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

This completely alerted the zombies in the nearby rooms, and the situation spiraled out of control like a toppling domino effect.

Uesugi Genshin charged ahead, casually slashing away the zombie that came out of the room on his right, and then used a Tang Bamboo attack on the zombie coming towards him.

After a brief pause, Horikita Manabu had already overtaken Uesugi Genshin and was at the forefront, while Amasawa Ichika silently covered Uesugi Genshin's back.

New zombies kept appearing behind the three of them, gradually forming a wave that surged toward them.

This startled all the zombies on the floor.

People in the stairwell came out to meet them, and Uesugi Genshin spotted Kiryuin at a glance. Even though her physical features were mostly hidden, he could still recognize her.

Kiryuin Fuka kicked away a lunging zombie, then rushed forward and struck another one with her stick. She then asked Uesugi Genshin, who was running towards her, "Did you get it?"

"Yes," Uesugi Genshin replied affirmatively.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, mustered their last bit of strength before relaxing, and retreated into the stairwell.

The moment the door closed, a zombie slammed into it, leaving a red claw mark on the glass.

Once the person who closed the door was sure it was closed, they turned the lock a few more times.

“Let’s go to the basement level,” Horikita Manabu said simply.

Everyone started descending the stairs without any particular order, leaping quickly between the steps.

Gradually, the continuous knocking sounds above my head stopped. Looking up, I saw a sign on the wall indicating that I was on the basement level.

-----------------

I walked quickly past the lobby in front of the vault. The floor was littered with the corpses of zombies dressed in security guard uniforms, and the entire ground was covered in blood.

In fact, Japan also has strict gun control laws, so security personnel focus more on training in the use of knives and blunt weapons, and do not carry guns.

At least Uesugi Genshin didn't see anything like a holster on the fallen corpse.

The people here have already started moving the bodies, trying their best not to let them block the way.

"Phew, it seems everything went smoothly." Shirogane Miyuki breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the access card in Uesugi Genshin's hand.

"So far, yes." Uesugi Genshin handed the access card to Shinomiya Kaguya. "How do I use this?"

“It’s very simple. One person stands on each side, and they swipe their cards at the same time, with an interval of no more than one second.” Kaguya Shinomiya walked to one side of the door.

Meanwhile, Miyuki Shirogane had already removed his gloves, took a card, and moved to the other side.

"President, I'll say three, two, one, let's all attack together," said Kaguya Shinomiya.

Uesugi Genshin and Horikita Manabu took a few steps back to watch the two men's actions.

"Three, two, one."

As Kaguya Shinomiya's countdown ended, the two swiped their cards simultaneously, the green light came on, and the gray-black glass door in front of them began to open.

A winding tunnel appeared before them.

"The vault is just ahead," Kaguya Shinomiya said, standing in front of the door. At that moment, she really did seem like a bank employee showing them around, even though the bank originally belonged to her family.

To avoid chaos, they each took one or two people with them and walked forward.

The tunnel isn't long, and the infrared beam should be inside this tunnel, but it won't be issuing any alarms anymore.

At the end of the path, a standard vault door came into view, a round door with a handwheel in the middle that looked like a ship's wheel.

"Please wait a moment." Kaguya Shinomiya stepped forward and turned the mechanical lock on the door according to the password.

At that moment, Uesugi Genshin felt his hem being tugged. Looking back, he saw Amasawa staring intently at him.

"Senior, are you excited right now?" she asked in a light, playful tone.

“…A little.” Uesugi Genshin thought for a moment and gave her an affirmative answer.

"Honestly, there's nothing wrong with showing it more." Tianze Yixia pouted as she looked at his calm expression.

“It’s not too late to express it after you see the actual product,” Uesugi Genshin said, shrugging his shoulders.

"Alright." At this moment, Kaguya Shinomiya had already unlocked the vault door.

Then she instructed two people to pull open the vault door. In fact, the vault door was very heavy, and the two people pulled it as if they were using a lot of force.

