STERILE: My Bottom Is A Zombie

Chapter 27: (STERILE: Paranoid)

"Deus!"

A person's voice is like a fresh breeze on the shore, if the place were still there. Imagine the wind blowing, stroking your hair and face slowly. It is with great pleasure that you welcome the sun that shines upon the Earth in the morning. You take someone for a walk barefoot enjoying the soft sensation of white sand, then you sit and stare at the reflection of sunlight on the sea with your beloved.

Really fun.

If you can capture it with a photo, you will display it in a special place. Close your eyes 'to catch a moment--hey! Your heart moves softly and your heart warms so inevitably you will look like a madman. Yeah, crazy guy!

Look at! You smile to yourself.

But unfortunately, once the truce between the undead and the humans was fired, everything changed, as if a dream. When you opened your eyes, the atmosphere you wanted to see vanished, like dust grains flying in the wind.

"Deos."

Lucky he was here.

"Deos."

That's the call Hideo wants to hear. A special name for him, just himself. The warmth that permeates the soul, more than anything else. Hideo watched the Throne. His pair of little legs moved in rhythm, bringing his tall body no more than the chin of the lover closer.

No doubt Hideo wants to welcome too if there is no military around him.

The grip on the weapon grew firmer, but the Throne did not care. Without fear of being shot he approached the center of the crowd and made the security forces of Atlantis spread open the way. The throne jumped and then lunged at Hideo with a hug as an expression of anxiety mixed with longing.

"I'm happy to see you again" said Hideo Lirih.

"Deos. Deo," said the Throne repeatedly. "Deo is finally home."

Both hands of the Throne were coiled around the neck, while both of his feet surrounded Hideo's waist. The throne does not want to be separated from Hideo. A pair of round eyes belonging to the Throne stared fixedly at the man in front of him, as if he knew that his lover had just struggled with death.

"Of course I go home, because I want to see the Throne."

"They said ... Deo's sick. Tha doesn't understand. Deo ... What pain?"

Hideo's two big hands grabbed the two sides of the Throne's cheek. He was confused how to explain it? His situation was short-lived and he himself could not draw any conclusions before speaking to Leony. Hideo took a slow breath. His chest was a little sore even though his body condition was stable.

"I'm fine," Hideo chose to put on a joyous face even though his mind was full of questions. "Is the Throne a good boy?"

The throne nodded its head, making its hair bangs sway gently. "Ehm, Tha .. so child .. good."

Seeing the Throne in his arms, Hideo couldn't bear to hold her tightly. Both of the burly hands that were originally used to take up arms are now embracing the Throne. Don't worry about weight. The body of the Throne is light in Hideo's arms.

For a moment the man was sad, because according to Leony the weight of the Throne did not increase from a few days ago. Again, the problem of digestion. Okay, for this matter Hideo needs to be a little anxious.

Hideo grabbed his girlfriend. Loving and filled with love, their two lips fused together, negating the distance between them. It is true that there is a saying that 'love makes people blind'. They are not aware if there are pairs of eyes that are staring in panic, or maybe envy.

"You kissed her, Hideo?!"

Leony's wide-open eyelids indicated he was very surprised. As a scientist he certainly remembered Professor Hartman's words, that there was a virus in the saliva of the Throne. The professor had warned him not to let Hideo be near the Throne. But what appeared in front of his two eyes had gone beyond the limit.

There's something Leony's been missing all along.

Leony.

"Hideo, stay away from her! Stay away from the Throne!" ban Leony from his best friend.

"Why and what's wrong?" Hideo asked without releasing the Throne for a second.

"... Just stay away from him!"

Hideo was aghast because Leony insisted on banning, even though his best friend had already approved even though there was still a little anxiety. Leony's facial features showed no signs of relaxing or the woman was joking. Hideo was wondering 'what is this really? There must be something hidden.'

"Why is your face like that?" hideo asked for an answer, but Leony instead switched the conversation by asking another question.

"I should have been wondering since when were you that close and that intimate? Did you forget about the rules? Did you forget that---"

"Yes! I know the rules. I know that the Throne-Tahta is still not healed, but I can't help myself."

"You're a military man, you should understand and not take advantage of opportunities in narrow-mindedness! You should be able to hold yourself back, not get carried away by your passions."

"What have I done? I didn't do anything bad to the Throne."

Leony paused for a moment and waited for a long explanation from Hideo. But Hideo was silent and instead stepped forward. Leony was just being vigilant, so he grabbed a rifle belonging to one of the military members, then pointed it at Hideo. This uncertainty is terrible. He's afraid his best friend is also infected with a zombie virus.

Ever since the viral outbreak ran rampant, everyone's been having nightmares. The nightmare came true. They are suspicious of each other, withdraw from the environment, hide, and lock the door of the house tightly. There are times when they meet accidentally, which is said not 'hi, how are you? How are you doing?'

Nope.

Not that, but 'you're a human or a zombie?'

Since then, pointing guns at each other has been common in their daily lives. This habit is created by fear. They are afraid of contracting small creatures that are not even visible to the naked eye.

Mental health disorders in the form of strong anxiety begin to interfere with their daily activities. This condition can be caused by problems with brain function that regulates fear and emotions. Surviving in the middle of a corpse siege walking is certainly not easy. Humans will do anything to survive.

