Work Text:
Standing there all alone surrounded by the dead bodies , you could see a silhouette of crawling bodies from a far ...
In the middle of that chaos, you could hint of a standing person in his twenties .
Valk stood there in the middle of nowhere; in the middle of what we used to call a city.
She stood there silently as she witnessed the zombies crawling in order to get to her, even though she knew that she had to move if she wanted to live for another day, her feet sticked to the ground.
As she raised her phone to sent the last piece of information she got to solve the mystery behind what happen to the world , she said as she sighed
Valk : " and by that they would at least find a way to get the fungi out of their bodies"
She took a few steps avoiding the corpses, heading toward the skyscraper , she entered it and looked for the elevator, though just before reaching the elevator a half zombie with only his upper body caught her leg , so she raised her sword and planted it in the head of the zombie. Although it's harsh status the zombie moved a lot before dying and released her leg .
Valk continued her walks toward the elevator .. She checked if it was still working and went into it, as the elevator was about to close she could witness a group of zombies reaching the front door of the building,
she muttered with a smile while she watched the door closing and the zombies trying to reach her .
Valk : " keep crawling … keep crawling to the end of your days you filthy fungi because you will never reach me"
Once the door closed completely she pressed the last flour button as she was willing to go to the roof.
The door opened with a lot of noise as it was a long time since the last time it worked or even got repaired, unfortunately that noise attracted the zombie's attention as they went to check what’s in there .
As a preparation for what's coming, Valk held her twin sword and got ready to eliminate all the enemies on her way up to the roof.
She moved her sword and controlled them as if they were a part of her body. She looked fascinating as she hit a zombie with every move as if she was dancing,
once she reached the stairs to the roof there was no moving life form except from her in that floor anymore,
She climbed the stairs and reached door that separate her from the roof, she took a pin from her pocket and opened the closed door with it, then she whispered as she took her first steps in the roof closing the door again behind her .
Valk : " well i guess Lith was right when he taught us how to open the doors "
She continued walking in the roof reaching the edge,then looked at beijing city or at least what remains of it.
She looked again to the sky to see the beautiful sun rise announcing the beginning of a new day in this cruel world , she thought to herself .
Valk : ‘finally ‘
She moved forwards and stood in the middle of the roof looking at the sky once more, she pulled a little box from her bag,she opened and took out the last cigarette that existed in the box … she lit it up and took a final long sip before muttering.
Valk :"Ray would have been a nice company now"
Valk looked as the smoke disappears into the air , she sat down in the ground when she thought .
Valk : ‘let me have a nap before ending the things’
She put out the cigarette then lay down, put one arm under her head while placing the other on her eyes, and like that she had her nap before facing a new day...after this tiring night .
...
When Valk woke up the sun had completely risen, She was willing to complete her mission, No their mission before heading out. She held her phone and put it against her bag, then opened the camera and started to record .
…
The moment she ended recording she sent the video to all her social media then closed her phone. Just after that, Valk could hear the door getting punched .
‘it must be the zombies’ ‘ they must crawl all the way up here when i was asleep’ she thought .
But Valk did not mind the door; she just stood after lifting her gun and checked the bullets.
When she saw that the gun was almost full she waited for a minute then gave her back to the door, heading to the edge of the roof.
She stood in front of the edge , looked at the city once more and let out a sigh of relief as she climbed the edge wall.
She looked back as the door cracked open.
Valk looked at the zombies for the last time as she said .
Valk : " I told you before you idiot fungi you’ll never be able to reach me "
She moved one leg back as if she was stepping into the void, and just when the zombies were about to reach her she leaned back falling from the skyscraper.
As she was falling she looked at her gun, pulled out the safety valve then pointing the gun to her head .
. Bang.
The End.

“ Record Plays”
" Hello everyone! This is Valk Martello ,
If we ever got in touch with each other then you might know that my real name is Taiba Wistaria.
As you all know the world is taken by the zombies and i am pretty sure that you have heard of Lupinos at least once , that if you haven’t meet them in person before.
Our group consist of six members in total: 'Me , Mirai (Alissa) , Kaz (Mark) , Lith (Leo) , Rig (Jinho) , Ray (Kai) ' .
The Lupinos (We) were known due to our efforts in eliminating the zombies around the settlements areas we came across,
Then let me introduce myself again, this is Valk Martello the leader of Lupinos , it is currently 2029 , ten years after the cataclysm.
