There is something wrong with my infinite flow teammates!

As he spoke, Ishikawa Kazuya beside him had tears in his eyes. He called out "Senior Ohga" in a low voice and patted him on the back gently.

Hayato Hayama also sighed softly: "Ohga-san, please accept my condolences."

However, when Hayato Hayama just finished speaking, Ishikawa couldn't help but feel pain. He turned his head and looked at Hayato Hayama and said angrily: "How can you understand our feelings! All of you in Sobu High School are still alive and well here. Do you understand the feeling of your friends dying?"

"Xiaoyi, stop talking."

"Why don't you say it! Ohga-senpai! The same goes for Yosuke and Junichiro. The dead people have nothing to do with them, so he's pretending here!" Ishikawa Hajime became excited, and his eyes were full of resentment when he looked at Yukinoshita Yukino: "... What's more, Junichiro died to save that woman. If you hadn't insisted on acting with us, Junichiro wouldn't have died. What qualifications do you have to comfort him..."

"I told you to stop talking, don't you understand!?"

Da He Taiyang suddenly got angry and yelled at Ishikawa, which scared the emotional Ishikawa and he immediately looked at his predecessor with grievance.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoyi. I..."

"We really are not qualified to comfort you, but we also don't want to cause the current situation."

Hayato Hayama whispered, "In fact, I am also partly responsible. If I hadn't proposed to station here, perhaps this wouldn't have happened. As for Inoue-san, it was his own decision, and it has nothing to do with Yukinoshita."

When Hayato Hayama wanted to speak again, Kitahara Sora, who had been silent the whole time, interrupted and said, "You just made a suggestion. The final decision was made by you two. I had a feeling that things wouldn't be that simple, but I didn't expect the zombie tide to come so soon."

"Let's talk about Asakawa Yosuke. At that time, it was indeed me who said that the Rampager must be killed, otherwise it could break through any obstacle. However, unlike what I expected, the Rampager's arm defense power actually reached such an astonishing level."

Kitahara Sora tore open the tin sheet of the meat can and handed it to Yukinoshita Yukino. The latter gave him a look that said "I can do it myself, don't meddle in other people's business", but still took the can.

"I said to attack the lower body of the Ramblers. I had run out of bullets at that time, otherwise I would not have let you attack. It was because Asakawa Yosuke lost his mind that the Ramblers found an opportunity to take advantage of him. I also killed it as soon as it exposed its weakness, so Asakawa Yosuke's death has nothing to do with me."

After saying that, Da He Taiyang took a deep breath and calmed down for a few seconds, then bowed slightly to Kitahara Sora: "I'm really sorry, Kitahara-san, I saw Yousuke at that time... I was so sad, so it was wrong of me to lose my temper with you."

Kitahara Sora waved his hand to show that he didn't care, and continued: "Let's talk about Inoue Junichiro. When Yukinoshita was injured and began to retreat early, she couldn't run fast because of her legs, so she ran into the jockey when she climbed to the ninth floor. Then Inoue ran up, well, you should have seen clearly that he was running away."

"So when he met the injured Yukinoshita on the way, he didn't help her, but ran away directly. Before Yukinoshita could remind him that there were special infected people nearby, he slipped away, so he was controlled by the rider... In the end, it was Yukinoshita who helped him get revenge. Even if he chose to help Yukinoshita at that time, maybe the situation would be different."

Kitahara Sora gave a general account of the situation, but did not mention the fact that Inoue took advantage of the situation to bully the injured girl. However, after he finished speaking, Ishikawa Hajime wanted to refute, but after seeing the look in Ohga Taiyo's eyes, he fell silent.

Yukinoshita Yukino chewed the food in her mouth in small bites and did not explain anything. When Ishikawa Kazuo blamed her, Yukinoshita did not show any emotion, as if he was not talking about her.

"Okay, that's enough, do you have anything else to say?"

Seeing that Ishikawa didn't say anything, Kitahara Sora didn't say anything more about this matter. He just thought for a while and continued, "Since you don't want to talk about it, let me tell you something else..." Kitahara Sora turned his head and looked around and asked, "Where are Miura Yumiko and the others?"

There was only Miyamoto Rei in the room, huddled alone in the corner, looking weak, pitiful and helpless, and no one knew where the others had gone since he came in.

"Sho and Hirano said they were very sleepy, so they went to the bedroom to rest. Yumiko and the others didn't go to fight the zombies, so I asked them to go to the guest room downstairs to collect some usable supplies and flammable materials. Miyamoto hasn't gotten over the grief of losing Jinghao, so I didn't arrange for her... But there was no gunfire downstairs, so they shouldn't be in any danger."

