate task was clear: find a suitable weapon and protective clothing to defend against potential zombie bites. From the information he had gathered online, he knew that a single bite could turn a person into a zombie within ten to thirty minutes, depending on their antibodies.

He couldn't afford to take any chances.

Ryo rifled through his belongings,

What had just happened? Why hadn't the zombies attacked him? The questions swirled in his mind, but he had no immediate answers. He knew he couldn't stay out in the open any longer. Limping slightly, he made his way back to his apartment, his mind reeling from the strange encounter.

Back in the safety of his apartment, Ryo sank onto the couch, his thoughts a whirlwind of confusion and fear. He replayed the scene over and over in his mind, trying to make sense of it. The zombies had ignored him, passed by him as if he were invisible. It didn't make any sense.

He needed answers, and he needed them soon. For now, he knew one thing for certain: he was different. Somehow, he was immune to the zombies' attacks. It was a small glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak situation, and he clung to it with all his might.

As the reality of his newfound immunity began to sink in, Ryo knew he had to use it to his advantage. He needed to gather supplies and information, and he needed to do it quickly. The world outside was dangerous, but he had a chance—a chance to survive, to find answers, and maybe even to help others.

With renewed determination, Ryo began to plan his next move. The journey ahead would be perilous, but he was ready to face it. The world had changed, but so had he. And as he prepared to step out into the unknown once more, Ryo knew he was ready to confront whatever lay ahead, driven by a newfound sense of purpose and the mystery of his own immunity.
