Chapter 13: Unusually Rare Rewards
As soon as Ma Le drove out of the business district, he saw several streets of vehicles lined up on the road, so under the guidance of Komuro Takashi, he detoured from the path to the river and drove upstream along the river. By the time they found the ghost deer group, it was already afternoon.
Ma Le deliberately chose a business car with enough space, but there were a total of seven adventurers, eight plot characters, and fifteen people sitting in one car, which was still too crowded. Fortunately, the ghost deer found a motorcycle on the side of the road, and the driver's body was nearby, with the key in his pocket. The motorcycle carried three people and twelve people on board, and they all drove towards Minami Rika's residence.
In the evening, the group finally arrived at their destination. Just like in the original book, Shizuka Jukawa's friend is really a local tyrant Bai Fumei, as an elite national civil servant in the police circle, he actually dares to rent a single-family villa by the river all year round, and he has to climb for a long time to go upstairs, which is really envious of a group of hard-pressed young people who have no money to buy a house in the Celestial Empire.
With adventurers joining, the zombies around the house are not a problem at all, Ma Le even swept the nearby convenience store by the way, and took Xu Liang and Xiao Shuan, two rookies, to collect the daily necessities inside. If you're not in a hurry about the next task, it's not bad to settle down here for the time being.
"Great, finally able to sleep soundly!" Shizuka Jukawa cheered and rushed into the house, while Saya Takashiro fanned his clothes and said, "I just want to take a shower now...... With such a comfortable residence, everyone was very happy, and no one noticed that at the end of the crowd, there was a faltering figure.
"Yong, what's wrong with you, your face doesn't seem to be very good......" Miyamoto Rei hugged Jing Haoyong and said with concern. Where is the current Jing Haoyong still like the previous sunny boy, his face is pale, his eye circles are black, and his physical condition is very bad when he looks at it. "I'm fine, Li, it's just a little dizzy, maybe the wound is infected and I have a fever......" As soon as the words fell, Jing Haoyong bent down and vomited out a mouthful of blood.
"Yikes!! Yong, what's wrong with you?! Shizuka-sensei, come and see, Nagata vomited blood! Miyamoto's shout alarmed everyone, and people immediately gathered around. Shizuka Jukawa lined up the crowd and came over to look at Yong's face, wondering, "Is he infected by those things?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room subconsciously took a step back, and Miyamoto Rei was also startled, and hurriedly defended: "Don't be kidding, teacher, Yong has always been with us, and he has never been attacked, how can he be infected!" ”
The glasses man Ishii said: "Then what's the matter with the injury on his shoulder, the blood is black!" Miyamoto Li glared at him fiercely: "Don't talk nonsense, this is a gunshot wound, a bullet I picked out with my own hands!" As she spoke, she turned to Shizuka's school doctor: "Is the wound infected or something......"
Shizuka Jukawa shook her head and said, "It's not like a symptom of a wound infection......"
The ghost deer walked over, glanced at Jing Haoyong's appearance, and immediately turned grim: "He has indeed been infected with the zombie virus!" "He doesn't have the sensitive nose of Ma Le, but the Miracle Badge is not a vegetarian. Now, under the scanning of the miracle badge, Jing Haoyong's name has changed to "infected human", which shows that the virus has caused quite severe damage to his body, and most of them are hopeless......
"No, Yong didn't come into contact with those things, how could he be infected! You must be mistaken, no, no......" Miyamoto Li threw herself on Jing Haoyong's body and cried, while Jing Haoyong looked at the ground in a daze, his eyes blank, as if he couldn't accept this fact for a while.
At this time, Ma Le came back with two rookie bags and small bags, and saw a group of people surrounding the door, all of them were very strange, and came up to see the excitement. The ghost deer saw Ma Le and asked, "What's going on, foodie brother, how could Jing Haoyong be infected by zombies?" Ma Le frowned when he heard this, put down his things and walked to Jing Haoyong's side, and reached out and ripped off the gauze wrapped around his shoulder. The wound had festered and bruised, and the blood that had come out had turned black and had an unpleasant stench, apparently because the wound was infected.
"Sure enough......" Ma Le put down Jing Haoyong's arm, "young man, you...... It's hopeless, do you break it yourself, or will we help you? ”
Hearing Ma Le's ultimatum, Jing Haoyong and Miyamoto Rito widened their eyes in surprise, and Komuro Takaya rushed over, grabbed Ma Le's shoulders and shook them desperately: "Teacher Tanaka, you're kidding, there must be a way, right, right!" ”
Ma Le shook his head a little helplessly, Komuro let go of him tremblingly, and looked back at Miyamoto Rei who was crying, a little overwhelmed. Tsumiko Poison Island came over and asked, "Then when did he get infected?" ”
"That stray bullet!" Ma Le replied: "When I went to look for you, I happened to see that gangster spraying zombies with a shotgun, so when I learned that Jing Haoyong was injured, I immediately thought that if this stray bullet penetrated the body of the zombie and then shot into Jing Hao's arm, wouldn't it carry the virus?" Now it seems that my fears were correct......"
