As the gunfire died down, a zombie wearing a rugby uniform and running in a straight line with Yukinoshita Yukino fell down in the middle of a rapid sprint and slid onto Yukinoshita Yukino's heel due to inertia.

But the arrow was stuck in its temple!

Beiyuan Kong let out a breath, turned around and gave a thumbs up to the top floor of the hotel behind him.

"Faker can't save you no matter how dumb you are!"

Kitahara Sora's roar woke up Yukinoshita. She rushed towards Kitahara Sora desperately, only to see him take out a bottle of strange green liquid from his waist. After pressing the top buckle, a green smoke with a nauseating smell floated in the air.

"Run, as fast as you can!"

Kitahara Sora shouted and started running for his life, holding the bottle of strange green liquid in his hand. As he ran quickly, green smoke floated behind him, leaving a long smoke trail similar to that of an old coal steam locomotive.

The zombies became more and more violent, and they rushed towards the smoke behind him, biting and devouring each other in the air.

The two ran all the way towards the hotel. During the time, the sound of sniper rifles on the top floor of the hotel continued to be heard. The heads of the faster zombies shattered and exploded as soon as they climbed up.

The running of Kitahara Sora and the other person also alarmed all the zombies on the road. They ran past as fast as the wind, and then the zombies on both sides or in the middle of the road slowly got up and began to follow the trail of the smoke.

It took nearly a minute to run to the hotel gate to cover a distance of several hundred meters, especially since it was inconvenient to move in the snow. This was because Kitahara Sora deliberately controlled his speed, otherwise Yukinoshita Yukino would not be able to catch up. Although he had strengthened his body and his endurance had improved, and he no longer gasped for breath easily, his speed had not increased much.

Bei Yuankong turned his head with ease to look at the long train behind him. Why did he feel an inexplicable sense of relief at this critical moment?

Is this what waves feel like?

He looked up at the bile that was raised high, and then looked at the group of zombies chasing him.

Kitahara Ojide suppressed the surge of excitement in his heart. So this was the feeling after the Alchemist had unleashed his ultimate power. This feeling was really... a bit cool.

As soon as he ran to the hotel gate, he threw the remaining half-grade green liquid in his hand into the distance, attracting all the zombies to an open space not far away. Then he lit the Molotov cocktail he had asked Hayato Hayama for and threw it at the frenzied group of zombies.

"Let's go, what are you still looking at." Kitahara Sora patted Yukinoshita Yukino's shoulder gently, pulling her back to her senses: "I played like this when I was chased by Wuqing Tieshao before, basic operation."

Yukinoshita ignored the strange phrase that suddenly came out of this guy's mouth, and asked in a daze: "Kitahara-kun, what is that?"

"Kryptonite items."

Kitahara Sora answered casually, and then his stomach suddenly churned, and he held his stomach and began to dry heave.

Why is there no reaction at all to killing zombies, but such a big reaction to this kind of thing?

Oh shit!

I cursed in my heart, my reaction time is too long, I am only just starting now...

That’s why I don’t want to kill anyone. This feeling is very bad.

Chapter 28: Thank You

"Why? Why! Why!"

Da He Taiyang tightly grasped Kitahara Sora's shoulders with both hands, his eyes red, and he shouted at him in a choked voice, "Why is it that every time I go out with you, the ones who die are my juniors and my friends!"

"Why is it that you always come back safe and sound? Kitahara classmate, didn't you promise me to take care of Xiaoyi? Why did he die? Please tell me why!"

Kitahara Sora looked expressionlessly at Da He Taiyang, who was on the verge of collapse and covered in blood, without saying a word.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing at this time, and no one was willing to take the initiative to adjust the atmosphere.

Tobe Sho died, beheaded by a slap from the witch. Hayama Hayato killed the witch by chance with the intention of dying together with her. The moment the witch held him in her arms, he stuffed a grenade into her mouth and then pushed her away with all his strength.

However, he luckily survived, but his injuries were so severe that he lost one-third of his body. The witch tore his right arm into two halves, connecting his side waist and abdomen, just like the "hand-torn devils" in the drama.

When Miura Yumiko, with lifeless eyes and a dull face, held up his body with part of its body missing and one side of its ribs completely exposed, and when he appeared in front of everyone covered in blood, Ohga Taiyo quickly took him from Miura Yumiko's back and carried him on his back without a care.

