Chapter 30: Defense (Two)

– Don’t talk, but help me. I told them.

– Yeah, it’s… You’re doing pretty well on your own – somehow they hesitated. Am I really that creepy?

– Do you see the corpses already forming a hill? Take them and make a barricade under the gate. –

– What do you mean? – said one of them.

And they looked at me like… like I had a second head grown.

– What do you mean? Take the corpses and prop up the gate with them! –

–Okay, okay… just you.”.. Don’t let them near us.” they bleated and carefully began to stack the corpses under the gate. Soon they were propped up by mountains of corpses and it became “easier” for them.

All this cutting lasts about an hour. Maybe two. And all this time, I’m like a machine, tirelessly chopping heads. Of course, I experienced different emotions from such “leisure”. And to be honest, there were no negative ones at all. Only positive ones. Excitement. And no, not sexual, but martial. Well, the joy of the fact that the task is slowly approaching completion.

At such moments, I understand how much the skills from the system change me. Is it scary? To know that you are changing…?

To be honest, no. I approach this in a philosophical way. A person is born and dies every day. Every day the old one dies, and the new one comes to light. Life experience constantly changes us. Teaches us. It’s just that in my situation, I purchased a “premium” account for fast pumping, that’s all. Funny and convenient.

Standing in a pool of blood and pus. Feeling almost a taste in my mouth… I don’t feel like throwing up. The old “me” would have been emptying himself long ago, at the nearest tree.

Okay, enough thoughts for today.

Two huge piles did not give the zombies even a chance to “put” the gate. Only about twenty or thirty percent of the horde itself remained.

While I was holding the defense, the people in the camp were not idle. It was decided to leave the Takagi estate and move to another place… On their own two feet. After all, there was almost no transport on the move, and the one that was used to transport provisions.

It was decided to go to the nearest port. There would be enough room for everyone there, and also, perhaps, there is hope to find a large ship on which it will be easier to survive.

We decided to get through residential areas, which is logical. When all this hurdy-gurdy started, people were mostly in the city center, for obvious reasons.

Besides, it’s on our way, because the Ray and Takashi families are just there… At least they hoped so.

So, during this time, I noticed that the dead are getting faster and stronger by the minute, literally before our eyes. Almost all of them could already see. Such a metamorphosis. And all this in a short two hours. Something is wrong here…

Having cut down the next batch of zombies, he completed the task.

The already familiar “mysterious” energy spread throughout the body, making it more flexible and agile. My vision became even sharper, and my hearing became more sensitive. Other senses have also been improved. Even the balance of the body was affected and my already smooth movements became even more soft and elegant. With concentration, the world began to move even slower.

In general, a successful contribution.

By bonuses. Nothing. Well, except for additional consciousness, no more bonus. Both for strength and endurance. It’s sad, but I guessed that this would happen… Maybe a hundred bonus?

My thoughts were interrupted by a new zombie of amazing appearance. There is something to see… Big, bigger than me. Definitely more than two and a half meters, almost three, probably. The bloated body was covered with powerful muscles. According to the form, it can be assumed that he was either a policeman or a military man.

Now it is clear who broke through the barrier and let this crowd in. But why didn’t he come here first? I’ve already killed almost everyone, and this one is coming here just now? Strange…

Also, where did this bitch come from, huh? He never looks like a future vampire at all! And how did he develop, managed to reach such a stage? Okay, then thoughts.

– What the fuck is this! Yoshida, look at that! What a colossus! The impressed guy shouted.

– Why did you open the mitten! Let’s run! He will devour us for one or two! – another “hero” shouted running away.

– Wait! Wait for me! But what about the boy! –

– Nothing! He’s gonna hold that bitch up while we run away! His feat will never be forgotten! And I can sleep at night. – he shouted while he ran, and at the end he mumbled to himself.

Except I could hear his mumbling perfectly.… But we’ll deal with him later.

– What rats! Yoshida! Hayashi! Scum! – the men who stayed with me cursed them.

– Nothing! The guy! I’m sure, together, we can nail this club! – they said. But it’s clear from their faces that they themselves did not believe in their words. Brave suicides… heroes damn.

No one had time to react, as I brought the nodati with a familiar movement, and then everything went the old-fashioned way. Smoothly, but at the same time abruptly, I cut off the giant’s head. And again, there was resistance, but extremely small. It was as if he had cut the water flowing from the tap with a sword. And almost no effort was spent.

Seeing the quick massacre of the zombies, the brave men were shocked. Then they exhaled with smiles.

– He nailed it… phew. –

– Have you seen it? He didn’t even have time to blink as his head flew off!?

– And the guy is strong! –

– It wasn’t clear before, was it? –

– Well, it used to be earlier, and now it’s now. Such a beast to fill it up… Strongly. –

While they were rejoicing, I decided to end it all. After killing the interfering zombies, he closed the gate, and also propped them up with the body of this “sleeper”.

– Come on, let’s help the others. We’re done here,” I told them, sheathing the nodati.

When they heard me, they quickly ran to help. I can see that I frighten them a lot since they fulfill my “request” so well.

“Jarvis, can you tell me why zombies have started to evolve so fast? And where did this tall woman come from?” – I mentally asked my assistant.

– In recent days, the amount of energy in the air has increased many times and continues to increase, sir. –

I frowned.

“Nuclear missiles, sir. –

– “Stop, what!? Zombies absorb radiation? And how could I ever forget about radiation?” – I mentally shouted in my head and smacked myself in the face with gusto.
