The middle-aged woman didn't speak to Liam immediately. She first looked outside, making sure there were no zombies behind him.
Then, she pulled him into what turned out to be a private office.
She quickly closed the door and used the desk to barricade it.
Liam saw a plaque on the desk that read CEO, firmly attached to the surface.
"Ma'am, are you here alone?" Liam asked, wondering if she had been hiding in the office since the disaster began.
"Yes. Everyone else has left, and I got trapped in this building," the woman replied.
"Are you and the students from another area who came to this one?" she asked.
Naturally, she had noticed that Liam wasn't alone—but he stood out the most, since he was riding a monster. That's why she had called him over.
"Yes," Liam answered.
"You shouldn't have come here. There are many undead, and killing them means nothing," the woman said.
"What exactly are they? Are they being controlled by something?" Liam asked in response.
