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

At this stage, no one is mentally prepared to kill zombies, because maybe "they" can still be saved, or maybe the situation is not so bad. If the government intervenes immediately, how can they continue to survive in school with blood on their hands?

Look! That's so-and-so who has killed "people." Just being gossiped about like this is enough to make one feel despair. Just imagining this future would make anyone have reservations, and that's their excuse for not having the courage.

"See? You clearly lack both the resolve and the talent, yet you just stammer and agree with ideas that haven't been thought through at all. Is this what your follower is like, Hayato Hayama?"

"No, they are not mine..."

“I’m going with Hayama.” Hachiman Hikigaya interrupted the conversation. He thought Komachi must be hungry too. She had been acting cheerful and not worried at all along the way. Eating something would probably make her feel much better. Kawasaki was the same.

Food for the next day or two is a problem that must be solved while staying here; the rest can be considered after the other combatant arrives.

"Ah, Hiratsuka-sensei and Hikigaya, you're back!" Shiromaru, who had been sitting to the side without saying a word, exclaimed in surprise.

"Hiratsuka-sensei," Yukino Yukinoshita greeted politely.

"Oh, Yukinoshita and Hayama, what are you discussing?" Hiratsuka Shizuka had a pretty good idea, but still asked knowingly.

"Hiratsuka-sensei, we'd like to go to the cafeteria next door to see if there's anything we can offer for everyone to eat, so that everyone can cheer up," Hayama Hayato explained, spreading his hands.

Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded. "Indeed, it's dinner time now, and everyone's stomachs must be growling."

"Hiratsuka-sensei, did you just agree to Hayama's stupid idea so hastily?" Yukino Yukinoshita angrily tossed her long hair.

“No, Yukinoshita’s consideration is also correct. If there is a problem with the cafeteria, and we provoke them, the panicked number of people will become a disadvantage.” Hiratsuka Shizuka then turned to Yukinoshita Yukino and said.

"Just like Hachiman said, let him, Hayama and I go and take a look. If the three of us encounter danger, we won't be in any trouble."

Yukino Yukinoshita then looked at Hachiman Hikigaya behind Shizuka Hiratsuka, staring at him with eyes that seemed to ask: Where is the other person?

Don't look at me...

He tentatively explained, "Uesugi Genshin met someone he needed to help on the way, and it seems he's heading to Kanagawa. He won't be back today."

"You didn't run away, did you?" Her tone was flat, or rather cold and distrustful, indicating that the troubles here had somewhat affected her mood.

Hachiman Hikigaya added, "At least I have some confidence in him."

"I'm sorry, but in my eyes you and that Uesugi are the same."

My credit rating is zero... Hey.

"So, where are you? At home?" Aren't your parents supposed to pick you up?

"I'm fine with anything. I've already told them I'm safe here, so they don't need to worry."

"Is that so..." he replied softly, then looked away.

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded and confirmed, "Then let's do as Hiratsuka-sensei said. Hiratsuka-sensei, Hachiman, and Hayama, go to the cafeteria next door and see how things are going."

"Oh." Hachiman Hikigaya casually replied to Yukino Yukinoshita, who was still considered his club president, and tugged at the collar of his school uniform.

He looked at Shiromaru, who was grinning foolishly beside him. The soft-spoken student council president with double braids was completely sidelined.

But what if I have to face those guys again? That's such a hassle.

Chapter 27: Do you know Makinohara Shoko?

The Wrangler continued along the coastline, passing by Shichirigahama Station, where Minegahara High School is located.

The station was quiet, except for a few figures moving around inside. Were they human? I couldn't help but wonder.

If you open the window, you can smell the ocean breeze; this is a place by the sea.

Judging solely from the colors, Fengyuan High School does look better, with its landscaping being very well done.

Green moss can be seen clinging to the stones by the roadside, and there are many trees in the distance. In summer, one can probably hear the chirping of cicadas.

In this respect, Zongwu High School's land area is somewhat cramped, with almost no space for plants on campus, even though it is next to a spacious seaside park.

