Chapter 36 (2/2)

He said without looking.

The window of the rear seat that was Yusuke’s was stuck and couldn’t open fully. Instead, a small window was installed in the center, and it was a mechanism to slide it sideways. It was about the size of the human head.

Kudo was waiting in front of the opened small window, with a long and thin iron weapon in hand.

If you look closely it was a stake that had rag clothes wrapped up to the handle with several layer, and was trimmed by a scissors. 50 centimeters long handle portion and 30 centimeters long for the blade edge.

Yusuke took a handy stake for the time, and gazed outside again.

Sasaki got off the car and was approaching the entrance of the convenience store with a sharp-edged iron pipe in hand. After him, a beard man and a hat man followed.

Three people broke open the automatic door where electricity ceased and carefully watched the situation and stepped on the foot into the inside.

(Now… what will happen)

It was a precious battle scene of humans and zombies. To watch it was also one of the purposes of this time.

There was no figure of a zombie in the part that can be seen from the outside.

Sasaki, who had been leading the way, stopped in front of the counter.

Take one drink from the nearby shelf and threw it to the floor a little far away. A dull sound of a can filled with liquid can be heard, but there was no reaction inside the store. There seemed to be no zombies behind the display case either.

When they tried to advance further, the movement of the three people ceased.

Something hit the wall, a small noises can be heard.

It came from the toilet.

Left one person at the entrance, Sasaki and another person headed for the sound. Their appearance was hidden in the fixture, it disappeared from the sight of Yusuke.

「Isn’t it better to go to support?」

「…It’s okay, keep silent.」

Kudo answered.

The interior was quiet for a while, but a sound like hitting the wall was made and suddenly became noisy. It sounded like people was rampaging in a small s.p.a.ce.

Once again, there was a sound like something was. .h.i.t again, then became quiet again.

The president listened to the radio and checked something. Facing this,

「One of them was in the restroom. seem like they already killed it.」

「I guess.」

Kudo’s voice sounds like a whistle.

But the next moment.

「s.h.i.+t…..」

On the other side of the toilet, from the door of the backyard, a zombie wearing a clerk’s uniform appeared. From the neck to the bottom was dirty with dry blood.

The zombies distorted their faces and approached the man who remained at the entrance with their teeth bare.

「Sasaki, come back!」

The president shouted to the radio.

A beard man who was at the entrance avoided a zombie rush by rolling.

With the momentum of a zombie body, the shelves in which the items lined up are knocked down. A rack in which weekly magazines and manga lined jumped, and one side of the gla.s.s facing the road cracked shattered with a crus.h.i.+ng sound that pressed in the ear. They became scattered in the sidewalk as light grains.

Sasaki, who came back in a hurry, rescued the fallen guy.

In a far place, the zombies were also about to rose from above the rack. Another zombie was appearing from the door in the back.

Yusuke noticed the surrounding air changed. Sounds was heard from around the buildings that had been resting until the previous time. It seemed that the crus.h.i.+ng sound of the earlier made zombies woke up, and it was a dangerous atmosphere.

「Dangerous.」

「I know it.」

Kudo replied shortly to Yusuke mutters.

「Break it in.」

At the president’s word.

The standing zombies was following the back of the three who ran up to the sidewalk. A van pushed into it and cut in between the zombies. Immediately afterwards, the van shook as a result of the collision of zombies.

「Tch!」

Onodera’s screamed with no voice.

A zombie flipped on the door rolled on the street rose again and hit the small window that was open. Trying to pinched its face from among the welded iron grates and trying to bit him with a brutally shaped form.

「ORA!」

Kudo’s clippers clasped in its mouth. He crushed its teeth, penetrated its throat, penetrated the skin of its cervical spine, and the tip jumped from the back of its neck. Red-black blood hung on the frame, the body of the zombie shaking. Then slowly stopped moving.

When Kudo put the foot on the door and pulled out the clippers, the zombie crawled down as it was, it fell down under the car body.

It was a spectacular sight that was pretty rough.

(……I see…….)

Yusuke let voice of admiration leaked in his heart.

Kudo’s duties was the same, but he felt the merit of the way of counter attacking with the car. The risk of exposing to zombies was minimal, you can attack the head which was the weak point of your opponent. If this was a street, against the zombie with the dash power, It would not easily gone like this.

「It’s coming from the rear!」

Onodera’s scream rose.

From the entrance of the next building, two zombies appeared on the sidewalk. Also on the opposite side across the road, they could see the empty figure.

The president clicked the tongue and operated a s.h.i.+ft lever. Sasaki’s van suddenly started. After that.

「Kudo!」

The president’s shouted.

One zombie tried to face to the truck.

When Kudo started the fight from a window and provoked it, It was tempted to came inside.

This time the zombies caught in the small window, while being dragged by the car, the right hand was stretched in. Kudo hurriedly took distance to the action that sc.r.a.ped the inside of the van. Looking at that, Yusuke moved.

He caught the arm of the zombie that acting violently from the side and dragged it in with the power. He was wearing a jacket and gloves for the bike, so he did not have to worry about getting scratched. When the body of the zombie was pressed against the van and an unprotected part from the shoulder to the neck appeared, it did not escape the gap, and Kudo’s clippers was thrusted vigorously.

The human being’s skin is torn apart and the feeling that the neck bone is broken is transmitted from the grasping arm. That finger was struggling like a spider.

(Disgusting…….)

It was a bad feeling. There was no tension to be attacked by zombies, so it wasn’t possible to cheat on adrenaline. It was an uncomfortable feeling that they were holding back b.a.s.t.a.r.ds with bare hands.

As soon as the movement became quiet, Yusuke let go. The zombie just slipped outside and fell down.

「s.h.i.+t.」

Kudo cursed a little before closed the small window.

The car line speeded up and pulled away the zombies behind, the air inside the car finally settled.

「It’s no use. Outside gathers quickly. Let’s go down the way.」

「Roger that.」

When replying lightly to Kudo’s words, he looked down at the stake that were soiled with reddish black blood, started to wipe off the cloth with a piece of cloth.

Yusuke returned the stake that was rolling near to the back and said with a comfortable tone.

「It’s a convenient method. Waiting in the car.」

Kudo stopped holding hands and was silent for a while.

He gazed toward Yusuke,

「…..Well. Things like stand straight and living like sentries, only an idiot doing that.

Kudo answered then again moving his hand.

It seemed that he was criticizing the security of the city hall.

Surely unlike barricades, you can move cars as you like. Durability was also perfect. Once you removed the seat, it was ideal as a bunker.

While the president held the steering wheel,

「They are dangerous if surrounded, but two or three of those fellows are all right. Don’t be freaked out so much.」

The gaze was facing toward Onodera who reflected in the rearview mirror.

Onodera was looking down on the direction of the zombies that had already disappeared, while holding the stake, with a lost expression of blood.
