Madam, I like you.

　"What should I do? Should I get off and walk? It's rare that I picked out a pair of good shoes at the shopping mall, and I really don't want to get them dirty. So... if I want to get off and walk, please trouble Kong to carry me there." Shizuka Marikawa, who was acting as the driver, turned around and asked Mo Yankong for his opinion, her charming and beautiful face full of difficulty.

　Shizuka Marikawa is obviously the oldest among everyone and is also Fujimi Xieyuan's teacher, but her unreliability is completely the opposite.

　The twin-tailed girl, Takagi Saya, chuckled smugly, her tone calm and gloating as she said, "There's no other modified Hummer this good in the city. It's all because of someone's arbitrary decision."

　"That's right, it's a pity to leave this thing here." Mo Yankong said casually.

　As they were talking, they saw Mo Yankong open the car door, and the river water poured into the car, rising to the ankle level.

　Mo Yankong shouted from outside: "Everyone, fasten your seat belts."

　Saya Takagi leaned against the car window and asked in confusion: "What are you going to do?"

　"Saya, a famous person once said that the more you scheme, the more you realize that human power is limited. Only by surpassing humanity can you break through human limitations."

　"What do you want to say?"

　Mo Yankong gave her a look and said, "I'm not human, so don't impose your normal way of thinking on me. We really can't hire a crane right now. So I had to move the car over myself."

　"Move it over there... are you kidding me? A regular Hummer weighs close to

　2 tons. It wouldn't be surprising if this military-modified Hummer weighed 3 tons. Besides, this is a riverbed with soft soil. Even if you're a vampire..." Takagi Saya's voice faded as she explained the situation to everyone, her mouth opening into an O shape. She could feel the modified Hummer beneath her feet being lifted up by something.

　Startled and panicked, she grabbed her seat belt and saw that the scenery outside was much higher than the river.

　Mo Yankong held onto the chassis of the modified Hummer and walked forward in the center of the river. He looked so relaxed as if this military-modified Hummer was just a balloon with only good looks.

　Wherever Mo Yankong passed, the river water within a radius of several meters centered on his legs quickly froze into ice. The ice did not float down the river, but was tightly bonded to the mud on the riverbed.

　Since the riverbed is soft, let it freeze into ice to support the weight of the Hummer.

　"I'm surprised that a vampire's body can be used to this extent. Then I'll go to the other side and sweep it first." Dokujima's eyes moved, and he jumped onto the ice made by Mo Yankong. After a few leaps, he reached the other side of the river, drew out the demon sword Kitetsu, and cleared out the zombies nearby.

　The Ripple Messenger can use the power of ripples to walk on the water. The essence of the power possessed by vampires is consistent with the ripples used by the Ripple Messenger. The two are interdependent. The vaporization freezing method used by Mo Yankong now is just a crude means of application created by Dio based on the ripples.

　1

　Ripple is still the nemesis of the Pillar Man, but after the Pillar Man Katz became the ultimate life form, he could easily use Ripple with a temperature close to that of the surface of the sun. This also shows that these two abilities will eventually go their separate ways.

　The zombies in this world posed no threat to Mo Yankong. Given this, Mo Yankong had plenty of time to test the limits of the vampire's abilities.

　Carrying the giant steel beast to the other side of the river, Mo Yankong put down the Hummer. Saya Takagi in the car was completely speechless. She used to think that so-called vampires were just creatures with a slightly better physique than ordinary people.

　But he could easily lift a 3-ton modified Hummer and walk across the river like it was flat ground? He also left behind a large amount of ice that could only be created by magic. This vampire Mo Yankong had completely changed her worldview.

　The innocent school doctor, Shizuka Marikawa, was not at all surprised by Mo Yankong's actions. She turned her head and asked Saya Takagi, "Takagi-san, which direction are we going next?"

　"Direction... Oh, right, I'm going to find my parents. On the right, from the center, it merges into the city's commercial street. There are a lot of people in that place, so there should be a lot of zombies... Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything." Takagi Saya came back to her senses and was speechless.

　The group just happened to see Busujima Yako sheathing her katana and heading over, leaving behind the corpses of dozens of zombies.

　No matter how many zombies come, in the eyes of Dudao Yazi and Mo Yankong, they are no different from being served food.

　Saya Takagi's eyes flickered as she seemed to be thinking about something. With such a powerful force, she would definitely be able to protect herself even in this chaotic world and do things that ordinary people could not do.

