The World Cataclysm

As Dave went to the upper floors, he intentionally shouted on each floor. He was strong enough to handle several dozens of them, so he didn't fear to attract their attention. As he had expected, he met only occasional growls and roars from zombies.

The dormitory building had 10 floors since it was a new building as a response to an influx of students from all over the Federation. By comparison, his dormitory building was older than the new dorm area, so it had only 5 floors.

Humming a melody, which was already a habit from his past life, he went to the seventh floor. He repeated the same line which he shouted on every floor. He didn't expect any other response, except for the growl of a zombie, but he was surprised to hear a plea for help.

"We're here! Please, save us!"

A desperate woman's voice could be heard from one of the rooms. Her voice was neither sweet nor soft, it had more a tinge of fear and desperation.

At the same time, he heard how one of the doors was being banged. As he heard the sound, he quickly rushed towards it and saw how a zombie was hitting the door of the room. He easily killed it, collecting a black coin from its corpse.

"You're safe now, so wait a bit in the room. I'm going to check up floors, so stay quiet there."

Dave wanted to finish the job before meeting with survivors. Indeed, he was surprised to stumble upon them, but not so much, since he saw plenty of them in his past life. Also, they were safe in the room, so he could help them after he cleaned the building.

"Do you think he will come back?"

The same voice which Dave had heard from the other side of the door resounded in the room. It was a soft voice that was pleasant to hear.

"I don't know, but he said we should wait for him."

A composed and prideful voice followed after the soft one.

"But what will we do, if he leaves us?"

The sweet voice was clearly concerned about her safety.

Three women were whispering with each other in one of the dorm rooms. One of them had light brown hair and a beauty mark right under her lips. She was the owner of a sweet voice.

Another one had composed air around her. She had short black hair till her neckline and sharp facial features. Maybe, she wasn't as enticing as a hot woman next to her, but she had a sharp aura around her. Clearly, she was the type of person who attracts attention no matter she where goes.

The third woman in the room had a completely different aura than the other two women. If the first one was hot and mature and the second one was sharp and charismatic, the third one looked naive.

She had silky black hair, kind eyes, and a cute charming face, but the most eye-catching was her big chest covered under a light pink sweater. She looked like a kind big sister.contemporary romance

"He said it safe now. Maybe we should check the corridor?"

As a whisper from the devil, the owner of a sweet voice suggested opening the doors of the room. She approached the door intending to peek into the corridor as she slightly opened it. The woman with sharp facial features didn't say anything.

"But he said that we should wait for him here."

Naive-looking woman tried to object to her with a meek voice, but she wasn't convincing enough to stop her from peeking.

'Naive bitch! If you are so scared to look outside, then don't stop me from doing it.'

As she peeked out of the doors, the first thing she saw was the dead body of a zombie. Seeing the rotten blood and a cold corpse on the floor, she fell upon her butt as she screamed loudly.

*Aaaah*

"There is a body! A dead body!"

At the same time as she screamed, two student girls standing beside her were able to see the dead body before their room. Each of them had ashen faces as all of them were scared witless at the sight of a cold corpse.

...

'It should be all done here. I checked every floor of the building, so it should be safe now.'

Killing the last zombie in the building, Dave collected the Survival Coin dropped by a zombie. As he went higher, Dave met another 2 zombies and had killed them easily.

As he was heading downstairs to the seventh floor, he heard a woman screaming below him by floor.

"AAAAH!"

'Did I miss a zombie down floors?'

Enhancing his body with mana, he rushed to the seventh floor. As he got there, he saw that the door, which had been closed previously, was wide open.

"Tsk...Didn't I tell them to stay in the room?"

As he neared the room, he saw no blood in it, only three women with no visible injuries. Seeing no bloodstains and no traces of battle, he sighed slightly. He would have felt bad if they had died because he left them.

"Are you alright? Didn't I tell you to stay in your room?"

Still stunned by the sight of the corpse, they barely heard him. As they lifted their eyes from the dead body to the man with bloodstains on his clothes and a sword covered in blood, they felt more fear creeping in their bodies. Especially Dave's scar on the left side of his forehead made him more frightening.

"Please, don't kill us!"

As they saw him, it was the only phrase that came to their minds.

'Am I so frightening? Even Brian, when he saw me, shouted the same line.'

Dave was already used to the side glances directed to him but shouting not to kill them was stretching it too far. Even in his past life, a few people were eager to talk to him without any prejudices.

"Don't worry girls. I'm not going to kill you, so please stop a bit with making rush conclusions."

Dave tried to put a smile as nice as possible, but his scar made his smile much more intimidating than he thought. To look less frightening, he even raised his hands to the same level as his head.

"See, I won't harm you."

It seemed that his actions were able to bear their fruits. The women looked less panicked than before.

"Th...This...This is a dead body!"

Stuttering in her words, naive student girl pointed at the body, lying in a puddle of its own blood. It seemed that the sight of a dead body scared them much more than a man looking like a murderer.

"If I hadn't killed it, it would have eaten you."

It seemed that the woman with a composed air around her was able to come to her senses. She looked less frightened as she tried to pull herself together.

"What do you mean by having eaten us?"

"I meant what I said. Did you watch a film about zombies? Then, you should know what zombies do with people."

"Zombies? This is a zombie?"

When the women heard him, another wave of fear swept over them.

Seeing their reactions, he had understood why they were so frightened. They had thought that the monster banging on their door was a fellow student, who kept assaulting them. And when they saw the corpse of a person banging on their doors, they thought that he killed the student.

"How did you even survived without food for several days?"

After several questions, he learned that they were from the same class on a study of cultures. They were assigned to do the group work, so they gathered in the room of a naive looking student girl called Rebecca. The charismatic woman was called Rachel, while the mature one said that her name was Katelyn.

When they were in the middle of finishing their work, they heard the words of the heavenly voice and fainted after hearing it. After they woke up, someone started banging on their door, so they sat scared in it. It seemed that Rebecca had stockpiled snacks in her drawer, so they were able to last for several days.

'Fortunately for them, doors of the new dormitory building are sturdy enough to withstand the forced entry from an average person.'

Dave thought that they were lucky enough to gather in the new dormitory building.

"Does any of you know how to look after the ill person? And Rebecca, do you have any temperature lowering medicine in your room"

"Yes, I have pills for it. And I also know how to look after a sick person. I looked a lot after my little brother in the past."

Rebecca's voice was as meek as when she objected to Katelyn. It seemed that she was gentle and mild by her nature.

"Take the pills and follow me downstairs. I want you to look after my friend."

With such words, Dave led them downstairs to Adam.
