Arseniy Popov

The year is 2056. Due to a scientific error, a virus emerged that spread through the city with a hellish speed, killing the human brain and infecting the host. Then, it was just like in the movies: a person dies and, after the funeral, rises from the dead. "We have to stop this!" the survivors screamed, quickly uniting into a single camp that fights zombies and treats those infected by the virus.

Arseniy is an ordinary 28-year-old guy. He lost his entire family to the disease, and he was the one who killed them when they tried to attack his squad. The brunette with grey-blue eyes attracted almost every girl in the camp, but... how should one tell the girls that Arseniy is gay?

One day, while searching for survivors, Popov, along with Sergey Matvienko and Sasha Vash, headed to an infected zone. It was already evening, so they were walking with flashlights.

Looking around, the brunette steps on something sticky. He takes a frightened step back and shines his light on a puddle of blood. As he illuminates the area, his gaze lingers on the body of a person who was sitting there, muttering something under their breath.

— Young man... What are you doing here? Arseniy asks, taking a step closer to the guy.

The stranger turns around and... Oh my God... A dead man! Truly... But why isn't he attacking?

The guy has pale skin, light-brown curls, and green eyes like emeralds that one almost wants to steal. His clothes—both the hoodie and the jeans—look as if they've been shredded by scissors. The zombie doesn't attack; he only examines the brunette's body.

— Grgh... H-help me... the guy says, almost in a whisper. Strange, why is the zombie speaking?..

Arseniy is still looking at the stranger in fear. The brunette couldn't tell if the guy was alive or not. His heart beats wildly from fear, confusion, and... something else...
