Rushing down the stairs from the rooftop, Naruto intended to quickly reach his class on the second floor and warn his best friend of the danger. However, something or someone got in his way. The English teacher was slowly but surely climbing the stairs toward him, his head bowed down. And everything would have been fine if blood had not flowed from his face to the floor. Due to his haste, the blond saw him almost at the very last moment and almost collided with him. He had to slowly and quietly back away in the opposite direction to find another way.
- This bastard has had a shitty last few days. But he continued to successfully blame us on tests, referring to the common cold - being a couple of meters from the strange man, the yellow-haired man cautiously stepped back to face him. - Damn, he's too close to me and I'm afraid that if I turn around and run, he will attack me from behind.
Having climbed the last step, the teenager almost reached the corridor. But suddenly the radio started to work and someone started shouting about the critical situation in the school. Paying attention to the sound, the dead man immediately saw a target in front of him, and as soon as the latter was about to run out into the corridor, with a roar he lunged at him with lightning speed.
- Bleat how fast! You that bitch on steroids ?! - trying to push away, madly trying to snatch a piece of his flesh asshole, screamed in fear of the victim. - Fuck off, foreign bitch.
After a few seconds, successfully pushing the ghoul away from him, he ran in one breath towards the only safe place at the moment - the women's toilet. At full speed, rushing into the room, he closed the door in front of the very nose of the corpse, closing it with a lock. At the same time, the radio broadcast ended with a terrible scream from the speaker, after which schoolchildren began to run out in panic from the lower floor. But the Englishman did not care, he began to knock on the door in order to break into the restroom and enjoy the yellow-haired lunch.
- Okay, I need to calm down. It was fucking scary, but I have to pull myself together, - sighing to calm his soul, the blond decided to think. - All students and teachers should already be aware of the situation. But from the fourth floor, no one ran out, since this bastard continues to knock. Either there were no lessons here today, or the Englishman killed everyone and then decided to walk up to the third floor. But after hearing how I was going down, I came back. Anyway, it doesn't matter now. The second flight of stairs in our building is now closed due to renovations, and the transitions to other parts of the school are on the third floor. You need to take advantage of this and go through another exit, since the main one is not an option. Damn, and why did I go off and do not jump right up the stairs. Okay, first I have to pile on this asshole to get out.
- Sorry, baby, I'm busy with riots right now and can't talk to you for a long time, - a man's voice was heard from the other side of the phone. - Therefore, please, be careful and don't poke your nose into the main street. I love…
- Daddy, Daddy, what happened? - the connection abruptly disappeared, and the girl could hardly restrain herself so as not to cry. - Say something!
It was very difficult for Chestnut-haired to accept the current situation, because everything happened so unexpectedly. It all started when Obito suddenly dragged her into the corridor during the lesson and said that the teachers began to kill each other. It was too stupid, from the side of his actions looked like harassment. But the message on the radio, the cries of agony warning, and now the general panic says that something has entered the school and is killing people. And judging by the conversation with my father, this nonsense was happening throughout the city.
- Rin, don't stand there and pull yourself together! We need to get out of here immediately! Kakashi shouted, grabbing her arm and dragging her down the hallway. - Faster after me, let's move to the second building along the passage. And then on the stairs we will definitely be trampled by a mad crowd.
Along the way, armed with the first objects that came along the road, they ran across the bridge connecting the buildings, running around or attacking the dead people standing in the way. At first, Obito with fear approached the former people, but after the first murder, more or less began to keep a stiff upper lip, despite the approaching vomiting. And Takashi is always a calm and peaceful guy, now, to protect his girlfriend, he bravely smashed the heads of the dead. Waving an ordinary wooden stick, Nohara decided to knock out another ghoul, but he abruptly threw the piece of wood and pulled his hands towards her.
- Rin, get down! - both teenagers shouted at the same time, following her.
Kakashi pushed the monster away from his feet with lightning speed, and Ueno smashed its head with a sweep, staining the wall with blood. Thanking them and taking a hand from her boyfriend to get up, the girl grabbed her weapon and ran on.
- So what's the plan guys? If these bastards surround us - we are finished! The black-haired man asked, repelling the attack of a living corpse with his weapon.
- Damn, the main passage to the hull is blocked because of them, and we can't go back. Let's first climb to the roof and hide there for a while. And there we will find another passage, - the gray-haired man answered, dodging aside from the malevolent hands. - Ray, don't lag behind!
