Chapter Title: No One Gives Up! That's My Virtual YouTuber's Path!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
On the road searching for a vaccine to cure Chae-yoon sis.
Vaccine zombies must be incredibly rare, because...
We ended up having to scour all sorts of places.
Naturally, we ran into a ton of fights along the way.
The silver lining was that both Nyantamon and I were pretty seasoned in combat.
So we could take down zombies without getting seriously hurt while searching.
Of course, avoiding spots swarming with them helped too.
Like that, as we pushed toward the outskirts looking for a vaccine zombie...
I heard Nyantamon let out a low sigh.
"There's a gas station up ahead, so we can grab some there, right?"
"Gas station ahead? Okay, let's head that way then."
I just happened to be looking at the map, so I acted as Nyantamon's navigator.
I pointed out the gas station's location, and she swung the car that way.
Thankfully, we had just enough gas to make it there.
Finally arriving at the gas station...
What we faced was an unexpected sight.
"...What the hell? Why are there so many zombies here?"
"R-right?!"
Yeah.
The gas station was absolutely crawling with zombies.
Not quite a mountain of them like in zombie flicks...
But scattered across the wide station, standing ready to greet intruders—it was horrifying.
The problem? We had no choices left.
The nearest other station was pretty far, and dodging elsewhere meant risking the car stalling any second.
"Let's just clear the area around the pumps quick, fuel up, and bounce? No other way."
"Y-yeah, I guess. At least there aren't many right by the pumps..."
So we had no choice.
We'd take out just the zombies near the pumps...
Fuel up fast and get the hell out.
Thankfully, it didn't seem impossible.
My low presence meant less aggro on me.
And both Nyantamon and I had high stamina, great for prolonged fights.
[Grraaah...]
Thwack!Thwack!
We hopped out quick and advanced step by step...
Steadily mowing down the approaching zombies.
Just fill the can and head back—we could escape this place somehow.
We couldn't dawdle, even moving carefully...
Chae-yoon sis was waiting back at base.
Zombification had to be pretty advanced by now—we needed that vaccine ASAP.
"...Huh?! Lulu, there! Front building!"
"Yes?"
As I pushed forward, anxious...
Nyantamon's voice rang out sharp.
My eyes snapped to the building at the edge of my vision.
My eyes went wide.
And for good reason—because there...
"Isn't that a vaccine zombie?!"
"I-it looks like it...!"
The vaccine zombie we'd been hunting everywhere was right there.
Black hazmat suit and backpack—definitely a vaccine zombie.
But it was surrounded by a swarm protecting it.
This was bad.
I'd brought molotovs just in case of crowds...
But zombies killed by fire drop no loot—their corpses just burn up.
So we'd have to fight through purely with combat...
Take down the vaccine zombie and snag the vaccine.
Just us two? No way we could handle it.
"Lulu, fuel up first! I'll lure and thin out the ones around!"
But Nyantamon saw a shot.
She strode forward, barking orders.
Her speech mixed polite and casual in urgency...
But no time to nitpick.
What I needed to do: follow orders and fuel our last escape vehicle.
"Y-yeah...! B-be careful!"
I warned her quick...
Then grabbed the can, filled it fast...
Ran back to the car and topped it off.
Ugh, why so slow...!
I gotta help Nyantamon quick!
You idiot character! Push harder!
My mental pep talk must've worked.
Fueling finished quick enough.
I bolted straight to the building where Nyantamon was.
"Argh, fuck! They're swarming like damn dogs!"
There she was, fighting fiercely amid the colorful curses.
She was kiting like a pro, so zombie corpses piled up noticeably on the ground.
But still more alive than dead.
"I-I'm helping! Nyantamon, dodge!"
"No! I'm fine—clear the inside first! Grab it, inject, and we bail!"
"O-okay!"
I tried to peel zombies off her first...
But even now, she prioritized the vaccine.
Ignore her—clear the building interior.
So I gripped my weapon and rushed inside.
Thanks to aggro on her, the packed interior had thinned out a lot.
Good, I can handle this solo.
Just take out that vaccine zombie at the end...!
"N-no way! Gunshot would endanger Nyantamon even if I'm fine."
A cherry's advice mid-fight...
But I shook my head firm, steadily picking off zombies one by one.
Guns would clear mobs easy, sure.
