Reincarnation Paradise: The Void Debt Collector

Lin Yi didn't hesitate. He carefully selected a few dishes from the pile of lunch boxes and began to eat them.

Seeing that Lin Yi was eating with gusto, the others, although feeling nauseous, gritted their teeth and forced themselves to swallow.

They understood that this was not the time to be particular about food and drink; restoring their physical strength was the key to their escape.

After the necessary rest, everyone sat together and began to discuss the next action plan.

"Lin Yi, what are your plans next?" Miyamoto Rei turned her gaze to Lin Yi.

Ever since Lin Yi demonstrated his strong strength and cool head, she has become accustomed to relying on Lin Yi's decisions.

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Yi slowly spoke: "We should find a relatively secluded place to settle down temporarily. Just like in those zombie movies, big cities tend to fall quickly. On the contrary, sparsely populated small villages may be spared because they are not easily noticed."

After hearing this, everyone nodded, indicating their agreement with the proposal.

"As for the specific place to stay, I won't choose it." Lin Yi added, "I'm not a local, and I'm not familiar with the geographical environment here."

After saying this, Lin Yi chose to remain silent. He had already given enough hints and directions, and now he expected Takagi Saya to play her due role.

"Let's go to my house," Takagi Saya suggested. "My family moved to the countryside some time ago. It's sparsely populated there, which just meets our needs." As she spoke, she pushed up her glasses on the bridge of her nose, obviously ready to demonstrate her value in the team.

"Good suggestion, but how do we get there?" Komuro Takashi frowned. "If I remember correctly, Saya, your home is about 50 kilometers away from the school. It's such a long distance that it will probably take at least two or three days to walk." He had been to Saya Takagi's family villa some time ago and had a clear understanding of the distance.

In the apocalypse, a journey of fifty kilometers is indeed a daunting challenge.

At this time, Marikawa Shizuka also made a suggestion: "If possible, we can go to my friend's house first. I remember that her family has a military jeep, and it is amphibious, which can greatly shorten our travel time."

Shizuka Marikawa's friend Rika Minami is a top five sharpshooter in the national police shooting competition, so her family does have some special supplies that are difficult for ordinary civilians to obtain.

After determining the target and route, the group began to discuss the specific action details around this plan.

Lin Yi chose to rest aside.

The previous fierce battle had consumed a lot of his physical strength. Now he needed to recover his energy and prepare for the long journey ahead.

Chapter 12 Tokyo TV interrupts the news

The sun gradually sets, and its afterglow gently shines on the campus of Fujimi University School, casting a tinge of sadness on this land that was once filled with laughter and joy.

The rampant infection has plunged the campus into silence and terror, as if it had been forgotten by the world.

After a period of rest, the pain from Jinghao Yong's wound was relieved under the professional treatment of Marikawa Shizuka.

After taking a look at the infected bodies wandering downstairs, Lin Yi took a deep breath and said, "Okay, next we have to go to the staff room in the office building to get the car keys. Be careful on the way."

Everyone nodded to show their understanding.

Then they started to move. For added protection, they put on as many layers of clothes as possible in case of emergency.

Although doing so will slightly reduce their agility, the extra protection will undoubtedly increase their chances of survival when facing the infected.

Komuro Takashi and others put on rugby caps and carefully moved the tables, chairs and benches piled at the rooftop exit, preparing for the next action.

On the way to the first floor lobby, Miyamoto Rei deliberately went around to the second floor to visit the survivors who were hiding, trying to persuade them to join the team and leave together.

However, when these girls learned that Lin Yi and others planned to leave the teaching building and go to the office building, fear and anxiety immediately appeared on their faces.

They all said they wanted to stay where they were and were unwilling to risk going to unknown places.

Looking at their nervous and determined expressions, Miyamoto Rei felt a complex emotion in her heart. She understood that everyone had their own choices and decisions, and she could not and would not force them to take risks.

Therefore, Rei Miyamoto can only silently bless these people and hope that they can get through this difficult time safely.

Lin Yi stood on the first floor of the teaching building, carefully observing the infected people outside through the window.

Compared to the morning, the number of infected people outside the teaching building has decreased significantly, with only a dozen left wandering aimlessly nearby.

Lin Yi speculated that as time went on, some infected people might have left or no longer lingered in this area for other reasons.

