"W-what the hell is that...?"
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the screen in shock.
"That unidentified mass of flesh is devouring everything around it like a malignant tumor. All those zombies in the city have been swallowed up by it too."
The screen zoomed in on the building above this underground lab.
Giant maggots writhed and swarmed over the building and its surroundings.
"Ugh! Disgusting..."
Carrie grimaced at the sight.
It was filthy.
And that scene dredged up a terrifying memory from my past that I'd rather forget.
It was when I was a kid visiting my grandmother in the countryside.
There was a horror of a toilet there.
A deep hole dug in the ground with just two wooden planks laid across it.
An unimaginable stench and shit flies buzzing everywhere.
And below it, something I didn't want to see.
But had no choice but to see.
An abyss lurking in wait.
The landscape on the screen reminded me of that abyss.
I still vividly remembered trembling in terror every time I had to go, terrified I'd fall in.
"So, think we can make it out that way?"
"........."
Jessica's words left everyone silent.
"We have another option. This way."
The screen she pointed to swarmed with zombies.
"What about this place?"
Grace asked, eyes lighting up.
"It's where the underground maglev train runs."
"There's something like that underground?"
"It was originally for top-secret operations. When the zombies first broke out, employees tried to escape through there... but as you can see, they all ended up like that."
A crowd surging to escape.
Zombies emerging among them.
It was all too easy to imagine the ensuing pandemonium.
"We never would have dreamed of going there before... but given the situation, it looks better than the surface."
After a moment's thought, Grace spoke up.
"Yeah... zombies we can handle."
Philip and Richard nodded.
I preferred zombies to maggots too.
We'd struggled on the surface, sure.
But aside from Carrie, the group consisted of rare superpowered Awakeners.
Regular zombies—not even low-grade Corrupted Beings—were no match for us.
"What if we wait and the maggots move somewhere else?"
Carrie asked.
"No idea... We could wait a bit longer. I'll go with whatever you decide."
Jessica replied indifferently, fiddling with her tablet.
"This is the underground rail map."
She brought up the map on her tablet.
The group leaned in to study it closely.
"This is where we parked the car."
Grace pointed to a spot on the map.
"And here?"
Grace pointed to a location a short distance from our parked car and asked Jessica.
Rail lines connected to it.
It was the closest point to where we'd left the vehicle.
"That's a logistics warehouse."
"The train isn't running?"
"It's probably somewhere, but we can't get it moving from here. Might be broken."
"Then let's head along the underground rails to the warehouse, surface from there, and make for our car. Rest up today and head out tomorrow morning."
Under Grace's leadership, the group finalized the escape plan and settled in to rest.
-Splash...
Jessica had said to use as much water as we wanted since we'd be escaping tomorrow anyway, so I was showering in the researchers' dorm.
The bathroom door opened, and Carrie strode in naked and bold, wrapping her arms around me quietly from behind.
The soft, smooth feel of her body pressed vividly against my back.
She reached around and fondled my cock.
My dick stiffened rock-hard in no time.
I turned, and Carrie gazed at me with a smile.
I pulled her waist close and kissed her.
Our tongues naturally tangled wetly.
My hand slid down from her waist, grabbing her plump ass.
"Haah..."
Hot breath escaped her lips.
I swallowed it, sucking on her tongue.
Carrie didn't hold back, caressing my body all over.
She gripped my ass, grinding her smooth lower belly against my cock like she was begging for it.
I slipped my fingers between her ass cheeks.
Moist, soft flesh met my touch.
My fingers delved inside...
Into her slick cavern.
Her already sopping hole clenched tight around my fingers.
"Un-ho... hurry..."
Carrie urged me on.
She craved something bigger.
One hand supporting her waist.
The other grabbing her thigh, lifting one leg.
Unable to wait, Carrie grabbed my cock and guided it between her legs.
-Schlick!
My dick slid smoothly into her hole.
"Haaah!!"
She hugged my neck tight, head thrown back.
I began thrusting my hips slowly.
-Thrust. Thrust.
She matched my rhythm, moving her hips.
-Schlop. Schlorp.
"Haah. Haah..."
My glans scraped her inner walls repeatedly, pounding her womb over and over.
