(Nope...can't do it...
I just...can't...
no matter how much i want to
I just...can't...SLEEP)
I was sitting in the middle of the Humvee's back seats
While i did dose off from time to time after we started driving
I kept having the same god damn dream, over and over again...
That i had a hat made of ringing alarm clocks, strapped to my head
(While i can see fine now, and my ears have stopped ringing...i still have a horrible headache...probably the reason why i keep seeing that same 'dream')
I turn my head to my right
Takashi was fast asleep with Rei sitting next to him, both covered under the same sleeping bag
(Rei certainly did not miss her chance huh...still don't understand that girl though...don't think i ever will)
...actually everybody was covered with a sleeping bag...even me
(somebody probably covered me while i was out...)
I sigh silently and turn my head towards the front seats
The only ones awake right now, were me and Shizuka who was driving, probably towards the river
Saya was sleeping with Alice on her lap in the front seat, Kohta was...umm...on the floor next to Takashi his back against the front passenger seat
(Saya sure sleeps alot...she was also out cold in the house...
...Heh...I would like to believe that she is being less toxic towards me now...
But she was asleep for half the day...and when she was awake..i was deaf..so go figure...it's more like she didn't get the chance to be
She did look worried though...still, that could have just been my blurry vision showing me what i wanted to see...)
And then i turn to my left to see Saeko sleeping with her head against the window also covered by a sleeping bag
(Well...i did say i would cockblock Takashi...
should i feel proud of my self now?
...I realized i was never present when Saeko and Takashi spoke with each other, for all i know she could have already developed feelings for him, seeing how things seem to try and stick to the events of the anime...
...ughh...
The world has ended...
I have killed things that were human a couple of hours ago without batting a frigging eyelash...
I might end up dead tomorrow...
And what i'm actually worried about is whether Saeko is going to fall for Takashi?
...i need to get my fucking priorities straight...
I mean i am not any better from Takashi when it comes down to this, he went for both Rei and Saeko...i like both Saeko and Saya...though i don't think they know that...and i intend to keep it that way)
Just as i was about to start a new war within my head Shizuka takes a sudden sharp turn to the left causing me to almost fall on Rei
"Oh crud" I hear Shizuka say before she starts darting her head around
"...Oh Thank goodness...they are all asleep...i am still a teacher..i can't speak like that in front of my students" Shizuka says as she looks around before turning her head back towards the street
(...We were on a killing spree less than an hour ago...and she is worried about swearing in front of us?...heh
Shizuka will still be Shizuka i guess...)
I smile slightly, yet for some reason, i was feeling...weighted down
And just as i moved my left shoulder...i heard a moan
I turn my head to the left following the voice and
(oh sh...)
And almost bump my head into Saeko
Whose head was now mere inches away from my mask
(Well...i guess...now i know how she ended up on Takashi's crotch in the anime...
If Shizuka ended up taking that sharp turn off-screen and he was sitting where i am now...)
I stayed like that for some time...looking at the sleeping girl
Something...has been bothering me
Ever since we escaped
Actually...bothering might be an understatement
(I made a pretty bad call back then...and i almost got Takashi and Alice killed with that flashbang...
...I know that...i do not want Saeko and Takashi to get together...because...plainly put i am jealous...
But...
What if she ends up with no reason to live if i try to interfere?...in the anime she lived on because she loved Takashi, she fought because of him...
She didn't go batshit crazy because of him
And let's be real...if she already likes him...then trying to keep them apart, is going to get her killed...or worse
I already made a bad call that almost got two people killed...who says i won't end up fucking up again...
ughhh fuck why does this have to be so complicated...
I mean...sure Takashi ain't no angel either, going for both Rei and Saeko in the anime...or well...going after every single girl if we count the island ova
But did he ever make a bad call?...Because i don't remember him ever making one...
And if he did...then my sadistic memory likes to watch me suffer by not letting me remember it...
Maybe...i should just lay off and let him lead on?
Leave everything to play out like it did in the anime...
That way i can make sure the group survives...
But still...then...)
I take a deep breath and shake my head slightly
(No...no i am not gonna think like this...for one i know that if i let things play out like that..i won't be able to stay with the group
I know my self...and i know that i will get sal...jealous...and do something very fucking stupid, probably getting my self killed...at best
If i made a wrong decision...i will just have to make up for it
...
