Chapter 32 The King of Doomsday Ideas
People can't be saved just because you want to.
There are various reasons why Yi Shanghua and Han Shengjing were able to save the survivors. One is purely from a self-interested perspective, because they can drive. Another is purely from a conscience perspective, because they are the ones who can save the survivors, as Xiao Jia promised to save them. A third reason is that they are characters in "Train to Busan," and are the good guys designated by the script.
Dongyun knew Yi Shanghua and Han Shengjing inside and out, but he had no idea who these people outside were.
Moreover, he had planned to rescue Yi Shanghua and Han Shengjing, ensuring that they would be safe on their way there and back to the motorcycle shop.
But they really couldn't save the people downstairs who were knocking on their doors seeking help.
There are too many zombies on the streets.
For some reason, a lot of zombies appeared on the streets. Whenever they tried to save people, either the zombies blocked the door or they used up Xiao Jia's magic power to kill all the zombies.
These people were screaming and firing guns, creating noises in the quiet night that would attract countless zombies. If Xiao Jia used up too much of her magic power, they might not be able to save Yi Shanghua and Han Shengjing. And who could guarantee that after Xiao Jia killed one wave of zombies, another wave wouldn't come?
What if special infected individuals like Tank or Night Demon appear among these zombies?
It's nighttime now, and if they really encounter a horde of zombies and special infected individuals, and Xiao Jia has exhausted her magic power, then even if they want to run away, it will be difficult for them.
Everyone else just needed to focus on saving people, but as the team leader, he had to consider many other things so that everyone could leave Vikland safely.
The four members of the band reluctantly accepted Shinonome's explanation.
Although we don't know what they were thinking, they all accepted it on the surface.
The person downstairs is dead, but it's not completely quiet outside. For some reason, zombies are constantly banging on the door. Fortunately, the banging is somewhat rhythmic, creating a strange white noise that gradually lulls those who are sleeping to sleep.
However, the sound of the door being banged on was also somewhat unsettling.
I wonder how many zombies will be attracted by the banging on the door tomorrow and gather in front of the motorcycle shop, refusing to leave. I'll have to ask Xiao Jia to lure them away again.
As night fell, the number of zombies outside the motorcycle shop increased.
By daybreak, the front of the motorcycle shop was completely surrounded, and a large number of zombies had gathered on the street.
"many."
When Dongyun woke up in the morning, he rubbed his eyes, pulled back the curtains a little to look outside, and was shocked to see the zombies on the street. He was now fully awake.
Are there many zombies?
Shima Rin also got up and asked in surprise when she heard Shinonome's voice.
"Yes, a lot. They were probably attracted by the gunshots and the sound of doors being rammed last night."
The banging on the door downstairs has stopped, but the zombies that were attracted haven't left.
Unless there are new sounds, the discovery of survivors, or nightfall, they will probably continue to roam this street.
While Shima Rin and Shinonome were talking, the others, including Nadeshiko the pig, gradually woke up.
Staying in bed is a good thing, but Kagamihara Nadeshiko knew this wasn't the time to stay in bed. Even though she still wanted to sleep, she patted her face and tried to get up.
"Alright, everyone's awake and washed up. Listen to me while you eat. I'll tell you my plan and your tasks."
Higashion clapped his hands, pulling Yamada Ryo and Kagamihara Nadeshiko, who were focused on eating, back to reality.
Although Nadeshiko's hair color is more similar to Pochi's, in terms of rice, Nadeshiko is more similar to Ryo.
Wang Dongyun, the mastermind behind the doomsday prophecy, has four main plans.
Plan A: Rescue Yi Shanghua and Han Shengjing; Plan B: Get two intact, crashproof, and durable cars; Plan C: Buy from a supermarket for free and fill the cars without overloading them too much; Plan D: Once everything is ready, he and Lin Jiang will lead the way on motorcycles, Yi Shanghua and Han Shengjing will drive, and the rest of the people, except for Xiao Jia who will ride on his motorcycle, will ride in the cars.
He also has a series of alphabet plans such as EFGHIJ.
However, these plans are backup plans for other plans or special plans to prevent emergencies, and he hopes they won't have to be used if possible.
"Then I'll go lure the zombies."
After finishing breakfast, Gabriel didn't waste any time and prepared to lure the zombies to begin the rescue plan.
"Okay, you go ahead, Rin and I will put on our protective gear."
