After the poison tailed student finally forced himself to swallow the small piece of undead flesh, the entire hallway became strangely quiet afterward.

Even the distant growls outside the school building suddenly felt farther away.

Meanwhile, Clayne remained standing several steps away while watching the boy carefully without blinking even once.

The poison tailed student himself looked terrified after swallowing the flesh.

His throat moved slightly.

Then afterward, he immediately touched his own neck nervously as if expecting pain to erupt from inside his body at any moment.

Beside him, the other tailed student looked just as tense.

Both boys were practically holding their breaths.

Ten seconds slowly passed.

Nothing happened.

No twitching.

No screaming.

No vomiting.

No violent transformation.

The poison tailed student slowly widened his eyes afterward.

Then immediately, his breathing became hurried from relief.

"I..."

His voice sounded shaky afterward.

"...I’m okay?"

The other student immediately grabbed his shoulders afterward and began checking his face nervously.

"Wait."

"Do you feel dizzy?"

"Are your veins hurting?"

"Your eyes?"

"What about your stomach?"

The poison tailed student quickly shook his head several times afterward.

"No!"

"Nothing!"

"I feel normal!"

His voice gradually became louder afterward.

Meanwhile, Clayne silently continued watching.

Then afterward, another twenty seconds passed.

Still nothing happened.

The poison tailed student suddenly began laughing afterward.

At first the laughter sounded nervous.

Then it gradually became louder and louder.

"Hahaha..."

"Hahahahaha!"

"I didn’t turn!"

His entire face became full of disbelief and excitement afterward.

"I really didn’t turn!"

Beside him, the other tailed student looked completely stunned too.

"You’re serious?"

"You’re actually fine?"

The poison tailed student nodded repeatedly afterward like somebody who had just escaped death itself.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"I swear!"

"Nothing happened to me!"

Then immediately afterward, he suddenly looked toward Clayne with eyes filled with excitement and relief.

"Sir!"

His voice almost cracked from emotion afterward.

"I didn’t become an undead!"

"I’m still normal!"

Meanwhile, Clayne calmly nodded.

Honestly, he already expected something similar.

Before barricading himself inside the classroom several days ago, he already witnessed enough people turning into undead creatures.

Some transformed after getting bitten.

Some transformed after blood exposure.

And several students he saw before transforming began trembling violently within only a few seconds.

Their skin darkened rapidly.

Their eyes became cloudy.

Their bodies convulsed uncontrollably.

Yet this student showed none of those symptoms.

Meaning one thing became clear.

These mutated tailed humans possessed some kind of resistance against the infection.

Meanwhile, the second tailed student slowly looked toward the nearby undead corpses afterward.

His eyes gradually widened.

Then he slowly swallowed his saliva.

"Wait..."

His voice became shaky from excitement afterward.

"...does that mean..."

The poison tailed student instantly understood too.

Then suddenly both boys became ecstatic.

"We can eat these things!"

"We won’t starve anymore!"

"Hahahahaha!"

The poison tailed student immediately rushed toward one of the undead corpses afterward like a starving animal finally seeing food.

Then without hesitation, he grabbed rotten flesh using both hands.

Rip!

The sound echoed disgustingly throughout the hallway afterward.

Meanwhile, his companion immediately followed behind him.

The second student quickly crouched beside another undead corpse and began tearing flesh apart desperately too.

Soon afterward, both of them were devouring rotten undead flesh like starving beasts.

Wet chewing noises echoed repeatedly.

Crunching sounds filled the hallway.

Black blood and rotten fluids dripped continuously from their mouths.

Yet neither looked disgusted anymore.

Instead, both looked happier and happier.

The poison tailed student even laughed loudly while chewing afterward.

"Hahahahaha!"

"We survived!"

"We really survived!"

His companion immediately nodded while stuffing another chunk of flesh into his mouth.

"We’ll never starve again!"

"Never again!"

Then afterward, both suddenly looked toward Clayne excitedly.

"Sir!"

"You should try it too!"

"It actually works!"

"Yes!"