Hayato Hayama glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "He should be back soon."

"do not worry?"

"How can I be at ease!" Hayato Hayama said with a helpless smile: "We can't always let them hide behind us. If something happens to me one day, then Yumiko..."

Kitahara Sora looked at the helpless Hayato Hayama and nodded. It seemed that his words and the experiences of the past two days had made Hayato Hayama realize something. He actually let Taisuke Sawagenaga take girls like Yumiko Miura and Makoto Ito out to find supplies. It was very good. At least he started to consider the team. I give him a thumbs up.

Beiyuan Kong nodded and said, "Then you can tell them when they come back. I will briefly explain it first."

"You all saw that Yukinoshita was accidentally injured this morning. Now her wound has completely healed..."

Following Kitahara Sora's words, the eyes of the people around shifted to Yukinoshita Yukino's calves wrapped in stockings. She felt a little uncomfortable and moved her body from sitting with her legs curled side by side to kneeling on the carpet, hiding her two golden-ratio calves behind her.

"You guessed it right. In addition to clearing the zombie virus from the body, the Evolution Core can also heal any injuries in a very short time. I don't know the details, but I remember that my injuries had put me on the verge of death."

Seeing that no one was talking, Tokiyukishita, who had just finished her can, took a sip of her Coke and said, "The core I fused was from the special infected Jockey who was killed, and Kitahara-san killed the Hunter, so we speculated on the way back that this thing is a special reward for killing a special infected body."

"Yukinoshita, what do you mean..."

"She's right. This thing can be obtained by killing mutant zombies, which is equivalent to an extra life." Kitahara Sora calmly looked at the stunned faces of Hayato Hayama and Taiyo Ohga, and continued: "So we have to collect these things as much as possible. In the next period of time, if anyone is injured or infected by zombies, we can save his life and improve his physique, which can increase the probability of survival."

Da He Taiyang's expression turned from surprise to joy, and he suppressed his excitement and said, "Kitahara-san means that if each of us fuses the evolution core, the chances of us all surviving together will greatly increase, and no one will even have to die?"

Having said that, Miyamoto Rei in the corner raised her head and turned her gaze to the people sitting by the fire.

"I can't say that so absolutely. After being strengthened, my physique is only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary person. Yukinoshita has only recovered from her injuries. The specific situation is different for each person. You should have understood this when you saw how fast I ran at the beginning."

Bei Yuankong stood up and looked around the room, then walked to the coffee table in front of the sofa, pinched the edge of the coffee table with one hand, and let out a low shout. The muscles on his arm bulged visibly, and he held his sleeves tightly. This solid wood coffee table, which weighed at least 150 kilograms, was lifted up with one hand.

Ohga Taiyo and Hayama Hayato couldn't help but open their mouths. Although Kitahara Sora lifted Sawanagami Taisuke effortlessly with one hand and threw him out at the beginning, it still caused a great shock in their hearts. If they were asked to lift this coffee table, they might be able to lift one side for a long time with two hands, but Kitahara Sora lifted the coffee table with one hand, and with his palm facing up, relying only on the strength of his wrist.

Although it only lasted for less than 2 seconds, there must be people in the world who can have this kind of power, but definitely not many.

Da He Taiyang's face was calm, his brows were frowned, and no one knew what he was thinking, but his eyes were shining.

Ishikawa started to feel a little excited...

Even Hayato Hayama, who originally just wanted to live a peaceful life, began to feel a little moved.

Let alone becoming such a strong physique, it would be best if no one died. It was only the second day, and Hinata Hayashi, Yamaguchi Reimi, Sada Ritsuko, Igo Nagata, Inoue Junichiro, Asakawa Yosuke, Touhara Rika...

Before the second day was over, seven people had died, and they needed to hold out in this environment for three months. If another zombie wave came...

"Kitahara-san, do you mean that we need to take the initiative?"

Kitahara Sora looked at the hesitant Hayato Hayama and said, "That's not what I meant. Let's talk about the number first. For now, we only know that Smoker is still around the hotel. Except for those who have been killed, other special infected people have not appeared. I told you about the characteristics of special infected people. They will never appear in our field of vision, so I don't agree to take the initiative to find them. Another point is that I speculate that the evolution core can only take effect once for each person. If it happens a second time, they will still die. Of course, this is just my guess."

"Assuming my guess is correct, there should be an evolution core around the body of the Ramblers in the lobby on the first floor. We need to dig it out in case of emergency."

As Kitahara Sora finished speaking, Ohga Taiyo and Ishikawa looked at each other, while Hayama Hayato was still weighing the pros and cons in his heart.

