Kagamihara Nadeshiko gave the band a demonstration at the end, while Gabriel was responsible for ensuring everyone's safety, which would minimize the risk of them clearing zombies from the alley.
Because they were going to ride their motorcycles to rescue people soon, Shinonome and Shima Rin did not join them. Instead, they observed the situation on the street from the alley entrance to prevent any zombies from appearing without their knowledge.
Dongyun had no intention of clearing out all the zombies in the alley. He just wanted the band to practice and try to deal with the zombies using melee weapons rather than firearms.
After all, in a big city like Vikland, shooting is too easy to get food; it's best to use melee weapons if possible.
Fortunately, Shinonome's worries were unnecessary; after all, the band that ended their journey was a survival team that fought their way out of the subway station.
Moreover, the zombies they were dealing with were walking zombies, not running zombies, so even though everyone was somewhat panicked, they still managed to kill the zombies they were supposed to deal with.
Seeing this, Dongyun prepared to set off.
"Then be careful, we're off."
Shinonome looked at Kagamihara Nadeshiko, who had returned to the motorcycle shop, and the four members of the band who had finished their performance, and said a few more words before putting on his helmet.
"Nadeshiko, I'm leaving this to you. If anyone comes, you...you decide for yourselves. Don't hesitate, even if it's a wrong decision, make a quick one."
"However, please act within your means and only offer help to others when you can ensure your own safety. I can only add one more thing to remind you: social order is collapsing and people's hearts are unpredictable."
As they spoke, Dongyun put on his helmet, turned on his Bluetooth headset, and silently looked at Ichiji Nijika.
His subsequent words were primarily addressed to Nijika, not Nadeshiko. Nijika was the leader of the End Band, and he hoped she would demonstrate the responsibility of a leader and prevent everyone from falling into danger.
He believed that Nadeshiko would listen to him and save people without putting herself in danger, but he couldn't be sure about Nijika, Kita, Pochi, and Ryo.
If someone has an overactive sense of compassion and accidentally lets in a zombie or someone who shouldn't be there, they're doomed.
To be blunt, he didn't care what happened to the band after their breakup. Even though they were his favorite anime characters, he'd only spent less than a day with them. If they died, he'd feel sorry for them. But if something happened to Nadeshiko…
No, no, that won't happen.
Shinonome shook his head and spoke with Shima Rin to confirm that the Bluetooth headset had successfully connected.
"We walked."
Shinonome waved to the girls in the shop, then nodded to Gabriel and Rin Shima.
They set off to rescue Yi Shanghua and Han Shengjing.
……
Breakfast hotel.
Yi Shanghua and Han Shengjing are waiting for rescue.
Just now, the power went out in the hotel, but the water is still running, though I imagine it won't be long before it stops.
The good news was that their phones were fully charged and had signal and internet access; the bad news was that the streets outside the hotel were teeming with zombies.
"They seem to be more active at night than during the day."
Behind the curtains on the second floor, Yi Shanghua frowned as he looked at the zombies on the street.
Last night, he and his wife were sleeping peacefully in their room when they were woken up by the howling of zombies outside.
During this time, they also saw a car drive across the road, hit several zombies, and then quickly disappeared. They didn't know if the people in the car were alright.
Will they be able to get here safely?
Sitting on the bed, hands clasped tightly, Han Shengjing felt uneasy.
Through contact with the angel who called herself Gabriel, they learned that her companions were three high school students, and that they had also rescued four special high school girls who could use guns.
She and her husband also learned that after being rescued, they would be drivers, each driving two cars onto the railway to leave this terrifying city filled with death.
The question is, can they really get there safely and bring them back safely?
It wasn't that she didn't believe in the angel's abilities, but she was a little worried, just a little worried, because she knew that the angel wasn't that powerful, otherwise the city wouldn't have turned out like this.
"She's here! I see her!"
Just as Han Shengjing was filled with worry, Yi Shanghua saw an angel appear on the road, and then he saw two motorcycles following behind the angel.
Immediately, the sound of motorcycles could be heard, and people on the street sprang into action.
But the next second, they were drawn to the sound of homemade bombs beeping.
To conserve her mana, Gabriel asked the End Band for a few homemade bombs. Although the explosions would attract more zombies, they only needed to clear the area temporarily and take the people and their packed supplies with them.
As for the fact that Yi Shanghua's car is not easy to drive to a motorcycle shop, and it is a small car that is not durable, there is no need to drive it to a motorcycle shop.