This observation was good news for him because it meant that the threat they faced was reduced.

He turned around and made a gesture, which was a signal to Komuro Takashi, Miyamoto Rei and Busujima Saeko, indicating that they were ready to take action.

These people are the core combat force of the team, and it is more than enough for them to deal with these small number of infected people.

In the brief confrontation, they accurately and effectively sent the infected roaming nearby back to hell one by one.

After clearing out the threats on the road, Lin Yi waved to the back, indicating that they could bring Jing Haoyong over.

With the close cooperation of everyone, they successfully crossed the perimeter of the teaching building and headed towards the office building.

After entering the office building, Lin Yi adopted the same strategy and found a solid object to block the door to ensure safety.

Fortunately, the outbreak occurred during school hours, and the number of infected people in the office building was not large.

This relaxed everyone's tense nerves a little.

However, for Takashi Komuro, his heart was filled with anger.

He looked at his classmates and teachers, who had been with him day and night and were very familiar to him, and saw how they had now turned into such a horrible appearance. Anger burned in his heart.

He gripped the weapon tightly and killed the infected one by one without mercy.

Every swing seemed to vent his inner dissatisfaction and anger.

It was not until the last infected person fell that Komuro Takashi stopped, panting, and the anger in his heart subsided a little.

In the staff room, the afterglow of the setting sun softly shines through the window, onto the neat desk, giving the exercise books a layer of golden luster.

This office, which was busy and noisy in the past, is now immersed in tranquility, as if time has quietly stopped at this moment.

After experiencing a series of tension and danger, everyone's nerves were finally able to relax a little.

After making sure there were no infected bodies in the room, they put down their weapons and began to search for useful supplies in an orderly manner.

Komuro Takashi leaned tiredly in his office chair. He tried to turn on the TV, hoping to get some valuable information from it.

The flashing images and sounds on the TV screen add a bit of vitality to this quiet space.

"Urgent news! Urgent news!" the reporter on TV said anxiously.

"The government has begun to discuss emergency measures, whether to deploy the Self-Defense Forces to maintain public order, but both the ruling party and the opposition party have denied this."

At this critical moment, neither the ruling party nor the opposition party wants to give their political opponents an excuse to deploy the Self-Defense Forces in violation of the constitution, which would affect the upcoming general election.

"It's already this late! Those politicians above are still hesitating whether to send troops. What are they thinking?" Upon hearing this, Komuro Takashi slammed his fist on the desk in anger, and the sound echoed in the empty office.

He couldn't understand how those government officials could be so indifferent and selfish, caring only about their own political interests and ignoring the safety of people's lives when the country was in an unprecedented crisis.

At this moment, Komuro Takashi suddenly understood Lin Yi's previous decision. Lin Yi did not communicate with the Japanese government in advance, and he probably saw through the true colors of these politicians.

If it were him, he would probably make the same choice as Lin Yi - not to cooperate with this group of people who only know how to fight for power and profit and ignore the suffering of the people.

Busujima Saeko glanced at Komuro Takashi calmly, and seeing that he was a little out of control, she silently picked up the remote control and changed the TV channel.

The new TV station is a local channel in Saitama Prefecture, and it is also closely following this sudden virus disaster.

Different from the reports we have seen before, this time the TV reports did not use the term "zombies", but instead called the infected people victims of a "killer disease."

This subtle difference reflects a gradual shift in the media and public's perception of the disaster.

On the TV screen, the scene behind the reporter was in chaos.

The police are trying their best to fight the infected, but they obviously don't know enough about the characteristics of the infected.

Many police officers took to shooting infected people in the legs in an attempt to knock them out that way.

However, this approach has almost no effect on these infected bodies that have lost their sense of touch.

Even if they were shot in the legs, they would only stagger for a moment, and then continue to move forward tenaciously, dragging their broken bodies.

Suddenly, the picture on the TV screen began to shake violently, and then the camera fell heavily to the ground.

Then came the screams of the photographers and reporters outside the screen. This sudden change made everyone in front of the TV feel terrified.

The next second, the TV screen fell into complete darkness, leaving only those shrill screams and chaotic shouts echoing in the empty staff room.

Busujima Saeko shook her head gently. She switched to Tokyo TV, and a food variety show that was originally being broadcast was suddenly interrupted.

