The sun's rays filtered through the window caressing the face of that girl who was sleeping peacefully.
The alarm began to sound and she began to move little by little waking up from her dream.
She put her right hand under her pillow and took her cell phone to turn off the alarm, it was easier for her to have the cell phone as close as possible so that she could hear the sound of the alarm. She was a heavy sleeper.
She sat on the corner of the bed and stretched her arms out making her bones creak on the spot.
"Uff this is the best."
She put on her slippers and headed to the bathroom to begin her daily routine.
After bathing and drying her brown hair, he dressed in work clothes which consisted of navy pants and a white polo-style shirt with the restaurant's emblem behind her back.
That's right, that girl was a waitress in a great and renowned restaurant that was somewhat far from where she lived.
She finished dressing and she arranged her hair in a very well combed bun because at her work they were not allowed to walk with their hair down due to health rules.
She put a little cream on her face and arms, she did not like to put on makeup since she did not know how to do it either, it is not like she needed it because her skin was very well cared for and she did not think it was necessary, sometimes she just applied a little of glitter on her lips and that was it.
As soon as she finished getting ready she got ready to make her bed, she did not want to leave everything thrown away, she did not want someone to enter her apartment to steal and see that she had a mess that would undoubtedly be very embarrassing for her .
She finished tidying up her room and she headed to the kitchen to prepare a delicious breakfast before going to work.
Her breakfast consisted of toast, scrambled eggs with bacon, her delicious kimchi because she wouldn't eat if there was no kimchi, and a huge, hot and frothy delicious cup of coffee.
That was the best for her, she devoured too slowly because she wanted to savor every bite of her rich breakfast.
"Hum too rich" she drank some coffee.
He finished his breakfast and cleaned the kitchen, he went up to his room going to the bathroom to brush his teeth, he prepared his backpack with what he would need during his day, he took his cell phone and his wallet to put them in his backpack, he took a small black sweater and adjusted The backpack on one shoulder and on the way to the kitchen to store the food he had prepared for his break time, he went to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of water and put everything in his backpack.
She went to the exit and took her keys that were on the table that was on the side of the door that for that same exit and put the safety to protect her home.
One last check that she was not missing anything and she left that building.
She went to the bus stop that will be ten minutes from her building and took a seat with four other people who were waiting for the bus just like her.
As her transport arrived, she began to check her social networks, the first thing she saw was that apparently there was a virus that caused very strange symptoms, she did not pay much attention to it and continued to review her profile.
The bus arrived and everyone started to get on it, she still paid her fare and went to the back since there were empty seats up there.
She took her place and took her headphones out of her backpack to listen to some music, she was looking out the window apparently there was traffic that was strange at that time there was not much.
She received a notification and checked her cell phone, apparently that virus was very dangerous because all the networks talked about it.
"I guess I'll have to do the super in case this gets out of control." Her spirits diminished due to the news.
That virus was strange because apparently it made those people who carried it violent.
"Wow this is strange." she looked at the images that came with the news.
From one moment to another the bus stopped. Yang mi looked ahead, managing to see the immense line of vehicles in front of the bus.
She let out a slight sigh because she imagined that it would take time to get out of that place. She settled into her seat better and continued to check the news, worrying more about that infection.
Thirty minutes had passed and the cars seemed not to want to move forward, she observed several passengers getting off the bus to go on foot to their destinations because they had already lost a lot of time.
"What is going on?"
"I don't know, this is weird."
I hear the two people who were in her seat in front of her.
She let out a sigh and got up in the direction of the operator because she did not explain what was happening so that they did not advance.
" What's going on?." he asked the driver as she leaned in a little so she could hear him.
"I don't know exactly what's going on miss but it seems this is going to take longer."
Yang mi kept looking straight ahead, unable to see anything.
"She thought there was an accident." the girl looked at him: "You can see the police cars and ambulances over there." I point to the place.
Yang mi looked where the operator was pointing and there were indeed several ambulance cars a few meters from where they were.
Yang mi did not want to walk because she was still too far from her destination but apparently she had no other because it was too late, so she would have to walk and once the traffic was past she could take a taxi to get there faster. She let out another sigh.
" I can go down?."
" Sure, miss." The operator opened the door so that the girl could get out of the vehicle.
" Thanks a lot." Yang my thanks with a smile.
"Take care and have a good day." The operator replied kindly.
Yang mi thanked him with a nod and waved his hand towards the operator. Once under he put the cell phone and headphones in her backpack and adjusted it on her shoulders and started to work with her.
He still had some time but he didn't like to arrive just in time so he accelerated her pace as he looked behind her at the bunch of people who were walking to her destinations.
There were more and more people, until suddenly those people who were in front of her began to retreat.
In her faces you could see fear, Yang mi was surprised but she decided to step aside so as not to collide with them. She was debating whether to continue or not, since she did not know why those people had run.
"What is going on?" asked a man who was next to her.
"I don't know, but he thought it's not good." she tried to observe what was happening.
She decided to get a little closer to understand why all the fuss, when she was close enough she managed to observe a crowd of people, several injured being treated in ambulance vehicles and many more police pointing at a man who was lying on a puddle of blood.
He couldn't get a good look at the person lying down, but from the puddle he assumed that the man was dead because he seemed not to move.
Immediately the wounded who were in the ambulances woke up suddenly and attacked those who were near them, biting anywhere and ripping their skin off, chaos unleashed, she screamed when she saw how the person she thought dead got up so fast and pounced on an officer to bite his jugular and rip it off like nothing.
All the other officers started shooting and people started running so as not to get hurt.
The people who were in the ambulance also came out to attack anyone who was nearby and in the same way tear off skin.
Yang mi noticed that those injured people had something in their eyes but because of the distance, he did not know what. She guessed that this was the virus they had mentioned on the news, but the symptoms they described were not the correct ones she was observing.
