Chapter 26: The Road

Chapter 26: The Road

The evening ended with the fact that when I returned, I handed Alice to the girls. They washed her, and then fed her what I cooked. The baby quickly fell asleep. No wonder, she's been through a lot today.

Having released the Cat, I decided to stand on the lookout myself. While I was standing on the balcony and looking at the fallen city, my head was tormented by various thoughts.

It seems that even I was not so easily given a rather cruel execution of those people, but I did not have any feelings about it.

Realizing this, I decided to do introspection. Ask yourself questions and find answers to them. It is very useful to do this. I recommend it.

The logical chain led me to two things.

First. This is the "Martial Arts Master" skill. The skill seems to have reduced negative emotions towards killing. No, I didn't become a soulless machine, but the only thing I experienced then was irritation and fatigue.

The second reason is that I myself have already died once. And now knowing that there is a future after death There are various ways that God will give you to choose

Let's say... after that, I stopped feeling negative emotions about death. For me it became like a game Yes, like in games. You kill one, and he "spawns" in another place. This is similar to the opinion of religious fanatics. Except they believe it, and I know. Funny, isn't it? Okay, not funny.

All this has led to the fact that it has become easy for me to condemn people to death, but even here it is not so simple. Thanks to the rules that I try to follow, I will not become a maniac.

Those who attack me should be prepared that I will kill them in response.

Those who took up arms should understand that they have ceased to be simple "civilians" and have turned into warriors, and I do not feel sorry for a warrior, like a soldier.

Basically, everything, as before, comes down to my interests. I know that there are a lot of pitfalls in my reasoning, and they are strange, but I think time will tell whether it's worth reviewing all this or not.

Besides, I have a question for my assistant.

"Jarvis, you didn't tell me yesterday, but how does the virus spread?"

I'm sorry, we were just interrupted last time. So, the virus is spreading everywhere. In the air, water, food

- "Yes? Then why didn't everyone become zombies at once?"

Because the virus, though magical, is still a virus. A small part of it cannot infect healthy people.

- "Healthy? And the sick?"

You guessed right, sir. All those who had weak immunity became infected. Old people, children, and all those who are unlucky enough to be immunocompromised these days. That's how the first zombies appeared. After infection, the virus multiplies in the body of a zombie. Each zombie is essentially a real hive with a virus.

- "I see. It turns out... until you're weakened and bitten. The chances of turning are extremely minimal?"

Yes, sir.

- "Well... At least some good news. So it will be easier with water and food."

In the morning we collected as many useful things as possible and got into the hummer.

This time I was driving a car and as it turns out, if you're in the driver's seat and you hit a zombie, then it counts as murder.

But it's not worth pointing a weapon at every passerby

"We're not everyone, Takashi. I glanced at him We have a car, weapons, ammunition, food and beautiful women here. Tell me, how can the bad guys miss this, huh?

There was silence after my words... Everyone was thinking.

No one is talking about an attack. Most likely they are good people, but it's better to show right away that we are not easy prey...That there is a price they will have to pay before taking something away from us.

He's right. Only recently they tried to rob us, but me. Ray was saying, her face darkening. She clearly remembered how she was taken hostage.

That's what I'm talking about. As they say. "If you want peace, prepare for war."

My beloved is right. Criminals are just waiting for the common people to show slack.

Oh, of course you will support him. Saya threw an eloquent look at Saeko But yes, I also agree with that.

While we were talking, the cars stopped. People in special uniforms started coming out of them.

They look like firefighters. muttered the Cat.

Let's see, I don't think they were going to extinguish the fire. Okay, I'm going to talk. Cover me. I said and got out of the car.

Be careful. Saeko called after him.

Of course, honey. I said and "pecked" her lips.

Then he slowly walked towards our "firefighters".

Greetings. How can I help you? I said, walking up to them.

Hello. We'd like to know how you got here. a beautiful female voice was heard from under the mask. Come on, I already know it's Sai's mom.

"Through the wire behind us." I jerked my thumb over my shoulder.

That is?

She was bothering us. So I shot her and made my way.

Fine. May I ask your name? she asked, obviously not very happy with the news about the destroyed fence.

Yuki Shiro. Student of the Fujimi Academy, at your service. I bowed caricaturally.

Are you Yuki Shiro? I see. I'm Takagi Yuriko. My daughter was talking about you. According to her stories, I imagined you a little different.

And how?

Well, she said that you were the best student in the school and that it annoys her that you surpassed her in grades. That's why I thought you would be much smaller and more skinny. Yuriko said taking off her mask.

I think it's not your fault, Saya describes people very poorly. By the way, she's in that car with me. I pointed at the hummer.

- what? Is my daughter here? With you? God, what a joy. she said, finally taking off her headdress.

Yuriko Takagi 's face appeared in the light

And I have to say that she's just a bomb. Long dark pink hair and large expressive eyes of the same color. Thin eyebrows, small-looking soft lips. Slightly tanned skin clean skin... You know, I like these milfs...

Okay, that's enough, I have Saeko.

Are you really Sai's mom? More like an older sister. I smiled pleasantly.

Oh-oh-oh-oh, thanks for the compliment, but I already know I'm old. she laughed, covering her mouth with her hand.

Old? God, women only bloom with age.

Well, stop embarrassing me. she said... That's just embarrassment here and does not smell, only self-satisfaction. It seems Yuriko doesn't often hear compliments in her direction, which is strange.

Turning towards the car, he shouted. Hirano! You can take them off the front sight! These are theirs! Tell Sae that her mom is here!

Good! his voice came.

"You had us at gunpoint?" Do you have a weapon? Yuriko asked in surprise.

You heard wrong... I replied with all the available "honesty".

She didn't even have time to react, as Saya already came running with tears of joy in her eyes and jumped into her mother's arms.

Mom! It's good that you're alive!

And how glad I am, my daughter. My father and I couldn't find a place for ourselves.

Is Dad okay?

Yes, he organized a shelter for everyone in our house. You know him

Yes, I know ... somehow Saya answered not very happily.

As a result, we helped Yuriko and her people to update the protection, after which we went to the Takagi mansion together.
