Inuyasha: My job stats have no limits.

"If you offer me the school bus keys as a token of your allegiance, could you let me join your ranks?"

"Gaocheng?"

Rei Miyamoto stared in astonishment at the person before her: "How did you end up here?"

Why can't I be here?

Saya Takagi toyed with her pink ponytail stained with blood, and said proudly, "As for the reason, I can tell you, because the idiots' organization is not worth joining!"

Facing the inexplicably confident girl, Saeko Busujima looked at Shirai and said softly:

"Do we need a spendthrift dog?"

Chapter 17 Even without that key, I can still lead everyone to survive.

In the corridor stained with blood.

A pink-haired girl with pigtails suddenly appeared and stood quietly there, the school bus key that Bai Lan and the others needed hanging from her fingertips.

She wanted to join the team led by Bai Lan.

It must be said that everyone Bai Lan encountered in this world had a very beautiful figure.

It's no wonder this is a world that produces iconic scenes like dodging bullets and human gunstocks.

"Hmm... it just feels like the car key is a bit lacking in sincerity."

Bai Lan naturally knew that Saeko Busujima wanted to suppress the arrogance of the person in front of her and also to avoid discord within the team later... But judging from this, Saeko still seemed to favor the other person joining?

A decent vehicle provides a good level of safety in these chaotic times.

He thought for a moment, then walked straight ahead without saying a word.

Saeko Busujima paused for a moment, then pursed her lips and followed without saying a word. Rei Miyamoto and Shizuka Marikawa were puzzled, but they followed anyway, leaving only Saya Takagi behind.

She was stunned. What was going on with this group of people?

He just called me a spendthrift and then left?

So annoying!

I'm so angry!

"Hey, don't you guys want the school bus key? With this, you can leave Fujimi School and go to a safe place to find rescue!"

The words had barely left his mouth when the other side gave their answer.

"Even without that key, I can still lead everyone out of the campus."

The words, which conveyed no fear whatsoever, immediately broke Takagi Saya's composure: "You may be able to leave the school, but what about her?"

Stealing the key would definitely make her hated by Fujiwara Koichi and his group. Besides, she couldn't possibly get close to the school bus by herself.

She wanted to chase after him for protection, but her proud nature made her stop in her tracks, her slender little hands gripping the keys tightly.

She only snapped out of her daze when she heard the sound of a corpse behind her, and shivered. Her so-called pride was worthless in the face of life and death.

"Wait, wait for me."

...

"Shouldn't we include her?"

Seeing Takagi Saya standing alone and pitifully in the distance, Miyamoto Rei hesitated for a moment before asking softly.

"She couldn't survive in this world alone..."

Bai Lan glanced at her, but instead of answering the question, she asked a completely irrelevant one.

"Having seen what happened in the staff room, have you thought the issue through?"

This question refers to what was said earlier in the infirmary. Miyamoto Rei wasn't stupid, so she naturally knew what it was about, and she nodded sullenly.

If you still harbored any illusions before, those illusions should be shattered now.

Although her desire to get close to Bai Lan had surged due to the 'resting muscles' incident, it doesn't mean she wasn't irrational; she still took note of what had happened before.

There is no order at all now. That scumbag, Koichi Fujito, has crossed the line of humanity and is only trying to save his own life.

"Since you know this, you should let go of your useless pity, otherwise you will only hurt yourself in the end."

After Bai Lan finished speaking, Saeko Busujima added, "Although we haven't had any dealings with this junior named Saya Takagi yet, just from the first impression, we can tell that she is no ordinary person. Her arrogant personality will cause us a lot of trouble."

"If we have to provide protection and tolerate her proud nature just for a key, this deal was unequal from the start. Compared to the desire to 'survive,' she offered far too little."

"Too..."

Rei Miyamoto wasn't stupid; she immediately understood that this wasn't a matter of bargaining chips. Shirai and Saeko Busujima weren't unwilling to make a deal with her.

Rather, it was simply that he didn't want to protect a proud young lady who wouldn't obey orders.

However, even though I understand, I still feel a little reluctant to do it.

"Since we've chosen Ah Bai, shouldn't we trust him unconditionally?"

