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

"There may not be tens of thousands of them." Hachiman added nonchalantly, "If there are really residents taking refuge here, if the Self-Defense Forces are smart, they will definitely keep them under surveillance and will not let them run around."

Kuriyama glanced at him and clenched his fists. "If possible, I would like to think so. But what if..."

"You said just in case, then let's discuss it over the radio." Murai's voice was calm, but his tone was full of undisguised reproach.

Saying discouraging words before the action even begins will have a negative impact on morale.

Morale is very important. It determines whether you can think calmly or run away in panic when facing a horde of zombies.

"If the losses are heavy, hide and wait for rescue. Don't lead the zombies to the exit to avoid the exit being blocked." Yukinoshita Haruno smiled with narrowed eyes, her expression sunny and bright.

"I understand." Kuriyama nodded and smiled at Yukinoshita Haruno, and it seemed to be a normal smile.

"Let's take action. We'll take the lead." Yukinoshita Haruno said. The reason she said this was that carrying equipment would slightly affect Murai and the others' actions, and she was the leader of the team.

She stood up and nodded to Uesugi Genshin and the SIT group.

Uesugi Genshin took the knife that he had wiped clean with the zombie's clothes back into his hand, and walked in front of Yukinoshita Haruno with Hachiman.

Looking at the end, there is still a traffic jam on National Highway 296. It seems that this road is not very smooth.

Standing at the corner, he looked to both sides. There were no zombies, only abandoned vehicles.

As for whether there are zombies in the house on the other side of the street, I don’t know.

"Keep going." Yukinoshita Haruno was very close to him, so close that he could feel the flow of air when he spoke.

"Yeah." Uesugi Genshin responded and walked towards the entrance of the garrison. Seeing this, Hachiman followed him and walked forward through the space on the side of the traffic.

The door of the garrison was uncomfortably open, and when I looked inside, I could see zombies wandering around. They were dressed as civilians, not from the Self-Defense Forces.

"Stand apart." Hachiman said behind him.

"I'll deal with the one on the left." Uesugi Genshin said without even turning his head.

"Okay." Hachiman walked out with understanding and stood on the right.

When the zombies in front saw the living people, they excitedly rushed towards them, going to whichever one was closer.

He moved quickly and arrived in front of Uesugi Genshin. With one horizontal move, the zombie's head fell to the ground.

Then he used the cassock to cut most of the other zombie's body in half, and his spine was also broken by the heavy blow.

Raw bones are much more fragile and can crack with the slightest hit, not to mention a powerful attack from a knife made of modern alloys.

After killing three in a row, the hanging blade was not damaged at all except for drops of blood dripping onto the ground.

He usually takes good care of it, polishing it with a whetstone and maintaining it with oil. It seems that he can still use this knife for a long time.

There is another door ahead. There are no other zombies, but if you look inside, you can see zombies in the woods on both sides of the road.

Now it can be completely confirmed that everything inside is destroyed.

Others followed, and one of the Self-Defense Forces kicked the head with his boot onto the grass nearby as he passed by.

Glancing at Uesugi Genshin who was standing next to Yukinoshita Haruno, Murai sighed. He had to accept the fact that there were no living people here, but he had not yet seen the Self-Defense Forces members turned into zombies.

They continued to move forward. The road leading inside was several hundred meters long, and zombies appeared from the woods on both sides from time to time.

Yukinoshita Haruno also participated in the battle between Uesugi Genshin and Hachiman.

She wielded the weapon in her hand heroically, killing the zombies, which made Uesugi Genshin look at her sideways. She looked dazzling with her confidence.

This is the first time I see her fighting, but she is very cool.

Chapter 205: Rational Monster

When they entered the gate, the entire garrison was deathly silent. The only sounds they could hear were the clinking of weapons accidentally knocked to the ground, the ripping of clothes, and the squeaking of boots on the road. It seemed as if they could also hear the ominous cries of crows circling in the treetops after the tragedy.

The two or three minute journey took us seven or eight minutes, and it seemed like several hours.

Finally, they stepped on the corpses of zombies and came to a crossroads. At least, all the zombies they encountered so far were civilian zombies dressed in simple clothes.

"The cafeteria and hospital are on the left." Although he had made it clear just now, Murai still pointed over there, "When the zombies appeared, that was the hardest hit area. We moved the people who had fainted for unknown reasons there, but the next second they suddenly jumped up and bit people everywhere."

