The Socially Anxious Little Zombie Forced Outdoors

Lin An, plagued by severe social anxiety and obsessive cleanliness, rarely ventured outside, preferring to spend his days indoors, shopping via his smartphone and ordering takeout. As the apocalypse descended, his frail body inevitably succumbed to the virus, transforming him into a zombie. First Attempt: The irrational, starving zombie Lin An, driven by a bloodthirsty frenzy, screeched as he opened the door. Outside, the scene was gruesome with bloodstains everywhere, scattered remains of gnawed limbs, and various items dropped in haste by those fleeing. Quietly, he closed the door. Second Attempt: Hearing human voices outside, the famished zombie Lin An opened the door again, ready to pounce on his prey. Upon opening the door, he locked eyes with five residents stealthily scavenging for supplies. Intimidated by their five pairs of terrified, piercing stares, Lin An quietly shut the door again and hid himself inside a cabinet. Third Attempt: Finally, hunger triumphed over his social anxiety and cleanliness fixation. Wearing a mask and gloves, he stepped outside. In the neighborhood, he found fresh ‘food’, happily dragged it home, cleaned it thoroughly, and prepared for a hearty feast.
