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

Nothing unexpected happened after that; he took care of the zombies one by one.

The last one walked out alone, his body tattered and battered, and he didn't seem to be one of the original infected.

Wearing a white jacket and a yellow skirt, it was a woman whose face and part of her throat were missing, and most of her right calf was also gone.

Then they saw him kick the zombie to the ground, then walk around the pillar, with the zombie crawling on the ground in pursuit, but he quietly circled around to the back of the zombie.

Then I saw him lean against the corner, throw the baseball bat in his hand, and make a crisp sound on the ground. The zombie turned on the ground and crawled towards the sound.

During this time, he took off the clothes of a person on the ground, walked slowly over, and put them on the head of a zombie struggling to get up. The zombie turned around to grab them, but he dodged to the side.

He toyed with the hooded zombie like this, tapping it on the left and it moved to the left, tapping it on the right and it moved to the right.

Uzuki suddenly felt something was absurd; those monsters didn't seem so scary anymore.

As he finally stood quietly before the now-restless monster, the monster seemed oblivious, merely swaying its body instinctively to maintain its balance.

He then removed another person's clothes, which were stained with blood. He held the clothes close to the monster's face, and the monster became somewhat agitated again, but looked like a donkey with a carrot tied to it.

Finally, as if he had "gotten tired of playing," he picked up the baseball bat from a distance, and the slightest sound it made drew it closer... He raised the baseball bat high and executed it.

"..." To be honest, the five of them didn't dare to make a sound, just like when they first hid in the car, trying their best to lie down and not be discovered.

Even a normal modern person would be surprised by this sight, because such relaxed behavior and calm expression are not something an ordinary person could do.

Just in case, let's say just in case, this person is some kind of dangerous individual. They might look like a decadent otaku who plays video games in their room, but in reality, they could be a suspected criminal who has just escaped from the detention center!

She's too lazy to even take care of her hair, and it's not a big deal if she's a little bit psychologically dark and twisted, but the key is that she's so strong!

He looked around as if to check if there were any remnants, then took off the clothes of one of the people on the ground, wiped the baseball bat in his hand, and then walked to the jeep and looked at their car.

"!!!"

Don't see! Don't see!

They lowered their bodies even further, hoping not to be discovered.

Having already sensed the possibility of someone being there, Uesugi Genshin noticed a dark figure suddenly moving inside a car in the distance.

It's confirmed now... there really is someone there.

This silent movement is undoubtedly human, a living person. If it were a zombie, it would probably keep smashing the car door or glass trying to get out.

Since the other party is unwilling to contact him, he shouldn't bother to get close either. It's best to keep to himself and get back to Chiba as soon as possible.

He placed the baseball bat on the hood of the car, opened the Wrangler's door, took out a lunchbox, and then sat on the hood to eat dinner.

The reason for sitting at the front of the car is because it offers the best view, and the reason for not eating inside the car is to avoid making a mess.

Even he found his own over-the-top caution laughable. When will he stop being like this? Probably when he accidentally gets it dirty.

Looking at the box label, it says Chicken Nanban Bento, a rice bowl made with fried chicken marinated with scallions, onions, chili peppers, etc.

Aside from being a bit cold, Uesugi Genshin complained inwardly as he kept chewing on it.

Steaming hot food is the main source of its aroma, color, and flavor. Cold food loses its aroma. However, when you put it in your mouth, the pickling method is surprisingly good, allowing you to taste the flavor of the seasonings.

He kept shoveling food into his hands, moving very quickly. He didn't want to stay there for even a moment longer; the pressure was building up.

I used my chopsticks to gather the last grains of rice soaked in the oily broth, ate them, and dinner was finished.

He casually put the lid back on, jumped off the front of the car, and gently placed the empty lunchbox aside.

As for throwing it in the trash can? What trash can?

Just then, the sound of the car door opening came from inside. Uesugi Genshin turned his head and saw a girl dressed in a rather flamboyant style. This must be Tokyo fashion.

