There are parking lots on both sides of the school gate, but they are full of students' bicycles that are parked all over the place, so these are not taken into consideration.

After arriving at the gate, the three were still shocked to see the doomsday-like scene on the streets. There were much more zombies on the streets than in the school. There were more than a hundred zombies standing and wandering within a hundred meters.

Some stood there in a daze, some were holding onto telephone poles and retching, and some walked a few steps and vomited green juice from their mouths, then fell to the ground, only to get up a few seconds later and lie on the ground to eat their vomit back into their stomachs.

The ground was littered with corpses and broken limbs, blood and internal organs could be seen everywhere on the road, and there were broken cars lying everywhere, with thick smoke coming out of the engines of several cars. It was obvious that they were tragic car accidents caused by panic when the virus broke out.

The air was filled with pungent smells of decay, blood, and burning gasoline.

The road to the east has been blocked by hundreds of piled up cars. Judging from the driving direction of these scrapped cars, the blocked direction should be the direction of government evacuation or leaving the city to a safe zone, while the westward direction should be the direction of the densely populated city center.

Kitahara Sora also discovered a yellow school bus about 30 meters to the left of the school gate. Judging from the number of seats, it could carry about people.

The school bus knocked down a telephone pole, but the American school bus's anti-collision and energy-absorbing front end is extremely sturdy, so even if it hit the telephone pole, only the hood was slightly deformed.

The car door was open, and there were several zombies that looked like students inside the car with their faces pressed against the windows, making meaningless biting movements. Three zombies squatted on the ground at the door, ripped open a relatively fresh corpse, pulled out the internal organs, and stuffed them into their mouths at random.

Judging from the torn uniform, the corpse being eaten should be the school security guard and bus driver, as there was a bunch of keys hanging on his belt.

Gudong!

Hinata Lin swallowed his saliva, and then Kitahara Sora pulled him by the collar and the three of them pressed against the wall about 20 meters away from the school gate. At this time, Kitahara Sora was still relatively calm, and Inoue Junichiro was also a little shaky.

The three of them were just ordinary people. They had never seen such a shocking and desperate doomsday scene. The otakus who spent all day playing games and watching anime immediately became a little scared.

"Bei, Beiyuan classmate, no, why don't we go back and tell them and just stay in school..."

Kitahara Sora ignored him and turned his gaze to Inoue Junichiro, who was still in a daze. A few seconds later, when he noticed Kitahara Sora staring at him, Inoue Junichiro shuddered and said tremblingly, "I... I also think it's better to hold on in school than... No, that's not right. I think now that we have found the school bus, how about we go back and discuss the next plan with everyone?"

"You all know that the school can't sustain so many of us for three months." Beiyuan Kong shook his head and continued, "Let's not talk about the issue of food and cold-weather supplies. If we really plan to camp in the school, then we must clear out all the zombies in the school, at least in our teaching building. Who will do this?"

"Let's take a step back. If we just stay in the classroom, what about the toilet problem? Even if we kill all the zombies in the teaching building, can you guarantee that zombies from outside the school will not continue to wander in? Are you willing to risk your life every time you need to go to the toilet to solve your physiological needs? If not, then we will return to the most primitive state, without any civilization. Although this is not worth mentioning in the face of life and death, are you willing to eat and sleep in a filthy space full of excrement?"

There are still many key points that have not been explained, and Kitahara Sora was too lazy to explain them. It is obviously unrealistic to defend the game's 'birth point' until the end of the game. The two of them should also know this, but they just cowardly.

"As for going back directly like this, we can't do that either. We have to kill some of the zombies outside the school gate, otherwise it will be very dangerous for the students who stay behind to come out, because half of them are girls with low psychological quality and fragile nerves. They still need some time to adapt."

To be honest, according to the plot of orthodox infinite flow novels, except for the girls with special skills in the protagonist's team who will be reused, those burdens and extras should be abandoned.

However, Kitahara Sora had no intention of becoming the captain, so this was not something he should worry about.

But he had no intention of leaving the main group and becoming a lone wolf. He didn't have that ability. This kind of nonsense idea would only appear in the protagonists of novels who had a cold-blooded and bloodthirsty personality and rich combat experience. Although he looked very indifferent on the outside, he still had all kinds of human emotional fluctuations in his heart.

I don't have a virtuous heart, but I won't think about how to kill them. People are forced to do things. Maybe some people will be eliminated, but some will adapt and become good teammates, provided that they don't endanger their own safety.

