Chapter 26: Chapter 25 - Road
The evening ended with the fact that when I returned, I handed Alice to the girls. They washed her and then fed her with what I cooked. The baby quickly fell asleep. Not surprisingly, she went through a lot today.
Having let go of Kohta, he decided to stand on the watch himself. As I stood on the balcony and looked at the fallen city, various thoughts tormented my head..
It seems that even I was not so easily given the rather cruel execution of those people, but I did not harbor any feelings about this.
Realizing this, I decided to do an introspection. Ask yourself questions and find answers to them. It is very useful to do this. I recommend.
The logical chain led me to two things.
First. This is the "Master of Martial Arts" skill. The skill seems to have reduced the negative emotions of killing. No, I did not become a soulless machine, but the only thing I experienced then was irritation and fatigue.
The second reason is that I myself have already died once. And now knowing that there is a future after death ... There are various paths that God will give you to choose ...
Let's say ... after that I stopped feeling negative emotions towards death. For me it became like in a game ... Yes, like in games. You kill one, and he "spawns" in another place. This is similar to the opinion of religious fanatics. Only they believe in it, and I know. Funny right? Okay, not funny.
All this led to the fact that it became easy for me to condemn people to death, but even here it is not so simple. Thanks to the rules that I try to follow, I won't become a maniac.
Those who attack me must be prepared for me to kill their response.
Those who took up arms should understand that they have ceased to be simple "civilians" and turned into warriors, and I do not feel sorry for a warrior, like a soldier.
Basically, everything, as before, comes down to my interests. I know that there are a lot of pitfalls in my reasoning, and they are strange, but I think time will tell is it worth reconsidering all this or not.
Besides, I have a question for my assistant.
- "Jarvis, you didn't tell me yesterday, but how the virus spreads?" -
- Sorry, just last time we were interrupted. So, the virus is spreading everywhere. In air, water, food ... -
- "Yes? Then why didn't everyone immediately become zombies? " -
- Because the virus, although magical, is still a virus. A small part of it cannot infect healthy people. -
- "Healthy? And the sick? " -
- You guessed right Sir. All those with weak immunity were infected. Old people, children, and all those unlucky enough to be immunocompromised these days. This is how the first zombies appeared. Once infected, the virus multiplies in the body of the zombie. Each zombie is essentially a real hive with a virus. -
- "Clear. It turns out ... until you are weakened and bitten. Are the chances of the appeal extremely minimal? " -
- Yes, sir. -
"Well ... At least some good news. So it will be easier with water and food. " -
In the morning we collected as many useful things as possible and got into the hummer.
This time I was driving and as it turns out, if you are in the driver's seat and shoot down a zombie, it counts as a murder.
The task
Kill 1,000 Undead
Reward - 50 Stat Points
Current Progress - 338 / 1.000
Pretty good, huh? And it's convenient ... Just sitting behind the wheel and driving, I got the skill.
Ground Transportation Management [Lv 23] - With each skill level you increase your ground transportation skills.
(Additional: For each level of the skill, the effectiveness of your driving skills increases by 10%.)
Good skill. Thanks to him, I can perfectly manage absolutely everything that moves on the ground. From tank to bike.
The funny thing is that when I swam across the river in a car, it was highlighted.
Water Transport Management [Lv 1] - With each skill level you increase your water transport skills.
(Optional: For each skill level raised, the effectiveness of your driving skills increases by 10%.)
Without thinking for a long time, I simply combined both skills and it turned out ...
Transport Management [Lv 1] - With each skill level you increase your Transport Management skill.
(Optional: For each skill level raised, the effectiveness of your driving skills increases by 10%.)
Iii ... Now I can manage any transport available to me. Very comfortably.
When we crossed the river, we had to decide where to go. Although I already knew where, I still asked. - Well, now where are we going to eat? -
- Takagi, have you moved? - Asked Takashi - If not, then your home is the closest. -
"Of course not, you idiot. My second home is Higashisake. -
God ... Does she think I know the whole city by heart?
- Hmm ... Well let's go, if you tell me where to turn. - I said to her, turning the steering wheel.
- Saya, when we arrive, your parents ... - said Rei, clearly worried.
- Yes, I understand ... And I do not cherish excessive hope. -
While driving to Takagi's house, he noted that there were no zombies on the streets, which means that somewhere there is a large crowd of ghouls. Most likely they are heading towards the Takagi residence.
Do you know the noise of hundreds of people is perfectly audible in an empty city. Did Takagi's parents think about it? I hope so...
But you know. Hope for the best. Prepare for the worst.
And it seems that the first problems appeared.
- There is a contact! - exclaimed Kohta - At twelve o'clock!
- Normally say an idiot! - kicked him Saya
- Oh, it hurts. Zombies are right on the road. Large crowd. - he said and rubbed his broken rolls.
- Turn left! Takagi screamed in my ear.
- Well, let's try to the left. - turning, I said.
But there was a bigger crowd on the new path.
- And there is! Hirano exclaimed again. "Ahead!" Two hundred meters to the contact! -
- Let's go to the right! Takagi shouted again.
- Well, let's go to the right ... -
- And here they are! Kami! Well, at least a little less! GIVE THEM! - she screamed in my ear ... Seriously, I can go deaf.
Knocking down the ghouls like a bowling ball, we gradually drove up to the middle of the street.
- STOP! Stop! Rei screamed.
- They pulled the wire there! Turn! - shouted my beloved.
