Chapter 971: The Seventh Day
"Hoo ..............."
Walking out of the carriage, Saya Takashiro was a little nervous. She reached out and put her hand on her chest and took a deep breath. Surviving in this world until now, Saya Takashiro is no longer just students. They knew that this world was completely different from before, and how they themselves would survive in such a world, Saya Takashiro himself couldn't say.
But in any case, for now, this train is indeed an ideal refuge for them. Provided, of course, that they can survive the night of the Blood Moon.........
Will they really survive the Blood Moon?
To be honest, Saya Takashiro is not confident in this.
But in any case, what should be talked about is still to be discussed.
Thinking of this, Saya Takajo puffed up his chest, then walked to the dining car again, stretched out his hand and opened the door.
"Whoa."
The doors opened, and the whole dining car was silent, except for the melodious sound of music. For a moment, Saya Takashiro only felt as if she had traveled back in time, back to before the catastrophe broke out, as if those terrible disasters and zombies had never existed, and that she was just on a train for a journey.........
If only that were the case.
Saya Takashiro smiled bitterly, walked into the dining car, looked around, and saw that everything on the tables around him had been cleaned upβββ who did this?
"Ah, good evening."
At this moment, suddenly a voice came, hearing this voice, Saya Takashiro turned his head to look, only to see that on the other side of the end of the dining car, a blonde girl was sitting at the dining table and said hello to herself.
"Ah, good evening......... Miss Mary. β
Looking at the other party's golden right eye, Saya Takashiro quickly remembered her name. After all, the characteristics of these people in the court were obvious, and of course, for Saya Takashiro, she was somewhat relieved when she saw Mary. For the rest of the court, such as Rumiel and Eckel, she was a little unsure of how to greet each other. Ogis and Rose didn't pay much attention to the survivors at all, but Mary looked elegant and cultured in her gestures, like a big lady.........
Well, it makes Saya Takashiro feel a little close.
"Can't sleep? Miss Takashiro? β
"No, I just have something......... Miss Mary, what are you doing? β
As he spoke, Saya Takashiro walked towards Mary, only to see a notebook spread out in front of the other party's desk, Mary was still holding a fountain pen in her hand, and a cup of steaming coffee was placed next to her, as if she was recording something.
"Ah......... I'm just collecting footage. β
Sensing Saya Takashihiro's gaze, Mary smiled embarrassedly and put away her notebook.
"Material?"
"That's right, a world on the verge of the end of the world, a horde of brutal and terrible zombies, and the people struggling to survive in it......... To be honest, this is the first time I've experienced something like this, and although it's not uncommon for me to do something like this, it's ........."
As she spoke, Mary looked at her notebook.
"This kind of tragic situation of the complete destruction of the world, whether human civilization can continue to exist, is really thoughtful.........
"Uh.................."
Hearing Mary's emotion, Saya Takashiro didn't know what to say for a while, but she also coughed lightly and then changed the topic.
"Actually, Miss Mary, there are some things I want to discuss with you."
"Huh? What's up? β
"That's ..............."
After all, it's a matter of begging for someone, and when it comes to this, Saya Takashiro is a little lacking in confidence, but which is more important than face or life is not a problem for her.
"We ...... There's nowhere else to go, so can you keep us on the train? Of course, we don't do day work, no matter how dangerous it is, we are willing to do it! β
"Huh?"
I have to say that Saya Takashihiro's request really surprised Mary.
"Stay on the train?"
"Yes, we want to be able to stay on the train and work for you."
"Work??"
"Yes......... We are willing to do anything! And be sure to take us in! β
"This ....................."
Seeing Saya Takashiro bow her head and plead desperately, Mary frowned.
"I'm going to report this matter to Mr. Duanmu before making a decision, although I don't think Mr. Duanmu will definitely care, but is this really okay? Declare in advance that this train is the most dangerous from a certain point of view. β
"Miss Mary mean, are you going to the danger zone?"
"Well, that's basically ........."
Mary also sighed silently, she and Duanmu Huai had been together for so long, and Mary had already figured out the other party's action pattern. Investigate what's going on, find the most dangerous place here, dive headlong into it and then turn it all over......... Well, after all, Duanmu Huai has always done this.
"Why go to the danger zone?"
I have to say that Saya Takashiro was quite surprised to hear Mary's answer. Although she also guessed that since this group of people traveled by train, they must have a purpose. But they didn't expect their target to be a danger zoneβββ!
The so-called danger zones are those areas where there was an initial outbreak of mass zombies, and those areas were the first to break out of zombies, and then the government at that time dropped nuclear bombs in order to eliminate zombies. As a result, the zombies were not destroyed, but mutated under the influence of radiation and became an extremely terrifying existence. Saya Takashiro also heard Aiden and Joel say that that kind of place is simply hell, not only does it have excessive radiation, but even zombies are also powerful, and humans are not their opponents at all.
