Stray Chapter 105: Absurdity is the standard skill of the protagonist
Dushima Yuko, Komuro Takao and the others did not leave in the end, but after some discussion, they also found reasons for themselves to decide to stay.
Although they didn't go with the group of people to deal with the dead bodies inside the department store, do a lot of cleaning and so on.
But all the dead zombies that were just attracted by the sound were cleaned up, and then they spent a lot of time trying to find a way to drive or push some moving vehicles on the road outside— —
Therefore, using these lost cars as roadblocks, block the main roads in four directions around the intersection.
Since zombies can't see or think, so they can't turn, and naturally they can't climb consciously.
Even if there is a ladder in front of them, they can't do the simple action of alternating hands and feet to climb the ladder, because the zombie's hand-eye coordination is not low, but not at all.
Low-functioning brains, necrotic muscle tissue, all determine that their agility is extremely poor, whether it is jumping from one place to another, or simply going up and down in place, or standing still. Balance is an extremely difficult challenge for these walking dead.
If there are huge numbers of corpses flooding in, then a few cars will definitely not be able to stop them, and the way of stacking people's ladders one after the other can solve all difficulties. However, when it is simply hindering the actions of the few zombies, it is completely enough.
The group felt that this was not safe, and by the way, they blocked the first floor exits of some buildings adjacent to the department store in the circle, including the doors and windows.
Because there are obviously some dead zombies moving in there, if you don't do this, you can't tell when they may break out of the door or out of the window.
And as long as a car is pushed to block the door or window, this risk can be greatly reduced. Even if the strength of a dead zombie is more than twice that of an ordinary person, it is impossible to overthrow a several-ton vehicle.
No matter how many dead zombies there are inside the building, they are all the same, and they don't know how to combine skills, so it's impossible to superimpose their power on one individual. And the number of zombies that can appear at the door or window at the same time and exert force is always limited——
Even if they do have some level of intelligence to do such a thing, space and terrain limit their output.
As for the dead zombies that fell from the windows on the second floor, this situation cannot be said to be non-existent, but the number must be extremely rare, and it is necessary to remove them directly to the ground, or to break their hands and feet. Restricted equal probability with extremely high possibility.
As a result, the area near the department store can no longer form a threatening corpse tide, and it becomes quite safe...
And after doing all this, everyone felt exhausted, and the time unknowingly came from the morning to two or three o'clock in the afternoon.
They returned to the department store and chose a temporary break to replenish their stamina and adjust their state. However, compared to tiredness, psychological security is more valuable.
Because of my fatigue, I know that I have not missed any place, and I have built a prototype of the initial base of a safe apocalyptic human settlement. At least sit down to rest, eat, or find a place to sleep. time, you can feel a lot more at ease.
I wouldn't say it was like last night, I woke up a few times a night, always suspecting that when I was sleeping, a dead zombie walked into my room and approached my bed.
And it's either that the door is not closed, or that he **** up his ears nervously and listens carefully to the voice of the companion next door. If he hears it, he is worried that the other party's voice is so loud that it will attract zombies, and if he doesn't hear it, he will Can't help but be suspicious...
Anyway, I didn't rest well at all.
Of course, this does not eliminate the most fundamental problem, especially after one's free time, some people will naturally think wildly, ask questions, and feel that this approach is not good-
……
……
"Speaking of which, is this really good?"
The person who spoke was Miyamoto Rei. The girl had a tired look on her face, and there was a very obvious trace of anxiety in the depths of her eyes, which could not be concealed nor intended to be concealed.
Holding a can of heated coffee in both hands, she sat with her companions on the stairs leading to the second floor in the lobby on the first floor.
"Are we really going to... stay here? Is this what it will be like next? Didn't we say we're going to go to everyone's house to see if our family members are safe first, then..."
"Yeah, we agreed...but that's because we thought it too easy."
Takayuki Komuro, who was sitting on the bottom stairs, smiled wryly, also looking depressed.
"If all goes well, why are we here now? Instead of going back to our respective homes, is this what we think?"
"But..." Miyamoto Rei opened her mouth.
"Nothing but, we must admit, we were really wishful thinking. The whole world is like this, and nowhere is immune."
Saya Gaocheng said indifferently, stretched out a slender and fair index finger and pushed the glasses, "Like last night, we thought the opposite side was safe, and the people on the opposite side also thought our side was safe. ..."
Everyone suddenly changed color slightly, and their expressions were quite ugly.
But even at that time, one of the reasons for the heavy traffic jam was because the people on the other side also wanted to escape and felt that this was a safe area.
