Chapter Fifty-Six: You Are My Daughter
"Boom Rumble......
The thunder broke through the darkness of the night after the lightning, belatedly late.
I was standing on the balcony on the second floor, and some raindrops were blown to my face by the wind, with a slight coolness, which made me more and more sober.
"Ya. Hoshina walked up to me, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" ”
"Yes. I gave the compressed biscuits to the old man. I put down my binoculars and smiled at her, "What about you?"
"I've eaten it. She smiled and held out her hand to me, "Here." ”
"What?"
"Don't worry so much, reach out!"
I stretched out my right hand.
She placed a piece of chocolate in my palm.
"The ......," I asked, surprised.
Hoshina stuck out her tongue at me mischievously: "I just found out, I put it in my pocket, and I never remembered it." ”
"Xingnai, you ......" I held the chocolate that had melted a little by her body temperature, and my heart was warm.
"Well, don't be too impressed, I'm here for you because you're keeping vigil!" she smiled at me with her hands behind her back, and then spun around and walked into the room.
I picked up the binoculars again, and the corners of my mouth couldn't stop rising.
I didn't eat that piece of chocolate, I put it in my jacket pocket.
It was pitch black everywhere the telescope saw it, and there was no sound in my ears except the sound of rain, and the town was dead.
The zombies on the streets, illuminated by lightning from time to time, staggered in the rain, and the shadowy figures moved silently, exuding a faint atmosphere of terror.
Although I knew that they couldn't spot me, I still unconsciously leaned down, because I was not very far from the nearest zombie on the street, after all, this yard was not that big, at most fifteen meters.
Suddenly, there was a strong light in front of him, and a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, slashing at the body of a zombie, only a few tenths of a second later, as if it was detonated in the ear, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded.
I couldn't hear anything in my ears for a while, and there were still traces of blazing white light in front of my eyes, and it took me a long time to regain my sight and hearing.
The zombie that had been struck by the lightning began to burn, and although it was quickly extinguished by the rain, I could smell the pungent breath.
"Huh?" I gripped my binoculars.
Suddenly, a zombie pounced on another zombie, and then bit hard, and the bitten zombie was completely unaware and stood in place.
It was as if the curtain had been drawn on a cannibalistic battle, with zombies constantly knocking down their companions and then dismembering them, while those who were knocked down had no resistance at all.
"It's ...... What's going on?" I didn't even dare to blink, looking closely at the zombies who were behaving abnormally. I found that the bitten zombies were very close to the lightning struck zombie.
Is it because you have electricity on your body?
Not as knowledgeable as Saya, I can only guess.
"Smack!" Saya Takashiro slammed open the door and saw Shizuka Jukawa and Quiriko sitting in front of Tsumiko Poison Island's bed.
"I heard that Doctor Juchuan said that you put the son down?" said Saya in disbelief.
Shizuka Jukawa raised her eyebrows: "Saya, where did you go just now?"
"Uh...... I've just said," Saya Takajo said. She wouldn't tell Shizuka Jukawa that she had just dragged the fat man to inspect the Honda SUV, and she was going to quietly drag Poison Island and Rei to the town......
"You're not honest. Shizuka Jukawa said helplessly, "Okay, don't think so much, go back and rest." We'll go to the city early tomorrow morning to meet them. Do you understand, don't act alone!" As she said that, her eyes suddenly sharpened.
Saya was stunned. I've never seen Shizuka Jukawa show such a temperament, and I feel like a real teacher.
“...... Be. ”
Guiriko is used to it, and when she saw Shizuka Jukawa pour the poison island Tsuneko medicine before, she was no less surprised than anyone else.
Shizuka Jukawa turned her head and looked at the pale face of Poison Island Tsuneko who was stunned by **, her low eyelashes trembled slightly.
Now that there are only two adults, me and Kiriko, I have to take on the responsibility of taking care of everyone like a real teacher!
At least...... Wait until he returns.
Shizuka Jukawa's eyes showed a hint of determination.
"Whew......" I walked in from the balcony, moved my stiff limbs a few times, and let out a long breath.
It's Bonnie's next.
I cautiously walked downstairs and lit the candle in the dark, and Bonnie lay on the couch, biting her index finger.
"It can't be a dream about eating chicken feet...... I jokingly pushed her shoulder, "wake up!"
"......Uh-huh," Bonnie let out a dreamy cry, reached out and grabbed my arm, then rolled over, and took my arm around me and turned into my arms.