Just like when he saw the famous boss Makoto and the yellow-haired king Sawagenga Taisuke in the team, he just complained in his heart. Although he was so angry that he wanted to kill these idiots when watching the anime, he couldn't be so cruel when facing real people. He even lost the heart to be angry. It was such a wonderful psychological change. He was just an ordinary person in his previous life, not a perverted murderer.

“Kill, kill them? How? There are so many zombies, and we don’t have enough ammunition…”

"No, there is enough ammunition. Hinata-san, in addition to the 30 rounds of bullets in your AK, you also brought two spare magazines, a total of 90 rounds of 7.62mm rifle ammunition. Inoue-san's governor also has 6 rounds of bullets loaded, with 10 spare rounds. You two also brought two fragmentation grenades each, and a Molotov cocktail, which is enough."

Three hits of 7.62mm rifle bullets in the torso are enough to smash a human body into pieces, let alone zombies, so a high-powered rifle like AK doesn't even need to be aimed at the zombies' heads. A close-range shot from the Winchester in Junichiro Inoue's hand can take out most of a zombie's body, and with four grenades, as long as the monsters are pulled out well and with reasonable arrangements, it is not impossible to eliminate all the zombies visible on this street.

"No, Kitahara-san, this is too risky..."

Before Inoue Junichiro could finish his words, Kitahara Sora interrupted him: "Inoue-san, I understand what you mean. The gunshots are likely to attract zombies to the school. We haven't completely cleared out all the zombies we saw along the way. The worst result is that we are attacked from both sides."

He looked at the two and said softly, "I can do these things by myself. I should be confident. But I don't recommend you to return early. It's not that I will have any negative emotions if you leave me and run away alone, but it would be bad if you encounter zombies attracted by my gunshots when you return. Because you have to leave your weapons for me. We don't have much time."

Kitahara Sora's voice also became a little breathless. The temperature has now dropped to at least single digits. If it drops below 0 degrees, everyone will be killed.

So the best option now is to kill some of the zombies, or at least kill all the zombies around the school bus, and it would be best to check the condition of the vehicle to see if it can start normally. Although it is a bit risky, it is much better than asking everyone to come here and kill them at the last minute. There are too many variables, and they might really be beaten by zombies.

Inoue Junichiro struggled internally. After a moment, he looked up at Kitahara Sora and said through gritted teeth, "I did it! Kitahara-san, tell me your plan!"

Kitahara Sora nodded, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Hinata Lin's panicked exclamation: "W-what? Inoue-san, why did you agree? You'll die! You'll be eaten by zombies!"

Hinata Lin looked at Inoue Junichiro in disbelief, as if he had made up his mind. He suppressed his fear and was on the verge of exploding: "Inoue-san, Kitahara-san, I, I don't agree! I absolutely don't agree! I want to go back! I'm going back first!"

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to run towards the teaching building.

But as soon as he turned around, Kitahara Sora pulled him by the collar and he fell to the ground.

“No, Kitahara-san, you can’t force me! Kitahara Sora… well… well…”

Kitahara Sora pressed down on Hinata Lin's mouth and nose and subdued him to the ground: "Hinata-san, I can give you one minute to run back to the classroom, but you have to leave your gun behind. If you keep yelling like this, I don't mind feeding you to the zombies!"

Kitahara Sora's cold eyes stared at Hinata Lin's panicked pupils. That cold look made Hinata Lin feel as if he was falling into an ice cave, even several degrees lower than the surrounding temperature, which made him struggle even more fearfully.

But it lasted only a dozen seconds, and his struggle gradually weakened. He tried hard to pry open Kitahara Sora's hands that were covering his face. Hinata Lin's cheeks turned red, and his strength gradually weakened. When he was about to give up struggling, Kitahara Sora let him go.

The moment Kitahara Sora let go of his hand, Hinata Lin took a greedy breath. The previous blow almost suffocated him to death.

Beiyuan Kong ignored the fearful and slightly resentful look in Hinata Lin's eyes, put Meilie on his back and put the bow bag on his back, then took off the AK105 hanging on his body, and took out two grenades and two magazines from his pocket.

"Hinata-san, you now have 60 seconds to return to the classroom. I will start to complete my plan in one minute. If you encounter any problems during the one minute period, please take care of yourself."

Kitahara Sora looked at Hinata Lin indifferently. Letting him go back like this would undoubtedly push him into a desperate situation as he had no weapons. If he returned under such circumstances, encountering even one zombie would be enough to put him in danger.

