Daily life in Zongman

It seems that she was too tired and fell asleep yesterday.

But it doesn't matter. A new day means a new beginning. There will always be opportunities. She firmly believes in this.

-

Fujiwara Haru still woke up early. Although he wouldn't be practicing in this world, his daily habits wouldn't change. He went for a morning run and then went to the cafeteria to eat breakfast. After the fasting period, he ate ordinary meals not to fill his stomach, but simply to satisfy his appetite.

The cafeteria at Fujimi Private Academy typically uses fresh ingredients picked daily, but some longer-lasting ingredients are stored in a refrigerated warehouse. With a good power supply, the food reserves that once supplied 1,000 people for three days now supply 200. With meat and vegetables available, the food can last for two weeks, with rice, flour, and beans still available after that.

These conditions are excellent in the end times.

While eating, I noticed a plate in front of me and a pair of white and green school uniforms. The newcomer placed her hands on her hips, pushing down her skirt, and then sat down on the bench across from me.

I thought it was Busujima Saeko, but when I looked up, I found that it was not her. The person in front of me had blonde hair. After sitting down, she placed her proud breasts on the table, making a soft sound of "Puffing".

"Good morning, Fujiwara-kun."

Fujiwara Haru recalled the information from his memory of the apocalypse. The older sister sitting in front of him was named Marikawa Shizuka, the school doctor at Fujimi Academy. She was very innocent. In peacetime, she would be a great school doctor, with a strong sense of responsibility as a doctor, and she would take good care of the students.

However, in the doomsday, a silly personality will be a bit bad. This is not a gentle environment. Being suddenly stupid in danger will only bring trouble to teammates and yourself.

Fujiwara Haru was well aware that anime was anime and reality was reality, and that one couldn't apply the impressions and events from anime to real people. However, after a preliminary observation, he decided to place Marikawa Shizuka in the academy's logistics department, rather than assigning her to the expedition team.

Moreover, she is the school doctor of Fujimi Academy, and she is beautiful, kind, and popular. Even if her abilities are insufficient at first, she can still stabilize the students' emotions, and there is no need to take her on an expedition as a driver like in the original novel.

"Good morning, Mr. Juchuan, what can I do for you?"

"Yeah~ Nothing's wrong!~"

Shizuka Marikawa was a little flustered, with the kind of expression that showed at first glance that she had something on her mind but wasn't saying it.

"Then let's eat."

"Eh, yeah!"

Fujiwara Haru chewed slowly and finished all the food on her plate. It was delicious.

The girl at the front desk doesn't have the authority to teach private lessons yet. When things get arranged later, let her be Mr. Juchuan's assistant. Together, they'll lead the team to handle matters within the academy, gaining some authority while also getting some proper training.

Logistics is relatively non-dangerous, but also very tedious and challenging.

Thinking about things, after Mr. Juchuan in front of him finished eating, he asked again: "Mr. Juchuan, what happened just now?"

"Eh? Eh?"

Shizuka Marikawa was a little flustered.

"It's obvious. It's better to talk about it. I'll do my best to help you if I can."

"Um...it's really nothing~"

"Okay, then goodbye, Mr. Juchuan."

Since she didn't want to talk, Fujiwara Haru didn't press her any further. After putting the plates back, he found the team leaders who had arranged things the previous night and asked them to notify all survivors to gather at the teaching building at 8:00 AM, with the exception of the team that was on duty late last night.

During this time, Futaba came to the cafeteria to have breakfast. When she finished eating, they left the cafeteria together and walked towards the teaching building.

Asked: "Why doesn't Futaba use the tablecloth to eat breakfast? The gourmet tablecloth will provide more delicious food."

Fujiwara Haru placed the gourmet tablecloth with Futaba. After his fasting, the tablecloth was no longer necessary for him, so after confirming that there was a purple star gate, but not sure whether Futaba would join him, he gave the tablecloth to Futaba.

This way, if Futaba participates, the tablecloth will be a necessity and can be brought along for use. If Futaba doesn't participate, he won't have to take a risk with a treasure that is not essential to him and spend energy protecting it.

Futaba shook her head. "Don't use it until the food reserves are exhausted. Follow-up plans often require leaving the academy, so it's not suitable to take it out. There are risks if it is exposed."

