Chapter 8: The Team
The surrounding bodies had been cleaned up, and the road to the staff's office was unusually smooth.
...
Looking at Kurumi who was fiddling with the TV, Poison Island Tsuneko smiled slightly at everyone who didn't know what to do, "You should all know Teacher Jukawa Shizuka from the infirmary, I'm Poison Island Tsunza from Class A in the third year, please give me a lot of advice." ”
"Huh?" Crazy San turned his head a little puzzled, "I'm also in Class A in the third year, why haven't I seen you on Poison Island?" ”
Komuro Takashi on the side interjected before Poison Island Tsuneko could explain, "Senior Sister Tokizaki, you only turned around in the past two days, and Senior Sister Poison Island is generally in the kendo club, which caused you to be in the third class but you don't know each other." ”
"Is that so?" Kurumi nodded and didn't say anything more when he saw Poison Island Tsuneko, turned his head and continued to fiddle with the TV that couldn't be turned on for some reason.
Looking at the somewhat awkward atmosphere, Komuro Takashi felt that he should continue to talk about the topic of Poison Island's senior sister, at least get to know each other first, after all, they can rely on each other in this catastrophic city, right?
"Sister Poison Island, I'm Xiao Muro, Class B in the second year."
...
The rest of the people also introduced themselves one by one, only Hirano Toda was a little embarrassed. "I'm in the same class as Gao Cheng and Xiaomuro, and I'm in Class B in the second year, so please give me a lot of advice!"
Komuro Takashi touched the back of his head, "I didn't expect that there are quite a few survivors in our B class, but I don't know about other classes in the school..."
"Hey--, hey, this broken TV is finally normal, at least let's understand what happened, Xiaomu, take the remote control to the news station!"
"Okay, Tokizaki-senpai."
"The government has urgently discussed the report on the damage ... Unfortunately, however, neither the ruling nor the opposition parties have approved the request for the Self-Defense Forces to come to the rescue, and it is estimated that at least 10,000 people will be affected in Saitama Prefecture. ”
"Bang--Bang--"
It can be clearly seen that the host of the show is very nervous now, and the speed of her speech is constantly increasing, indicating that she is very panicked in her heart, "We can see that the police have shot just now!" That's right, those who died of infection are alive again! ”
"Bang--ah! Oh, my God! What is it! Don't come, don't come! Help me! Yes! ”
The picture in the TV is tilted on the ground, and the fragments of the screen are the traces left by the camera crashing into the ground, from which can be heard the panicked shouts of the hostess... Then there was no sound...
On the screen, you can vaguely see the same dead body as in the school, wandering unconsciously on the street, and rushing up like crazy when you see a living person...
"Ahh The silence of the entire staff office makes people's scalps tingle.
"Bang--" Crazy Sanyi snatched the remote control from Komuro Xiao's hand, and quickly changed a few more channels.
"London has now completely fallen!"
"The White House has become a sea of fire! And the head has been completely evacuated! Preparing to transfer the government to aircraft carriers at sea, according to rumors, this move is precisely to launch strategic nuclear weapons..."
“... There is a riot in Tokyo, and there are many casualties! The Self-Defense Forces are constantly maintaining order! Some of the warships of the United States have already been evacuated from the port..."
"Liaison with Moscow has been cut off ... "Before the host finished speaking, ---- TV turned white.
Komuro slammed his fist on the desk and said angrily, "What is this? The announcement seems so understated, it is clearly a child's play on everyone's lives! ”
Kurumi sitting in the chair looked very calm, "It is precisely because of this that they don't want to cause the so-called panic, otherwise things will be even more tricky." He took a sip of the tea he received from the water dispenser and looked at the people who were a little stunned.
"Panic causes chaos, chaos begets a breakdown of order, and order breaks down." Kurumi's smile became a little sickly, "Those dead bodies on the street are an example for everyone. ”
The soft light of the setting sun shines through the pleated windows in the office, giving people a hint of serenity and laziness, which is definitely a good day in normal times, but the people in the room feel a sense of oppression.
"How did it become like this, it's all fine when I'm surfing the Internet at home in the morning." Komuro complained.
Rei Miyamoto took two steps back, with an expression of disbelief on her face, "How could the world be like this in just a few hours?" Tugging at the corner of Kurumi's clothes, "You said yes, there must be a safe place, and it won't be long before it returns to normal, right?" ”
Kurumi looked at Miyamoto Rei beside her and asked herself with a look of hope, she didn't want to tell her the truth anymore.
"How is that possible!" The affirmative tone focused everyone's attention on Saya Takashihiro. "It's a massive epidemic, like the Spanish flu in 1918, with more than 600 million people, what's the solution?"
"In that case," Shizuka Jukawa, a medical teacher, tried to recall, "this illness is similar to the Black Death in the 14th century. ”
"At that time, a third of the population of Europe died." Kurumi reminds them, "You can only stop it if there are enough mass deaths, because then all the people are dead, and there is nothing left to infect." ”
Hirano Toda, who was by the window, opened a small opening in the pleated curtains, looked at the dead bodies outside, and said solemnly, "But these dead people can still walk, they can attack people, they will be infected when they are bitten, and then they will become them again after death!" ”
Looking back at the people in the office, "There has never been a record of a large-scale epidemic!" ”
"That's right!" Shizuka Jukawa seemed to think of something, "The weather will soon get hot, and when they all rot and turn into a pile of white bones, maybe they won't be able to move!" ”
Kurumi wants to laugh very much now, but seeing that everyone is serious, she has to hold back her laughter, "dead body", to put it bluntly, is similar to "zombie", but zombies still have the possibility of evolution, and the dead body in the anime does not have this ability.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the main god is a ghost, and the crazy three still think that the zombies are more powerful, and the comparison of zombies is definitely a miracle of biological evolution in terms of setting! That's a creature with infinite evolutionary possibilities!
Coughing lightly, Kurumi decided to interrupt their fantasies, "It's hard to say whether these will rot or not, after all, they all eat human flesh, although I don't know if they are used to keep their bodies running... But I feel the same. ”
"I agree with Tokisaki-senpai's words!" Saya Takashiro clasped his hands in front of his chest, making the pair of rabbits stand out, "It can move and attack human corpses, this is not within the scope of medical definition, and it will continue forever." ”
Looking at Saya Takashiro's inadvertent movements, Kurumi raised his eyebrows unnaturally, lowered his head and looked at his chest... In reality, it is definitely big among peers, but in this "milk shake revelation", it seems a little...
After listening to everyone's analysis, "So, now that the safety of your family has been determined, the next step is where to flee is the most important thing, in short, you can't survive without a target!" We need to form a team and escape as much as possible with the survivors! ”
Everyone's faces suddenly became serious, and they picked up their respective weapons and wanted to rush out, but Crazy San threw cold water and said, "First of all, we need a vehicle. ”
Shizuka Jukawa took out the key to her own Beetle a little cutely, "Is this okay?" ”
"Mr. Jukawa, are you sure your car can seat so many people?"
"Then why don't you just drive the school bus, isn't it always parked there? The key should be in the staff office, everyone look for it! ”
...
"Here!" Just when everyone was looking for it, Shizuka Jukawa rummaged through a small drawer and found the school bus key, to be honest, what everyone didn't expect was that she found it, after all, the personality is indeed a little out of the way.
Kurumi held the steel knife on the table in his hand and looked at the protagonist and his group, "Then what are you waiting for?"
