Chapter 12. New life (3)

When we first discovered the safe house underground in the fire station, we pitched tents in our respective rooms. Even after returning from the Hamptons, it was still there without a single trace of mold.

It was enough for two people to sleep, so I decided to use one for myself and Camilla and Cassandra to use the other. But now Camilla came to my room and laid down on a makeshift bed outside the tent.

“If you’re going to sleep, sleep in the tent. “Moisture comes out of the cement wall.”

“I don’t know.”

Camilla turned her body towards the wall.

Growl.

“…… “

Cassandra finished the canned food I had warmed for her, but Camilla shouted, ‘I’m not eating it!’ And all she drank was water. Even though it must have been really painful to have starved for one meal in a human-free zone instead of anywhere else.

Camilla is now protesting, saying, ‘I am very angry right now.’

Anyway, the time is 8:30 pm. My watch time is 10 PM. We have about an hour and a half. I got up from the tent and headed toward the warehouse where food was stored.

I checked Cassandra’s condition on the way. She is sleeping soundly inside the tent.

She meekly accepted the advice that she had to be on guard in the non-human protection zone, and when she was selected for the last turn, she crawled into the tent, saying that she would go to bed early then.

Well, it’s not like you have to sleep at a certain time here like in the military, and I don’t really have anything else to do today, so it doesn’t matter.

I took out two beer cans, a can of bread with jam, and biscuits to use as a starter from the storage room. I got it from a street vendor on the way here from the Hamptons. I left it in a cool place and it got quite cold. I also took out the ‘Elsa’s Tears’ whiskey that I couldn’t finish last time. I can drink about two cups.

“Camilla.”

I called to her as I returned to her room. Of course she wasn’t sleeping.

“How about a drink?”

Camilla glares at me with resentment. I shook the whiskey from Erza’s tears. A clear sound rang out.

“… Wait.”

Camila returned from her trip and brought a bottle of water. No matter how good she is, it would be difficult to drink her raw whiskey on an empty stomach.

Click. The sound of beer bubbles rising was refreshing. I took a sip of beer, and Camilla mixed whiskey and water 1:1 and ate canned bread with it. I don’t think it’s bad since it’s Twice’s business in its own way.

After Camilla finished eating the bread, she held out a glass half filled with water.

“Follow me.”

“If you come next to me.”

Even though Camilla rolled her eyes, she entered the tent. Her body turned but her hips stayed close together. I finished refilling the bottle with ‘Erza’s Tears’ whiskey.

Camilla closed her eyes and put her drink to her mouth. Moist lips sparkled in the low LED lantern light. I wondered what alcohol on my lips would taste like.

“John. I’m really disappointed in you today. “How can you heat canned food and eat in that situation?”

That’s right, I did it to stop you guys from fighting. It actually worked. But this probably isn’t what Camilla wants to hear.

“Sorry. I wanted to stop you guys from fighting. But they didn’t listen when I said, ‘Don’t fight,’ so I had nothing to do.”

But that was my truth. Camilla clears her throat and glances at me again.

“… It’s funny. You were watching the fight. Did you think she wouldn’t know that you were staring at her breasts? “Do you know how bad it made me feel?”

“I’m sorry. “There’s nothing to say about that.”

But it was a spectacle that could not be missed. Camilla sniffed her nose and emptied her entire glass.

“… Not knowing other people’s speed. Really. Hey, take your hands off my waist?”

I didn’t let go. Instead, I gently pulled him.

“Don’t be anxious.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Infection.”

I could feel Camilla flinching. I gently rubbed her back without saying a word. Camilla seemed like she wanted to get angrier, but little by little she started to cling to me.

“… “Aren’t you anxious?”

“Hmm, not really?”

“How are you doing that? “You too are infected like me.”

What should she say to her?

My situation is different from hers. There is no one like me, not only in Camilla but anywhere in the world.

For 1,000 hours, my character continued to die, get injured, and turn into a zombie.

But that wasn’t the real me. It was just a moment of entertainment. No changes occurred in my body in the other world.

Restart. If you follow your will, any number of restarts are possible.

Isn’t this something religious people often say?

Anyway, this world is a place to have fun. Our true soul, our essence, is out there and no one can invade it, so let’s not take everything in this world too seriously.

If the irreverence of putting games and life on the same line can be forgiven.

“I just want to enjoy it to the best of my ability while I’m alive. Without regrets. “Without any regrets.”

So, just answer honestly.

“You’re strong.”

As expected, it doesn’t seem to have resonated with Camilla. Sadly, she shook her head.

“I feel like I’m going crazy…” When I stabbed the zombie earlier, really… Do you know what I was thinking?”

That is, when I buried the back of my head in Cassandra’s chest.

“Tell me.”

“I will be like this too…” “

Camilla’s body trembled. She pulled me closer. Her body heat could be felt through her thin clothes. He kept patting my back as if comforting a child. This works better for Camilla.

“John. Before me, I only had a vague idea about infections. I believed that I would be safe as long as I was careful, and I thought that all I had to do was not get bitten or covered in blood. I thought it was just bad luck that got caught. “They say they actually caught it.”

“Because you do it?”

“A terrible image keeps coming to mind. Wandering through the wilderness without any reason, leaving rotten, dripping bodies alone, if they see something edible, a corpse or anything… Nana… “I don’t want to be like that.”

“That won’t happen.”

“It’s empty.”

Camilla cried.

“It’s all just empty. What have I done so far? What did you do for a living? In the end, I wonder if I lived this crazy life to become a zombie, and it feels like my whole life is being denied.”

Camilla has strong pride. Rather than sit down, she is the type of person to rush. So, asking for this kind of help right now is a great act of courage. Because it means that I want to shake off her weaknesses and overcome them.

She is struggling.

