A youth story of a passerby at the end of the world

"Don't say anything, idiot." The companion shouted back.

"I'll be able to go back to sleep soon." Thinking of the warm bed, the boy lowered his head and looked at his watch.

"Well, I feel like my biological clock is reversed." From 12 midnight to 6 am, this is their duty time. The guard time at night is much shorter, which is a very humane arrangement.

Besides, at least there is someone to chat with at night. I don’t dare to sleep, but I can talk.

There was a sound of rustling leaves, which didn't sound like wind.

"You just..." "Did you hear..."

The two of them confirmed with each other at the same time, and as they spoke, the sound of the rustling leaves became more intense.

"......" The two looked at each other, they did not forget their duties.

Generally speaking, when a situation occurs, the first person to be suspected is the person who should be suspected.

They looked in the direction of Inage Seaside Park. Only here was there a green belt separating the park from the road.

The sound of leaves I heard just now, when I think about it carefully, was probably not leaves, but branches of bushes or something.

Something came up to suit the situation.

A zombie with a miserable and terrifying smile crawled out of the bushes, its clothes covered with leaves. It didn't come so easily.

The reason why the smile is miserable is because it is showing its teeth. To describe that expression as a smile, one must add an adjective to avoid any misunderstanding.

Knew it!!!

-----------------

"Well, that's what happened." After learning the details, the cause and effect of the matter became clear.

Uesugi Genshin took a bite of a sandwich in the student union room. The food was just delivered yesterday, but it was immediately on the menu today. The people in the cooking department are very proactive.

"They were talking too loudly at night and attracted the zombies."

Zombies will not stay in one place all the time. They will move unconsciously and move towards that place unconsciously when they hear a faint sound.

Little by little throughout the day, I could always sense someone on the other side of the trees.

"That may be the case." Hayasaka Ai submitted what her boss had assigned her to do in the morning when he first learned about the matter, which was to draft a proposal.

After taking it, Uesugi Genshin handed it to Yukinoshita Yukino.

"What is this?" Yukinoshita Yukino frowned, while Isshiki Iroha kept looking alternately at Uesugi Genshin and Yukinoshita Yukino.

"About preparations for the reserve." Uesugi Genshin quickly stuffed the food in his hand into his mouth and chewed the crumbs on his fingers.

"We can't rely on the people in the execution department every time. Anyone involved in going out should have the most basic combat capabilities. In a one-on-one situation, they should at least be able to pick up weapons and kill zombies." He explained.

"So, a reward of 6 copper coins for one zombie head per day, how about that?"

People who are not in the executive department can get the money if they kill a zombie alone in the afternoon with the accompaniment of people from the executive department.

Two of them are hard work fees for the executive department staff, in case of any accidents.

What's left is also the minimum daily salary for a department. By this calculation, it is equivalent to one person receiving two salaries.

And to prove that the head of the zombie is difficult to get and useless even if you get it, the zombie's left ear is used instead. How humane.

"As long as you can muster up the courage." It is easy and difficult to take, but someone should take the money.

Yukinoshita Yukino asked worriedly, "Is it dangerous?"

"Slow-moving zombies won't be very dangerous. Just one of them won't pose a threat." said Uesugi Genshin.

"Yes." Yukinoshita Yukino put her slender fingers on her chin, "It can probably be done."

"Yeah." Uesugi Genshin smiled, "I'm going to take a nap. We still have some action in the afternoon."

When passing by Hayasaka Ai, he reminded her, "Remember to arrive in the afternoon."

"I understand." This should be her first outing as a member of the executive department.

Chapter 140: Black Humor

They were still driving the same small light truck, but this shiny car had become the standard for the executive department's large-scale outings.

Except that the noise is a bit loud, but since we are driving, the noise is not a problem.

There was also a Wrangler jeep, driven by the executive director himself, with his direct staff.

Drive along the coastal road, Seaside Avenue, until you reach the end, where you will see sea piers.

Because we are not sure which ship is exactly available, we probably need to make a circle around Xingang from here.

The car turned a corner, headed back the way it came, and stopped on the empty roadside.

There were no zombie corpses along the way because they had been cleaned up by the scavengers of the "corpse collection team".

By default, it is your own private land, a place you visit frequently. You can't let it be filled with flies and maggots.

And we need to find something for them to do so as not to waste manpower.

"Get out of the car." Uesugi Genshin turned off the car and said to the two girls in the car.

"Yeah." Hayasaka Ai responded calmly in the co-pilot seat. Her poker face made it unclear what she was thinking, but... this seemed to indicate that she had entered a capable state.

"We're almost there." Sakurajima Mai revealed what she was thinking at the moment. It was indeed too fast, because it was too close, it was not far away to begin with.

But if you really walk, it may take more than ten minutes, because there are no extra traffic lights, it is just a straight route, and driving seems much faster.

"Yeah, I understand this feeling very well." Uesugi Genshin, who kept nodding, yawned. On the other side of the road, Hachiman had already gotten out of the light truck and started calling people.

“It’s like looking at the clock in the afternoon and realizing that my midday sleep has just passed, and I want to sleep a little longer.”

"You just want to sleep in!" Sakurajima Mai raised her head in silence and gave Uesugi Genshin a blank look through the rearview mirror.

"It's almost the same." He didn't feel there was any difference.

They also got out of the car and looked at the words "No Fireworks Allowed" posted on the mesh fence of the building on the left.

"Isn't this an oil storage facility?" Hayasaka Ai, wearing a raincoat, said to Uesugi Genshin.

"Yes, it seems to be an oil and gas company under Marubeni." Uesugi Genshin nodded and pointed to the way they came. "Next door seems to be the oil storage facility of Narita Airport."