They eventually develop eccentric-paranoid personality disorder.

"Shut up there! You haven't explained anything to me." Leony still can't believe it. He was still pointing a gun at the military-clothed man who was holding a pale blonde.

"Leo?" Hideo's brows furrowed for a moment, as he did not think through the actions of his best friend.

"Say quiet! Don't take a step forward! Your current status is still unclear 'whether you're a human or a zombie,' so--don't get close or I'll shoot!"

"Le-o-ny, just shoot De-o!" disallow Throne.

Leony smiled at the Throne "Tahta, here! Don't get close to Hideo! He'll infect you again" Leony told the Throne.

"Ms." The throne shook its head. "Tha wants the same, Deo. Shoot Deo!" The throne tightened his embrace and did not want to leave the man.

Seeing the Throne getting sticky, Leony turned to his best friend. "Hideo, if you're going to infect the Throne-I swear I'm going to put you in the very edge of this place and I'm going to lock you up, so you can't come to the Throne anymore."

"What?! You can't do it!" hideo was surprised.

"Don't! Le-o-ny naughty! Tha ma-u sa-ma Deo."

"If Hideo turns into a zombie, you won't be able to be with him, except ..." Leony looked at Hideo ". .. unless he was isolated and rehabilitated."

"Don't! Deo nda .. pain. Deo is fine ... only!"

"That's right, you don't understand."

"Le-o-ny, nasty!" shout Throne. Both of his eyes looked at Leony. He growled furiously.

Hideo captures no indication of aggressive attitude to the Throne. The man felt his back squeezed strongly. Fortunately the Throne had no long nails. If only it had, then Hideo's back would have been hurt. Hideo patted the Throne head gently to calm him down.

"It's okay, Throne. Leony's just worried about you."

The look on the Throne's face returned like all, neither smiling nor angry.

"Leo-ny, nasty. He wants to take ... Deo's gone. Deo ja-ngan per-gi!"

"Leony is not evil. He just wanted to check on me. Nothing will separate us, I promise. Do you understand?"

The throne tilts its head. He looked at Hideo with round eyes that made others wither. The throne is just silent digesting word for word. Slowly he understood that he wanted to be near Hideo. The man's words were like a soothing melody, so he felt comfortable in his arms.

"Um, Tha knows, but Deo ja-ngan per-gi!" the throne nodded slowly. The throne hugged Hideo again, this time tighter.

"Hideo, don't you want to say something? I almost shot you and the Throne kept whining so I wouldn't hurt you, but you just kept quiet."

"Looking at your reaction--I got confused where I should start." Slowly the tightened muscles begin to loosen. Hideo does have to explain something before this misunderstanding continues.

Leony was silent and listening.

"Well-I was bitten. I almost died, but as you can see now I'm still alive. I don't know what's going on. I meant to ask, because you're the one who understands this the most" he continued. Hideo was silent for a moment. The man saw the military still standing upright like statues of soldiers. "So--can you help me explain to them to let them drop their guns?"

Hideo refers to the military who served to guard Atlantis. Since he had come to this point, they did not want to go all in from around Hideo. They gather and block the path so that Hideo cannot enter Atlantis. Their weapons were pointed right at Hideo's face. Just a little more, then the bullet will come out of his muzzle.

"Please put your weapons down!" leony's orders.

"This is our procedure for the safety of this place. Commander Hideo might change."

"I can guarantee the commander will be supervised and dealt with directly by me."

A male medic dressed in white came near Leony. He gave her a device and Leony took it. After checking, it turned out that Dorry had sent a report. This new data will free Hideo from charges.

"I've received a report. The latest data sent by the Dorry camera robot states that Commander Hideo is still human. If you don't believe me, look at this!"  Leony showed the device he was holding to the leader of the security forces, so Hideo was allowed in.

Hideo follows Leony to the examination room. Because the Throne did not want to be left, Hideo finally took it with him. Hideo let the Throne sit sweetly on his lap while he was examined. It seemed that Leony did not mind because the Throne was not only calm but was asleep instead.

"Secretly she cares about you a lot, Hideo," Leony said. His hands shrewdly and cautiously took Hideo's blood sample. "Since then the Throne has been restless. He constantly asks you. I could realize, slowly within the Throne began to grow human feelings," he continued.

"Ah, maybe you're right. I'm very happy that the Throne cares for me" Hideo said with a cheek.

Leony rolled his eyeballs. "Yes. Of course you're happy, because that's what you're hoping for. Then---what really happened? I don't see any sign of a zombie virus in your blood."

Leony used a microscope to look more closely at Hideo's blood samples. As a result, there is a zombie virus. But he was surprised, because what was seen in Hideo's blood was another type of virus. Surprisingly the virus has not been identified and appears benign.

"Are you sure you've been bitten?" leony did not believe it.

"I'm sure I was bitten, because I was bleeding from here. You can see there's a bite scar on my hand." Hideo exhaled a tired breath and raised one of his hands to show the wound. Between life and death, he knew what he had just experienced so clearly.

When they were trying to solve a problem, someone came by breaking down the door.

DUAGHS

"The video!"
