Zongman: The End of the Universe

Chapter 39 39. Takagi Yuriko

Three modified off-road vehicles led the way, followed closely by military Hummers. As they followed the road, a magnificent manor appeared in front of the road.

As the car gradually approached the gate of the manor, the hearts of the four people in the car, except Liu Yuansheng and Alice, tightened.

Seeing three familiar vehicles approaching, the guard behind the gate immediately opened the iron gate.

The light grey marble avenue leads straight to the European-style castle at the end. On both sides of the avenue are two symmetrical garden altars, and in the center of the altar is a wide pool surrounded by granite, which is three meters wide and sixteen meters long.

Lotus flowers dot the sparkling surface of the pond.

In front of the magnificent and solemn European-style castle is a central square surrounded by grass. A luxurious fountain stands in front of the castle platform, still quietly spraying water just like before the disaster.

At this moment, in front of the fountain, a young woman with elegant clothes and beautiful appearance was standing there gracefully, looking expectantly at the returning vehicles in front.

The woman was about 30 years old, with a dignified and elegant posture, and dressed in a luxurious manner, but she looked sexy and seductive.

The curvaceous body was wrapped in a bright red deep V suspender dress. A large area of ​​smooth skin was exposed to the air, and a pair of plump and round breasts were half exposed under her sexy collarbone. On her swan-like slender neck, a dazzling platinum diamond necklace casually hung in the ravine on her chest.

She wore a white lace outer fabric on the shoulder of the dress, and her long purple hair was casually draped over her shoulders. She had a pair of charming eyes and a hint of smile on her beautiful red lips. Her every move revealed the beauty and charm of a mature lady.

As the four off-road vehicles stopped in front of the square one after another, the escort members got off the vehicles one after another, and Liu Yuansheng and his group also got out of the military Hummer.

Yuriko Takagi frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in her ruby-like eyes. As Murata and Matsumoto got out of the car, the hint of doubt in her eyes turned into an unresolvable anxiety.

She saw no sign of her husband.

Takagi Yuriko was already vaguely aware of something in her heart. Her charming oval face turned pale, her delicate body trembled slightly, and the slender hand in front of her belly clenched secretly, and her sharp fingertips subconsciously poked into her palm.

Even though this woman realized that bad news was coming, she did not show a single trace of feminine weakness on her face. Instead, her pretty face became even colder.

She was waiting for Murata and Matsumoto to come forward to report. She knew that she could not show any helplessness or panic at this moment, and even sadness was not allowed.

Firm, decisive, calm, wise, strong... She must demonstrate all the qualities a leader should have at this moment.

But as a pink figure walked down from an SUV in a daze, her face became dazed.

Murata and Matsumoto looked heavy-hearted and did not dare to look the woman in the eye. The four members of the escort team solemnly carried a stretcher with a figure lying on it from the car to Takagi Yuriko.

The remaining members came behind Liu Yuansheng, and Busujima Saeko and the others just watched from a distance and were not prepared to get close.

Yuriko Takagi stared blankly at the figure covered with white cloth on the stretcher. Her lips moved and she tried to reach out to lift the white cloth covering the figure's head on the stretcher, but her fingertips could not touch it.

The corners of her lips twitched, her body trembled, and a tear slid down her cheek.

"Ma'am...my condolences."

Murata on the side lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

"Ma'am, at least...the eldest lady is back."

Matsumoto looked up at the pitiful Takagi Yuriko standing in front of him, then lowered his head and spoke in a deep voice.

But Takagi Yuriko seemed not to hear anything. She just stared blankly at the figure on the stretcher with a slightly dazed look in her eyes.

despair.

despair.

A sound of footsteps approached slowly, neither hurried nor slow.

Takagi Yuriko withdrew her gaze mournfully, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, her expression instantly regained calm, then she slowly opened her eyes, and her gorgeous crimson eyes looked at the person who came.

A handsome young man with an upright figure. Seeing Liu Yuansheng approaching, Murata and Matsumoto turned around, bowed slightly to Liu Yuansheng, and then spoke in a deep voice:

"General Commander."

Takagi Yuriko's eyes moved slightly, but then returned to her initial indifference.

Liu Yuansheng looked calm, and nodded casually at the two people who bowed. Then he turned his head to look at Takagi Yuriko. Facing Takagi Yuriko's indifferent gaze, he walked up to her slowly and said:

"Liu Yuansheng, a Chinese, is also your daughter's classmate."

Takagi Yuriko's expression suddenly became complicated, the corners of her lips twitched slightly, and she suddenly closed her eyes and smiled bitterly, as if she had no choice but to accept a certain ending, and asked in a sad voice:
"Was it painful...when he left?"

"I think it must have been painful, but he didn't die in a miserable way."

Liu Yuansheng glanced at the burly figure on the stretcher, then calmly turned his gaze to Takagi Yuriko, his tone unmoved:

"Before he died, Takashiro Soichiro handed the guard team to me, so I won't touch you and your daughter."

Liu Yuansheng didn't intend to add anything. He thought that the promise of "not touching the mother and daughter" was enough. He believed that the woman in front of him was smart enough to remain rational in front of her husband's corpse.

Hearing Liu Yuansheng's simple promise, Takashiro Yuriko's tear-stained face suddenly revealed a relieved smile the next second:

"Thanks.

I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, I just lost my composure."

Liu Yuansheng shook his head indifferently, then looked towards the camp on the east side of the manor and asked:
"Mrs. Gao Cheng, how many people are housed in your manor's camp?"

"One hundred and twenty-six."

Takagi Yuriko approached in her red high heels, and a rich and refreshing fragrance immediately hit her face. She explained softly:

"A small number of them are family members of power station and water plant workers, and another part are refugees who were brought back along the way when rescuing the family members of the workers."

Liu Yuansheng raised his eyebrows and looked carefully at the camp in the distance. Of course, he also wanted to distract attention:
"How do you maintain order?"

"Each group of six people lives in a tent. We have not interfered with the management. Currently, most of the refugees believe that this is just an epidemic virus infection, so they are very resistant to the guards."

“How is food rationed?”

Liu Yuansheng continued to ask.

Takagi Yuriko looked at him deeply. The boy in front of her was only about the same age as her daughter, but he was very clear-headed, calm, and focused on the key points in everything...

"The current supply is maintained at one meal a day, and the food in the manor is only enough to last for a week."

Liu Yuansheng nodded silently. It had only been two days since the zombie outbreak, but the Gaocheng family had already gathered so many refugees and even established a basic order structure. This was enough to explain a lot.

But if we continue like this, it will still be a dead end.

Liu Yuansheng's mind suddenly appeared to the crowded hordes of corpses on the road. A trace of gloom flashed through his eyes. He took a deep breath and said softly:

"Please, Madam Gao Cheng, gather all the refugees. I have something to say."

Takashiro Yuriko stared at Liu Yuansheng's young profile, was silent for a moment, and pursed her lips:

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right now."
