There is something wrong with my infinite flow teammates!

Zoe stood up and picked up her backpack. After opening it, her expression was serious: "There are still two bags of biscuits, two boxes of instant noodles, and three cans of fruit left."

This inexplicable heavy snow stopped the four people from escaping, forcing them to temporarily rest in this small hotel on the outskirts of the city. The clothes they were wearing now were taken out of the hotel owner's closet, and they didn't fit them well. Except for Zoe's down jacket, the three men were also wearing several layers of autumn clothes.

Bill smoked the cigar vigorously until the flame burned his fingers, then he came to his senses and threw the cigarette butt into the fireplace. After thinking it over again and again, he finally handed the phone in his hand to Louis: "Fix it. If these foreigners call again, tell them where we are, tell them we are from the military and can help them, and tell them we can give them 48 hours to meet up with us..."

Just as he finished speaking, the phone in Bill's hand suddenly rang again.

______________

"Yes, we have plenty of winter clothing and ammunition. OK... no problem. We will be there within 48 hours..."

Beiyuankong hung up the phone, looked at his companions and said, "They are pretending to be military personnel, asking me if I need support in terms of clothing and food. They also told me that the government will drop nuclear weapons on Baiying City in a few days. Based on this, I think their situation is not optimistic."

"You decide what to do next."

Kitahara Sora returned the phone to Sawaonaga Taisuke and stopped talking.

"I agree to contact the characters in the plot. At least they are more familiar with this world than we are. And according to the mission description, their destination is the military base of this world. We originally planned to leave here. Instead of running around like a headless fly, we might as well go with them."

No one spoke after Ohga Taiyo finished speaking. Hayato Hayama looked around, thought for a moment and said, "Since no one objects, then let me tell you about the mission. The system has given us 48 hours, which means that if we haven't found them by this time the day after tomorrow, the mission will be considered a failure."

Hayato Hayama spread the map on the pool table, pointed to the center and said, "We are here now, and the target is at the southernmost part of the city. If we drive and the road conditions are good, we can get there within three hours. But everyone knows the situation outside. If we walk, it will be very dangerous, not to mention that we can't get there in two days, because many zombies are buried under the snow."

"What should I do? I can't walk there, and I can't drive there either. Should I just give up?"

Sawada Taisuke rubbed his hair and said with a distressed look: "I heard from you that the evolution core can save a life once, and this task rewards 4 at a time!" |

"No, there is another way." Hayato Hayama kept it a secret: "We are in the city center!"

Then he pointed at an intersection on the street next to the hotel and said with a smile: "Mr. Kitahara said this morning that although the snow outside makes it impossible for vehicles to pass normally, we can still go on the road, so we need a tool."

Yukinoshita looked at the building sign with the English words "Vehicle repair" that Hayato Hayama was pointing at and said, "Auto repair shop...anti-skid chains?"

Hayato Hayama snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "The repair shop will definitely have anti-skid chains in stock. After installing the anti-skid chains, although we can't reach the normal driving speed, we can still reach the designated location within 5 hours."

"This repair shop is only one block away from us, and it can be reached in less than ten minutes from the hotel, but it is not our primary target yet."

At this time, Kitahara Sora took over and said, "We have two days, so our main goal tomorrow is to go downstairs, clean up the zombies killed by the zombie tide, and the zombies that are still wandering in the hotel lobby. Check the school bus parked outside the hotel to see if it has been damaged by the zombies. Ye Shan, I heard you say that the school bus is running low on fuel. I think we need to go to the hotel's underground parking lot to find some gasoline. If the school bus is damaged, we can also choose other vehicles."

Hayato Hayama nodded and said, "What Kitahara said is right, so I suggest that we split into three groups tomorrow. One group will be responsible for cleaning up the zombies in the hotel and digging out the evolution core buried by the corpses. One group will go to the underground garage, and another group will go to the repair shop outside the hotel. It would be best if we can complete these preparations in the morning... and then set out early the next morning to rush to the coordinates given to us by the survivors."

Suddenly, Beiyuan Kong seemed to remember something. He looked at the map carefully, then walked to the window and looked in the direction of the auto repair shop. Although it was getting dark, after his body was strengthened, he could still vaguely see the location of the auto repair shop a few hundred meters away by concentrating, and he had an answer in his mind.

He walked to the weapon box, looked at the M24 quietly lying inside the box, which had been assembled by Hirano Toda, and said, "Mr. Hirano, I remember you said that you had received firearms training, right?"