"Is this Minebara High School?" Hirokawa Uzuki, sitting next to her, had the clearest view.

"Right, it's also Mai-san's school."

"My sister's school," Kaori Toyohama murmured from the back seat. Her own school was in Yokohama, a prestigious girls' school where students still wore traditional sailor uniforms.

"Let's drive in first and see what the situation is like inside the school, whether there are any students still alive." As he spoke, he sighed, "If only parking were easy."

He was worried about parking in densely packed areas, and he really didn't want to crash into them, as it would damage the car.

There's an uphill slope leading into the school, and the school gate is located here—a white sliding door, currently half-open, and on the road...

"......Ah."

It wasn't that simple after all.

The uphill slope was a bit narrow, just wide enough for two cars to drive side by side. And if you looked at those student-like zombies slowly walking down the slope, it was a bit unsettling.

Should we stop and clear the way, or step on the gas and drive through?

"What should we do, brother?" Hirokawa Uzuki asked worriedly.

"No, it's too late."

As if they could see that there were living people in the car, the zombies sped up. The speed was between walking and jogging. The first group of infected people were unharmed, with no damage to their muscles, tissues, or nerves, so they were able to rush over at this speed and maintain their balance very well.

Uesugi Genshin accelerated steadily, using the most appropriate force to send it flying forward, rather than smashing it backward against the car window.

"Duang"

The zombie was wearing a brown suit-style school uniform; it was indeed a student here.

However, he used to want to complain about the fact that the women's suit-style dress was paired with a pleated skirt, but now he's completely used to it.

Feng Bin and Xiang sat in the middle of the back seat, pursing their lips as they watched the zombies in front of the car being hit, and the car lurching forward.

Is your sister alright now?

Ever since she was a child, when her father took her to meet this amazing older sister, she had always dreamed of becoming someone like her.

As for Nakago Ranko, she had already grabbed the handle on the left side, while on the far right, Anno Yae not only grabbed the handle but also protected Okazaki Hotaru, who was right next to her.

After the collision, Uesugi Genshin ran over it without hesitation, perhaps breaking bones. Whether the injury was fatal is unknown, but at least the broken bones would restrict their movement afterward.

As they walked uphill and entered the campus, the zombies that filled the campus began to turn their attention to them as the sound rang out.

"Isn't this a bit too much?" Hirokawa Uzuki clearly hadn't seen what Toyonosaki was like, which is why she said that.

"This number is alright; they should all be inside the buildings. Hopefully, they won't be attracted here."

The Wrangler's powerful horsepower also brought increased noise, making the sound somewhat jarring in the empty campus.

Every time the car swerved to avoid the zombies, it inevitably made a lot of noise.

I walked around the buildings inside Fengyuan High School. The teaching buildings were all destroyed. There was no movement inside, or rather, it was all the movement of zombies.

Then there's the canteen, auditorium, warehouse, some kind of club area, and we're almost at the playground.

As he was about to pass another rather tall building, he saw a zombie knocking on the building's door, and the sound was attracting other zombies around.

"..."

someone.

They probably heard the car and wanted to check the situation, but accidentally startled the zombies outside.

If things continue like this, the surrounding zombies will be attracted by the initial sound of banging on the door, and then they will all bang on the door together.

He can't just leave like this; this situation is most likely his doing, and he also needs to search for Mai Sakurajima's whereabouts.

"Stay in the car, I'll go down and clean up," Uesugi Genshin instructed the five people in the car.

"Ah."

"understood."

"Go ahead, brother."

"Be careful."

"be careful."

As soon as I opened the car door, a little cutie pounced on me, and I thrust a baseball bat straight at its face, instantly knocking it to the ground.

It's silly; from an outsider's perspective, it's like running into a weapon that was pre-set in place.

Uesugi Genshin stepped forward, delivered the finishing blow, and killed him.

When they go on a killing spree, the skills they used to use to kill are revived.

