Two days, I wandered through the underground darkness.
That was it when I measured the date.
Hearing a water noise at his feet, Yusuke panicked and crawled to the floor. Water was flowing when I put my hands on it.
By hand exploration, it turns out to be a small drain on the wall of the aisle. Maybe it's raining on the ground.
Put your mouth on and drink water. The soil and dust were also mixed and almost licking the ground, but the tingling thirst was soothed by it.
Plug your chin, get up.
Pay attention to the steps and proceed so that they stick to the wall.
The pursuit of the intelligent body could be turned away.
But I've completely lost my position in the basement.
I don't have a map, I don't even know where I am.
In the beginning, the fear of when he would be attacked in the dark was also intolerable, but in one or two days, the darkness itself began to sweep the spirit of Yusuke.
It was a failure not to aim for quite a station and to try to find other entrances and exits. There is a braille block at the station, but there was no such thing in the basement connecting the facility. By the time I realized it, I didn't even know where I was.
When I stumbled upon the vending machine, I tried to break it without having to make a sound. But I had no tools, I just hurt my hand and it was over.
The hunger becomes unbearable and the hands and feet become powerless. Memory decreases and consciousness becomes blurred. The only way to know my position is to remember the terrain I've followed in my head, but it's getting harder too.
One time on a bench somewhere, I found something that looked like a bag that had been left behind. Clamor inside, but it just contained paperwork and accessories.
"There's no food!
upside down and throw away the contents.
My voice echoes in the dark.
If you speak up, your enemies are in danger of finding you. I was as patient as I could because of that, but that also brought the limit to a close.
When I realized it, I realized I was whispering to myself. He was creating his own five senses of stimulus to withstand an overly unstimulated environment closed in the dark.
As he roamed the darkness, Yusuke gradually became able to discern the footsteps of the zombies.
Underneath, many zombies wandered.
Slowly dragging footsteps.
Footsteps walking in constant rhythm.
Footsteps like sticking against a wall.
Yusuke kept walking, imagining what those zombies looked like.
I felt like a zombie myself.
As I walked in disdain, I realized I was at some station. It feels like it's stuck at my feet. Exploring it by hand it was a Braille block.
Follow it carefully so that you never miss it, keeping your haste down. Go up the stairs and continue down the aisle.
The block was blocked on the way.
The shutter was closed.
Someone must have put it down when it was pandemic.
Yusuke busted his fist and slapped him.
"Open it! Somebody open up!
No response.
There can't even be someone in this dark.
Eventually, limits came to my body.
◇
Numerous humans passed by beside Yusuke lying on the bench of the home.
We knew it was a hallucination, but the people who rise in the darkness, they truly looked.
Some men, some women. Salaries in suits. Students who are taking them in uniform. Young man with earphones on. Old man. Mother with baby.
I don't even have eyes on this one, I'm passing the home.
With that in mind,
(Well... this is what it ends up like...)
A cracked lip creates a faint laugh.
(It's karma...)
I didn't expect you to get lost and starve to death in the basement even though you escaped that siege.
In this situation, it means nothing, such as your own characteristics.
A speaker who was supposed to be deaf rang and a train arrived on the platform.
Through the open door, humans ride on.
In that crowd, I saw a familiar sister and brother.
A girl about high school and two boys about elementary school. They are both in the hands of their sisters so that they don't pinch their feet in the gap in the home.
Like we once met, there were three of us.
The broadcast flows and the door closes.
The girl looked back, looked at this one and snapped her neck. I'm stopping by the door and trying to say something.
The voice was not heard, and the train that carried the three of them moved out. Put on a deep moon that says something, and the vehicle slowly moves away from the home.
Yusuke silently dropped it off.
(It's a convenient dream...)
I wish that was real.
I thought about the late moons that were supposed to have headed for the mountains, and wondered if I could have reached them alive, and it also disappeared out of my thoughts like foam.
The home without one was cold. Put your arms around you and withstand the cold air of the wind that blows.
Huh, I noticed a little boy sitting on the same bench.
I don't recognize him, but I had a sense of ready-made vision somewhere. I didn't know at first, but soon I realized who it was.
(... oh... no, that happened too...)
When I was little, I went off on a train transfer and was alone. That's when I remember. After waiting at home for about half a day, I gave up and left on my own.
(Jae-san, you slept at home... not much now that I think about it...)
Turn the boy around. Unsized rash clothes. My hair is bumpy and small dirty. He is sitting there motionless like a stone, silently dropping his gaze.
(Eyes peeling... then no one will speak...)
I thought if I moved poorly, I'd be in the wrong place, so I was waiting to pick him up.
(This way, no one... just go home...)
You heard your heart, the boy disappeared forever.
And the world of dreams, which was coloured, was cast into darkness.
Only the faint footsteps of the wandering zombies return to their ears.
Yusuke finally falls asleep, listening to the footsteps as he walks by without dreaming.
Two, one of the footsteps stopped in front of the bench.
After a while of silence, my palm slowly reached out to me.
Was it in a dream, Yusuke fell into that deep darkness?
◇
Tears spill over the eyelid irritation.
"What... the hell..."
When I opened my mouth, I got a squeaky voice that I didn't even think was mine.
Cover your face with your arms and endure the pain that strikes your eyes.
After a while, I realized it was light.
Wearing spilling tears, he roughly shifts his arms and looks into the light.
In the backlight, I saw a silhouette of a woman in a hood glancing at me from right up close.
……
I try to get up a little bit, but I can't help myself.
I can't even lift my body with my elbows on. As soon as I could, I noticed the soft feeling of the back of my head.
