Chapter 23: The Price
"How long have I fainted this time..."After Xue Qiong woke up, she shook her head, and asked this sentence before she even opened her eyes.
"Hey, don't move yet...", a woman's voice came from above.
Xue Qiong opened her eyes, only to find that her vision was completely blocked.
"Ahh This size... Did Mr. Jukawa not run away? ”
Then Xue Qiong found out that he had been moved to the passenger seat and was now pillowed on Shizuka Jukawa's lap.
(Now this state of mind...) It's true that I'm back to the second stage, but my head hurts a little ... )
Xue Qiong's thinking and perception were recovering little by little, allowing him to confirm his current state one by one.
The car had stopped, and as you could see from the window, it was almost completely dark.
Outside, the sound of gunfire was constantly being heard.
"Wait, I'll see how you are now..."Shizuka Jukawa interrupted Xue Qiong's confirmation of the surrounding situation.
"I know my own situation best..."Xue Qiong sat up, moving the joints of her whole body with strange movements, "What is the situation now?" How long have I been dizzy? ”
"Really..."Shizuka Jukawa struck another pose of putting her finger to her lips, "It's probably over... More than an hour? It's six o'clock now..."
"And then I just accidentally drove the car into a dead end, and it was full of zombies, crowded like a can..."Shizuka Jukawa said unhurriedly, sounding without any sense of crisis: "Even if I want to crash out again, I can't speed up... So everyone else went out and cleaned up..."
"Wait, a dead end..."Xue Qiong had an ominous premonition in her heart.
Xue Qiong grabbed a bottle of sports drink that he had scavenged before, which was the kind of glucose brine with many additives, and poured it into his mouth to restore his strength, while opening the car door and walking out.
"Bastard..."
What caught Xue Qiong's eyes was a familiar scene...
A wide road blocked by barbed wire, flanked by cliffs that can only be climbed up by a narrow staircase, and a three-way pedestrian bridge with a circular flower bed in the middle 50 meters away...
The only thing that is different from the original here and now, is time.
In the original work, the rescue team of the Gao Cheng family appeared here in the evening, and now the sky is dark...
"It's... Is there a price for purposefully forcibly changing the plot..."
"We can only be stones thrown into the river, but we can't be a dam that really changes the direction of the flow... This feeling of powerlessness is really..."Xue Qiong put her hands in front of her face and grabbed her hair.
"I really suspect now that this 'plot world' has a will of its own, and it is constantly trying to make the world run according to its original plot track..."
It seems that because this is a space-related topic, close at hand, holding the crossbow taken out from someone else's house, Saya Takashiro, who was guarding the car, obviously couldn't hear the details, she glanced at Xue Qiong and said:
"What are you muttering about? If you can move, hurry up and help, bad boy! ”
Xue Qiong quickly drank the sports drink in his hand, feeling that the glucose was emitting into the blood vessels of the whole body at an aggressive speed, turning into energy. He stretched, then lit a cigarette and looked at the dense crowd of zombies in front of him. On the other side of the barbed wire fence behind him, because of the increase in difficulty, it is now full of zombies, which makes Xue Qiong give up the idea of using a dagger to cut through the barbed wire fence to escape.
"How long have we been parked?"
"Forty minutes." Saya Takashiro said with a glance at his watch.
Now the zombie tide has been forcibly stopped, and even the protagonist is still pushing in the other direction little by little. The direct reason is that the poison island Senko senpai who rushed to the front, the price is equal to the katana that is directly equivalent to the kill reward on her, and the zombie can be directly cut in half every time, and even because of the ignorance of the characteristics of defense and strength bonuses, the physical consumption of each knife will be smaller, which makes her the most powerful clearing machine here, and the enemies killed by the suppressive shots carried out by Jing Haoyong and Hirano Kota with semi-automatic rifles are not at all comparable to her fraction, It was also possible for Takashi Komuro, who was carrying fifty rounds of ammunition-loaded automatic weapons in one arm, to compare the cleaning speed with her, but he also retreated when he realized that his quasi-head was just wasting bullets in vain like Xue Qiong.
+12 weapon, in the hands of the person who suits it best, emits a rapidly flashing blue light, which looks like a lightsaber from a distance.
"Tsuko, go back first!!" Xue Qiong shouted towards the battlefield in front of him, "You've been cutting for forty minutes!"
Hearing this, Poison Island Tsuneko glanced back and found that he was the only one in the zombie pile.
Then the senior sister shook her long hair, turned around and pulled out her knife, and immediately cleared a blank space and quickly ran back. Due to the previous clearance, it is estimated that it will take more than two minutes for the zombies to move over a little bit, and there are also corpses that have been cut in half and tripped on the ground...
(Oops, this strength is completely different from the original...) Xue Qiong looked at Poison Island Rim thoughtfully, and then asked:
"Have you eaten dinner?"
“……”
"Why ask this question... I haven't eaten yet. ”
"Take turns eating, replenish your strength, and prepare for a breakthrough." Xue Qiong took a hard puff of his cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it fiercely.
"After I woke up, my combat power had just reached a critical level, and I could divide the people who rushed forward into two groups. Xiao and I will drag them first, and you and the people who are guarding the place will fill your stomachs as fast as you can, and then rest and digest for twenty minutes. Xue Qiong looked at the endless tide of zombies in the night, and said calmly, "As for Yongheno on the roof of the car, you have to work hard and keep suppressing the shooting." Twenty minutes later, I went up to the top, Xiao and I had dinner, and then we cleaned up the zombies together to a distance of eighty meters in front! Mr. Jukawa, in this case, the acceleration distance is enough, right? ”
"Huh...? Yes! It should work..."
Xue Qiong turned to Komuro Takashi and asked, "How many bullets are there for the submachine gun?" ”
"Six, fifty-round magazines."
When exchanging this submachine gun, Xue Qiong still missed the lack of experience, the bullets of this submachine gun are completely different from any general specifications, so one less round is used.
Xue Qiong pinched his eyebrows, "Control it, if necessary, use it as a melee weapon for point shooting... Leave at least three left, because when the breakout comes, you have to open the way with saturated firepower. ”
"Wait!!" Poison Island interrupted Xue Qiong's words, "You just woke up, and your stomach is as hungry as we are!" He told me that he was going to go up for 20 minutes! Are you kidding? ”
"Hehehehehehe..."Xue Qiong laughed sickly.
"I'm confident," Xue Qiong said, pulling out two small syringe guns from the inner pocket of the trench coat (actually storage space).
"What's that?" Tsumiko Poison Island has a sense of foreboding.
"Aphrodisiac-medicine oh~~~"
The smile on Xue Qiong's face remained unchanged, and he threw one of them to Poison Island Tsuneko, and then injected the second one into his thigh without hesitation.
Looking at Xue Qiong's familiar behavior in front of her, Shizuka Jukawa said angrily:
"Hey! You're putting something suspicious again..."
"No, I'm very trusting this time..."It seems that Xue Qiong is indeed very confident in the things made by his fellow researchers, although the maker is indeed a very unreliable person.
Wear the black gloves that you exchanged before just in case. It is worthy of being tailor-made in the transit station, and the feeling of each finger is very comfortable, much better than the pair that Xue Qiong used to buy casually.
Xue Qiong rubbed his wrist, then pulled out the black dagger placed on his back waist, and grinned at the zombies, revealing his teeth that were slightly yellowed from years of smoking.
“5D777… It's really a failure, and now I have a burning feeling in all parts of my body except for my crotch..."
