A youth story of a passerby at the end of the world

Maybe they'll bring them all in later. With two more elite combat personnel, I feel much more at ease.

After they smashed all the zombies on this side of the open space to death, only those in the distance remained...

"Thump!!!" The door in the distance collapsed; to be precise, the door of the third warehouse collapsed from the inside out.

A tall pile of zombies had been erected on the door. They struggled to climb forward from the bodies of their own kind, and those at the bottom were certainly not dead either.

They scrambled to their feet, ready to knock on the door, but upon seeing this, Sawada instantly waved his hand behind him, signaling the people behind him to stick close to the warehouse door like him, so as not to attract their attention.

"Mimori?" Sawada shouted into the radio, "Is he still alive?"

"Still alive? What's outside?"

"Open the door quickly, I'm outside."

Like a sticker or poster, Sawada pressed his body tightly against the door, his hands also resting on the door frame, in order to reduce the exposed area of ​​his body, hoping that the zombies would be blind.

"..." The same was true for Hachiman Hikigaya, and because of the heavy SAT equipment on Sawada's body, his relatively thin clothes were almost completely covered by Sawada.

I could hear the clanging of things being moved inside the iron gate; they were probably moving something blocking the gate.

Hachiman Hikigaya didn't dare to peek out over there; he didn't want to cause trouble. Sawada even briefly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he vaguely saw zombies walking towards them. Whether they had noticed them or were unconscious, he didn't know.

The door finally opened.

Because it opens inwards, there was no need to worry about making too much noise, so they went straight in.

"How's it outside?" Mimori and Sawada asked, staring at each other.

"It's not good, we need to move immediately. The door to the third warehouse collapsed, and it's full of zombies too," Sawada explained briefly.

"Ookuma and Miyazono are injured." Mimori's face was grim, because two other people had also died, but he didn't say it for fear of affecting morale.

The body should have already turned into a zombie outside; there's no way to get it back.

His leg was bitten, but not broken. The child turned into a zombie was too short, and his thigh was right where his thick pants were.

However, Miyazono, who was helping him, was tackled by the zombie. Although he was rescued in time, his face was scratched by the zombie's fingernails.

Everyone understood what this meant. He was a little out of it, but his hands and mouth were tied up by Mimori.

Big Bear was pulling the door on the other side, far away from everyone else. He finally came back, tumbling and crawling, but he twisted his ankle and couldn't walk. He also bumped his head and broke a corner of it, saying it wasn't caused by a zombie.

They used the bandages here to wrap it up simply, and also applied some medicine for sprains.

"..." Hachiman Hikigaya glanced around the warehouse and noticed that someone was missing.

Sawada was doing the same thing, but he didn't say anything.

Hachiman Hikigaya also saw Kuriyama squatting next to a person whose leg was bandaged.

"..." The two looked at each other, what did they see in each other's eyes?

Eye boogers!

Go to hell!

"I'll carry Miyazono on my back," said the man next to Mimori.

Mimori nodded; at the very least, they wanted to bring Miyazono back—that was their thought.

"Hey kid, why don't you carry the big bear on your back?" Kuriyama beckoned to Hachiman Hikigaya.

"I refuse." With a blank expression, Hachiman Hikigaya planted his baseball bat on the ground, stating the fact: "I'm stronger than you."

In other words, he will be more useful than Kuriyama later. The weak should just obediently carry people. Besides, he is not a member of the Chiba Self-Rescue Committee at all, so why should we listen to him?

Kuriyama was taken aback, then became furious, thinking that none of them were giving him any face.

"Kuriyama, quickly carry the bear on your back, we're leaving." Watanabe got up from the side, took his weapon and walked to the door.

"I'm sorry, Kuriyama-kun," Kuma apologized as he climbed onto Kuriyama's back.

"No, we're all partners."

That's what he said, but his expression wasn't flawless, as Hachiman Hikigaya could see clearly.

Human nature...

"Let's go." Sawada called to the others and walked towards the door.

