Chapter 21: The Siege (I)

"So, Takashiro-san's home is the kind of place where you can still be safe even if you fall to the end of the axe?" Xue Qiong sat on the roof of the car and smoked leisurely, talking to the protagonists without a match.

Since two o'clock in the morning, seven people have been running over in Humvees, and because the number of zombies is much denser than in the original game, the front of the car and the doors on both sides have been stained with blood.

There was also an attack by a licker on the way. However, due to the high-speed movement of the car and the presence of Kota Hirano, an excellent gunman, the licker was quickly beaten into a hornet's nest. For Xue Qiong, the only regret is that this one did not succeed in mending the knife.

Cigarettes were one of the fruits of the ransacking of a gas station attached to a convenience store on the road, although Xue Qiong, who first asked to stop, was unanimously considered to have impure motives.

The looted fuel was hung in barrels and hung on the side of the car, while food and water were stuffed into the car.

Now that it was dawn, the seven were taking advantage of the Humvee's amphibious performance to bypass the main bridge blocked by the army and head to the other side of the river. The blood on the body pulled a striking red line in the clear river water. After the car was stuffed with a bunch of survival materials again, it obviously became a lot more crowded, so Xue Qiong took the initiative to take turns to climb onto the roof of the car to make room, and he was the first one himself.

"Haha, I went there a few times when I was young, and it felt like a castle in a fairy tale..."

"I've said it all, I don't expect anything from myself. You don't have to follow me..."Saya Takashiro whispered.

"It's okay, after all," said Kota Hirano, "among those of us, you're the only one with your family still in this city..."

"Hehehe..." Xue Qiong's laughter suddenly came from above.

"Anyway, it's the same as running wherever you go, it's better to go to this place that sounds more sturdy..."Xue Qiong said in a relaxed tone.

In fact, Xue Qiong's heart is not as relaxed as he is now, because although the inertia of the original plot can still be seen, the death of important characters directly caused by the increase in difficulty has also been experienced once before. In the case that the difficulty will continue to increase, it is likely that the plan he had envisioned before of "keeping Gao Cheng's house and not running out, and getting out immediately after surviving these seven days" will be directly in vain.

"Huh? Family? Poison Island, who had been sleeping on a pile of food for hours, woke up rubbing her eyes, "Joan, you're over there..."

“……”

"You're awake? Family..."Xue Qiong rubbed her hair and said something that I didn't know if it was the setting or the truth.

"In my case, the guys who are family... That's the group of neurotics in the organization. Xue Qiong looked at the sky and said with a smile: "Although they have underground fortifications over there, there is no problem with self-protection on my side so far..."

"But... I'm not sure I'll ever see them alive..."

(The difficulty is increased or something, the variables are too great...) Thinking of this, Xue Qiong sighed. Unconsciously, he made a lip shape, as if it were a personal name. But no one, including him, noticed.

“… I'm sorry. Poison Island said.

"Whew...," Xue Qiong let out a long breath again, "Okay, I've been sitting on it for a little longer, and the smell of smoke in my mouth is almost gone, let's change shifts with me." ”

"Oh yes, I'll do it." Kota Hirano took Xue Qiong's place.

"Huh?" Xue Qiong held the railing with one hand, and when he got off the roof of the car, he looked at the appearance of Poison Island for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Tsuneko Poison Island asked.

Xue Qiong pointed to the corner of his mouth.

"Ahh

(Hey, hey, the time this thing came out was exactly the same as the original plot...) However, Poison Island Tsuneko woke up on a plastic bag instead of Komuro Takashi's thigh, and there are a lot of changes in the plot... )

"Hey, what are you looking at, big pervert!" Saya Takajo's voice interrupted Xue Qiong's thoughts, and he realized that he had been staring at Poison Island Tsuneko's face.

"It has been confirmed that there are no zombies on the opposite riverbank." Saya Takajo leaned out of the skylight and looked ahead with a telescope and said.

The Humvee drove out of the water onto the ground.

All seven got out of the car, with the women hiding on one side of the car to change their clothes and the men on the other. The previous night's clothes had been washed and hung to dry on bamboo poles sticking out of the roof of the Humvee. Luckily made it through the growing hordes of zombies, but didn't get any blood.

While the protagonists were changing clothes, Xue Qiong had nothing to do. Because he had only changed the jacket of his school uniform to a trench coat before, he had simply thrown away all the soiled school uniforms the night before and replaced them with clothes that he had exchanged at the transit station. And there wasn't anything on the trench coat before, so he didn't bother to wash it.

"Ah, yes." Xue Qiong took out something that shone with a silver-white metallic light from his pocket, "I found this kind of thing on the way here... Pick it up. As he spoke, he threw the things in his hand at Kota Hirano.

"What is this? Wait, could it be from the dental clinic next door to that convenience store..."

Kota Hirano looked at the small mirror in his hand... The kind from the dentist.

"yes, because I thought of it and took it out." Xue Qiong said nonchalantly, "It can be used to confirm if there are any enemies around the corner... Of course, it's good to use it now..."

"Ah, because I took more than one, you can take this." After Xue Qiong said this with a smile, she lit a cigarette by herself.

"You... Don't look at it? Kota Hirano held the small mirror that Xue Qiong gave him, and he was in a dilemma.

"What's in your hand?" When Hirano was not paying attention, Saya Takashiro had already changed his clothes, and then grabbed his wrist with lightning speed.

"Oh, that," Xue Qiong said without blushing at all, "the gadget I got in the dentist's office before, and I can use it to open the door and explore the way when I am acting alone." ”

Because Saya Takashiro's attention was attracted by Xue Qiong, she didn't notice the cold sweat from Kota Hirano and the thumbs up he quietly gave Xue Qiong.

"Alright, I'll go to the road above the embankment." Xue Qiong stretched and said.

Without waiting for anyone to respond, Xue Qiong walked up the hill softly on her own.

"That, Takashiro-san," Kota Hirano said quietly.

"Yes... Let me go first..."

At this time, Saya Takashiro noticed that Kota Hirano's face was already as red as a persimmon, and his breathing was also rapid to a suspicious level.

"It's not good..."

At this time, Xue Qiong was standing on the edge of the river embankment, in front of him was dotted with zombie asphalt, and behind him was the place where the protagonists who deducted 1,000 points were located.

[Successfully complete the plot on behalf of the protagonist and be rewarded with 500 points.] 】

Xue Qiong lit another cigarette, and paid special attention to covering the lighter with her hand without making any sound.

(It's only 500 points, which is a lot less than last time...) In the original work, this place is empty, and there are no living and dead people... Although there are still a number of Humvees that can be knocked over, in this case, there may be more zombies ahead... )

Thinking of this, Xue Qiong gently walked back to the side of the protagonists.

"Hirano-san, how much ammunition is left in the magazine you were given earlier?" Xue Qiong asked Kota Hirano with a solemn expression.

"Oh, you mean the bullets from that monster submachine gun? On the way to the suppression shot, a little more than two were used, and now there are seven and a half left. ”

"Are there more than 300 rounds left?" Xue Qiong squeezed between her eyebrows with her fingers.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Jing Haoyong, who was on the side, asked.

"I don't know..."Xue Qiong raised his head and said with a wry smile: "There are zombies on the road, the number is not large, but I am more worried about the next situation." ”

"Compared to the other side?" Saya Takashiro asked.

"A little less." Xue Qiong looked at the bumper of the Humvee, which had bent a lot, "But it's still unrealistic to hit it all the way." ”

"So, in this case..."Xue Qiong turned to Kota Hirano with a solemn expression.

"It's up to you, Hirano-san."
