6.7 per cent for option I, 46.7 per cent for option II, 33.3 per cent for option III and 13.3 per cent for option IV.

……

[Option 2]

[Stay at the RV and try to assemble new items]

……

"Be careful on the road."

Zheng Zhuo didn't plan to move anymore. After being bitten by a big zombie, he controlled the process of zombieization through [blocker], but the wound was still painful. Moreover, the partial zombieization of his body brought him a strong sense of fatigue.

"You are."

Yan Futi put the shotgun on his back and said.

"When you come back, don't let me see a zombie."

"Haha."

Zheng Zhuo is confident that he will not change the zombie. He was a little worried that Yan Futi would not be bitten by zombies.

In other words, the zombieized target person comes into contact with the cards...... Can it be considered a customs clearance?

Zheng Zhuo shook his head.

At least Yan Futi is a friendly teammate. There is no need for him to frame him.

"Bring the rhubarb."

Considering that young women can communicate with themselves in their heads, Zheng Zhuo said to Yan Futi.

But Yan Futi refused.

"Let it stay here. That way, if you have a corpse, it will still bark and remind me in time, instead of giving me a 'surprise' when I get back in the car. ”

It seems that Yan Futi's vigilance will not drop for a while.

…… At least he didn't shoot me, and he gave me blockers.

One cannot be too greedy. Zheng Zhuo didn't say anything more, waved goodbye to him.

But Zheng Zhuo didn't want to be like a real zombie, just sitting and motionless.

"Let's see what new things can be assembled."

Zheng Zhuo stood up and moved his stiff right hand.

……

What kind of props can expired drugs and medical equipment be combined with the steel pipes and linen that are already on the RV?

Zheng Zhuo thought as he repeatedly disassembled the short-mouth pistol he had obtained with one arm. He repeatedly compared the list given by [Quick Preparation] with the props in front of him, and began to try to assemble them.

The first is [painkiller powder].

[Quick Preparation] shows that grinding and mixing some drugs that Zheng Zhuo can't even pronounce his name smoothly can play a role in stopping bleeding and relieving pain.

Zheng Zhuo smashed them with the butt of his gun.

He was a little uneasy about using these expired items. But since [Rapid Preparation] said so, he believed it was harmless.

Zheng Zhuo doesn't know if there will be a side effect of expiration "causing excessive pain". But anyway, when he poured the powder on the wound, he felt no less pain than when a big zombie bites.

It's terrible.

Zheng Zhuo fell to the ground.

In the end, it was Rhubarb who pushed his face with his wet nose to bring him back to consciousness.

"You have to get used to these procedures."

The young woman said in a passer-by-person tone.

"They're not programmed with the user experience in mind."

“（…… Can't you think of a way? ）”

"Don't really think of programmers as gods."

Zheng Zhuo got up from the ground. To his surprise, his hand was indeed in better condition than it had just been.

He had to accept the fact that these painful things really worked.

(Were you really a programmer in real life?) ）”

He asked casually. And start making the next thing.

What he wanted to make was a retrofit for an RV. With those medical equipment, he could make more fine-tuned structural adjustments to the RV – he didn't have a lot of tools.

Now he can maintain the chassis. He plans to add some extra sheets to the wheels, axles, and chassis to prevent zombies clinging to tires like they had done when they left.

"No...... Possibly. ”

(Probably?) ）”

"I had just graduated when I started investigating the professor and his team."

Yes.

That is to say, there is no employment.

Other words......

(Unemployed after graduation?) ）”

"It's called flexible employment."

Rhubarb's nose wrinkled.

"Having an income is not considered unemployed......"

(In other words, the promised money has not been given to me.) ）”

“…… There are so many other things to keep busy......"

(Wow, I don't think you can do accounting at least.) ）”

Zheng Zhuo sighed.

Thankfully, he found some way to make money on his own. Otherwise, I would have starved to death.

(Hey.) ）”

"Huh?"

(Did you find your brother in the subconscious?) ）”

Zheng Zhuo asked while screwing the screws under the car.

“……”

The young woman was silent for a long time. Rhubarb walked around the side.

"Nope."

She spoke last.

"I've seen a lot of people like him. But none of them were him. ”

This means that his consciousness has not yet risen...... And sink deeper into other worlds. ”

“（…… ）”

This time, Zheng Zhuo didn't speak.

The young woman's brother has not yet come out. And she has decided to shut down the [Subconscious World].

This means......

"I can hear what you're thinking."

(Ah, sorry.) ）”

"Forget it, no need to apologize. When you said you wanted to come in and save people, I did think you were crazy. But at the same time, there is a glimmer of hope in my heart. ”

"I hope you can enter my brother's world with a 1 in 100 billion probability and bring him out as well."

(Bring it out.) He...... It's alive now. ）”

"Didn't I say that? He's in a vegetative state. However, vital signs were maintained all the time. Until now. ”

“（…… I would wish I could meet him. ）”

"I want to, too."

……

The silence lasted for some time.

Zheng Zhuo installed those iron plates. In the end, he spoke first.

(Tell me about the professor and his team.) They chased me for a long time. I'd like to know as much as I can. ）”

"How much do you know?" The young woman asked.

(He was at XX University.) ）”

"You know about the same as me."

(Really?) ）”

"Really. Other than that, I only know that his name is Yang Rong. It was only after you told me about Guo Qian that I realized that almost all the people in black suits in his team were 'living vegetative people' made by re-implanting the consciousness that had escaped from the subconscious world into the brain. ”

"This also explains a lot of the problem......"

What is the problem?

Just as Zheng Zhuo continued to ask, suddenly, Rhubarb's ears stood up.

It jerked its head.

Zheng Zhuo saw Yan Futi running back down the slope. He was out of breath and carrying a large piece of metal in his hands.

"Uncle!?"

Zheng Zhuo dropped the tools in his hand and rushed over to take the handle.

He found out that it was a whole intercom system. It looks like it was plucked from the vulture's car.

"Also...... It still works. Just plug it in. ”

Yan Futi took a breath and said.

"Quick. Throw it in the car. We're leaving. ”

"Go?"

"I heard the radio - the vultures are going to be out of control and are going to set fire to the neighborhood and clean up the neighborhood! ”

Yan Futi had already climbed into the driver's seat. He started the RV.

What!?

Zheng Zhuo and Rhubarb jumped into the RV after him.

"Where to start?"

"West End! Follow the street...... They're pouring gas! ”

……
