Shadow In Your Mind [ARC 1- 5]

Chapter 5 - I'm so hungry!

XG 5 - I'm so hungry!

The soft music playing in the washroom was calming, but it felt out of place from the reality that had turned into a horrifying world. The calming music failed to soothe the occupants' frazzled nerves. Instead, it gave a creepy feeling to Wong Xue Guo once she matched it with the pictures of gruesome infectious zombies.

Using the chance when the two ladies were frantically making calls in a hysterical manner that was bound to draw attention from the outside, Wong Xue Guo removed the plastic wrapping of her newly purchased umbrella.

Her hands and legs itched to go out and lock the washroom entrance, but doing that would expose her presence. What calmed down her urge was knowing that locking it would be useless with how loud her neighbours were.

Yelling at them was a fleeting thought that was immediately squashed.

She had purchased the umbrella with the intention of using it as a whacking stick. But seeing those ferocious zombies, her umbrella suddenly lost its imaginary lethality. Her father had told her to keep the ribs and spine, but the weak chicken Wong Xue Guo does not have the strength to rip the umbrella apart, or even know how to.

She could only count on the tip of the umbrella and most of her strength to attack. From movies to dramas and anime, zombies will immediately die from having their brains stabbed.

How hard will a skull be? But those actors and actresses made it look easy to do so...

...Wait a minute!!!

Wong Xue Guo gripped the umbrella tightly until her palm got lines from it. Her mind throbbed painfully, remembering what her father had told her on the phone. He said to stab them through their heart, was that a fail-safe way to kill them?

She remembers her father was in Hong Kong now, but there was not yet any news about the contagious disease in that country!

How did her father discover that weakness? Or had she overestimated her father's involvement when he only meant bad humans that had intentions to kidnap her? Or does he just assume stabbing their heart will stop them?

"May... I'm scared," June sobbed, distracting Wong Xue Guo's thoughts.

"Police will be saving us soon. We just need to wait." May tried to sound confident, but Wong Xue Guo could pick up her fear clearly.

Police can't even handle zombies properly, ah!

She could still remember the news showing that the police got bitten from trying to subdue the aggressive human. Just how many people in the country have turned now, including the police force?

It was lucky that the two scared women being together does not make them even more fearful. The calendar friends were somewhat calm now with each other's support, and Wong Xue Guo's initial decision of being a lone wolf started to waver. Having someone with you in this situation indeed provides help in giving you extra bravery.

Just look at May, who was also afraid but remained strong for June.

"My parents are at home and I told them not to leave the house. Did you tell your parents?" May asked.

"No... I can't call them. They are not picking up their phone," June wailed. "They are going to die!"

"Hey, think positively!" May scolded, even if she did think June's parents were in danger.

"But the cinema..." June sobbed, remembering that her parents were going to watch a movie while waiting for her to finish work. "There's so much blood."

Wong Xue Guo's heart chilled once she heard the word 'cinema'. These two women must have passed by the cinema and seen the bloody aftermath.

Nurul Hanani, Low Lin Ya, both of you had better escaped!