- Yes, I'm coming, - with the help of a stick, making a trip to the dead man, the redhead ran around him and followed the guys to the roof.
- Ha, it would seem, what could be dumber than running through the front door in a crowd and show up straight to the sick for lunch, - putting his hand under his chin and sitting on the windowsill, Namikaze watched them chew the school lads ... - I hope someone will think with their heads and go the other way. Although, apparently, the infection has reached the rest of the buildings.
Someone tried to get back, but due to the huge crowd it was impossible. Therefore, the first to run out immediately got to a dinner party. While others, while devouring the first, ran in different directions to save their skin. Two tried to climb over the gate because the wall was too high. One was faster and was already at the top, and the second was grabbed by the leg during the process and pulled to the ground, after which they tore into bloody lumps. A friend did not help him, climbed to the other side and was immediately seized by newcomers who arrived in time from the city. Instant karma, as they say. The rest tried to find salvation in another building, but judging by the corpses coming from outside, they had no chance.
- Eh, this brute does not stop trying to come in and eat me. Ha, damn it, I don't want to die in a woman's jerk, like a goner pervert, - having brainwashed, the blond began to examine the situation. - So what we have here: a mop, a bucket, four toilet bowls, a window, a beautiful view from the fourth floor. Hmm, better than nothing. What is most important is not to let yourself be bitten, so as not to die and return like such a goat, interested only in human meat.
Sighing to calm himself and grabbing the mop in his hands, he decisively opened the door. An Englishman immediately attacked him, stretching his arms forward to grab. However, having successfully blocked it with a piece of wood, the blue-eyed fell to the floor, leading the ghoul. Wasted no time, he jumped it over himself, tossing it closer to the window. Before the walking corpse gets up and dismisses its dirty hands, he put a bucket on his head so that he would not bite and could not see anything.
- Ooh-oh-oh, for the glory of spring youth, - turning the mop over with its wide side, the guy with a warlike cry began to push it to the window, until it eventually flew out and crashed.
- Hah, how's my combo bastard! - wiping the sweat from his forehead and closing the door again, Naruto headed for the booth. - Wow, now you can use the toilet, otherwise something is unrealistically pinned from fear.
Meanwhile, Karin and Chouji slowly made their way through the third building, not attracting the undue attention of the walking corpses. The boy did not know whether it was fate or the kindness of heaven, but what was his surprise when, during another bullying in the toilet by his classmates, the alarm sounded and everyone rushed to the exit at once. Thanking Saint Kami that his head was not thrust into the shock again, he decided to run after the others in order to save his life. But the miracles did not end there, as, passing by his class, he came across Yasuda. She stopped him and offered to take another course. The redhead spoke seriously and urgently, although her hands trembled a little with fear. Perhaps she needed help and didn't want to admit it. Or maybe it was just scary to be alone. Despite all this, he agreed to become an ally, as he knew that he could not refuse her pretty face. Although the boy did not understand what benefit he would bring because of his fearful nature.
- Just before the attack, Obito showed up here, shouted to the whole class that the teachers had started killing each other in the street, and dragged Rin out with Kakashi. Then the radio broadcast and the warning of danger, - she announced busily, moving along the corridor with the fat man. - I tried to stay calm and stop my classmates from rash actions, but no one listened to me. On the street now, hell is going on, so it is too dangerous to go out through the main passage, we will head to another building.
And while passing through the third building, they accidentally ran into one slowly walking dead man. Ordering the guy to stay on the line, Karin grabbed several torn rags from the floor and went to the toilet.
- What are you doing? We need to run away from here, not clean up, - Akimichi said as soon as she returned to the place.
- Shut up, fat man, I want to check something, - the girl hissed furiously, laying out wet shells in front of her.
- Throwing the first wet piece directly into the bloody face, she instantly hid. After a few seconds, Karin looked out again, but this time she threw the flap into the box, and then disappeared around the corner again.
- Hmm, so they don't react to hits on their own. And, besides, they are blind as moles, - the red-haired whispered, watching the corpse collide with the closet, in an attempt to pass through it. - But they respond to noise instantly, albeit temporarily. Not finding the source of the sound, they return to their passive state again.
- Wow, Karin, you're so smart, - Chouji said with a smile. - No wonder you are called one of the best students of our school.
- I know, - having prepared a new shell, the girl said. - Get ready, as soon as I distract him, we will walk through it at the pace of a waltz.
