The Cloud-Raised Brave Man's Travels

Daisy follows the mopping-up duo. They've only just met, so why is Keya and Aunt Zaoban's relationship progressing so quickly? Is it a case of like-mindedness or mutual admiration?

Or maybe? Or maybe it was the morning lady's deliberate pandering?

Chapter 62: Tide of Zombies

"So there are things a maid like you can't do."

"I'm not a god, how can I know everything——"

Koya and his group have already left the Shinomiya residence, with Hinagiku still driving. Their original plan was to rest at the Shinomiya residence for a night before heading into the city, but Koya and Hinagiku had not expected things to go so smoothly. After they vacated the Shinomiya residence, the sun was still hanging in the sky. They glanced at their watches and it was only half past four. Summer had just arrived in this world, and the daytime hours were still very long. After some discussion, the three of them decided to go into the city tonight!

If they save a little time on the road, they can find Chika and her family sooner. You know, not everyone is a superhuman like Hayasaka Nao... Maybe just a few hours can help them survive.

"Where do we go next?"

"Let's go to Qianhua's house. If we find Qianhua's family, we can go back."

"what?"

"I'm an orphan. Mashiro's family is with John Bull. I just told you about Kaguya's situation. Mafuyu-sensei's family isn't in Tokyo either."

So, was the Tokyo rescue operation already fifty percent complete? Koya didn't bother asking further questions. His goal was clear: to ensure the safety of Kirisu Mafuyu and the other five while becoming as strong as possible. He hadn't forgotten the Black Goliath that descended on the eighteenth floor. Facing such a monster, who besides the first-level adventurers of Loki's clan could guarantee their own safety? Every bit of strength he gained in this world would ensure he and Hatsune a little safer back in the dungeon.

In a corner of the city, at the Fujiwara residence, four women were constantly moving all kinds of furniture to the doors and windows. All the entrances and exits of the room were completely blocked by them, leaving no way out for themselves.

There must be a reason why they blocked the door and cut off their own escape route a week after the zombie crisis broke out...

The Fujiwara family's mansion is located in Neon's most expensive residential area, where most of the residents are high-ranking officials and politicians. Compared with other places in Tokyo, the population density here is pitifully low, and in order to protect the politicians, sufficient protection is also done here. The entire residential area is surrounded by a two-meter iron fence, and there are three-meter-high concrete walls around the houses. It can be said that as long as you are not infected and turned into a zombie in the first place, you will be safe here.

"Sister...can we survive?"

"Don't worry, Mengye, sister will protect you."

"Don't worry too much, Mengye. Those zombies can't get through the three-meter-high concrete wall. Besides, we've sealed the doors and windows, so nothing will be a problem."

"Really? Sister Zhenfei?"

"I won't lie to you."

Disaster is like a pair of hands that push some people to grow up quickly. A week ago, Shijo Maki was still an ordinary JK with a love-brain. In a week, she has forgotten who is Tanuma Tsubasa and who is Kashiwagi Nagisa... What she is thinking about now is how much food is left, whether the rescue will come, and whether she will see the sun tomorrow.

Before the zombie crisis broke out, Shijo Maki and Iino Miko were invited by Moeha to visit the Fujiwara family, and by the way, they denounced their sister who abandoned her and ran to the holiday villa; unexpectedly, the zombie crisis broke out not long after they arrived at the Fujiwara family, and the four girls struggled to survive here; not all survivors have reliable teammates like Hayasaka Ai and Katsura Hinagiku, at least these four in the Fujiwara family can be collectively called losers.

Because these four people are physically weak, they will be out of breath after running a thousand meters, and they know nothing about fighting. To put it bluntly, they really have no choice but to wait for death.

The four of them arrived at the second floor of the house and looked out the window. Everywhere they looked was filled with people. They were crowded together, looking like they were visiting a tourist attraction during the holidays. But how could there be so many people gathered at this time of year? It was obvious... the zombies were blocking the entrance to the Fujiwara family's house. Hundreds of zombies were huddled there.

When Koya and the others arrived at the Fujiwara family on foot, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. As for the car, it was now in Koya's mobile warehouse. The situation in downtown Tokyo was pretty much the same as what Daisy had expected. The roads were completely blocked, so there was no way of driving into the city. That's why Koya and the others came here on foot.

The weather was pretty good today and the moonlight was quite bright, so when Koya and the others saw the scene in front of them, they were a little shocked. The Fujiwara family was surrounded by densely packed zombies, and a rough estimate was that the number might have reached thousands. They had never seen such a scene along the way. It was impossible for so many zombies to gather here for no reason, but what could be the reason?

"Why...why is this happening?"

