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

"It's the same as always. Using work to numb myself, is that decent or not?"

Instead of the compliment Hachiman had expected, Xuan Xin's words surprised him a little.

"Eh~, what an accident." What does the accident that Yukinoshita Haruno refers to refer to?

"We are all in the same situation. We are all having a hard time." Uesugi Genshin didn't look at Haruno, but looked at the fields in the distance.

"Once this matter is finished, I will go see Yukino." Yukinoshita Haruno tilted her head and smiled.

"I'll just help you convey it."

"Are you sure you can convey it?"

"I have plans to go to Tokyo Shuchiin for negotiations with Yukinoshita, so I'll just stop by here on my way back."

"Tokyo..." She gave him a meaningful look.

When Uesugi Genshin looked back, he could only see extremely soft and delicate eyelashes and beautiful eyes.

"What happened to Tokyo?"

"The front is here."

"Here?" Uesugi Genshin looked at the warehouse-like building and followed Yukinoshita Haruno in.

There were a lot of people inside, most of them wrapped tightly. A few were wearing camouflage, probably from the Self-Defense Forces, and some were wearing black SWAT uniforms.

There are two types of special police in Japan, SIT and SAT.

To put it simply, the difference is that the SIT, which is responsible for capturing serious criminals, must capture them alive, while the SAT, which is responsible for dealing with terrorist attacks such as hijackings, will shoot and will not say a word.

"Ms. Yukinoshita, these two people are not among the reserved people." An adult man with a square face and wearing camouflage put down the cup noodles in his hand and walked over.

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Murai, these two people are following me." Yukinoshita Haruno had a formal smile on her face that looked very fake.

"Aren't they students?... If you think it's okay, then it's fine." The man named Murai seemed unexpectedly easy to talk to. He walked back to his seat, continued to pick up the cup noodles, blew on it, and slurped it into his mouth.

"Is everyone here?" asked Yukinoshita Haruno.

"There are a few more." The man in the gray motorcycle suit came over and replied.

Yukinoshita Haruno glanced at him, nodded, turned back to Uesugi Genshin and said, "Looks like we have to wait a little while."

"Oh." They both agreed.

The three of them walked to a corner and sat on chairs. Uesugi Genshin and Yukinoshita Haruno sat side by side, while Hachiman moved behind them.

"You look very majestic." Joking quietly, Uesugi Genshin turned his head towards Yukinoshita Haruno.

"Are you asking why they listened to me?" Yukinoshita Haruno tilted her head towards him and said, "That's because I was the one in charge of the outbound team at the beginning, and they joined later."

"That's it."

"Isn't it cruel to let your own daughter be responsible for such a thing?" It's more like complaining than complaining.

"Ah... I think people who can master power in the end times will live longer."

However, he remembered that the internal educational policy of the Yukinoshita family was to establish opponents and constantly surpass them. This family is full of Rakshasas.

Chapter 202: You Won’t Let Me Die

"Where do these people come from?" Uesugi Genshin changed the subject.

"Those are the soldiers of the 1st Airborne Regiment." Yukinoshita Haruno didn't specify, but was referring to the soldiers in camouflage. "Some of their families are already living here."

It is common knowledge that people with families are not considered unsafe factors.

There were only six people in total. Some of them had guns hanging in front of them, while the one called Murai put the gun aside and concentrated on eating noodles.

"Do they have any ammunition left for their guns?"

"Basically not. I'm just curious, who's better, you with a knife or him with a gun?"

"This is a weird question. There is no comparison between the two. If I could, I would also like to have a gun."

"That means you can't beat him."

"In ancient times, the longer you fight, the stronger you become. If you can use a spear, you will never use a short sword." Uesugi Genshin lowered his voice and said, "Well, at close range, it's a 50-50 chance. It depends on who gets the first move. The party that attacks suddenly will win. Why... do you ask this question?"

Smiling, Yukinoshita Haruno looked at her other half, "And those few are SITs and SATs who live nearby. After the zombies appeared, they couldn't contact their departments and ended up staying here."

As for the special police, they deal with terrorists all year round. Unless they have just joined the army, they have at least seen blood. Japan is not that safe, and their combat effectiveness will be much stronger than that of ordinary Self-Defense Force members.