Dongyun, who was leaving Vikland, had other ideas.
Chapter 34 Guilt
Motorcycle shop.
On the first floor, Kagamihara Nadeshiko and Ijichi Nijika were guarding the door.
Staring at the blood-stained glass door, Ichiji Nijika was lost in thought.
Is it really beyond saving?
She actually had some doubts about what Dongyun said.
However, since Dongyun saved them again, even though it was part of a mission, she couldn't say anything to question her.
Moreover, at that time, she also had a sliver of hope that she shouldn't go to save them. She knew that going to save people meant danger, and not only would she be in danger, but everyone would be in danger as well.
“Nadeshiko.” Ijichi Nigatsu looked at Kagamihara Nadeshiko and said with mixed feelings, “Let’s clean up the bloodstains on the door.”
The more she looked at the bloodstains on the door, the more uncomfortable she felt, and the screams she had heard at night kept replaying in her mind.
"Does it make you uncomfortable?" Kagamihara Nadeshiko noticed the gloom on Ijichi Niyatsu's face and said listlessly, "Me too."
Kagamihara Nadeshiko could understand Shinonome's actions.
Just as she could understand why Shinonome and Shima Rin shot the man in the alley after hearing the explanation, she still felt uncomfortable, as if her hands were stained with blood.
What if that man hadn't intended to shoot them? What if they had been able to save the two people at the door, thus preventing everyone from being put in danger?
Kagamihara Nadeshiko found a rag and, together with Ijichi Nikka, cleaned the bloodstains off the glass door.
After tossing the blood-stained rag into the clear bucket of water, Kagamihara Nadeshiko said softly, "Nijika, Kumo is feeling just as bad as we are."
"really?"
Ichi Nijika was skeptical, but the lingering smell of blood deepened her guilt.
"real."
Kagamihara Nadeshiko smiled and nodded emphatically, speaking with great certainty.
She understood Xiaoyun; he meant well. Compared to those of them who didn't have to make decisions, Xiaoyun probably suffered even more from doing so. And this kind of suffering might happen again in the future, with more than one instance of these uncomfortable, blood-stained choices playing out.
Therefore, she didn't want Hongxia to misunderstand Xiaoyun, nor did she want to end the band and part ways with them.
It wasn't arrogance on her part; she knew that without their help to shift their mindset after the band ended, they might become zombie food. And becoming zombie food would be the least of their worries; if they encountered other survivors, they might pay a terrible price for easily trusting them.
During her month-long stay in the mountains of Raspberry Town, Kagamihara Nadeshiko, who frequently went to the town to fish for law enforcement, clearly understood that there is no bottom to the evil in people's hearts.
……
on the street.
Dongyun, carrying Yi Shanghua, and Shima Rin, carrying Han Shengjing, sped along the road.
"Wow! That feels so good!"
Riding a motorcycle and speeding through streets full of obstacles was incredibly exciting and exhilarating for Dongyun, who had never raced before. His irritability, which had been building since he woke up that morning, vanished.
"Slow down, slow down, my God!"
On the back of the motorcycle, Yi Shanghua, who has a face like Ma Dong-seok, was shouting and yelling.
When he first got into Dongyun's car, he hoped that Dongyun would drive fast so that he could get rid of the zombies as soon as possible, but he did not expect that Dongyun could drive so fast.
If it were a wide, open road, he could accept the current speed, but on a road with zombies or wrecked cars ahead, Dongyun felt like his soul was about to fly away when he drove this fast.
"Could you drive a little slower?!"
As if thinking that Dongyun hadn't heard, Yi Shanghua shouted loudly and banged on Dongyun's helmet.
"Yes, I'll go slower when we're going through alleys."
Dongyun made an "OK" gesture with his right hand, which led Yi Shanghua to misunderstand.
"Damn it, you little brat!"
He lowered his voice halfway through his sentence.
They came to save them, after all. Although this gesture is a gesture of extreme feminism in South Korea, this kid probably doesn't understand the more detailed meaning of the gesture and is just using it to mock his cowardice.
Because the system has a built-in translator, Dong-woon's voice sounded like Korean to I-Shang-hua.
After his second time travel, Shinonome's translation system also changed. Instead of him speaking Chinese and others hearing it as Chinese but being able to understand it, his Chinese now automatically translated into the other person's native language.
However, Shinonome still couldn't understand the written language, and the system didn't translate it for him, so Gabriel had been the one contacting Ishōwa and the others.