Saeko Busujima gave her a meaningful look, and said with a hint of ambiguity, "Didn't Miyamoto-san make her decision a long time ago? Could it be that she regrets it now?"

No, that's not it!

Rei Miyamoto immediately retorted, but when she saw Saeko Busujima's smiling eyes, a blush appeared on her face. She lowered her head, her fingertips twirling, and she exuded a delicate aura, as if she were inciting everyone to bully her.

She stammered, "I never thought about making a choice from the beginning. It's just that my senior chose me and was willing to help me, so I was willing to follow him."

Because my senior is really reliable!

Family members, who understands this feeling of security?!

When she was being chased by zombies and filled with despair, her senior appeared like a hero, taking her hand and pulling her behind him, offering her meticulous protection...

That sense of security is something no one else can provide!

So when she was in the staff room, facing her childhood sweetheart and the person who was willing to listen to her troubles, she could only follow her heart, choose to surrender to her desires, and willingly fall into that sense of security that was enough to drown her.

"Then you really made the right choice this time!"

Saya Takagi caught up, panting, and immediately gave an affirmative answer to Rei Miyamoto's question.

"Komuro and the others are too naive. They are so engrossed in the illusions carefully woven by others that they are no longer qualified to see the truth. In the end, they can only drown in their dreams with this dream."

Then she recounted her entire experience, and at the end, she clenched her small hands, filled with righteous indignation.

“I did want to pull him out, but it was no use... because I'm not dead yet... I can't compare to the two who saved him.”

Even so, she could not possibly sacrifice her life for others.

"In short, that bastard Koichi Fujito is an absolute scumbag who treats everyone like disposable materials just to save his own life!"

"Yes, that guy is a hypocrite!"

Upon hearing the name 'Kouichi Wisteria,' the shyness on Miyamoto Rei's face vanished, replaced by a burning rage. However, she still glanced at Bai Lan, and seeing him nod as if encouraged, she spoke with resentment.

"Next time we meet, I'll definitely teach him a lesson!"

While the others were feeling indignant, only Shizuka Marikawa rubbed her belly and said blankly, "Aren't you hungry after chatting for so long? Do you want to go out to eat? I know a Chinese restaurant that's really good."

“…”

The group of people who were chatting suddenly stared blankly at Shizuka Marikawa. What was wrong with her? Had she gotten milk in her brain?

What time is it, and you're still thinking about going out to eat?

They couldn't understand, but Bai Lan's eyes lit up: "Great suggestion, let's go eat!"

If you want to say something that can pique Bai Lan's interest, it's either getting stronger or eating rice.

"That's a great suggestion, but the Chinese restaurants you like probably don't exist anymore."

Saeko Busujima gave a charming smile: "But boss, shouldn't we deal with that junior who casually infiltrated our ranks right now?"

"Your junior is very smart. She knows the team's weaknesses and then talks about the things that Miyamoto cares about most, so she can easily integrate into the team."

At this point, she couldn't help but sigh.

"This junior is really smart."

Chapter 18 Saya Takagi: Please let me hold you, please.

Saya Takagi doesn't want to become a monster; she wants to live!

This is an extremely simple wish.

However, in today's world, it seems extremely greedy.

For an individual human being, surviving in this chaotic world is no less difficult than surviving a Maybach on a rainy night overpass.

After finally breaking away from their original team, they found a team with high safety levels and whose members' personalities had not yet become twisted.

How could Takagi Saya give up!

She doesn't care what she has to do, as long as she can survive!

By offering the school bus keys as a token of surrender and agreeing to numerous conditions that seemed designed to humiliate her pride, Takagi Saya finally managed to join the team.

shame...

But you can always survive...

Saya Takagi thought sadly that if it were before the disaster, she would never have imagined that one day she would be voluntarily washing clothes, cooking, carrying luggage, and taking care of people like a maid.

How could I possibly agree to something like that!

That was what she originally intended to say, but upon hearing the screams and the sounds of corpses outside the window, she agreed instead.

The surrounding environment was far too dangerous.

I'll be a servant then... as long as I can go home, these nightmares should finally end.

...

...

At this time, Bai Lan and her group consisted of five people.

They are Shirai, Saeko Busujima, Shizuka Marikawa, Rei Miyamoto, and Saya Takagi, who joined last.
