SS2 "Advice for Evacuation"

The trumpet of the end sounds pufu-ku-puu.

The gates of hell swing wide open, and the dead wander aimlessly across the world.

Right now, in this world, the zombie apocalypse—once just a fantasy—has become reality.

"Everything's over already!"

"Haha! It's a world ruled by violence!"

Are you thinking something like that?

I understand how you feel. But don't panic just yet.

Before changing into a spiked shirt with barely any fabric and shaving your hair into a mohawk, why not try life at the shelter first?

Since we don’t know when this crisis will end, we must prepare for a long struggle.

We humans must stand together to resist this whim of the divine.

Let’s join forces and survive this apocalyptic world!

So, I've gathered some common questions you might have.

If you're curious, go ahead and check it out!

Q: Which is safer—home or a shelter?

A: The shelter is far safer.

That's because shelters gather a lot of "information."

In today's world, there's nothing more valuable than "information."

I understand the comfort of being at home, but that could leave you isolated when you need help the most.

Q: What procedures are needed for evacuation?

A: Upon arriving at the shelter, you'll likely be directed to the registration desk inside the Kogake High School building.

There, you'll record your personal information (name, age, family composition, allergies, health condition, special skills), and undergo a brief check to see if you've been bitten by a "zombie."

Q: What about housing after evacuation?

A: You'll be assigned to a building somewhere within the barricaded area.

At this time, you might share a typical single-family home with a few households, but this is only allowed for those who have expressed interest—such as friends or relatives you already know—so please don’t worry!

There’s no need to worry about suddenly living with complete strangers!

Q: What about daily life after evacuation?

A: For those under 15 years old… you’ll be able to attend daily classes held within the school building.

Those aged 16 to 19... will be offered optional classes, or assigned work similar to adults.

Those aged 20 and above... will be assigned jobs according to their individual abilities.

※ Absolutely no one will be forced to participate in "zombie" hunting against their will!

Q: What items are needed for evacuation?

A: Clothing... please bring only what can fit in your carry-on bag, and choose your favorite items.

Earplugs... Even inside the barricade, you might find it hard to sleep due to the moans of the "zombies."

Glasses... Prepare a spare pair as well. Handle them with care—never break them.

Towels... An essential item. As long as you always know exactly where your towel is, your life will be secure.

Entertainment... Keep it compact and packable in your bag. Board games are especially welcome.

Emotional comfort... family photos, favorite idol or character merchandise, and the like.

Q: Conversely, what should be avoided?

A: Food... Since meals will be rationed, bring only the absolute minimum. Also, any food already at home will generally be collected and shared among everyone at the shelter.

Over-the-counter medication... treated the same as food supplies. There is sufficient stock of essentials, including sanitary products, at the shelter. If conditions are severe, you may request healing services using "magic."

Portable TV and radio... a standard evacuation item, but currently completely useless.

Smartphone... becomes unusable fairly quickly. Phone calls won't work either.

Money... not even worth using as toilet paper anymore. Trash!

One late night, past midnight.

At a classroom in Sakagahara High School.

"...Hmm. Was there anything else I should write?"

"Good evening, senpai."

"Oh, it's you, Komano Asuka. What brings you here so late?"

"No reason. I was just wondering why you're still awake this late. -- Are you writing something?"

"No, you know, there are quite a few people around here who've been holed up in their homes outside the barricades."

"Yeah, that came up in this morning's meeting too."

"I was asked by Mr. Sasaki to draft a flyer for those kinds of people."

"Well now, a senior like you handling such a trivial task..."

"He said not to spend much time on it—just jot it down quickly."

"Well then, why don't you just do that?"

"I'm just not good at cutting corners on things like this."

"Hmm. Sounds pretty typical of you, senpai. Can't bend the rules, can you?"

"Mind your own business."

"But you know, people who're still holed up at home still expect us to help out, yet they only want supplies sent over—kind of annoying, don't you think?"

"Well, you see, during disasters, it's only natural that aid should be provided."

"Even for people like that? They get supplies too?"

"Yes."

"Such selfish people should just be left alone."

"That's not how it works, though."

"Is that so? Hmm..."

"Humans are naturally self-centered. It's completely natural to be selfish. Isn't that right?"

"Hmm..."

"But just because that's how people are doesn't mean it's okay to bother others... I just hope that, by reading this flyer, even a little, people like that might start to rethink their ways. Nobody really accepts dying alone, do they?"

"……Mmm. Mmm, mmm, mmm."

"What's wrong? You're staring at me so intensely."

"Whenever someone says things like 'try to be kind to everyone,' I just... get flustered."

"Huh? Why?"

I was just about to get into my futon, but if I don't help you, it'll feel like I've done something wrong.

"Yeah? I mean, I'm not really..."

No, it's too late now. Amano Asuka has already decided to spend this evening as your escort.

No, I mean, if you're going to snap back at me like that...

"But I also absolutely love your kind of personality, ZE!"

Ah, yeah. Hey there.

Then let's get this done quickly! Let's make the world a little better—one ZE fan at a time!
