I am Jinshan Youxia

It seems that someone lured these zombies in this direction beforehand.

Zhang Chengyi and the test subject didn't care; they treated it like strolling through a bustling shopping mall. However, Long Yi couldn't continue like this. If they got too close and made a sound, it would inevitably trigger a large-scale attack.

Therefore, a detour is required.

The character 坂 (saka) in Japanese actually means a slope. 东坂 (Higashi-saka) means the eastern slope.

Just like Kabukicho has 1-chome and 2-chome, Higashisaka also has 1-chome and 2-chome. The Takashiro family lives in Higashisaka 2-chome, which is the second street on the eastern slope.

Zhang Chengyi and his two companions could come directly from the foot of the mountain, or they could take a detour and go up via another route.

Since they are on foot, it's much simpler than the main characters in the comics who drive. At least they won't attract the attention of the zombies and end up surrounded by them in front of insurmountable roadblocks.

After going around in circles and walking too slowly, they finally arrived at Higashisaka 2-cho around 4 p.m., as the sun was setting. The entire intersection was blocked by concrete blocks with wire attached. A forklift was parked inside the roadblock. As the three of them approached, a bald man in a white shirt stood inside the roadblock and shouted, "Someone's coming, but they're suspicious!"

Immediately afterward, a man in a black uniform with a white bandana bearing the name "Isshinkai" on his arm stepped onto a forklift, pointed a shotgun at the three men, and said in a wary tone, "If you come any closer, I'll shoot!"

There was no way around it; Zhang Chengyi was just too suspicious. In such warm weather, he was wrapped up tightly and carrying a blond guy covered in wounds. It was practically blatantly telling everyone that they were infected.

Even seemingly normal boys were suspected of having problems.

After describing the mustache's appearance, Long Yi whispered, "He's pointing a gun at us."

"Step back to the side, be careful not to get hit by stray bullets."

Zhang Chengyi gave a brief instruction, then looked up. In his blurry vision, he could indeed see a human-shaped outline standing on the roadblock. He calmly asked, "Excuse me, is this the headquarters of the Patriotic Unity Society?"

As he spoke, he not only did not retreat, but also stepped forward.

Long Yi carefully retreated to the wall near the slope.

The man with the mustache placed his finger on the trigger and said, "We don't welcome bitten people here." The Patriotic Society had been rescuing survivors in the vicinity ever since the zombie crisis broke out yesterday.

According to Chairman Gao Cheng's plan, he should take useful people who are willing to leave with him and escape the city by car in a few days. Useless ordinary people are not welcome here, and the door will not be opened to suspected infected persons.

If he were on a rescue mission, he would have opened fire as soon as he saw the suspected infected person approaching. However, opening fire near his own road could attract other zombies, which is why he used the gun to deter them.

But as Zhang Chengyi drew closer, the man with the mustache finally pressed his finger down.

"boom!"

The shotgun fired, and the sound of the gunshot spread rapidly, masking the sound of the bullets piercing the concrete ground.

[Physical Deterioration] *1

Zhang Chengyi, who was being attacked, activated his high speed in advance. With a flash, he leaped high into the air and jumped over the concrete roadblock.

By the time the man with the mustache heard the sound and looked up to see the figure, it was too late. Before he could even raise his gun, a figure descended from the sky and pressed down on the back of his head, causing him to slam into the back of the forklift with a thud and instantly pass out.

"Ahhh!"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the bald man and the forklift operator turned and ran without hesitation.

A spear?

Zhang Chengyi ignored the two fleeing men, touched the captured shotgun, squinted at the ground, and pulled the trigger, but it didn't fire.

Whether it was because he was out of bullets or something else, he had absolutely no idea how to fire a gun. He shook his head, casually crushed the barrel of the gun, turned around, grabbed the protruding steel bar on the concrete block with one hand, and pulled hard. With a screeching sound that gave people goosebumps, the roadblock was forcibly pulled open, creating a gap big enough for a person to pass through.

What a monster.

As Long Yi looked at it, the thought popped into his head: such a large cement block must weigh at least several tons, yet it was so easily pulled apart with one hand.

Is this still a body of flesh and blood?

Chapter 70 Different Stances

"Wait for me here."

Zhang Chengyi carried the cement block back to block the intersection, leaving Huang Mao and Long Yi, whose limbs had been broken, behind. He then headed into the street as a corpse.

Even if he is weak, he is still an opponent with modern firearms. He can take down the enemy with his preemptive speed and can withstand stray bullets that he cannot dodge. The two people he is with are fragile and will die if they are touched.

Let's just charge in, wipe them all out, and then slowly sort out friend from foe.

Incidentally, the Patriotism Association in the manga actually saved a group of leftists, namely those idiots who belittled the Self-Defense Forces and the US military, clamored for world peace and Asian peace, and hated Takashiro Soichiro's fighting and killing.

There's nothing that can be done about someone's intellectual disability; basically, anyone who's even remotely outstanding in this comic is inextricably linked to the right wing.

Presumably because of the gunshots, Zhang Chengyi had only taken a few steps when he heard footsteps approaching, and several blurry human figures appeared in his blurry vision.

"stop!"

"You bastard, don't come any closer!"

Oh right, the "Patriotism Society" sounds like a big organization, but in reality there aren't many people. In the manga, only about a dozen or twenty of the Takashiro family's subordinates appeared in total. Takashiro Soichiro and his wife did almost everything themselves.

