Faced with the twelve-year-old boy's threat, Ayame dared not move since she had a lot of experience with guns. At least, her brother was the best at wielding it and could kill her despite her proficiency in martial arts.
She was well aware that even an emo twelve-year-old boy could kill her with two pistols.
However, unlike Ayame's cautious approach, most of the students and teachers were unfazed by the threat of the twelve-year-old boy.
Most of them believed that the twelve-year-old boy was just lucky in killing those zombies. And even if the twelve-year-old boy was good with using those two pistols, they don't believe that a twelve-year-old boy would have the guts to kill humans like them.
After all, zombies didn't have sentience while humans did. Even they couldn't easily kill another human and it would take some mental preparation for them to do that, let alone a twelve-year-old boy.
Not only did they covet the car key obtained by the twelve-year-old boy, but they also wanted to steal his two pistols. Furthermore, the twelve-year-old boy was wearing a backpack which they believed to contain not only food but also ammo for those two pistols.
Their greed had clouded their mind and they didn't even think of the reason why a twelve-year-old boy got a hold of two pistols in the first place.
"Yo kid, let us big brothers protect you. You just need to hand over the car key and two pistols and we will protect you from those zombies."
A gangster-like high school student approached the twelve-year-old boy. But before he could reach the twelve-year-old boy, the twelve-year-old boy decisively pointed one of his pistols towards the gangster-like high school student and pulled the trigger!
The sound of a gunshot resounded in the school as the gangster-like high school student fell to the ground with a hole in his head.
Countless zombies were attracted by the gunshot and they started flooding inside the school through the opened school gate.
Witnessing the zombies flooding into the school, the students and teachers no longer cared about the car key or the death of the gangster-like high school student. Their survival instincts kicked in and they all fled out of the scene and headed to the back gate of the school.
The front gate was already flooding with zombies so they attempted to try their luck on the back gate.
The car key and the two pistols no longer mattered to them. After all, life was more important!
Especially the teachers who owned a car immediately rushed to the back gate where their cars were parked. Other students also followed suit and formed an alliance with their homeroom teachers.
While the majority of them had left, not all of them had abandoned the twelve-year-old boy.
Shiro Ayame and Kayden Flynn remained and assisted the twelve-year-old boy in clearing the zombies.
"Kid, let's form an alliance. You seem skilled in handling those two pistols of yours. I'll show my sincerity by being your driver as well as a porter. I have a lot of supplies at hand, whether it's food or medicine."
Kayden offered while slamming his metal baseball bat toward the neck of a zombie.
Not wanting to be outdone, Ayame killed the zombies more efficiently than Kayden and offered, "Little brother, I can become your bodyguard and my close-quarters combat is top-notch. You can kill zombies with your pistols from afar while I can protect you if the zombies ever come close."
Winston, the twelve-year-old boy, didn't reply to their offers yet as he was focused on eliminating all of the zombies that entered his eyesight.
When his pistols had run out of bullets, Winston reloaded his pistols swiftly as he removed the empty magazines and replaced them with the ones he had stored in his pockets.
Out of the three of them, Winston killed the most zombies which was followed by Ayame. As for Kayden, he had the least zombies killed amongst them since he only had the physical capabilities of an F+ grade so he couldn't compare to Ayame's E+ grade stats.
However, that didn't discourage Kayden since he knew that his advantage didn't lie in combat but in being a walking warehouse.
'Although I never planned to form an alliance with other NPCs or players due to the risk of being betrayed by them, I have to admit that it will be difficult for me alone to survive in this world infested with zombies.'
'This white-haired girl is literally stronger than me and I don't doubt that she could survive on her own. The same went for this twelve-year-old boy whose marksmanship is top-notch. As long as I form an alliance with them, I don't mind revealing my special event item as long as it would show my worth to them and earn their trust.'
With those thoughts in mind, Kayden became more eager to form an alliance with Ayame and Winston.
However, Kayden knew that the final decision was dependent on Winston so he could only wait for Winston's response to his and Ayame's offers.
While Winston was spraying volleys of bullets toward those zombies, he frowned when he noticed that there were a few students who only watched on the sidelines and didn't assist them in killing zombies. They were like vultures witnessing the lion fight to the death with the hyenas, waiting for any of the two sides to die and benefit from it.
Noticing Winston shifting his attention toward those students, Ayame and Kayden solemnly looked at them and contemplated whether to deal with them first or not.
After all, those students were like disgusting opportunists waiting for them to exhaust themselves from fighting against the zombies.
While Ayame and Kayden were still hesitating, Winston decided to take the initiative, "Whitey, I can deal with these zombies. You, on the other hand, will knock out those students."