She had flaxen hair and equally black eyes, wore a red and black outfit, and boots that almost reached her knees. A leg ring encircled her fair thigh, and she even wore a collar around her neck. The fabric strap under the collar passed through the middle of her chest. She had a good figure and a sweet face, and was probably a high school student.

"that......"

Ah... speaking of which, I saw a sign outside earlier that said there was a performance today, and some of the zombies lying on the ground were wearing suits with "LOVE" printed on them. I was wondering what was going on.

No wonder there were so many zombies. If I had known... I wouldn't have come down.

"What's wrong?" Uesugi Genshin didn't stop moving; he was about to get into the car and leave.

"Excuse me, could you please help me?"

Chapter Twenty-Three: What was it called again, ah~ Pink Palette?

"What help?"

Uesugi Genshin stopped gripping the handlebars and turned to look at the girl.

"Huh? Um, can you take me away from here?"

"Okay, I plan to go back to Chiba. If there are no objections, I'll take you with me. I won't send you home. Let's make that clear in advance."

If someone asks for help, one should definitely help if it is within one's ability. This is a person's basic conscience, even if at this moment one still retains the values ​​from the period of moral education.

He was human, that's why he chose to help, but just in case, he mentioned it a little more.

At this point, just being able to survive is already a blessing. If there are any demands beyond that, then he has to choose whether to listen or not.

"Ah..." The other person's mouth was slightly open, and they remained silent for a long time.

Uesugi Genshin looked at her, who had been silent for a while and seemed a little dazed, and gradually became somewhat disdainful.

"If it doesn't work, then forget it." He then opened the car door.

"Wait, okay, but where to go?"

"I want to go to Chiba Soubu High School, my school."

"Huh? Is this older brother still in school?" He couldn't bring himself to say "sir" or "uncle" after mentioning that he was going back to high school, so he just called him "ni-san".

Although calling him "uncle" was indeed a bit outrageous, she made that conclusion based on his height, which was basically taller than the average boy in her school.

His height was far above average, and although he was wearing a uniform, he was quite deceptive. I initially thought he was a college student, but in the end, I chose a title that was still quite appropriate.

"Ah."

"Do we really have to go to Chiba?"

"We can drop you off at a safe place on the road."

It's just a side thing; to put it simply, pulling over and dropping someone off is very convenient.

"I see..." She placed her index finger on her lips with a subtle gesture.

"what happened?"

"No, it's nothing. Sir, is it really okay for you to get off the bus anytime?"

Uesugi Genshin tilted his head, feeling somewhat bewildered.

"That's right, if it's on the way, you can get off wherever you want along the way, but I won't bother taking a detour, since I don't know you."

The questions were somewhat trivial, with repeated details, indicating that the pretty young woman in front of him didn't really trust him.

Since there was nothing urgent at the moment, and the girl in front of him gave him a fairly good impression, she wasn't the type who seemed domineering and arrogant at first glance.

"...the route..."

"I will try to avoid the downtown area, and if possible, it would be best to walk around the sea."

She then tentatively asked, "What about the payment?"

"Do you think it would still make sense to give me money now?"

"Haha, yeah."

"If we keep going all the way to Chiba..."

"You can stay with the high school students there; it's relatively safe over there."

"His name is Zongwu Gao, right?"

Chiba Municipal Sobu High School.

"Brother, are you a student? Don't you have a driver's license?" This was what she was curious about.

"Back in my hometown, I used to drive to help my parents with farm work. They don't care about driving there, so I'm fairly good at it."

"Oh, I see. And you were really impressive just now, taking down all those things in no time."

"I studied at a kendo dojo in my hometown."

"Oh I got it."

Seeing that she couldn't get any more information, Uesugi Genshin said, "If you're done asking, get in the car."

