Chapter 37: Yuriko's Wrath (2)
"Maruyama! When did you become such a mother-in-law? Yuriko looked at the adjutant in front of her with displeasure.
"I'm sorry madam, I just said that the convoy eliminated the zombies outside, and then the convoy entered the warehouse smoothly, the situation in the warehouse is consistent with the previous intelligence, the materials piled up are enough for our base for a long time, and the zombies have already been cleaned up."
"Isn't that great? So why? Yuriko was puzzled, if this was the case, this hunt should have gone well, why did Maruyama Takashi say such a bad result just now?
"But when the convoy was about to finish moving, an accident happened!" Takashi Maruyama hesitantly glanced at Yuriko Takashiro and said, "A fearful person has appeared in the warehouse!" ”
"The Fearful?" Yuriko wondered, what was that?
Although Yuriko had seen the horror of the Fearful in the Takashiro family, and her husband had died because he wanted to cover her retreat, and he almost let Li Ye die at his hands later, she didn't know the real name of the monster, so now she didn't think of it when she heard the name of the Fear.
"Well, yes, according to the captain of Eguchi who came back, they encountered a sneak attack by that high-level zombie named the Feared One at the end, and they suffered heavy casualties, and if it weren't for the help of Young Master Komuro Takashi and Miss Poison Island Tsumiko, it was even possible that the entire army would have been wiped out at that time." Maruyama Takashi didn't believe it when he heard the news at first, he didn't believe that there were such terrible monsters in this world, even if the zombies in the outside world were terrible, it was because of the infection of the surname and number.
But after Eguchi said a piece of news, Maruyama Takanobu said.
"According to Captain Eguchi, the name of the feared man was told to him by Master Komuro, and it ......"
"And what?"
"As the young master of the drama Komuro said, it was this kind of high-level zombie called the Fearful One who killed Soichiro Takashiro and injured the young master Komuro in the first place." Maruyama Takashi also believed it when he heard Eguchi Du say this, although there were not many soldiers in the Takajo Villa at the beginning, but there were dozens of people, plus the head of the family who was not weak in swordsmanship, only the lady escaped under the cover of the head of the family, and the strength of the fearful person could be seen.
"Are you saying that the one who attacked the convoy was the kind of monster you encountered at the Tall City Villa?!" Yuriko didn't know if it was okay, but when she knew it, she stood up all of a sudden, recalling the scene when she first met that monster, and Yuriko was scared for a while! The breathing was also a lot shorter, and a few deep breaths temporarily stabilized the mind.
Due to the deep breathing, Yuriko Takashiro's chest rose and fell, and the chest that had not sagged because of the passage of time almost stretched out the military uniform on her body because of the passage of time.
If it was Li Ye who was standing here now, he would probably be very happy to feast his eyes and even fall into a fantasy, but the Maruyama Takashi in front of him was different, although he was only thirty-two years old and in the prime of life, if he changed to another man, such a beautiful woman appeared in front of him, and he made such a move, it is estimated that he would not be able to stand it. But he was different, his heart died on that day ten years ago. For women have been completely desperate, so seeing such a beautiful scenery is also like turning a blind eye to the air.
"You just said that it was because of the relationship between filial piety and the daughter of the Poison Island family that you didn't let the fears start a war and slaughter?" After Yuriko calmed down, she sounded the question in Maruyama's words just now.
"Yes! According to Captain Eguchi, Young Master Komuro and Miss Poison Island are very strong, and the two of them used only the Murata knife to force back the dreaders. Takashi Maruyama was skeptical about this, so many soldiers couldn't deal with the fearful, what could two high school students do?
"That's right." Yuriko believed it, because she had seen Li Ye and Yanzi deal with the fearful at the beginning, although it seemed that the two were not in a good situation at that time, and Li Ye was still injured.
Maruyama Takashi wondered why Yuriko Takashiro trusted the two high school students so much, but he didn't ask, but continued to report.
"Yes, after that, the Dreads temporarily retreated and hid, but because they were afraid of being attacked on the way out of the convoy and increasing the casualties, the Captain Eguchi left a team of people to block the Dreads." Speaking of this, Maruyama Takashi stopped, not to say that the report was over, but that he didn't know how to tell the lady in front of him about the next thing.
"Left someone down after the break? That's a mortal mission. Yuriko muttered to herself, "But there was no way at that time, and the necessary sacrifices were not possible in order to help the convoy leave." ”
"Hmm......" Maruyama Takashi looked at Yuriko Takashiro speechlessly, he didn't know if Madame would be so sure when he heard the following news.
"Speaking of which, what about this loss? How much supplies were brought back? There is also a list of the dead who are calculated, and the few soldiers who have been cut off are included in the list of the dead. "In Yuriko's heart, the person who was cut off has already been judged to die, after all, for those who are afraid, death is 100%.
