Democracy Under The Dead

The enemy's weak points are discovered and exploited. The human condition is put to the test, and everyone's base survival instincts kick in. Tensions rise as more people swell the ranks, and one survivor refuses to continue with the group.

Plot Summary

The survivors make their way to the parking lot to escape by bus. Along the way they further test the theory that the undead are blind and act on sound. In the parking lot they hook up with another group of survivors led by the teacher of class 3-A, Shido-sensei. Rei has strong misgivings about saving Shido. Once the survivors escape the school, Shido makes his move and promotes himself as the leader of the group. At that Rei storms off the bus, with Takashi following behind trying to stop her. A zombie-infested commuter bus careens down the street and bursts into flames, separating Rei and Takashi from the others. Both groups go their separate ways, with Takashi trying to organize a meet-up with Saeko at the Eastern Police Station that night, or the following.
