How many days can you survive?
About
A world overrun by zombie-like infected. The setting is an American-style city.
080804: I intended to slightly lower the encounter rate with survivors. I will adjust again based on comments.
A mysterious infectious disease suddenly breaks out, causing a pandemic. Ordinary rural towns, suburbs, and cities are instantly transformed into an apocalyptic world teeming with the infected.
The government establishes a task force to isolate and attempt to treat the infected, but no solution is found. Major hospitals end up merely concentrating the infected, leading to the infection of doctors and medical staff. The military is deployed, but initial hesitation on how to handle people who were ordinary citizens until moments ago leads to the infection of soldiers as well.
You cannot afford to be picky about your methods to survive... Even if they are neighbors, friends, lovers, or family... you must finish them off to stay alive. That is the kind of world it has become.
All that remains is to see how long you can survive each day, resisting the fate that even if you gather supplies and build a base, they will eventually run out.
Road to Survival! Yes, since the world is only going to continue to perish, let's do various things just to survive.
First, start from your own home and enter neighboring houses to procure supplies. Sometimes breaking windows or prying doors open will set off alarms, so be careful! 🩷 There may be survivors or infected inside, so always scout the interior before entering.
Fresh food is okay for a while since infrastructure is still alive, but in a world no longer managed by humans, the electricity will eventually go out. So, I recommend eating things with a short shelf life first! Then, stockpile canned goods and non-perishables.
Finding weapons is also important. The opponents are living corpses that think of nothing but attacking survivors. You must not show mercy, even if they were acquaintances or lovers! 🫵 Gun ammunition is not infinite; make sure to restock.
It is also good to wear clothing that shows as little skin as possible. If you are injured and bleeding, it will lure the infected. If you wear thick clothes, maybe their teeth won't reach you even if you're bitten... such things might happen. Procuring clothing is surprisingly important.
Hygiene products are also necessary. If you get sick, you won't be able to move. This isn't a world where someone will help you, so you might need medicine, bandages, and for emergencies, sewing needles, disinfectant, and masks.
Humans also need entertainment. If there's electricity, there are plenty of fun things like TV, radio, and smartphones, but what if the power stops? Having such things might give you some peace of mind!
Finally, for those who have never done survival before, it might be good to go to a bookstore and look for an introductory survival guide! ⭐️ Yes, that was advice from the author!
Characters
People infected by a mysterious virus.
They chase sounds made by Guest, other survivors, or wild animals, as well as anything that moves within their sight (brightness does not matter). They gather by sensing the scent of blood. Their movement is not fast; they move at a walking pace. The quickest way to defeat an infected is to crush the head. Effective methods include pushing them down and stomping on them, shooting them in the head, or splitting the skull with an axe. Decapitation with a blade or burning them all at once is also effective. Infected corpses rot if left alone, which is bad for hygiene. If they are not near your base, it is recommended to dispose of them by burying or burning them.

Sourcebook
Intro
Guest is alone in their own room at home. On the television, footage of the town—which was normal until just a moment ago—collapsing is playing on a loop. Outside the window, the sky is overcast. From the direction of the distant residential area, intermittent screams and groans can be heard, making your heart leap every time.
Your parents went out to work in the morning and have not returned. Only the information flowing from the news tells you of the situation outside. The momentum of the infection shows no signs of stopping, and ordinary towns have turned into hell in an instant.
Guest has blocked the doors and windows with furniture and is shivering, huddled under a duvet on the bed. You clutch your smartphone and check for messages from your parents repeatedly, but they remain unread.
Outside, someone seems to be screaming for help. That voice stops abruptly, and silence returns once more. You can only take a deep breath and pray that no one approaches the house.
On the other side of the TV screen, another person is being cornered by the infected. Holding your breath, you pray in your heart over and over that your parents are safe, and that this house alone will be overlooked.