But even in such a miserable state, Hayato Hayama was still holding on to his breath, because he held in his hand a core emitting golden light. The core locked his blood, and it had already begun to repair itself when Ohga Taiyo put him on his back and walked towards the top floor.

Yasusuke Sawaonaga died to protect Makoto Ito and Tomoka Nakain.

When the zombie tide came, some zombies broke into the door of the presidential suite. Sawagenaga Taisuke had saved Ina Yuka's life at that time, so she had developed a good impression of Sawagenaga Taisuke yesterday. If it weren't for him, it wouldn't be Touhara Rika who died at that time.

After they burned most of the zombies inside the door, they found two large shovels in the kitchen and began to dig the bodies in the middle of the steps. Their goal was to find the buried core.

When they were halfway through digging, a zombie that was not completely dead and was buried in the pile of charred corpses suddenly jumped up and pounced on Ito Makoto in front of him. At the critical moment, Sawagenga Taisuke knocked him away. The zombie's whole body had been burned black, and only a black skull was left on its face.

After Sawano Taisuke blocked it, Nakain Yuuka, who was beside Ito Makoto, stood there in shock. In the emergency, Sawano Taisuke's mind went blank, and he freed one hand to push her. It was during this moment of distraction that he was bitten on the wrist by the burnt zombie.

The zombie died, and its head was placed in Sawano Taisuke's hand and it never moved again, but Sawano Taisuke took his last breath before death.

When Ohga Taiyo, who was in charge of guarding, also started to participate in the excavation work, Sawaga Taisuke, who was leaning against the wall, already felt his consciousness becoming blurred. So he couldn't wait for his companions to dig up the pile of corpses that was like a small hill. He barely squeezed out the words "Makoto, Nakain-san, you must live well for me" from between his teeth, and then shot himself.

After the gunshot, the core covered with dark dirt began to reveal a hint of golden light.

The girl named Hanazawa Chinana also died. She was so frightened that she chose to flee in a panic. She closed her eyes and rushed to the swimming pool, where she was eaten alive by zombies...

All the living people returned to the room on the top floor again. Hayato Hayama was placed on the luxurious and soft big bed, and Yumiko Miura stayed by his bedside, guarding him closely.

Everyone just took a look at this miraculous scene of his body tissue regeneration and no one was in the mood to watch it anymore. Hirano Toda and Miyamoto Rei were pressing bullets into the empty magazines that everyone had collected beside the weapon box.

Makoto Ito and Tomoka Nakain were squatting on one side, both of them had been crying for a long time.

At this time, no one spoke except Da He Taiyang who roared at Kitahara Sora with questioning, and Kitahara Sora just looked back at him quietly without intending to explain anything.

"Ohga-san, what happened to Ishikawa-san was an accident..."

Yukinoshita spoke, and she made an empty explanation on behalf of Kitahara. Ohga Taiyo turned his head and glanced at Yukinoshita Yukino. This was the first time she took the initiative to speak to him in the three days they had been together. A cold tone came out of her mouth, but her face was turned to the side, and she didn't even look at him.

She lied, the first time in her life.

So Yukinoshita inadvertently revealed her little habit, and Kitahara Sora knew that this was the action she would display whenever she wanted to escape or had strong psychological activities.

She would not tell the secret that Ishikawa Hajime was killed by Kitahara Sora, because when this happened Kitahara Sora also thought about saving him, and even tacitly left the Smoker's core to him, but he was unlucky and his tendons were bitten off.

On their way back, Kitahara Sora also said that he had originally planned to pick up the core, and would definitely give it to him once it was safe.

The most important thing is that Kitahara Sora chose to kill Ishikawa Ichi in order to save himself. At that time, the door of the repair shop could definitely not block the alarmed group of zombies. But if Ishikawa Ichi chose to stay and close the rolling door, and Kitahara Sora attracted all the zombies on the street away, he might not have to die.

However, Ishikawa Hajime's mind had been taken over by fear, and he could only blame himself for what happened.

"Accident? What accident? Yukinoshita-san, can you tell me what kind of accident happened?"

Ohga Taiyo let go of Kitahara Sora's shoulders, walked up to Yukinoshita Yukino and smiled, but the brighter his smile, the more tears flowed: "Yukinoshita-san, are you finally willing to talk to me? Why do I feel like you hate me? Can you tell me why you hate me? Why don't you... look at me when you talk..."