The host took a piece of paper that was urgently handed to him, and his originally relaxed and happy expression instantly became solemn.

He began to report the current infection situation seriously, his tone filled with unprecedented urgency.

"How is this possible? Even Tokyo TV has started reporting this. Is the world really going to end?" Hirano Kouta was unable to accept this sudden reality. He fell to his knees powerlessly, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

Everyone was so shocked by this sudden change that they were speechless.

Seeing this, Busujima Saeko decisively turned off the TV. She didn't want this panic to continue to spread and affect the morale of the entire team.

Miyamoto Rei stared blankly at the black TV screen, and the confusion and bewilderment in her heart surged like a tide.

"What should I do?" she murmured to herself, her voice revealing endless confusion and helplessness.

She took out her cell phone again and tried to call home with a glimmer of hope.

However, the only sound coming from the receiver was still the cold busy tone, as if mocking her helplessness and despair.

Chapter 13: Greenland, the Island of Gods

“Is there any safe place in the world now?”

Miyamoto Rei stood lonely by the window in the office, her lonely and helpless figure reflected on the window glass.

She gently covered her face with her palms, her shoulders shaking slightly as she sobbed uncontrollably.

Lines of clear tears quietly slid down her cheeks.

Her thoughts drifted uncontrollably towards those sweet memories of her parents. Those once warm and innocent scenes were now like sharp arrows, piercing her already fragile heart time and time again.

She simply couldn't imagine that the home that was once full of laughter and joy had now turned into a desolate ruin.

She was afraid to think deeply and face the unbearable cruel reality.

"Impossible," Takagi Saya's voice was like a bolt from the blue, instantly extinguishing the fire of hope that everyone had just ignited. "This virus is obviously an explosive infection. It quickly caused the same symptoms around the world. There is no safe place in this world anymore."

She sat in front of the computer in the office. The information about the infected body on the screen was like a flood, constantly refreshing. Every new piece of information seemed to announce the death of hope.

Just when everyone was falling into the abyss of despair, Lin Yi calmly uttered a few words: "Not necessarily." Although his voice was calm, it was like the dawn of light, dispelling the haze in everyone's hearts.

Everyone turned to Lin Yi, waiting for his next words.

“Ever heard of Greenland?”

"Greenland? Where is this place?"

When Lin Yi mentioned the name "Greenland", a hint of doubt flashed in everyone's eyes, but then it was replaced by expectation.

Miyamoto Rei thought about what she had learned in geography class, but unfortunately, she had no memory of Greenland.

Saya Takagi is quite familiar with the geography of various parts of the world, and her mind is quickly searching for detailed information about Greenland.

After a moment, a look of surprise that was hard to conceal crossed her face.

"Greenland," she began excitedly, her voice full of hope, "is located in the northeast of North America. It is not only an autonomous territory of Denmark, but also the largest island in the world."

She paused for a moment and continued, "It is worth mentioning that Greenland's industrialization is quite good. Thanks to its rich offshore oil and natural gas resources, the island's economic development is relatively stable. If we can successfully get there, we may be able to find an ideal place for refuge."

As everyone listened to Saya Takagi's story, a spark of hope was rekindled in their hearts.

Although they knew very little about Greenland, at this moment, they chose to completely trust the judgment of Lin Yi and Takagi Saya, looking forward to finding new life in this distant land.

Shizuka Marikawa squatted on the ground, carefully and patiently opening each drawer of the desk one by one, carefully searching for the items that everyone urgently needed.

"Found it!" Shizuka Marikawa's voice broke the silence in the office.

She held a labeled car key in her hand and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

"Let's go, it's time to leave this damn place."

Following Lin Yi's order, everyone stood up and prepared to leave this place full of terror and despair.

Busujima Saeko gently stroked the white nanmu sword in her hand. Her eyes were deep and cold, revealing a murderous intent that was difficult to conceal.

After a whole day of bloody fighting, the wildness and desire for killing in her heart surged like a tide and could no longer be hidden.

The aura around her became fierce and intimidating, invisibly bringing a heavy sense of oppression to the people around her.

Although her companions felt a little uncomfortable, at this doomsday moment, they knew that Busujima Saeko might be able to better adapt to this cruel world in this state.

Therefore, no one spoke out to criticize her, but just silently accepted her condition.