Hirano Toda, who was standing next to Tobe Sho, turned his gaze to Kitahara Sora upon hearing the voice, and said shyly while touching his head, "Yes, my father is a jeweler, so he knows a lot of rich people. I like guns, so my father let me play in the American Civilian Military Organization for a month to fulfill my wish."

Kitahara Sora nodded and continued, "Come over here and take a look. Yes, it's in this direction. There's the auto repair shop. How do you feel about this sniper point now?"

Hirano Toda squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. He could only vaguely see the street and the tall buildings on both sides of the street, but he still nodded and said, "If the end of that direction is the repair shop, this is indeed a good cover point."

"How are you with the sniper rifle? - You don't have to go on a mission tomorrow, so just stay here and cover the people going to the auto repair shop."

Kitahara Sora looked at Hirano Toda who was giving a thumbs up and patted him on the shoulder. He suddenly remembered that this boy knew a lot about firearms, but he was best at sniper rifles. He was also a sniper expert in the anime.

Since he couldn't use the sniper rifle for the time being, he just kept holding the rifle to attack, causing Kitahara Kong to almost forget this. Now he was able to play his role perfectly.

Hayato Hayama also came over, looked out the window, and said, "Yes, it's decided. Hirano-san will cover here, and as for the others, we will arrange specific tasks tomorrow."

Yumiko Miura lit the candles, and Yukino Yukinoshita added some firewood to the campfire and walked towards the big bag of clothes, trying to find some more convenient clothes.

If nothing unexpected happens, she will go out with Kitahara Sora tomorrow. After all, for the time being, they are the only two who have strengthened their bodies.

This relatively dangerous task will definitely fall on the two of them.

Chapter 1: The Style of That Arrow ()

The third day, early morning.

Yukinoshita Yukino has changed out of her 'sexy' winter fur skirt suit and put on a women's windbreaker that is easy to move around in and is similar to sportswear. The red waterproof fabric top has five or six pockets and a hood, and she wears a white high-necked wool sweater underneath.

She was wearing matching red and black casual pants, but she still kept her sneakers on. After a night of baking, the shoes that were completely soaked in blood had dried out. The dark and light colors looked mismatched. She still had a ponytail on her head, and overall she looked pure, lovely and full of energy.

Well, the most important thing is that the swelling on my head has gone down...

"Let's decide. Kitahara, Yukinoshita, and Ishikawa will form a team to go to the repair shop to find snow chains. I, Sho, and Yumiko will go to the underground garage. Ohga, Sawaga, and Ito will take Hanazawa and Nakain with you to clean up the zombies and corpses in the hotel. It will take some physical strength, so there will be five of you."

Hayato Hayama actually had his own little ideas behind this arrangement. Since Sho and Yumiko were in his group, he could go to the underground garage without being distracted and wouldn't have to worry about their safety all the time. Yukinoshita and Kitahara Sora obviously got along better, and plus, their physical fitness had been enhanced, so only they could do the most dangerous task. In order to prevent accidents, he specially arranged for Ishikawa Kazuto from the baseball club to go with them. Although that guy didn't seem to be very smart, he definitely had enough physical strength, at least he could run fast.

Although I know that there are some unpleasantness between Ohga Taiyo and Kitahara Sora, this is the only arrangement. From the simple contact, it can be seen that Kitahara Sora should not be a petty person.

After deliberately separating Ohga Taiyo and Ishikawa Ichi, he arranged for Sawaga Taisuke and Ito Makoto to dig the core with him in the hall to prevent them from having disagreements because of this. Because if only Ohga Taiyo was there, then if the core was found, Sawaga Taisuke would definitely take it in his hands, because they had agreed that this thing would be used after the other person was injured.

Another thing is that the two girls with a relatively low sense of presence need to get used to it as soon as possible, and it is a good choice to let them experience these things up close.

After Hayato Hayama finished speaking, Ohga Taiyo suddenly showed his big white teeth and smiled, then walked up to Kitahara Sora and put his hand on his shoulder, and said sincerely: "Kitahara-san, there are some misunderstandings between us. It was my fault before, so please forgive me. Xiaoyi is a fool, and he is sometimes very impulsive. Please forgive him for what happened before... It's more dangerous to go out this time, so please take care of me."

"I don't care." Kitahara Sora glanced at Ishikawa Ichi who looked a little embarrassed and said, "The first goal is for us to survive together. Don't think about those messy things."

"Thank you so much, Kitahara-san!"

Ohga Taiyo excitedly held Kitahara Sora's hand, his eyes moving back and forth between him and Yukinoshita Yukino: "Kitahara-san, Yukinoshita-san, from now on, please put aside your grudges."