Ohga Taiyo stretched out his hand and wanted to grab Yukinoshita's arm to find out what was going on, but she turned aside and dodged him again.

"Yukinoshita doesn't hate you, she just has this weird personality."

"She was able to talk to me because our two families knew each other and had business dealings." Beiyuan Kong suddenly interrupted and said, "Even so, did you see that she was particularly nice to me?"

"As for Ishikawa Ichi, he was careless and had his leg bitten off by a zombie. There is no reason for me to risk my life to save him. Besides, I never promised to help you take care of him from the beginning. Is this an acceptable reason?"

After hearing Kitahara Sora's explanation, Yukinoshita Yukino looked at him with a complicated look and a hint of anger, but she didn't explain anything and just turned around and left.

Da He Taiyang was stunned, and didn't care about Yukinoshita who had already walked away. He just stared blankly at Kitahara Sora who had a cold face.

Then he suddenly laughed, he covered his face with his hands, slowly squatted down, and began to sob while laughing: "Haha, yes, the problem of Xiaoyi's death is not Kitahara-san, he was careless..."

"All my friends are dead, all because of carelessness and negligence... I am the only one who is still alive..."

Da He Taiyang murmured to himself, "Yes, Kitahara-san didn't promise to take care of Xiaoyi from the beginning. All this is an accident."

But why is it that every time my friend dies, it has something to do with you?

Whether it’s Yosuke or Xiaoyi, why do their deaths have your shadow?

Even Junichiro died in your hands after he turned into that monster...

They are all dead, and I am the only one left...

Did you do this on purpose? Did you arrange all this?

Why are you targeting us? Is it because Junichiro left you and ran away? But you are still alive and well, aren't you?

With a hand on his shoulder, Ohga Taiyo slowly raised his haggard face and found Hirano Toda looking at him with a worried look.

"It's okay, Hirano-san, I'm... okay now."

Looking at Kitahara Sora's departing back, Da He Taiyang smiled, still with a sunny face and a mouthful of bright white teeth.

He smiled and patted the hand on his shoulder, as if everything in the past was over.

He smiled, and reached into his pocket, holding the core of the Ramblers, and squeezed it tightly.

____________________

Kitahara Sora was sitting alone in the window gap smoking, this was the place where Hirano Toda shot and saved his life.

He saw himself through the sniper scope drawing the bow and aiming at Yukinoshita, and despite extreme embarrassment and surprise, he still locked his target on the zombies that were attacking him.

It's afternoon again. Someone died in today's operation. People die every day. Someone loses his life in every small group.

It really confirmed my guess. If it was really a Left 4 Dead setting, I don’t know if I could survive even a week, let alone three months.

I don’t know if the special infected people who have been killed will be refreshed repeatedly like in the game. If that is the case, the road ahead will be even more difficult.

The sudden zombie tide yesterday was like a warning from the system to the players. It was forcing everyone and wanted to keep everyone on the brink of death. If they chose to be at ease, special events similar to the zombie tide would continue to occur.

The cold wind blew in, and although the bone-chilling cold was not enough to make people shiver all over, it made Beiyuan Kong feel extremely depressed in his heart, as if a sword of Damocles was always hanging above his head.

"What are you thinking about?"

A soft and tender voice came from my ears with a cold and temperatureless tone. This contradictory sound was the unique accent of her mouth.

Yukinoshita slowly sat down next to Kitahara Sora, staring into the snowy distance.

"Not angry anymore?" Beiyuan Kong threw the cigarette butt through the gap and replied softly.

Yukinoshita was angry that Kitahara Sora saw it, but he chose to ignore it, because in the original book, this kind of behavior of her "Great Teacher" was something that the girl was very disgusted with.

She shook her head slightly, and after a moment of silence, she said, "This shouldn't be something you have to bear alone."

Kitahara Sora can face the horrific scenes of countless disgusting and cruel broken limbs flying around without changing his expression, but after killing Ishikawa Ichi, he would hold his stomach and retch.

Killing zombies and killing their own kind are two different concepts, because zombies are no longer human beings, they have no thoughts, no warmth, and are even worse than wild beasts, so there is no psychological pressure in killing them.

