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

It is more like a special reminder to himself rather than a reminder to Uesugi Genshin.

However, Uesugi Genshin's next words made his heart tremble.

"Armed reconnaissance?"

"!"

"Hey Hey hey?"

"Hahaha, just kidding." Uesugi Genshin folded his hands behind his head and said teasingly.

"I always feel that my years of practice have been shattered by being with you."

"What kind of practice? Is it the silent meditation?"

The two chatted intermittently, and looking forward, they could already see the huge golden eye snapper sign standing there, which was as eye-catching as the big shell of the Krusty Krab.

The relaxed expression on Uesugi Genshin's face stiffened, then tensed again. He lowered his hands behind his head, his wrists drooping slightly, and the head of the baseball bat tilted downward toward the ground.

It is impossible for the fishy smell inside to be carried outside by the flow of air.

Which smell is stronger, the smell of blood or the smell of sea?

He knew the answer immediately, thinking as he looked at the rows of wide-open roller shutters and the group of wanderers.

"What should we do?" Hachiman asked.

This was not his area of ​​expertise, so he naturally turned to Uesugi Genshin, who obviously had more experience, for advice.

"Anyway, let's clean up the outside first."

"Live fish will go bad if left outside for a day and a night."

Therefore, most fishing boats that have the conditions either process the fish directly on board or try to keep the fish alive.

"It should freeze if processed."

"Who knows." Hachiman said uncertainly.

"Yes."

The two reached a consensus that they had to go in and take a look at the situation. The longer they delayed, the worse it would get.

If you live alone, rescuing fresh food from the supermarket is something you can do or not.

Just relying on the packaged food and canned food in the entire city is enough to survive for 5 or 6 years. If you are still not self-sufficient by that time, it only means that this person is not suitable for surviving in the doomsday.

Now, with hundreds of people, food here becomes particularly important.

Uesugi Genshin counted them carefully and found that there were twenty-four or twenty-five of them, but half of them had visible wounds.

"Let's lure him out slowly." He decided on a strategy. Even though it would take time, it was a safe approach.

"can."

The two of them squatted at the corner, crouched down, stuck their heads out, and observed the front.

"here we go."

"Oh."

After a response, Uesugi Genshin carefully leaned forward a little so that the zombie that happened to be turning towards this side could see him.

He wondered what their eyesight was like, and wondered what they were thinking.

It kept shaking its body like a tumbler, and the moment it "saw" the human figure, it ran towards this side with extreme "excitement".

"Let me see what you can do." He smiled and patted Hachiman's shoulder.

"Ah."

Uesugi Genshin and Hikigaya Hachiman retreated to the blind spot of their vision, so that they could fight more safely without worrying about attracting extra zombies.

Three of them appeared from the corner, all of them were running corpses.

"I'm two, you're one."

"it is good."

After a simple conversation, the two ran left and right.

In order to lure the second one, Uesugi Genshin slightly shortened the distance between them.

An unknown clerk, wearing a dusty blue apron, rushed over.

He stretched out his right foot and kicked it away, hitting the second one in the skull, blood splattered on the bat, and the white of the eyeball almost popped out.

Hikigaya Hachiman held the stick with both hands just like he did yesterday, and after getting close enough, he charged the weapon in his hand and swung it out.

After all, it was not a tumbler. Its body, which looked shaky to begin with, could no longer maintain its balance and it fell to the ground, writhing. It wanted to get up, but was killed by the next blow.

"Isn't the sound too loud?"

"Maybe."

It was as if he had misjudged the sound of solid wood colliding with equally solid bones.

The sound was extremely clear in their ears, but they didn't know whether those guys would notice it.

Uesugi Genshin walked a dozen steps and returned to the corner again, looking along the edge and looking inside.

There was no unusual movement in the distance, but as we got deeper, we saw a creature nearby moving towards us.

Knew it.

He quickly stretched another part of his body forward, attracting the attention of the other one.

Only two zombies were running towards this side with a purpose.

I thought that based on what I had seen before, there were probably only eight or nine of them nearby, so I would probably attract only four or five of them.

He turned back to Hachiman and said, "There are quite a few, about four or five. Be careful."

"Aren't you going to retreat temporarily?"

"We can't even handle this amount, what are we going to do next?"

"Be more confident." Uesugi Genshin patted his back. His back, which was usually hunched, was straight at this moment.

