"I think... Deathster in this forest over 1"
Leah looked straight into my eyes as soon as she heard what I just said.
"You mean, Nels?"
I took a deep breath, putting as much oxygen into my lungs as I somehow felt congested, like I was overloaded with carbon dioxide.
"Lo know when we go back to the tent to take HP and other important items?"
I asked for doubt which was immediately answered with a quick nod by Leah.
I started to tell Selena what Selena had revealed to me, that she saw Sean standing looking at us doing nothing.
At that time Jason forbade Selena from saying anything to us because she wasn't sure what really happened to Sean. But after I found out about the deathster, I started to relate to the traits Selena described.
Sean stood up straight, unlike the other zombies. Looking straight at an object that is none other than me. Yeah, even though I hid the fact Sean saw me from Leah. I'm just saying Sean saw a certain object.
As for Sean's reason for just looking at me, I'm still wondering and haven't found the answer yet.
"Don't... Sean's a deathster too?"
"Maybe?"
I answered Leah's question with a question too, not too sure about my assumptions.
But if Sean is a deathster, I wouldn't be too surprised considering Sean already has the human criteria needed to become a deathster.
Mr. Popular it has stamina that sometimes makes me shake my head. Almost every sports club he's been in. Regarding intelligence do not ask, he never came out of the top 5 of the school's general champion.
So is Sean a deathster? Looks like I have to make sure of this with Jason, tomorrow. If true, then it is certain there are 2 deathsters that we have seen so far, the figure that appeared during the zombie attack and also Sean.
"But it's possible that the person who looked at us from behind the trees yesterday was Sean"
"Maybe, we don't see it very clearly"
I frowned when I heard Leah's guess. No, even if I can't see the figure's face clearly, I'm sure he's not Sean. For some reason, my instincts keep saying that the figure is not Sean.
"No, they're different figures"
Reply sure.
"Why don't you think it's Sean?"
I sat down from my sleeping position. Tilting my head and starting to think about why I wasn't sure that the person looking at us from behind the trees was a different person to Sean.
"Don't... You're a fan of Sean's, aren't you?" Ledek Leah who instantly made me throw a fierce gaze.
"Well, too. Miss Keong and the Prince of the school"
Huh huh? that's right! I don't have the energy to join Sean's admirers. Just thinking about being Sean's admirer was enough to give me a headache. Imagine how much energy I have to spend on her activities, jostling to see her, facing the other fans. Even talking about Sean alone can consume half the energy stock I have in 1 day.
"Sorrys. I'm kidding, Nels"
Leah continued with a laugh, not at all reflecting the attitude of people apologizing. His eyes kept on rolling down, looking tempting to me.
Leah chuckled even more, even her voice echoing through the night, making Jason and Selena wake up and look at us questioningly. They just got back to sleep after Leah assured us that we were just joking.
"Yes, yes Nels. Sorry this time"
Said Leah again after painstakingly stopping her laughter.
I was just rolling a panted eyeball. How can Leah think that I am a fan of Sean? Can't he see my neutral attitude that tends to get fed up when he sees Sean's fans?.
"It's my instinct to say that the person we're seeing isn't Sean. As for the reason I don't know"
It was clear to me at length that was again responded to with a meaningful nod and a seductive gaze from Leah.
I was angry and laid my body down again. Lying facing the opposite direction of the dimly-witted Leah sounded holding back laughter.

The Christoff Research Center
"I'm handing Jason over to you"
Alfonso said as he handed over a small purple box
"There are several vaccine vials. Use it when you're desperate, however you need to make sure Jason's safe"
A1 nodded and saluted. He then received the box that Alfonso offered, keeping it in the safest place.
Phillia looked at A1 who was now fresh fit. Alfonso's panic almost caused A1 to die for free. If A1 had gone straight through the forest without a chance to say goodbye to Phillia, it would have been a waste of stem cells that they gave A1. In addition, of course, Alfonso will lose his most loyal aide and never refute any orders, even kill though.
"Jason must survive. For Jason's location, you just follow the coordination point here"
Alfonso pointed at a thin screen that was similar to HP but thin like a business card. The screen has the same function as GPS. It's just different from regular GPS, the screen only displays a map of the whereabouts of someone who has been injected special chips.
Actually the chip is only intended for research objects in the Christoff research center. It's just that Alfonso accidentally put a chip in Jason's body without Jason noticing, just the night before his son's departure to a school farewell camping event.
Alfonso had already guessed that the zombie matter would explode in the near future. Moreover, his beloved son was deliberately approaching the forbidden area.
The fall of the Christoff research center's transport car was only 1 week from Jason's school departure schedule.
"There's someone I have to look after"
Again Alfonso remembered Jason's words when he strongly opposed the desire of his only son to leave.
Who is the person that his son meant?. Is Leah, the daughter of her neighbor who since childhood has been with Jason even they were born at the same time and in the same hospital.
But, all this time Jason was just acting normal, even tend to be indifferent to Leah. So, who's the guy Jason wants to protect? Was his son without him realizing he had fallen in love with someone?.
Ah, I don't know. Alfonso rubbed his head in pain. If Jason has fallen in love with someone, Alfonso is not too dizzy. The important thing is that the child can survive.
On second thought, Alfonso now realized something. If in terms of attitude, Jason looks more like his quiet and reserved wife. So, when in love, Jason is more likely to be like him. Possessive and protective, even willing to do anything for his loved ones, as Alfonso did to his wife.
Ah, it seems true a saying that says 'fruit falls not far from the tree'.
