Due to the sudden attack Linri panicked. He had let his guard down and there was no way that he could react in time. If he had even seen it a second before it had happened he would be able to use his [Fire s.h.i.+eld], alas he didn"t have that second.[Fireball]
He created a fireball right next to his face where Natsumi bit him turning her head into ashes. The fireball materialised right on her face and encased it but that meant he was not spared by it either. Half of his face had burnt as a result. It hurt like h.e.l.l but he had been through worse so it was not important. It was a blessing (curse) to have this much pain tolerance sometimes.
Anyway, the important thing was the fact that she had bitten him right on his carotid artery. For those who don"t know the carotid artery was a vein located in the neck and pumped blood to the brain. It was usually where people took pulses if they can"t feel any in the wrist.
With each heartbeat, another fresh batch of blood spurted. If he could not stop it he was going to die of blood loss. The only solution he could think of was cauterizing the wound.
He raised the temperature of his hand to the max and pressed on his neck with it.
*Sizzle*
Linri could smell the burning flesh and blood. He felt nauseated. The world around him was spinning. His eyes gradually got darker. Everything around him became blurry. Was he really going to die here? Heck no! He refused to die like this! He hadn"t even gotten his revenge yet!
He looked at his hand covered with his own flesh and blood. He wanted to wash it off but there wasn"t any water around. He tried to vomit but nothing came out of his stomach. He had really done it now. He was going to die. He should have guessed it. Udcek wouldn"t leave anyone alone. She must have been an agent he planted to a.s.sa.s.sinate him when he put down his guard. He couldn"t help but laugh looking at the irony of the situation. Whenever he tried to help someone, he got punished for it.
It was almost as if the G.o.ds were telling him to be evil. There was no good in becoming a hero. If he was not involved in the opening ceremony he wouldn"t have driven James away. If he decided to let Jaime come with him they still would have been friends. If he had not tried to help Natsumi he wouldn"t be in this situation. It always resulted in him getting hurt. Just what did he do to deserve this! Just because he played a stupid online game he had to suffer for it. f.u.c.k that!
He didn"t even have any strength to lift his arms up. It was fine, he just needed to sleep it off. This had to be a dream there was no way that this was reality. So he closed his eyes and let himself be embraced by the darkness.
[WARNING!!] [WARNING!!] [WARNING!!]
What now? He already knew about the zombies. Just let him rest. Even though Linri grumbled he still opened the interface. He still wanted to live.

[WARNING!]: The body scan has detected that host has been inflicted with some kind of virus that is changing the integrity of his DNA. Unless immediate medical action is taken host will die approximately in 19 minutes. Because the chip is not connected to the mainframe the A.I is unable to call for authorities. Connect to the mainframe [Y/N]
-------------------------------------------------------------
In defeat Linri pressed Y. Honestly, he couldn"t care less at this moment. So what if he took all his secrets to the grave? He would still be dead! He really did not expect Udcek to be this despicable. Who would use poison on his enemies!? I mean he would but he was a weak little mortal with no morals! You are a G.o.d for f.u.c.k"s sake!
[Initializing...]
[Connection successful!]
[Informing nearest authorities...]
[Unable to reach!]
[Host is suggested to go to the school infirmary. Please make haste!]
Then his bio-chip went silent. This was it? If you couldn"t even call for the authorities what was even the use of having you!? I swear to G.o.d when all the other main characters get a system it always helps them and offers a solution while his was just plain garbage!
Wait, there was something he had overlooked. Didn"t the chip inform him that this was some kind of virus? That means it wasn"t a poison! Okay, think Linri think! Take a deep breath and a.n.a.lyse your situation.
Linri got up with much difficulty and crawled next to Natsumi"s now headless body. He rolled up her sleeves. It was really there!
There was a giant bite mark on her arm. That means this was not Udcek"s invasion but a real zombie apocalypse... f.u.c.k!!!!!!!!
Who the h.e.l.l would research a virus like this? Probably another super-soldier serum gone wrong, right? Haven"t you guys watched any movies? It always ends with virus breaking out! Wait why did it appear in this school? Could one of the teachers be researching this? HINA!! She was the only one researching biogenetics. It was even her who came up with this weird useless chip so if this thing really originated from the school it should be her! If she really researched this stuff she must have an antidote. YES, THAT WAS IT!
I mean in all the other zombie movies there was an antidote or at least they were working on one. If he was lucky enough she should have already devised one.
Linri got up from the ground. At least he tried to but he fell soon after. He couldn"t even walk how was he going to reach there in 17 minutes! It was at this moment he wished it was night instead of the day. If he had his ice powers he could easily reach the infirmary by creating an ice slide or at least he wouldn"t need to spend all his prana over and over again.
He slowly crawled to the door. At least there weren"t any zombies banging the door. He grabbed the pipe blocking the door and used it like a cane, slowly walking down the stairs. The third floor was still empty so he did not encounter any problems. The problem was on the second floor. Right now, Linri could barely walk let alone outrunning the zombies. He had to get rid of them. If he still had enough prana he could have used the same trick with the [h.e.l.l Hound] but he didn"t. In the first place, he was supposed to use it only once in the fights as a finisher. Some might have forgotten but his Spirit attribute was originally only supposed to be average. It was already a miracle that he could use it three times in a fight and still fire spells afterwards.
Linri pulled out his backpack with all the chemicals in it. It was weighing him down but he couldn"t leave it behind otherwise he wouldn"t have any other way to protect himself. When he arrived at the second floor he saw all the zombies wandering around the corridor. G.o.d how he wished he had his [Ex-Burst]. With it, he could move all of them down and easily reach the infirmary. He might even cure the zombie virus just by transforming!
His [Ex-Burst] was a transformation. It had a strict condition with him having to be out of prana and have less than full health. It was a last resort transformation. You see upon transforming he would recover all his prana and health. However, after the fight, he wouldn"t be able to regain prana for the next 2 hours. In RP time that was a lot!
"HEY UGLY ZOMBIES!!" Linri shouted with all he had to attract their attention. His plan was to gather all of them up and then throw his backpack at them to finish them off. Then he would make his way to the infirmary and find that antidote or whatever.
All the scattered zombies on the second floor started to run towards him. Linri gathered the last of his strength and threw the backpack. Unfortunately for him, he couldn"t throw it very far. If he blew it now he would definitely be in the radius. He wanted to cry. He schemed, he broke the hearts of those around him but in the end, he was still going to die in here. He regretted it. He regretted never apologising to Jaime, not talking to his parents about his condition and even creating Linri in the first place.
SCREW IT!!
If he was going to die anyway he was going out with a bang!
[Fireball]
*BOOOOOOOOOOM*
The last thing Linri saw before dying was flames coming towards him. They felt warm and comfortable. He actually didn"t mind dy----