Originally, Kitahara Sora was planning to ask Inoue Junichiro to give him the shotgun. In fact, he only needed grenades and AK. However, after seeing the behavior and expression of this otaku, Kitahara Sora rejected this idea. If this guy shot him in a corner, it would be a big deal.

However, Kitahara Sora did not go too far. He took the samurai sword from Junichiro Inoue and threw it in front of him.

It is only about 150 meters in a straight line from the school gate to the teaching building where the high school students are located. During the journey, one has to cross the teaching building in front. When passing through, Beiyuan Kong discovered that there are actually not many zombies. As long as this kid is smart and brave and doesn't seek death, he will hardly encounter any danger.

At this moment, Kitahara Kong seemed to have heard some sound and suddenly frowned.

That kind of sound that is vague and similar to the roar of a cat...

It sounds so familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere before, but I can't remember where!

The sound gradually became clearer... then suddenly disappeared, and reappeared...

Kitahara Sora raised his finger as a gesture of silence, interrupting the words that Inoue Junichiro wanted to say but had not yet spoken.

A strong sense of uneasiness enveloped his heart, and even made Kitahara Sora want to leave immediately, but when he listened carefully, the voice completely disappeared. Was it an illusion...

No, it couldn't be an illusion. I must have heard this voice somewhere before! Bei Yuankong quickly turned his head and looked around, at the sculpture at the main entrance of the campus, the surrounding bushes, benches, fountains... but found nothing.

Growling, roaring, feline, cautious, timid, lurking, sneaking...

Gradually, as an image became clearer in my mind, the voice disappeared.

At this time, Hinata Lin had already picked up the samurai sword and was running towards the school...

Suddenly, Kitahara Sora seemed to have thought of something. He quickly turned his head and stared at Hinata Lin's running back.

At this moment, suddenly a high-pitched and piercing roar was heard, accompanied by a black shadow sweeping in, like a violent storm, rushing out from the green belt on the side, and directly knocking Hinata Lin to the ground while he was running.

The black shadow in a hooded sweatshirt sat astride Hinata Lin's belly, roaring continuously from his mouth, and the sharp nails on his mutated fingers frantically dug into the bulletproof vest plate on Hinata Lin's chest.

After a while, the nails were inserted into the gap between the bulletproof plate and the fabric. With a swish, the front of the bulletproof vest was directly lifted up, and the nails were inserted into Hinata Lin's soft chest!

It was not until the cold and sharp ripper pierced his chest that the terrified Hinata Lin burst into horrified, hysterical screams and cries for help.

The black shadow sitting on him looked like a crazy doctor. With his hands, he cruelly opened Hinata Lin's abdomen and chest. He inserted his hands into his body alternately and quickly pulled them out. Every time he pulled his arms out, a piece of bright red flesh and internal organs was brought out. Then, an extremely horrifying scene appeared.

From the back, a dark shadow was sitting on the screaming and struggling Hinata Lin, with two hands quickly fiddling with him in front of him, and then, along with his shrill screams, all kinds of bright red objects were thrown into the air...

In just over twenty seconds, Hinata Lin's cries for help gradually faded until they were silent, but the figure continued to fiddle with Hinata Lin's lifeless body, as if to hollow out his body...

Snap! Junichiro Inoue collapsed to the ground, his whole body shaking.

Beiyuan Kong's face also turned pale, and a drop of cold sweat quietly dripped down...

It really is a way to survive, it really is...

Hunter!

Chapter 10: Hunter

Just as the two were stunned, the zombies on the street suddenly became active. Their aura suddenly became sharp from their unconscious free state, and they all turned their heads to look in the direction of Hinata Lin inside the school gate.

Roaring and roaring, then swarming towards Bei Yuankong!

At the same time, Hunter, who was facing away from the two and was madly tearing Hinata Lin's chest, suddenly stopped. He turned his head and his bloody and dark pupils locked onto Kitahara Sora, making eye contact with him.

It let go of Hinata Lin and turned around, lying on the ground on all fours like a tiger hunting its prey. In its open bloody mouth, a row of sharp teeth were still stained with blood and minced meat. Its throat moved and it let out a dull growl similar to that of a cat, and slowly crawled a few steps towards Bei Yuankong, like a tiger lurking in the grass, calm but not impulsive, but always giving people the feeling that it would pounce suddenly in the next second and grab the throat of its prey accurately and swiftly!