"Hey......" My face was red, my arm was clearly touched, and the faint smell of shower gel on her body made people unable to calm down.
"What's the matter......" she slowly opened her eyes.
Bonnie's eyes gradually widened, and then quickly popped away, her face flushed, and she looked around, as if she was afraid of waking everyone up, and scolded in a of shame and indignation: "**!!"
I'm at a loss for words.
She turned her back to me, and if it weren't for the bad light, I could clearly see a pair of red ears.
"You...... What do you want me to do?"
She asked.
"That...... It's your turn for a vigil. I said.
“...... Kindness. She got up and walked upstairs.
I sat down where she had been sleeping, hesitated, and lay down.
It smells so good......
I thought. Fan out the candle casually.
..................
A white world
I stand in the middle of the world.
"Where are you?"
A soft female voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
I...... I'm here......
"Do you remember me?"
I turned around slowly, and behind me the girl in the white dress was wearing a white hat with the brim covering most of her face, and her long hair hanging down from the girl's shoulders.
You are......
"Finally found you......"
The girl looked up.
"Europe, Ni, Sauce ......"
"Ya!Ya!!Wake up!!!" Sanhua Xingna pushed me awake.
I got up from the couch in a daze, and saw everyone as if they were facing the enemy, and the sky was just getting dark.
"The zombies are coming!!"
A sentence made me wake up instantly, and looking through the window, my heart suddenly cooled.
The door to the courtyard was creaking, only to be slammed open with a loud bang a moment later.
"Hurry upstairs!" called Minami Rika.
Takashi Komuro, who was about to rush out against the door, ran back faster than when he went.
"Let's go!!" I couldn't help but scream, the speed of the zombie was very fast, and it took a few seconds to reach the door, but fortunately, Komuro Takashi locked the door, and we got a short time to adjust.
"Hurry upstairs! The stairs are narrow, let's stop them on the stairs!" Minami Sayaka beckoned from the second floor.
Everyone ran up the stairs.
"Why did those zombies come here all of a sudden? I remember I was normal when I was keeping vigil!" I asked Hoshina.
Xingna shook her head: "Who knows, Miss Nanzato found a large number of zombies approaching here, so she woke everyone up!" She suddenly shouted, "Komuro, what are you doing?"
I looked back and saw Komuro struggling to move the gas canister towards the door.
"Komuro! Come here!!"
Komuro didn't bother to turn back to speak, he desperately moved the heavy gas canister while the door shook violently.
"Smack!" Komuro breathed a sigh of relief at the sound of the gas canister hitting the door, and when he saw that the door was shaking less, he smiled with relief and walked over.
But he seems to have underestimated the power of this new type of zombie.
Just as he walked up the stairs, the door and gas canisters flew up, and countless zombies poured in like a tide.
"Komuro!!!" shouted all of us almost at the same time.
Komuro didn't dare to reply, just listening to the sound scared him enough, and he ran over quickly, the person was still on the stairs, and a zombie had already pounced on him.
"Komuro!" I was stunned.
"Bang!"
A deafening gunshot rang out in my ears.
The zombie that pounced on Takashi Komuro had already been shot in the head.
Beside him, Minami Rika blew on the muzzle of the gun.
Seeing the eyes I looked at: "Look at what, it's already surrounded anyway, and I'm not afraid that the gunshots will attract zombies!"
Also......
I turned around and took a pistol out of my hand.
"You're right, it's time to come to your senses. ”
"Bang!
Two zombies fell to the ground. But there are many more zombies pouring in.
"Bang bang......" Everyone took out the guns in their hands one after another, and at such a close distance, they could hit the zombie's head with just a slight aim. Everyone picks guns with very little recoil, so the accuracy can be guaranteed.
In the midst of the dense gunfire, the zombies kept falling and rolling down the stairs, and then more zombies crawled over with their hands and feet on the bodies of their companions, and fell into a stalemate for a while.
Looking at this scene, I couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope in my heart, maybe there are not many zombies in the vicinity, and with this cleaning speed, maybe the zombies can be cleaned up quickly......
Suddenly, my nose smelled something strange.
What does it taste like?
I didn't have time to think about it, but after only a few seconds, I bounced off the ground and exclaimed, "Gas!
The gas itself is colorless and odorless, but for safety, odorants are generally added, and the smell I asked about is the smell of odorants.
