Chapter 42 - Worrying News

Back at the hotel we didn't find any Zombies and used to made me suspicious but I let it go as it didn't matter now.

During the trip Kogoro drank his new wine continuously without stopping while Ayumi was better compared to a few hours ago when she killed her first Zombie, while Mitsuhiko got carried away by his book that he had obtained.

Genta kept his flesh as if it were his most precious treasure, while I tried to lure Zombies with my new ability, but it didn't work either when I expanded the action range to 10km.

Back at the hotel we only stopped a few times to get other supplies of water and food that can last for a few months like rice noodles and canned food like Instant Ramen or canned tuna, we stocked up so all our backpacks they were full and i have themalso put some in my inventory.

In addition to this we have not seen a single person around, I would understand if they were all dead but it was only the first day since the second phase began, we also tried to search in houses but almost all of them were abandoned, perhaps the citizens followed the TV indications thathe told them to go to Shikoku, but in my opinion it was better to stay here for safety.

It's not that I don't want to find a safe base for my friends, it's just that if we all start going to Shikoku then there will be a lot of people there who could get bitten along the way and thus make the Shikoku base compromised.

I would wait at least a month before going to Shikoku, but if we wait that long we don't know what could happen at the base and because of this I'm Unsure but I don't think we should go that far, so for now I'll stay here in this quote and then see what Do.

While I was thinking about my thoughts, someone interrupted me.

Ayumi Yoshida "Reo how old are you?" she asked shyly as she glanced at me in passing

Kamisora ​​Reo " try to do 10×100 then minus 995 and when you get the result tell me and I'll tell you if your answer is correct " I said while I made him do a math problem

Ayumi Yoshida "why are you making me do math problems when I only asked your age?" she said puffing out her cheeks

Kamisora ​​Reo "I was thinking, isn't it more fun if you solve a problem to figure out what my age?" I said as I walked

Ayumi Yoshida " if you say it Reo but it's ok, just wait for me to solve it " she said as she started to operate and use her fingers to help her

Mitsuhiko Tsubaraya "Ayumi if you want I can help you" he said but Ayumi was focused on solving the problem I gave him

Kamisora ​​Reo "if you want to try you can but you are not allowed to use your book Mitsuhiko" I said as Mitsuhiko put away her book

Kogoro Mouri "If you want I'll help you solve the problem," he said

Kamisora ​​Reo "No Kogoro, let them sort it out or the fun will go away," I said

Kogoro Mouri "it's fine" he said as he walked crooked because he was drunk to the point of stinking

Kamisora ​​Reo "Kogoro try to drink less or you'll fall down," I said

Kogoro Mouri "ok, ok Hic" he said as he put away his wine

Kamisora ​​Reo "however we are almost there so if you don't solve the problem by the finish then you have lost" I said

Ayumi Yoshida " 10×100 = 900 or 1000, 900 minus 995 no so 1000 minus 995 = 5.... yes!! It's 5 Reo!" she said excited for being able to answer my math question

Kamisora ​​Reo "good you guessed it, and 5 so I'm five years old" I said smiling for her

Mitsuhiko Tsubaraya "Congratulations Ayumi!" he said happily for Ayumi

Genta Kojima "well done Ayumi, I was sure you could do it" he said laughing

Kamisora ​​Reo "Ayumi, do you want to ask me some more questions?" I asked

Ayumi Yoshida "no thanks Reo, I had fun anyway" she said smiling

Kamisora ​​Reo "It makes me happy to make someone I know happy," I said

After talking we resumed our march, after traveling a few km we arrived at the hotel, there were no Zombies there and the barricades I had set up had been removed.

So we went inside the building and we didn't see anyone there so I thought they had all gone away, we went up the stairs and got to the floor where we were staying but we still hadn't seen a soul.

Kamisora ​​Reo "I would understand they were gone but I don't think everyone is leaving" I said suspicious of what was going on

Kogoro Mouri "Now that you tell me, you're right, it's really strange that there isn't anyone there" he said with a straight face

Kamisora ​​Reo " all right now let's not think about it, we must first wait for the others and then organize ourselves " I said as I took out the key thus opening the door

So we went inside and found Hanako who had just woken up.