Fujiwara Haru nodded to show that he understood. Since Futaba was right in front of him, he gave up thinking and asked directly: "So, Futaba, what should we do next? What are our plans?"

Futaba Rio explained in a calm tone, "Let me first tell you about my discovery yesterday. The time in this world is different from ours. It's April 2012 here, the time when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom."

"Last night, I collected information through my phone, TV, and computer. My phone uses a 3G network, and no one answered the emergency line, which suggests the police station has been compromised. TV shows are limited to pre-scheduled programming, and the breaking news has stopped. I can't get any information from the news, which confirms the government's inability to administer. A computer search yielded few relevant news posts, mostly scattered distress messages from survivors. This confirms that this is a global crisis, not just a single region."

"From all indications, it seems that what the Lord God said is true. This world has completely experienced an apocalyptic crisis. In a short period of time, 80% of the human population has been transformed into zombies. A large-scale zombie outbreak has also occurred within the government and military, causing the complete collapse of administrative and rescue functions."

"We need to save ourselves and try to save other survivors as soon as possible."

"With this as the basis, there are five planned events for today: clean up the academy and cremate the bodies, collect and inventory the academy's supplies, organize and dispatch an outbound team to explore the academy's surroundings, inspect the academy walls and reinforce the dormitories, and finally, once you're done with everything, Fujiwara, take me to Tokyo."

Without asking why he wanted to leave the host city for Tokyo, he simply nodded and said, "Okay."

Futaba continued to explain the plan further.

"Cleansing the academy and cremating all the zombie corpses is the most important thing. Today, we'll prioritize clearing the teaching building to facilitate the subsequent arrangement of other personnel to collect supplies. It's still important to wear protective gear..."

He walked to a garden some distance away from the teaching building, stopped and listened quietly to Futaba's plans.

At this moment, I noticed a girl walking towards me from a distance behind Futaba. She had twin ponytails and was cute and lovely. When she got closer, she blinked, put her index finger to her lips and made a "hush" gesture, then walked over to me.

The girl opened her lips slightly and said silently: "A small return gift~ There will be more later~"

As she lip-synced, she unwrapped a small piece of candy, then pinched the candy between her delicate white index finger and thumb, raised it to her mouth.

Opening her mouth, the girl gently pushed the candy into her mouth with her index finger.

I licked it and it was an orange-flavored candy, which was quite delicious.

The girl quickly retracted her index finger, her face expressionless as she continued to mouth the words, "Hey~ See you later, Fujiwara-kun~"

Then the girl with twin ponytails put her hands behind her back and walked towards the teaching building with brisk steps.

Looking at the girl walking away, Fujiwara Haru confirmed one thing: when Kato had twin tails, she would basically not attract other people's attention, just like when she had a single ponytail.

"Stupid Fujiwara, are you listening?"

Futaba in front of her was a little unhappy. She noticed that Fujiwara was looking behind her, and turned around to see nothing unusual.

"I'm listening. I was just talking about collecting supplies, prioritizing books and desks in the teaching building."

"Yeah, that's right."

Futaba nodded in satisfaction. As long as she wasn't distracted, she continued, "After yesterday's research, I found that zombies have a slightly stronger bite force than humans, but it's not exaggerated. They haven't mutated into fangs, so they still can't bite through a half-centimeter thick piece of paper."

"The collected books can be tied to your hands to make arm armor, and the desks can be disassembled to obtain iron and wood raw materials..."

Futaba continued to explain the key points of the plan, trying her best to make the details and purpose of the plan clear.

As she continued to listen, she noticed a senior student approaching from a distance behind Futaba. Her long black hair flowed freely, and she looked mature and elegant. As she approached, she noticed the two people in the park, blinked her beautiful eyes, put her index finger to her lips in a "hush" gesture, and then walked a short distance behind Futaba.

Senior Shiyu looked around, then lifted the hem of her skirt slightly. Her white, tender thighs revealed more and more of their flesh as she moved, until she stopped at the edge.

With a mischievous smile on her face, Senior Shiyu quickly lifted the hem of her skirt for a second, then let go, and the hem of her skirt fluttered down, covering the secret again.

Then she crossed her long white legs and continued walking towards the teaching building with brisk steps.

Praise Shiyu-senpai, my curiosity was satisfied. It was still the same style as last night. Perhaps it was not only the same style, but also the same pair?