What should I say? What can I say to her, and what will it reach her?

I don’t know.

And of course, the body is easier than the horse.

She turned her body towards Camilla. He got down on her knees and slowly hugged her. Camilla flinched a little, but eventually she accepted me.

“I will always be by your side, Camilla. “Anywhere, whatever it looks like.”

Camilla kisses her. The whiskey on her lips was hot. After her long, long kiss, Camilla whispered.

“… “Can I ask you a favor?”

“Yes.”

“Don’t shoot me in the face.”

“Huh?”

“If I turn into a zombie, please don’t shoot me in the face. Then you will hate it. Instead of… “

Camilla grabbed my right hand and pulled it inside my t-shirt. She seemed to be getting a little high. When I felt the texture of her bra, I cupped her fingers without realizing it. Camilla laughed a little and she took my hand to her heart.

She opened her palms. I felt a pounding, pounding, powerful heartbeat.

“Shoot here. “Because you’re good at it.”

Thump. Thud. Thud. A life that can be felt in the palm of your hand. Is this what it feels like to touch a target with your hand? I shook my head. Instead, she spread her hands wider. Bone. Muscle. Warmth. Tumult…

“Can you promise me something?”

“Yes.”

“… Thank god.”

“What?”

“Because I can die beautifully.”

“But don’t say that, Camilla. I’m going to be angry. “You’re coming all the way here and going through all the trouble to make sure that doesn’t happen.”

Camilla nodded her head.

“And Cassandra is trying to help us too. Anyway, she did her best… “

Ah. It’s a mistake. I wasn’t talking about Cassandra. Immediately my eyes turn cold.

“Tsk.”

The body moves away. He hugs her knees as if to guard her.

“You take great care of Cassandra?”

I am a double body.

“Uh, um… “

“What? Tell me straight. You dirty pig. “I lose my mind just looking at her breasts.”

“What?”

“I saw you melting when you were hugged from behind earlier, didn’t you? “If it had a tail, it would spin around and fly away, right?”

How do I fix this? What do you do in times like this? Blame someone else. That’s right. You have to blame others.

“Did I learn it from you?”

“What? “Why are you tripping on me?”

Is this the no-out, bases-loaded, no-score, no-mark chance, or something like that?

“Well, um, I mean, Camilla, um…” When we first met, I was in a bit of a state, right? “Stop me and try to stay away.”

“… It did.”

“But, um, after hanging out with you, I started wondering if I really had to do that. Just… Well, I don’t think there’s any need to think of everyone in the world as my enemy. “You have to be suspicious, but there’s no need to go alone.”

It’s still a bit harsh, but it seems like he’s listening for now.

“But?”

“I mean, I’ve changed a lot since I’ve been with you.”

Well, that’s true. Only then did Camilla seem to relax a little. She seemed to be trying to stop me, so she crossed her arms and spoke a little more seriously.

“So Camilla. If something bothers you or hurts you, just tell me. Don’t just get annoyed. It’s very embarrassing and difficult. “It’s been a bit difficult for a few days.”

“Why don’t you say one word?”

Camilla pursed her lips. Still, she seemed to be in a good mood and kept smiling.

“… “Have you really changed since meeting me?”

“Yes.”

“Is there anyone other than me who did that? “Not my parents.”

“Um… “Teacher when I was young?”

“What? I wasn’t the first. But, well, since it was when I was young, I’ll take a look.”

What are you looking at?

But she had no time to ask. Because Camilla lightly kissed her lips. When things are at a disadvantage, I always shut her mouth like this.

And I saw ‘something’.

I left all the doors slightly open because it would be humid when closed. The same goes for this room. But at the door it was clear… I saw what looked like green eyes. I think I also heard a breathing sound there.

But when Camilla woke up, there was no more green light to be seen.

“Camilla.”

Camilla, who was about to turn around, stopped and looked back at me.

“Let’s live happily. Without regrets. “Without regret.”

For some reason, Camilla puts her hands on her waist and sighs deeply.

“… I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it. Please tell me again in a good atmosphere. “I don’t want you to be moved after hearing something like that in an underground bunker.”

Instead of answering, I slightly stuck out my tongue.

During the entire time I was on guard duty, and even when Cassandra woke me up the next morning, nothing special happened. She was a little worried about whether Cassandra would be able to keep watch, but she was unfounded.

“Doctors from the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency also take turns on duty. There are many cases where they are on emergency standby, but in fact, most of them are busy working overtime. “I feel like I slept well for the first time in a long time.”

Camila, who had been on watch in the middle, was still sleeping, so we talked in low voices. Cassandra looked lively, as if saying that she had slept well for the first time in a long time was not an empty statement.

Canned stew and biscuits were placed in a bowl and heated with solid fuel.

“It’s been a while since breakfast, but it’s not as tasty as the stew you made. “I want to eat that again.”

Camilla, who woke up late, muttered as she stuffed her stew into her mouth. Cassandra looked at me with her slightly puzzled eyes.

“John, did you know you could do something like that?”

“You’re good at cooking. It was delicious. “I’m not good at cooking.”

“That’s surprising. “I thought you were good at dumping people and seducing women.”

Camilla giggled as she tried to hold back her laughter while eating. The unexpected blow made me look at Cassandra. Cassandra seems indifferent.

“Uh, over there. Cassandra. “I won’t leave you behind.”

“You abandoned it once. I don’t think the second time will be difficult. “In fact, last night Cassandra had over a hundred opportunities to do this or that to John’s body, but she didn’t do it.”

“What, what?

“I wanted to warn you clearly before we go to our ‘destination’. If you abandon Cassandra again, John will not be able to have s*x. I will put you in a chastity belt and throw away the key. Let the ‘slutty pig’ know. “Is this the right training method?”

Camilla is now laughing, even shedding tears.
