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

It clearly didn't exist before.

No, it’s hard to say, because she was concentrating on driving the vehicle and had no time to observe her surroundings. Maybe she had the same experience last time.

Uesugi Genshin slowed down the accelerator and said, "Do you want to go take a look?"

He posed the question to the two people in the car, which instantly made the car quiet.

For a moment, no one spoke.

Chapter 237: Execute First and Report Later

"Let's go and take a look." Letting out a soft breath, Yukinoshita Yukino placed her bent fingers on her lips and looked up at him.

"My opinion is to keep moving forward." Hayasaka Ai behind gave a completely opposite answer.

As if to make herself more convincing, she continued, "I've seen people waving at me from the windows of apartment buildings on the road before. What should I do? Climb up a dozen floors and clear the zombies in the building to save her? The right thing to do is to leave it alone."

Her tone was very cold, but she looked down, not daring to meet the gaze of Uesugi Genshin who was looking in the rearview mirror.

"But this is obviously a call for help." Yukinoshita Yukino pointed out briefly. The three of them knew the meaning of SOS.

If there were only people there, there would be no problem for them to just pass by. However, since an SOS sign has been hung, it means that the situation of the people inside is not optimistic. In this case, it is difficult to just ignore it.

"It's risky." Hayasaka Ai persuaded again.

Does anyone know when this SOS was posted, and are there really any living people inside? And what if there are zombies everywhere?

“That’s why I said I’d take a look.”

"..." The hands on her legs clenched into fists, but Hayasaka Ai stopped talking.

"Have you decided?" Uesugi Genshin asked. He had been keeping his foot on the accelerator since just now. Otherwise, if he stepped on the accelerator, that place would be left far behind the car.

"Yeah." Yukinoshita Yukino in the passenger seat simply nodded.

Uesugi Genshin saw all of this, as well as Hayasaka's actions behind him.

Ah..., Yukinoshita is not as determined as imagined, and Hayasaka is not as cold as her words make her say.

"That's decided then." After saying that, he turned the steering wheel sharply, adjusted the direction, and drove towards the building with the SOS sign.

Because it was still in my sight just now, I turned around and drove for a total of two minutes before I stopped in front of the building.

This is a three-story building, probably an office or company. There is a small open space in front of the building.

The glass of the front door of the building was shattered, and the broken glass was mixed with black blood. Looking down, there were dark red bloodstains on the ground.

Two zombies can be seen in the building near the entrance. Because Uesugi Genshin stepped on the brakes very lightly, they have not noticed someone coming outside.

"I'll go take a look." Uesugi Genshin picked up the knife at hand and prepared to get out of the car.

"I'm going too." Yukinoshita Yukino picked up the prepared baseball bat and prepared to go too.

"I..." I wanted to say that it would be fine if he was alone, but when I saw her determined look, I realized that if I refused, it would hurt her self-esteem.

She is such a proud person.

Uesugi Genshin stopped and opened the car door. He leaned over to look at the window upstairs of the small building in front of him, and a shadow seemed to flash inside.

"Hayasaka, you stay in the car." As he said that, Uesugi Genshin extended his hand towards Yukinoshita.

Yukinoshita Yukino remained motionless, watching his hand approaching until he opened the glove box in front of her.

Inside was a police revolver. Although it was of no use, it was always kept there.

Uesugi Genshin took it out and handed it to Hayasaka in the back seat, "You will sit in the front later, pay attention to your surroundings, and don't turn off the car."

"I know." Taking the revolver handed over by the minister, Hayasaka Ai subconsciously placed her thumb on the trigger and nodded clearly.

"Let's go." After giving the instructions, Uesugi Genshin told Yukinoshita Yukino to get out of the car.

The two of them got out from the left and right sides of the car and closed the door gently, but even though they were so gentle, in order to ensure that it was closed, a crisp sound still came out.

It may not have much to do with the sound, maybe the zombies just saw them.