　Saya Takagi thought of her parents. She respected her parents very much, but she also felt inferior because of her family's excellence. Her mother was once a well-known super businessman on Wall Street, and her father was the chairman of the Patriotic Isshin Society. In comparison, her so-called title of genius was like child's play.

　Saya Takagi's dream has always been to surpass her parents and achieve something that they have never achieved.

　Takagi Saya looked at Busujima Yako with a glint of envy she wasn't even aware of. If she could possess this kind of power, she would be much closer to her parents, who she considered unattainable.

　"Everyone come up, it's time to set off!" Shizuka Marikawa seemed to be in a good mood, probably because she didn't have to get her favorite brand-name shoes dirty.

　The modified Hummer rushed onto the road, crushed several zombies and entered the town. According to Saya Takagi's instructions, it bypassed many obstacles along the way, such as hills of abandoned cars, concrete walls, or isolation nets made of alloy steel wire as thick as fingers.

　Only one day had passed since the virus broke out, and the defensive fortifications had already reached this level. The Takagi family's disaster response capabilities can indeed be called excellent.

　The Hummer was not driving fast, and Dudao Yazi was shuttling between the rooftops, directing the Hummer from a high place, telling him which roads were surrounded by zombies and which were blocked by roadblocks.

　More than ten minutes later, Mo Yankong and his group finally met a living person.

　The street was blocked by a several-meter-high pulley fence, and many zombie corpses lay on the ground. On the other side of the fence, a male guard saw Saya Takagi sitting in the passenger seat of a Hummer and was instantly excited. He came over and asked in disbelief, "Miss, is that you? You're back safely!"

　Takagi Saya poked her head out and waved in surprise, "Uncle Kawahara, it's me. Thanks to the help of these friends, I was able to come back. Where are my parents?"

　Hearing Takagi Saya mention her father, the male guard's eyes dimmed at first, and he forced a smile and replied, "Mrs. Takagi is still directing the engineers at the power station. As for the commander-in-chief..."

　"What happened to Dad?"

　The male guard waved his hand and replied vaguely, "I'll go inform Madam Gaocheng. You should get in before the monsters surround this place. They're very sensitive to sound."

　The male guard looked around vigilantly, confirmed that there were no zombies nearby, and then opened the pulley gate.

　Author's message:

　Highschool of the Dead volume is almost over.

　The next dungeon was originally considered to be Kabuto no Fortress.

　I recently rewatched Parasyte and felt that

　There are also many things that can be explored, and the death of the supporting actress Kana also makes me feel very sorry.

　Come to think of it, the classroom that is in a sense the final boss is also my wife's.

　Cough cough cough, okay okay, just kidding, I don’t have such a strong taste.

　Chapter 37: Mother and Daughter Meet

　From a distance, Takagi Saya saw a noble lady in a dark red evening dress walking slowly towards her, with her hands wrapped in tulle. She looked graceful and noble. Her legs were well-proportioned and slender under the high-slit dress. She was wearing a holster with a pistol on it, which added a bit of heroic spirit to her appearance.

　Behind the lady, there were four guards holding samurai swords. They stood tall and straight, with stern and straight eyes. It was obvious that they were not ordinary people.

　Takagi Saya's face lit up with joy, and she couldn't wait to trot over and whisper, "Mom..."

　However, Yuriko Takagi passed by Saya Takagi and never looked at her from beginning to end.

　"Mother?"

　Takagi Saya stood there in a daze, not welcoming the warm embrace as expected, not even meeting Yuriko's gaze. From the very beginning, Takagi Yuriko's gaze was locked on the person behind her, or more precisely, on someone behind her.

　"She is..." Beside Mo Yankong, Dokujima Yako showed a look of surprise, recognizing that Takagi Yuriko was the woman who followed Mo Yankong in Futian Building.

　At that time, Busujima Yaji was not interested in Takagi Yuriko's identity. His consciousness was swallowed by the demon sword Kidetsu and the violent impulse in his heart. His only thought was to kill Mo Yankong or be killed by Mo Yankong to satisfy this impulse.

　Takashiro Yuriko, wearing a light veil, walked to Mo Yankong's side, bowed her head humbly, and said solemnly, "Thank you for your hard work. I have prepared a guest room for you, you can move in any time. I have compiled a document report on the base, you can check it out at any time."