After saying that, Dongyun stuffed the last half of the compressed biscuit into his mouth and then gulped down bottled water.
He wanted to leave Vikland today to avoid any unforeseen complications, so he wanted to implement the plan as soon as possible.
Under the astonished gazes of the four band members, Gabriel drew back the curtains, opened the window, put on her angel halo, spread her wings, and flew away.
"Alright, you guys get ready too. Put on your protective gear and clear out any zombies that Xiao Jia might not have lured away."
Dongyun stood up and looked at the four girls who had finished their band performance.
The zombie lairs on the streets can probably all be lured away, but the zombies in the alleys are a different story. These zombies are perfect for the End Band to practice on, teaching them melee combat skills. Since their system can teach them how to use firearms and throwables, it should also teach them melee weapons.
Don't ask why, just know that their system is clearly based on Left 4 Dead. There's no reason why they'd know ranged weapons but be completely clueless about melee. Besides, they're all rock girls; even if they can't wield a crowbar or an axe, they should at least know how to play a guitar or bass.
Even without trying, one should possess such talent. (I'm certain)
Before long, Gabriel lured away the zombies on the street, and some zombies hiding in alleys and buildings also followed the zombie army and moved slowly with the angel.
Shinonome and Shima Rin arrived on the first floor.
As soon as they went downstairs, they saw the bloody handprints on the glass door.
"terrible……"
Shima Rin was startled.
This terrible world was something neither the band nor Shima Rin could adapt to.
In fact, Shinonome, Gabriel, and Kagamihara Nadeshiko hadn't adapted either.
"Wow, what a terrifying door!"
Kagamihara Nadeshiko, who followed her downstairs, also witnessed this scene, and goosebumps rose on her skin.
"Yes, it's terrifying."
Dongyun's eyelids twitched as well.
These handprints must have been left by those two people last night.
Suddenly, he felt a pang of regret and guilt, but he immediately shook his head.
Those people came knocking on their door last night, didn't they know they could kill the people in the store? They must have known, but they still did it anyway.
However, if it were him, he would do the same.
After all, it was a helpless situation. In order to survive, with nowhere to escape, one could only transfer one's own risks onto others and pray that they would be willing to take on the burden and save one.
Dongyun let out a breath and didn't dwell on the matter.
He didn't think he had done anything wrong, nor did he think those people had done anything wrong. It's just that many things are decided by one's own self-interest, and many things are understandable in order to survive.
To survive the apocalypse, and to lead everyone to live peacefully and unharmed, he must relinquish unnecessary pity.
Xiao Jia and the others can have it, but he can't.
Chapter 33 My Ideal Self
"Bang!"
The barbell struck the zombie squarely on the head.
Another blow, and the zombie fell.
Nadeshiko Kagamihara swung the barbell again at the zombie that was lying on the ground trying to get up.
The "plop" sound continued to echo in the alley.
In the alley, Kagamihara Nadeshiko is teaching the band how to kill zombies.
"How brutal..."
Upon seeing this scene, Goto Ichiri's pupils dilated in shock.
She simply couldn't imagine that Nadeshiko, who was as energetic and adorable as Kita, would become a completely different person when killing zombies.
He's capable, handsome, and a little intimidating.
No one heard Goto Ichiri's laughter. She stared at Kagamihara Nadeshiko's familiar hair color, as if she were seeing her own fantasy self.
"Are we going to kill zombies like this too?"
Kita Ikuyo unconsciously tightened her grip on the crowbar in her hands.
Yesterday, she finally got used to killing zombies with a gun and accepting those bloody and disgusting scenes. Today, she is actually asked to use a crowbar to kill zombies at close range and come into close contact with those bloody and disgusting scenes.
Why would a high school girl like her have to do something like this?
"Yes."
Ichi Nijika nodded, a slight unease on her face.
She was very worried about the upcoming hands-on experience. She was afraid that she would be so frightened by the zombies rushing at her that she would be completely blank and have no idea what to do.
To comfort Kitan, and also to comfort herself, Ichiji Nijika glanced at Gabriel, who was standing right beside them, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, Gabriel is watching over us, there won't be any danger."
After Gabriel lured the zombies away and then returned, Shinonome didn't immediately call Gabriel and Shima Rin to set off. Instead, he brought the End Band to the alley and had them try to clear out the scattered zombies in the alley.
