Transmigrated into Another Apocalyptic World (BL)

So Luciel also knew that Treyton and the others were always fully prepared, but even if people are thoroughly prepared, accidents can still happen. And accidents are really hard to prevent once they do.

"Yeah, I know. But when it happens, it really dampens everything. And it just happens, as if to mock our hard work and effort in planning everything, which just makes me feel worse," Treyton said and had another drink before adding, "By the way, where did you hear about someone injured by zombies but woke up as an ability user, so they didn't turn into a zombie? I haven't heard any case of that happening in the base."

"I just heard it being mentioned by some people gossiping while I was visiting around the base. So, it's just a baseless rumor," Luciel said casually.

"I see, but thanks for mentioning it anyway. It's still better to have a little hope than nothing."

"Yeah. That's why I mentioned it."

Besides, Luciel mentioned it because it's really not just a baseless rumor at all. If it were truly baseless, he wouldn't have brought it up at all, since he doesn't want to offer hope with no foundation whatsoever.

He only mentioned it because in the novel he had read, it was indeed possible, especially during the current time they were in.

It had already been months since the start of the apocalypse and the day people began gaining their abilities.

Since it had been months, some people who originally didn't have any powers should have awakened by now.

But most of the people who had actually awakened were probably not even aware of it, especially if they hadn't triggered it yet, just like those who had abilities at the very start but hadn't noticed anything.

So, if someone was already on the verge of awakening their powers, then being injured by zombies could actually hasten their awakening as their body tries to fight off the zombie virus. And if they succeeded, they wouldn't turn into zombies at all, but instead wake up as ability users.

So, if Camille had the potential to awaken and had at least accumulated a lot of power in his body already, then he would indeed have a chance to fight the zombie virus in him and awaken as someone with superpowers.

Camille was only grazed by the arrow, and the arrow probably didn't have much zombie virus left. That's why the spread of the zombie virus in Camille's wound was very slow.

If he had been directly injured by a zombie or bitten, then the spread of the zombie virus would have been much faster and wouldn't have just spread two inches from the injured area between the time Camille was injured and the time he showed it to them.

So, if Camille really had the potential to awaken, then the slow spread of the zombie virus would actually be more beneficial for him, as his body would have more time to fight the virus off.

So, the chances of Camille surviving really weren't zero at all.

"I really hope Camille could survive. He's really good at his job and was even learning more from Nathan.

He also trains hard when he isn't helping out in the hospital, so his fighting ability has been continuously improving.

He also livens things up, so he's really good to have in our team.

And with how Zam is reacting, it'd be really bad if we lost Camille because of the zombie virus."

"I haven't seen Zam react like that before. Have you ever seen him act like that toward anyone else?"

"Of course not. He's been with me for a long time, so he's also been exposed to all kinds of beauties. A lot of people have fawned over him since they were also part of my group. Many even tried to seduce him, but they would always fail.

I and the others had asked him many times what he was looking for, but he just wasn't interested.

With how he's tolerating Camille's advances, he probably has some interest in Camille.

If he didn't, then even if Camille is a teammate, Zam wouldn't let him hold his arm for so long or let him touch his muscles."

I've seen Zam twisting someone's arm just for trying to touch him. That person was even considered an acquaintance, as they were good business partners we often dealt with.

But Zam didn't care about that and just twisted the person's hand for trying to touch him, then came to apologize to me afterward for possibly ruining future cooperation.

Of course, I didn't mind, because it's considered harassment if Zam didn't want it.

So, when I saw him letting Camille touch his body at the pool party, even if it was only for a very short time, it was very obvious that he was also interested in Camille.

When he tolerated Camille chasing him around, I was already 50% convinced that he had some interest in Camille. That's why I just watched together with everyone else and didn't give any warning to stop their teasing.

When Zam let Camille touch him, I was already 80% convinced.

And with his reaction a while ago, I'm already 100% sure that he's also interested in Camille.

So, I really hope Camille survives, for Zam's sake," Treyton said and then sighed.

"It would indeed be a pity if Zam, who's never shown interest in anyone before, lost the first person he was ever interested in.

And the others would probably be sad for a long time, especially the kids."

Camille had only been with them for a short while, but he had integrated well with the other members of the team.

And his presence in the team was also significant, both because of his job and his personality. That's why, if he really left, it would be felt immediately.

So, the other members would probably be sad for a long time if Camille really ended up becoming a zombie.