As for the comparison with special forces, I don’t know, as their training principles are different.

"The remaining people include employees of my father's company and those who have joined from other survivor teams." In other words, the composition is complex.

"I see. What are we going to take later?"

"The motorcade, the SUVs parked outside."

"Which one?" SUVs are divided into two categories: city and dedicated off-road vehicles.

"We have all kinds, but ours is for city use, and it has four-wheel drive." As she said this, she opened her palm and showed the key hanging on her index finger.

The skin was as clear as jade, and the hands were very beautiful. Then Uesugi Genshin used his fingernails to pick at the calluses on her hands.

"You have it too." She said lightly.

That look made him shiver with coldness, because he reminded the other person that he had calluses on his hands.

Ah~, even Yukinoshita Haruno can't help but care about this kind of thing?

Her bright lips showed a smile, and her big eyes were curved like an arch, staring at him.

Her long legs moved slightly, and her toes kicked off his shoes.

"The situation is not serious. Wear gloves and take good care of your hands, and the calluses will disappear." It's not like the calluses can't be healed.

"Hmph, I know it very well." As she said that, she took out a fingerless pair of gloves from her pocket and put them on her hands.

So, Uesugi Genshin and Hachiman also took out their gloves and put them on, also exposing their fingers.

The gloves themselves are fingerless, but they are cut open.

The peripheral nerves of the fingers are widely distributed, which can enhance the sensitivity of sensation.

In comparison, those that do not expose the fingers are mostly used for heat preservation.

This reminded him of the winter in Stalingrad. There were no gloves at that time, so they were simply wrapped with cloth. But his hands were not cold because his fingers became warm as he fired the gun.

Their actions seemed to be a signal that they were ready to set off. After noticing their movements, others also began to check their equipment.

Another person came in, and the leader of the SWAT team greeted him, "Sawada, you're too slow."

"Sorry, sorry." Without saying anything, the man named Sawada kept apologizing and walked over with his back bent.

"Mr. Sawada has three children." Yukinoshita Haruno tilted her head and explained why the man came so late.

Whenever there are people late, he is usually one of them, so he is also called "Late Sawada".

"That's amazing, three children." Hachiman sighed behind them. Three small children are rare in today's society. "He and his wife must be very loving."

"Maybe I will have several children in the future." Turning behind him, Uesugi Genshin said as if joking.

"You are completely different from him." And please don't use a joking tone, what you say is definitely not a joke.

Before Uesugi Genshin could tease that maybe you are the same.

Soon, a few more people came behind. Murai had already finished his cup noodles and drank up all the soup. He crumpled the cup into a ball and threw it into the trash can.

Standing up, he walked towards Yukinoshita Haruno, "Is everyone here? It's almost time to set off."

Except for the two people brought by Yukinoshita Haruno, the others are familiar faces.

"Let's discuss the grouping first." He moved a chair in front of Yukinoshita Haruno.

To be honest, given his size, standing would not be very friendly to either party, and he knew it well, so he simply sat down.

"There are quite a lot of people in this operation. I hope you can split them up." Yukinoshita Haruno put forward her own opinion, "If the combat power is uneven, if you encounter danger, it will take a lot of effort to rescue them back and forth. It's best not to have any sacrifices."

"Yes." It's hard to say that if the six of them are together, the cooperation will be better. Now everyone is a team, and if they really encounter danger, it is impossible for them to stand by and watch them die.

"As for the number of people in a group, three to four is best." Yukinoshita Haruno did not control the volume of her voice when she spoke, so everyone here could hear her, and she also deliberately looked around at the people who were looking at her.

"Well, there's just enough space for one car." Murai had no objection, "Then Ms. Yukinoshita, are these the only ones in your group?"

He was referring to the two people brought by the other party. As he spoke, he glanced at the knife on the waist of the young man next to him, which was hung on his side by the rope on the belt, and his hand casually resting on the handle of the knife.

No, it wasn't that casual. He had no doubt that he could pull out the knife in the blink of an eye if he encountered any situation.

There was also the person sitting behind the two of them. When he first came in, the weapon he was holding was a specially modified baseball bat, but it was stained with red blood that had not been cleaned up. It seemed that Miss Yukinoshita was not one of the two people who had been added on a whim.

