Chapter 046 Reunion with Fellow Villagers
Shibuya Ward, Tokyo.
The air was filled with the smell of burnt rubber and a strong stench of blood.
The streetlights flickered, their light casting intermittent shadows on the ravaged streets.
Just ten minutes ago, this place was a living hell.
Tyrants tear tanks apart with their bare hands, Lickers scale walls and rooftops, and rats devour everything.
but now……
"roar--"
A series of low, guttural roars came from all directions.
The licker, who had been gnawing on the corpse atop the wrecked car, suddenly froze. Then, surprisingly, it abandoned the fresh meat in its mouth, turned, and jumped off the roof.
Not just it.
Even the hundreds and thousands of zombies and mutated dogs in the surrounding area stopped all movement.
Then they all turned in the same direction, without even glancing at the survivors hiding in the corners, and disappeared into the dark alleys or into the sewers.
They've withdrawn.
Like the receding tide.
The once crowded and roaring streets were instantly deserted, leaving only a pile of severed limbs and still-burning flames.
Two pairs of eyes peered out from behind a floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor of a shopping mall, looking down at the empty street below in disbelief.
"This...this is it...they're gone?"
Daida swallowed hard, finding it hard to believe.
Behind her, Sato Saori, who was already covered in dirt, was clasping her hands together and muttering something under her breath.
"May the Bodhisattva protect us, may God protect us, may the Jade Emperor protect us..."
"You mispronounced it!"
The silly girl turned around and glared at her, then lowered her voice and cursed:
"Our gods and Buddhas don't care about outsiders!"
Upon hearing this, Sato Saori pouted, looking aggrieved: "Then... what's the point of praying to anyone?"
"Worshipping anyone won't help; you have to rely on your own strength!"
Daida took a deep breath and, after confirming that there were no monsters outside, carefully got up and went to the elevator leading downstairs.
"There are no monsters down there, run out quickly!"
As she spoke, she took the elevator down to the first floor and then rushed out onto the street without incident.
When she actually stood on the street, she realized that the scene before her was even more tragic than what she had seen from upstairs.
Scrap metal is everywhere, and mosaics are everywhere.
If it weren't for her life being at stake, she would have loved to livestream a Gundam build!
Daida felt her stomach churning. She suppressed the urge to vomit and ran wildly along the wall like a headless fly.
At this moment, the other survivors who had been hiding in the surrounding buildings also noticed something was wrong.
People gradually emerged from shops, convenience stores, and shopping malls.
No one spoke.
There was a tacit silence among everyone.
Everyone stared in terror at the empty road before them.
Although they didn't know why the monsters had disappeared, their survival instincts drove them to form a human stream and rush frantically southward.
"Ouch!"
Just then, Sato Saori, who was closely following behind Daida-mei, suddenly exclaimed in surprise, tripped, and fell to the ground.
"Grandma! You can still slip and fall flat on your face at a time like this?"
The silly girl turned around and instinctively reached out to pull her away without speaking kindly.
"No...no..."
Sato Saori lay on the ground, not in a hurry to get up, but pointed to the intersection not far away, her eyes wide open.
"Sis...look at that!"
Daida looked in the direction she was pointing.
Not far from them, at the intersection, there was a large metal net covering the road.
And beneath that net, there was actually a person.
To be precise, it should be, or rather appears to be, a corpse.
However, the corpse was completely intact compared to the surrounding mosaic.
Of course, the most crucial thing wasn't the corpse, but that person... that face...
"Holy crap?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously swore.
She instinctively moved closer and carefully examined the area under the dim streetlights.
"Holy shit...that bastard!!!"
Although his face was a little dusty, his sculpted features, his damn handsomeness, and his signature black hair were still striking.
"Lin Sang?!"
Sato Saori, who followed, also recognized Lin Fan and covered her mouth in surprise.
"Lin, what are you doing here, Lin-san?"
"You're asking me? Who should I ask?"
The silly girl rolled her eyes.
