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

Just like the name that Congressman Yukinoshita came up with is the Chiba Self-Help Committee.

"I understand." said the man.

Seeing that he understood, Uesugi Genshin looked at the others, "No one wants to ask, right?"

"No." "No."

Everyone else said so, and even if I wanted to know, knowing the details over there would be of no use compared to the fact that I had already planned to leave.

"Then let's go."

Chapter 199: A Woman with a Beautiful Smile

Everyone was carrying their own luggage. The man named Mitarai had some trouble carrying a child, so the manager's wife helped him carry half of the luggage. After all, her own luggage had already been taken away by Hachiman earlier.

I walked out of the apartment building and felt the moist air on the ground again. Why was it moist? It might be an illusion caused by the surrounding green plants.

Everyone stared blankly at the long-missed outside, which was completely different from looking down from the window.

Yes, just looking at those zombies swarming around from above makes one feel suffocated.

I was becoming more and more pessimistic the more I looked, but I would still occasionally lean over the window and look down, though I probably didn't do so to see if there was any rescue.

Pulling the suitcase, Uesugi Genshin walked in front, while Hachiman consciously stayed at the back, holding a baseball bat and looking around.

"Ah!!!" The bespectacled office worker in the middle suddenly let out a wail and dodged towards a lawn. This action instantly caused the crowd to subconsciously scatter in an arc.

When Uesugi Genshin looked back, he realized that he was frightened by the corpse of a zombie in the lawn on the right.

Obviously no one else saw it, mainly because everyone was staring at Uesugi Genshin's back and front, and didn't look around like he did.

Should I say that he is brave or timid?

"It hasn't bloomed yet, you can't look at it." The father holding his daughter quickly covered her eyes.

It is better not to let a kindergarten child come into contact with this bloody scene, as it would be bad if she had convulsions.

If they are already in elementary school, they might watch zombie movies with their children so that their children can understand the dangers of zombies in advance.

"This has already been dealt with by us, he's dead." Shizuka Hiratsuka said silently while standing in the middle of the path.

"I was scared to death." Yuigahama Yui breathed a sigh of relief after pulling away her mother's arm that was blocking her.

"Why are you still scared?" Uesugi Genshin complained to Yui beside him, even though he had killed one with his own hands before.

"It's that uncle's fault for making such a weird noise." She defended herself in a low voice. It is true that people can scare others.

"I've cleaned up the area, there are no zombies. But if any loud noise is made, I can't guarantee it." Retracting his eyes from looking sideways at Yui, Uesugi Genshin said to the team in front of him.

"I, I know. I'm sorry." The office worker who made the strange noise apologized softly, and the words of apology came out of his mouth. In the past, there must have been a corporate slave saying sorry every minute in Japan.

Originally, I didn't want to scare them, so I moved the zombies away from the road, but they were still scared in the end.

Of course, there are also environmental considerations. Who knows if the grass will come back in the future? Instead of rotting in the middle of the road and growing maggots, it is better to stay on the grass by the roadside. The maggots will eventually disappear into the soil along with some other scavenging insects.

Uesugi Genshin didn't say anything and continued to move forward. When he stood on the road, there was an underground parking lot on his left. He looked left and right at both sides of the road and could vaguely see a swaying figure in the blurred vision.

He waved his hand and asked them to go into the underground parking lot first, while Shizuka Hiratsuka stepped forward to take over and continue monitoring the zombies.

Everyone followed him and entered the dim space again without even breathing heavily. This time it was much better because the parking lot was basically in full view.

There was no sign of any monsters around, which made them relax their shoulders.

"Those two cars." Returning to his normal voice, Uesugi Genshin pointed at the two cars parked at the entrance. The basin of water and the towel on it were still placed next to the cars. They were borrowed from the administrator's wife, and the water in it was poured not far away.

They came to the front of the car and began to assign their seats. Office worker Ono and Mitarai with her child took the car of Hiratsuka Shizuka, while the administrator's wife, the next-door neighbor Mrs. Kawashima, and Yuigahama's mother took the car of Uesugi Genshin.

They opened the trunk and placed their luggage in the back, thinking about how to fit so much luggage into this small space.