On the contrary, the majority of those rescued were civilians. When the Takagi family's house was breached by zombies, these civilians were mostly very obedient and joined the victorious camp.

Moreover, there weren't many guns in total. After all, Japan is a country that is extremely sensitive about firearms, which is why they wanted to requisition the guns that the main characters brought with them.

"Shh!"

Zhang Chengyi, a slow-moving zombie, left a trail of afterimages as he ran. Not knowing whether these people had guns, he deliberately ran in a zigzag pattern, only to completely overestimate his opponents, and the battle ended in an instant.

"Thump!" X4

"Tap, tap, tap"

He calmly walked past the four unconscious people and continued forward. A walkie-talkie on one of the fallen men behind him crackled to life: "Yoshioka! Yoshioka! What happened?!"

The sound, mixed with the crackling of electricity, was met only with the rhythmic, mechanical sound of footsteps.

Zhang Chengyi held the Japanese sword he had seized, twirling it to get a feel for it. It was very different from the swords in the Tianlong World, but that didn't stop him from using it.

Arrived.

He stopped and looked at the electric folding door blocking his way, and at the dozens of eyes staring at him from the doorway.

"You bastard, state your name!"

The leader spoke in a deep, serious voice.

“Jinshan Ranger.” Zhang Chengyi didn’t use a translator; instead, he spoke in slightly hoarse Mandarin, “Zhang Chengyi.”

"Chinese?"

"You're dressed so strangely."

The lively discussion first spread among the onlookers on both sides of the door.

"I am Takashiro Soichiro, the president of the Patriotic Society," the leading figure said in a deep voice. "We do not welcome Chinese people here."

His voice was filled with intense disgust.

There are two types of right-wing groups in Japan: the street faction and the academic faction. The street faction has close ties with the yakuza and is responsible for riots, marches, and anti-China slogans. The academic faction is responsible for denying the war of aggression, glorifying the history of aggression, and providing political, financial, and academic support to the street faction.

As for the Patriotism Society, although Saya Takagi in the manga repeatedly says that Soichiro Takagi is a right-wing leader and a right-wing intellectual, the fact that he was able to organize people to try to escape immediately after the zombie outbreak and that he even had firearms suggests that it is not as simple as just 'ideology'.

"President, should we..."

"He's carrying Yoshioka's knife. Yoshioka might already be dead. Let's kill him, Chairman!"

Hearing the commotion among his subordinates, Takashiro Soichiro did not rush to speak. Even though his wife had already gripped the submachine gun at her waist, he did not touch his own knife.

His instincts as a warrior told him that the Chinese man in front of him was dangerous.

His gaze shifted slightly, and he said in a firm voice, "Chinese people, step back now."

"Not bad, you want to kill me or something." Zhang Chengyi placed one hand on the electric folding door, and with the other hand holding a knife, he flipped over with great flair. However, both his knife grip and his standing posture were extremely amateurish.

"You bastard!" One of the members of the Patriotic Alliance, who had drawn his sword, strode over, shouting, "The Solemn Flow of Heaven's Way—"

"Cut your teeth!"

The blade slashed mercilessly toward Zhang Chengyi's neck.

Takashiro Soichiro neither stopped them nor joined in the attack; his reason was still fighting against his instincts.

"Clang!" The next second, Zhang Chengyi, who looked like an amateur, swung his long sword and struck first, cutting the Japanese sword in half and beheading the attacker at the same time.

"Perfect timing, I was just thinking of killing you all anyway." He said in a very relaxed tone.

"Soichiro!" Yuriko Takagi called out sharply, raising her submachine gun and firing at the dangerous enemy not far away.

Since someone has already died, we can no longer hesitate. Regardless of right or wrong, we must distinguish between life and death.

"Snapped!"

Zhang Chengyi was already very fast, but the distance was too close, his eyesight was poor, and it was a submachine gun. He couldn't dodge in time and blood gushed from his arm. However, he seemed to be unharmed as he pushed off the ground to escape the pursuit of the gun muzzle and raised his long knife high.

"bass!"

A flash of light.

Yuriko Takagi's heavy face was frozen on her face, her body severed from its head.

"Yuriko!"

Takashiro Soichiro screamed, his anger not making his mind go blank. Instead, he quickly used his left thumb to push the knife, smoothly drew the knife with his right hand, brought his hands together above, gripped the hilt, and slashed down with the long sword, making a twisting motion like wringing a towel. The blade drew a bright arc.

A perfectly executed Japanese sword technique – Karatake.

"when!"

The back of the blade met the edge, producing a loud clanging sound. Then, sparks flew as the blade and back of the blade rubbed together. Takagi Soichiro's attack was not over; it had only just begun.

Tang Zhu's key point is that when he slashes downwards, he must 'throw' the force outwards. After rubbing against the back of the blade, his whole body spins around like a top, carrying the blade. He then suddenly exerts force, combining the force of his body's rotation to change his move into a kasaya slash that moves diagonally from right to left.

"when!"

Such a swift and powerful strike was still easily blocked.

"Don't worry, I will give you the easiest way to die as my enemies."

Zhang Chengyi held his knife in one hand, pressing it against his opponent's blade, and said in a very relaxed tone that even if he couldn't see clearly, humans from a world without supernatural powers would not be able to encounter him in close combat.

The reason they were given a quick death is that, in the comics, the Patriotic Society is actually a righteous organization that even saves leftists who oppose them.

We simply have different stances, nothing more.