Knee pillow.
A silhouette over his head lifts his neck.
…………
Slowly my eyes get used to it.
It was a blowout square there.
The ceiling was glazed and the sun was shining from it.
In the center there is a fountain, but the water is dry. Yusuke was put to sleep on one of the stone benches covering the square.
Knowing what was going on around him, Yusuke moved his fluttering body carefully and slowly down off the bench.
The shadow in the hood doesn't interfere with it, and it stays this way.
So I finally saw the whole body of the other guy.
Sitting on the bench, looking like a woman in a camouflage raincoat.
Three braided brunettes are flushing down his shoulder and spilling out of his hood.
My untouched eyes stared at this one.
"Heh..."
Ol who lived in the same apartment as Yusuke.
I was a child.
He was confined to a room in the same apartment because he was turning into a zombie, but when he heard that militia rescue was coming, he freed him.
I wondered why the child was here at that time, and so I remembered the last time we broke up.
The way the kid was following us all the way until the distance kept him away and he couldn't catch up.
Have you been looking for yourself ever since?
When Yusuke stared, Toko took his gaze off, blurring from under the hood, and began looking over the head of the light sauce.
To its appearance, the faint image blushes his head all the time.
Something stretched out.
Yusuke drops his gaze into his own hands, but it disappeared, not into shape, as a phantom in his dreams.
◇
There were numerous shops by the square and food and water were quickly found.
However, my weakness was severe and it took me two days to get back in shape.
Sit on the bench and pour your pet bottle of tea down your throat. Timeko sits down for quite a while, not doing anything, but looking over his head.
The way it was, I somehow found out that Timko liked this square.
Maybe that was from the beginning of my life.
Yusuke noticed the discomfort as she got to the bottom of this.
There was something in this day and age that could only be described as being present. Perhaps that's something Yusuke can only feel.
Dreams I had when my intelligence body bit me and I fainted.
The connection I felt in it, with my fellow countrymen.
That very faint thing was also felt by the Timeko.
(Even when I had that dream, Toko had to leave...)
For Yusuke, his buddy's intelligence body, maybe.
"... do you want some?
Toko distracted himself from the food he offered.
"... I don't know"
Yusuke thinks as he observes how it is when he sits quite well.
(Probably helped...)
I don't remember after I lost consciousness on the bench at home.
I'm not sure how I got to this point, but my life was long anyway.
Timeko's obsession lurks the ringing compared to temporarily, but he felt somewhat concerned about this one.
Still, I'm not regaining my human emotions, I just have a vague connection. It didn't even seem to make much sense in the words of gratitude.
Yusuke sat down as Toko, blurring and blowing out the ceiling.
From the top of the head, the outside light is shining.
(Which...)
The exit to the ground is found not so far away.
I saw it in my dreams, I was worried about what the late moons looked like.
(... I wonder if they could have gotten to the mountains properly...)
It's been days since then.
Even if the intellectuals didn't chase us, we got out of here poking around the zombie wandering city.
There was plenty of annihilation along the way.
…………
The hood shakes with a sight.
When he stood up, he turned his back after holding this one for a while.
That look in a raincoat slowly leaves the bench.
As Yusuke silently dropped him off, Toko walked away into the darkness of the underground, unreachable light of day, without looking back.
◇
We stayed up all night when we reached the mountains because of the city.
I didn't turn on the lights. I didn't want humans to find me rather than intelligent bodies.
Walk silently down the road once climbed with the Procurement Squad under the starlight.
Eventually, in the distance, I could see the entrance to the center.
On the roof of a large lodging in the center, a burning fire is burning.
Around, I saw some lookout figures.
Get close to the woods so you can't find them. The starlight is blocked by the forest canopy, and the burning fire doesn't reach this far. I had no fear of being overlooked.
Approaching enough, Yusuke looked at the center, even against the soba tree.
During the observation, I found that the centers in my memory had been soaked up and transformed into places of life. Cars and supplies have been moved and heavy machinery placed. Defensive moats were also being built.
Yusuke took a small breath at the appearance.
Perhaps the vast majority were able to get there safely.
If I knew that, I wouldn't have needed it.
(Go...)
Raise up your body from the trunk of the tree, and give you back your blemishes.
By the time I took the time to get back to the asphalt road, the moon was also much bigger.
From behind, someone's footsteps approach.
Turning around, a few meters away, a breathless deep moon stood.
He stares straight at this one as he holds his rough breathing chest.
"... don't walk alone, you're in danger"
As I said, I thought that was a misplaced word.
The deep moon does not answer, but slowly walks over.
Eventually he ran small and was hugged to be hit by his body.
My hands rush through this garment.
……
I can't see the look on my face while I'm nagging.
Speaking of which, I just felt like I had eyes on one of the watchmen. I didn't care because it was dark.
"... you've always found out it's me"
The deep moon holds him, shaking his neck silently beside him.
There were more people in the distance.
The people at the center are looking at us.
Yusuke gently tried to peel off the deep moon, but the deep moon did not leave.
I thought about a lot of words to say, and in the end, I just said the most important thing.
"Hey, you know what I mean. He said I couldn't get mixed up in there."
The trembling voice of the deep moon.
"Stay with me"
……
Behind the far rear of this place is a constant stretch of city.
Zombies' roaming world.
I knew I should be heading that way, but I couldn't shake off the hand that was taken.
When I looked up, around the burning fire, the humans at the center were waving. To welcome this one.
Yusuke hesitated for a while and then, with the late moon, stepped out to where the humans were.
