Chapter 48- The Call Went Through
A piercing screech echoed off the bathroom walls before a loud thud echoed out. That loud thud was Jin-woo falling onto his back after having a zombie suddenly charge at him. He had made it here only ever encountering zombies locked in classrooms. So, he should have been on high alert after entering the bathroom, but he had been completely careless.

Jin-woo didn't have time to wonder why his 'spider senses' didn't kick in to warn him of the danger, the zombie's teeth were making an ominous sound as they snapped together in front of his face.
Being so close up, Jin-woo was forced to get a good look at the zombie's face, and he recognized this male student, he was someone from his class. If Jin-woo remembered correctly, he was the youth he had mistakenly thought had called out to him this morning.
With a complicated emotion rising in his heart, Jin-woo suddenly shifted his entire upper body to the right while moving his hands fending off the zombie to the left. Then in another quick maneuver, he grabbed the back of the zombie's neck and forcefully slammed its face into the ground.
Now on top of the zombie's back having successfully restrained it, Jin-woo hesitated, that complex feeling stirring inside of him growing stronger.
After a long while, Jin-woo released a stifled breath.
"I can't do it."
Jin-woo kept the zombie pinned down as he slowly removed the tie from around its neck. It wasn't difficult for him to tie the zombie's hands behind its back. After that was done, he dragged it into the first stall and left it on its back snarling and struggling.
This should restrain it until he left.
After picking up the now uncased gun, Jin-woo placed it on one of the sinks before quickly moving towards the last stall to retrieve his drawstring bag. However, on his way there he suddenly spotted something through the ajar door of the second to last stall.
Jin-woo stopped in his tracks and then turned and approached the stall door. Upon pushing it open slightly, the sight before him came into a full picture. It was that of a male student, seated on the ground while motionlessly leaning against the toilet.
This male student was also from Class 1A. Jin-woo recognized him as the chubby youth who the first youth had called out to this morning. He and the youth were friends.
One particular detail that Jin-woo immediately noticed about this chubby youth's appearance, was the black lines on his face and hands. But, upon further examination of the body from a distance, he also realized there were no bite marks visible as well.
Jin-woo's heart quivered.
What did this mean?
The virus wasn't transmitted through the zombies' bite... but something else.
Jin-woo stared at these droplets of water for a long while before he walked over to the tissue dispenser and grabbed a few rolls to wipe away the soap and droplets of water on his hands.
After doing this, Jin-woo then approached the last stall and removed his drawstring bag from the door before sitting down on the toilet seat. He then used this chance to gather his thoughts. After a moment, he consolidated all his knowledge into three main points.
'Firstly, from the sense of danger just now and the lack of bite wound on that body, the virus likely comes from the school's water supply. Secondly, the virus affects people differently, either it turns them into zombies, or it kills them immediately upon contact. And thirdly, the virus is transmitted differently based on the infected person.
It's transmitted from someone who has turned by being bitten, and then by touch by someone who had died immediately.'
After sorting out his thoughts, Jin-woo glanced down at the back of his hand and added additional information.
"The virus in the water only infects someone who has come into contact with it in high dosage."
Jin-woo's face shifted.
"No wonder I sensed danger when I was about to pull the fire alarm. I thought it was because the loud sound would rile up the zombies but turns out it was due to the water in the sprinklers carrying the virus."
Suddenly, Jin-woo looked down at the drawstring bag in his lap. He hadn't forgotten what he came here for. Hurriedly opening the bag, he ruffled through it and finally fished out his phone at the bottom.
After unlocking his phone, Jin-woo went to his contacts and redial the last number he had called.
The first ring...
The second ring...
The third ring...
The phone rang three times before there was a click... the call went through.
"Mom! Where are you, are you okay?"
Jin-woo involuntarily yelled after having the call go through. However, his relief of this fact suddenly got thrown out the window upon hearing the voice at the other end.
"Jin-woo? It's me, Madelyn. Aren't you still in school right now? I think lunch break is also a few minutes away from ending, aren't you afraid the teachers will catch you on your phone?"