At this moment, the reminder from the 'Lord God' sounded in everyone's mind without any warning.

"Player: Taisuke Sawaonaga triggers the side quest (Team Shared)."

"Mission Objective 1: Find the survivors, Bill, Francis, Louis, and Zoe. Reward points: 500."

"Mission Objective 2: Assist the survivors to reach the Grizzly City Military Base, reward points 1000."

"Mission Rule 1: After completing the mission, you will be rewarded with 1 Evolution Core for each survivor who survives, and 4 Evolution Cores for all survivors."

"Mission Rule 2: Please find survivors within 36 hours, otherwise the mission will fail. If all survivors die, the mission will fail."

"Mission failed: No penalty in the Novice Trial Field."

"Note: You are not allowed to reveal any information about the Trial Game to the mission character. Otherwise, the mission will fail and your rewards and points will be deducted."

Kitahara Sora and the others were blankly replaying the mission prompts in their minds. Before they had time to digest them, there was a knock on the door from Sawanagami Taisuke and his group.

After exchanging a glance, they walked towards the door and moved away the obstruction. Then, Miura Yumiko walked in first, holding a bundle of split furniture wood. "Hayato, we just seemed to... Yukinoshita? Are you still alive?"

Miura Yumiko swallowed back what she wanted to say when she saw Yukinoshita's back, and said in surprise: "I thought you were dead!"

When all the people who were resisting the tide of corpses came back, although Miura Yumiko was relieved to see that Hayama Hayato was fine, she was also sad for a while when she didn't notice that Yukinoshita had returned. Although the two of them didn't get along at school and quarreled almost every time they met, and she couldn't win an argument with Yukinoshita Yukino, they were familiar with each other, and she couldn't help but feel a little unbearable to hear her bad news.

Yukinoshita Yukino stood up, and looking at Miura Yumiko who had an incredible smile on her face, she felt a little warm in her heart: "Thank you for your concern, Miura-san. I'm lucky, so I wasn't eaten by zombies. I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"Huh? Are you kidding me? Who cares about you?"

But as soon as Yukinoshita opened her mouth, Miura Yumiko exploded again and said angrily: "You are absolutely right. Seeing you standing here, I feel particularly disappointed!"

Yukinoshita was too lazy to argue with her, so she got up and walked to the bathroom. Her face was too dirty and she needed to clean it.

"Youmiko, welcome back."

Hayato Hayama took the wood from Miura Yumiko's hand, glanced at Sawaga Taisuke who was holding a satellite phone behind her and looked distressed, and continued, "Come in first and talk."

When a few people came in, put down the supplies in their hands, gathered around the fire, ate their food and were about to start discussing the side quest that had just been prompted in their minds, Yukinoshita Yukino opened the bathroom door and interrupted them.

"Kitahara-san, I've actually been thinking about a question."

Yukinoshita Yukino walked in. She had already wiped her face clean. Her pretty oval face was red from the cold water, which was very cute.

Her smooth, straight black hair had been combed into a ponytail using the red ribbon that was originally tied around her earlobes. Her intellectual and quiet bookish temperament was restrained, replaced by a youthful and energetic aura.

"what is the problem?"

Kitahara Sora was stunned, turned his head and looked at Yukinoshita Yukino and asked.

"I've been feeling a bit of a headache, but I couldn't remember when I'd hurt my head, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

Yukinoshita Yukino pointed at the quail egg-sized bump on her forehead and gave Kitahara Sora a warm smile: "The Evolution Core was able to quickly repair such a serious wound on my leg. I've been awake for almost two hours, so why can't this swelling on my head be healed?"

"So Kitahara-san, could you please tell me where this bulge on my head came from?"

Upon hearing this, Hayato Hayama, Ohga Taiyo and even Miura Yumiko looked at Kitahara Sora with strange expressions. When Yukinoshita Yukino appeared in front of them, they discovered that there was a conspicuous big bump on Yukinoshita's forehead, which looked a bit funny.

But in this kind of environment, injuries are sometimes unavoidable, and she was lucky to come back alive, so they didn't care about the swelling on her forehead and didn't mention it.

Because compared to being bitten by a zombie, the bloodless wound on her forehead was hardly a wound.

After hearing Yukinoshita's question, Kitahara Sora stroked his chin and began to think. After a while, he answered seriously and affirmatively: "It's your illusion."

"puff--"

I don't know who couldn't help but laughed out loud.

Then Yukinoshita Yukino also started laughing, and the comb and other items in her hands flew towards Kitahara Sora.