Beiyuan Kong suddenly became alert and felt a chill and fear spreading from his spine to the top of his head, and his scalp felt tingling.

Just at this moment, Kitahara Sora quickly took the Molotov cocktail from Junichiro Inoue's waist, lit the flaming cloth strip at the mouth of the bottle and threw it directly towards the school gate!

With a slight snap, the bottle of Molotov cocktail shattered, and the highly sticky flammable liquid instantly spilled out and ignited. The howling flames instantly swept across the three square meters of the ground to form a wall of fire, and also blocked the entrance to the school!

But zombies are not living creatures with thoughts. They only rely on instinct to pursue food. They have no fear and no sense of pain.

The moment the fire started, the seemingly slow-moving zombies on the street rushed in at an extremely fast speed. They stepped over the flames, their feet were ignited, and each of them rushed towards Hinata Lin because of the smell of blood, while a small number rushed towards Kitahara Sora and the others.

I don't know if it's because the virus mutated and changed the cell structure, but the zombies basically ignited at the slightest touch, and the burning got hotter and hotter. From the beginning, there was fire on the soles of their feet, and the flames quickly spread to their calves and thighs as they ran. In just one or two seconds, they turned into firemen.

But the burning all over their bodies could not stop them from moving. They rushed forward even more frantically with flames on their bodies.

Dadada, dadada...

Gunshots rang out, and flames came out from the muzzle of the upgraded AK in Kitahara Sora's hand. Violent tongues of fire spit out and he madly fired at the oncoming zombies.

As bullets poured down, sparks flew as they hit the flaming zombies, and broken limbs and arms broke off the bodies like burning wood and were thrown into the air!

But the zombies' only weakness is their brains. Accurate headshots are impossible in such an emergency. The only way is to let the zombies' bodies be shattered by the strafing of bullets, making them lose their mobility. However, the zombies whose bodies were cut in half still lay on the ground, allowing their companions to step on them, and they desperately crawled towards Bei Yuankong.

All this happened in just a moment. When Kitahara Kong had fired half a magazine of bullets, he suddenly seemed to remember something. He thought to himself that something was wrong. His heart sank, and he immediately turned the muzzle of the gun towards Hinata Lin.

However, he unexpectedly discovered that the mutant infected 'hunter' that was originally ready to attack not far away did not pounce on him, but disappeared instead.

Kitahara Kong became more frightened but also calmed down.

It's like sleeping in your bedroom and suddenly you see a palm-sized spider on the ceiling! The appearance of this spider does not arouse the greatest fear in people. The most terrifying thing is that when you keep staring at it, it disappears in the moment when you are distracted.

The continuous gunfire stopped, the trigger clicked lightly, and the magazine of 30 rounds was emptied. Kitahara Kong lightly pressed the magazine button, and the empty magazine fell out and he reloaded it. He began to slowly retreat while lightly pressing the trigger to start three-round bursts, only shooting at the zombies rushing in the front, and only aiming at the feet and head.

But Junichiro Inoue was still in a daze. When a zombie fell in front of him only one or two meters away, he reacted. The heat wave that hit him dispelled the cold temperature in front of him, and the burnt smell of the burning corpse also made him scared to death and he quickly got up.

"Inoue! Inoue, come over here and stand with me, help me defend..."

After seeing Inoue Junichiro get up, Kitahara Sora subconsciously wanted to speak and ask Inoue Junichiro to help him keep an eye on the scattered zombies in the school behind him. But before he could finish his words, he felt a gust of wind blowing past his ears. Inoue Junichiro, who was scared and screaming, quickly passed by Kitahara Sora and ran towards him in a terrified manner, completely ignoring Kitahara Sora. While running, he even knocked a petite female zombie who had just stood up from the ground away for a meter or two, and she couldn't get up for a long time.

No matter how calm Kitahara Sora was, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart. He turned his head and glanced at the back of Junichiro Inoue who was rushing around in a panic. Suddenly he thought of something and thought to himself, "Oh no!"

According to the characteristics of the hunter in the game, this type of mutated zombie has higher intelligence than ordinary zombies. It cannot be said to be intelligence, but instinct.

The hunter zombie's leg muscles are abnormally developed and powerful, allowing it to jump dozens of meters like a frog. According to the official explanation, the hunter was bitten by an infected cat before his death, and thus inherited the hunting instinct of the feline.

It has inherited the caution and timidity of animals, as well as the skills of a cat in hunting mice. It will not rush over and kill its prey mindlessly like other ordinary zombies. It will even conduct a risk assessment for the next hunt and will never kill its prey at the expense of its own safety!