Daisy's brows furrowed slightly. The situation before her was quite challenging. Daisy had a clear understanding of her own strength. She couldn't handle the zombie swarm before her. If she rushed in and faced the attacks from all directions, she would definitely get hurt due to negligence, and getting hurt by the zombies meant death. If she didn't rush in and instead circled around the zombie swarm and slowly cleared it, the rickety iron gate didn't seem to want to give her the time she needed.

The few zombies at the back of the encirclement seemed to have sensed the arrival of Koya and the others. They turned around and walked towards them with meaningless growls.

bang bang bang-

Three gunshots broke the silence of the night, and Hayata Nao took practical actions to help Hinagiku and Koya make a choice.

"Young people are young people. There is no time for you to hesitate in this situation. Follow me—"

Hayata Nao fired two more shots, making sure all the zombies' attention was drawn to her before jumping directly onto Koya's back.

"Run to that wall over there. You're so powerful, but why are you so stupid? Can't you just lure these zombies away? You just want to fight and kill them—Daisy, find a place to hide first. Once the zombies leave, go in and find someone. We'll be back later."

"Okay, okay Aunt Nao."

"What are you waiting for here? Run."

"Oh oh oh."

After being kicked in the butt by Hayata Nao, Koya quickly ran in the direction she pointed, and landed on a wall next to the Fujiwara family with an easy jump. Hayata Nao hung Koya's neck with one hand, and fired a few more shots at the group of zombies with the other hand. The huge noise finally caused the zombies to riot. They directly abandoned the shaky iron gate and rushed towards Koya.

"Luckily, this zombie relies on sound to locate its position, just like in the movies, otherwise it would be troublesome."

"Auntie Nao, you are so handsome."

"Well~ Thanks for the compliment. And run slower, keep those zombies hanging and running away from you."

"Ok!"

Chapter 63: Played to pieces

The four girls in the Fujiwara house were hiding in a room on the second floor. They were lying on the windowsill and quietly watching the scene outside. The sudden gunshots just now almost gave these young girls a heart attack.

Guns are relatively rare in Neon. At first, the girls didn't realize that it was a gunshot and thought it was firecrackers or something like that; but soon, bang bang bang... the continuous thunder-like sounds finally made them realize what the sound was - a gun.

Police or the military? But the scene outside the window remained the same: no police cars, no armored vehicles. So who possessed the guns? Each gunshot was like a hammer hammering at the girls' hearts, a surge of unease that sent them into a frenzy of wild speculation.

"Sister, are we going to run into some thugs? Will they kill us?"

"Mengye, what on earth are you thinking about in your little head? Don't be so outrageous!"

After hearing what Mengye said, the four girls couldn't help but think in this direction, but unlike Mengye, the ignorant girl, the other three girls were thinking, if the thug was a man, what would he do?

dong dong dong-

The sound of knocking on the glass reached the ears of several people. The four of them subconsciously looked out the window and saw a figure standing there with a knife in her hand. The moonlight happened to be obscured by clouds at this moment, and several people could not see who this ghost-like figure was.

"Ahhhhhh" x3

"Huh? Sister Daisy?"

"Huh?" X3

·Dividing line·

"Auntie Nao, it should be almost done, right?"

"Okay, let's get rid of them and run back."

Hayasaka Nao silently calculated the distance between her and the Fujiwara family in her mind, which was about ten kilometers. It would take some time for these zombies to run back at such a long distance. At least they should be able to spend the night safely.

"Auntie Nao, hold on tight!"

Koya, who was hanging on the zombie without deliberately slowing down his steps, suddenly went full throttle. Hayasaka Nao never thought that she could actually enjoy this ultimate feeling of being pushed on the back while being carried by someone... No, no, there is no seat blocking her from behind, so the feeling now should not be called a back push, but a chest push!

Hayasaka Nao leaned back as she walked. If Koya hadn't held her thighs with both hands, she might have already flown out. Hayasaka Nao held Koya's neck tightly with both hands, afraid that if she let go, she would be broken in half...

Nao Hayasaka couldn't even open her mouth to ask Koya to slow down, because as soon as she opened her mouth, she would pour words into her mouth. Let's not talk about whether she could speak clearly or not. Even if she did, who would hear her?

In five minutes, Koya ran the ten kilometers. It was also during these five minutes that Hayasaka Nao, a woman in her thirties, experienced what it meant to have a person running in front and a soul chasing behind!

"Auntie Nao, you can come down now."

Got no response.

"Aunt Nao?"

Koya turned his head in confusion and looked at Hayata Nao. He saw that this mature woman who had always maintained a poker face now looked really miserable. She rolled her eyes, her tongue stuck out of her mouth and drooled, there were two tear marks at the corners of her eyes, and her hair was a little messy from the wind...

"This expression...why does it look a bit like Hatsune Miku back then?"