As expected, there wasn't enough space in the back of Hiratsuka-sensei's car to fit so many people's suitcases, so one had to be placed on the front back seat. Fortunately, although there were six people, one of them was a child, and the child could sit on the adult's lap.

After closing the trunk with a bang, Uesugi Genshin said to everyone, "Get in."

Some of them took a last look at the sunlight coming in from the entrance of the parking lot, then got into the car. After sitting down, they locked the door themselves. No matter what they did, they couldn't open the door from the outside, so they were completely relieved.

The Wrangler started first, and the sound of its engine could be heard clearly inside the car because it was so quiet.

Next, it was Teacher Hiratsuka who drove out of the parking lot first, after all, she was the only one who knew the way, and Uesugi Genshin followed behind.

Mr. Mitarai, who was sitting in Hiratsuka Shizuka's car, kept looking back until the apartment building disappeared from his sight.

"Why are you reluctant?" Hachiman saw it through the rearview mirror.

"I'm afraid my wife won't be able to find us when she comes back." He smiled bitterly.

"I see." Hachiman chuckled.

"Is Mommy coming back?" His daughter asked a question that had no answer in his arms.

Mr. Mitarai patted her head and said, "Mom is always busy. If Mika misses her, go visit her when you grow up."

"Then I want to grow up quickly." The child said naively.

"Grow up quickly and be obedient." Hachiman said as he sat in the front.

"Then Weihua will be obedient."

"Yeah, very good." The father smiled and held his daughter back in his arms. Under normal circumstances, the child would fall asleep in the car in a short while.

However, Shizuka Hiratsuka in front sighed, "The road may not be so peaceful later, so try not to make her too noisy."

As soon as he finished speaking, the car did a tailspin and dodged the zombies rushing from the side.

"Huh?" Little Weihua wanted to lean on the car window to look out of curiosity, but her father held her tightly in his arms, as if he was protecting her.

"I see."

"Children." He was about to say something but stopped himself. Ono next to him turned his head and looked out the window. He hated children because they were noisy and needed to be coaxed. He could not imagine having children at all, and he never got married.

Shizuka Hiratsuka was not driving fast. Not only did she need to avoid randomly parked cars along the way, but also clusters of zombies gathered around the destroyed vehicles, or scattered zombies scattered around the road.

Everyone was silent along the way, only Hachiman was flipping through the map in his hand and constantly giving directions to the teacher.

Even Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't remember all the road conditions, so she needed to drive from here to the road she was familiar with first.

There were a few "bang" noises on the way, but apart from making the two people in the back seat gasp, there seemed to be nothing else.

From single-family residential areas to densely packed apartment buildings, they paid special attention to avoiding busy commercial areas.

Two cars shuttled through the silent city, and only the sound of the cars drowned out the unconscious roars of the zombies.

The sky is still as blue, but the city is completely different from before.

The time in the car is extremely long, which is what people sitting in the back seat feel. It would be extremely relaxing if they could sleep all the way.

However, their worry makes it difficult for them to fall asleep, and they even feel that it is better to die with their eyes open and knowing clearly than to fall asleep and die without knowing what is happening.

This heavy and increasingly pessimistic mood lasted for several hours.

Even Yuigahama's mother didn't talk to her daughter, for fear of disturbing Uesugi-kun's driving.

When passing by Hanamigawa, after a while, Uesugi Genshin saw a figure standing guard at a building, and he knew that they had probably arrived.

Then Hiratsuka-sensei's rear lights came on, reminding him that it was time to slow down.

Two men who looked like guards stood on both sides of the road and waved at them. Both of them held iron rods about one meter long as weapons.

Two cars stopped at the checkpoint. Uesugi Genshin narrowed his eyes and saw a motionless man at the checkpoint, and it seemed that the man was holding a gun in his hand?

A guard came to Mr. Hiratsuka's car window and spoke. Uesugi Genshin didn't hear what they said, but he could probably guess that they were some inquiries.

Not long after, the guard outside the car window walked towards Uesugi Genshin's car again. Uesugi Genshin lowered the window and put his arms on the window.

The man who wrapped himself tightly raised one hand and said, "Hi~"

"Hello." Uesugi Genshin responded briefly.

He took a quick glance inside and saw several women in the car, and confirmed it.

