Chapter 29: Defense (One)

On behalf of Shiro

– “It’s started.” – I thought, looking out the window and gripping nodati tightly

– Oh! What happened? I just got through to Riki-chan… Shizuka said sadly, handing the “dead” phone back.

– A nuclear bomb, that’s what happened. Saya replied, frowning out the window.

– Don’t be sad Shizuka. – I smiled – But you know that she is alive. –

– Umm… You’re right! We’ll find her! Well, or she’s us…– our nurse poked her cheek with her finger.

Meanwhile, it was not quiet outside.

– Why did you get up? –

– Yes, the car is dead! Damn it! –

– My God! Somebody help me! My husband’s pacemaker broke down! Not~et! Cute! Don’t leave me! Help me! –

– These bastards are destroying fences! We won’t last long without electricity! Tell them quickly! –

The quiet estate quickly turned into a very noisy hive, and the walkers, as if waiting for instructions, went towards the residence. And without this, the quiet city, without electricity, became even quieter, which only helped the undead to find a residence.

After a while, our team was already standing outside.

– All the electrical stopped working … – Ray said in shock.

– Of course! A nuclear strike with its momentum puts all electronics out of order. Cars, telephones, even power plants… – I decided to show off my intelligence, Takagi.

– Can they be repaired? Soichiro said as he walked down the stairs with Yuriko.

– Dad? Mmm… yes, you can fix it, if it’s not too much hurt. You just need to replace the burned parts. The same old or military equipment should be, in theory, on the move. –

– Did you hear!? – shouted Soichiro – Check! Now! –

– We obey! – the workers answered him and quickly rustled in different directions.

– You were able to keep your head sober even in such chaos. I’m proud of you daughter. Soichiro said, which embarrassed Sayu. Apparently, she didn’t often hear this from her father.

– Pa… – Saya began to speak softly, but she was interrupted.

– Barricade! Away! Let’s go away! Agrh… It hurts! It hurts! – interrupted her worker, who ran and shot back from the zombies until he was captured. The poor man did not die immediately. His pleas were heard for another ten seconds.

A large river of zombies was moving towards the main entrance. Seeing this, Soichiro gave his subordinates a tough order. – Close the gate! Don’t let them pass! –

– Sir! But… But what about the other people behind the fence? –

– If we don’t close it, we’ll lose everyone! Do it! – he said harshly.

He made a rather unpleasant and difficult decision… however, as a leader I would have done the same. Almost.

– Soichiro-san… If we close the gates, it won’t be long before this place is destroyed. – I calmly told him, which attracted the attention of others.

“And what do you suggest, Shirou–kun?” Yuriko asked quickly without giving her husband an answer.

– I suggest just closing the gate, leaving a small passage. Thanks to this, zombies will arrive in small quantities and the tension on the fence will subside. So we will slowly destroy them. If we close the gates, then they will break through them in a large crowd and then we will be in trouble. –

– A sound idea. Soichiro nodded. Do as he says. –

Honestly, I’m a little surprised that he agreed right away. Maybe Mr. Takagi is desperate, but he doesn’t show it?

– Yes, sir! –

While I was making a speech, one of the zombies came quite close. I was about to go and kill him when Hirano beat me to it… Well, how ahead of me. I let him do it.

– When the gun is in your hands … – aiming said the Cat – * BANG * Bullet in the forehead! Everything is cool nah! – he finished and shot the walker in the head. Also, everyone who wanted to take his weapon away from him recently realized that it was better not to mess with this psycho.

The men opened the gate a crack. Thereby making a small opening through which two zombies could squeeze through at most, which they did.

The guards calmly shot them. But I wonder if they have enough bullets?

– Sir. Madam. I’ve brought your weapons. – said the guy who came running from the house with a box in his hands.

– Great. Yuriko said and tore her dress from the side.

In this action, her hips are put on display… Even a piece of purple panties with lace was visible. Erotic.

Needless to say, everyone was confused by her step. Except me… I’ve been waiting for this. I mean, I knew it would be like this. Yes that’s right…

– Uh… Mom! –

– Oh… – the fat man was embarrassed.

– Here Saya is for you. Yuriko said, handing over the gun and not paying attention to her daughter’s surprised face.

– It’s a Luger P08! Dutch model! With a butt and a drum magazine! What a thing! Hirano shouted, looking at the gun. He was almost salivating…

– Mom, I don’t even know how to use it… and where did you get a weapon from!? –

– I took a self-defense course when I worked on Wall Street. And I was a much better shot than your father. Yuriko said calmly. There are clearly echoes of pride in her tone.

Just at this moment, the guards ran out of bullets. We need to save.

– I’ll help them. – I said, walking towards the gate – Hirano, teach Sayu to shoot for now. All of you… Help the locals as much as you can. I can handle it at the entrance. –

They didn’t even have time to answer me.

At this point, we should, in theory, leave. I just don’t want Yuriko to die. Right at all. Besides… right in front of me, a great opportunity to finish the task is knocking on the gate. This crowd should be enough for me. Count two birds with one stone.

I’m generally confused about how Soichiro and Yuriko could die from zombies in the anime. In the canon, zombies were just weaklings.

In the present, they are faster. And there are quite a lot of sighted among them.

– Hey! Are you a fool or something?! Saya shouted furiously at my back – There are too many of them! Come back! Saeko, at least you tell him! –

“He’s strong. It will be very easy for him. I know that and I believe in him. Saeko said in a soft, cordial tone, looking lovingly at my back. I could feel that look right there. Nice damn! Already goosebumps ran. I love her.

A couple of seconds and I’m already there. The sound of nodati coming out of the scabbard caresses the ears. It was for such moments that such a sword was forged.

One swing and five heads slowly flew off, spinning in the air.

One swing and five necks shortened.

I didn’t even feel any resistance. It’s like he just walked through the air. I’ll never get used to it.

Another swing and the next batch of heads flew off his shoulders. Another wave. And again… And more…

Gradually, a large puddle of blood and pus began to squish under my feet. The corpses began to form a slide.

The smell of blood in the air was so thick that just inhaling in the mouth smelled like metal.

While I was working hard, the men were talking quietly, looking at me in horror.

– B##t! He cuts them down like grass! It’s better not to anger him! –

– Kami… I’m going to puke right now. –

– He’ll kill me the same way! It’s like a demon is going to kill me! –

– Yes, why did you take Yoshida? I think he’s a great guy. –

– Yeah! Great! Except I was staring at his girlfriend yesterday… And he burned me! I swear to God, you burned me, Hayashi! I’m not going to sleep now, I’ll wait for him! –

– Don’t be scared! He won’t kill you for it… Maybe. –

They’re funny. I wouldn’t kill you for that, you fool. It’s too fast… I wouldn’t have had time to suffer…