Kamisora ​​Reo "Hanako how are you, did you rest well?" I asked as I approached Hanako

Hanako "I'm fine, I slept well" she said as she yawned

Kamisora ​​Reo "Are you hungry?" I said

Hanako "no thanks, but where are they?" she asked looking around

Kamisora ​​Reo "You are safe, this is our temporary base, so don't worry about being in danger" I said

Hanako "I see, then I'm really safe now," she said as a few tears fell down her cheeks

Kamisora ​​Reo "don't cry ho you won't be able to stop the tears for a while" I said as I took a handkerchief to stop her tears

Hanako "thanks for the handkerchief Reo" she said as she calmed down and stopped crying

Ayumi Yoshida "Hi, I'm Ayumi Yoshida, and I'm Reo's friend" he said as he stepped between me and Hanako

Hanako "Hi I'm Hanako, what am I?" she couldn't finish her answer as she looked at me to understand what we were

Kamisora ​​Reo "uhm let me think... ok we can consider that we are friends now, so I would like to have one more friend" I said happily

Hanako "ok now we are friends" she said as she looked at Ayumi

Ayumi Yoshida "You!" she said as she looked at Hanako and didn't know what to say

Kamisora ​​Reo "I don't understand what you are saying but I hope you get along" I said as I put down my backpack and took out the provided ones as I also put them away

Mitsuhiko Tsubaraya "Hello Hanako my name is Mitsuhiko Tsubaraya" He said

Genta Kojima "while I am Genta Kojima" he said raising his hand

Hanako "Hi Mitsuhiko and Genta," she said briefly

Kamisora ​​Reo "ok let's have breakfast now" I said while getting some food like donuts or Cereal

So everyone took off their backpacks and then went to wash their hands like me, then we had breakfast while listening to the news on TV.

TV " Latest news of the hour, they tell us that Shikoku is invaded by a horde of people including a horde of Zombies and was attracted by the much noise that there is in moving towards Shikoku, for this we ask you to stay in your cities or the military will act. Another news is that in every city there is a constant increase of Zombies, Shikoku was almost compromised but for now it has resisted thanks to heavy weapons to kill a coming horde. Tips for residents who can't move, we suggest you go outside and get some food or they will expire and you won't be able to eat them anymore, if you can go out then go in groups. Although the rumor said that the second phase was starting, when did it start and it happened too quickly and for this reason the police force cannot do much, but rest assured because the situation will be positive in a week, so hold on and wait for help. And now the weather, ogg- " when we heard the TV saying those things I was shocked because it had only been a day and already Shikoku was in danger of being invaded by Zombies

Ayumi Yoshida "san-what do you think will happen Reo?" he asked worried

Kamisora ​​Reo "I don't know but rest assured that if trouble comes I'll be there to protect the group, even if you are also strong so I too can count on you" I said with a confident smile

Ayumi Yoshida " Reo " said moved

Mitsuhiko Tsubaraya "True Reo, you can count on us," he said

Genta Kojima "as Mitsuhiko said you can count on my strength Reo" he said as he struck a pose

Mitsuhiko Tsubaraya "while you can ask me for information" she said, beating my chest

Ayumi Yoshida "I can heal your wounds" she said happily

Hanako "II I can't do anything" she said while showing a downcast expression

Kamisori Reo "don't worry Hanako, you'll find something you can do" I said as I patted his back to comfort her

Hanako "I hope so Reo" she said with more confidence

Kogoro Mouri "I hope Ran is okay anyway," he said worried

Kamisori Reo " don't worry Kogoro, on the other hand your daughter and Conan have obtained enough strength to kill at least 50 Zombies by themselves without effort " I said confident

Kogoro Mouri "I hope so but I can't help it, after all she's my only daughter" he said while munching on something

Now that we had eaten breakfast and heard the news on the TV, we were all free to wait for the others to arrive.
