One afternoon, three survivors were in a wilderness, trying to look for a way to get out of the woods without getting pounced at by Necros. The eldest has a clothing of a scout ranger, the second is a woman which is still wearing her secretary attires, the youngest is a school teacher, still has his name tag on his uniform.

"Watch out for those that only huffs..." The eldest of the three warned the other two.

"No need to remind me, Cham." The youngest retorted.

"Be respectful, Nit." The woman scolded him.

"Shut up, Haryana!" The youngest, who's name is Nit replied.

"Shush!" Cham, the scout ranger shushes them both as he saw something in front of them.

He got curious, and slowly went to what he sees. The two, reluctantly follows Cham as well. As they continued to walk to where that- whatever Cham had briefly seen, they arrived outside of the woods, and instead arrived in a grassy field, which only lacks of woods in that area. Sun is also becoming a sunset, and is slowly sinking into darkness.

As they were in the field, they were shocked to see over fifteen Necros standing still, and were looking up on the sky. They weren't  moving, nor making any noise such as groaning and growling.

"What the hell?" Nit curses under his breath.

"What are they doing?" Haryana asked, both confused and nervous.

"Let's just kill them..." Cham said and grabbed his pistol, as he slowly points it at one of the idling Necros.

But as the sunset turns to dusk, the unmoving Necros started to twitch a little. The one in front of Cham, turn its lifeless white eyes at him, until it became red as blood as well the other fourteen Necros.

"Oh, no, you mother-" before the scout ranger could finish his sentence, the red-eyed Necro suddenly bit his face off aggressively, ripping his upper lip off his mouth.

The man started to scream in pain, the other two were terrified as well. The Necros started running fastly towards Cham and tackled him on the grass, biting his face off, including the one who bite his lip off. His screaming louder as the Necros mauled him down. They are much faster than those Necros who ran, and even faster than those who naturally runs.

The two younger survivors decided to ran away, as their pistols can't comprehend with the speed of these veracious biters. While running, they could still the scream of agony of their friend. They wanted to save him, but there was nothing they could do, because it was too late.

Nit looked back, and realized that some of the Necros were not chasing as they were busy devouring Cham alive, while others— about four of them were chasing him and Haryana. That's when he made a selfish plan and looked at his running colleague.

"Har, I think I know what to slow em' down!" Nit said.

Haryana who is following behind him asked, "W-what is it?"

"You feed them! They'll slow down!" He replied.

"What?!" Haryana exclaimed, "How can I feed them? I don't have any food in my pockets!"

To answer her confusion, Nit shoot Haryana's right leg, causing her to scream and fell on her knees in pain. Nit started running faster.

"I-I'm so sorry!!" He yelled, as he continued to run.

As Haryana groaned and looked at the galloping Necros, she looked back at Nit and begged, "No, no, no! Nit! Don't leave me!!"

As she begged, the four Necros started tackling her, one of them held her upper jaw and pulled it up, until her mouth is dislocated so badly it get teared off her lower jaw. Her distorted scream can still be heard as Nit arrived inside the forest where he and his other companions came out.

He quickly climbed on one of the trees and started shaking. Haryana's scream slowly starting to fade, until they are no more. He panted in exhaustion in fear. He just made a very selfish decision, in order to save himself. He started to felt guilty for doing so. Nit started to weep bitterly while clutching a hand on his hand.

He slowly looked up on the sky and saw the bright moonlight shining on him. Nit wiped his tears and looked down, only to be shocked after seeing all the Necros waiting under the tree. Some of them are slowly trying to climb, while others were only growling and snarling. He started shooting them, which only killed some. Four, five, six, seven... And then, he is out of bullets. Eight Necros were still alive and were climbing aggressively to maul him, until he's nothing but carcass. Nit tries to check some bullets in his pocket, but due to his fear, he dropped them, only grabbing one.

Nit's eyes went wide in fear as all hope in his soul slowly drained itself out. Little by little, those aggressive things were going to reach him, and will eventually kill him slowly and painful like Hell. With no hope left, Nit stared at his revolver and slowly puts the last bullet he had to use it, not for the Necros — he can't kill all eight at one shot, instead it'll be for himself. With an act of surrender, Nit points the gun at his own mouth and shot himself. His carcass suddenly fell off from the tree branch he was sitting, and the horde of Necros started feasting on his corpse. The moonlight illuminates on his chest where his name tag should be and shows his full name: Nit Wits.

Few hours later, and they were all about to finish Nit's corpse off. However, the Necros heard some gunshots as one of them got shot on the head and die. They all stopped eating Nit's corpse and turned to the source of the gunshot. Right in front of them is a short young woman with a trench coat wrapping around her body. She has short dark hair with a bangs that concealed her eyes within, making her eyes oblivious.

The Necros started growling in anger and charged towards her. But, the young woman takes out a gatling gun from her back, and began firing at them, killing all eight of them in a process. All Necros fell dead on the ground, beneath the dark forest illuminated by the moonlight.

The young woman stopped shooting and sat on a large root of a huge tree. She pulled a book from her backpack and opens it. She flipped a first page, in which it has some writings that said, "It's been two months since it started...."

After that, she flipped the book's contents until she reached the seventeenth page, which is empty. She pulled a pen from her trench coat's pocket and started writing:

"One afternoon, three survivors were in a wilderness..."