Kitahara Sora chuckled in his heart, but his face remained indifferent. He gently opened his hand and said, "Our fates have been tied together from the beginning. Now we need to consider the team as a whole, not just ourselves. Ohga-san doesn't need to do this."

After looking at Ishikawa Ichi, Ohga Taiyo touched the back of his head and laughed as if to hide his embarrassment: "Ahaha - that's right, we have been a whole for a long time."

Yukinoshita began to take out 9mm bullets from the box and put them into the empty magazine of the submachine gun one by one. She had no time to pay attention to Ohga Taiyo and Kitahara Sora. When Ishikawa saw the secretive look in his senior's eyes, he suddenly ran to Yukinoshita with enthusiasm, wanting to help, but was politely rejected by Yukinoshita, who said that she didn't care about the previous misunderstanding, so he gave up.

Finally, Hayato Hayama walked up to Miyamoto Rei and spoke in a gentle tone: "Miyamoto-san, you should stay with Hirano-san so that you can take care of each other in case of any accidents. You have also seen that our lives are no longer under our control. I hope you can cheer up. It is also the last wish of Jinghao-san that you can live well."

Miyamoto Rei still looked a little depressed, but she was much better than yesterday. She glanced at Hirano Toda who was adjusting the sniper rifle by the window, nodded slightly and said, "I want to avenge Yong."

"We can only take revenge if we cheer up. We will also work hard to find the special infected person who escaped."

Hayato Hayama handed a pistol to Rei Miyamoto, turned around and said to everyone: "Let's start the action, everyone... don't let any more people die."

Hirano Toda broke a hole in the floor-to-ceiling window with a clang, and a cold wind blew in. After everyone walked out of the room one after another, Miyamoto Rei and Hirano Toda struggled to block the obstacle against the door.

On the way downstairs, they didn't encounter too many zombies. The occasional ones were chopped down by Da He Taiyang who was walking in front with a fire axe.

There were no more stairs going down to the second floor. Standing at the entrance of the stairs that were blown off, they saw the doomsday-like scene of broken limbs and arms almost filling up an entire floor. Miura Yumiko and the other two girls who did not participate in resisting the tide of corpses were already holding onto the wall and starting a vomiting competition.

Sawagenga Taisuke was not much better, his face was a little pale and he could barely stand, and if Makoto hadn't been supported by his brothers, he would have sat down on the ground.

At this time, they also saw the body of Jing Haoyong at the stairs. The gray and black body had been infected by the virus all over the body, but it no longer had the conditions to "wake up" again.

There was a bloody hole on his forehead and a large pool of blood exploded on the wall behind him. At this moment, he was so quiet as if he was asleep.

After a brief discussion, everyone decided to go around the corridor of the banquet hall and take the safety stairs on the other side to go down to the second floor. The boys moved the obstacles carefully, fearing to make the slightest sound. When Hayato Hayama opened the safety door, the zombie leaning behind the door fell straight down due to inertia. Before it could get up, it was chopped off the head by Taisuke Sawagenaga who was holding a fire axe.

Looking around, the hall was still filled with densely packed zombies. Having not found a target, they were not as aggressive as yesterday. Most of them just stood there in a daze or lay on the charred ground. The zombies outside did not continue to stick to the windows. They had either wandered away or stood there doing meaningless actions. But looking roughly, about two-thirds of the zombies outside the hotel were gone.

Hayato Hayama lit two Molotov cocktails, and Ohga Taiyo pulled the ring of a grenade and threw it directly into the center of the hall and immediately closed the door.

After the loud explosion, the hall became noisy and the zombies were alarmed and began to move towards the explosion point.

Then Ohga Taiyo opened the door again, and Hayato Hayama took the opportunity to throw the Molotov cocktail in his hand towards the stairs and the center of the hall.

The whistling sound of burning flames was heard, and more and more zombies were alarmed, but they were all attracted by the explosion just now, and rushed to the center of the explosion like moths to a flame. Even the zombies outside the hotel door began to rush in.

Kitahara Sora asked Hayama Hayato for a Molotov cocktail in case of emergency, then opened the window at the entrance of the corridor and climbed onto the windowsill.

Here, many zombies also crawled out of the snow and ran towards the hotel gate with their fangs and claws bared. Only after most of them left did Beiyuan Kong draw out his hunting bow and shoot the few slow-reacting zombies one by one.

"Then we are ready to go down."