"Gas leaks??"
Everyone's faces changed.
The windows in the room are closed, and the specific gravity of the gas is lighter than that of the air, so it is quite easy to reach a certain concentration and explode.
"Don't shoot at all!" Nan Lixiang shouted helplessly, "Let's go back to the bedroom!"
Everyone was decisive, stopped firing, and then stepped back.
But zombies can't be ignored at any time, and as soon as the gunfire stopped, zombies immediately swarmed up.
"Yuko!" Inaba exclaimed, pulling Sakai Yuko away, and the next moment, a zombie bit Inaba's shoulder fiercely.
"Ahh
"Bang!" I jerked over a zombie, and the zombie rolled backwards, knocking over quite a few zombies on the stairs.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone hurriedly rushed into the bedroom and closed the door with their backhands.
I didn't have time to rest, so I looked at Inaba for the first time.
The blood hole in Sakai Inaba's shoulder silenced everyone.
"Mom...... Mom!" Shizuko cried bitterly, "No! I don't want this!"
Yuko's eyes were distracted, and her whole body trembled: "You...... Why are you saving me?"
"Yuko...... She's your mother, that's normal!" said Seina.
"Boom!" there was a muffled sound at the door behind him. I hurriedly blocked the door with my body.
Inaba sat on the ground against the wall, the blood hole in her shoulder bleeding constantly, but no one tried to stop her, because everyone knew that in a few minutes at most, she would no longer exist as Sakai Inaba.
"It won't be like that. Yuko's voice trembled, "It's that promise again...... Right. ”
A smile appeared on Sakai Inaba's pale face.
"You're a woman who loves my dad more than she loves us......" Yuko said, the corners of her mouth twitching, "You can kick me out of the house for a ridiculous agreement, you would let Shizuko live in a room with a zombie for a whole week because of a ridiculous agreement, how could you be ......"
"Of course not......"
Yuko paused and looked at her.
"This doesn't need to be agreed. The smile on Sakai Inaba's face grew, "You're my daughter." I don't need a reason to save my daughter, and I don't need an agreement. ”
"What......" Yuko said in a hoarse voice, "What did you say? I'm your daughter?"
Sakai Inaba looked at her with a smile: "Yes." Including Shizuko, you are my proudest daughter......"
Yuko sat down on the ground all of a sudden, tears pouring out of her eyes.
"What...... Ahh......h Only then did she admit that "she wiped her tears with her hands, but more tears flowed down her arms," why didn't she say it earlier...... Why...... Why didn't you say it when you objected to my college application, why didn't you say it when you kicked me out of the house, why did you ......?"
"No matter what you do, no matter what I do to you, as long as you can live a healthy life, what can you do even if you hate me?" Inaba also shed two lines of tears, "You are my daughter, my proudest daughter!"
"Hate ......" Yuko's eyes widened suddenly, and she seemed to understand something instantly.
"Vomit ......" Inaba suddenly spit out a mouthful of black blood.
"Mom!" Shizuko Yuko was shocked. I close my eyes, and I've seen the same thing.
Sakai Inaba, the existence of this woman in this world.
It's almost over.
"It seems...... It's going to be gone. Inaba smiled bitterly, black blood flowing from the corners of her mouth.
"Mom!" Shizuko cried bitterly.
Inaba lovingly touched Shizuko's head, then looked at Yuko.
"Yuko, you are your mother's proudest child, you should understand what your mother means. ”
Yuko struggled to hold back her tears.
"I ...... Got it. ”
"Give mom a ride. Mom...... I don't want to be like your father......" As she said that, Inaba burst into tears and spat out a mouthful of blood in pain.
Komuro's pupils contracted, this scene is familiar.
...... Forever......
Yuko, stumbling to her feet, raised the pistol in her hand, and pointed it at Inaba, trembling for a long time.
"Sister......" Shizuko looked at Yuko with teary eyes, and after a while, she made a move that surprised everyone.
She stood up and walked over to Yuko, holding the pistol with her. The pistol, which had been trembling, suddenly stabilized.
"Shizuko ......"
"If I want to give my mother a ride, I ...... I'm going to be with you too!"
Sakai Inaba looked at Shizuko in surprise, and then showed a relieved look: "Shizuko...... You've grown up. ”
"Bang!!"
A bullet shell flew high, its shiny shell spinning and dancing in the air......
