Chapter 88: Recovery
Bypassing the main road clogged with bones and vehicles, we found a small road into the city.
The trail has been abandoned for a long time, overgrown with weeds and gravel, and even off-road vehicles should be driven with caution to avoid scratching tires.
At the end of the path was locked by a rusty iron door. At the other end of the iron gate is the main road of the city.
We got out of the car and looked at the rusty gate.
"I have a way to open it. Saya Takashiro said, rummaging through her bag.
I stood in front of the iron door, and a feeling came over me, and a voice shouted in my heart, "You can kick it away, kick it hard, you can kick it away!" Before I could come to my senses, I had twisted my legs and kicked the iron door.
"Boom!!"
With a loud bang, the entire iron gate fell in the direction I kicked it, and the four bolts at the four corners of the gate were blown out by a huge force.
Behind him, the crowd who were about to say something was silent for a while.
Kurazaki Kana, who has always been expressionless and never shows a trace of emotion, has a touch of excitement in his eyes, and the girl's small palm clenches violently in the cuffs.
The iron gate was kicked down, revealing the blocked landscape.
The wide streets are lined with cherry blossom trees, but it's not the season to bloom.
Beneath the green canopy, one or two clothed bones could occasionally be seen.
"You...... Are your legs okay!" Sanhua Xingna asked hesitantly.
Poison Island walked over quickly with a worried face, pinched my thigh twice, and looked up at me half relieved and half surprised: "You didn't strain yourself with such a big force?"
"Ahh "There was a storm in my heart, and this strength ...... Is it really my power?
Saya Takajo made a special trip to the iron gate that fell to the ground and squatted down to take a look, and then raised his head in disbelief, "The bolt position is not rusty! When did you have so much strength?"
Without bothering to answer, I looked left and right, and walked quickly to a small tree the size of a bowl.
Take a deep breath and twist your waist sideways and step on the trunk.
"Bang!" The body of the tree shook, and nothing seemed to have changed.
The few people who were close except for Saya Takashiro all changed their faces.
Poison Island Tsunza and Sanhua Xingna themselves practice swordsmanship, and their six senses must be sharper, and the muffled sound just now is clearly mixed with a trace of extremely subtle cracking sound.
The small tree with the size of a bowl looked fine, but cracks had already formed inside. Maybe the next kick will break.
"It's ......" I could feel something waking up. This sudden surge of power is proof of this. I could clearly feel every muscle in my body cheering.
They are cheering their resurgence.
It's like the pleasure of being freed from some kind of shackles.
"It's a magical feeling...... "A thousand experiences turned into such a sentence without a beginning or an end."
"This kind of power is beyond the range of normal people...... "Sanhua Xingna muttered.
"It's incredible. Tsukashiko lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes blocking the change in her eyes.
"What's wrong with you?" Saya Takashiro didn't realize that the tree had actually been partially destroyed.
"It's nothing, I feel like I'm getting a lot more strength than before!" I said, "I think I can lift several of myself!"
"Bragging!" Saya Takajo didn't believe it, "I believe you when you get stronger, but it's not that exaggerated!"
Sanhua Xingna wanted to speak and stopped.
"Either way, it's a good thing for us. Poison Island said.
"That's right, all the physical work will be done by you in the future!" Saya Takashiro said to me with a raised face.
“...... I've never seen you help me with the physical work before. I muttered quietly.
"What did you say?"
"No, nothing. Let's go!"
After a short pause, everyone moved on.
The wide streets are even more empty than expected, perhaps ninety percent of the cars are crowded on the main road outside the city, or many people have lost the ability to drive, so they can only stumble out of the city, and finally die outside the city, or near the outside of the city.
I glanced around.
The wrecked vehicle on the side of the road has been covered in a thick layer of dust, and it is impossible to see what's inside the car.
There were clothes, shoes, and bits and pieces that could be vaguely seen as cell phones scattered on the ground.
Except for the weeds growing here and there and the big trees that are strong and alive, there is nothing that represents life.
At my feet was a small white skeleton, and two long canine teeth told me it was the remains of a domestic cat.
"Really clean ......"
"Because the people are all dead outside. Saya Takashiro walked past me, his ponytails twitched, and the girl turned her head to me with a serious face and said, "And we haven't walked closer to the area of the leak." I'm afraid it won't be so 'clean' there. ”
Bonnie drove past me, the wheels crushing the cat's bones.
Sanhua Xingna opened his mouth and asked, "You say, will there be survivors in such a situation?"
