Poison Island Yako, Komuro Takashi and the others did not leave in the end, but after discussing it, they also found reasons for themselves to decide to stay.

Although they didn't go with that group of people, they disposed of the corpses inside the department store, and did a lot of cleaning and sanitation.

But he cleaned up all the dead zombies that had just been attracted by the sound, and then spent a lot of time trying to drive or push some of the vehicles that could still move on the road outside-

Thus using these cars, which had lost their owners, as barricades, blocked the main roads in all four directions of the intersection.

Since zombies can't see or think, so they can't turn around, so they can't consciously climb.

Even if a ladder appears in front of them, they can't do the simple action of climbing the ladder alternately, because the zombie's hand-eye coordination is not low, but not at all.

Poor brains and necrotic musculature make them extremely agile, and whether it's jumping from one place to another, simply getting up and down in place, or standing still to keep their balance, it's a very difficult challenge for these walking dead.

If it is a huge number of corpses pouring over, then a few cars will definitely not be able to block them, and the way of going forward and stacking ladders can solve all difficulties. However, when it comes to simply hindering the movement of a small number of zombies, it is completely sufficient.

The group felt that this was not safe, and by the way, they also blocked the exit of the first floor of some buildings adjacent to the department store inside the circle, including doors and windows.

Because there are obviously some dead zombies moving in there, if they don't do this, it's not sure when they might break down the door or window.

As long as you push a car to block the door or window, you can greatly reduce such a risk, even if the strength of a dead zombie is more than twice that of an ordinary person, it is impossible to overturn and push a vehicle weighing several tons away.

No matter how many dead zombies there are inside the building, they are all the same, and they don't have combined skills, so it is impossible to superimpose their power on the body of an individual. And the number of zombies that can appear at the door or by the window at the same time and exert external power is always limited-

Even if they do have some level of intelligence to do such a thing, space and terrain limit their output.

As for the dead zombies that fell from the windows on the second floor, this situation cannot be said to be none, but the number must be particularly rare, and it is necessary to remove the possibility that they will die directly on the ground first, or break their hands and feet and have limited mobility.

As a result, the area around the department store is no longer able to form a threatening corpse tide, and it has become quite safe......

And after doing all this, everyone also felt exhausted, and the time unconsciously came from morning to two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

They returned to the department store and chose to take a break to recharge their strength and adjust their condition. However, compared with tiredness and fatigue, psychological security and peace of mind are more valuable.

It is precisely because of my own fatigue that I know that I have not missed any places, and I have built the prototype of the initial base of a safe post-apocalyptic human settlement, at least when you sit down to rest, eat, or find a place to sleep, you can feel much more at ease.

I don't say that I woke up like last night, I don't know how many times I woke up in one night, and I always suspected that when I was asleep, a dead zombie walked into my room and approached my bed.

And it's either that the door is not closed, or that I nervously prick up my ears and listen carefully to the voice of the companion next door......

Anyway, I didn't have a good rest at all.

Of course, this does not eliminate the most fundamental problem, especially after being idle, there will naturally be people who think crankily and question it, and feel that this approach is not very good-

……

……

"Speaking of which, is that really good?"

The person who spoke was Miyamoto Rei, this girl had a tired look on her face, and there was also a very obvious restlessness in the depths of her eyes, which she couldn't hide or intend to hide.

With a can of heated coffee in her hands, she sat with her companions on the stairs leading from the first-floor hall to the second-floor.

"We're really going to ...... Want to stay here? Is this what the rest is all about? It's not like it's okay, I'm going to go to everyone's home to have a look, first make sure that the family is safe, and then ......"

"yes, we're done...... But that's because we thought things were too simple before. ”

Komuro Takashi, who was sitting on the bottom staircase, smiled bitterly, and also looked depressed.

"If all goes well, why are we here now? Instead of going back to our respective homes, is this what we think for ourselves? ”

"But......" Rei Miyamoto opened her mouth.

"Nothing but, we have to admit, we really had wishful thinking before. The whole world is like this, and no place is immune. ”

Saya Takajo said a little indifferently, stretched out a slender white index finger and pushed his glasses, "It's like last night, we thought the other side was safe, and the person on the other side thought our side was safe......"

Everyone suddenly changed color slightly, and their expressions were quite ugly.

But even then, one of the reasons for the traffic jam was that the people on the other side wanted to escape and felt that it was a safe place.

As a result, the people on both sides could not wait to flee to the other side, away from the danger, and the large forces of the two sides met in the middle of the bridge, blocking the road so hard that no one could get out of the way.