...UGGHH my head already hurts and i am not doing my self any favors thinking like this...i am just going to burn my self out and nothing will come out of it...and i don't have time to beat my self over with my own insecurities...if i need some proof that i did something good...i just need to get to Saya's house
So...i will have to focus on what's next, in other words...Saya's house...)
I take my eyes off Saeko and look straight
(Saya's mansion...will be the turning point for me
If Shido appears there with a truck..if no matter what i do the truck ends up crashing in the barricade
Then there is a chance that the whole thing..the whole world is hard scripted to happen like in the anime...and if we end up with Saeko and Takashi splitting up from the group...
I will then leave the group...for their safety...and my sanity)
I close my eyes
(If Shido won't appear though...then it will be the first time we will actually take a real break..whole mess with adults versus kids aside
..Maybe i can get Saeko to help me with that training i asked her...
Or try to get Saya to be less toxic towards me...although...she gets even more grumpy during the time she spends in her house
I also have to check how Kohta is hanging on...his change from a passive guy to a guns-blazing maniac was too sudden...)
As I open my eyes again i could see the sun's first rays of light
(Alright me...new day, new problems
Whatever is bothering you, put it on hold...deal with it when the time is right)
I spent the next 10 minutes looking at the rising sun, kinda funny if you think about it
Seeing the rising sun in the land of the rising sun
And then i heard a groan coming from the passenger's seat as Shizuka looked to her right
"Ohh good morning Takagi" Shizuka speaks up
"...Morning" Saya whispers groggily
"How far till the river?" she asks as she rubs her eyes
"Ten minutes or so" Shizuka answers
"...Did the idiot wake up?" Saya asks again
"Idiot?..." Shizuka asks back, tilting her head
"Ughh..Sepfier did he wa..." Saya turns to look back as she starts speaking only to stop mid-sentence
"Hmm?...ohhhh" Shizuka probably curious with Saya's reaction turns around as well
(...my mask hides my eyes...right?)
"Awww they all look so cute like that" Shizuka giggled silently
(all...Cute?...huh...what?)
Seconds later it hit me
(Right Saeko is sleeping on my shoulder...and Rei is cuddled up to Takashi)
I could see Saya
Puffing her cheeks?
(Well...Rei is all over Takashi right now...sooo...)
"When he wakes up...give the idiot his sleeping bag back, you guys told me it was his..." She says as she gets out of the said sleeping bag, carefully placing Alice on the seat before moving towards the hatch that was in front of me
And as she opens the hatch and lifts her self up
(Wait...that sleeping bag was m...)
And she throws a kick...aimed towards my shin
(The..hell?...well that didn't hurt because i have the leg guards but still...the...hell? did she just kick me?)
I hear Shizuka giggling before she turned around
I stayed like this for some time processing the information, only to notice Kohta as he started moving about
A couple of minutes later he opened his eyes
He groans as he looks around, his eyes stopping on me and then on Takashi
And then he just stops there and starts staring between me and Takashi
He sighs as his shoulders drop
"uhh...Why can't i have a girl cuddling up to me?..." He whispers to himself
(Actually bro..only Takashi is getting the cuddling treatment...mine was an accident)
He was about to get up when Saya came down from the roof
"Ohh good morning Takagi" He says silently his face instantly lighting up
"Morning" Saya replies same grumpy voice as always
She picks up the binoculars that were lying around and then lifts her upper torso over the hatch, leaving her lower body...in front of me
..And another problem appeared...
(The others think that i'm asleep...right?...Because right now Saya has her butt half a meter away from my face...
