Arenozzi's Escape

A zombie disaster swept the world, causing human civilization to collapse overnight. Ari and Roz, a pair of ordinary lovers, were both infected on the first night of the disaster. Ari survived the transformation period during the high fever and gained strength beyond ordinary people, but since then he has been hovering on the edge of human nature and bestiality. And Roz—— She didn't mutate and she didn't wake up. She fell into a deep coma that no one had ever seen before. Her body temperature dropped day by day, her skin became as pale as porcelain, and her breathing was so weak that it was almost non-existent. But she's still alive. What's even weirder is that a mysterious blue crystal core has condensed in her body, emitting a cold glimmer through her skin in the darkness. That crystal core is the crazy desire of the zombies. They will follow her breath across mountains and ridges, they will gather into a raging tide of corpses in order to get close to her, and they will make hungry whimpers every night because of her presence. They want to tear her apart, devour her, and take away the crystal core—— Because that's the key to evolution. Carrying his comatose lover, Ari has become the loneliest guardian in this apocalyptic world. He walked through cities, wilderness, and ruins, one after another, avoiding the hunting of zombies and the plots of similar people. He wanted to find a place, a place that could explain all this, a place where Roz could open his eyes again. He didn't know what would happen when Roz's body temperature dropped to zero. I don't know whether the crystal core is devouring her life or giving birth to new life.