Swiftly swinging, Mei landed a powerful blow to the enemy's head, smearing his skull on the floor. Quietly resting in her hall from all the school noise and fuss, she did not expect that in fifteen minutes she would be carrying sick schoolchildren with her bokken. Chaos and confusion reigned everywhere. Some tried to run away or hide from their former schoolmates, while others either became food, or, after being wounded by bites, after a while themselves turned into devourers. There was also a third group - suicides, who, in order not to be eaten, jumped from windows and crashed to death. Despite all this shit, the redhead completely focused on the fight, in order to prevent herself from being bitten and get out of here alive. Breaking through the living corpses from the hall itself, she ended up in the second building on the first floor near the medical office. The turmoil was in full swing here. In an attempt to protect the nurse from former sick patients, the bespectacled kid with a metal stick in his hands bravely took the fight. However, the nobility did not save him from the numerical superiority of opponents, who instantly attacked him. The biting couple also decided to feast on the blonde woman, but the timely appearance of the kendo president saved her life. Having cleared the room of undead with her wooden blade, Terumi approached the wounded defender and said:
- At the cost of your life, you protected Hyuuga-san and now, full of respect for your person, I will allow you a choice: either I will end your life here and now, or you will become one of these monsters.
- I don't want to attack Hinata-san in such a filthy form, so do what is necessary," the teenager said with a smile, spitting out blood.
- Wait, Mei-san, - the blonde suddenly intervened. - You can't, maybe ...
- Don't, - the red-haired woman said, pointing a piece of wood at the boy. - He is fully aware of his words and wants to remain human until the very end. I can only stop its transformation.
Having pierced the hero's head, the girl brushed off the blood from the weapon and drew attention to the only person who survived in the office:
- Hinata-san, grab all the essentials, - then with a sadistic grin she looked at the dead people crawling out of the windows and added: - In the meantime, I'll take care of our guests.
Desperately fleeing from the large crowd of the dead, Naruto cursed his luck and his attempt to protect the busty girl with a piece of mop in his hand.
- And instead of saying thank you, this bitch turned into a cannibal in a few minutes and pounced on me. So I had to break my only weapon against this carcass, - suffocating from the lack of oxygen in his lungs, he frantically ran, wherever his eyes were looking. - And then I ran into these assholes.
But what was his surprise when, miraculously, a full bespectacled man and a red-haired bitch started running towards him from the other side of the corridor. And as soon as he decided to greet them with a smile, he saw a not at all small group of living corpses chasing them.
- Hey, go the fuck out of here, the company is already rushing after me, - the blond shouted to the approaching couple.
- Fuck you, Namikaze! Be so kind and take your fans out of our way! Karin snapped back at him.
Despite the situation, she, as always, was incredibly rude towards the blue-eyed one. However, the trio understood that at this rate they would be surrounded in a few seconds. Therefore, on the run, they began to try to enter some office. Some were closed, and the second contained additional bites, successfully joining the crowd of ghouls. And when there was no more hope, Chouji finally found a free room. Deciding to run faster after the fat man, Yasuda did not pay attention to the insane speed of the dead body approaching from her back.
- Behind, blunt-nosed! - pushing away the girl at full speed, the yellow-haired man stuck the sharp part of the broken mop into the runner's head, and then kicked him towards his dead friends.
The last one to run in, closing the door on the lock, Naruto helped Akimichi set up several desks as a barricade. Karin, meanwhile, was engaged mentally, trying to find a way out of this situation, but without coming up with anything, she screamed out of hopelessness:
- We ran into a dead end, and all these creatures will now pass through the only exit. And all because of whom? Because of the dumbest blonde who somehow miraculously got in our way!
- Bloated slurp, pink bitch And if you don't stop panicking, I'll whip your pretty ass with a pointer, - Naruto said irritably, and then, ignoring further chatter with four eyes, turned to Chouji. - Hmm, never came here. This is probably a labor office or some kind of workshop, so I think you can find a lot of interesting things here. Do you have any thoughts on this?
- These guys only attack melee, so we need to find something long range, - the fat man said, scratching his head thoughtfully. - For example, a nail gun. Several improvements and he will shoot me no worse than a pistol.
- Ha, I like the way you think. Then start rummaging around here, and I'll go to the next closet, and maybe I'll find something interesting there.
- Since you have already thought of roles for yourself, - the girl said in a calm tone, drawing the attention of the guys, - I will look after the door, with all my might I will hold the barricade and protect your idiotic ass from the premature appearance of patients. Therefore, start already preparing, and do not stare at me.