０Section 24: Survivors and New Targets

In a small hotel in the southern suburbs of White Eagle City, three men and one woman were sitting around a fireplace in the hall, warming themselves by the fire.

"Oh! Shit, fuck! Fuck! This piece of shit is a piece of crap—"

The tall and thin black man kept fiddling with the satellite phone in his hand. It was obvious that his patience had run out, and he kept spitting out a fragrant smell from his mouth.

"Calm down, Louis, save your energy, or I won't save you when you get pinned to the ground by a zombie."

The burly white man grinned and pushed the large-caliber bullet into the chamber of the shotgun in his hand with a smirk on his face.

"Bullshit!" The black man named Louis dropped the phone, stood up and yelled at the white man, "Will I be fucked by them? If they dare to rush in, I will let them know what cruelty is!"

After saying that, Louis also made an exaggerated hip-thrusting movement like Jackson's dance, which looked funny.

"Click~"

The pretty girl with a ponytail in a pink down jacket pulled the bolt of the AR15 in her hand hard, pointed the muzzle at Louis' crotch, and said with a look of disgust: "I bet that thing in your crotch is definitely not as hard as my bullet."

“Oh, I was just kidding, Zoe, come on.”

Louis covered his crotch with his hands and smiled nervously: "Don't you think the atmosphere is too tense now?"

"Next time you act like a hooligan, please pay attention to the ladies present. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that the gun won't go off accidentally next time."

Zoe smiled and lowered the gun.

"You bastard, it was Francis who started it first, why should I be threatened by you?" Louis said aggrievedly, stretching out his hand to the old man who was smoking a cheap cigar beside him: "Hey, old Bill, I'm very angry now, give me one of your cigars."

The old man wearing a green military cap smiled and pushed Louis' hand away, saying with a smile: "Come on, Louis, stop playing tricks, can that thing still be used?"

The black man picked up the satellite phone on the ground that looked like a big mobile phone and threw it to Bill: "There is a signal, but the hell I can't get through."

Out of order? Bill looked at the phone in his hand, took a puff of his cigar and squinted his eyes.

The four people have been trapped here for two days. A week has passed since the complete fall of White Eagle City. The virus began to appear half a year ago. At the beginning, it only spread in a small range and did not cause serious accidents. When the US government discovered the virus in the movie, it did not take corresponding emergency measures, but chose to block the news, suppress the riots, and conduct research.

Until a researcher, unknowingly carrying the latent virus, entered the city from a small town, and the virus began to sweep the world.

At first, the virus was relatively mild, with a latent period of several days or even dozens of days after infection. As time went on, the virus seemed to evolve on its own, becoming more and more violent. Now, if you are infected, you will turn into a monster with only the desire to eat within half an hour.

As a Vietnam War veteran, Bill had few friends, and his comrades and relatives died one after another. Alone and suffering from lung cancer, he had nothing to cling to. But the three young blood he met in the past few days rekindled his desire to live, and their mutual support made him feel the long-lost warmth.

Although Bill knew that he didn't have much time left, he at least wanted to keep these three young guys alive.

Glancing at the heavy snow outside the window, he, who had a low level of education, did not understand why it suddenly snowed heavily on such a hot day. The "top student" Louis could not explain it either, and could only curse God. He was originally a devout believer, but the millions of zombies in White Eagle City were also very devout when they were alive.

"Louis, I remember you had a brief exchange with them. What did they say specifically?"

Bill glanced at Louis and said, "And they took the initiative to call you. As far as I know, there are not many living people in White Eagle City except us."

"All they said was that they had a dozen people trapped in the Shelson Hotel downtown and they were asking us for help."

Louis picked up a piece of wood and threw it into the fireplace and continued, "Damn it, how did they appear in the city center? And there are so many of them."

"More than a dozen people?" Francis looked at Louis in disbelief and continued, "Dude, are you sure you heard it right?"

"I'm not old yet, bro."

Louis opened his hands and gestured: "There was a man on the other end of the phone, speaking very poor English, but I could understand him, and there were several women's voices beside him!"

A dozen people, asking us for help? Several women?

Bill frowned, and after a moment he asked in confusion: "Have you told them our location?"

"Oh, come on, old Bill, I'm not that stupid. God knows who they are." Louis gestured with his hands and continued, "But they said they have a lot of weapons and ammunition, warm clothes and food..."

Seeing Bill lost in thought again, Francis said, "Bill, don't tell me you want to be a hero?"

"Don't make a decision lightly if you are not absolutely sure." Bill shook his head and glanced at the deflated backpack on the table and said, "--But we can't hold on for much longer."