...gahh it is going to be hard to stand still if i'm going to keep looking at that kind of view)
I close my eyes to avoid any...accidents from appearing
"He...has still not woken up?" Kohta asks
"Nope...you know,Takagi asked the same thing too" Shizuka whispers with a giggle
Kohta turns to Shizuka as i open my eyes again
"R...really?" He asks his shoulders drop again
(God damn it you airhead, that is not something you should say to Kohta, even if it meant nothing)
Shizuka was about to speak again when something caught her attention making her turn her head to the right
"Ohh...good morning little one, slept well?" She asked with a smile
Alice pokes her head out of the front seat still covered with the sleeping bag, looking like a mini Eskimo
"Good morning..umm..I am Kohta" Kohta whispers as he moves to the side so he can see Alice from behind the seat
"Alice" Alice replies
"I am Shizuka Alice, nice to meet you" Shizuka says shortly after
Kohta narrows his eyes for a bit seemingly in though
"Hey Alice, want to go to the roof? we can sing a song up there and we won't wake up anybody " Kohta whispers
Alice smiles and nods a couple of times
I could see Kohta was also smiling now as he picked up the little one and climbed the hatch, causing Saya to groan as she also had to climb up in order to allow them to pass
(Alice...will be a big morale boost for the team huh..)
My view did not stay butt free for too long though as Saya climbed back to her old posture shortly after
And a couple of minutes later the Humvee made a slight descend as it finally reached the river
And then started hearing a faint voice...singing
(This is where the anime normally starts?)
As we passed the shallow river i could hear Alice singing, only to be joined up by Kohta
Who was then shouted at by Saya...
"Hey guys...wake up we will be over the river soon" I hear Shizuka speak up, this time with a voice loud enough to actually wake 'us' up
Just like in the anime Rei wakes up first
she shuffles around fondling her head against Takashis arm before opening her eyes looking at him with sleepy half-closed eyes, her face slowly turning into a closed mouth grin
(Jeez...get a room)
I think as i close my eyes again
A couple of seconds later i hear Takashi groan
'Ughh...morning everybody" I hear Takashi say as i felt moment next to me
After that, i heard Rei giggling
"Hey Takashi...look at these two" I hear her say
I open my eyes and look at Rei and Takashi
While Rei was giggling
Takashi was staring at me, a slight frown appearing on his face
(ohh no, you didn't just do what i think you just did...
Anyway...now...either i can 'wake' up...or wait for Saeko to wake up first, to avoid the awkwardness..
For as much as i know, she could actually not want to wake up like this...
And...here i go again..shooting my self in the foot)
"Wow..Busujima you're really bold" i hear Rei say with a giggling grin
(She really needs to be like that even if it's not about Takashi?)
Finally, Saeko reacts and moves her head a bit before opening her eyes
And then she turns her head towards me
And then she starts staring
(...i...am...not...sweating...
Let's play a game me, let's call it, don't freak out and stay still
Completely...fucking...still)
Saeko finally 'wakes up' causing her eyes to go wide
She quickly lifts her head from my shoulder and looks around
(Actually...she didn't drool...probably the way she ended on my shoulder closed her mouth?)
"Good morning Saeko" Takashi speaks up shortly after
"Good morning Komuro" Saeko replies as she rubs her eyes
(Saeko huh...so she did tell him to call her by her first name in the house)
She then turns to look at me
"...Naier...is still asleep?" She asks
"Yea...he just missed quite the wake-up call don't you think" Rei says while staring at Saeko...actually i think her eyebrow was twitching now
"Cut it out Rei, it is not funny" Takashi says right after causing Rei to frown as she turns her head to him
"So...Should we let him sleep some more?" Takashi asks
"Well...i don't see a problem with it...i mean...he is sleeping right?" Rei speaks right after
"what do you mean?" Takashi asks as he turns his head towards Rei
"Well...he has been asleep...ever since he got back after falling from that wall...i mean..you know" She says as she looks at me
"He didn't get bit...did he?" She finishes
"If he was bitten..he would already be...up" Takashi says he as stares at me
Saeko then brings her face closer to mine
I could see her eyes looking towards my chest
"He is breathing...he is not head Rei" She says as she grabs my shoulder and shakes me
(Ok time to wake up before they end up putting a bullet in my head for good measure)
"Ughh..No shaking" I say with a groan
"Naier...are you ok?" Saeko was the first one to speak
"Hmm? yea..i can hear just fine now...my head feels like it got hit by a truck though" I say as i move my neck, bones cracking in the process
(And my neck is sore after staying like this for so long...but they don't need to know that i heard every single thing)
"You had us really worried there for a second" I hear Takashi say
"Hmm...well...the whole thing was my fault to begin with so...it had to be me"I say as i turn my head to Takashi who had one eyebrow raised
"Huh...what do you mean?" he asks
"I told Kohta to use that flashbang, i didn't take in account that you could not protect your self..as i said, my bad call, sorry about that" I say as Takashi is looking at me like an idiot
"Uhh...well.." As Takashi was trying to find something to say
"And you took the hit instead of Takashi to correct your mistake...i think that is good enough for an apology..even if it was...not a very smart idea" I turn my head to see Saeko speaking
"Stick around. I'm full of bad ideas" i say with a chuckle
(Where have i heard that line before...hmm it seemed...relevant to my situation...zombies? aliens...zombie aliens? hmm...oh well)
"You should be more careful Naier...you could end up hurting your self like this" Shizuka says as she turns around
(Well she is putting it mildly...)