Right now, Hachiman Hikigaya's mind is filled with Genshin's words; accidents can happen at any time.

I hope there will be an unexpected event.

He tightened his grip on the baseball bat and followed Sawada outside.

Chapter 209: Can you shoot a gun? Can you ride a bicycle?

"Listen carefully, turn left as soon as you exit, and run straight ahead," Sawada instructed. "Don't look back."

Hachiman Hikigaya, standing at the very front closest to Sawada, nodded, but the "don't turn around" part referred to those who couldn't run fast, which he didn't consider included.

"Watanabe and I will cover the rear," Mimori said as he walked over, stating the conclusion they had initially discussed.

Sawada gazed at him and Watanabe, then bowed his head solemnly. "I'm counting on you."

He then looked up and shouted, "Let's go!"

As soon as he stepped out the door, he looked to his right. In addition to the dozen or so zombies right in front of him, dozens more were staggering around, mostly gathered at the entrance of the third warehouse, but there were also many in the second warehouse.

The zombies in front of the door quickly noticed them, letting out hoarse roars as they charged towards them, bringing with them the large group behind them.

Mimori stood at the door and called out, "Run!"

He swung the iron bar forcefully, smashing it down on the oncoming zombie. The blow to the top of its head produced a crisp sound of bone breaking.

"Hey, isn't something bad behind you?" Hachiman Hikigaya walked beside the person carrying the zombie, and the person on his back, infected by the zombie, moved slightly.

"Don't say it's bad!" The man knew it too, and with a bitter smile on his face, he bounced his body, which was sliding down behind him, upwards and ran forward with all his might.

Hachiman Hikigaya easily walked alongside him; the weight of carrying one person was not to be underestimated, as was Kuriyama on the other side.

He looked back and saw a huge swarm of people chasing after them.

So he quickly approached Sawada and asked, "You don't intend to lead them to the exit, do you?"

“No.” Sawada shook his head and quickly contacted his superiors via radio. “Miss Yukinoshita, we are being chased by a large group of zombies.”

Sitting behind Uesugi Genshin, Yukinoshita Haruno checked with Murai again, "How's the situation on your end?"

"They're dismantling the door." This was Murai's reply to Yukinoshita.

"Sawada, lead the zombies towards Murai."

Upon hearing Yukinoshita's instructions, Sawada nodded and then looked at Hachiman Hikigaya, "Let's go lure them away."

"No way?" Hachiman Hikigaya sighed, but still agreed.

Sawada patted him on the shoulder and smiled at him reassuringly. Hachiman Hikigaya only saw that his front teeth were very white. "Where are you from, you Azure Beast?"

The two returned to Mimori and Watanabe and joined them in the battle. Sawada briefly explained Yukinoshita Haruno's instructions to them.

"Mimori, go protect them." Watanabe gave Mimori a push. The path they came from had been cleared, just in case.

"Okay." There was no need for argument. After killing the last zombie in front of him, Mimori ran away without looking back this time.

“I didn’t expect it to be you who stayed behind.” During a break in their battle, Hachiman Hikigaya said to Watanabe.

"Haha, because I feel guilty." Watanabe said with a relaxed smile. Perhaps he really did feel guilty, so he nudged Mimori. He... really isn't good at giving orders.

For him, fighting side by side was much easier; he didn't have to think about anything, he just had to swing his stick forward.

If Hachiman Hikigaya knew his thoughts, he would definitely agree. If possible, he also wanted to focus solely on combat, because every decision he made added pressure to him as the team leader.

"Let's run that way." As Mimori and the others disappeared around the corner, Sawada pointed to the road on the left.

This way, the zombies will only chase after them when they are in sight.

"I'm going to ride my bicycle." Thinking of the bicycle he had ridden there, Hachiman Hikigaya said and hurriedly ran over.

He parked on the side of the road, grabbed the handlebars, pushed forward to get a running start, then jumped onto the bike and pedaled incredibly fast. In less than ten seconds, he bypassed the horde of zombies and caught up with Sawada and Watanabe.