The two that were leaning against the door began to walk towards them, covered in blood and wearing tattered clothes, and they let out hoarse roars.

At this time, Uesugi Genshin looked up at the curtains on the second and third floors that were not drawn so tightly.

The SOS banner was hung from the roof, which means that if there were really living people, the only possibility was that they were up there.

"I'll do it." Before Uesugi Genshin could say anything, Yukinoshita Yukino took a step forward, perhaps to prove herself.

After all, this is her first battle.

Uesugi Genshin put his sword on top of the other's and watched her cleanly and efficiently smash down two zombies separately with a baseball bat, killing them both with one strike.

Two zombies are still within the handling range of ordinary people, let alone Yukinoshita.

"So this is what it feels like."

When Uesugi Genshin got closer, he heard her mumbling, and then she immediately raised her head, looked at him and said, "Nothing."

"Are you feeling okay?" Uesugi Genshin walked silently to her side.

"Surprisingly, there really wasn't." I had thought I would have resistance to killing or a feeling of nausea from coming into contact with blood, but it turned out to be surprisingly easy.

"That's good, let's go in." After saying that, he took the lead and walked to the door of the building.

There were no lights on inside, but luckily it was daytime and it was a little cool at best, but there was plenty of light and the lighting was still quite strong.

Yukinoshita Yukino followed him carefully with a baseball bat in her hand. She had just vented her desire to express herself, so now she might as well just follow him obediently. She knew exactly what to do and when.

Both of them suppressed their footsteps, so the faint sounds of footsteps and the rustling of shoes dragging on the floor that came from the silence were definitely not from them.

Obviously a zombie.

Passing the front desk and entering the reception room on the first floor, a quick glance in the small space told me that the number of zombies had exceeded ten.

After attracting the attention of several zombies facing him, Uesugi Genshin and Yukinoshita retreated quickly.

Following a series of sounds caused by the movements, zombies came out from the corner and rushed straight towards them.

Uesugi Genshin first dealt with the first running zombie, then dodged to the side, thus attracting the second and third zombies.

The knife smoothly cut their cervical vertebrae, and as blood gushed out, they all fell to the ground and never moved again.

Over there, Yukinoshita also easily dealt with the two zombies that were heading towards her.

After Uesugi Genshin killed the last one, a new one appeared around the corner, probably attracted by the sound of their fighting.

They continued to attack without stopping until no more zombies appeared from the corner and they walked back to the living room which had become clean.

Small spaces composed of soft sofas and small round glass tables fill the first floor.

The wallpaper and lighting have a fresh feel because a lot of green is used.

However, whether it was the potted plants, the items on the table, or the decorative bookshelf in the distance, they were all scattered on the ground, clean yet messy.

Holding the handle of the knife, he knocked on the ground. The sound echoed in the hall, but no new zombies appeared.

"Safe." Uesugi Genshin said, turning back to look at Yukinoshita, "Are you feeling alright?"

"It's okay." After taking a few deep breaths, Yukinoshita Yukino at least had a calm expression on her face, but her heart might still be beating fast.

After a quick check of the surroundings, they started to move towards the second floor.

Unlike the spacious first floor, the second floor is made up of small rooms, each of which obviously has its own purpose.

Wooden tables and chairs were piled up at the staircase, as if to block intruders.

But it doesn't work very well, there are too few of them, they can simply crawl over them, and it doesn't serve as a barrier.

She waited quietly for Yukinoshita to come over. It was quite convenient for her to move around in pants.

So Uesugi Genshin ignored her and held his breath. There was no movement in the corridor, as if there was really no one there.

Since the doors are all closed, why not go to the third floor to check the situation first? Thinking of this, Uesugi Genshin suggested, "Let's go to the third floor first."

"Hmm." The only reply he could hear was a cute humming sound from her nose.

Uesugi Genshin took her to the third floor again. The third floor was also very quiet. There was no one and no zombies.

