State of Emergency

"1 hour and 45 minutes left before the undead outnumber the living, Host." The system said.

Soldiers are stationed on the other side of the Namsan Tunnel 3 to Seoul, while setting up container vans as main barricade from the south of Seoul. A platoon of soldiers was assigned to guard and maintain the order of this area.

A few minutes before the group retreat back to base and a squad takes over the night duty. The snipers saw some movements in the tunnel; several figures were entering it plus the light coming from the train.

"Movements! Subjects are approaching to our location, looks like a group 10 people." Soldier 1 said.

"Please verify if they're infected or not, Over." said.

"Where did they come from? I can't see them clearly. Report that to base" Soldier 2 said.

"Visibility unclear, Unable to verify, Over" Soldier 1 said.

Unable to verify their status from afar; the soldiers are instructed to shoot them down at all cost.

"Permitted to fire, Over" by said.

Hearing the permission to engage target, the snipers took the position and adjust their sights. Ready to pull the trigger, they saw flashes of light and a girl singing Aloha ʻOe so they realize the newcomers are not infected.

Proudly swept the rain by the cliffs

As it glided through the trees

Still following ever the bud

The ʻāhihi lehua[a] of the vale...

Su-an failed to sing this song during her music class, holding her father's hand while walking their way into the tunnel.

Omar used the flashlight from the Ak-47, w/ his enhance physique he saw people across the tunnel and send a SOS signal to them.

Using 3 short flashes followed by 3 long flashes and 3 more short flashes to the direction tunnel's exit to say SOS/ help is needed by the group.

"Survivors are approaching!" Soldier 1 shouted to everyone, they stood up and ran the tunnel. Helping the tired group of Omar who's battling zombies all day long and he personally would like to sleep in his bed.

"Please come this way for inspection, men in the blue tent and women in the red tent. After filling up the forms, you'll receive an ID no. and will be given task in base for manpower." Soldier two explained.

"Ahemm!" the female cleared her throat, her eyes were feasting on Omar's body and saliva is flowing down unconsciously.

Trying her best to clean the mess, she blushed like a ripe tomato and focuses on her task. Omar's body is the result of the system upgrade and he's kinda look like Captain America.

"My goodness"

"What the heck"

"Look at his body"

"Good luck to my eldest child having this man."

Even the men are shocked to see him barenaked w/ only underwear. To fully checked for any injuries caused by the zombies.

From visual inspection, blood test and swab sample are the few procedures they undertaken before they could go to the safezone and obtain a residence.

"Please go to parking area right after you're done and we'll be going along w/ you guys since it's time for the night duty." Soldier 2 said, as he walks to the army truck.

"Yes, Sir" everyone replied.

Omar was first to finished; he waited outside the women examination room and helps other soldiers/members get on the truck.

The men finished faster than he imagined and last to go into truck was Seong-kyeong, Sang-hwa's pregnant wife.

"All on board, let's go home." Soldier 2 said.

"Broohm!!!" the army truck started going their way to Seoul, at this speed they'll arrived at Yongsan Garrison during dinner time. It took them 15 minutes to finish w/ all procedures and filling up the forms.

"1 hour and 30 minutes left before the undead outnumber the living, good luck Host." The system said.

Estimated time of arrival is 40 minutes, leaving less than 45 minutes until the zombie apocalypse and humans fights the undead.

Closing his eyes, he entered the system and looked around the store for something useful for long term this time.

Praying there's no trouble in the road, he hope they arrived faster and earlier to avoid disaster brought by this horde undead. This type of monster is pretty strong, fast runners and have certain intelligence in them.

They observe the surroundings to determine their prey, chased them like a mad dog and overwhelmed everything w/ sheer numbers. They also sensitive to sound, but darkness hinder their movement and zombies became less aggressive/ then return roaming the area.

"Do you have any news w/ my members, Omar oppa?" Irene sat beside him, while everybody feel asleep in sitting position.

"They're in safe hands, Ben is taking care of them and we'll be seeing them later so no need to worry. " Assuring about her members, he gave her a pillow to hug instead his arm since Irene Dad eyes were shooting lasers.

"You're the best, Omar oppa." Irene happily grabbed the neck pillow, as she lean on him and a dozen eyes were ready to tear him apart so his spread arms saying "What can I do about it".

"Don't be noisy, let's take a rest and it's still a long way to Seoul". Omar said, he to some blanket, the night was getting colder and he distributes it to his fellow survivors.

"Thanks again, Omar oppa." Irene followed him took a nap, exhausted from running and protecting her love one's including this guy beside her. Irene first impression on him was timid, a good driver and listens well to others.

Looking at his calm expression, she's lucky to have someone like him in this chaotic times and able to be w/ her family. Irene confirmed that she's someone important to him, after she stopped him from leaving w/ a simple hug and he continuously assured her that everything will be fine.

Fighting their pets turned into monsters, passengers turned man-eaters and bad guys on their way for survival to Seoul. Entering the city, the once lively and vibrant city was gloomy. Cars were abandoned in the streets; stores are partly destroyed and ransacked.

Even though the city secured its perimeter, over 9 million inhabitants living here and less than half a million active forces are spread in the country which impossible control such ten times their number. 12 Out of the 25 districts were under their control while the rest were under chaebols and local gangsters since the start of the chaos.

The government base in Yongsan Garrison in the Yongsan District, the rest district of the districts Mapo, Jung, Seongdong, Dobong, Seongbuk, Jongno, Gangbuk, Yeongdeungpo, Dongjak, Seocho and Gangnam.

In these districts, ordinary people are still active in protest and riot police let them waste energy, as the curfew hour is about to start and to maintain order in these areas. This delayed them 15 more minutes on the road, while police urge the public to return in their homes before they return to base .

"30 minutes left before the undead number infest 80 % of the world's population and animals undergone mutation, good luck Host." the system said.

"Salute!!!" soldiers assigned in the south post entrance were surprised to see a close aide of the commander here.

"At ease, has the army in Namsan Tunnel 3 w/ survivors arrived?" Captain Speke asked,

"Not yet, but we'll inform you as soon as they arrived, Captain!" he replied, trying his best not to annoyed or made the captain dissatisfied w/ him.

"Its fine, I'll personally like to meet them and a good friend is among them so you can back to your post." Captain Speke said

"Have a cup of coffee inside, Captain." he said.

"Lead the way, soldier". Captain Speke said

"Yes, Captain!" the soldier along w/ his sprint to their quarters and poured hot water to newly bought mugs and coffee yesterday.

"Here it is, sir" the soldier handed a cup of hot coffee, while slowly drinking it; he recalled what Ben said about Omar circumstances that lead him here. Ben leave the service due to frustration in the system and the government repeatedly experience coup while Omar loss his direction after his mother passed away.

To change some scenery, Ben invited in his driver/guard gig in Seoul, South Korea and help Omar engaged in work rather being idle at home. He was shocked hearing Omar able to talk and learned Korean in a short time since this dude is lazy about studying.

This guy is really a genius in his own, second in everything he competed and an excellent soldier. His only shortcoming is his introvert personality, he can relate w/ people who has same hobbies as him. Ben also mentioned that Omar is in love to a Kpop idol, it was Irene of girl group Red Velvet and he was happy that his buddy is getting out of his comfort zone.