　Now, even the guards behind Takagi Yuriko were shocked. They knew very well the identity of the woman in front of them. She was the wife of the president of the Yuguo Yishin Society, and now she had taken over her husband's job to manage the survivor base.

　His status and power were extremely noble both before and after the disaster, but now he is greeting a person who looks like a young boy?

　Mo Yankong nodded, glanced at the back of Takagi Saya who was standing there in a daze, and followed Takagi Yuriko to the mansion without explaining anything.

　"Eh..." Feeling that the atmosphere was not right, Shizuka Marikawa hesitated and glanced at Saya Takagi's back, then followed Mo Yankong into the mansion.

　Saya Takagi stood there for a long time, clenching her fists, wiping away the tears in her eyes, her eyes flashing with indignation and confusion.

　"Sora and Mom know each other..."

　"No, that wasn't my mother..."

　Mo Yankong once told Takagi Saya the importance of observation. Just now, when Takagi Saya was ignored, she immediately sensed the sense of disharmony coming from her mother Takagi Yuriko.

　At first glance, he looked no different than before, but in reality, he exuded a coldness that kept strangers away. This didn't diminish even towards his own daughter.

　There are also Yuriko Takagi's eyes. Saya Takagi is sure that her mother's pupils are not that dark, they are blood red.

　The same eye color as Mo Yankong, Dokujima Yazi, and even Hirano Toda.

　-

　Yuriko Takagi handed Mo Yankong a report on the Takagi family survivor base, which recorded in detail all the survivors, guards, resources and current status of the Takagi family survivor base.

　After only one day back, Takagi Yuriko used her strong woman skills to completely take over the survivor base. Originally, she was the wife of the president of the Patriotic Isshin Society, so it was only right for her to take over the job in place of her husband.

　Mo Yankong was not very interested in the current situation of the survivor base. This survivor base was only for completing the mission and serving as his temporary stay for the next twenty days.

　If you can live comfortably, then live as comfortably as possible. You can’t and won’t force it.

　"I've already ordered defenses for the EMP electromagnetic pulse you mentioned. We're using vacuum copper tubes to protect the more important power station facilities. However, we can't get more copper products right now, so we're forced to hide some facilities underground. If we know the exact time of the nuclear bomb's detonation, we can shut off all electrical power at that time to further minimize the damage. Of course, we've also ordered the construction of defensive fortifications in case of a power outage."

　Mo Yankong sat on the sofa, thought for a moment and said, "When will the nuclear bomb explode? Probably tomorrow evening. It's up to you to decide. I won't stay here for long. You are still the master of this place."

　"You even know the time of the explosion..."

　Mo Yankong glanced at her and said with a half-smile, "Compared to this, what happened just now is not the attitude a mother should have towards her daughter who has escaped danger."

　Takagi Yuriko's expression remained calm as she humbly replied, "Before I was a mother, I was your dependent. I felt that welcoming you was more important than taking care of Saya. Are you dissatisfied with my actions?"

　Mo Yankong stood up and walked behind Takashiro Yuriko. He placed his hands on her snow-white shoulders and said slowly, "You are very smart, but if you really thought so, your body wouldn't be trembling now. You are instinctively afraid of me, afraid of your master, and want to hide your thoughts from your master."

　No matter how smart Takashiro Yuriko was, she was doomed to be unable to disobey Mo Yankong the moment she became his follower. Even if she was a super businessman on Wall Street, with a deep mind, as long as she was in front of Mo Yankong,

　It is impossible to hold back before.

　"..."

　Knowing that lying was pointless, Takagi Yuriko's shaking shoulders relaxed and she replied in a depressed tone, "I'm sorry, I just don't want my daughter to be involved in this. She's a smart child. If possible, I want to confess this to her as soon as possible. I hope she can live a normal and happy life."

　Mo Yankong chuckled. "Don't you think this is just pure kindness on your part? Sometimes, when you force your perceived kindness on others, it becomes evil. Saya is very smart. Didn't I tell her that? I've never concealed the fact that I'm a vampire from her. She probably knows about your current situation."

　"It seems so." Takagi Yuriko smiled bitterly. After the two entered the mansion, with their keen vampire hearing, she and Mo Yankong both heard Takagi Saya muttering to herself.

　"What are you going to do?"

　Takashiro Yuriko's eyes dimmed. "As long as it's your order, I will carry it out without hesitation."

