I used a couple of A4 papers to explain what had happened over the course of the past couple of days. Once I was done explaining everything, Lee Jeong-Uk was the first person to speak up.

“Then the person lying down outside is someone you formed an alliance with?”

I nodded.

“Did you say his name was Kim Hyeong-Jun?”

I nodded.

“The first thing we should do when he wakes up is to thank him, then.”

Lee Jeong-Uk made his point calmly, and everyone in the meeting room nodded. After a moment, the principal spoke up.

“So eating brains makes you go to sleep and wake up stronger… I think this is something we have to discuss.”

I told everyone about the characteristics of the zombies with glowing red eyes. I focused on the fact that we would fall asleep and get stronger every time we ate an enemy brain. I knew that if I kept this a secret any longer, it could ignite a feeling of distrust toward me if the rest found out on their own.

I told everyone everything with this opportunity, thinking of what I would have to go through if I had to face the music later down the road. But I didn’t tell them about the changes red glowing-eyed zombies would go through if they ate human brains. This was the one thing I could not tell them.