And with that, the Humvee reached the end of the river, climbed a slope and along with a little air time it then landed safely on the ground
Once the car stopped
"Well..think its time we get out...i for one need some fresh air..." I say as i look at the door behind Saeko
Saeko nods and opens the door before stepping out her self
I stretch in the car before heading out
(For a humvee...It is awfully spacious...
I have been in a military humvee in my..uhh old life?
And let me tell you these things are a lot of things
Spacious..they ain't
It is weird... but this one..has quite the open space inside)
With that thought in mind, i move outside
And the moment i got out
"Naier!"
I turn to the voice to see Kohta
"Hey there bud" I say as i wave at him
"Uhh..hey..i'm" Before Kohta can finish
"That nade was my bad call, don't blame your self for it" I cut Kohta off
Kohta along with Alice was now just staring silently now
"Yea the idiot is right it WAS his fault" Saya says as she turns her frowning face to me
"Good to see you too Takagi" I say before turning my head back to Kohta
(God this girl is always grumpy)
"I do agree with Takagi here though, that was my fault, so don't put the blame on your self, i told you to use the flashbang, i almost killed my self, because of my decision, not yours" I say again as i look at Kohta
After a couple of seconds, Kohta finally lets up and smiles with a sigh
"Well..it's good to see you are not dead" He says with a smile
I nod and then turn Alice
"I guess...you still find me scary huh?..." I say as i tilt my head
Alice nods
The moment Saya saw Alice nodding she snaps her face to me
"HEY Idiot, what did you do you her!" Saya shouts
"Nothing!...she just thinks my mask is scary" I say as i put my hands up
"Then take it off, you have been wearing that damn thing ever since you found it" She says with a huff
"...Nope...not gonna happen, the mask stays...or you want to see my face that badly..." I finish my sentence with a chuckle
And sure enough, Saya's face turns red and as she was about to start..screaming?...shouting?...screamshouting?
"Well..it's good to see your three are fine...now you better get dressed...no?" i say as i turn around and start walking a bit further away from the car
Ignoring whatever was about to happen
And so a couple of minutes later the girls gathered behind the car
While the rest aka Takashi and Kohta stayed in the front
I, on the other hand, was by the slope
(You know...it is funny...how when i was alone while the others slept..all that crap that crawled up in my head almost choked me..
And now i feel like everything is going to be just fine...
That..or i'm keeping my brain busy )
With that thought i slowly move back to the guys
"Take one for the Team Takashi!" Kohta says with a grin
(And some things just won't change huh)
"Trying to get Takashi blacklisted now Kohta...uncool bro"
I say with a chuckle as i move closer
"What no i was just..ehh" Kohta laughs a bit before he turns to me
"So...how are you? that flashbang while in a wide area was still pretty close to you" Kohta asks with a serious expression
"I'm fine, only a mild headache...that i suspect is from the fall i took and not from the flashbang in self" i say as i massage my right temple with one hand
"Still man...that was pretty amazing" Kohta exclaims
I tilt my head
"Taking the hit for Takashi and Alice and then going all 'Blind and Deaf i am still going to kick your asses!'
Bang bang, bang" he finishes his sentence by trying to imitate some sort of badass Rambo?
"Wait...i actually said that?" I ask
"Said?...Man, you screamed it" Kohta says as he starts laughing
"Well...damn, there goes my silent persona..." i say with a shrug
We continued chatting aimlessly for some minutes
Until Takashi got bored of sitting still and started walking away
Kohta and i followed behind
"So the little one is named Alice huh" I say looking at Kohta
"Yep Alice Maresato" Kohta says right after
And speaking of the devil we hear her calling out to...somebody she considers her big brother?