He was about to go up when he heard her say, "Um..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

His tone remained gentle, but it was clear that he was about to lose patience. One of the reasons Uesugi Genshin continued listening was because he didn't directly say, "I don't trust you."

Or perhaps it's true that he didn't care. He was just a passerby, doing something on the spur of the moment. His motivation was the self-satisfaction of doing a good deed on his way back. He finished his meal in three to five minutes, and he was sure he could get back before dark.

"I have a few more people here, is that okay?"

"Hmm? Oh, sure, no problem." As long as they don't cause trouble, anything is fine.

"Thank you very much. My name is Hirokawa Uzuki."

"Uesugi Genshin."

Hirokawa Uzuki returned to the car he knew was occupied, leaned inside and said something. He assumed she was alone, but to his surprise, several other people got out of the car afterward.

The first one to come down was a girl with a very good figure, who was not in the same league as Hirokawa Uzuki.

With her long, wavy brown hair, silver cross earrings, sleeveless plaid shirt, and white pencil skirt that perfectly accentuated her figure, she sported a strikingly sexy makeup look.

Wearing only high-heeled shoes, the harmonious lines of her long legs were clearly visible, but what was most eye-catching was probably the heart-shaped leg ring on her thigh.

"Thank you very much." She bowed and expressed her gratitude. She had heard everything clearly in the car, including Uzuki's repeated questions. In another setting, she would have been so embarrassed that she would have scratched her toes on the floor.

"Ah."

Then another girl with short, light brown hair got off the bus. She wore a white tube top, a black leather jacket and shorts, a long-sleeved shirt tied around her waist, a star-shaped earring in her left ear, and a leg ring on one leg.

This made Uesugi Genshin mutter to himself, "The fashion designer's quirks."

She also said thank you, and was more reliable than Hirokawa Uzuki, who seemed a bit naive and tactful.

Then another girl got out of the car. She was blonde with a single ponytail, striking blue eyes, and dressed in a glamorous and youthful hot girl style. But... where had he seen this girl before?

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

He didn't pay much attention to the last person who came down, a petite and cute girl with bangs, a fluffy high ponytail, and tiger teeth.

"Um... Mr. Uesugi?" the short-haired girl asked, puzzled.

His silent stare made the girls uneasy; the somber look in his eye, coupled with the bloody violence just moments before, made the silence seem odd.

“No, wait, I think I remember you.” Uesugi Genshin continued to stare at the stylish blonde girl.

"Huh?" She herself was a little confused and almost mistook it for a bad flirtation.

"Haha, we're an idol group. You must have seen this guy on TV somewhere," Hirokawa Uzuki explained.

"No, no, that's not right."

“I really don’t know you,” the blonde girl denied, her staring intently at his face.

"Hmm..." Uesugi Genshin felt that the thing he hadn't remembered must be very important.

The person you're meeting is actually the villain in the story, a deranged serial killer, yet you're foolishly following him around. Is something wrong? Something terrible could happen!

The more he tried to remember, the less he could recall it. Even he wondered if it was just his imagination.

The silence sent a chill down the girls' spines again in this underground parking lot littered with corpses.

Upon closer inspection, her beautiful blonde hair resembles that of a hostess in some places. Her single ponytail hairstyle is high-quality and glamorous, and coupled with her flawless makeup around her eyes, she looks very fashionable.

She is less than 1.6 meters tall, which is average for a girl here, but her figure is very well-proportioned, giving her the kind of figure that most girls would envy.

Of course, from a man's point of view, she might seem a little too thin, but she doesn't have that delicate and frail vibe. I wonder if she exercises regularly. It's not just about being "thin." You can tell she's very healthy from the toned and perfectly proportioned legs she's wearing under her short skirt and black stockings.

However, even though she was very beautiful, it wasn't to the point of love at first sight. At most, it was lust at first sight. Uesugi Genshin didn't think he would look at a beautiful girl differently or have any impression of her.

Therefore, there must be some unusual aspect about her that made him remember her.

what is it then?