"We can survive now!"

"We don’t need fearing hunger anymore!"

Meanwhile, Clayne slowly stepped backward instead.

Not because he thought himself different from them.

And not because he suddenly regained morality.

No.

The reason was much simpler.

He could clearly see something changing in them.

Very clearly.

Their skin color.

It was slowly becoming darker.

Purple.

Violet.

Dark veins gradually appeared beneath their skin afterward.

Their muscles also looked slightly swollen.

And their eyes.

Their eyes slowly began turning red.

Meanwhile, the two students themselves seemed completely unaware of the changes happening to their bodies.

Instead, they kept eating faster and faster.

The hunger inside them seemed to grow stronger rather than weaker.

The poison tailed student suddenly tore an entire arm off a zombie corpse afterward before biting into it violently.

His companion was no different.

Rotten blood continuously flowed down his chin while his jaw moved unnaturally fast.

Then afterward, their breathing gradually became rougher.

Heavier.

More animalistic.

Their tails also began twitching uncontrollably behind them.

Meanwhile, Clayne narrowed his eyes.

Something was definitely wrong.

The more they ate, the more unstable they became.

Then suddenly, Clayne flicked several strengthened tile fragments.

Flick!

Flick!

Splurt!

Both students instantly screamed afterward.

"AAARRGGHHHH!"

The sharpened tile fragments pierced through their hands and feet instantly.

Blood exploded across the hallway floor.

The two students immediately collapsed heavily afterward.

Yet instead of fear, both suddenly looked furious.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

"Stop interrupting us!"

The poison tailed student glared toward Clayne with bloodshot eyes afterward.

"We finally found food!"

"We’ll never go hungry again!"

Then immediately afterward, despite their ruined limbs, both students began crawling desperately toward the undead corpses again.

Their mouths opened wider than before.

Too wide.

Meanwhile, the flesh around their necks slowly bulged unnaturally.

Their veins darkened even more.

And their eyes had almost completely turned red now.

At that moment, Clayne finally stopped hesitating.

Enough.

Flick!

Flick!

Two strengthened tile fragments exploded outward instantly afterward.

Splurt!

Splurt!

Both tile fragments pierced directly through the students’ heads like bullets.

The hallway immediately became silent.

Both bodies collapsed motionlessly onto the ground afterward.

Meanwhile, Clayne slowly exhaled.

Then he cautiously stepped closer afterward.

Honestly, he planned throwing the bodies outside immediately.

But the moment he approached, both tails suddenly twitched violently.

Then instantly, the blood red tails shot toward him like living tentacles.

Fast.

Extremely fast.

Fortunately, Clayne already kept enough distance.

Without hesitation, he immediately flicked more tile fragments.

Flick!

Flick!

Flick!

The strengthened projectiles sliced directly through both tails repeatedly.

Wet flesh exploded across the floor.

The horrifying appendages immediately fell twitching violently afterward like giant worms cut apart.

Yet even separated from the bodies, the tails still moved crazily.

Meanwhile, Clayne immediately fired even more tile shards afterward.

Again.

And again.

And again.

Until finally the tails stopped moving completely.

Only then did Clayne approach fully.

Then afterward, he grabbed a nearby desk and slowly pushed both corpses toward the shattered window.

Their bodies dragged heavily against the floor while leaving long trails of black blood behind them.

Then finally, Clayne shoved both corpses outward.

The bodies instantly disappeared into the darkness below afterward.

Meanwhile, outside the school building, the girl in school uniform had just finished absorbing the parasitic crystallized core from the fully mutated zombie.

Her breathing remained unstable afterward.

The blood red parasite behind her back slowly wriggled like living muscle while adapting to the energy she absorbed.

Then suddenly, something fell from above.

Fast.

The girl instantly became alert afterward.

She immediately jumped backward before staring upward sharply.

A moment later, two corpses smashed violently onto the ground.

Boom!

Blood splattered across the concrete.

The girl’s eyes immediately widened afterward.

Because both corpses possessed horrifying blood red fleshy tails behind them.