Either Takashi or Kohta that is, she is scared of me after all
Turning to the sound we see the girls in the new School uniform mishmash get up
The outfits they wore were exactly the same as in the anime, the difference being that Saeko once again wore the guards i gave her in the sports store
And a couple of staring moment later Rei speaks up
But i could not really focus on what she was saying, as Saeko had already walked up in front of me
"Thank you for the jacket Naier" Saeko extends her arm my jacket neatly folded
"Glad i could help...you didn't have to fold it though, i am wearing now anyway"I say as i take the jacket and wear it on the spot leaving it unzipped as i pull the hood up
With nothing more to say we just kind of stared at each other...Until i heard Saya 'ordering' the men to check the top of the slope
"Ohh..i think that includes me" I say did i slight bow and turned my back to her
(uhh...Why did just i bow?)
With that i walk up to the guys
"You all ready?" i ask
They both respond with a nod
And then we slowly started to accent the slope
(Well i know its clear but...ughh... let's play along)
After slowly going up the slope and checking it, Takashi motions to the girls that the location is clear
While he was doing that i walked up to Kohta
"You might wanna leave the place you are standing on right now" I say
"Huh? why" He asks
"I don't think the humvee will steer while driving up here..and you are right in its path" I as i point towards the car
Kohta looks at the car for a few seconds before nodding, moving away from it with me
After the car climbed up the girls followed
Saya then checked the location with the binoculars
"Wonder where all the corpses went" I say
(Well they went to the refugee camp, aka Saya's house)
"No idea..but this place was also attacked"
Saya says as she looks through her binoculars
"But...there should be some cops left...right" Rei speaks up as she looks at Saya with a worried expression
Saya frowns for a bit before
"Yes...Japanese officers are all about their work after all" She says with a smile
(Well..would you look at that...she is being considerate of others)
I think as i keep looking around
Rei smiles and reacts with a nod, trying to make her self believe what she just heard
"So...now what?" I ask
Takashi speaks up
"Takagi, aren't you from Hishiosaka 2 chome" he asks
"Yeah" She replies as she turns to Takashi
"So that's where we are heading next" Takashi adds right after that
(Again going exactly like in the anime...i don't think i will ever get used at hearing these line from them...still, i should find a way to avoid the car crash, and Rei getting the learn to fly treatment)
"Hey Naier come on we are leaving" I turn to the sound to see Kohta waving him arm from inside the car
I nod and run to the car, climbing inside
And then, we went off
Rei and Takashi were up on the car's roof, pretty much same deal as in the anime
Saya on the front passenger seat
Alice on the back seat with me on the seat next to her
And Kohta sitting in the trunk
(Why in the actual fig he is sitting in there when there are empty seats?...oh well whatever floats your boat
More importantly)
I move to the central backseat and lean forward so i can be near the two front seats
Saya turns to me and moves her upper torso slightly away from me
"What...do you want?" She asks with a frown
"I don't see any corpses...i don't like it" I say
"Huh...why? isn't it a good thing that there aren't any corpses around?" Shizuka asks
"No..because they did not disappear, they gathered somewhere
Somewhere with, a lot of constant sound" I say as i keep looking outside
Shizuka opens her mouth but i cut her off
"Just be on alert, in case we have to react fast"
And just i finish my sentence
"It's them!" Kohta shouts while he was looking through the binoculars
Before anybody could speak
"slow the car down!" I shout
"What why?...And don't shout in my ear you idiot!" Saya shouts back at me
"You want Takashi and Rei to be up there while we're rally drifting corpse infested streets?" I ask as i turn my head to her pointing to the roof with my finger
Saya just stares at me with the same old frown before she looked away with a huff
"...Slow down the car" She says a couple of seconds later
And so Shizuka slows the car down to a stop
I then open the hatch
"OI love birds, get back inside lest you fly off" I say before going back inside
With Rei and Takashi following behind me shortly after
"Alright, we are all set, let's go" I say as i lean close to the front seats again
And then Shizuka started driving, following Sayas instructions on where to turn
"What the...we keep seeing more and more of them as we get closer to Hishiosaka" Takashi speaks up
Causing Sayas face to turn grim
"So there is a good chance there are survivors there" Saya's head then darts to me the moment i finish my sentence
"Think about it loud noise could draw some corpses, but there were no corpses for miles, meaning there should be a constant noise generated to draw them all there, and a constant noise means a higher chance of working survivors" Finishing my sentence i stare at Saya
She just nods...