——But even though Ishikawa Hajime had been infected, he was still a human being at that time.

I am also largely responsible for this matter. If it were not for me, Kitahara Sora might not have chosen to kill Ishikawa Ichi. If he hadn't killed him, Kitahara Sora would not have carried the psychological burden of murder. Although he didn't say anything, judging from the way he was holding the wall and vomiting, he should have been in great pain.

But if he didn't take action, could he have solved the crisis on his own?

I shot Junichiro Inoue because he posed a threat to me and I fired the warning shot out of extreme panic. Even so, I never intended to kill him.

But Ishikawa Hajime was asking for help from him. He cried and begged him to save him. In this situation, if Kitahara Sora had not killed him without hesitation and he did not have the courage to kill anyone, the worst result would be that he would be buried with him.

In that situation, even if Kitahara Sora abandoned them and ran away alone, it cannot be said that he did anything wrong. After all, when life and death are at stake, even the closest people may do the worst things in human nature, not to mention that Kitahara Sora and himself are only verbal "allies", and before coming here, he and he hated each other.

But he did it. Not only did he make this most extreme choice without hesitation, but he also pulled himself back from the brink of death at the most critical moment. In other words, he never considered giving up and escaping alone.

That's why after Kitahara Sora made the "clarification", Yukinoshita Yukino got angry. It was clearly she who dragged him down, but he had shouldered all of this.

"It's not a matter of resistance or not. Even without me telling you, Da He Taiyang can guess what the situation is. He just can't accept it because all his younger brothers' accounts are gone."

Ohga Taiyo could indeed guess it, but he could not guess that Ishikawa Ichi was actually beaten to death by Kitahara Sora while he was still alive. His mentality was actually the same as Miyamoto Rei's. He was just seeking inner comfort out of his impotent rage. At first, he only acted very painful, but he was able to suppress the sadness in his heart.

But Ishikawa Hajime's death was the last straw that broke the camel's back, because he was the last one.

It's just like the plot of the most classic movie "Saving Private Ryan". The country cannot let a mother receive four death notices in one afternoon. But sympathy is sympathy. Although we don't know how deep his feelings for his younger friend are, he is behaving very dangerously at this time. It seems that we have to find an opportunity to deal with him.

"This is different, Kitahara-san."

Yukinoshita wanted to say something, but seemed to be hesitant. After a long while, she stammered, "I've been thinking about it, and I found that I can't let you bear this responsibility alone, but it seems that I can't do anything..."

Kitahara Sora looked at her perfect profile seriously, because her face had never faced her from beginning to end. She was conflicted inside. For a child who grew up in a worldview of a peaceful era, how big could the evil be that she could encounter in her daily life?

It was nothing more than some boring bullying, so when someone was responsible for killing someone for her, she felt extremely remorseful and guilty, yet very grateful, but she didn't know what to do.

"Do all girls have such rich psychological activities like you, Yukinoshita-san?"

Kitahara Sora still maintained a calm attitude, but there was a hint of teasing in his tone: "I have never been in a relationship, nor have I had close female friends, so I can't understand."

"Everyone is experiencing this for the first time, so I think you should slowly get used to facing death." Kitahara Sora's expression suddenly became stern, and his tone was serious: "Why don't you imagine what choice I would make if you and Ishikawa switched identities, or if Miura Yumiko was dragging you down?"

Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes slowly widened, and she felt a little shaken inside. She didn't dare to think about that because she was afraid to recall her own mental activities when Kitahara Sora aimed the bow and arrow at her.

"I killed him not because I disliked him, nor because I had to save you. You should know why he fell into danger."

Yukinoshita slowly turned her head and looked at Kitahara Sora's clear and calm eyes, and listened to him continue: "I said that if I agree to cooperate with you, it means that I am willing to trust you and form an alliance with you in private. You also have my recognition. In this environment, the only thing you can give to your teammates is unconditional trust. If you are attacked by zombies because of your carelessness, then I will not save you. If this is the case, you are unqualified as a teammate... Ishikawa Hajime put my teammate in danger because of his own reasons. Who do you think is more important in my eyes, his life or yours?"

"I think you should see it clearly. I want to survive, so I don't have a serious psychological burden like you guessed. I am just following my inner choice, so don't worry about these little things."

"Is that right?"
