CHAPTER 135 SAVIORS

CHAPTER 135 SAVIORS

I shook my head. Trying to get my bearings as people screamed and yelled around me. Stumbling back the bus wasn’t pushed anymore. There were deep trenches in the ground from where my feet had dug in to try to keep the bus from being pushed further.

“Weston!” Saeko yelled. My mind was still reeling. I noticed her running toward me, fear in her eyes as mass panic broke out in the school yard. “What happened?”

“Zomays,” I mumbled, waving at the bus. I was slowly getting my bearings. “On the other side of the bus.” I pulled my Seastone Jitte out of my screen. My head aching I struggled to push chakra through the blade, but succeeded.

“In your suit?” I asked. She nodded. “Let’s go.” Unsheathing her blade we moved around the bus to see one of the zomays trying to get in. “Ready to try one?”

She didn’t hesitate. Dashing forward Saeko moved her blade to the side as she closed in on the multi-headed zomay. It roared at her, swiping a meaty paw. Dropping down she didn’t hesitate to cut off an arm. That didn’t phase it. The other hand swiping at her she severed it as well then cut off a leg.

Always moving, never pausing she cut the heads off in a smooth motion. I had a lot to learn from her yet. Nodding, I was starting to feel better. Moving around her and her foe I walked through the beaten up gate. I was surprised to find not just one more. But 3 more zomays.

I didn’t hesitate. All 3 were gnawing at the prisoners from the bus. They screamed as they were eaten alive. Huge chunks bitten out of them they were tossed to the side when the zomays were sure that the person would turn. Almost methodical as they moved onto the next living person.

“Oy!” I yelled out to the zomays. “Bring it steroid junkies!” 2 of the 3 noticed me and roared. Their arms out they ran at me.

I tried to copy Saeko’s moves. But where her moves were like a dancer’s. Mine were like a truck driver. Straight forward and hard to turn. I knew how to dodge a blow though.

Ducking down I felt the wind in the air from the zomay trying to grab me with his meaty paw. Slicing through the heads in an arc I twisted in the air bashing my Jitte in the other's head.

They dropped to the ground as I landed. The last one had the leader from the bus in his arms. I was about to run forward but Saeko beat me to it. Dashing inhumanely fast she jumped up slicing the zomay across the chest from over its shoulder to under an arm.

The top of its body slid off. Throwing the man it held as it split in 2. Saeko stabbed the heads ensuring they were dead. I gave her a thumbs up scanning for more. There were some zombies walking our way but no more big boys.

“You’re pretty sexy running around like that,” I said, moving to Saeko.

“You’re not so bad yourself,” she said with a smirk.

“Th-thank you,” the man from the bus said. He had short black hair but was unassuming. “I don’t know-“ he stopped talking as his head was lopped off.

I didn’t hardly see the blade of Saeko’s move. Before I knew it she had ended his life and was sheathing her sword. A few men behind us gasped. They were the inmates. Looking around they decided on risking somewhere else to ride this out.

“Uh there a reason you killed that guy?” I asked Saeko.

She stood over the man. Staring down at his severed head. “This is the man that attacked me,” she whispered. “The one whose bones I broke. The one who accused me of attacking him and I was sent to jail.”

“Ohhh damn, that’s a coincidence,” I said. Walking away I killed 2 zombies then walked back. “Come on. Let’s go.” She hesitated but I grabbed her arm. Pulling her back to the school.

“I don’t know,” Khota admitted.

“Whoever goes, I expect the suits back,” I admitted.

“What? Why?” Rei asked.

“Because you are leaving to wear the military can protect you. You won’t need them. I only have so many. Need to save them for people staying to fight,” I said. She frowned, a little upset.

“I-I have to go,” Rei admitted. “My parents are safe. I want to stay with them.”

“There’s no shame in that,” I told her. “Suit please.” I extended my hand.

“What?! Here?” She asked, nervous. I eyed her up and down and smiled big. Laughing she rolled her eyes.

“Who else?” I asked.

“I want to stay,” the nurse said. I gave her my best smile. I turned to Emi. She nodded instead of speaking. Her hair was tied back in a ponytail for once, showing her face. She really was pretty.

“I...I’m going,” Takashi admitted. “I don’t know where my dad is. But my mom is going so...”

I cursed. I’d hoped his mom would stay. I kind of forgot he had a dad. “We will keep an eye out for him,” I said. The first helicopter was soon heard overhead.

It became a madhouse after that. Helicopter after helicopter flew in. All the while I kept guard at the gate killing the zombies attracted to the noise. Some of the military joined but ended up just watching us kill the zombies.

It was near dusk by the time the last group was flown out. It was me, Saeko, Saya, Shizuoka, Emi, and Khota left. My Harem of the Dead, plus a random sidekick dude.

The military guys triple checked with us that we were fine staying. We waved them off. As they lifted off the ground my quest was completed.