She had absolutely no good impression of Lin Fan.
Even if he's handsome, it doesn't change the fact that he stole my money and phone.
"Is he...is he dead?"
"By the way, are you a nurse?"
"Ah, oh!!"
Sato Saori was taken aback, then mustered her courage and stepped forward to check Lin Fan's breath.
My fingertips just touched the metal mesh.
"Sizzle—"
A faint electric current bounced off.
"ah!"
The nurse withdrew her hand, her fingertips numb.
But the next second, she exclaimed in surprise:
"He's breathing! He's still warm! Sis, he's not quite dead yet!"
The silly girl rolled her eyes:
"So what if he's not completely dead? Let's go, mind our own business, survival is the priority!"
After saying that, she pulled Sato Saori up and started to leave.
"Yada!"
Sato Saori clung to the edge of the electric fence, stubbornly refusing to let go.
He's Chinese! And he's my patient!
And...and he doesn't look infected at all; there's not a single good inch of flesh on him...no, it's all good flesh!"
Sato Saori spoke incoherently, but her eyes were unusually firm.
"We can't just stand by and watch people die! The announcement said that any foreign citizen can be evacuated; every extra person helps!"
The silly girl laughed in exasperation.
"An extra bit of power? What kind of idea is that?"
She pointed to Lin Fan, who was lying unconscious on the ground.
"Are you sure we won't end up feeding the zombies if we bring this burden along?"
"But……"
Sato Saori's eyes reddened, and tears welled up in them.
"I...I can't leave him here alone. It's too cruel."
Looking at the other person's overly compassionate and saintly demeanor, Daida Mei felt a headache coming on.
She wanted to just leave.
But looking at Lin Fan's fellow countryman appearance, and then at the Japanese around them who, even while fleeing for their lives, didn't forget to shove each other, they were still jostling each other.
"What a tragedy!"
The silly girl looked up at the sky and sighed, then slammed the baseball bat she had picked up onto the ground.
"I must have owed you something in my past life! You stole my money, and now I have to save you..."
She grumbled as she went to try it out, and thankfully the power was gone, leaving only a little static electricity.
The two of them struggled to pull away the heavy metal mesh.
Looking at Lin Fan on the ground, apart from a lot of blood scabs on his head, he had no external injuries at all.
If Daida knew that this guy was the culprit behind all this, she would probably kick him into the sewer.
"rise!"
The naive girl gritted her teeth and lifted Lin Fan's left arm.
The nurse quickly supported her right arm.
"one two three!"
The two of them exerted force together.
Not moving.
"Why is this thing so heavy!"
The silly girl's face turned bright red from holding it in.
Looking at Lin Fan's slender figure, who would have thought he was so heavy?
Actually, it's not their fault.
At this moment, Lin Fan's body has been strengthened once again through [Infinite Reorganization]. His bone density and muscle fibers have long surpassed those of ordinary people, and his weight has naturally increased many times over.
"Drag them along!"
Left with no other choice, Daida Mei had to give up her idea of carrying people on her back.
She found a broken GG brand plastic board by the roadside and threw Lin Fan onto it.
Then they found a few broken ropes and tied them to the front of the plastic board.
"Get out of here!"
And so, the two of them were like pulling a makeshift sled, laboriously dragging it along the gravel-strewn street.
"Sizzle—sizzle—"
The plastic sheet rubs against the ground.
Lin Fan lay unconscious on the "sled," his head bobbing up and down with the bumps of the road.
"I'm exhausted..."
While panting heavily, Daida Mei mentally cursed Lin Fan's ancestors for eighteen generations.
"Once this guy wakes up, I'm making him pay back the money—no, I'm making him spend it all on Carnival for me, a thousand times over!!"
"Sis, why do you think he fainted here?" Sato Saori asked, still having time to gossip while pulling the cart.
"Ask me?"
The naive girl turned around and glared at Lin Fan with annoyance.
"You look decent enough, but you're utterly useless when it matters. If it weren't for the fact that you saved my life..."