After all, there's no clothing store at Fujimi's school. Perhaps she doesn't want to wear someone else's clothes, so she hasn't changed yet. Will it smell after wearing it for two days? I'll go to the clothing store later and pick up some new underwear and clothes suitable for spring.

"I say, stupid Fujiwara, are you even listening?"

Noticing that Fujiwara was looking behind her, Futaba looked back again, but didn't find anything unusual.

"I was listening. I just mentioned that the exploration team's equipment is mainly spears and shields."

"Yes, that's right."

Futaba nodded in satisfaction, as long as she wasn't distracted. She continued, "Before we get guns, we can use the school bus as a means of transportation and make shields from the dismantled desks. One team can hold shields to defend, while the other team can use spears to kill the zombies without taking any damage."

"You can use a bow and arrow, but without a lot of practice, it's difficult to master it. Also, zombies use hearing to find their prey. You could set a tripwire trap by stretching a rope across the street, then ring a bell on the other side of the rope to kill them en masse."

"In anime and movies, as long as the zombies haven't undergone some unrealistic mutations, humans are often shown to be powerless against them for cinematic effect. Beings who rely on their intelligence to reach the top of the food chain, facing their own kind who have lost their intelligence, they can easily kill them without taking any damage as long as they remain calm."

After Futaba finished talking about the exploration team, she began to talk about the precautions for inspecting the wall.

As she continued to listen, she noticed another senior student approaching from a distance behind Futaba. Her long purple hair was flowing freely, and she wore a bamboo sword at her waist, looking slender and elegant. As she approached, she noticed the two people in the park and stood aside, waiting.

After Futaba finished explaining the plan, it was already seven fifty.

Walking towards the teaching building again, Fujiwara Haru nodded and greeted Busujima Saeko who had been waiting nearby: "Good morning, Busujima-senpai."

"Good morning, Fujiwara-kun."

The three of them arrived at the teaching building together. The survivors gathered in the open space and were talking to each other. The scene was a bit chaotic and noisy.

Busujima Saeko stepped forward, pulled out her bamboo sword, and struck the iron pillar beside her, making a loud noise: "Silence!"

Everyone at the scene fell silent and looked at Busujima Saeko. She walked aside and gave up the main seat.

Fujiwara Haru walked up the stairs, looked at everyone, and said, "Keep quiet. Let's begin today's schedule."

As arrangements were made, the survivors gradually divided into groups. Those with the strongest energy were assigned to a group led by a teacher to begin cleaning the school building. The less physically fit female students were assigned to the logistics team, led by teacher Shizuka Marikawa, with Kato Megumi as their assistant, overseeing the collection, sorting, processing, and distribution of supplies.

The day after the zombie apocalypse broke out, Fujiwara Haru and Futaba Rio began initial team building and had a complete base in the suburbs that could be developed for a long time.

If the sea creatures will not be transformed into zombies, they can be appropriately moved to island bases and other places in the middle and late stages, which is safer.

The group of people who wanted to leave last night looked at Fujiwara Haru, who was making decisive decisions, planning in an orderly manner, and commanding with measured control. Some of them started to discuss: "I heard others say that he killed Shido-sensei, but he doesn't look like a bad guy. Is there something wrong with Shido-sensei?"

"Wouldn't it be safer for us to stay here?"

"I don't think zombies are that dangerous. I prefer to be free. I want to leave here."

A few whispers were heard among the crowd, and Jing Haoyong looked at Komuro Takashi: "Ah Xiao, we..."

"I'm going back. I'm going to check on my mother. You don't have to follow me."

"Ah Xiao, you know my parents are both abroad. I'm most worried about you and Miyamoto Rei when I'm here. You told me to give up on you, but I can't do it."

Komuro Takashi clenched his fists and remained silent. Besides worrying about his mother at home, he also wanted to avoid being with his best friend, Igo Nagashi, and his childhood sweetheart, Miyamoto Rei. He didn't want to see them. His best friend was with his childhood sweetheart, with whom he had promised to marry. Watching them, he felt increasingly depressed.

Takagi Saya stood behind them, looking at Komuro Takashi. She knew very well that staying at school was the safest option at this stage. Not only was there strength in numbers, but the mere presence of the suspected New Human leader was enough to keep them all safe.