"Don't you have a back seat?" Sawada asked, turning his head to look at the zombie as he raced against it.

"Now people aren't allowed to sit in the back seat, are they?" Hachiman Hikigaya said, but he himself had broken the law.

I used to often let Komachi sit in the back seat when I took her to school.

Basically, if no one sees it, it's not considered illegal.

But if he gets caught, it'll be terrible. How much is the fine again? 2 yen? That's already a month's living expenses for him.

“Ha…, ha…” Sawada gasped for breath, glancing at him sideways and grinning, “Now, the police can’t touch us.”

"Stop talking." Watanabe said to the two men, licking his dry lips. The zombies behind them were tireless, and no one knew how long they could keep chasing them.

Turning around, the zombies surged forward like a tide, instantly blocking the road in the middle section, truly surging forward like water.

A loud "boom" was heard, as if something had been blown up.

Soon after, they received a radio reply from Murai.

"Ammunition found!" The voice on the radio was like heavenly music.

Yukino and Mimori both heard it.

"Let's head over to Murai and the others." Yukinoshita Haruno, sitting in the back seat, patted Uesugi Genshin on the back.

"Ouch." Uesugi Genshin cried out helplessly, "This guy doesn't even know how to be gentle. He's riding over there right now."

There's no turning back now. Initially, we had two choices: ride outwards or ride inwards.

They chose to trust Murai, and so they kept circling around the building and its inhabitants, now like a greedy snake that can't turn back.

"That's good, I can rest assured." Nodding in place where Uesugi Genshin couldn't see, Yukinoshita Haruno said with relief.

The zombies along the way kept joining the pursuit until Uesugi Genshin and his men saw the corpses on the ground, which must have been the work of Murai and his group.

The road is correct.

As I rode forward, I saw heads on the ground, not severed heads, but heads of Self-Defense Force personnel.

I hadn't seen it just now; the camouflage helmet really does a good job of confusing eyes looking in that direction from a distance.

"We're here, we're here." Turning into the underground passage, Uesugi Genshin exhaled heavily and brought the car to a stop.

"You've worked hard~" Yukinoshita patted his shoulder twice, this time very gently.

She jumped out of the car with a whoosh and walked quickly inside without any hindrance.

Meanwhile, Uesugi Genshin's heart was pounding so hard it wouldn't stop.

That's what made him excited; compared to his usual workouts, cycling this time released a lot of adrenaline.

The heart rate and fatigue are not on the same level.

He sniffed, took a few deep breaths, tossed his bicycle aside, and caught up with Yukinoshita Haruno.

"How is it?" The first thing Yukino asked Murai was when she saw him.

"We need to fill the magazines first." Murai didn't stop working with his fingers, and he didn't even look at Yukino Shino. The others also helped fill the magazines, and two members of the airbike brigade carried the filled magazines out.

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't pay much attention, but what did concern her was the person lying next to her. "What's wrong with him?"

"That idiot's homemade bomb never went off. When he went up to check, he got knocked unconscious." Murai's tone was full of helplessness; there are always an unusually large number of idiots in the world.

No! The best outcome is if the bomb explodes; we can't be that demanding.

Because this is a roller shutter door, Murai used to come here often to collect supplies, so he knew it was easy to break through.

Gunshots were already coming from outside; it seemed the zombies chasing them had reached the doorway.

"Is no one using his gun?" Uesugi Genshin asked, pointing to the Self-Defense Force personnel lying on the side.

"Hmm," Murai replied casually.

"Then let me borrow it for a while." With that, Uesugi Genshin started to pull off his clothes.

"?" As if he hadn't heard clearly, Murai looked up. "Do you know how to use it?"

“It’s very simple, isn’t it?” Uesugi Genshin slung the bullet belt over his body. “The zombies outside have already caught up with us.”

"No..." Murai's slightly open mouth remained agape. "Aren't you 17?!"
