STERILE: My Bottom Is A Zombie

Chapter 4: (STERILE: New Mission)

In another corner of the place, Hideo just came off the task. After handing over his quarry he walked towards Leony's room. He wanted to ask about the Throne. After his meeting with the former lover of the Throne at that time somehow he became curious about her.

His brown eyes caught the figure of the Throne that had just come out of the shower room. The skinny body was drowned in a towel surrounding his entire body from shoulder to foot. The Zombie Throne was running slow and looked petite.

"Like a baby" said Hideo.

"What are you doing?"

Leony also happened to cross paths with his best friend. He found it strange to see Hideo still in the Atlantis building. Usually after giving up the hunt, the Commander of the Northern Division will go directly to the headquarters which is only taken within 10 minutes from Atlantis. Oh, maybe Hideo wants to invite her to hang out like they used to with Mark.

"Just look around."

"Is there anything interesting here? What do you see?" Leony looked up to Hideo's view. "He's Throne. Mr. Altar's favorite son, one of the biggest donors of STERIL project in this place. The only zombie his father would find a partner."

"Ck, I know he's the Throne. Didn't I see the sign at the time?" Hideo clucked in annoyance.

"I thought you forgot." Leony chuckled softly.

"Oh, the old man who was frenzied looking for his son and just kept making me travel everywhere? Although I don't like to gossip, but all my men talk about the news. Thanks to them, I don't want to know the gossip."

"Get me talking, Hideo. This is not a rumor, but reality. You don't know how much influence Mr. Altar has here."

"What do I care?"

"You know .. when his son went missing and was suspected of being a zombie he was devastated. He promised to give a gift to anyone who had found his child. And now he's looking for a partner. So, get ready." Leony patted Hideo on the shoulder as if giving support.

Leony still continues to flirt while Hideo himself is not too dizzy with gifts or anything mentioned earlier.

"Omong empty. I don't give a shit. All I want now is to go to the club and have fun."

Hideo tilted his head to the right and left. Just relaxes the stiff muscles. The work drains his concentration and he needs entertainment. If you think he's going to have fun playing love then you're wrong. He is a person who values the value of a relationship. Although many girls are willing to be naked for him, but he is among the voters.

"You find a partner and go on a date. Lookie! You're getting wrinkled by work." Leony chuckled again. Of course he's just kidding. His friend was clearly not old. He just wants to flirt.

"indiscriminately. I'm still handsome and young to know."

Hideo's eyes stole a glance towards the Throne which was now crouching. The zombie bangs danced in the wind from a large air conditioner fan. But his face was flat. 'What is he doing? Don't tell me he's interested in the wind?' Hideo smiled amusedly at the behavior of the Throne that err .. adorable even though he is still a zombie. Hideo silently laughed at the efforts of the nurses who forced the Throne to stand up and return to his room.

"Ah-ha, I see you're getting interested in her," Leony the beard. 

Hideo very rarely notices anything, except for his collection of firearms. So this is a rare sight. The slightest change could not be hidden from Leony. She felt like a mother to Hideo for being able to read a little of the man's gestures.

Their chatter was forced to stop because of the noise from the Throne's ward. They immediately ran over to two men who were holding the body of the Throne on either side. Not only was Leony confused, but Hideo as well. Has the throne escaped?

"What's going on?" ask Leony.

"He suddenly went on a rampage when we wanted to put clothes on" one of the officers said. Anyone now keeps a distance from the Throne.

The throne grinned, revealing its red gums. Zombies are only three days old in Atlantis, so the cure hasn't fully worked. The healing stage is long. Within a day, the zombies had to receive three injections of high-dose cell regeneration serum each, a thorough physical examination, and a CT scan. All the monitored zombies had only undergone an early stage. The rest are still waiting for a reaction.

The throne seems to feel very disturbed. Obviously this is not due to the reaction of the drug but rather something else. Disturbed zombies are dangerous. He attacked anyone who approached him. He doesn't care about anything or anyone.

Instead of dodging, Hideo instead walked up to the Throne and snatched the clothes from the officers' hands.

"We'll cure you. You don't have to do much or I have to use a gun so you really die. Okay?!" Hideo was undaunted as the Throne stared back at him unhappily.

Their eyes met and locked. Somehow the Throne finally stopped rebelling, as if a rope was connected between the two of them. Hideo took a pair of special gloves from under his pants pocket and put them on. No wait long Hideo was quick to use this opportunity to dress up the skinny body of the Throne.

While putting on clothes, Hideo did not think how could zombies have very white and glowing skin? Yes, although on his cheek there is still a bite wound but can not cover his charming facial line. Hideo raised his head. 'Oh, this must be because of the spotlight.'

"OKAY. It's done now." Hideo smiled at the corner of his lips.

After wearing clothes, the Throne walked back and forth in the middle of the room. Slow and very stiff. Sometimes he looked down and muttered indistinctly. Sometimes he almost hit the wall so Hideo was moved to help him. However, just walking a few steps, Hideo was stared at again.