Cole also sensed something was wrong, and quickly put Hayasaka Nao down and let her lean against the wall, then took out clean gauze from the mobile warehouse to tidy up her appearance. Fortunately, no one saw Aunt Nao like this, otherwise she would definitely be misunderstood.

Hayasaka Ai [Ahhhh, he actually made Mom look like that! I'm going to kill her!]

Shinomiya Kaguya [Good morning, calm down, nothing happened between them. ]

Shiina Mashiro [Ai can't beat Koya. 】

What Koya didn't know was that in order to ensure the safety of Koya and Hinagiku, Madoka and the other people who stayed at the base camp had been watching the live broadcast. They all saw Hayasaka Nao's ugly behavior clearly, but only Hayasaka Nao was embarrassed, so there was no problem as long as they didn't mention this matter in front of Xiaoai, who was a mother-control freak.

"Koya, run slower next time..."

"Ahem, sorry Aunt Nao."

Hayasaka Nao's hands and legs were still a little weak. Even though Koya's running speed just now didn't exceed the speed of a sports car, let alone the speed of a high-speed train or an airplane...how could it be the same? The feeling of having the wind directly hit her face was really terrifying! The feeling of having only her thighs fixed was really insecure!

Seeing that Hayasaka Nao was unable to move, Koya picked her up in a princess hug and then jumped over the wall.

"Auntie Nao, you're a little light. You need to eat more."

"Shut up...let me rest."

"Oh."

Shinomiya Kaguya: "Why do these two... feel like they're in love? Isn't this a princess hug that only appears in comics?!"

Shiina Mashiro [Yeah! This is something only couples do! ]

Shinomiya Kaguya【As expected! 】

Hayasaka Ai [You two, shut up! ]

Someone's defense has been broken, but I won't say who it is. Hayasaka Ai certainly believes that her mother wouldn't fall so easily, but she can't help but think about it in that direction when others start to stir up trouble.

Jizi: [Alright, alright, stop provoking Xiaoai.]

Doctor: "Actually, if we're really talking about boyfriends and girlfriends, those of us with the system are more likely to become Keya's girlfriends. After all, we can directly see his affection for us. This ability to directly see the other person's true feelings is something many girls dream of."

Fujimaru Tachibana [Speaking of favorability... Sisters in the apocalyptic world, what's your current favorability rating?]

Morning Love […10 o’clock.]

Shinomiya Kaguya [5 o'clock]

Shiina Mashiro【I have 30 points.】

Kirisu Mafuyu [20 points. 】

Fujiwara Chika [Chika, I have 50 points! ]

The appearance of Fujiwara Chika ended this "game" and also broke Shinomiya Kaguya's defenses on the spot. They had clearly spent the same amount of time together, so why was her favorability ten times higher than his?!

Daisy: [Let's not worry about the favorability issue for now... Xiao Ai, strengthen our shelter's defenses as much as possible. Something's wrong.]

Hayasaka Ai: "I understand, but how much reinforcement should be done?"

Daisy [The stronger the better...]

In the Fujiwara residence, Katsura Hinagiku patted Moe's little head with a headache, but in the end she just sighed helplessly. This is Chika's sister, and she can't abandon her no matter what.

"System, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

[Of course, I'm sure of it. This little girl, Mengye, possesses antibodies to the zombie virus. Zombies will unconsciously gravitate towards her because they instinctively want to be 'cured.' And Mengye's range of influence will grow larger over time.]

"Alas... I don't know whether this is a blessing or a curse!"

Chapter 64: What are zombies?

After Koya and the other two ran off with the zombies, Katsura Hinagiku climbed over the wall and entered the Fujiwara residence. Then, she jumped to the second-floor window, giving the three cowardly girls a fright. Fortunately, these girls had no weapons, otherwise, they would have hit Hinagiku a few times in their fright.

"Yako, Shinki? I didn't expect you to be here too. That's really great."

Gui Chuju gently pushed open the window. These four girls were really careless... They had completely sealed the first floor, but the second-floor window was left unlocked. Gui Chuju simply pushed the window open and slid aside. She lightly jumped from the windowsill and landed in front of the four people with a gentle smile on her face.

"President?! Wow—President."

Iino Miko threw herself directly into Katsura Hinagiku's arms and burst into tears. To Iino Miko, Hinagiku was the unparalleled hero who descended from the sky wearing purple and gold armor and stepped on colorful auspicious clouds. Perhaps it was because Katsura Hinagiku's image in school was too reliable, the sense of security that kept emerging in Iino Miko's heart when she saw Hinagiku directly broke through her psychological defenses, and the fear and anxiety of the past week disappeared with her tears at this moment.

"Don't cry, don't cry, Xiao Mizi."

Katsura Hinagiku patted Iino Miko's head, as if she was comforting a puppy at home.

[Daisy, touch the little girl with pink hair. I think something is wrong with her.]

'Um? '