But i could see an ever slight smile as she turned her face to the window
(No matter how bad her relationship with her parents might seem in the anime...i know she loves them...she would not call out for them during her breakdown otherwise)
While i was speaking i noticed the humvee was increasing speed
I could also see brick-paved walls from the side windows
(Brick paved...walls?
We're here, now the wires
I got Rei back in the car meaning she won't be able to see the wires...)
I get up and open the hatch
"What are you going Naier?" i turn to see Saeko looking at me
"I need a better view " I say as i pull my upper torso over the hatch of the car
(Ok...what am i looking for...
A sudden stop to the corpses would meaning wires)
I think as i keep looking towards the end of the street
but i could see no end
And we kept picking up speed, a couple of seconds later we started colliding with corpses, the Humvee sending the ones unlucky enough to be in our path flying left and right
(Ughh i can't see it...)
I lower my self until my head is back in the car
"Can we drive slower? we do not know what is up ahead" I say looking at Shizuka
"If we slow down we won't have enough force to carve a path through all of them"
Saya speaks up after me
(Ughh...got damn it)
I go back up
(Keep focused..it won't be hard to see it as i know what i'm looking for)
And then
i saw it, a sudden stop in the corpses ahead of us
(There!)
I climb back inside and shout
"There is a sudden stop in the corpses up ahead, something is blocking their way, slow down!"
And finally
"It's a wire fence!" Saeko shouts
Shizuka hits the brakes and the car starts screeching as it tries to come to a stop slowly drifting sideways as it kept going towards the fence
(Shit shit shit)
I know i was faster than Rei in spotting the fence...but still, i could feel my heart beating down my ears
(Come on...STOP DAMN IT)
And the Humvee goes up against the Fence wall, pushing it...slightly
As it finally stops
(Ughh too close for comfort...but now we have a new problem
Corpses
A LOT of them)
"Kohta where are the shotgun shells" I 'ask' as i turn to Kohta
"In your backpack, as you are the only one with a shotgun i left all the shells there" he says as he grips his gun, staring at the oncoming horde from the side window
"Good" I nod as i quickly move to the back and grab my bag
While i was getting my stuff Kohta went up the hatch and started shooting on the corpses that were near the car
I opened my bag and grabbed the first carton with shotgun shells i saw, loading the first six shells into the gun
Then i took two more cartons and prepared to leave
Until my eyes stopped on the flashbang belt
(This time, no fuck ups)
I think as i grab the belt and strap it on me
I walk out of the door that was on my right, three cartons of shotgun shells in hand
(...I could use the flashbang now...but what if the corpses that will arrive later will just waltz into us...no
I need a whole horde to be here in order to use it, to make a wall that walks in the opposite direction from us after using it)
With that in mind, i walk towards the horde before kneeling down leaving the first carton several meters away from the corpses
I then run to the left
And leave the second carton
Lastly, i sprint to the opposite direction to the right and leave the final carton on the floor
All the while Kohta was blasting heads off and Saeko had gone in close combat along with Takashi and Rei
Saya Alice and Shizuka were left inside the car
I get up and look down the scope
The sound of Kohta's gun echoing as i looked at the oncoming horde
(Too many to run over with the car...and more are coming...we just have to hold on until Saya's mother arrives...
So...now
we kill)
I pull the trigger
"BANG" two corpses fly back falling down motionless
(Two down, an unlimited number to go)
I turn my shotgun slightly to the right
Pump
'BANG' three corpses down
Blood splattering on the brick-paved walls to my right as the corpses behind my targets get knocked down by the flying bodies
Pump
(4)
I aim straight and take a step forward
'BANG' two corpses down
Pump
(3)
I take a step back and aim slightly to the right
'BANG' Three corpses down
Blood painting the street in front of me red as more corpses fall on their back motionless
Pump
(2)
I look to my right
Saeko was in the middle holding off the corpses, with support fire from Kohta
I look back ahead of me
'BANG' three corpses down
Pump
I look to my left again
On the far left Takashi and Rei had taken position holding off the oncoming corpses
(1)
'BANG'
I kneel down and start reloading the shotgun from the shells in the carton that i left on the street
With each new shell i put in i looked back at the oncoming corpses
After i reloaded i pumped a new round in the chamber before loading in the last shell
I get up and turn my back to the horde then kick the carton with the inside of my foot
Causing it to slide a couple of meters away
I then turn and look straight back to the horde
(They keep increasing...)