They were worse.
What kind of virus causes you to eat someone else?
What she saw she knew that just one bite was enough to infect you, she had to do everything possible not to be bitten.
One of them approached where she was and without thinking she ran towards where the other people were going, while she ran she observed that some infected ran faster than others.
She went down to the road because there were many people on the sidewalk that prevented her from running, she realized that one of her rapids was about to reach her, she panicked because she did not want to be infected.
The one who was chasing her from her turned away from her because someone had fallen and went to that person.
Yang mentally thanked me, but she also lamented for that man, but now was not the time to help others but to save herself.
Several people got out of their cars and ran safeguarding their lives, more and more were the infected who were chasing them.
"Where do so many come from?!." she screamed at nothing.
She wouldn't stop running, she didn't know exactly where to go.
Someone pushed her causing her chest to hit the front of a truck and she fell to the ground but she immediately crawled under the vehicle so as not to be seen by those infected.
She brought her hand on her chest to try to make the pain disappear but it was impossible, that impact had been too abrupt and painful, she wanted so much to cry but it was not the right time, also they had infected close to where she was she found.
While under the truck she heard a low noise, she tried to see what it was and realized that in front of the truck there was a place where there was a boy at the door of the truck making signs for her.
The boy told her to keep quiet, while he watched people run around and once he did not see any infected near her, he told the girl to go out so that she would enter the place.
She did what the boy indicated and entered the establishment and thanked the boy for her help. He just nodded as he tried to help more people.
Yang mi decided to stay away from windows and doors for fear that they will enter, she settled behind the counter and she sat on the floor so she could go unnoticed.
She brought her hand to her chest because that area still hurt too much, she looked around her and noticed that there were too many people there, most of them were crying, she knew they were scared, she was scared too, but she had to stay calm. faced with that situation.
She felt discomfort in her back and took a hand behind it, she noticed that she still had the backpack with her, after all the fuss she had not lost her backpack, as soon as she had a chance she would call her parents her to see how they were.
"This looks like a horror movie right?" asked a girl next to her.
Yang mi looked at her that girl had black hair on her shoulders, she was dressed as if she had gone out for a run.
" Certain." her response was curt.
"My name is Haneul."
"Yang my."
They stopped talking because they heard a growl on the side of where they were, both girls stood up and walked away from the man who was making those noises.
Yang mi observed how the skin of that subject was yellow and began to release a terrible stench, he observed his body and noticed a bite on his left hand, he already knew what would happen and without thinking he looked for an object to be able to fend.
"Be careful it is infected." notice to others.
"How do you know?." Haneul was too scared.
"Look at his left hand." Yang mi kept looking at the subject.
Everyone fell back as soon as that infected one stood up, Yang mi saw better his completely white eyes, his rotten teeth, everything in him seemed to have died.
How was it possible that that virus would cause that?
What kind of virus was it?
She knew that this was not normal, she had found a broomstick that, as she could, broke in two, that was better than having nothing.
That man was still standing until he ran after the woman who was nearby, Yang mi noticed that he was fast.
That fast attacked the woman biting on her shoulder, everyone screamed as they tried to get out, some tried to help calm the infected one.
Yang mi knew he had to do something, but what? This was not like in the movies, was it?
Without much thought she went to the utility room if he was lucky maybe he would find something stronger than a broomstick.
She rummaged all over the place until she came across a metal tube.
"Perfect," he took the object.
She left there and walked to where they had that subject on the floor, she without hesitation and wanting not to make a mistake raised the metal tube over her head and with all the force she possessed, she struck the skull of the infected person, splitting it instantly and splashing blood and parts of brains to her and to those who held the man.
Without waiting for her, she did the same with the woman who had been bitten and that she was devouring another man who was already dead.
The whole place was silent before what had just happened.
Yang mi was breathing heavily, looked at his hands, looked at his clothes, both stained with blood.
" What did you do?." the disgust was immediate.
"You killed those two people."
"Yang my." Haneul approached the brunette.
"They weren't people anymore, so don't kill anyone, at this moment it's not seeing for them but for us who are alive, we have to support each other to survive whatever is happening now."
Silence was what she got, everyone analyzed the words of that brave girl while crying and hiding from everything.
"I don't know about you but I won't stay here until someone deigns to save us."
Yang mi went through the kitchen, she knew that every place had a back door and indeed she came to it, she opened it a little and poked her head out making sure there was nothing, she tried to leave but someone took her arm preventing her from go away.
" Where will you go?." Haneul had followed her.
"I don't know, but I'm not staying here, you should do the same and stay safe."
"I'm not as brave as you." Haneul was scared.
"I'm not brave either but we have to do everything we can to survive." Yang mi looked at the girl, he liked her, "If you want you can come with me."
"I don't know, I'm scared and I also have to look for my family." Haneul didn't want to be a burden to the brunette girl.
"I get it, I'll go and you try to survive." He said looking into the girl's eyes trying to convey her security to her.
" I will do everything possible." Haneul smiled at the brunette, "Take good care of Yang mi."
"Maybe if we're lucky we'll see each other again."
" Clear."
One last smile and Yang mi came out into the alley, walked out of that place and poked her head out into the street, there were no infected near her.
She came out very cautiously and holding the tube tightly in her hands.
She had to walk to the main street, which was a bit far away but there was her apartment, she had to get there and take everything she needed to start a trip in search of some shelter.
With a fast step and being alert, she went to her destination, she reached a street that was somewhat inclined, there was little left to reach the main street.
She kept walking and in the distance she saw a group of people running towards her being chased by other infected.
" There can not be." she wailed.
She without waiting for her but she ran where she came to escape from those infected.
Apparently getting out of there would be very difficult but she had to do whatever it took to keep living.