"Although we didn't fill all the vehicles this time, we still brought back enough food, and for the time being, our base won't have to worry about food for half a year. As for the number of casualties, seventeen people died in the first wave of the Dreadful sneak attack. ”
"What about the broken ones?" Yuriko looked at Maruyama Takashi strangely, after the break, it was a certain death, why didn't she report the number.
"Nine people were left behind." Maruyama Takashi said with a little difficulty, and his tone changed.
"Nine? Coupled with the previous seventeen people, it is twenty-six, which is indeed a big loss for the base. Yuriko thought that Maruyama Takashi was like this because he died so much, although it was a little strange and didn't dig deeper. Then he nodded and said he understood.
"Madame......"
"What? Is there anything else you need to report? Yuriko looked at Takashi Maruyama, who was hesitating there, and wondered.
"Yes."
"Then let's talk about it, after that, go and call Komuro Takashi, I still have some things to ask him." Yuriko smiled, straightened her posture, and prepared to listen, although there were casualties when she went out this time, but the most important food was still pulled back, and all the mood was not very good, but it was not bad.
"What I'm going to say is about Master Komuro."
"Oh? About filial piety? What's going on? Could it be that he was injured when he went out this time? Didn't I go out of my way to protect him!!! Yuriko said and thought that this time Li Ye also went out hunting together, and ran into a monster like the Fearful Again, was it injured?
"It's not! No! ”
"What's that?" Yuriko suddenly discovered that Maruyama Takashi turned out to be such an inkblot person, why didn't he find it before.
"I don't know if the young master Komuro is injured or not, but didn't my wife and I just say that there were nine people left behind to cut off?" Maruyama Takashi was really embarrassed to die at this time, he knew that the following words would definitely be a big impact on his wife, but he couldn't do it if he didn't say it.
"yes, what does this have to do with filial piety?" Yuriko replied subconsciously, but her face suddenly changed in the next second.
Takashi Maruyama saw Yuriko Takashiro, whose face had changed drastically, and knew that Madame had realized something.
"Don't tell me......" Yuriko realized something, but looked at Maruyama Takashi with a fluke mentality.
"The young master of Komuro is one of the nine people who left behind, and the other one left behind is the daughter of the Poison Island family." After Maruyama Takashi finished speaking, his entire back was soaked with sweat, and it was conceivable that he would say such a thing under the eyes of Yuriko like a cannibal.
"What do you say? You repeat! An angry roar from the room startled the two soldiers standing guard outside the door, and it was the first time they had heard the man in the room speak in such a loud voice!
"Madam......" Maruyama Takashi looked at the angry woman in front of him and subconsciously shrunk his neck.
"Say!" Yuriko Takashiro struggles to calm herself down.
"Madam......" Maruyama Takashi wanted to persuade him, but when he saw the other party's eyes that seemed to be about to eat people, he gave up his original plan.
"Say! Who gave the order for the two of them to stay!!!! Yuriko's eyes were full of anger, and when she said that, the whole person seemed to be eating people. Can she not be excited! Forget about Poison Island, although she is a classmate and friend of her daughter Saya, she is still the daughter of the Poison Island family, and her status is prominent. But God knows what happened to the Poison Island family now, and it was also for the sake of her daughter's face to take her in.
But Li Ye is different! Although the same Li Ye's parents, the small room and his wife, are now missing, and their lives and deaths are unknown. But firstly, the Komuro couple have been her best friends for many years, and secondly, Li Ye is still the person her daughter likes, and her husband personally determines the future daughter husband. Of course, the weight of this in Yuriko's heart is different!
Now when you hear that Li Ye was actually left to do that nine-death post-mortem mission, can you not be excited!
"Yes...... It was the young master of Komuro who volunteered to stay, and Miss Poison Island also volunteered to stay with the young master of Komuro. Although Maruyama Takashi had doubts about the statement of the Eguchi report, he still reported it truthfully to Yuriko Takashiro.
"What do you say? Filial piety voluntarily stayed? At first, Yuriko thought that Eguchi had given an order and Li Ye and the others would stay, but she was stunned when she heard Maruyama Takashi's words.
"Yes."
"Didn't he know such a dangerous surname? He actually offered to stay? Yuriko felt so incredible, as for Poison Island Tsuneko's actions, Yuriko probably guessed the reason in a blink of an eye.
As early as when she was in the Takashiro family, Yuriko saw that it was not only her daughter and the girl of the Miyamoto family who liked Li Ye, but also the daughter of the Poison Island family who had a good impression of Li Ye to a greater or lesser extent, although it was not necessarily as deep as her daughter and Miyamoto Li, but it was very possible that something would happen after so many days.
So Yuriko thinks that the biggest reason why Poison Island Tsuneko is willing to stay together is that she loves Li Ye. Coupled with its own combat effectiveness, it also makes sense.
"What about the Miyamoto girl and the little fat man?" Yuriko suddenly thought of the other two who went out together, "Could it be that they also stayed together?" ”
