My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

The moment Li Wei canceled his stealth mode, as if sensing something special, the peculiar zombie immediately detected him. Receiving the signal, the numerous zombies rushed towards the boy as if under orders from a superior.

"it's useless."

Ordinary zombies can be easily eliminated even by firearms, so they can't even touch the mysterious area.

In the blink of an eye, Li Wei had already reached the creature's side. Just as he was about to finish off the special zombie, his combat instincts kicked in, causing him to relocate. The next moment, the spot where he had been standing seemed to have been attacked by some invisible force; large sections of the floor turned to dust, and many zombies were smashed into mincemeat.

This is the first time Li Wei has encountered a supernatural attack in this timeline, but the method of attack seems somewhat familiar.

But that's all.

The boy silently appeared behind the peculiar zombie, extending a finger and gently touching the back of its head. The next second, the strange mutant's brain exploded like a watermelon crushed by lightning, scattering into countless fragments.

The once orderly horde of zombies descended into chaos once more after the death of the special zombie, becoming indistinguishable from the horde outside.

After doing all this, the boy continued into stealth mode and headed towards the marked location.

Occasionally, he would get lost along the way, but that's okay. There were no doors in the world originally, but Li Wei created one by taking a trip.

Thus, overcoming obstacles and building bridges, the boy successfully arrived at the door of a warehouse. Judging from the faint breathing sounds inside, there must be more than one person.

"Yao...Mom, are you inside?"

After clearing away all the zombies at the door, Li Wei politely knocked on the door: "Don't be afraid, I've come to pick you up."

Who knows what happened inside? What if someone gets injured or mutates? You'll have nowhere to cry then.

"This sounds like my son's voice..." Without a doubt, it was Yaozi's voice.

"How did your son end up here?" The voice sounded somewhat familiar.

"Mom, should we open the door?" This voice sounds familiar too.

After a series of muttering sounds, the door was finally opened.

Chapter 14 Human Flesh Sandwich

"They're all acquaintances."

As the door opened, Li Wei couldn't help but sigh upon seeing the three wary women inside.

Besides Yoko, who looked excited and relieved, the other two were the large-sized Yukinoshita and the extra-large-sized Yukinoshita, whom we hadn't seen in a long time.

Seeing familiar faces safe and sound is certainly a good thing, but does this also prove that a smaller version of Yukinoshita exists in this world as well?

"Avi, this is Aunt Yukinoshita, a friend of Mom's. She even held you when you were little."

Yangzi, I might know this even better than you do.

And it doesn't even have to be when I was a child; he hugged me not long ago, although it was from another timeline.

"So it really is Avi. It's been so long, he's grown so much." The oversized Yukinoshita sighed with emotion, then thought of her daughter, who was about the same age as Li Vi but whose fate was unknown, and couldn't help but feel sad: "I wonder how Yukino is doing now."

Great, the smaller version of Yukinoshita is also available here, so we have one more person to bring.

"Don't worry, Aunt Yukinoshita, we'll go find her once we've escaped safely."

Li Wei sliced ​​a Licker that had crept up to his head and was about to launch a sneak attack in two with a backhand motion, and said this very seriously.

After a brief exchange, the boy roughly understood the experiences and events of the three people after the zombie crisis broke out.

Logically, they should have already boarded the plane, but for some reason, the flight was delayed, preventing the worst-case scenario from happening. After the crisis erupted, Yang Nai decisively pulled the two bewildered individuals into the warehouse and used a cabinet to barricade the door until Li Wei arrived and reopened it.

"How is Kazusa now?"

Seeing that her son was alright, Yoko breathed a sigh of relief, but then began to worry about her daughter.

"Kazusa is safe now, she's with a team of survivors I brought out, let's go and meet up with them now."

"So, Touma, how do we leave?" Yukinoshita asked.

Seeing the boy just raise his hand and slice open a zombie that was over ten feet tall and had a waist circumference of over ten feet, leaving it hanging, his combat prowess was indeed commendable, but there were still countless zombies outside.

When the population exceeds ten thousand, it becomes boundless and limitless. When the population exceeds one hundred thousand, it stretches from the earth to the sky.

At first, I only planned to bring Yaozi out, so I could just hold her hand and sneak around. It wouldn't matter if there was one more person, since I had two King's Power weapons.

But it's obviously not feasible with just three people. I'm not a four-armed overlord; I can only carry two people at most when I'm stealthily moving.

"The best solution right now is for me to take two people out first, and leave one person in the warehouse to wait for my next return." Li Wei raised one finger.

Needless to say, as a child of the Touma family, he could never abandon his adoptive mother here, so the other spot had to be chosen between the two Yukinoshitas.

To the boy, it was just a matter of waiting a little longer for the next bus. But to the two girls, it could be a matter of life and death.