He walked forward quietly until he heard a sound.

It came from one of the rooms.

Gurgle, gurgle, as if rice is cooking.

This couldn't have been done by a zombie; it must have been done by a human, a living person.

Uesugi Genshin stopped at the door and looked at Yukinoshita.

She blinked slightly, but there was something incredible in her eyes.

Because cooking is like returning to the past, making people feel relaxed.

He tilted his head towards the door and made a gesture to indicate that he was going to open it. Yukinoshita Yukino took a step back, gripped the baseball bat tightly in her hand, and remained alert.

Uesugi Genshin grasped the door handle, turned it slowly, and finally opened it.

There were two adult men inside, and adult means they were probably in their thirties or forties.

Because they all had beards, very long beards, and they looked messy as if they hadn't been cleaned for more than a month, which made their ages a little blurry.

There was also an indescribable odor in the room, and the smell must have come from the human body.

"What?!" One of them noticed them and screamed, "How did you get in? What are you doing?"

The other person turned around and looked surprised, with a kitchen knife in his hand.

Both of them looked visibly haggard. No, haggard was not enough to describe their current state.

He was in a daze, and when he saw Uesugi Genshin and the others, he subconsciously showed a vicious expression and murderous eyes, which made Uesugi Genshin almost think that he would rush over with the knife in his hand.

But in the end, it didn't happen.

The four of them were silent for a second, the only sound at this moment being the gurgling sound of boiling water.

"Um..., were you the ones who posted the SOS sign on the outside of the building?" Yukinoshita Yukino was the first to step forward and speak.

The man holding the kitchen knife was also stunned, and then his ferocious expression instantly shrank back. His face was calm as if nothing had happened. He admitted in a low voice, "Yes."

The man stared at Yukinoshita, as if he had never seen such a beautiful girl before.

Greed? Or curiosity?

At least Uesugi Genshin didn't have a good impression of him. He was an ordinary office worker who didn't clean up and looked very disgusting like a homeless person. On the one hand, appearance reflects the heart, but of course he would not let his guard down because of a person's appearance.

As for the other one, he was also stunned by Yukinoshita Yukino and completely ignored Uesugi Genshin who was still standing with the sword in his hand.

"...Are you the only two here?" The question from Yukinoshita Yukino brought them back to their senses.

"Yes, yes." The man with the knife did not answer immediately and was even a little hesitant.

But after answering, they looked at each other and then there was no further words, which made Uesugi Genshin a little alert.

...Because this is the state of someone waiting for rescue?

"I see." Yukinoshita Yukino frowned and immediately looked around, "Are you guys cooking?"

"Yes." The man holding the kitchen knife invited, grinning and showing his yellow teeth, "Would you like to eat with us?"

"What's delicious?" Putting the knife back into his waist, Uesugi Genshin walked past Yukinoshita and stood in front.

At this time, the man holding the knife looked at him seriously and said, "Ah~, it's meat. It's delicious."

"Yeah, yeah." Another person echoed in a convincing manner.

"You haven't eaten yet today, right?" The man with the knife stared at Uesugi Genshin and asked slowly.

"Yeah, I'm so hungry." Taking his hand off the hilt of the knife, Uesugi Genshin spread out his hands and smiled.

This made Yukinoshita Yukino glance at his back, and then she nodded and said, "I haven't eaten yet today."

"Just right, it's almost done." The man with the knife lifted the lid of the pot as if to show off, and white hot steam rose from the pot.

"This pot may not be enough to eat." Uesugi Genshin walked to the pot and looked at the meat boiled in white water. The blood foam was not skimmed off, and the surface of the water was covered with pink fine powder.

At the same time, he also noticed that the man's hand holding the knife suddenly shook as he approached.

"Well, then I'll cut a little more and put it in." The man with the knife said this, then walked to the table over there, took out a piece of meat with bones, and started cutting it.