You might wonder where is the other members since we used to show all our faces in our videos, well I AM the last Survivor from Lupinos , all the members had already died , and i will not last long too .
I have reached our goal and as you all know every journey must come to an end and this is ours, this video must seem like a suicide message , if you see it this way then it is.
This is my last message for you, I am not going to lie but i don’t really think that our previous world really worth saving, but here i am passing the mission to you! get rid of the zombies for the sake of the next generations.
You might not know this but Lupinos’s mission was to find information now it is your turn to use these information .
After the records end all the information that we ever got either we had sent it already or not they all will be in a huge single fill of pdf , that pdf will be sent just right after this video, you have to use these information in order to eliminate all the enemies .
I’ll not beg you but get rid of these filthy fungus , i do not care when you will use it just get rid of them , it is okay if you think that you could not do it .
However YOU! Yeah you governments that is still alive till now, especially You who worked with us Lupinos you better not give an excuse or I will chase you to the end of your days even if I die.
If you did not do anything about it , I put a curse on you , you'll all suffer the worst death, let the zombies eats you alive, let a miracle happen and you still have your consensus while the fungi control your body, I wish no one of you would stay alive.
I have to admit that my only regret is that I met my sibling from anything except blood in such a situation. I really wish that maybe in another life we will be able to live such a long life together.
please lord in another dimension let us have our happy life together, Let’s meet again in another life, my dearest siblings .
This was Valk Martello from Lupinos, hope you will live long enough to see the peaceful world again "

In other place…
Taiba woke up suddenly , she felt like she was running she looked around her and thought.
Taiba : ‘ Did I fall asleep while we were watching TV ?’
The one that she was laying at moved his head to her and said .
Alissa : " hmm?"
Alissa : " What's wrong Taiba ? Did you have a nightmare?"
Taiba looked in confuse for a second then replayed .
Taiba : "Maybe , I don't know , I don't remember, but I'm pretty sure it was a long one ."
Kai nodded his head from the other sofa and said.
Kai : " If you don’t remember it then it must not be important ."
Taiba mumbled : "Probably "
Mark lifted his head from Kai’s shoulder, looked at them and then at Jinho who was playing video games silently in front of them then said .
Mark : "go back to sleep, Leo didn’t end cooking our lunch yet. "
Jinho rolled his eyes as he said : ‘"You know she will stay awake, now she woke up ."
Then he said, directing his word to Taiba .
Jinho : ‘"come play some games with me instead Genshin Impact had just dropped a new region "
Taiba : " I'm coming , just let me check if Leo has anything for us to eat ."
Jinho nodded his head thinking.
Jinho : "I hope he made some dessert for us"
Taiba got up the sofa leaving the blanket on Alissa, as she stepped in front of the other sofa she messed up Kai and Mark’s hair.
She entered the kitchen then leant on Leo putting her arm around his shoulder then asked .
Taiba : " hey... My dear brother, do you have something for us to eat until you are done cooking ?"
Leo sighs as he thinks to himself .
Leo : ‘ here we go again , thanks god that i actually made a dessert for them ‘
He moved his head to look at Taiba completely then said .
Leo : " Go to the fridge, I made something for you all ."
Taiba looked at him with a smile when she said .
Taiba : " you make a good wife. "
Taiba : ‘" if you weren’t my brother i would fall for you . "
Leo looked at her in disgust then commented .
Leo : "ew .. i thought you were aroace. "
Taiba laughed at his face and said.
Taiba : " that doesn’t mean i can’t appreciate your work darling~"
Leo looked at her in more disgust then said while pointing to the kitchen door .
Leo : " take the food and get out of my face Taiba. "
Taiba went to the to take the food then went to the living room while saying .
Taiba : " fine.. Fine .. I still think you’ll make a good wife though ."
Leo shouted at her.
Leo : "GET OUT "
Taiba continued laughing while she put the food on the table, the other looked at her in amusement, while Jinho and Alissa were about to die from laughing too.
Taiba sat with Jinho as she took the game unit and started to play with him, and each one of them reached out for food from time to time .
Alissa and Kai watched them playing while eating.
On the other hand Mark kept using his phone while eating too .
They all sat there with a smile, enjoying their day while hearing Leo shouting from the kitchen.
