Untouched by the Outbreak

Chapter 41: 41: A Beacon of Hope



As the first rays of morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, Ryo and Sakura stirred from their peaceful slumber, their bodies still entwined in a loving embrace. The events of the previous night lingered in their minds, but in each other's arms, they found comfort and reassurance.

With a contented sigh, Sakura shifted closer to Ryo, snuggling against his chest as he wrapped his arms protectively around her. They lay in bed for a few moments longer, savoring the warmth and intimacy of their shared embrace before reluctantly untangling themselves and rising from the bed.

Together, they made their way to the bathroom, where they showered together, their laughter and whispered conversations filling the small space. There was a sense of intimacy in sharing such a simple act, a closeness that transcended words.

After their shower, Sakura set about preparing breakfast while Ryo sat at the kitchen table, watching her with a fond smile. The scent of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, mingling with the aroma of sizzling bacon and eggs.

Once breakfast was ready, they sat down together at the table, their fingers entwined as they shared a meal filled with love and laughter. Sakura's cooking was delicious, and Ryo couldn't help but marvel at her culinary skills.

After breakfast, they retired to the living room, where Sakura settled onto the sofa with her earphones in, lost in the music playing softly in her ears. Ryo, meanwhile, pulled out his laptop and began browsing the internet for any news updates.

As he scrolled through the headlines, one article caught his eye—a report about the government setting up safe zones in certain areas of the country. Intrigued, Ryo clicked on the link, reading the article with growing interest.

According to the report, the safe zones were established in regions with low levels of zombie activity, offering shelter, food, and medical assistance to those seeking refuge. The government urged people to evacuate to these safe zones for their own safety, providing detailed instructions on how to reach them.

Ryo felt a mixture of relief and apprehension as he read the article. On one hand, the idea of a safe haven was comforting, offering the promise of security and protection in an uncertain world. But on the other hand, he couldn't shake the feeling of unease at the thought of leaving their home behind. He glanced over at Sakura, who was lost in her music, her expression serene and peaceful.

He knew that whatever decision they made, they would make it together, united in their love and commitment to each other.

With a determined nod, Ryo closed his laptop and set it aside, turning his attention back to Sakura. "Hey, Sakura," he said softly, reaching out to gently remove her earphones. "I was just reading about these safe zones the government has set up."

Sakura looked up at him, her eyes curious. "Oh? What did you find out?"

Ryo hesitated, unsure of how to broach the topic without revealing his secret. "Well, it seems like they're offering shelter and supplies to anyone who needs it. It might be worth considering."

Sakura nodded thoughtfully, her brow furrowing slightly. "Yeah, it's definitely something to think about. But I feel safe here with you, Ryo."

Ryo smiled, touched by her words. "Me too, Sakura. Me too."

As Sakura leaned in to kiss him, Ryo felt a surge of love and gratitude wash over him. Whatever challenges lay ahead, he knew that as long as they were together, they could face them head-on, united in their love and commitment to each other
