"Take him away. Remember, don't let him die."
Kurumi turned around and walked towards the school bus. Just as everyone began to relax, Kurumi paused again.
"Also, don't let him appear in front of me. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that he won't do something out of line. You guys should take care of yourselves."
"Tata -" The sound of the round-headed boot hitting the ground slowly faded away, and everyone looked at the yellow-haired boy, waiting for him to make a decision... What should they do?
Buzz... The sound of the school bus engine running rang out, and the tire scraped against the ground hard. The sky became darker and darker, and the yellow-haired boy and the others could only see the shrinking red taillights.
"Tsk! Let's go, at least find a house with few zombies, and rest for a night before making plans!" The yellow-haired boy gritted his teeth, picked up the unconscious Koichi Shido, and let two other boys find the broken limbs left to find a place where the zombies were roaring less.
They had just walked a few hundred meters when they saw a bus crazily crashing towards them! The wide road was enough for them to dodge. Even if they fell to the ground, no one cared about the scratches left on their clothes.
After complaining in a low tone, they looked at the bus that was crazily surging forward. They could vaguely see the hellish scene inside. The Japanese were always outnumbered, especially at this time. During peak hours, not to mention the subway, even buses could not fit a single more person!
Therefore, there would never be a shortage of buses and trains, but in the era of disaster, it caused an irreparable tragedy... If even one person in the bus became a zombie...
The chain reaction caused by the subsequent crashes left the yellow-haired boy thinking until he became terrified. The population density in the bus was several times more than that of the school. If it disturbed the driver, this situation would probably repeat itself.
Although the new type of bus did not use mixed power, it was definitely much more dangerous than the old bus from their campus, especially when it started to charge forward. Unfortunately, the driver inside had already become a zombie. He did not have time to stop and run away before he was bitten.
"Bang! - Chi -- bang - bang!"
The series of sounds made the yellow-haired and the others frightened. The bus had flown at high speed and collided with a small car parked in the middle of the road. The enormous kinetic energy caused the car's tail to fly up and roll across the ground. The friction caused sparks to appear and the bus's speed to slow down.
Once they hit the tunnel, the bus spun and firmly blocked it. The engine could not withstand such a violent impact and ignited. The flames quickly spread to the fuel tank... A series of flames rose one after another. Even the hissing of the zombies inside became much weaker.
Zombies continued to climb out of the car window as the yellow-haired boy, and the others ran away. Flames covered their bodies, but they were still alive after being burned to such a state. It almost made their worldview collapse. Although it had already collapsed once in the afternoon, they definitely did not want to experience it again!
They thought that their ability to resist pressure had improved a lot, but when they saw this scene... whoever did not run was a liar!
The yellow-haired boy panted. He carried the unconscious Koichi Shido and ran a few hundred meters until he could no longer hear the monsters' roars. Only then did he slow down and look back. The monsters wrapped in flames had fallen to the ground at some point in time.
Everyone was relieved. They identified their position and headed for the hospital. However, it was better to find a place nearby where people could live. If a zombie suddenly appeared in the middle of the night and bit them, who would they argue with? At that point, even their companions would attack them!
Ever since Kurumi came back on the school bus, everyone looked at her differently... Of course, it did not include Shizuka Marikawa, who was a natural airhead.
Takashi Komuro, Kohta Hirano, and Saya Takagi obviously did not dare to look at her, but there was a hint of excitement in Saeko Busujima and Rei Miyamoto's eyes.
The school bus was still moving forward, but Shizuka Marikawa, who was in the driver's seat, suddenly called out with some distress,
"There's no fuel left! Do we still need to drive to the city?"
"Hm? Can we hold on for a while longer?" Rei Miyamoto, who was sitting in front, asked Shizuka Marikawa.
"I should be able to..." Looking at the red bar on the dial, she really did not know how long this old car could last. It was not as easy to drive as her little beetle.
"I remember there is a gas station ahead. If we can get there smoothly, there should be no problem."
"Teacher Marikawa, listen to Miyamoto. It is obviously inappropriate to abandon transportation at this time." Kurumi looked at the dark sky and said.
"En!"
The roar of the school bus engine was particularly conspicuous in the quiet night sky. Everything that happened on the street could be seen clearly in the dim light.
The glass was smashed, and everything in the store was robbed. On the messy ground, there were bloodstains from time to time, but there was no one around, and even zombies were nowhere to be seen. The silence was a little scary.
"Either he died, or he ran away." Takashi Komuro's deep voice echoed in the car.
"Wouldn't they become zombies if they died?" Rei Miyamoto asked.
"Hehe, of course. The dead that became zombies chased after the living, so they ran away because they wanted to eat people." Hearing Kurumi's explanation, Rei Miyamoto fell silent.
Although Koichi Shido's experience had indeed relieved her hatred, how could she survive this disaster? Now, the most important thing to her was not becoming a man-eating monster for eternity. Just thinking about it made her feel cold from the bottom of her heart. She still had to find her parents...
"Eh? Wait! Look at the intersection on the other side." Rei Miyamoto, who was sitting by the window and looking out, actually saw a completely unharmed police car!
The front half of his body was exposed, and the police lights on it were still flashing. The people on the bus were pleasantly surprised. Meeting the police at this time could not be better. At least it would ensure their safety, right?
The school bus stopped. Takashi Komuro was still joking at the side. "I don't have a driver's license. I'm afraid I'm going to go to the police station for driving on the wrong side."
"You've already fought with zombies so many times. Why would I be afraid of a patrol car?"
"How could that be? Let's go down and take a look!" The happy tone in his voice made Kurumi remind him
Kurumi and Saeko Busujima were sitting in the bus, reading a book, so they did not get off the carriage.
"Aren't you going to take a look?" Saeko Busujima was a little curious.
"Do you think there will be living people?" Kurumi asked.
The two of them looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes. Even in the Cataclysm, finding a person who understood the other so well was not easy.
After seventeen years of life, Saeko Busujima finally met the person she hoped to meet. Although she was a girl, she would cherish her more.
As for Takashi Komuro and the others who got out of the car, they could not wait to come to go to the side of the road where the police car was but...
The back half of the police car was completely smashed. A large truck had crashed into it, and its huge body completely deformed it. The door on the other side of the driver's seat was open, but the patrol officer had already died, but he never came out again.
"Really?" Takashi Komuro was in disbelief. The people behind him all fell silent, and their high spirits were all washed away by this scene.
Seeing Rei Miyamoto walking towards the destroyed police car, Takashi Komuro reminded him with some worry, "Rei! The police car is still leaking oil. It's dangerous to go there right now!"
Rei Miyamoto frowned and looked at him mercilessly. "Takashi, you have to come over too! See if you can find anything you can use."
Takashi Komuro felt a little helpless. He had to go with Rei Miyamoto. He squatted down and searched the car through the broken car door. Saya Takagi, who had studied the zombies, observed the two long-dead patrolmen in front of the car.
Their pupils shrank, and their faces were pale. It was apparent that they were beginning to transform. But there was blood on his head. It seemed like his skull had been smashed by the impact, which led to his complete death.
As she observed carefully, she muttered to herself, which made her admirer Kohta Hirano feel a little numb.