"I don't know what the situation is now." At least when he left, no one wanted to eat there anymore, even though the bodies had been cleaned up.

Then he looked to the right, "That's the regiment headquarters building, but..."

Looking from here to there, the path is full of zombies, making it a little difficult to pass.

"The armory is on a deep floor and has access control." After saying that, he looked at Yukinoshita Haruno.

As agreed before, Yukinoshita Haruno said, "I know. As for the access card, I will look for it in the duty room first, then the storage room, and then the chief's office."

"Well, I've already told you the password." Murai wanted to confirm whether the other party had really remembered it and whether he needed to repeat it again. Only after getting a clear response from the other party did he feel relieved.

When they were about to separate, he became nagging, fearing that the operation would fail because of his own reasons.

When the time came, I found that the things I had thought unnecessary to mention before now felt like I had to say them all in order to feel relieved, but in the end I didn't have time to finish them.

They were going to be separated for a short time.

"May your military fortune last forever." This was all he could wish for.

The SAT members retreated to the outer gate and were ready to provide support at any time. They were a rapid response force for counter-terrorism.

Uesugi Genshin followed Yukinoshita Haruno to the right, and the SIT group followed.

Murai and the others continued to move forward. The warehouse was located further inside.

Crossing the path, the two SIT people who followed us were both dark-skinned and a little short, but with sharp eyes and a serious manner.

Originally they belong to the criminal police sequence. Unlike the SATs which are directly under the National Police Agency, they deal with extremely vicious criminal cases. It is definitely not okay to laugh and joke around. This should be their normal working state.

There were two other survivors who were looking around with a little fear and nervousness in their eyes.

Everyone is afraid. Although Uesugi Genshin didn't know whether there was nervousness in his eyes, he knew that his adrenaline glands were constantly secreting, which made him even more excited.

"Let us go as the forward. You guys take a short rest first." SIT walked up and said to Yukinoshita Haruno, while looking at Uesugi Genshin and Hachiman.

"Okay." Yukinoshita Haruno had no objection. They really needed to relax their muscles a little.

The path had just enough space for three people to wield their weapons side by side, so the SIT man stood in the middle, leaving one person behind to provide support.

Just a few seconds after entering the fork in the road, the zombies in front turned towards this side and noticed this place and began to move towards them.

Most of them walked slowly, most of them were infected whose leg muscles were severely damaged by bites, while some were just missing a few pieces of flesh in the upper body, which did not affect their running.

This group has rushed to the front, and the SIT group did not use the safer iron pipe spears, but picked up the spare iron rods and smashed them on the zombies' heads.

"So there are backup weapons." Uesugi Genshin had previously felt that spears, although safe, had too low killing efficiency.

"I didn't." Yukinoshita Haruno spread her hands beside him. If there wasn't blood on her gloves, this action would have looked relaxed enough.

"Hmph~" With a proud expression on his face, Uesugi Genshin took out the wakizashi from inside his clothes and said, "I have it."

"..." Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly became much more interesting, then she patted his shoulder heavily and scolded him.

Well, I don't have one either, Hachiman muttered behind them.

In Yawata's opinion, the combat performance of the SIT group was remarkable. Facing the attacks of waves of zombies, they had not failed so far. This showed that they did have rich combat experience and were the backbone of the field operators in the base.

After all, a missed move could mean death, and even a slight scratch on the exposed skin would be unbearable. If you were thrown to the ground but not injured, and someone behind you rescued you in time, you would be much luckier.

Neither of these two situations has happened yet. As for if an accident really happens, it will just happen.

It's not because they are members of the Chiba Self-Rescue Committee, even if they are from Sobu High School, he thinks so, and he believes that Xuan Xin thinks so too, allowing sacrifices when necessary.

If you are not a heartless person, you can't be a good commander.

He thought he was rational enough on this, and so did Hyun Shin.

Even though they were standing still, the zombies in the distance could sense the fighting going on here and swarmed over here.

We couldn't see them further away, that is, closer to the building.

After the battle that was so close to them ended, they finally had a chance to catch their breath.

The corpses scattered on the ground made the already narrow road even more congested, although it was more like a visual illusion.

"Take over, we'll come next." Yukinoshita Haruno walked forward and said.

"Okay." The SIT man replied, breathing heavily.

Uesugi Genshin and Hachiman passed them and carefully walked through the piles of corpses on the road where they could step firmly, paying attention to the movements under their feet to make sure that there were some that were not really dead.

