Apocalypse: Apparently, I Can See Zombies

Chapter 108- A Calling

After Ye-jun entered the cafeteria, he didn't draw much attention. However, when he made a beeline for the door and unlocked the bolt with a loud bang, everyone turned to look at him.

"Ye-jun, what are you doing?"

Mr. Kim and the other teachers were the first to react, rushing to the door.

However, Ye-jun didn't stop his actions and instead shouted.

"The rescue team is at the school gate!"

After that, he unceremoniously swung open the double metal doors and stepped through.

Everyone in the cafeteria momentarily sat there stunned in silence, but a second later they all erupted with either shock or excitement. Seeing Ye-jun step outside, they hurriedly got up and rushed to follow him.

The warnings from Mr. Kim and the other teachers were ignored. All this time they had been on edge, but finally seeing hope they couldn't help but have such a strong reaction.

Ye-jun made it to the school entrance with all the students following him. Questions were thrown at him such as, 'how he knew the rescue team arrived,' but he acted like he didn't hear a thing.

Grabbing the main support metal pole blocking the entrance, Ye-jun began removing the barricade.

"Wait, wait! What is going on?!"

Mr. Kim could no longer stand by and watch as Ye-jun acted crazy, removing the barricade. The solar panel energy could run out at any moment, and if he were to dismantle the barricade but the rescue team wasn't outside, then nothing could stop those trapped zombies from rushing in here and killing everyone.

However, just as Mr. Kim stepped forward and grabbed Ye-jun's hand to stop him, a boy suddenly cried out for everyone to hear.

"I see soldiers coming into the school!"

The two high school buildings were built with plain one-way glass windows at the front. Though zombies could not see inside the building from outside, just to be safe Jin-woo had suggested blocking the ground floor's floor-to-ceiling windows with wet textbook pages from the library.

The shout came from a boy who had peeled back one of those pages to look outside. After his shout, everyone rushed to do the same, and one by one they began shouting in excitement as they indeed saw four people with guns coming from the school gates.

One of the four men who was wearing regular clothes looked completely different from the other three behind him who were in full swat gear. However, he seemed to be the leader as he was at the front.

Now not just Ye-jun, other students began removing the barricade.

Mr. Kim and the other teachers still had questions for Ye-jun but for now, they helped in removing the barricade.

"Quick! We need to hurry; they don't know we're here!"

One girl at the window said when she saw the four men hesitating on where to go after stopping near the football pitch.

In an instant, the students all became frantic and started dismantling the barricade even faster. In only a few seconds, Ye-jun was pushing away the double metal doors and stepping outside.

The other students rushed outside—the four men who were hesitating, saw them and quickly rushed over.

"We're saved!"

One boy yelled, and the others followed suit, some even had tears running down their cheeks.

Jeon-sok in the crowd was also excited but as he looked around the crowd for Jin-woo, he realized he wasn't with them. His face changed, and he began to panic.

Some people didn't believe Ye-jun's words, Jeon-sok being the main one.

"Bastard! What nonsense are you spouting? I knew you would try something sooner or later. Everyone don't listen to him! Jin is still in the showers and I'm going to go get him!"

After saying that Jeon-sok turned to rush to the cafeteria, but Ye-jun calmly took something out of his pocket and said.

"I'm telling the truth, here's his phone as proof."

Jeon-sok paused and instinctively looked down at the phone in Ye-jun's hand, and his expression couldn't help but stiffen when he saw it.

....

Jin-woo kicked the door open and it fell with a loud bang. In nothing but a towel, he tossed the door hinges away and rushed to the cafeteria.

"It's my mistake, I should have thought about the hinges earlier!"

Seong said as he ran next to Jin-woo.

In only a moment, Jin-woo reached the hallway leading to the cafeteria's double doors. However, he suddenly stopped.

Seong stopped with him and said.

"Jin, what is it? We have to hurry to get that bastard."

"It feels like... something is calling me."

Jin-woo frowned before he turned and headed down the hallway leading to the back of the school.

"You mean like when you were searching for Seo-joon bag in class?"

Jin-woo nodded but then realized.

"It's the journal!"

Jin-woo's eyes lit up, and his steps quickened.

"That bastard must have thrown your bag away."

Seong said, but his expression suddenly changed before he looked at Jin-woo and gravely asked.

"Wait, Jin, what if he read my journal?"

Jin-woo's expression also changed to one of solemnity. He had completely forgotten about Seong's journal.

Forget about the gun or his phone, Seong's journal that detailed his ability was far more important.

Jin-woo's footsteps quicken even more.

A/N: I plan on rewriting this book. The rewritten version should be up in a while, but there will be no major changes to the plot. Still, perhaps give it some love if you can.