The two sides weren't that close, so who knows if they would actually come back to rescue people? Even if they did, staying in such a zombie-infested environment for even a little while longer could be life-threatening.

"In that case, let's take Yukino out of here." At the critical moment, a mother's instinct led the oversized Yukino to choose to give her daughter the hope of survival: "If you can see Yukino, please tell her that Mom will always love her and that she must be strong from now on."

"Mom!" Yukinoshita, who was in a large position, immediately retorted, "Let me stay here. I'm still young and can hold out a little longer."

The sight of this mother and daughter showing their true love in times of crisis was truly heart-wrenching, though it made Li Wei a little embarrassed.

Hey, hey, hey, the way you guys are acting like you're going through life and death makes me feel like I'm incompetent. Besides, I'm saying this is the best way, it's not like we don't have any other options.

“In that case, we have no other choice.” Li Wei casually pulled out a bundle of bandages: “Twist them into ropes and make them sturdy, then hang the two of you on me.”

Two snow-covered figures: "Huh!?"

……

Since ancient times, armor and weapons have been essential for human combat. The former helps you withstand damage, while the latter helps you increase your damage output.

Using people as weapons is not uncommon. In ancient China, there was a kind of evil weapon called the One-Legged Bronze Man. It is said that during the Three Kingdoms period, when Cao Cao was ambushed in Wancheng, Dian Wei lost his weapon and fought while carrying two people, eventually dying in battle.

But there's really no one who uses a person as armor. After all, the real world isn't a risqué comic, and the idea of ​​using expansion bolts for fixation is simply impossible.

Li Wei and Saeko had tried it together, and the result showed that Li Wei could withstand it, but the bodies of ordinary women could not.

Therefore, a rope is necessary to help secure it.

"Is this all there is to it?" Yoko looked at the three people who had merged in front of her, her face slightly flushed.

At this moment, Li Wei was sandwiched between two large snowflakes, one in front and one behind. The mother and daughter were like two slices of bread in a sandwich, with the boy's legs touching his legs and chests touching his chest. He could feel the warmth and softness on his chest and back. This posture could easily remind people of some unpleasant scenes.

To facilitate movement, the two Yukinoshita were tightly bound with ropes, and their every move was completely controlled by Li Wei, making them look like two puppets.

"Um, isn't it tied a little too tightly? I can't breathe." Yukinoshita, who was of a larger size, tried to move her body, only to find that it only brought her and the boy closer together.

"Yono, don't move around." Because his eldest daughter was moving around, Li Wei also moved a little, and then the oversized Yukinoshita who was pressed against his back moved along with her. The three of them were all twisted together, which looked very strange.

Furthermore, to prevent Li Wei's view from being obstructed as he moved forward, the two snow-covered creatures each rested their heads on Li Wei's shoulders. From a distance, this made it easier to recall words like "flying again and again."

“There’s nothing we can do about it,” Li Wei sighed. “Since everyone thinks it’s inappropriate to stay here, we have no other choice.”

It is only natural for an uncle to help his sister-in-law in her distress. A virtuous person should not be troubled by such trivial matters.

"Then Avi, where should I go?" Yoko looked at the boy who was sandwiched between the two Yukinoshitas, as if he hadn't found his place.

We can't really make her the head, like in some children's cartoons, can we?

"Mom, come here."

Li Wei casually pulled an empty bucket from the warehouse—originally for medical equipment, quite sturdy—and placed it on the ground, gesturing for Yaozi to come in: "I'll carry you."

Something's wrong; Mom ran away.

Chapter 15 I'd do anything for Touma!

Half an hour later, looking at Yoko, who was crying in her arms with Kazusa, Li Wei couldn't help but sigh as he removed the two snow-covered garments that were holding him up.

If Yoko and Kazusa in my own timeline could have such a good relationship, I could relax.

"Thank you, Avi."

Being brought back tied up is embarrassing for anyone who talks about it, so let's just pretend it never happened. The oversized Yukinoshita chose to ignore what had happened before and bowed 90 degrees to express her gratitude.

Of all virtues, filial piety is the most important; judge by intention, not by deeds, for if you judge by deeds, there are no filial sons in poor families. Of all vices, lust is the worst; judge by deeds, not by intention, for if you judge by intention, there are few perfect people in the world.

From that brief encounter, Yukino could feel—it sounds strange, but it's true—the boy beneath her behaved naturally and without any impoliteness. Despite having many opportunities to take advantage, and no one being able to say whether it was intentional or not, he never did.

Having been a seasoned adult who has navigated the complexities of society for many years, she is all too aware of its ugliness.

Given the situation just now, if he made an excessive request, she would have no choice but to agree or be agreed to. She had personally witnessed Li Wei's rampage through the zombie horde.