More realistically, Kaguya Shinomiya could open the door by herself, but the thought of showing off her strength in front of the student council president made her completely unwilling to do it alone.

So she had two of her subordinates pull them apart, while she herself stood next to Shirogane Miyuki.

The door was slowly pulled open, and a silvery-white light shimmered in the underground vault—it was the vault's lamp.

Tianze Yixia had already taken out his phone and quickly pressed the shutter button, producing a series of clicking sounds.

The dazzling sight of gold filling the entire space came into view.

Inside the vault of the Shinomiya Bank, piles of gold reflected light, illuminating the walls and floor, glittering brilliantly.

The gold bars were neatly arranged on shelves, each pile of them was impressive, and there were about six shelves in total.

The entire room was filled with a breathtaking atmosphere, making one want to linger for a moment and carefully examine each gold bar.

Uesugi Genshin's heart immediately settled down. He had been thinking that all that effort would have been for nothing if there was no gold in the vault.

I went inside and glanced around. There wasn't much gold here. There were six shelves in total on two floors, but each shelf wasn't very big. It could only hold about five or six suitcases.

“Now that we have power, we can move these to the freight elevator. I’ll go swipe the key card,” Kaguya Shinomiya said.

"Hmm." Uesugi Genshin nodded, then turned and asked, "How are we going to move?"

Perhaps due to the need for long-term storage, the shelves are all fixed and do not have wheels.

"I found two handcarts." With an undisguised smile, Shirogane Miyuki answered his question.

"Hmph~" Seeing Shirogane's expression, Uesugi Genshin also curled up the corners of his mouth, "Then what are we waiting for?"

move!

Chapter 367: Breaking Through the Encirclement

The boss didn't need to do the moving of the gold, but Kaguya Shinomiya was still worried and watched as the workers loaded the gold onto the handcart.

Those who witnessed the piles of gold in the vault couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh!"

Meanwhile, Uesugi Genshin stood outside the vault door, issuing instructions to the Sobu High School personnel outside via radio: "The operation is entering its final stage. The safe evacuation mission will now be complete."

“'Hojo' received.”

"General, received!"

“…Dragon King, received.”

Although Kiyotaka Ayanokouji was standing in the outer hall, he still responded, not quite understanding why Uesugi had given himself such a code name.

“We might need to make five round trips,” Kaguya Shinomiya said as she stepped forward.

"It's alright, take your time," Shirogane Miyuki said with a smile, then looked at Uesugi Genshin and Horikita Manabu and found no objections.

"That's good." With a sigh of relief, Kaguya Shinomiya waved her hand, letting the first group of people go first.

Each cart contained about a ton of gold, which would be very difficult for one person to push, but at least it was manageable.

"I'll follow along first," said Miyuki Shirogane, then followed behind Kaguya Shinomiya.

Uesugi Genshin leaned against the wall, bored, but he soon stopped being bored.

Just a dozen seconds after the first batch of gold was transported away, a piercing alarm sounded.

"What's wrong?" "What was that sound?" "Why?"

The people around panicked instantly.

Uesugi Genshin suddenly looked at Horikita Manabu, and both of them showed surprise in their eyes.

He immediately said, "I'll go out and take a look."

Horikita Manabu nodded and said, "I'll stay here and keep watch."

Uesugi Genshin immediately ran out, and Amasawa and Kiryuin quickly followed.

Although he quickly tuned the radio to Shuchiin's channel, the distance was so short that he hadn't even had time to make a call before he was already at the outside door.

He saw Kiyotaka Ayanokouji squatting in front of the cart, as if looking for something, while Miyuki Shirogane and Kaguya Shinomiya stood beside him.

“Found it, there’s something wrong with this gold.” Ayanokouji Kiyotaka stood up and showed the gold bar he had taken out to Uesugi Genshin, who had run over.

"What do you mean?" Uesugi Genshin asked, looking at him.