A powerful, decisive blow knocks the creature down, the crisp sound of the impact revealing that its brain has been shattered—this is the advantage of using a blunt weapon.

In an instant, six more zombies came into view, pounced on him as soon as they saw him.

There were two men and four women, none of whom had any obvious injuries, but their lunging movements had a perverted feel to them, which was extremely frightening.

"Don't be so enthusiastic, really," Uesugi Genshin jokingly complained, holding the stick in both hands.

Utilize the varying distances to quickly eliminate the closest zombies, then charge forward to increase the distance between yourself and the zombies behind you, while simultaneously closing in on the one in front of you.

The essence of combat lies in always creating a one-on-one situation; fighting against overwhelming odds is always a major taboo.

The momentum of the forward charge increased the inertia of the swing, and with an upward strike, it hit the lower jaw squarely, causing its teeth to shatter and scatter on the ground, bloody and sticky. Then, a heavy downward strike finished it off.

He swung his baseball bat from behind, slicing left to knock away one of the closest ones, then slicing right to knock away another.

Then he stepped forward and stomped on its solid sternum to deliver the final blow. This girl, who must have had a lot in common with Saitama in her previous life, was now dead.

He used a stick in one hand to fling away another zombie that lunged at him. Another zombie, lying on the ground, tried to crawl over, but he swung it down with his right hand, shattering its skull.

Holding the staff in both hands again, assuming a mid-level stance, he slid forward and unleashed a left and right kesa slash. Within 0.5 seconds, two consecutive "bang bang" sounds rang out, cleanly and decisively taking down the last two blades that were pouncing from the left and right.

Then there are the zombies surrounding the building. They probably won't stop until they break down the door; it depends on their intelligence.

Uesugi Genshin wasn't sure whether they truly only possessed basic instincts or retained some animalistic intelligence.

If no one is in front of it, will it continue to smash the objects in front of it and do useless work?

He glanced around and saw a group of cars following in the distance, echoing the noise of the car that had just been there.

First, the few that were banging on the door were easily executed, like iron ingots being hammered on an anvil. Blood splattered on the door, and a blood-stained landscape painting was completed.

After that, you just stand there and wait for the group of zombies running towards you from a distance. If you go over there, you might attract zombies that have gathered from further away by the sound.

He looked through the door into a stadium. He couldn't see anyone nearby; something was blocking the door. He could see a large group of people in the distance, who were probably using this place as a refuge.

It seems we've managed to find Mai Sakurajima.

He turned back and easily killed the few that were approaching, then gave an "OK" sign to the people in the car.

Hirokawa Uzuki, inside the car, nodded happily, while Anno Yae, by the window, smiled and made an "OK" gesture.

The stadium has more than one entrance; he looked around and found that every entrance was blocked, so it seems there's more than one.

He walked to a window, where one of his brothers was looking anxiously toward the door.

"Knock knock," Uesugi Genshin knocked on the glass. "Hey~"

The boy turned around and saw a boy with an unusual samurai hairstyle standing by the window. "Aaaaaah!!!"

He was genuinely startled; the subtle expression on the man's face made him realize what he was yelling about!

"There's someone outside!" he shouted to the person inside.

"Really?" People nearby saw it immediately.

"Where are the zombies outside?"

"Is it safe?"

A boy wearing glasses walked over and asked Uesugi Genshin through the window, "What's going on outside?"

Uesugi Genshin raised his hand and shook the blood-stained baseball bat. "I've taken care of them all."

"Ah..." The boy was a little confused. Who was this amazing person? He solved everything.

"Could you open the door?" Uesugi Genshin asked, adopting a conciliatory tone.

"Um, if it's safe... is it really safe?" the boy asked hesitantly.

“Yes, that’s why I’m standing here,” Uesugi Genshin replied unhurriedly, giving the impression that he was in no hurry and therefore truly safe.

"Was that the car you just heard driving in?"

"Yes, I'm here to find someone."

“I see.” He nodded. “I understand. I’ll open the door on the east side over there. You can come in from there.”