Feeling it wasn't enough, Carrie wrapped her legs around my waist. Hanging on me like a cicada with arms and legs, she bucked her hips.
I supported her ass so she wouldn't tire.
-Plap! Plap!
Lewd wet sounds echoed through the bathroom.
With Carrie clinging and thrashing wildly against me, my climax surged quickly.
"Un-ho, cum! Inside me!!"
Sensing I was close, she cried out.
-Spurt!!
I didn't hold back, filling her womb with semen.
"Haaaah!!"
Carrie clung to me tight, body shuddering in orgasm.
-Drip... Drip.
Semen leaked from our joined parts, trickling down my balls to the bathroom floor.
"Haa. Haa."
I turned her panting body around.
Understanding what I wanted, Carrie braced her hands against the bathroom wall and stuck out her ass.
I grabbed her cheeks and spread them wide.
Her ass opened up, revealing her twitching pink anus and the gaping labia below. Thick white fluid oozed from her pussy, dripping straight down.
My throbbing cock plunged back into her hole.
"Haaang~"
I gripped her plump ass and started pistoning.
-Schlop! Schlop!
My thick shaft glistened as it plunged in and out.
Pink inner flesh clung to it every time I pulled back.
The obscene sight drove me to thrust even harder.
"Hup! Hup!!"
-Slap! Slap!
"Ah! Haaah!!"
The gasping breaths of the entangled pair filled the bathroom without end.
I gently laid Carrie, exhausted and passed out from our session, on the bed.
-Snooze... Snooze...
Carrie slept soundly, breathing quietly.
Blood rushed south again at the sight of her pale naked body sprawled on the bed.
But I held back.
I covered her with the blanket to keep her from catching a cold and lay down beside her.
"......"
Sleep wouldn't come.
I got up and stepped outside.
Bright light leaked into the dark hallway.
It was the dining room where I'd talked with Jessica.
Curiosity drew me there.
Grace sat alone.
Her golden hair was damp; she'd showered too.
I sat beside her and spoke.
"We've got to move tomorrow... You okay not resting?"
She glanced at me and said.
"I need to rest... I just... can't sleep..."
I pulled wine and glasses from my inventory and poured her some.
"You carry stuff like this around?"
Grace asked, surprised by the wine.
"For nights like this when someone can't sleep."
She chuckled and sipped the wine I'd poured.
"Haa... delicious."
I didn't know the exact price, but it was expensive stuff.
Maybe the alcohol.
A faint pink flush colored her cheeks.
"Anxious?"
"Not anxious exactly. Weirdly, I'm not worried... Maybe because you're here, Un-ho?"
We passed the wine back and forth.
Soju tasted off to me, hard to drink, but wine had a sweet grape flavor even without the booze.
"I'm grateful to you, Un-ho, but also sorry. I feel like I'm relying on you too much... Honestly, saving Philip and Richard and getting here? All thanks to you."
She had principles.
Lots of people take help for granted.
Philip, for one...
I caught sight of Grace's moist blue eyes.
Flushed from the alcohol, her beauty shone even brighter.
Our gazes locked.
A subtle heat smoldered in her eyes.
"....."
"....."
My face drew closer to hers.
Grace closed her eyes.
Her long lashes trembled.
Instinct told me.
Don't drag it out.
I swiftly claimed her lips.
Our tongues twisted like snakes.
-Smack. Smack. Slurp... Smack.
The faint grape wine scent on her tongue made it taste even better.
Alcohol's power was mighty.
It loosened Grace's inhibitions just a bit.
Good thing I'd packed the wine.
I'd prepared it half-joking about situations like this... but it proved surprisingly useful.
Of course, I'd given it a slight mana boost too.
My hand naturally groped her breast.
Soft and fluffy.
Grace pulled away from the kiss and pushed my chest.
Her hazy expression hardened slightly.
The alcohol-fueled kiss had cleared her head a bit.
"S-sorry... F-forget this happened!"
Panicking at having gotten swept up in the moment, Grace scrambled to her feet and fled.
"......"
......Shouldn't have groped her chest?
Too hasty...
No... probably Carrie?
Grace liked me. But she knew about me and Carrie.
Her friend Carrie was the issue.
A little more and I could've made her mine... but something was missing.
I smacked my lips, staring at the empty seat she'd left behind.