After Kitahara Sora gave some instructions softly, he reached out and pulled Yukinoshita to the window sill. After the latter looked at the height from the ground, he jumped down directly.

Kitahara Sora's mouth twitched, and he looked at the girl who had fallen in the snow with great admiration. Perhaps it was because she had a clear feeling after her body was strengthened, or perhaps it gave her confidence. In any case, at a height of about three meters, Yukinoshita Yukino found the right position and jumped down without hesitation.

Although he fell into the mud when he landed, he immediately climbed up and brushed off the ice and snow on his body, and he didn't seem to be injured.

Kitahara Sora calmly took out the hemp rope from the backpack that Ishikawa handed over, handed one end to Hayato Hayama, tied it to the stair railing, and climbed down carefully...

It seems that this girl no longer cares about her image since she discovered the bump on her head yesterday. Is it her illusion?

After Kitahara landed, a snowball hit him on the head. Facing Yukinoshita Yukino's slightly ashamed and angry eyes, he said speechlessly: "Second Miss, your failed showmanship is none of my business, right?"

Yukinoshita pursed her lips, glared at him and her face turned slightly red. This guy seemed to really enjoy seeing her being humiliated, and every time he did it it seemed like he did it on purpose. What a terrible person!

After quickly brushing the snow off his face, Kitahara Sora pulled the arrow out of the forehead of the zombie he had just shot and put it back into the quiver. After Ishikawa came down, he looked up and made an OK gesture to Hayama Hayato who stuck his head out of the window and threw a fire axe down.

This thing is equipped at the fire-fighting facilities on each floor of the hotel, which is quite humane.

"The zombie tide has gathered all the zombies around, so don't worry about the zombies buried in the snow around you. After leaving the hotel, pay attention to the smoothness of the clean snow that has not been stepped on."

Kitahara Sora said softly, "We'll go over there in three minutes. Yukinoshita, you and I will walk together. I will shoot the zombies wandering along the way. Don't shoot unless it's absolutely necessary. Ishikawa-san, you walk in front with the axe, about 5 meters away from us."

"By the time we come back, the zombies around the hotel should have been almost cleared." Bei Yuankong glanced at the yellow school bus not far away. Due to the squeezing of a large number of zombies, the door had been slightly deformed, and there were also many zombies trapped around it.

"We'll clear the zombies around the school bus when we come back and see if the bus can still be started."

The two nodded and began to wait. When most of the zombies around the hotel were attracted, Kitahara Sora said, "Let's go. We'll go around the main road on the west side and try to stay within the range of Hirano-san's sniper scope."

2 Chapter The Style of That Arrow ()

The three of them stepped on the snow one step at a time. With every step, the snow would cover their calves, making a rustling sound. Soon their shoes were soaked, and the biting cold spread from the bottom to the top of their bodies.

There were quite a few zombies on the streets, all wandering around after the tide of corpses receded. Kitahara Sora had already shot and killed at least twenty or thirty standing zombies, but he only cleaned them up along the route they were advancing. Those lying on the ground were dealt with by Ishikawa Ichi, who walked in and took the arrows out of the zombies' heads.

Since eight arrows had been used up in the corridor and had been buried by zombies, they could not be retrieved. The system only sent thirty carbon arrows, and one hunting arrow head was also used on the violent charge. Therefore, compared to bullets, arrows were more scarce for Bei Yuankong.

Fortunately, the arrow body at this time is made of carbon material, which is more durable than the cheap fiberglass arrows. In the previous life, a bow friend in the same club used a fiberglass arrow with hidden damage to play with a strong bow. I still remember the scene of the arrow exploding and piercing my hand.

The temperature outside was extremely low, and the breath of the three people created white mist in the air. In order to facilitate their movements, the reinforced clothes of Yukinoshita were relatively thin. He only had one more tactical bulletproof vest under his coat than Kitahara Sora. Although Ishikawa Hajime was wearing thicker clothes, such as a down jacket and large cotton pants, he was still shivering from the cold.

After 20 minutes of difficult walking, the three finally reached the car repair shop. After getting rid of several zombies in the shop, Kitahara Sora looked up at the hotel a few hundred meters away. With enhanced vision, he could barely see the gap in the floor-to-ceiling window of the top-floor presidential suite. Hirano Toda was lying on the ground and observing here with a sniper scope.

"I'll go upstairs to the storage room to find anti-skid chains. You stay here to guard." Kitahara Sora shook off the snow on his feet. Looking at Ishikawa Ichi who had put the fire axe at his feet and took out the dagger submachine gun, he continued: "Be careful not to touch anything casually, especially the cars on the street. Don't attack the zombies if they don't notice you. Don't close the rolling door for easy retreat. Hirano-san can't see us now, so don't shoot unless it's absolutely necessary."