- Yes ma'am!
- Damn, I just can't get through to my father, - Sasuke said irritably as he dialed the number again. - Your mother and what to do now? I don't want to die in this damn school.
- Yes, I have the same thing, - Kiba replied, hanging up on the desk. - Umino-san, do you have any idea how we can move forward?"
Iruka slowly opened his eyes and looked listlessly at the small group of surviving students. Teaming together, they were able to get to the chemistry class and at the moment there weren't even bites here. The three boys held an improvised weapon in their hands and begged Kami not to kill them. The two girls hugged each other and cried softly in the corner. Useless shit that would feed these critters as bait. Although females can be used in another way, and then thrown into a landfill.
- At least the Uchiha and Inuzuka have some value due to the wealth and influence of their parents. If all goes well, maybe their families will help me get to my father safely. After all, after all, he is the mayor and has a whole bunch of bodyguards and shelters in his hands. But this is only one of the options, - the dark-haired man fell into thoughts, after which he turned to Kiba without interest: - We are not the only survivors here. Somewhere, perhaps someone is trying to come up with a plan to escape this prison. So for now, we'd better wait for the opportune moment to appear.
- What the fuck am I supposed to wait here to be devoured ?! Some kind of idiotic logic: to put everything on chance or a miracle, - muttered the muzzle displeasedly, getting up from his place. - I'd better get out of here on my own.
- Take your time, - Sasuke said, grabbing his friend's shoulder. - Sai and I agreed to meet here, and I don't want to leave until he comes back. Let's wait at least half an hour, and then we'll run away together if he doesn't show up.
- Okay, just for you. And why did you decide to kindly wait for Okada at all? - Returning to his place, asked Inuzuka. - We always quarrel with him.
- Right, - the Uchiha sighed wearily, looking down at the floor with a smile, - But despite this we remain good old comrades.
- Um, Namikaze, are you sure of your plan, - Karin said fearfully, watching the guy scatter black powder near the board.
While Chouji was setting up a brand-new nailgun found in some closet, the yellow-haired guy rummaged a little in the closet and found a lot of tools, an ax, and a small box of gunpowder. What such a dangerous explosive was doing in the workshop was beyond women's understanding. Just like the madness of her classmates.
- Ha-ha, I don't know myself, but we have no choice, - with a grin, he began to lead the powder trail to the room. - Either we accidentally blow up, or we will be devoured by former classmates. You can also jump from the fourth floor, by the way. Break your legs and then get a ghoul's snack. This is a plan for yourself, so if you don't like something, you can decide for yourself what to do.
- It seems ready, - said the bespectacled man, aiming his new weapon with a manic smile on his face. – Ha-ha, you just need to practice shooting the test subjects.
- You feel more confident with this weapon. Damn, and in general, why exactly I got into the team of crazy psychopaths, - Yasada whispered, holding the fence with all her might, which could hardly withstand the pressure of the rotten wolves. - Do you understand that after the explosion, the creatures closest to this place will run here?
- Therefore, after the explosion, we will quickly get out of here, - asked Naruto, looking at the young lady. - Do you have any idea where we can go?
- We originally planned to climb into the first building, since there is an emergency exit, as well as a garage, - silently thanking Chouji for helping to hold the barricade, pink continued: - The keys to both are in the teacher's room in the same building. Although on transport I think it will be easier to get out than to try to get through the crowd.
- From this we will begin our path of freedom, - the bespectacled man joined the conversation, - and how do you know all this?
- I am the best prefect and one of the possible candidates for the now former student council. I need to know everything!
After finishing the preparations, Namikaze advised the team to go for cover. The door was instantly blown down by the hungry crowd, which was now slowly but surely approaching the closet of the only survivors.
- Chouji, fire only at those who come closer to us, - the yellow-haired man said, looking out of the corner. - We will wait for most of the guests.
With a manic smile, the bespectacled man began to blow out the brains of living corpses from the nail gun. The four-eyed woman pressed against the wall away from the boys and silently read a prayer to Saint Kami. And now, a few seconds later, when many opponents entered the office, Namikaze signaled to the fat man to stop firing. As soon as the match lit the trail of powder, he closed the door with lightning speed and shouted with words from some manga:
- Get down! - covering their ears, the three prepared for the show. - Art is an explosion!
A massive explosion thundered, the noise of which spread throughout the school grounds.