"Then why didn't you say it earlier! Why! Miyamoto Li cried and scolded Ma Le, who shrugged his shoulders and said, "What can I do?" There is no cure for this virus, and I gave you iodine in the hope of disinfecting it, but now it seems that it is in vain. ”
"Cough cough cough cough ......" Jing Haoyong coughed up another mouthful of dirty blood, it seems that the infection is getting worse and worse, and he may become a zombie at any time. Ma Le stretched out his palm to him, "I will try to minimize your pain......"
"Don't!" Miyamoto Li stood in front of Jing Haoyong and shouted hysterically: "Don't be like this, Yong will be fine, he is special, he will be fine, he must be fine......"
"Don't be like this, ...... Li" The weak Jing Haoyong stretched out his hand to support Miyamoto Rei's shoulder, and said weakly: "You also saw Mr. Aoyama's appearance, I am destined to accompany you here, thank you for liking me, but in the end, please allow me to leave this world as a human being...... Mr. Tanaka, please do it! ”
After Jing Haoyong said this, Ma Le immediately received a reminder from the miracle badge: "Side quest, Jing Haoyong's last dignity, kill Jing Haoyong before his corpse changes, reward 200 credits!" ”
It's a side quest again, and it's only rewarding 200 credits! This made Ma Le very surprised, Jing Haoyong should be an important plot figure, the same task fell on his head, no matter what, it was impossible to reward him with the same reward as a dragon like Aoyama......
Ma Le looked at Jing Haoyong suspiciously, and peeked at the other adventurers by the way, the others looked as usual, only the ghost deer looked at Jing Haoyong's eyes a little strangely, but it was not the excitement of receiving the branch, but more like regret and reluctance, or rather, a sense of loss that disappointed hope...... This strange watch Xiàn was noticed by Ma Le, but he couldn't figure out why.
Miyamoto Li is still protecting Jing Haoyong like crazy, no one is allowed to approach, the system stipulates that the protagonist cannot be forced, and Ma Le is not easy to be rude, so he can only persuade with good words, but this girl can't listen to it at all. Just when everyone was at a loss, Poison Island Tsumiko walked over, put his hand on Miyamoto Rei's shoulder, and persuaded softly, "Do you want to see him turn into the walking dead?" ”
Miyamoto Rei shook her head with tears: "No, it will never change......"
"Stop lying to yourself!" Poison Island Tsuneko's voice became slightly stern: "After going through so many things, you know it's futile, why insist on it." Your boyfriend is a man who stands up to the sky, and if you do this, he will only end up with hatred! With that, Tsukiko Poison Island stood up and looked down at Miyamoto Rei and Hiroshi I, "Protecting the dignity of men is the reserved that women should have!" ”
After listening to Poison Island's words, Miyamoto Rei finally compromised, and like Aoyama at that time, Ma Le killed Jing Haoyong with his palm, and then buried him in the courtyard and gave him a simple tombstone. This is the most important trick in the original book, and after all, it still can't escape the fate of death......
Among the group, only Miyamoto Rei and Komuro Takashi and Jing Haoyong are more acquainted, and we will not mention how these two rekindle the spark of love in sentimentality, and the others soon began to be busy with their own work. In addition, after settling here, the second step of the main quest was officially completed, but the system did not release the task of the third step, nor did it give a notice of the end of the task.
The girls went to take a bath in groups, the old dog rummaged through the cabinets to find wine to drink, Mr. Ghost Deer was trying to see if there was any Internet, and Xu Liang and Xiao Shu, two rookies, inherited the shotguns of Jing Haoyong and Poison Island Tsuneko, and were excitedly fiddling. Senior Sister Poison Island said that shotguns are really not as good as long knives...... By the way, among the adventurers, only Ma Le, Ghost Deer, Night Cat and Shangguan Yunhong know Japanese, and everyone else tries to avoid communicating with the plot characters, and the information they need is all translated by these people. After all, everyone is still at the entry level, and there are no extra credits to learn non-combat skills. Most adventurers only learn one English, and it is enough to be able to cope with ordinary communication, while teams like the Green Corps, most of them will divide the work, one person learns a language, and once he enters the relevant world, this person acts as a translator, and Comrade Lao Dog learns Russian, so there is no place for it in this world.
Ma Le and the old dog have similar interests, they turn out a bottle of vodka in the kitchen together, and the old and the young sit on the tile floor and push the cup to change it, and talk about life, ideals, and future planning by the way......
At this time, Shangguan Yunhong and Pingye Gengtai came to the kitchen and also rummaged through the cabinets. Ma Le also said that they also wanted to steal wine to drink, so he shook the bottle at them and said, "Don't look for it, here it is, good vodka!" The old dog next to him also burped: "I still prefer Erguotou, but this wine is also good, strong enough!" ”
Shangguan Yunhong glanced at the two drunkards, and said coldly: "Don't do your job, we're in danger now, let's not find a way to get some weapons first, but drink first!" ”
Ma Le laughed and said, "You just went to the kitchen to find weapons?" I'm going to use a kitchen knife to cut zombies! He smiled and suddenly reacted: "No, you said that the owner of this house is a special policeman, so he should have weapons in his house...... Kid, you know where it's there, right? ”
Shangguan Yunhong sneered and said proudly: "Then you don't need to say?" ”
