When Yao came out of the forest, the sky was already slightly pale.
Looking around the peaceful house, he hammered his waist on both sides, and walked towards the place where the car was parked.
After checking the food in the system space, gasoline... and confirming that it was correct, he stepped on the motorcycle.
"Yao, are you going to Chiba?"
Just as Yao was about to put on his helmet and set off, a team member who surprised him appeared at the garage door.
"Shiina?" Yao was slightly surprised, put down his helmet, "You got up so early?"
"Yeah." Shiina nodded, and walked quickly to his side, "Because Yao is going to Chiba ttoday so I want to see you off."
"I will be back soon."
Seeing her open her arms, Yao smiled and gave her a parting hug.
She didn't want to let go for a long time, gave a soft "hmm", and then trotted to the gate.
Staring at him leaving the manor on a motorcycle, Shiina looked at the empty road alone in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
After a long time, Sayuri did not know when she appeared by her side.
"Mashiro, go back and sleep for a while."
Soft and lazy words floating in the air with some doting.
"Hmm..."
The gate closed, and the manor returned to tranquility again.
…
Driving on some dilapidated roads, Yao couldn't help yawning, preparing to find a place to sleep well first.
There's no way, he's been 'working hard' all night, even if he's in good health now, he can't stand this kind of labor.
Driving the motorcycle, he couldn't help but think of his Mashiro who had a calm expression the whole time when she watched him leave.
To be honest, she has really changed a lot.
Unlike when she first joined the team, when even her clothes were needed to be changed by Sayuri or Eriri.
Thinking of this, Yao couldn't help but think of the paintings she gave him, with a faint smile on his face hidden behind the helmet.
The motorcycle stopped just as it approached the urban area, and Yao randomly found a house without an owner to park the motorcycle.
With eye bags, he entered the house through the window at the back of the courtyard, chose a bedroom at random, lay on the bed and began to rest.
Zzz...
When Yao woke up from a deep sleep, the sky outside was already orange.
It is estimated that in another half an hour, it will be night.
He didn't care, and after eating something casually, he set foot on the journey to Chiba again.
…
From dark night to early morning, Yao has been driving a motorcycle. Occasionally, when he encounters a wave of zombies, he can only choose to take a long detour. As a result, the drive that originally only took a few hours, abruptly prolonged.
There is no way, although ordinary zombies are weak in single combat, but when encountered in large numbers they can acuse a lot of trouble
However, he has now seen the edge of Chiba from a distance.
"So many survivors?"
Looking at the little fires on the land on both sides of the road in the distance, Yao frowned.
"Let's go and see."
He didn't think too much, and was going to inquire about the information first.
As for the motorcycle, he had already discarded it long ago.
It doesn't matter whether he can find it again or not, that's why he didn't choose to drive a car.
Walking slowly forward for about twenty minutes, countless pair of eyes kept looked along the way, but no one stepped forward to say hello.
Yao didn't care about these survivors whose faces were covered with numbness. After circling around, his eyes locked on two people close to a fire.
This is a team composed of a middle-aged man and a little girl.
Sensing that this young man from outside was approaching, the middle-aged man with a slightly wrinkled face frowned, and the palm on his right leg tensed up, approaching his waist intentionally or unintentionally.
He stared for a moment, and when he saw the holster on Yao's waist, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at his daughter who was holding on to his clothes, but he didn't move because he didn't know whether the other party was hostile, he decided to hold back his temper for the time being.
After all...the survivors around are also watching, and there's also that unspoken rule here.
"Don't be afraid, I just want to ask some questions."
Going near the fire and sitting down, seeing the little girl's fearful look, Yao smiled peacefully.
"Young man, I see that you seem to be from another city, it's better to leave as soon as possible."
"Chiba... This is indeed a safe zone, but there are also many unknown horrors."
Seeing that Yao was not like a rioter, the middle-aged man was relieved, and subconsciously gave a piece of advice.
"You can just answer me, and the reward will be indispensable."
Yao glanced at the survivors who were looking at the situation here. The circle here seems to have reached a certain agreement. He can smell the bloody smell in the air, but it is very weak, and the smell is more like zombiee.
"Brother... Can I get any reward?"
Before the middle-aged man could reply, the eyes of the little girl who was holding on to his clothes were already shinning like stars, and she looked like a little greedy cat.
"hehe."
Yao chuckled, grabbed a few pieces of chocolate from his pocket, and threw out a pack of cigarettes along the way.
"What do you want to ask?"
The middle-aged man's eyes were straight, and he didn't care about the chocolate that fell on the ground. Instead, he quickly put the cigarettes into his clothes.
You know, a pack of cigarettes is enough to exchange for two boxes of instant noodles in the survivor's trading area, or even a ordinary beautiful woman.
"The situation here, and about that fog."
Yao raised his left hand and pointed to the distant sky above Chiba, where the fog layer was extremely conspicuous under the reflection of the moonlight.
Hearing the 'fog', the middle-aged man's body paused, and after hesitating for a moment, he slowly began to tell everything he knew while stroking the head of his daughter who was eating the chocolate.
"This is one of the survivor circles outside the edge of Chiba. Here you can't kill each other, and there is no requirement to join. Just when the tide of zombies comes, you must repel them with all your strength. If you run away, you'd better not come again, otherwise you will die. Besieged by all survivors."
"Oh?" Yao raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by their unity.
But if you think about it carefully, these people should be lower middle-class people with no influence before the apocalypse broke out. If they don't unite now, I'm afraid they will be eaten up.
Whether it is facing zombies or other big forces there are countless dangers they may face.
The middle-aged man ignored his reaction, took out a pack of wrinkled cigarettes from his arms, took one out of it and bit it in his mouth.
After lighting it with a lighter, the middle-aged man took a deep breath and then spat it out.
"As for the fog..."
Cigarette smoke filled the air, and it seemed that he was recalling some bad experience, a ferocious killing intent appeared on his originally peaceful face.
And also deep fear!