Walking back to the checkpoint, he talked to the man inside. They both looked over here and nodded. The leader waved and let them pass.

Finally they passed the checkpoint made of sandbags, barbed wire and stone piers.

When passing by them, Uesugi Genshin saw that the leader-like man was talking about something on the walkie-talkie, probably reporting to the people inside.

The survivor base built by Representative Yukinoshita looks pretty good.

At least there are rules and regulations, and Hachiman also set up rules and regulations for the people in the security team he leads, and it seems to be the case.

As Mr. Hiratsuka drove in, we passed a small temple and stopped in front of a hall. The reason we knew this was because it was written on the building: Self-Government Hall.

So, some kind of community center thing.

After the car stopped, a figure that made Uesugi Genshin's eyes light up walked out. At first glance, the man ignored Hiratsuka Shizuka's greeting and looked over here, or to be more precise, at the car.

The next second, she laughed, and her laugh was so gorgeous that people couldn't help but stare at it.

"It's Xiaoxue's sister." Yuigahama Yui exclaimed softly. Miss Yangno was wearing a red coat, a black sweater and a gray long skirt that covered most of her calves. She looked very fashionable and a beautiful beauty.

No, maybe the fashion sense itself is due to the individual. If someone else wears it, it might look tacky.

"I'll get off first." Uesugi Genshin said and opened the car door.

"Oh, me too." Yuigahama Yui said quickly, then reached out to the car door.

"What's going on? You are such a distinguished guest." Just by hearing these words, Uesugi Genshin would probably think that he was being sarcastic.

"Come to see you." He teased.

"Oh, I'm really honored." She showed a flattered expression, and it didn't feel artificial at all. At least Yukinoshita Haruno's appearance showed the bearing and elegance of a lady from a noble family.

"When will you come to my place?"

"You're talking about this when we meet?"

"I'm looking forward to it."

"A man who perseveres~"

"Hey!" Shizuka Hiratsuka, who also got off the car, shouted, "Hirano, don't ignore me."

"How can you say that, Shizuka?" Yukinoshita Haruno blinked, "Because Shizuka and I are already very familiar with each other. We even went to the pub to drink together before."

In other words, I'm not familiar with Uesugi Genshin, so is there a need to exchange pleasantries?

"Are these the people Xiaojing brought back?" She looked at the people in the car who were looking at her.

"Yes." Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded carelessly.

"Xiao Jing is so kind." There was no dissatisfaction in her words, but Uesugi Genshin could hear the helplessness in her voice. Well, there were already 5,000 people.

"Who is Xiaojing?" Hachiman also got out of the car, stood beside the teacher, and said in a low voice.

"Ah." Hiratsuka Shizuka covered her forehead in distress, "This is how Haruno calls me in private."

In front of others, he is the respected Hiratsuka-sensei, and behind others, he is Shizuka-chan who you can drink with.

If a teacher calls out like that in front of students, all his authority would be gone. Fortunately, Hachiman is not only a student, but others won't say anything nonsense either.

"Yeah." Yukinoshita Haruno nodded and smiled without any concern.

"Actually, Haruno." Putting her hand down from her forehead, Hiratsuka Shizuka said seriously, "These people are a little different. One of them is Yuigahama's mother."

"?" Yukinoshita Haruno looked at the cute girl with a bun next to her. When she looked over, she subconsciously hid behind Uesugi Genshin, "I see."

She nodded and smiled, "Girlfriend?"

Facing her direct question, Uesugi Genshin also nodded and responded, "Yes."

"Hey~" Her smile became even brighter, as if she had heard good news, with a sincere and curious expression.

"So?" she asked.

"So I came by to see how you are doing?" Uesugi Genshin spread out his hands.

"Heh~" Her eyes seemed to say that he was not here to look at her.

It was just a polite remark. Don't think that Yukinoshita Haruno took what she just said seriously just based on her expression. This is also a kind of teasing.

"Aren't we allies?"

"......" There was no response, but Yukinoshita Haruno sighed, "I will take good care of them and arrange them to the right place. It will be easy, safe, and very engaging, without any pressure."

If he were alone, it would be a bit too conspicuous, so he took the women in the back seat with him.
