Chapter 141: Pessimism and Optimism

"Do you want to fish it out?" Hachiman asked tentatively.

What will happen to a zombie that falls into the sea?

Or what would happen to animals if they were infected with the zombie virus?

do not know.

Logically speaking, the corpse would be eaten by large scavengers first, and then shared by smaller scavengers. There should be no sharks in Tokyo Bay, but usually crabs, lobsters and the like.

"If possible." Uesugi Genshin didn't care much. He didn't believe that no zombies had fallen into Tokyo Bay in the past half month.

The microorganisms in the sea can absorb and degrade organic waste, thereby reducing the content of pollutants. Now that human pollution in the world has basically stopped, the speed at which the sea can be repaired can finally exceed the speed at which humans can destroy it.

Viruses cannot survive long outside the cells of other organisms. As long as they are not passed down like the big fish eating the small fish, there is no big problem.

"Ahh..." Hachiman squatted down and shook his head, mourning for the unfortunate zombie.

He stood up and looked at the cargo ship again. It was not big, most likely a thousand-ton ship sailing on the ocean or inland rivers.

"Qin Ye."

"exist!"

"You go first."

"Yes!"

There were some containers on the deck, obstructing the view.

"Let's split up." Uesugi Genshin turned his head and looked to the right.

"Yes." Hachiman agreed, then discussed with Uesugi Genshin, and finally decided to divide the troops into three groups.

Hachiman and Sagami went to the left, Zaimokuza and Hadano went to the right, and Uesugi Genshin led his men to look at the bridge.

"Clean the deck thoroughly, then reunite. Pay attention to the entrance leading below the deck," said Uesugi Genshin.

"Yes Yes."

"Yes, sir." This voice was shouted by Zaimokuza Yoshiteru.

“…” Zaimokuza, are you serious?

Genshin Uesugi took Mai Sakurajima and Ai Hayasaka to the bridge at the stern of the ship.

The knife was pulled out slowly, held in the backhand, with the blade facing forward.

Behind him, Mai Sakurajima was staring at the movement on the left, waiting to see if anything happened.

The sound of scattered footsteps made the three of them stop, and even after they stopped, the sound was still there.

"In front." Uesugi Genshin said.

There is at least one zombie in the blind spot blocked by the container.

Holding the hilt of the sword with his left and right hands and twisting the blade, Uesugi Genshin took a few steps forward. As the perspective moved, the hidden part gradually revealed itself.

The crew member in orange overalls turned his neck stiffly and met his eyes. Not just one, but two!

Mai Sakurajima and Ai Hayasaka simultaneously jumped over Genshin Uesugi's body and faced the zombies' attack.

The baseball bat with iron nails on it was swung at the zombie's head. With the sound of a head explosion, blood foam splattered all over the ground.

All killed in one blow.

Uesugi Genshin looked around and after confirming that there was nothing unusual around him, he let down his guard and resumed holding the knife with one hand.

"Let's go." He stepped onto the stairs and walked in front. It was safer for him to lead in the narrow space.

I came to the door of the second floor, grasped the white door handle, turned it, and the door opened.

It was unusually quiet inside the door and seemed safe.

The captain's room is also on this floor, but there are three zombies wandering around in front of the door.

How do you know this is the captain's room?

Because there is only one living room on this floor, and it is not small and the layout is also good.

Living here on the ship is much more comfortable than living below deck. At least you can see the blue sky by opening the window.

But...

After Uesugi Genshin leaped and killed three zombies, he opened the door and saw the man hanging in front of the window.

There was a blue sky outside, and the sunlight shone through the window into the dark room. People's shadows were cast on the wall, making it look very lonely.

The three men looked up in silence at the man on the rope, which was swaying slightly, but the ship on the sea was not motionless.

Sakurajima Mai's lips moved slightly and she opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. Looking at her skinny appearance, she must have been hungry for a long time and finally hanged herself.

There is direct drinking water on the boat, so people can survive a week without food.

She finally sighed slowly, it would be useless if they came earlier.

There was a foul smell in the air, and even though the windows were open, the disgusting smell still lingered there.

Uesugi Genshin walked around the corpse and picked up the folded white letter paper on the table. The smell was more obvious. It was different from the smell of the corpse itself, but the smell of feces and urine.

It is possible that a person will become incontinent when dying, so a ceremony to prepare the remains is necessary.

He unfolded the paper and took a look at it. "It is a suicide note for sure."

When I looked up at the man again, his eyes were half open, his mouth slightly open, and the sides of his face were sunken, looking no different from a mummy.

Uesugi Genshin folded the letter in half and put it in his pocket. There was no need to show it to the two of them. It was full of pessimistic words, the last cry before death, and basically all negative emotions.

Besides the part about his family, it was useless to say anything more since he wasn't from Chiba.

"Let's go." After checking that there were no zombies in the inner room, Uesugi Genshin returned to the door and said to the two people who were standing there in a daze.

"Aren't you going to put him down?" Hayasaka Ai asked, turning around.

Uesugi Genshin, who was standing at the door, stopped and said, "That's not our job."