But these weren't all the zombies.
Buildings on both sides packed too—just no aggro yet.
One stray shot? Total hellscape.
Plus, my low presence and stamina make escape easy for me.
Nyantamon? Swarmed and dead.
Physics it is.
My main weapon broke from overuse...
So dagger it was—less stamina drain, better for attrition.
Just no one-shots, annoying.
Interior cleared fast.
Reached the vaccine zombie spot.
No hesitation—I thrust my dagger into its back.
Artery sever crit triggered.
It crumpled dead instantly.
"Vaccine!"
Rifled the corpse—vaccine secured.
Immunity ampule...? What's this?
New item—different from vaccine?
Grab it anyway.
Then, as cherries said, rescue Nyantamon.
"Nyantamo-o-on! Got the vaccine! Back to the car quick!"
"Roger, run!"
I mowed down zombies chasing her...
Yelling loud—she pivoted.
We bolted together to our parked car at the entrance.
Hehe, made it.
Just inject Chae-yoon sis back at base.
Click!
Hopped in—zombies didn't pursue, thankfully.
Fueled up already—just drive.
I was grinning ear to ear when...
"...Ah, we're screwed."
"N-Nyantamon? What's wrong...?"
Nyantamon muttered defeated...
Me and the cherries floated question marks in panic.
Short silence, then her answer.
"Sorry, Lulu. I was careful but... got bit."
"Wha?! B-bit?!"
Yeah.
We got the vaccine for Chae-yoon sis...
But Nyantamon got bit in the process.
"Pisses me off but... head to base first. Cure Lilith, then hunt another."
While I floundered...
She gripped the wheel calm.
I yelled frantic, stopping her.
"N-no! Zombification times vary—could die before we return! Hunt now!"
Zombification progresses differently per person.
Some last over a week...
Others croak in 2-3 days.
And 2 days in-game? Just ~2 hours real-time.
No guarantee on finding another vaccine zombie quick.
Or that it'd drop one.
To save Nyantamon, hunt a new one now—not base.
"What if we return and your sis is dead?"
"Eh? Th-that's..."
But she was right too.
Chae-yoon sis's time was short.
Any delay hunting new vaccine? Might lose her.
"It's fine—head back. Save Lilith first."
"......"
She turned the wheel, ignoring me.
That's when I spotted it.
The mystery item from the vaccine zombie.
Short description, but clicked instantly.
No use post-infection...
But blocks zombification start from bites/scratches for duration.
Use it: 2 in-game hours (~5 min real) bite-free fighting.
With this...?
"Sorry, Nyantamon."
"Huh?"
Poke!
Realization hit—I apologized quick and jabbed the syringe into her character without pause.
She freaked.
"A-are you insane?! Why use it on me? Not saving Lilith...?!"
Cherries reacted same.
Saving battle buddy Nyantamon? Understandable.
But ditching precious member?
My choice simple.
No one gets left behind.
Not Chae-yoon sis. Not Nyantamon...!
I'll save them both!
Click!
"Lulu?!"
"Stay put! Be right back!"
No second thoughts—door open, I leaped out.
Ran back to the station.
Plenty of unchecked buildings.
Maybe another vaccine zombie.
"Found one! It's here, everyone!"
Sure enough, right building unchecked...
Hazmat vaccine zombie, swarmed like before.
Use Zombie Immunity Ampule (2 hours)?
Y/N
Close enough, inventory open...
Activated the immunity ampule.
Next 2 hours (~5 min real)...
Bites won't zombify me.
5-min timer starts now.
Grab that thing somehow.
"Get outta my wayyy!"
Charged inside, slashing through.
No risk of Nyantamon getting swept—guns fair game now.
Bang! Bang!
Shotgun thinned the herd...
Finally reached the lurker at the end.
Poke!
[Kreeeek...!]
Timer nearly up—killed vaccine zombie...
Snagged another vaccine, raced back to the car. Success.
"V-vaccine got! Let's go!"
"No, you're crazy?! Solo diving for that?!"
"Ehehe, but..."
Back already—Nyantamon scolded.
I grinned sheepish.
"Couldn't abandon sis or you? We're comrades now."
"......!"
Like that, our epic journey succeeded.
We returned to base and saved Lilith sis.
A happy ending for all.
