In the land of the great western power of Marika, an unknown zombie virus began to spread like wildfire after one state became witness to a horrific biological development lab accident. A giant red pillar of blood shot up into the at that day, causing infected blood to rain into the water supply and infect the entire state. The infection quickly spread into the water supply, turning many into cannibalistic fiends. Then, it spread to other places in the country, racking up an unimaginable death toll in just a week. However, unlike most depictions of zombie apocalypses in popular media, the government acted quickly, quarantining the entire country and halting the spread by 90%.
Infection throughout the world was prevented too, leaving it as an isolated case problem for the country. And so with the need to guard and protect the country, the government swiftly implemented civilian drafts to enlist capable adults to serve. One of these civilian drafts was Shawy, a 5’5 black cat who was going to receive their diploma in culinary arts just months before the apocalypse began, leaving them hopeless and heartbroken to be denied their dream job. But he had no choice but to serve, forced to train in military boot camps to be ready to serve against the zombies.
On the other hand, Shawy held out hope by regularly talking to his friend, Rang, a tall 6’7 orange wolf who was his college classmate years ago. Unlike Shawy, Rang had to drop out early, taking a job as a security guard for a medical institute to pay for his mother’s hospital bills. They remained close friends, even until the apocalypse happened. Internet still worked somewhat, and Shawy vents about his time in the military to Rang. Coincidentally, Rang works for the medical institute that caused the apocalypse in the first place. The government and corrupt medical institute were fighting a war in which Shawy, once finished with his basic military training, would be forced to partake.

Luckily, Rang was simply a security guard, so he wouldn’t have to fight for the institute as a mercenary. However, he was unable to leave at all. Rang couldn’t leave out of fear that the institute would dispose of him. The pay was good, but the employers were sickening. The wolf wanted out, expressing their desire to do so to their friend as they had complained about their military training. But leaving meant dying and loss of pay, so even when Rang’s phone was bugged to monitor his conversations, he opted to stay, just secretly praying and hoping that his dear friend could finally come one day and save him.
“Hey, you up?”
“Of course. Just sitting by a desk like always…”
“Wanna… talk about something?”
“Shoot.” 以上内容来自hlib.cc。更多中文H小说尽在hlib.cc。
“I was thinking… When this thing all blows over, I want to finish my degree and start a cake shop. Do you wanna help out?”
“What? With the filling?”
“Oh my god…”
“Haha! I’m kidding!”

“Jeez… You’re so perverted…”
“I guess I could.”
“I’ll help pay your-”
“No, it’s alright. I’ll just find another job after this. My savings have been split by 90/10; 90% for my mom, and 10% for me.”
In the dead of night, it would be the time for the two’s regular chat, with Shawy under his bunk bed blanket and Rang lying lazily against a receptionist's desk. 以上内容来自hlib.cc。更多中文H小说尽在hlib.cc。
“My deployment is tomorrow. Do you think I’ll be stationed next to your place?”
“I don’t know, but I hope so. I wanna get out of here as soon as possible…”
“I’m probably too low of a rank to participate in raids, but I hope the army finds you.”
“Sigh… But I’ll have to do my job and fight back.”

“Just surrender, okay?”
“I guess… But I don’t want to get arrested!”
“Just prove that you were just an innocent worker, duh.”
“True…”
“Well, I have to go to sleep now. See you tomorrow?” 以上内容来自hlib.cc。更多中文H小说尽在hlib.cc。
“See ya.”
“Night.”
“Night.”
Unfortunately for both sides, Shawy needed to sleep early to prepare for deployment, leaving Rang alone for his shift. But this was normal already, and Rang knew how to stay strong when his best friend was out of reach. Old college photos and mobile game recordings helped with that. They also participated in tabletop role-play, which Rang still looks back to now and then. They still role-played but only once in a blue moon when both Shawy and Rang had lots of free time.

And so as Rang slouched on the cold marble desk under the glaringly bright light of the reception room, he thought to himself, “Should I confess to Shawy?” Ever since they were first friends, Rang was enthralled by Shawy’s kindness and cooking. Something about Shawy’s counseling and care accompanied by hand-made macarons before going their separate ways in college gave the wolf butterflies in their stomach. There was no need for Rang to question his sexuality, but he wanted Shawy’s thoughts and feelings. So he kept his feelings to himself, wanting to express them at the right time, with it being when they’ll ever meet again.
Rang knew to keep his feelings under control, further helped by Shawy’s experience in counseling. Through the talks they had, Rang brought up fabricated scenarios about being in love with another male classmate. This was simply a projection on Rang’s end, but Shawy saw through it immediately. Rang was sweet and cuddly for someone who was on the college varsity team before dropping out. The outer shell hid a loving persona that Shawy adored. Unknowingly for Rang, Shawy had the same feelings as him, but like each other, they bit their tongues, scared of each other’s reactions and rejection.
“Hey, hey! Rang, are you there?”
“I am. What’s up?”
“It’s deployment… A massive assault is planned at the place! You know what I’m talking about!” 以上内容来自hlib.cc。更多中文H小说尽在hlib.cc。
“What?! And why is it so noisy?!”
“It’s the helicopters! You need to get somewhere safe! We’ll be arriving by noon! Please, stay safe!”
“Huh?! Shawy, Shawy?! Hello?!”
In the middle of his breakfast, Rang suddenly received an unintelligible phone call from Shawy. And from what he could barely make out, it seemed that the army was going to attack the institution tonight. Luckily, nobody was around to find out about the phone call, well, audibly hear it. Because due to Rang’s bugged phone, the phone call was recorded and sent to higher security before being brought up to the remaining executives. The entire facility was then put on full alert, all guards ready and mutant experiments ready for release. Rang was clueless about his accidental leak of information, but the company thanked him by simply not confronting him about the phone call he had.

Everyone was on edge, especially Rang. He didn’t want to fight, but he was forced to, now sporting dark protective armor, hiding his vibrant orange fur and making him indistinguishable from those with true loyalty to the institute. His saving grace was the fact he was stationed outside the headquarters compound. Still, he was deeply on edge; his phone was confiscated and strict officers watching everyone in their positions. The preparation was early, but with so much money and biological weapons on the line for the black market, it wasn’t far-fetched for the company to go all out.
“Hey, what are you staring blankly for? Are you a new recruit?”
“Y- Yes, sir.”
“Explains it. We’ve scattered the newcomers with the experienced soldiers. I hope you know how to follow your officer’s commands properly.”
“Y- Yes, sir!” 以上内容来自hlib.cc。更多中文H小说尽在hlib.cc。
“Infecteds roam about this deep into the state. Those missing limbs and rotting are far from being saved. Shoot to kill. Well, to aid and defend your comrades. The same goes for the guards. They know what they’ve signed themselves up to.”
“...”
Hours later, chinooks that carried Shawy along with an assortment of soldiers finally landed at a military camp. The aircraft was then swiftly emptied, soldiers lining up in front of their commanding officers while jeeps, trucks, APCs, and tanks roamed about. Shawy’s short height stuck out like a sore thumb in the rows of relatively