He took one last look at the body and left the captain's cabin.

Then he checked all the rooms one by one, and found no zombies in uninhabited places.

When they reached the top floor’s control deck, two zombies in white clothes saw the living people in front of them without turning their heads and ran towards them.

"I'll do it." Taking the lead, Mai Sakurajima walked quickly to the right and swung the stick diagonally, knocking the zombie away, crashing it against the wall on the left, and blood smeared a little on the window.

Uesugi Genshin cut off the neck of the other one, and its head rolled to the ground, with blood flowing in a line from the severed end.

After using the navigation equipment, we reached the other end and there was no other zombie.

All that remains is to confirm that all the stairs are clear, and the bridge will be cleared.

"The deck has been confirmed." Hachiman was waiting under the bridge. When he saw Uesugi Genshin come out, he stepped forward to report.

"Then let's go down and take a look." Uesugi Genshin hammered the blade of the sword and shook off the blood on the sword to prevent it from dripping onto his clothes.

Below are the engine room, cargo hold, crew room, kitchen, etc.

The members of Team Hachiman took over, moving forward in groups, and searched the area below.

In the crew room, Sagami conveniently closed an open laptop and shouted to the captain outside, "This one is safe."

"Yeah." Hachiman nodded and took a few steps forward.

"It's safe here too." Qin Ye poked his head out from another room.

When Sagami in front opened a new room, he quickly stepped back, holding up a baseball bat and standing on guard. A zombie quickly jumped out of the room, and then was knocked to the ground, and the team members smashed it to death on the ground.

"It's solved." Sagami shouted over here.

At the same time, there was a sound of banging on the door in the corridor. The zombies in a room heard the noise outside and started picking at their door. The zombies would not open the door.

"This one." Hachiman led his men to a door, and Shiroyama walked forward with a fire axe to open the door.

He nodded to Hachiman, then slowly turned the doorknob and opened it suddenly, making a crashing sound as if it hit something.

Chengshan rushed in and nailed the zombie to the ground with an axe, splitting its spine in half.

There is no doubt that the zombies cannot move.

Uesugi Genshin and the others came to the kitchen, which was empty and things were neatly arranged.

In order to cope with the turbulence at sea, various kitchen utensils are fixed, and there are guardrails around the stove, but there is no pot on it.

I turned on the faucet and water gushed out. I leaned forward and smelled it, but there was no peculiar smell.

They had just seen that the drinking water here had been purified by multiple devices similar to the water purifier below, converting seawater into drinkable mineral water.

When you open the refrigerator, you can see beef stacked together. You can tell it is beef by looking at the red texture.

Uesugi Genshin glanced at the stove and then at the refrigerator.

"Would you like to have a meal before leaving?" he suggested.

"Okay." Sakurajima Mai smiled. These words instantly made her feel at ease. Every time she talked about food, the air would not be so depressing because it was really delicious.

"Chinese food?" Hayasaka Ai tilted her head.

"Ah..., I was thinking of frying or grilling it." Uesugi Genshin said "Ah".

Only simple cooking can preserve the original flavor of food. He just wants to eat meat.

"Is that so?" Hayasaka Ai did not show any disappointment, but said it calmly.

Uesugi Genshin picked up a scallion and asked Hayasaka Ai, "You can fry steak, right?"

"Of course I can." She didn't understand at first, but soon realized, "No problem!"

If you can’t finish it, make it into beef jerky and chew it slowly when you get home.

"Ahem..." Hayasaka Ai smiled shyly, clasped her hands together, and winked over here.

It was indeed the look in his eyes, Uesugi Genshin was not wrong.

"what......"

"Hehehe..." Sakurajima Mai patted Uesugi Genshin's shoulder while trying to hold back her laughter. It was just very funny.

Chapter 142: Sunflower Girl

"I'm counting on you." Looking at his sincere eyes, his subordinates should feel his heavy trust.

"......" Hayasaka Ai's mouth twitched, and she asked in a hot girl's tone, "Are you kidding?"

The final syllable "la" is a bit dragged out, giving me the feeling of a female delinquent.

"I wholeheartedly believe that only you can take on this important task. You just accepted my gift, but now you don't acknowledge it?" Uesugi Genshin raised his eyebrows.

"This is..." Hayasaka Ai softened her tone.

Oh no, oh no, so this is what they mean when they say "the mouth is soft after the meal".

No! Don't be fooled!

She shook her head. If she wrote the report this time, it was expected that in the near future, that is, tomorrow, and the reports thereafter would also be written by her without exception.

"Hayasaka!" Uesugi Genshin grabbed her shoulders, their eyes met, and her beautiful irises were a pleasure to look at.

Of course, this doesn't change the fact that Hayasaka Ai feels that the guy in front of her is kind of rotten.

She had been thinking since last time, could it be that this person thought she was a perfect labor force and that was why he insisted on having her join Sobu High School...right?

"Please~"

At this moment, Miss Kaguya's figure overlapped with this man.

"what......"

"Thank you." Uesugi Genshin smiled for a moment.

Looking at the closed door, Hayasaka Ai thought she was about to be completely trapped.