I look to my left
(Kohta is reloading? can't hear him shoot..we will get overrun like that, and i will get surrounded)
I sidestep to my left before leaving the gun to fall to my sides as i run towards the center
"Saeko! switch! i'm taking the center!"
As i run i saw Saeko doing several hops back before turning her head to me
She then started running towards me
And when she got close
"Be careful Naier" She says as she slows down looking at me for a second before she starts running again moving away from me
"You be careful, i got a fucking shotgun with a crapton of ammo" I say under my breath as i keep running towards the center while Saeko sprinted to where i was
After i reached the ammo carton i left in the center i turn to the horde
They were near, a meter distance kind of near
Just as i aim down the scope i see a corpse getting blown back, blood creating a fountain from the back of its head
"Kohta support Saeko on the right! I got this spot covered"
And the moment i finish shouting
'BANG' four corpses down
Pump
(As long i got ammo, you fuckers ain't taking a step towards the car)
(5)
'BANG' three corpses down
Pump
(4)
'BANG' two corpses down
Pump
I stop aiming and just point my shotgun towards the mass and pull the trigger
(3)
'BANG' three corpses down
Pump
With each shot the wall was being pushed back, slowing down
Each corpse i sent flying back falling on other corpses, causing all of them to hit the ground, making the ones behind them to either trip an fall or to slow down to a crawl as they stumbled on the fallen corpses
(1)
'BANG'
(There is no fucking end to them)
I look around me to see the ammo carton to my right some meters away from me
(When did i walk away?)
"Reloading!"
I shout as i run to the carton stopping with a slide as i grab it
I open the box and Start loading new shells into the gun, keeping an eye on the horde after each new shell
After i was done i kick the carton back towards the car the same way i did with the last one
And look towards Saeko
(She is holding up fine)
Then i turn my head to the left
From where i was standing corpses had already walked past the defense line...if we took the ammo cartons i left on the ground as a defense line that is
"Takashi, Rei get over here! I am taking your spot!" I shout as i get up
Looking at the left side i could see even more corpses than before
Actually scratch that...i could see more corpses coming from all sides
(Come on...just a little longer)
As I run towards the left Rei and Takashi run past me
I keep running straight towards the horde that had shambled past the 'defense line' i had put down
And stop dead in my tracks a couple of meters away from the horde, then aim down the sight
Right now i had corpses on my right side, them being the main horde
Ahead of me was the left part of the horde that had walked past me
My left side led to the fence and it was still clear of corpses
'BANG'
I fire a shot aimed at chest height towards the main horde to my right
The shot causing several corpses to be blown back
And in the process causing other corpses to either fall on each other or sidestep away from the direction they were going
I pump a new round and turn back towards the group ahead of me
(5)
I start walking straight
(the blast from my last shot caused the corpses on the right side to fall back some meters so i didn't have to worry about getting surrounded for some seconds)
And aim at the corpses ahead of me
Then shoot again at chest height
'BANG'
Another group of corpses gets blasted back
(4)
I think as i pump a new round in the gun
The carton was now almost a meter away from me
I aim the shotgun straight once more and pull the trigger
'BANG'
(3)
I pump a new round
"BANG"
I take another chest shot on the corpses ahead of me
And pump a new round in the chamber
(2)
I leave the gun to my sides and run to the carton
with all the knocked down corpses the carton was under a pair of feet right now
Thankfully...feet don't bite
I kick the feet away and kneel down grabbing the carton
I then hug the shotgun and do a roll to the left
Once i felt the ground on my feet i stand up straight and turn to my right pointing the shotgun with one hand, the carton held with the other
(This will be one inaccurate shot...not that it matters, there is a fucking wall of corpses here)
'BANG'
The recoil causing my arm to bend, the shotgun almost hitting my chest as corpses got sent flying back
I didn't even need to aim
I just...shot towards the horde and all the bullets found a mark
In other words
(Too many...perfect)
Carton still in hand i run to the car
"Kohta cease fire, cease fire!" I shout as i open the car's door and throw the ammo inside
"WHAT? ARE YOU CRAZY?!" Kohta shouts back at me, i could see a hard glare on his eyes
I pull the flashbang out of belt's pocket
"Yea i fucking am" I say as i climb up the car
Kohta looks at the flashbang and nods going back inside the car as he turns the safety on the gun
"Everybody, back in the car...NOW!" i Shout
I saw Rei and Takashi looking at me for a split second before they turned their heads back towards the horde
Saeko was probably too aroused to even hear me...