One of them shook slightly, and Uesugi Genshin stabbed it in the back of the head with a knife.

Its body was swaying slightly, and it was unclear whether it was because of his knife or just its instinctive twitching.

The knife was dirty again, red with yellow tints. I wiped it from time to time, and it became like this again after a while.

Yukinoshita Haruno followed behind him, and could hear the friction of the hard fabric of her upper body clothes. Why the upper body? Because her lower body was too tight, there would probably be no sound.

Everyone stepped carefully over the pile of corpses. Uesugi Genshin walked in front without hesitation, with Hachiman and Yukinoshita Haruno on his right and left respectively.

Only then did he realize that there was a convenience store on his left. "Wait a minute, I'll go in and take a look."

Uesugi Genshin planned to go in and take a look to gather some information.

"Then let's go together." Yukinoshita Haruno asked the people from SIT behind to stop here and wait, while they turned left and walked towards the convenience store.

The glass of the front door was completely shattered, and a black cat was actually seen walking among the glass shards on the ground at the door.

It can be seen that it is a wild cat, not a domestic cat, but a stray cat of pure bloodline.

Silence suddenly fell, broken only by the ominous meowing of the cat that had been frightened into the house.

A little worried about whether he might disturb the zombies inside, Uesugi Genshin walked into the building. Hachiman and Yukinoshita Haruno also walked lightly and suppressed their noises.

The convenience store is on the left, and on the right is a coffee shop with yellow-themed decorations and a sign that says Rodon. Rodon is a large chain brand in Japan with very affordable prices.

You don't even have to go in to see that there's nothing on the convenience store shelves; they've been completely cleared out.

As for the right side, Uesugi Genshin walked over to the empty bar.

There was a layer of dust on the equipment, and he could clearly see the extent of the dust by just rubbing it with his fingers, but of course he would not do that.

"Dear guests, what would you like to order?" Uesugi Genshin asked the two people elegantly at the bar.

Hachiman turned his head away, unable to bear to watch, and did not join in the fun, instead observing the neatly arranged tables and chairs around him.

Yukinoshita Haruno relaxed and said with a smile, "Just give me whatever you have."

"That's true." Uesugi Genshin spread his hands, his face full of helplessness, "There's nothing."

"Hahahahaha..." Yukinoshita Haruno was amused. She covered her lower abdomen and panted softly. The way she suppressed her voice and seemed in pain was extremely charming.

"If there are some coffee beans left, I don't mind making a cup of coffee for each of you." Uesugi Genshin walked out of the bar and returned to the two of them.

"It's all been emptied out." Hachiman stated the fact.

Yukinoshita Haruno wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "I still have some at home. I can make you a cup when I get back."

"The personal service of Miss Yukinoshita is really worth looking forward to." Uesugi Genshin shrugged.

As if she was very satisfied with being called the eldest lady, the corners of her mouth curved into a curve indicating a good mood.

I just don’t know whether it is directed at the name itself or the person saying it.

Then he waved his hand and made a "let's go" gesture. Hachiman and Yukinoshita Haruno nodded, and then they walked outside together.

It was quiet and clean, indicating that at least they restored order for a while, cleaned up and emptied the place, and then the building was abandoned.

Yukinoshita Haruno explained the situation inside to the SIT people, and they echoed and said they understood.

At least no fighting took place, which was the best thing.

Continuing to move forward, the zombies in front of the building also discovered them one after another and ran towards them in groups of three or two. The most important ones rushed towards Sugi Genshin because he was standing in the front.

At this time, he once again demonstrated his superb swordsmanship, passing through them with a single-foot spinning step, his movements so smooth that it seemed as if his feet did not touch the ground.

At the moment of passing through, Uesugi Genshin cut the zombie's carotid artery with a knife. If it were a human, he would have been covered in blood. However, the zombie's blood pressure was incredibly not that high, and the latter fell down.

This sword was so light that it didn't even affect the rhythm of his next sword.

His movements were graceful and swift, and before his body finished spinning, not even a drop of blood splattered from the zombie's neck.

Another one behind him pounced on him and tried to bite his neck, but the dangerous pounce was blocked by the knife.

Bend down, turn around, jump up, use both hands to gather strength to swing the knife, and use the movement of the waist to increase the force.

The snow-white blade turned into a ray of light and split the opponent's abdomen with a sound of breaking through the air.
