Chapter 23: 23

As the morning sun cast its warm glow over the desolate city, Ryo stirred from his slumber, his mind already buzzing with plans for the day ahead. Today, he would venture beyond the familiar confines of his rooftop sanctuary and explore the vast expanse of the city using his newly acquired scooter.

After a quick breakfast and a final check of his weapons, Ryo set off into the silent streets, the hum of the scooter's engine the only sound breaking the eerie silence. As he navigated through the labyrinthine streets, he couldn't help but marvel at the sight of the once-bustling city now reduced to a ghost town, its streets overrun by the undead.

Despite the desolation, Ryo pressed on, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any signs of danger. To his relief, the zombies paid him no heed, their vacant stares fixed on some unseen horizon as he passed by unnoticed.

As the sun began its descent towards the horizon, Ryo decided it was time to return home. Despite the growing darkness and the increasing number of zombies roaming the streets, he made his way back to his rooftop sanctuary without incident, his scooter gliding smoothly through the abandoned city.

Upon his return, Ryo took stock of his spoils, laying out his newly acquired gadgets and supplies with a sense of satisfaction. Despite the dangers that lurked outside his door, he knew that he was one step closer to securing his survival in this unforgiving new world.

With a weary but contented sigh, Ryo settled in for the night, the soft glow of his gadgets casting a warm light in the darkness. As he drifted off to sleep, he couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos—a hope that with careful planning and resourcefulness, he might just have a chance at surviving the zombie apocalypse after all