Hikigaya Hachiman twitched his nose, took a deep breath into his lungs, and his beating heart seemed to pump out strength again.

Both of them were walking to the sides and taking their positions.

The first two that came out ran towards them hungrily, and when they looked back from the unobstructed space behind them, they saw three more turning the corner.

After knocking down the two leading attackers, the moment he looked up, his heart twitched violently because of the danger that was coming again. The sound was clearly audible in his chest.

Hikigaya Hachiman turned the baseball bat he had just swung, spun it around, and swung it forward from behind, delivering a heavy, critical hit.

His hand felt a little bent due to the rebounding force, and the bat seemed to be broken, but when he looked again it was intact, which made him feel relieved.

Baseball bats come in three types: wooden, aluminum, and composite. They are not meant to be used to hit people, so it would be abnormal if they were not damaged.

This one is made of a composite material, but when I say composite, it means it is a composite of bamboo and wood.

Do you think it is strong?

This lightweight type of material exists because the impact feeling is not inferior to that of pure metal.

Two more crisp sounds were heard next to him, and Uesugi Genshin had also dealt with the zombies there.

Hikigaya Hachiman extended his bat toward the body lying on the ground and poked it, but there was no movement except that caused by the force he had just applied.

The cell phone fell out of the zombie's trouser pocket, slid and clicked onto the ground.

"what."

Hikigaya Hachiman stared at the zombies and bent down to pick up his phone.

When my finger touched the screen, the phone lit up, and the "11" after the missed call on the screen was very dazzling.

He turned off the light on the screen again and put the phone back to him.

"You have people who are worried about you too."

“Even the dead want to come back to life, so we have to live well too.”

"Yeah~"

Uesugi Genshin praised: "It seems that you have fully adapted to the battle."

“I really don’t want to adapt.”

There is something called talent, a gift that allows you to quickly master something once you’ve touched it.

Under the pressure of the environment, Hikigaya Hachiman is growing rapidly and becoming a qualified fighter.

"It's much safer than yesterday, thanks to you."

"yesterday?"

"I went to the cafeteria with Hayama and Hiratsuka Shizuka-sensei yesterday, and there were some zombies there."

"I see."

No wonder he is so skilled, it turns out he is an experienced person.

Hikigaya Hachiman thought about the nervousness and anxiety he felt yesterday. Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka was planning to take on everything and rush to the front alone, forcing him to step forward to cover her. The sense of urgency and worry about what might happen behind the scenes were more uncomfortable than today.

"That's because we only need to pay attention to the front now." Uesugi Genshin explained with a smile.

"Yeah, so it's easy."

Just swing the bat forward.

"Hyun Shin."

"what happened?"

The two continued to squat at the corner, trying to attract the attention of the zombies in the distance, but they were really as stupid as the monsters in the wild map.

"How can I be as strong as you?"

"Hmm~, how about Suzhen one million times?"

"One hundred, ten thousand?" Hachiman murmured. He almost thought he had heard the number wrongly.

"Even if I teach you swordsmanship now, it's just a move. The real practice lies in yourself."

Moves? What's the point of teaching a living sword that focuses on fighting? The art of killing mainly relies on instinct and experience.

"The instinctive reaction when killing comes from the fact that you swing your weapon hundreds or thousands of times every day. As long as you have accumulated thousands of times, at that moment your muscles will complete the action even a fraction of a second before the other person."

"Accumulation." Hikigaya Hachiman pondered the word in his mind.

"The experience of fighting can make you remember deeply. The lessons you learned, your shortcomings, and the regrets you feel after fighting will help you avoid making the same mistakes next time. I can help you with this."

"How to help?"

"1v1 battles, actual combat is a way to hone your skills."

Does this mean we have to go back for special training?

"Thanks."

Hachiman would only be so proactive when his original intention was for his sister, just like raising her up alone.

After chatting, the zombies standing far away turned their heads and looked over here.

"Ah, I finally found it."

It is indeed a bit too random to lure people only by the sight from the opposite side, but the unknown dangers in the building must be avoided.

This time there were two of them, and they moved slowly.

"It's a bit slow." Hachiman supported his knees and half-knelt behind Uesugi Genshin.

"It was a living person who was bitten." The nerves and muscles were all eaten.

There's no need to tense up. You have the whole afternoon today, and some time to rest while waiting for work is also a kind of rest.

While waiting for them to come over, Uesugi Genshin sat down directly.

"Ah~" A comfortable feeling.