Poison Island Tsuneko comforted: "There will definitely be." In such a big city, there must have been people who happened to be in a sealed environment when it happened, and they didn't go out until the poison gas reacted and lost its toxicity. ”
"When you say that, why do I feel that there are so few people who qualify? Xingna couldn't help but smile bitterly,
"To survive such an accident, only those who are aware of the accident at the first time and go to a safe place to take effective measures. If you are lucky, you will survive the initial stage at most. "Saya Takajo's usual pouring cold water.
"Survivors or not," I said, "before we come into contact with the survivors who might emerge, we're going to have to find a place to resupply." Bonnie, how much gas is left in the tank?"
Bonnie glanced at the dashboard: "And 80 percent." There is also 20L of spare oil on board. That's enough for us to run a few hundred kilometers. ”
"There's a lot more...... "I rubbed my nose, "I'm not in a hurry to refill the gas." Then look for a supermarket first. Eat too little. ”
Agent Daniel cat behind a low wall, watchful all around.
"The wound is finished. Chris the doctor's assistant came over and said.
"Grab the food, let's retreat. Agent Daniel said, stooping over a large backpack and cautiously stepping out of the low wall.
Chris was also carrying a large backpack and following Dr. Orris, who had suffered a leg injury.
Brown Toth walked at the back of the line with a rifle. His right shoulder was wrapped in gauze and had been wounded in battle.
If you don't take into account the fact that everyone is injured and can be infected with the zombie virus, this is the perfect battle with zero deaths. The mutant zombie, whose body is unimaginably harder, stronger, and faster, is blasted into a sieve by the rifle, and then shot in the head by Agent Daniel.
From the zombie's sudden proximity to being blasted away in time, to Agent Daniel's headshot, the battle took only a few seconds. However, within a second of the zombie's blast from the rifle, it tore through the muscles of Dr. Orris's outer thigh, leaving several deep holes in Brown's right shoulder, which had been cut out raw.
"Hopefully, these zombie viruses that have received huge doses of radiation will no longer be so infectious. Dr. Orris gasped lowly, "Otherwise, Brown and I will be finished." ”
"It's going to be fine, Doctor. Assistant Chris comforted dryly.
Behind him, Brown shook his head and remained silent.
"The sliced specimens of all kinds of tissues on that mutant zombie must be preserved!" Dr. Orris grabbed Chris's arm and clenched his left hand violently, "Even if I die, you must keep those specimens!"
“...... Good. However, it is better to keep it yourself. Assistant Chris said in silence for a moment.
These few words seemed to consume a lot of Dr. Orris's physical strength, his gasp thickened, and he smiled bitterly when he heard the words: "Who would want to die if they can live...... But I really don't want to be like that. ”
"Mr. Daniel. He shouted.
"I'm listening, Doctor. Daniel didn't look back.
"If I show signs of turning into something like that, kill me immediately. ”
"Of course, that's what I do. Doctor. ”
"There's someone inside!" the agent team suddenly became vigilant, pointing their guns at the door of the small supermarket.
Yevgeny winked at Team Member C, who spoke in thick Kansai Japanese: "Hello?"
The somewhat timid voice rang out through the door again: "Who are you?"
Team member C looked back inquiringly.
"Tell him who we are. Evgeny said.
"We are agents from Russia. ”
"Russia, Russia?agent?" the voice was surprised.
"Please let us go in first, we can go in and talk slowly. Team Member C said, "Trust us with no ill will, this door can't stop us." ”
"That'...... Oh well, please come in. The voice said.
Then there was a sound of sojoking, and the door opened a crack, revealing the face of a frightened and haggard young man. The young man was startled by the heavily armed agents and almost closed the door again.
Yevgeny rushed in with his squad of agents. The last member of the team, D, briskly locked the door.
The agents quickly grasped the situation of the supermarket as soon as they entered the small supermarket.
The freezers were empty, and the rows of shelves and the contents on them were surprisingly neatly arranged. The floors are also very tidy. Several agents almost had the illusion that there was no catastrophe.
The young man noticed the questions of several agents and quickly explained: "I usually have nothing to do, so I will clean up." ”
The scouting team member at the top of the building walks down the stairs and makes a gesture of safety. Only then did the members of the team relax.
"The old rule, take turns to go to the roof to sentry. Yevgeny said, pointing to the young man with his chin, "Ask more questions, get as much information as you can." ”
"Leave it to me!" Team member C is full of confidence, he has not been on a mission in Japan since he learned Japanese, and he can finally communicate with the local Japanese natives, "Hello, I'm an agent from Russia!"
"Y-Hello. The young man was a little nervous, and not far away, several agents took down a few packets of snacks from the shelves. The corner of the young man's eyes twitched, and his left hand subconsciously bent his fingers.
Yevgeny's eyes froze slightly.
Team member C was still asking with interest, "What's your name?"
"My name is Makoto Ito. ”
