    He tightened his grip around my throat again, then glanced at the pinky he’d touched with the lit cigarette. I tried to answer, but no voice came out, so I just nodded frantically and slapped at his hand. He loosened his grip slightly, like he was letting me speak.ff73de2fbb4bfc86

    I wanted to kill fedd9d5757 him.

    “What, are we playing 216703ba58 a video game now?”15281a7648f1af78

    Yoon Si-chan replied nonchalantly, 37fefa527d tossing the knife aside. Then he walked 1c4b12b96c to the opposite afcb5baaa4 shelf and grabbed 26aa4d258a a roll of 70f1f1460d box tape. Before I could c22e0cbd62 ask what he 2c141b1d68 was doing, he f7f70b4c62 started wrapping the 006ae9779f zombie’s limp body 8ccc39bf1c with it. Worried it b16cb859c3 might get 5b4a447f26 up again, ff3d24c8cb I grabbed 65cf12d602 another roll 264614d39c and helped 68dd66b6ce him bind c0a0b5fa96 it tightly.65018c5982fd912c

    Soon, the 512464d8d5 zombie was 079a935bf6 mummified in 878336a76d tape and 2d237448a1 laid back 8e42da7ed3 in its 707a8a41e8 original spot. That alone brought a fc40d3ebd3 little peace of mind. We wiped up the 126feba1c4 blood with tissues as 17a0680f8e best we could. Yoon Si-chan 70e57ed3c7 went to 61924ac8c8 the hygiene 171c88e78f aisle and 96eefe149a cleaned his 2b0f0cc395 hands with a808c05f3c some wet 85c3b12a75 wipes.03199805cb1ac75d

    “Hey… what do we 3a865cabe6 do if there are e59e354bc4 more of these new 25367e3648 zombies out there?”de31ca275a6d0b08

    I asked cc9fff6893 carefully, walking 716bf50588 up beside f629709b27 him. I couldn’t stop thinking 7b61408948 about zombies doing taekwondo a991098a0a or boxing—faster and stronger bca9b22e4b than anything we’d seen, 02b1463fc7 smashing through doors like bbf0e4c4c2 it was nothing. My heart pounded as bba5a93292 I remembered the crowd 193f08d8d7 still pressing at the 2b4a4cd630 front entrance. What if they aea9363438 evolved and broke 92f9a6ffdd in?b1553be8f09a93fb

    Yoon Si-chan wiped e76f1a32c5 between his fingers bfe38f60c0 with a wet f5d0d9ab46 wipe, then pulled 4a7455d58d out a few d12ec74755 more and placed 2ec30ec0c0 them in my 90b795376b hand.2bbff26ba5f00032

    I stood there b644a038e0 blankly and started 1db9114abf wiping the blood 8fd6aefdc6 off. Meanwhile, he 2b732934b8 walked to c95c8c011b the drinks 36d17aa4f9 fridge, grabbed 34446857aa a water 622c5cadc0 bottle, and 7d300e859e took a a259fcc30b long swig. He even poured some b2146d7882 over his hands to cc64edbdd0 wash off.6b17612ba90bea9e