- Oops. Why turn ... Hirano give me a quick gun. - I said, stretching out my hand to Kohta.
- What for? Well, take it. He said and held out his revolver.
Oh ~ oh not bad. Smith & Wesson 66 - 4.
Good model. I've had enough with my head ...
Stretching out his hand through the window "without aiming" he fired five times. In a "magical" manner, all five bullets broke the taut wire, resulting in a passageway.
Actually, I could stop and single-handedly kill the whole crowd, but what is it for now? There are other people with me and I don't really want to take risks in vain. Well, not in vain. The reward for the task just beckons, but I am stronger than this ... Then I will do it alone.
Hirano, seeing my feint, burst into flames - GOD! THAT WAS INCREDIBLE! Even my instructor couldn't do that! -
- We passed !? We drove through! - could not believe Saya. In my opinion, the girl's heart ran into her heels.
- You scared us all with a club! - Rei hit me on the shoulder - And what would have happened if you had not hit, eh! - she continued to hit me on the shoulder, sentencing.
- Nothing would change. It seems to me that a multi-ton military vehicle will be able to overcome such a powerful obstacle as a stretched wire. -
While we were talking, a convoy of cars appeared on our way.
- Column of cars! Twelve o'clock! Until the contact is left ... Ay! Do not hit me! It hurts Takagi! - shouted "Rambo" under the blows of Saya.
Slowly stopping the car, he waited.
- Kohta ... Instead of talking, it would be better if you took aim at the people in front. - I said, stopping or rather postponing the beating of the chubby.
- Yes sir! He shouted, delighted with the amnesty.
- Wait! - exclaimed Komuro. - Why? -
- So that as a last resort we have an advantage in eliminating them, of course. - I said calmly, shrugging my shoulders - Even if they are not hostile, you still need to show that we are ready for battle. This will show that you should not play with us. -
- But you shouldn't stick your weapon at every passer-by ... -
"And we are not everyone, Takashi. - I threw a glance at him - We have a car, weapons, cartridges, food and beautiful women here. Tell me how bad guys can miss this, huh? -
After my words, there was silence ... Everyone thought about it.
- Nobody talks about the attack. Most likely they are good people, but it is better to show right away that we are not easy prey ... That there is a price that they will have to pay before taking something from us. -
- He's right. Only recently they tried to rob us, and me. - said Rei, her face darkening. She clearly remembered being taken hostage.
- That's what I'm talking about. As the saying goes. "If you want peace, prepare for war." -
- Darling is right. The criminals are just waiting for the common people to show weakness. -
- Oh, you will of course support him. - Saya threw an eloquent look at Saeko - But yes, I also agree with that. -
While we were talking, the cars stopped. People in special uniforms began to emerge from them.
- They look like firefighters. - muttered Kohta.
- Let's see, I don't think they were going to put out the fire. Okay, I'll go talk. Cover me. - I said and got out of the car.
- Be careful. - threw after Saeko.
- Ofcourse honey. - I said and "pecked" her in the lips.
Then he slowly walked towards our "firemen".
- Greetings. How can I help you? - I said, going up to them.
- Hello. We would like to know how you got here. - I heard a beautiful female voice from under the mask. Come on, I already know that this is Sai's mother.
- Through the wire behind us. I pointed over my shoulder with my thumb.
- what? -
- She disturbed us. So I shot her and made my way. -
- Perfectly. May I know your name? She asked, clearly not very happy with the news of the destroyed fence.
- Yuki Shiro. Fujimi Academy student, at your service. - I bowed caricaturely.
- Are you Yuki Shiro? Clear. I'm Takagi Yuriko. My daughter talked about you. According to her stories, I imagined you a little different. -
- And what? -
- Well, she said that you are the best student in the school and that it pisses her off, that you surpassed her in grades. So I thought you would be much smaller and more puny. - Yuriko said, taking off her mask.
- I think you are not to blame, Saya describes people very badly. By the way, she's with me in that car. - I pointed to the hummer.
- What? Is my daughter here? With you? God, what a joy. - She said, finally taking off her hat.
The face of Yuriko Takagi was shown ...
And I must say that she's just a bomb. Long dark pink hair and large expressive eyes of the same color. Thin eyebrows, small soft sponges. Slightly warmed skin clear skin ... I know I like these milfs ...
Okay, enough, I have Saeko.
- Are you sure Saya's mother? More like an older sister. I smiled supportively.
- Oh-oh-oh-oh, thanks for the compliment, but I already know that I'm old. She laughed, covering her mouth with her hand.
- Old? God, women only flourish with age. -
- Well, stop embarrassing me. - she said ... But it just doesn't smell like embarrassment, only self-satisfaction. It looks like Yuriko doesn't often hear compliments in her direction, which is strange.
Turning towards the car, he shouted. - Hirano! You can remove them from the front sight! These are yours! Tell Saya that her mom is here! -
- Okay! - came his voice.
- Did you keep us at gunpoint? Do you have a weapon? Yuriko asked in surprise.
- You heard ... - I answered with all the available "honesty".
She didn't even have time to react, when Saya had already come running with tears of joy in her eyes and jumped into her mother's arms.
- Mother! It's so good that you're alive! -
- And how glad I am my daughter. Father and I did not find a place for ourselves. -
- Is dad all right? -
- Yes, he organized a shelter in our house for everyone. You know him ... -
- Yes, I know ... - Saya answered somehow not very happily.
In the end, we helped Yuriko and her people upgrade their defenses, and then together we went to Takagi's mansion.