"Yeah." Squinting her eyes, Yukinoshita Haruno smiled. If they hadn't come over by chance, she should have been with her father's former members.

Then everyone discussed the specific groupings. The six people from the Self-Defense Forces were divided into three groups, and the people from SAT and SIT were basically divided into two groups based on interpersonal relationships. There were only three people in them.

There are eight groups of people in total, and there will be about eight cars in the end.

"Sorry, I'm late." The door opened and Kuriyama came in.

"You're not on the list, are you?" Murai looked around in confusion. All the groups had been divided, but he just came here.

These words made Kuriyama, who had walked in, freeze and his expression instantly turned ugly.

"Mr. Kuriyama, did your father agree to let you come?" Yukinoshita Haruno said with a smile.

"Agreed." He nodded.

Kuriyama..., Murai thought, he knew that the other party's father was a member of the committee, but the people involved in this operation had all been vetted, that is, they were carefully selected. After all, it was very dangerous, and no one could say whether there would be sacrifices.

"I want to do my part, too." Kuriyama's nice words left Murai speechless.

Then what about the grouping... If Miss Yukinoshita doesn't plan to add anyone, he looked at his comrade-in-arms Furuya, and then the other looked at the ceiling, okay.

Then he looked at S's people, but when they saw him looking at them, they turned their heads and looked at the other two groups of people, which obviously meant rejection, and guided him to look over there.

When grouping, we also pay attention to the closeness of the relationship. Most of the time, people who are familiar with each other or who have a good eye for each other are paired up first, and then the number of people is made up.

But no one wanted to suddenly accept the son of a committee member. If he joined their group, they would have to protect him.

Although Kuriyama also often participated in field missions, it was precisely because of this identity that he did not want to provoke him. No one could guarantee their own safety. He was in a state of deep worry and instinctively rejected other unstable factors.

"I'll be fine with Haruno." Seeing that Murai and the others didn't react, Kuriyama said as if he didn't care.

"Well, I have to be on the front line, so I can't guarantee Kuriyama-kun's safety. Is that okay?"

Yukinoshita Haruno's words made Kuriyama look a little hesitant. He originally wanted to say in a cool way that he would protect Haruno, but everyone knew that Haruno had always been in the front, and in terms of combat power, she didn't need his protection at all. His face became hot as he hesitated.

But for some reason, he smiled subtly and said, "It's troublesome."

"Forget it. It would be bad if something unexpected happened to Kuriyama-kun." Then Yukinoshita Haruno clearly refused, "I've already told my parents what to do if I can't come back this time."

This made Kuriyama's face even more gloomy and ugly, as if he was about to get angry in the next second.

Someone from another group called out, "Kuriyama-san, come to our group."

The people who spoke were from the group of survivors brought by Kuriyama's father. Even though they were now separated and living separately, they still had to be taken care of for his father's sake. After all, they knew each other, and it would be bad if they were noticed later.

"Okay." The next second, Kuriyama turned his head as if nothing had happened. The speed of his expression change made Hachiman dumbfounded.

"Let's go," Yukinoshita Haruno announced.

They each took their weapons and walked out of the warehouse. There were indeed cars parked in the open space next to it, and there were more than 8 cars. It seemed that the vehicles for going out were gathered together.

However, steel plates were nailed around each car, especially the hood, which made Uesugi Genshin touch it with some envy.

"I'll install it for you later, and check the condition of the car while you're at it. We have someone here who can repair cars."

"Thank you."

And Yukinoshita Haruno graciously accepted Uesugi Genshin's thanks.

Suddenly, Uesugi Genshin felt someone was staring at him, and when he looked over there, he saw Kuriyama getting on the bus, "......"

After he took off the knife and sat in the passenger seat, he suggested to Yukinoshita Haruno who started the car, "Do you want him to disappear?"

Hachiman in the back seat shrank his neck. Hyun Shin said "disappear" too easily. How scary~

"Oh, so kind?" Yukinoshita Haruno teased.

"After all, we are allies." If Yukinoshita Haruno really said that she would kill him later, Uesugi Genshin would definitely take action, because he knew that Yukinoshita Haruno would never sell him out, and that everything must be ready before she let him take action. The reason was because of his sister Yukinoshita Yukino.
