Assassin of the Dead(Highschool of the Dead x male reader)

Time to Get Out of Dodge

TW: Smoking

(y/n) POV

The news kept going on about what was going on as I just watched the zombies in the parking lot. The news feed gets cut off as the reporter gets attacked by zombies.

(y/n): (thoughts) It's already starting to fall apart.

The others kept watching the news as I kept watching the zombies in the parking lot.

Takashi: *punches the table* Is that all? Why didn't they tell us anything else?

Saya: They're afraid of causing a panic.

Rei: A panic?

Saya: Yeah you idiot. First panic then chaos. And chaos causes a disruption of order. And then, when order is disrupted, well you should just hand it all over to the walking corpses.

The news broadcast kept going before the signal was lost and the TV went to static.

Takashi: So they're everywhere.

Kohta: That's crazy. Everything was normal when I checked the internet this morning.

Rei: I can't believe this, this happened all over the world in the matter of a few hours. *steps back and grabs Takashi's shirt* But they'll stop it, right? I mean they have to stop it from spreading I mean. Everything is going back to normal soon.

Saya: That's not gonna happen.

Takashi: Why do you have to be so blunt about it?

Saya: This is a pandemic. There's nothing we can do.

(y/n): She's right.

Shizuka: A pandemic.

Saya: It's the outbreak of infectious disease. The entire world is experiencing the same outbreak.

Takashi: So what, it's some kind of epidemic?

Saya: This is exactly like the Spanish Flu in 1918. More than 600 million people got infected and 50 million died from it. Remember how much a panic Swine Flu caused? Well, square that.

Shizuka: Not to be disagreeable but, I think this is more like The Black Death from the 14th century.

(y/n): One-third of Europe's population was wiped out, perhaps even half of Europe's entire population was killed from 1346 to 1353, total deaths, estimates say about 50 million.

Saya: Huh. You're smarter than I thought.

(y/n): *chuckles* Usually a disease stops spreading when it kills too many people. But with the dead walking and attacking, there is no stopping it from spreading.

Shizuka: The weather is going to be hot, they might not be able to move if their flesh decomposes and they become skeletons.

Seako: How long does it take for that to happen?

Shizuka: In summer, some parts of the body can become skeletal in about 20 days, but it takes considerably longer during winter. A couple months, that's not too terribly long.

(y/n): You're wrong.

Everyone turns to me, a little surprised.

(y/n): Total decay of a human cadaver can take between 50-350 days but, the undead don't typically work like a normal human body does. The undead are going to take longer to decompose, much longer, if they decay at all.

Rei: What do you mean by longer?

(y/n): Try possibly years.

Everyone: What?!