Furthermore, Fujiwara Haru's plan was flawless, even more complete than the one she'd devised the previous night. She possessed both military prowess and intelligence, acting decisively and possessing a brilliant personality. In a card-drawing game, she was a definite T0 Human Rights card player. The fact that she'd drawn one at the start was a perfect start.

This is definitely the safest place at this stage.

But she said nothing. She had always had a crush on Takashi Komuro and was willing to take the risk to follow him home.

It was a pity that she couldn't bring the fat man with her. She had always felt that the fat man was not simple, but she didn't find anything unusual. She had thought that the fat man would be stronger and that he seemed to like her, so she planned to use this to protect herself.

But for some reason, the fat man didn't go with her in the end, which made Saya Takagi very angry.

After a brief wait, Komuro and his companions received their weapons: a good spear, a short club, arm armor crafted on-site from books, simple armor made from several school uniform jackets, as well as three days' worth of food, basic medicine, and a simple telescope. Unfortunately, Komuro and his companions didn't have any members of the archery club, otherwise they would have received a bow and a bag of arrows.

With a creak, the school gate opened, and Komuro Takashi and others pushed their bicycles out of the private Fujimi Academy.

These equipments certainly cannot kill the zombie horde head-on, but small groups of zombies are no longer a problem for them as long as they can deal with them calmly.

Although these people decided to leave and not accept rule, Fujiwara Haru would not really let them die. After all, they are still human beings.

With weapons, protective gear, food, and tools, as long as you are not a fool and do reconnaissance in advance and move slowly to avoid large groups of zombies, it is basically impossible to be hurt by zombies.

However, a few people with wounds on their mouths were not given weapons or food according to Saeko Busujima's instructions. As for the reason, Fujiwara Haru didn't bother to ask. Those who were disliked by Busujima were probably doing something dirty, so he was just driven away.

After watching Komuro Takashi and the others leave, Fujiwara Haru stopped paying attention to them. Although he is the protagonist of the original work, he will not flatter or bully them. In fact, he appreciates Komuro Takashi's statement that he went home to confirm his mother's safety.

He's a man, I wish him good luck.

After making all the necessary arrangements, Fujiwara Haruya headed out with the exploration team. He decided to take them around the academy, clearing out some zombies so they could see some blood and gain the courage to face the zombies head-on.

After he left the teaching building, a group of girls found Shizuka Marikawa.

"Mr. Marikawa, I saw you having breakfast with Mr. Fujiwara this morning. I'm curious about what you talked about."

"By the way, Mr. Marikawa, what does Mr. Fujiwara eat the most in his morning meal? If we know what he likes to eat, we can prepare some accordingly in the future."

"Could you please tell Master Fujiwara a word?"

Teacher Juchuan was surrounded and listened to the noisy voices, feeling a little flustered: "Eh? Um, um, so many questions..."

The girls surrounded her and began to ask questions and make suggestions. The girl with twin ponytails and Kasumigaoka Utaha not far away watched them quietly.

Finally, one of the girls suggested to Shizuka Marikawa, "Teacher Marikawa, could you talk to Master Fujiwara and arrange something easier for us? Gathering supplies and moving things is so tiring. Why not let the boys do it? They're naturally stronger."

"Yeah, yeah, you can let the boys move the things. We can help sort it out."

Marikawa Shizuka's troubled expression disappeared, and she looked serious as she grabbed the shoulder of the girl who made the suggestion.

"You can't do this! The boys are already doing something more dangerous. We should fully support them and not push these trivial matters onto them. This is wrong!"

The girls gathered around quieted down. The usually gentle school doctor suddenly became serious, which made them a little scared.

"You can't shirk your responsibilities, understand? Fujiwara-kun has taken good care of us. If you feel tired, you can take a break, but you absolutely cannot be lazy or shirk your responsibilities. I'm the head of the logistics team now, and if I find out. Um... if I find out... if I find out..."

The girls looked at the school doctor Ju Chuan, who was at a loss for punishment, and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was still the same gentle and silly teacher, still easy to deceive.

After struggling for a long time, Shizuka Marikawa remembered something. She used to tell her students that if they were bullied, they could come to her and she would teach the bullies a lesson. As a teacher, this was her responsibility.

Unfortunately, no students came to see her.