"Oh, okay. I'm not gonna touch you. Do what you want. You can circle this room. This room is very spacious. There's only one table and chair here."

After saying that, Hideo immediately felt stupid. Why does he invite zombies to chat? The throne will obviously not hear, let alone respond to his words. Hideo, it looks like you need some air.

"The fierce master turned stupid" sneered Leony who heard his best friend talking to a zombie. He chuckled happily as Hideo glared.

After the shower, it was time to eat. An officer entered the room carrying a plate with raw meat that still left blood. Smelling the smell of meat, the Throne reacted immediately and nearly charged at the officer if Hideo had not pulled his hands from behind. The throne grinned just trying to grab the plate. As soon as the plate was placed on the table and his hands were released he immediately ran and ate greedily.

The throne in front of him still devoured the flesh to the point that his mouth was covered in blood. He was completely indifferent to the person in front of him. A few seconds later, his movement stopped. His pale purple eyes glanced forward, right where Hideo was standing.

Aware of being stared at, Hideo then stared back at the Throne, "You're looking at me, huh?"

The throne does not. He returned to his dinner. Hideo was feeling stupid. The young man clucked because he was hurt. Who's happy here? Definitely Leony. The woman's body shook withholding laughter.

PRANGS

The plate was slammed after the meat was gone. Hideo mistook the Throne for emotion because he was still hungry, but he seemed to be wrong. The throne just wants to do it. The throne wants to make a noise. Now the teenage zombie is scratching ten nails on the table. He growls.

'Do zombies not need a drink?' bathin Hideo's.

Hideo walks into a mansion owned by one of the most influential people in the city of Lazar. The moment he reached the military headquarters, he was suddenly asked to come to the Sky Altar Master's residence. The young man had no idea what the purpose of the man was to call him personally. His instincts tell me if it has anything to do with his son.

Hideo saw many frames containing photos of the Throne hanging on the wall. Some of them were wearing school uniforms and some were holding trophies. Among all the most interesting photos is the one where the Throne smiles while carrying a gray-haired cat. The smile of the teenager was sweet looking with the glare of the eyes of life.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Altar," Hideo said to the middle-aged man in front of him.

They are now in a room. On one side was a wall made of thick glass. Behind the wall there is a garden that quite spoils the eye. Mr. Altar did not take his eyes off there, as if reminiscing about something. His face looked a little gloomy, but his aura still exuded a strong charismatic.

"Thank you for coming." The Altar Master turned to Hideo at a glance before returning to look towards the park.

"Your name is Hideo Alexander, isn't it? 27 Years old, a commander of the rescue division of STERIL program. Has long range and close range shooting skills. Proficient in using firearms and sharp weapons. Mastering taekwondo, karate, muai-thai, boxing, and martial arts. Passed the military exam with perfect grades and became commander of the army at the age of 23. Hm, impressive."

"You're overreacting, sir."

The Altar Master flipped over so that the two men of different ages were cheering each other up. "After I met you in person, I don't think that's an exaggeration. Your lunge during the STERIL mission is fairly good," he continued to praise.

"It's my job."

"That's why I'm impressed. There are not many people who would do a sincere job like you. Ah, as a thank you I will give you a luxurious house along with its contents. I want you to take it."

"Thank you, Mister. I don't feel I deserve any of that."

"Youfast. Besides you finding my son, I also got a report that yesterday you helped the Throne wear clothes."

"Because she's rampaging and the nurse's in distress, so I'm helping them."

"You're brave. Of course because you're a military man" said Mr. Altar as he walked to his desk. There is a family photo there. Photograph of himself with his wife and throne as a child. Looking at the photo made the two corners of Mr. Altar's lips curl upwards.

"After my wife died, I was alone with my daughter's throne. I love him so much. When I found out he was missing I felt so devastated. I didn't have a face just to visit my wife's grave. But you managed to bring back my daughter even in such circumstances. I'm grateful to you."

Hideo listened to the words of the Altar Master intently.

"Hm .. Do you have a partner?"

There was a bad feeling regarding the question posed by the man in front of him.

"Yet. I don't have time to think about it."

"I intend to make you my son's spouse, the Throne. Since you're a tough military man, I don't think you'll be afraid to face him and you can also protect yourself if he attacks you one day."

Hideo looked surprised. Being a zombie lover that was being healed was something she had never thought of before. Although he does not have a partner, but having a zombie lover is very risky. The risk of dying or turning into an undead like 'them.'

"I'm totally---"

"I put my hopes on the STERIL mission. I want the people who have become undead to be able to change and be given the chance to live normally. If there was one such couple, wouldn't hope be extended to the others?" Mr. Altar approached Hideo so the two men came face to face.

"I have high hopes for the STERIL mission. And I have another mission with you. This is a secret mission between you and me. You and the Throne will be the first couple to make a change. Can you take it?"

Hideo was silent for a moment before finally speaking, "Alright. I accept it."