(OH for fuck's sake)
"GET BACK TO THE FUCKING CAR, I AM NOT TAKING ANOTHER FLASHBANG FOR YOUR SORRY ASSES" I scream again as i raise my hand waving the flashbang in the air
This time the three reacted and started running back towards the car
And the moment the last person reached the car
"Eyes shut, ears closed" i say in a calm voice and pull the pin
"And you shitheads...can go...DEAF!" I shout as i toss the flashbang
I quickly duck and cover my ears while i turn my upper body towards the fence, my eyes closed
And then...a dull sound echoes in my head for a couple of seconds
I open my eyes and look back
(If this didn't work, we are screwed...in more ways than one)
I stare at the corpses...as they were slowly turning around and beginning to walk in the opposite direction
I then climb back inside the car shit-eating grin on my face and all
And the moment i sit down
"I can't believe this actually worked!" Kohta says with a loud voice still looking at the horde as it shambled away
"Please...my ideas might occasionally be made out of stupid, but it is the working type of stupid" i say with a shrug
"Occasionally?" Saya says as she turns towards me with one eyebrow raised...
I turn my head to Saya
"We're still alive ain't we?...and this time around nobody went blind...or deaf..." Just as i finish my sentence
"But what do we do now?" Saeko says shortly after
"We wait for them to leave and then drive away?" Shizuka adds up
"The fence...maybe there are survivors on the other side" Saya says as she stares at the other side of the fence
(We should have Saya's mother to the rescue...soon...or not...we are safe enough to wait so it doesn't really matter)
"I think we should wait for now...shut down the car engine so it won't attract any more corpses on us..and after the coast is clear...we will see what we will do" I say as i look past the fence
And like that, a couple of minutes pass
Until finally...a sound
A knock on the window, from the side of the fence
The whole group jumped to the sound, only to see a person in a firefighter suit waving at us
(We made it)
I grin to my self under the mask
The group starts smiling, the smiling then turns to cheering as they opened the hatch and climbed outside
The people in the suits then helped us to get on the other side
And once we were all over the fence Shizuka walks up to the one that was giving the orders
"Thank you for saving us" She says as she takes a deep bow
The person whom Shizuka was speaking too proceeded to remove the helmet of the suit
To reveal Saya's mother
"It is only natural to help my daughter and her friends" she says
(i wonder...should i ask Saeko to train with me tomorrow?...
I will also need to make sure Kohta won't get bullied with the gun business and all
As for Saya...well she will be extra grumpy now soo...yea good luck with that me
Rei and Takashi will probably...do stuff with each other...yea...)
"That being said...who is...Naier Sepfier?" Yuriko aka, Saya's mother asks as she looks at the group, her sight stopping on me
(..Hmm...she knows my name...
wait...
She knows my name?...
...why the hell does she know my name?)
I raise my hand
I didn't even manage to speak before i found my self surrounded
(...Does this have something to do anything with my depts?...i mean
Saya's family...is filthy rich...won't be surprised if she owned a bank...)
Yuriko walks up to me
And seconds later...i was staring down the barrel of her luger pistol...
(Ok...This...can't be a good sign)
"You are the one who put everybody in needless danger then" She says as her eyes turn into a glare
I raise my other hand
(I did...what?)
I could hear the rest of the group talking?
Shouting?
I couldn't really tell
I was too focused on the gun aimed at my head
(What...the...fuck...?)