"It's designed to trigger an alarm when you take it out of the door, that's quite ingenious." Looking at the faint markings on it, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji tried pressing his finger firmly on the gold surface, but no mark appeared. He confirmed again, "This isn't gold, but the weight is about the same."

A staff member from a nearby advanced high school incredulously took the gold from Ayanokouji's hand, opened his mouth to bite it, and surprisingly, he didn't leave any teeth marks.

Having learned about the current situation, Uesugi Genshin picked up another gold bar, pressed his finger down, and a shallow indentation appeared; this one was genuine.

He looked up at Kaguya Shinomiya and said, "Let's get these out of here first."

"Okay." Kaguya Shinomiya nodded vigorously. She hadn't expected such an accident to happen. No one had told her about this during her last visit!

Then Uesugi Genshin grasped Shirogane Miyuki's arm, "First, find out the situation outside and have people reduce the alert level."

-----------------

"What's that sound?" Sagami turned to look at the bank building. A series of sharp whistling sounds came from inside the bank; it must be... an alarm?!

"Hey! Hey!" Yamato exclaimed in surprise, his mouth agape. Wasn't the operation going smoothly?

Sagami was the first to react and said to Yamato, "Let's go back to the underground parking lot first."

They were the group closest to the underground parking lot. According to the plan, if the alarm was triggered, they should quickly hide in the parking lot to avoid contact with the enemy.

When a zombie hears a loud noise, it enters a state of stress. In this state, anything that moves around in front of it will trigger a further reaction and alert the surrounding zombies.

"Okay." Yamato picked up the fire axe and started running.

The two of them returned to the underground parking lot with their respective team members and met up with the timber slab group.

"What's the situation now?" the minister's voice came through the radio.

Sagami immediately reported, "Zombies have appeared on the streets, but there has been no further disturbance."

In fact, because they retreated in time, they did not attract any zombies. Or rather, the alarm sound spread in all directions of the building, making it impossible to pinpoint the exact source of the sound, so the zombies' actions were not very purposeful.

"Okay, keep an eye on things and contact me anytime."

At that moment, the doors of the freight elevator opened.

"Quickly! A few people, unload the gold first," Kaguya Shinomiya ordered sternly as she stepped out of the elevator.

Zai Muza and Yamato exchanged a glance, then immediately put down their weapons and stepped forward to help.

After the gold was unloaded, Uesugi Genshin and Shirogane Miyuki ran up the stairs.

"Don't come this way!" Shirogane Miyuki shouted into the radio while waving his hand to direct the people present to load the truck.

Meanwhile, Uesugi Genshin arrived at the entrance of the parking lot and cautiously peered outside. The streets outside were not as teeming with zombies as he had imagined, but he knew that once they appeared on the streets, zombies that were watching the situation from various corners and all around would swarm out.

He went back to Baiyin and said, "Keep moving, we can still drive there later."

Upon hearing this, Kaguya Shinomiya immediately called for someone to follow her down in the freight elevator.

“But we don’t have enough cars.” Shirogane Miyuki grabbed Uesugi Genshin’s arm and said seriously.

"Get the fishing boats ready. I'll take a group of men and rush out with the car," Uesugi Genshin said, gripping Shirogane's arm.

-----------------

"Keep moving it up, all of you get moving."

Amidst the piercing alarms, Kaguya Shinomiya directed her men to move the gold onto the cart.

At this point, there's no need to distinguish which gold is real and which is fake; we can only move it all away and then figure it out.

"Don't panic, everything's alright now," she reassured them, even though she herself was feeling a little uneasy.

However, panicking in dangerous situations is fatal, especially since these unexpected situations were already covered in the plan.

Thinking of this, she felt grateful to Hayasaka for participating in the planning; as expected of Hayasaka.

"Can't someone turn the power off again?" someone shouted urgently.

"Idiot, the elevator won't work now," another person immediately scolded.

"Hurry up," Horikita Manabu said to them sternly, his brow furrowed.

"Yes Yes!"
