The Dawn of Destruction || Kang Taehyun

Chapter 25

But getting to the library wasn't easy either. On our way we were attacked by zombies. Our uniforms got into even worse conditions while several parts of our bodies were injured.

I myself had a minor injury around my wrist but it was nothing as compared to what happened to Beomgyu. But on the better side, it was his left hand that was cut off and not the right.

I mean, it would've been better if neither of his arms were cut off but it was the worst case scenario. He didn't give up tho. Beomgyu fought all the zombies with great courage.

While Taehyun, he just looked mad. He looked like a crazy person. He was acting like one. He seemed to be mad at both himself as well as at the zombies as he was showing no mercy and killing each of the zombies as they approached us.

No matter even if some zombies were his own classmates.

After what seemed like a year's worth of time, we finally had found the library at sight. There were no zombies around in the hallway near the library which was a good thing.

But it didn't change the fact that MANY zombies were pasted onto the library's giant door. Oh well, shit. With the same expression of 'we are doomed' all of us exchanged looks.

What do we do now? We in no way can get past them without any zombies taking us over from the back. Professor Namjoon should've given it a thought before summoning us here.

Just when I had this thought of Professor Namjoon, Yeonjun suddenly pointed at a spot over the zombies' heads. All of us looked through the glass window into the library to see Professor Namjoon inside the library. He looked like he was standing at a platform because his upper body was visible over the zombies' heads.

It was after a few seconds that he had finally spotted up. His face lit up a little as he waved furiously. How could he be happy at such a situation? None of us waved back. He seemed to have been ashamed as he slowly took away his hand.

But then he seemed like he remembered something he should've remembered earlier. He pointed to our right with his pointy finger and then pressed the exact same finger on his lips.

We turned out gaze to the left to see a classroom. The classroom was empty. I was actually a little amazed to see that there were zero zombies in there but then thought they must've been to join the others at the library.

Wait... Was he telling us to settle in this empty classroom that was lacking a door instead of going to the library. Then why did he even ask us to come here? Was that what he meant?

All of us looked back and forth at Professor Namjoon and the classroom but he was repeating the exact same gesture. "He's trying to tell us to stay in the classroom quietly while he does something to the zombies, idiots." Taehyun muttered.

"But there are no doors. What if the zombies decide to go in. There's just a single entrance. We'll be stuck." Yeonjun reasoned. "He must have a plan before telling us to do something stupid." Taehyun said in a matter-of-fact tone.

But the others were hesitant. "Don't come if you don't want to." Taehyun went into the classroom. I glanced at the others. They were staring at Taehyun. They still seemed to hesitate.

I decided to take a stand to Taehyun. I trust Professor Namjoon and Taehyun. I walked into the classroom. Taehyun was leaning on the wall by the door. I didn't utter a word but just leaned on the wall beside him.

Within a while, the others had joined us too. Unlike when friends meet and they have tons of stuff to talk about, we had not even a word to say to each other. We just stood there in silence among while the zombies were screeching out there.

Just then, suddenly we heard a shrill noise. I understood at once that it was the sound of the school bell. I realised what Professor Namjoon was doing. He was luring the zombies to the other side.

There were school bells at distances across the school. One was a little away from the library and he rung it. So, the zombies would sprint off towards the bell.

The plan was working. The zombies were running away to the other side, away from the library. "We should go." Beomgyu who was the nearest to the door said after we were aware that the zombies had left.

"I'll go first." Taehyun said, determined. He peeped out, left and right. "It's safe." He said. He walked out first, Beomgyu, me, Hueningkai and Yeonjun followed.

The library had 3 entrance barriers. I know, that's wierd. It's as if they have some gold hidden in the books. There was a giant glass door whose glass was really hard and I believe no human force can break it (I have no idea what sorcery it is), followed by the jail grills that come from from either side and at last, square grill bars that dropped from the above.

On top of that, it also had a shutter but Professor must've decided not to put it down so that he can see if students are coming.

The barrier at the end was lifted, while the second one was in progress. Professor Namjoon paced back and forth, impatiently as the second barrier was taking time to get emerged into the walls on the either side.

He didn't wait till the barrier had gone away completely. While it was halfway through, he impatiently paced forward and started to unlock the lock that was on the glass door.

By this time we had started pacing towards the library door while trying not to make any noise. By the time we had reached the door, Professor Namjoon was done unlocking the door.

However, owing to our luck, the bell had somehow stopped ringing. "Dammit I told them to make it keep ringing." Professor Namjoon muttered. "Lock this after you get in!!" He quickly threw the keys at Taehyun who had reached the door and ran into the library.

Panting, owing to their tall height and longer legs, the guys managed to run in ahead of me. I took a quick glance over my shoulder. The zombies were coming closer.

I ran with all my might and managed to slide in. Taehyun had successfully entered too but the problem was that the zombies were here now.