Her long-standing business acumen immediately kicked in, prompting her to consider how to ensure safety to the greatest extent possible.

Putting aside the fact that Touma's family is well-off, and judging from Li Wei's appearance, he doesn't seem to be the type who lacks money, the only things he can offer are his two daughters.

I don't know what Yang Nai was thinking.

As for the youngest, willful daughter who hasn't grown up, she was immediately excluded from the selection process.

"Don't worry about these things, Aunt Yukinoshita. It's just my duty."

Li Wei didn't take it seriously: "Where might Yukino be now? Let's go find her now."

As soon as the words left her mouth, the enormous Yukinoshita immediately showed an expression that was both grateful and slightly strange.

My youngest daughter probably doesn't know this boy, but he seems to know him very well when he mentions Yukino. Is it just my imagination?

If they knew each other before, then maybe there's a chance.

“She attends the affiliated high school of Fengcheng University and is probably still trapped there.”

It's another high school I've never heard of before, and the location is a bit hard to find.

"Um, I know the way." Despite repeatedly emphasizing that she would not abandon any teammates, Boqi-chan, who was already considering herself insignificant and was busy helping to make food, raised her hand shakily: "That high school is right next to my house. I pass by there every day on my way to school."

"Oh, then why don't you go to school there?" Li Wei asked curiously as he took the food from Little Lonely.

This is fast food cooked with instant food from the convenience store next door. It seems that while they were looking for someone, the girls did not just sit and wait to die.

Judging from the blood-stained heels of Hiratsuka's shoes, she had clearly just cleaned up an area, and these unfamiliar foods must have been found during that process.

“Because the tuition is too expensive, my family can’t afford it…” Pochi-chan suddenly turned pale and knelt on the ground, unable to get up: “I can’t do anything except play the guitar. I can’t help my parents at all. I’m really a useless person. Touma-kun, it’s a complete waste of resources for you to take me along. Otherwise, I’ll just go out and find a place to hang myself right now… Where’s my guitar? I just saw an old pine tree not far away that looked pretty good.”

Are you the reincarnation of Zhu Youjian? Or were you a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll that brings good weather) in your past life? Even Japanese people shouldn't be so prone to suicide, right?

"Don't say such discouraging things. It's already the end of the world. Knowledge is an extremely precious resource, and once it's lost, it might take countless years to recover." Li Wei reached out and pinched the pink-haired girl's head, kneading it into various shapes. "You might be the only person in the world who can play the guitar. Right now, you're carrying the future of the guitar for all of human civilization on your shoulders!"

"Eh eh eh eh eh!!!!" The autistic child had never imagined such a thing.

"How about this, once everything settles down, you play a piece for us, and I can have Kazusa accompany you," Li Wei coaxed. "If that's not enough, Mom can do it too; she's a world-class pianist."

"Really? Really?" A light suddenly appeared in the pink-haired girl's eyes.

“Of course, I never break my promises.” Li Wei smiled and held up his little finger: “We can pinky swear, a gentleman’s word is as good as his bond.”

The most important thing in post-apocalyptic life is faith; without faith, nothing can be accomplished.

Even if it's a stranger, let alone someone you know, you can't just ignore them.

"This child is so easy to please."

Seeing the smile return to the girl's face after the pinky promise, Li Wei couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Even if you asked her to replenish your mana now, she probably wouldn't refuse.

"Draw me a route map." Li Wei pulled a map out of his bag—he'd picked it up at the airport. Luckily, Japan was a place that still used pagers; those things would have been obsolete in other modern countries long ago.

"Yes!" Goto Ichiri was now full of vigor and started looking for a pen, but couldn't find it.

That's right. When escaping, everyone is so busy grabbing weapons and necessities that no one thinks about bringing a pen. Do you expect us to do homework while we're out?

"Uh... It's okay, Touma-kun, I'll draw it for you with my blood!" Little Lonely got all fired up and was about to bite his index finger to write a blood letter on the spot.

"No, no, just tell me the exact location, there's no need to go to all this trouble."

"It's okay, I'd do anything for Touma-kun!"

Goto Ichiri bit his finger and began to scribble and draw on the map.

"Just a simple label is fine. There's no need to write down how many gates, classes, and students the school has, or what each teaching building is for. That would make you anemic."

"It's okay, I'd do anything for Touma-kun!"

Little Lonely wrote furiously, wishing she could write down everything in her mind, just like what Hiratsuka wrote in her book "Zen, Magic and the Art of Motorcycle Driving." If this place weren't too small to fit everything, she could have written herself to the point of exhaustion.

"Please mark your home address as well, so I can bring back Goto's family while I'm at it."

"Really? Then I'll write it in more detail."

"Hey, that's enough. There's no need to include your 3D measurements."