　What this means is that as long as Mo Yankong has any dissatisfaction with Takagi Saya, she can get rid of Takagi Saya at any time.

　She did think so and would indeed do so, but this pretended sad attitude was just to play the role of victim in front of Mo Yankong. After a brief time together the day before yesterday, Takagi Yuriko had basically figured out Mo Yankong's character.

　She could not disobey Mo Yankong's orders, but she could guide him and gain his sympathy.

　How could Mo Yankong not know her little thoughts?

　Mo Yankong didn't mind. In Mo Yankong's eyes, Takagi Saya was also a valuable commodity, and he had no intention of doing anything to her.

　However, here Mo Yankong simply followed the lady's meaning and said jokingly with an evil look on his face: "Whether I will do something to Saya depends on your sincerity, Madam Gaocheng."

　Beautiful, perfect wife book plot development!

　Mo Yankong's inner evil taste index increased sharply.

　Takagi Yuriko was startled, then raised her head and smiled softly. The light veil wrapped in her arms fell to the carpet, and she smiled flatteringly: "As long as it's for Saya, I'm willing to do anything. I hope you won't bully me too much."

　Chapter 38 The Cruel Truth

　The next day, the nuclear bomb exploded in the sky above Japan as expected. A strong electromagnetic pulse swept across the entire city. All electronic products were burned by the electromagnetic pulse in an instant, and the night of Bed King City ushered in eternal darkness.

　The Gaocheng family hurriedly took some emergency measures because of Mo Yankong's reminder, but they could only reduce the losses. Most of the power station was scrapped, and experts worked day and night to repair it.

　As guests, Mo Yankong and his group lived a leisurely life. Unable to suppress his violent impulses, Dokujima Yako temporarily joined the guard team to fight against the zombies.

　In just one day, the name of Dokujima Yako was remembered by all the guards. Anyone who saw a woman rushing into a group of zombies with a samurai sword and killing them all would probably be impressed by this woman. The number of zombies killed by Dokujima Yako alone was more than the total number of zombies killed by all the guards in one night.

　Miyamoto Rei and Marikawa Shizuka were guests and didn't need to do anything. They usually read books and occasionally went to Mo Yankong's room at night to provide blood.

　The only problem was Takagi Saya. Mo Yankong hadn't seen her for several days. I heard that she had been locking herself in her room. When he met her occasionally, Takagi Saya just passed by with a cold look and didn't even say hello.

　Of course, Mo Yankong could see Saya Takagi's red and swollen eyes and increasingly haggard cheeks. A few days were enough for her to know the news of her father's death. What made it even more difficult for her to accept was the unclear connection between Mo Yankong and her mother Yuriko Takagi.

　-

　One afternoon a week after arriving at Gao Cheng's house, Mo Yankong was sleeping on the sofa in his room. The room was dim and all the doors and windows were blocked by thick curtains.

　Rather than saying that he was resting, it would be more accurate to say that Mo Yankong was exploring the capabilities of his vampire body, perfecting the Void Eye Sting and Vaporization Freezing Methods created by Dio.

　Mo Yankong, who was lying on the sofa, suddenly opened his eyes. A smile appeared in his dark red pupils, and he muttered to himself, "You've finally made up your mind, Saya."

　"Tuk-tuk-"

　There was a knock on the wooden door.

　"Come in."

　Takagi Saya opened the door and walked in. She looked around the room and asked calmly, "I'm not used to the dark. Can I turn on the light?"

　"random."

　Mo Yankong stood up from the sofa, a smile flashing in his eyes as he casually said, "We haven't had many opportunities to meet since we came here. What do you want to talk to me about?"

　"Well, there is something I want to discuss with you." Takagi Saya said calmly, walked into the room as if nothing had happened, and raised her hand to grab the thick curtains.

　Mo Yankong sneered, "I advise you to stop. I have the ability to kill you before you open the curtains and let the sunlight in."

　Gao Chengsaya's eyes narrowed. Seeing that her plan had been seen through, she lowered the curtains, pulled out a pistol from her waist, and pointed it at Mo Yankong's head. Under the girl's frameless glasses, her eyes were cold and serious: "It seems that we both have a certain understanding. So tell me, what is your relationship with your mother?"

　Mo Yankong answered directly: "Didn't you guess it? It's a master-servant relationship."
