After the battle at the school, everyone had some bloodstains on them, which was absolutely unacceptable for girls.
"The main bridge is already blocked. To prevent any unexpected situations, we absolutely cannot go there. And if the main bridge is blocked, then other bridges will definitely be in the same situation."
"Moreover, it has been raining during this period, so the river's water level has risen a bit."
After Marikawa Shizuka parked the school bus in a relatively safe spot, the students on the bus all got off and gathered to discuss their next steps.
"Then let's find a place to rest first. It's very difficult for everyone to fight at night. Luckily, there's a usable house here, so we can use it."
Marikawa Shizuka's friend's house was nearby; they could reach it quickly even on foot.
It's just that there were quite a few students here, and she wasn't sure if the house could accommodate all of them. If not, they would have to make do with other houses.
"Shizuka, is your friend's house nearby? The one named Rika?"
"Yes. She works at the airport, and because she rarely goes home, she left her key with me, asking me to air out the house when I had time. I remember it was built in the riverside area, with a convenience store nearby, and even a vehicle similar to a tank."
"A tank? No tank could accommodate so many of us at once."
There were almost twenty of them. No matter what kind of tank, it couldn't hold all of them. Besides trying their luck to find other vehicles, there was no other way.
Of course, Inaba Tsukiyo also had a way to pry open cars parked on the street, using her power to steal them, but she didn't know how many students could drive.
"Eh? Wait a minute, it seems this isn't a big problem. Didn't Rise and Wakasa Yuri also not have student IDs, yet they drove like crazy?"
"Even without a driver's license, it doesn't matter. As long as they're careful and Marikawa Shizuka tells them what to pay attention to while driving, it should be fine… probably."
"Alright, we're all tired today. Right now, I really want a hot shower."
Takagi Saya's unconscious sigh made all the women present nod in agreement. It had to be said that this was something every girl wanted to do.
Alright, since the girls already wanted it so much, the Boys had no reason to refuse. The group marched in the direction Marikawa Shizuka pointed.
They didn't encounter too many zombies along the way. Inaba Tsukiyo had the Boys in the team deal with some isolated zombies to train their zombie-killing skills.
While traveling, they taught the team survival skills, and before they knew it, they had arrived at Marikawa Shizuka's friend's house.
"Hey, hey, hey! I'm not mistaken, am I? This is a hummer! A hummer! And it's a military-modified hummer!"
As soon as they arrived outside Marikawa Shizuka's friend's house, Hirano Toda, with his sharp eyes, spotted the modified hummer parked in the yard.
Hirano Toda's words attracted the attention of all the Boys present, and all the Boys excitedly ran over.
"Wow~ Is it really a hummer? This is too cool."
Almost no Boy disliked hummers, and for a moment, even their fear lessened considerably.
These Boys used to only see hummers through videos and pictures online, and they never expected to see a real one.
"This really is… Teacher, what exactly does your friend do?"
Takagi Saya looked at the hummer in surprise. Even working at the airport, she shouldn't have a car like this.
"Eh? I don't know, but Rika is indeed very capable."
Marikawa Shizuka's answer didn't have much reference value, but everyone was already used to Marikawa Shizuka's way of speaking, so they just nodded in response.
Besides Marikawa Shizuka's house, Inaba Tsukiyo also checked the two houses next door and found that they were empty, but the doors were locked.
For such locked rooms, a single bobby pin could pick the lock. If it was an electronic lock, she would use the power of the Herrscher of Corrosion to open the door.
Three houses were enough to solve the night's accommodation problem. Plus, the walls here were very high, so the zombies couldn't climb over such high walls, allowing them to sleep soundly at night.
The walls here were basically two meters high, so there was no need to worry about zombies climbing over them and entering the houses.
However, before officially entering the houses, they had another task: to first gather the supplies needed for the night and clear out the nearby zombies.
Some of the girls stayed behind to guard the houses, with Busujima Saeko watching over them. Inaba Tsukiyo, on the other hand, took all the Boys and some of the girls, had them carry the backpacks found inside the rooms, and walked out of the house.
"Now, follow me. I will deal with most of the zombies, and you will look for isolated zombies. You can deal with them together or individually. Whether you are girls or Boys, you must take this step. Compared to those who hide in the shadows and deny reality, you who bravely face reality are undoubtedly the best."
"Now tell me, do you have confidence?"
"Yes!"
Everyone's response showed no fear, their eyes fixed on Inaba Tsukiyo with determination.
Inaba Tsukiyo nodded in satisfaction. This was the kind of team she wanted; this was how everyone should behave.
"Then now, fight with me to survive!"