It is Narita, not Haneda. Narita International Airport is located in Narita City, Chiba Prefecture, an inland city, while Haneda Airport is located in Ota Ward, Tokyo, near Kanagawa.

"In that case..." Hayasaka Ai raised her head slightly and thought, "Isn't that an oil tanker anchored here?"

"Well, let's wait and see. Although we only need a small cargo ship, it may not be that smooth."

If you can't find it, you'll have to make do with other boats.

"Action?" Hachiman walked over.

"Action." Uesugi Genshin put his hand on the hilt of the knife.

Hachiman began to give orders, "Zaimokuza in front, Hadano on the right, Sagami on the left."

He himself is on the right, so the division of forward, defender, left wing and right wing is completed.

Uesugi Genshin and his men stood at the back, and the team began to move forward.

This is a place that we have never been to before, so naturally there will be a lot of zombies.

There is a dead end ahead. At the end of the south is a wall, and outside is the sea. You need to enter the company's area on the left before you can walk from west to east.

As a result, as soon as I entered, three zombies ran towards me. They were wearing blue work clothes and had black and red blood on their bodies.

"Here they come, here they come!" Zaimokuza Yoshiki made an excited, chuunibyou voice, raised the baseball bat high, and walked forward with his team members in tacit understanding, each of them taking one, and they solved the problem quickly and neatly.

"Keep moving forward." Hachiman instructed the Zaimokuza team to continue moving forward.

Each group is separated by several meters, leaving appropriate space without being too scattered.

Between several huge oil tanks on the left, the zombies twisted their bodies at the same time and "looked" over here with the whites of their eyes.

Then he ran over here and knocked a zombie to the ground with a stick.

If I have free time, I will help others share the pressure, at least everyone's moves are deadly.

He wiped the blood off the stick head on his zombie blue work clothes. Hachiman also learned bad habits.

"If all these can be used." Hayasaka Ai turned her head and looked at the oil tank.

"It will definitely work." Uesugi Genshin also looked over there with his blue eyes and replied.

Even if there is a power outage, as long as we find a generator, the gasoline here can last for a long time.

"It's different from what I thought." Hachiman murmured as he looked at the arriving pier.

"Yes, a little bit." Deputy Captain Shiroyama also agreed.

Probably because it faces the sea, the wall did not disappear because of the pier. Instead, a staircase was built to cross it.

Looking at the metal stairs that only one person can pass through, Uesugi Genshin led Hayasaka Ai, Sakurajima Mai, and Hachiman up. After passing the breakwater, they were truly suspended in the sea.

"It's indeed an oil tanker." Hayasaka Ai said, listening to the sound of waves under her feet.

"How is it?" Hachiman asked Xuanxin.

Uesugi Genshin closed his eyes, "Ha. Let's go to the next place."

"That's all." Hachiman had no objection and decided to just turn around once.

Just like that, we continued to move forward and walked to the next pier. It was no different from before. The ship was different, but it was not a small cargo ship either.

When turning from south to north, there was no ship docked at the third offshore pier at all, but the breakwater ended there, and the tsunami would not rush towards the back anyway.

Going further, we reached the edge of the facility and in front was the road between the districts.

The company opposite the wall should be related to the construction site. There are rows of yellow excavators parked inside.

"Climb over the wall?" Hachiman suggested.

"Yeah." Uesugi Genshin agreed. There was no need to go back the same way if they could just go over there.

They threw the weapons over first, and then the people in Qin Ye's group grabbed the grid, climbed to the top, flipped over, clapped their hands, picked up the weapons on the ground and stood on guard.

"No abnormalities." "Safe."

Others climbed over the wall in the same way.

Hayasaka Ai wore sportswear under her raincoat, so she didn't have to worry about exposing herself. The same was true for Sakurajima Mai, who wore the same loose yellow jacket she used to wear with pants on the lower body. It seemed that she liked this one very much.

After crossing the excavator factory, you can walk directly along the sea. There are no obstructing walls and you can directly see the other side. The other side is also a new port, but unlike this side, which is an artificial peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides, the other side is directly land, next to the Central Port in the central area.

"One, two, three, four..." Zaimokuza Yoshiteru placed his palm across his forehead and counted. There were five ships parked on the other side.

"Do we have to go to the other side?" Qin Ye pushed his glasses, not very interested, after all, he had to take a detour.

"Anyway, let's just keep walking forward for a while." Hachiman didn't say much.

It was difficult to see his side from here, so Zaimokuza Yoshiki lay on the ground, asking his teammates to hold him down and not let him fall into the sea, then tilted his head to look to the left, hoping to see something.

"I seem to see that there is a ship ahead." Although Zaimokuza Yoshiki's posture was indecent, it worked.

"Really?" Hachiman also climbed down in the same posture. If you smell carefully, you can smell the salty and wet smell of the sea water below.

"I can't see clearly." Zaimokuza Yoshiki narrowed his eyes.

"It seems to be a logistics company ahead." Hayasaka Ai opened the map.

"That's right." Uesugi Genshin laughed, finally getting some clues.

Then they started moving in that direction. In fact, on the second horizontal road, at the end of the road, there was a small cargo ship docked on the pier that met Uesugi Genshin's psychological expectations.

When I went to the boat, the figures on the boat started moving. When a zombie saw someone approaching, he "excitedly" fell off the boat.

His forehead hit the shore, and then he fell into the sea in the opposite direction, with a "splash" and splashing water.

There was a semicircular mark of fresh blood on the edge. If it were a human, he would have been bleeding headfirst, but the zombie was already dead.

Uesugi Genshin took a closer look and saw that the sea was calm with only waves gently lapping against the shore.

Ah..., although the sea purifies everything.

"I can't eat sashimi anymore."

It is best to cook seafood thoroughly before eating.
