Apocalypse: Apparently, I Can See Zombies

Chapter 68- Lies

Jin-woo soon snapped out of his shock and asked aloud in a puzzled tone.

"How does he know I have a drawstring bag?"

Jin-woo then thought of something and started glancing around. He quickly located the camera in the top right-hand corner of the room behind him. But upon seeing it he wondered why there was a camera here that let's one see inside this security room, but not the other... Discover exclusive content at empire

This thought hadn't properly formed in Jin-woo's mind when he suddenly glanced at the broken monitor on the ground, and then at the wall to the left where it was torn from.

"Bastard, stop looking around and answer me!"

Seo-joon's voice suddenly echoed out once again, and Jin-woo frowned completely irked.

"Press this red button to speak to the other security room."

Seong said softly from the side while pointing at the red button next to the radio.

Jin-woo angrily picked up the radio and smashed his fist against the button before retorting.

"I have your damn cigarettes, alright? You better be grateful that Se-that I even bother picking them up."

Jin-woo had to quickly correct himself as he almost let it slip that he could see Seong. Though he didn't care how others saw him, he remembered Seong's warning.

While Seong was giving him an indignant look, Jin-woo asked.

"Are you alone? Is Mai-sun there with you?"

"Yeah, she's here."

Hearing this response, Seong's expression changed, and he glared at Jin-woo for having almost revealed his existence to Mai-sun.

Even though there was a possibility that no one would believe in Jin-woo's ability, he was unwilling to chance it with that girl. Better be safe than sorry.

Within the second security room, when Ye-jun heard Jin-woo ask for Mai-sun, his expression visibly darkened. In contrast, Mai-sun who was next to him looked at Jin-woo on the monitor with a curious expression.

After giving Seong an apologetic look, Jin-woo held the button on the radio and asked.

"What about the others? Is Yoon-min and Micah with you? Why did you leave the gymnasium?"

In the second security room, Seo-joon and the other students visibly stiffened.

Not hearing an immediate response, Jin-woo's heart dropped. However, before he could ask if something had happened, Ye-jun grabbed the radio from Seo-joon and said.

"It's the water in the school! Be careful not to drink it."

Jin-woo hurriedly said, and the students showed surprise expressions when they heard it.

Ye-jun frowned and asked.

"Are you saying that it's the water that's turning everyone into zombies?"

"Wait if the water supply is carrying this virus, then does that mean everyone in Itaewon that has the same water connection as us is infected?"

One student asked in a panic, but Ye-jun denied his claim.

"The school has its own water supply, if it's carrying the virus that caused this then someone must have done something to it. What's the media saying outside? Is help arriving?"

Ye-jun asked again.

Jin-woo paused for a moment, then said.

"There's no help coming."

The three students who were sitting on the ground glanced at each other when they heard Jim-woo.

"What?! Then are we stuck here?! Why is there no help coming?!"

One student behind Ye-jun almost broke down in hysteria when she heard Jin-woo's words. All this time she had been holding onto the hope that help was coming to rescue them, the others too held this thought, and they similarly felt despair at their current situation.

Ye-jun ignored the commotion behind him and asked Jin-woo.

"What do you mean there's no help coming? What is the news saying? It's been nearly two hours so news of what happened here must have already spread to the world."

"Wait, I'm going to do a quick search."

"What? You're just now thinking of doing that? What have you been doing all this while then?"

Jin-woo frowned at Ye-jun's words but he didn't respond as he had already put down the radio to fish out his phone from his drawstring bag.

Thankfully there's still service in Itaewon. In the movies, they always made it a point to show that it would have been cut along with the power. However, it seems that reality was different.

Jin-woo unlocked his phone and clicked on the green browsing app before quickly typing into the search bar. Immediately after he clicked search, several news articles and videos popped up.

This didn't surprise him, if news of a virus outbreak happening in their school hadn't made headlines, then the President and Prime Minister being trapped in the middle of one would.

Jin-woo clicked on a video that showed a female anchor reporting the President and Prime Minister's situation then placed the phone near the radio.