The setting is the same as in the game. Due to the mutation of the hunter's body, there will be no sound when he is standing, but when he lies down on the ground, the muscles in his throat will move up and down, making a dull growl.

When the players are busy collecting supplies, the players who are walking in front or at the back and are alone will suddenly be pounced on by it. This also explains why when Kitahara Sora and the other two were together, the hunter just lurked around and did not launch an attack, but when Hinata Lin ran away, it suddenly pounced on the lone Hinata Lin when it was at least 50 meters away from Kitahara Sora and Inoue Junichiro.

Even if Kitahara Sora and Inoue Junichiro were together, it just bared its teeth at Kitahara Sora and did not pounce on him!

In fact, this type of special infected is not invulnerable to swords and guns. They can be easily killed like other ordinary zombies, but they will always find you first and hide well so that you can't find them. And they have a common characteristic, that is, they are mysterious and have inherited various instinctive special skills. They are always crouching around the survivors, waiting for an opportunity to strike, but as long as they are targeted by these infected and successfully attacked, they will die even without the help of teammates in the game.

But at this time, Junichiro Inoue had quickly passed Kitahara Sora and ran towards the gymnasium, and there were still a steady stream of zombies rushing towards him. In the intervals between the gunshots, the hunter's faint roar came to his ears again.

Bei Yuankong's expression froze, and he stopped firing. He pressed the trigger hard and started firing fiercely at the zombies in front of him. After knocking down the zombies in front of him, he picked up a fragmentation grenade, pulled the ring and threw it about 20 meters in front of him, then immediately jumped back and lay down with his head in his hands.

The collision grenade exploded the moment it touched the ground. There was a loud bang, dust flew up, and the ground around it trembled as if it were an earthquake. Several zombies at the center of the explosion were blown into the sky in an instant, and their broken bodies flew everywhere.

Attracted by the smell of blood, dozens of zombies had already piled up on Hinata Lin's body and were scrambling to crawl in. There was even a pile of zombies more than three meters high!

However, they were all on fire, with light and shadows flashing in the flame core. The zombies would never stop at the last moment when they lost the ability to move. They rushed to the center of the pile of corpses until they were burned into charcoal and lay motionless. They were then pulled apart and filled with the corpses by new zombies. Because they were all piled together, the fire burned more and more vigorously, with flames shooting up into the sky. The flames were at least seven or eight meters high!

At the moment the explosion sounded, Beiyuan Kongxiang didn't even want to get up and rushed to the door quickly. The surroundings were empty, and there were still scattered zombies in the campus crawling up and rushing towards this side. Now the safest way was to run outside the school. Because of the noise here, almost all the zombies outside the school gate rushed in, and running into the teaching building was obviously unwise, because you didn't know when you would encounter a bloody mouth around the corner.

The only way to be temporarily safe was to run outside and get into the bus and close the door, because most school buses in Western countries are made of tempered glass or even bulletproof glass, and the fact that the bus had been hit was evident from the fact that there was not a single crack on the front windshield.

Just as Bei Yuan Kong ran two steps, as if he sensed something, his eyes flashed and he instinctively turned to look to the left. A black shadow whizzed out from the green bushes inside the wall, half of its head appeared, and pounced towards Bei Yuan Kong.

Beiyuan Kong's pupils shrank and he subconsciously turned his body to the side. The hunter's sharp claws grabbed his chest.

With a ripping sound, the shirt on Kitahara Kong's chest was torn open, leaving a half-meter-long crack, revealing his fair skin. Three thick white marks as big as cat's claws were left on his skin. The white marks turned red in an instant, the flesh and skin tissue separated, and blood slowly seeped out.

Just at the moment when the hunter missed his attack, Kitahara Kong raised his leg and kicked the hunter in the head, knocking the hunter to the ground on his back.

After completing this subconscious offensive action, Kitahara Kong felt a chill on his chest, and then a warm current spread across his chest, and instantly he felt a pain that was constantly stimulating his nerves.

Kitahara Sora didn't have time to think, he just quickly raised his AK and pulled the trigger at the hunter.

But when a clicking sound was heard, Beiyuan's heart sank. He had just emptied the magazine and immediately threw the grenade. Now there were no bullets in the gun!

At the critical moment, Kitahara Kong remained calm. He did not rush to take out the last magazine from his pocket and replace it. Instead, he took a step forward and kicked the hunter lying on the ground in the head.