Even a "courier" like Aiden walks around the danger zone when encountered.
And now, they actually want to take the initiative to get in?
"We're not here just to survive, Miss Takashiro. The goal of the Inquisition is to guard humanity and eliminate all existence that endangers humanity, so Mr. Duanmu will definitely go to the danger zone and find a way to eliminate the dangerous existence that threatens this worldβββ so if you want to live a safer life, I suggest you get off at other gathering points as much as possible and leave. β
"This ..............."
I have to say that Mary's answer was indeed beyond Saya Takashihiro's imagination, so that she couldn't say anything for a while, so she could only nod silently, and then turned away.
After returning to the carriage, Saya Takashiro also told the others what he had heard from Mary, and everyone was amazed.
"Huh? Are they going to the danger zone? β
"Uh......... To be honest, it's not surprising to look at their equipment..............."
Recalling the heavy equipment on Duanmu Huai's body, Miyamoto Li was also in a cold sweat, indeed, it didn't look like an ordinary zombie.
"That......... Are we going to stay on the train? β
Faced with Ciri Alice's question, everyone fell silent for a while. Indeed, their original intention was to find a safe place to live. But this train that took the initiative to go to the danger zone did not look like it was safe......... Until then, though.........
"The safe zone is still a little too far away for us."
As she spoke, Saya Takashiro shook her head, and then she looked out the window with a nervous expression.
"Tomorrow will be the seventh day...............
Then, she muttered to herself.
Blood Moon.
In this world, nightmare nightmares happen once every seven days. On this day, the moon turns bright red, and all the zombies become more irritable than usual, and there may even be terrifying monsters that you can't imagine on a normal day.
And this day, from early in the morning, is different.
"I have to say, it's kind of funny."
Looking at the scenery outside the window, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh. When I woke up early this morning, I saw that there were clouds outside, lightning and thunder, and torrential rain. In addition, the most important point is that I don't know if it's because of a chemical reaction or what kind of reaction, the sunlight coming through the clouds is blood-red, and under the reflection of the sunlight, the whole world looks filled with some kind of strange color.
"Is this the seventh day? It looks a little weird. β
Eckel and Lumiel also frowned, looking outside, not knowing if it was their illusion, or some kind of induction brought by this blood-colored glow, they always felt that the dark shadows outside were like monsters hidden in the shadows, shaking their bodies constantly, as if they were dancing like a group of demons.
Mary, on the other hand, held a notebook and observed and recorded outside.
Compared with Duanmu Huai and the others, who looked like they were sightseeing, the survivors on the other side were not so calm. Aiden and Joel had been checking their firearms several times in a row since they got up in the morning, while Rei Miyamoto and Takashi Komuro had their weapons ready, and they even planned to get some planks or something to nail the windows of the car, but .........
"There's no need to be so nervous, it's just a little trouble, don't worry."
was vetoed by Duanmu Huai indifferently.
Of course, in their opinion, Duanmu Huai's indifferent behavior was completely out of ignorance of the blood moon, but unfortunately, this is someone's train, and they have the final say, and Duanmu Huai can do whatever he wants.
So although they feel that this is completely looking for death, but the other party does not listen to their opinions, and they have no choice.
Soon, time passed, the sun set, and the moon rose.
"Hoo ..............."
Aiden glanced at his watch, clenched the weapon in his hand, and strapped his bags. The others were similarly prepared, and although they didn't say it, to be honest, most didn't think that this train would survive the coming Blood Moon Frenzy. So all they have to do now, in addition to fighting the coming Blood Moon Frenzy, is to find an opportunity to prepare to escape this train.
This is actually normal, after all, in this world, in this kind of era, most people are still more concerned about their own affairs.
"Uh............... Bang dang dang dang ............! β
It was already evening, and the rain had stopped at some point, the thick dark clouds had dispersed, and a blood-red full moon hung high in the night sky, shining on the land in front of them. The whole world was dead silent, only the sound of the train speeding by, echoing all around, everyone staring out the window, holding their breath.
And under their watchful eyes, the outside world began to change.
"Woo ..............."
At first, I thought it was the sound of the wind blowing through the wilderness, but as the sound got closer and closer, bright red points of light appeared in the darkness, and the sound became more and more restless.
"It's coming!"
Aiden clenched the gun in his hand and stared out the window, only to see that on both sides of the speeding railway, zombies with red eyes pounced from a distance. They gathered together, hundreds of them turned into beings like the fury of a flood, let out a piercing scream, and threw themselves at the train!
While taking medicine, I began to update the meow .........