After saying that, Yukinoshita Yukino took off the mountaineering bag on her back and handed it to Kitahara Sora...

____________________________

At this time, Hayato Hayama and the other two had already arrived at the parking lot on the underground first floor. Due to the power outage, all the lights in the dim parking lot were out and it was pitch black. However, Hayama had expected all this. He took out a high-intensity flashlight found in the cleaning workshop on the 31st floor, pressed the switch, and handed it to Miura Yumiko.

Where the strong light shone, countless cars were seen parked in a disorderly manner in the aisle. Many of them were deformed due to the impact, and the ground was covered with oil, blood, and broken limbs. The zombies that were about to disperse were startled by the strong light and crawled up from the ground, roaring and rushing towards Ye Shan and others.

Yumiko Miura was trembling all over and her teeth were chattering, but she did not retreat at all. She stuck closely to Hayato Hayama, and the light source was also locked on the zombie.

Hayato Hayama and Sho Tobe looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes. Without moving the rifles on their backs, the two men pulled out their fire axes and chopped at the zombies' foreheads. As dull sounds rang out continuously, the zombies with their heads chopped open fell at their feet one by one.

Although it seems easy, close combat actually tests one's willpower the most, because if you are not careful and even get scratched, it is equivalent to being sentenced to death.

Pulling out the axe blade, the sticky touch of the axe handle and the blood splattering on their faces and bodies all tested the two men's psychological endurance. If the blood accidentally splashed into their eyes or mouths, there would definitely be no good consequences.

Also because the parking lot is large enough and the car exit is far from the safety stairs, when the zombie tide occurred, the zombies only hit the hotel gate on the ground and did not block the parking lot. The zombies that were originally here had already been attracted to the lobby, and the zombies that are still stagnant in the parking lot are almost all "disabled" people with hearing loss or other organ damage, so it is not very difficult for Ye Shan and the other two to deal with it now.

After clearing out the zombies in the surrounding dozens of square meters, Hayato Hayama walked to a red car, opened the fuel tank door, took a hose and an empty bottle from Miura Yumiko, then inserted the hose into the fuel tank, held the other end in his mouth and began to pump oil using the negative pressure method.

However, there was not much gasoline left in this car. The bottle I brought was empty before it was even half full. Helplessly, I had to change the car and continue working.

Hayato Hayama was responsible for pumping oil, and Sho Tobe was in charge of keeping watch. It took more than ten minutes, and only after three cars had been pumped out of the water did they manage to fill the 15-liter bucket that they had unloaded from the water dispenser.

Listening to the occasional explosions coming from upstairs, Ye Shan and the other two were actually very nervous. Even though they used grenades to lure all the zombies outside the hotel into the lobby, and then burned them all with AOE using Molotov cocktails, they dared to go down from the lobby to the parking lot.

But as the corpses piled higher and higher and the fire became more and more out of control, the three had no choice but to go down first. Because a large number of zombies had stayed in the hotel overnight, the snow water was almost dry, and the number of zombies outside was reduced, a fire could be caused if they were not careful.

So when the fire burned the zombies in the room and made them unable to move, and the zombies outside stopped pouring in, Ye Shan and others took the opportunity to jump down from the second floor. The next thing would be left to the people upstairs. I hope they don't need to use guns.

The escaped special infected tentacle monster 'Smoker' is also confirmed to be around the hotel or indoors.

As Hayato Hayama pinched the hose, pulled it out and tied it with a simple bottle cap made with a girl's rubber band, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. Hayato Hayama held the bucket, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said softly, "Okay, let's go back."

After saying this, she stood up and turned the light towards the exit.

only……

Suddenly, the originally quiet parking lot was shrouded by a voice. The long voice came from not far away, causing Ye Shan and others who were about to return to pause, and the three people's heartbeats suddenly started violently at the same time.

That was a cry...

A young woman crying...

The sound was intermittent until it was clearly transmitted to their eardrums.

The woman's voice was clear and melodious, as if carrying endless sadness and loneliness, which made people want to rub the owner of this voice into their chest and gently stroke her head to comfort and pity her, because it sounded too fragile. The owner of the voice was like a fragile crystal, which would shatter the man's chest with the slightest touch.

But Hayato Hayama and others did not feel any sympathy at this time, because endless fear filled their hearts.

because……

Witch!