As a result, people on both sides couldn't wait to flee to the opposite side and stay away from danger. The large forces of the two sides met in the middle of the bridge, blocking the road forcibly, and no one could let them go.
In the end, I don't know how many people have survived the first wave of shock without warning, but they were stunned because they made a wrong judgment, which led to the worthless ruin of themselves again.
Even their group almost fell into the same fate, and it's really only luck that they survived. Thinking about it now, it's really naive and ridiculous, obviously that... that person has already made it clear that their behavior is simply to die.
However, no one at the time was willing to admit it and refused to believe that statement.
They are just holding on to luck, feeling that they can ignore all the risks, successfully cross the river and return to the civilized world of normal human beings.
——Then, I was slapped hard by reality.
"...that's how the world is right now, not just us, but our families as well. You may find it cold to say this, but denying reality doesn't mean anything to us or our families. help."
Takajo Saya hugged his knees, and said this with a hint of deep helplessness in the calm.
"Bury your head in the haystack, thinking it's safe if you can't see your eyes... We've tried that kind of bitter fruit before, haven't we?" Yako Toshishima said softly, but he was also echoing Saya Gaocheng's statement. .
"Now the network communication has been paralyzed, just like traffic and order, we have no way to contact our family for the time being..."
Saya Gaocheng seems to be muttering to himself, and seems to be sorting out his own thoughts——
"And without saying anything else, we're all thinking in the right direction, assuming your family is safe now, will they definitely stay at home? Waiting for us to go to a fixed place Looking for them?"
Miyamoto Rei pursed her lips tightly.
"Think about it and know that it's impossible. You all take great risks to pass by. Even if you don't die on the way, you probably won't be able to find them..." Gaocheng Saya glanced at her. He continued indifferently, "Maybe they are even looking for you."
"Then...then what should we do? Did we just give up?" Miyamoto Rei was a little excited.
"It's not that we just gave up, but we need a more secure plan, it's better than just dying on the road? In that case, there's really no hope at all, and we have to live a good life first. It's only possible after coming down."
Takashima Saya sighed.
"This is the safest place we can find at the moment. Although there is something wrong with that... that person, at least he has no malice and will not harm human beings for no reason. From our experience yesterday, there are still those people's It should be... is certain..."
Speaking of the end, the girl's voice is getting smaller and smaller, and it seems that she is seriously lacking in confidence.
After all, it is not difficult to find reasons to explain, to try to rationalize a thing and become the "truth" that you are willing to accept and believe, but to find reasons to find reasons, you should be afraid of it.
The eerie, terrifying, **** and cruel scene in the morning is still vivid in their minds, deeply engraved on their souls.
“…”
“…”
For a while, everyone was strangely silent, with complicated eyes and no sound.
They have all seen the strange and terrifying things about that person, and even suspected that the other person is not human at all, and they corresponded to many clues before... Logically speaking, they should have been afraid and fearful, and immediately went far away. Run away, not even close to being killed.
However, this is the apocalypse of zombies, they have nowhere to run, and in such a bad world, a monster who has no malice towards himself, can communicate well, and can understand human beings——
The power it represents is no longer a pure threat, but may also be transformed into a sense of safety and security.
Anyway, no matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than those zombies who have no humanity and only instinctively eat people, right? It can be said that under desperation, they have some mentality of breaking the pot.
It is probably because of this that other people choose to stay, rather than escape to face the apocalypse outside and the endless walking dead, because the latter is really no way for people to live.
"You say, that...that student Xia Ran, is he really human?" Hirano Toda hesitated, but he couldn't help but say so, but he was not afraid at all, so he was very He turned his head cautiously and looked upstairs.
After all, I don't know who made the rules. As long as they discuss other people's affairs behind their backs, that person will always appear behind the discussant for no reason.
Several other people did the same. They glanced at each other, and turned their heads subconsciously to look at the second floor on the stairs behind them. They were worried that the person would come down unwittingly and stood on the steps behind them.
"Well, there's no need to think about this kind of thing at all, I've said it before-"
After confirming that such a terrible thing did not happen, Saya Takajo gritted his teeth.
"He can hit the power of a sniper rifle with an ordinary bow and arrow, and the speed of his skills is not normal at all, plus you can't see it? It's impossible for a normal person's arm to split into that Biological weapon! How could he be human, maybe even his name is fake..."
"Hey, how do you clean people out of thin air?"
At this time, Xia Ran's dissatisfied voice came.
Everyone immediately froze and turned their heads subconsciously, only to see that the object of their discussion had appeared at the bottom of the stairs and stood there at some point.