In the end, I don't know how many people have survived the first wave of shock without warning, but they are stunned because they made a wrong judgment, resulting in worthless burial of themselves again.

Even their group almost fell into the same fate, and it can really only be said that they can only be said to be lucky to survive. It's ridiculously naïve to think about it now, obviously that ...... That person had already made it clear that their actions were simply to send them to death.

However, no one at the time wanted to admit it, and they refused to believe it.

They just cling to the luck mentality, thinking that they can ignore all the risks, successfully cross the river, and return to the civilized world of normal human beings.

- Then, I was slapped hard by reality.

“…… The world is like this right now, not only for us, but also for our families, and you may think that is cold, but denying reality is not going to help us or our families in any real way. ”

Saya Takajo hugged his knees, and said with a hint of deep helplessness in the calm.

"Putting your head in the haystack and thinking it's safe to see out of your eyes...... We've tried that bitter fruit before, haven't we? Poison Island said softly, but he was also echoing Saya Takajo's statement.

"Now that the network communication has been paralyzed, just like traffic and order, we have no way to contact our families for the time being......"

Saya Takashiro seemed to be muttering to himself, and as if he was sorting out his own thoughts-

"And if nothing else, let's all think in a good direction, assuming that your family is safe now, then they must be at home and do not move? Specifically waiting for us to go to a fixed place to find them? ”

Rei Miyamoto pursed her lips tightly.

"If you think about it, it's impossible, you take a big risk to go over, even if you don't die halfway, it's very likely that you won't find them......" Saya Takajo glanced at her and continued lightly, "Maybe they're even looking for you." ”

"That'...... So what to do? Did we just give up? Miyamoto was a little excited.

"It's not that we just give up, but we need a more secure plan, better than just dying on the road, right? In that case, there is really no hope at all, and only by letting yourself survive well can there be a possibility later. ”

Saya Takashiro sighed.

"This is the safest place we can find at the moment, despite the ...... There is something wrong with that person, but at least he has no ill will and will not hurt humanity for no reason, and from what we experienced yesterday and what those people said, it should be ...... is a sure......"

In the end, the girl's voice became smaller and quieter, and she seemed to be seriously lacking in confidence.

After all, it is not difficult to find a reason to explain, to try to rationalize a thing and turn it into the "truth" that you are willing to accept and believe, but to find a reason to find a reason, you should be afraid.

The strange and terrifying, bloody and cruel scene of the morning is still vivid in their minds and deeply engraved in their souls.

“……”

“……”

For a while, everyone was strangely silent, their eyes were complicated and silent.

They had all seen the weirdness and horror of that person, and even suspected that the other party was not human at all, which also corresponded to many clues from before...... Logically speaking, they should have been afraid and jealous, and immediately fled far away, and they didn't even approach to death.

However, this is the zombie apocalypse, they have nowhere to escape, and in such a bad world, a monster who has no malice towards himself, can speak and communicate well, and can understand human beings-

The strength represented is no longer a pure threat, but may also be transformed into a sense of security and security.

Anyway, no matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than those zombies who have no humanity and only instinctively eat people, right? It can be said that under their desperation, they have some broken jars and broken mentality.

Others probably chose to stay because of this, rather than fleeing to face the apocalyptic world outside and the endless walking dead, because the latter really doesn't give people a way to live at all.

"You say, 'That'...... That classmate Xia Ran, is he a human being? Hirano Toda stopped talking, but finally he couldn't help but say it, but he wasn't scared at all, so he turned his head a little cautiously and looked upstairs.

After all, I don't know who made it, as long as it is discussing other people's affairs behind the back, then that person will always appear behind the discussant inexplicably.

The other people were the same, they looked at each other, and they also subconsciously turned their heads to look at the second floor of the stairs behind them, worried that the person would come down unknowingly, standing on the steps behind them.

"Hmph, you don't need to think about this kind of thing at all, I've already said it before-"

After confirming that nothing terrible had happened, Saya Takashiro gritted his teeth.

"He's able to shoot a sniper rifle with a normal bow and arrow, and that speed isn't normal at all, and don't you see that too? It is impossible for a normal person's arm to split into that kind of biological weapon! How could he be human, maybe even the name is fake......"

"Hey, how do you smear people's innocence out of thin air?"

At this time, Xia Ran's dissatisfied voice came.

Everyone suddenly stiffened, and subconsciously turned around, only to see that the subject of their discussion appeared at the bottom of the stairs and stood there at some point.
