On the way to the infirmary, Chen Hai and Asuna walked side by side.
Saeko Busujima, Rei Miyamoto, and Saya Takagi followed behind.
They stared at the backs of the two in front, each lost in her own thoughts.
Too many things had happened today.
Thugs broke into the school, killing people;
The dead suddenly revived, becoming terrifying Zombies;
The peaceful campus completely collapsed, with only the three of them and the teacher in the infirmary remaining as survivors.
Saeko Busujima believed that some people had escaped.
After all, no matter how chaotic the situation, Corpses couldn't possibly surround the entire school; there must be loopholes.
"Magic…"
Unlike Saeko Busujima, Rei Miyamoto had not forgotten everything she had just seen.
The flames Chen Hai released seemed to have a tracking function, instantly killing all the Corpses active inside and outside the school building.
Whether it was the magic she had just thought of, or special superpowers, it all proved that Chen Hai was no ordinary person.
So, to survive in this world, she had to find someone reliable to depend on.
Rei Miyamoto was not confident enough to survive alone in a world full of Corpses.
There was nothing shameful about siding with the strong.
And his face was her type… she slapped her cheeks.
Two slaps.
Rei Miyamoto, who had come to her senses, looked at her companion beside her.
"Takagi-san, has the news not yet announced when rescue will be launched?"
In such a strange situation, why hadn't the city's emergency services acted?
Saya Takagi looked at her phone again.
There was indeed still a signal.
However, it was unstable, occasionally disconnecting.
"The news has stopped looping; now it's just static… It seems there's also a problem with the TV station, so I think we're on our own, or…"
Mid-sentence, Saya Takagi's gaze once again fell on Chen Hai.
For Chen Hai, the Corpses in this world were like ants by the roadside; he could instantly kill them with a casual release of flames.
If it were anyone else, they probably couldn't even get out of the school building.
"What we need to consider now is how to survive."
The girls had no intention of giving up.
At this moment, with life completely twisted, they had to find a new way out.
Saeko Busujima, walking alongside the two, was thinking about something else.
Where did Chen Hai, who possessed such immense power, come from?
Why did he appear in the back mountains?
And what was his purpose in coming here?
"Saeko-senpai, Saeko-senpai."
"Hm? What is it?"
"How did you meet Chen Hai-san and Asuna-san?"
Rei Miyamoto suddenly asked.
Recalling her previous experience, Saeko Busujima briefly described it.
Going to the back mountains, meeting the two, resolving the misunderstanding, and finally asking for help.
"So that's how it was. Thanks to Saeko-senpai!"
"No, it's not me you should thank, but Chen Hai-san and the others."
Saeko Busujima did not have the power to save everyone.
She was already doing her best just to protect herself and survive.
And in front—
Chen Hai heard Asuna's whisper beside him.
"It's very different from the buildings in Orario… These lights, I don't see any magic stone structures."
"These are all modern technology. All lighting equipment is powered by electricity, and this electricity can be seen as 'magic stones'."
"It feels like a very wondrous world, but Chen Hai-san doesn't seem surprised at all. Are you perhaps very familiar with these things?"
"Yes, I used to live in this kind of plane."
"Do you mean a 'Dungeon-linked plane'?"
Asuna only knew Adventurers and didn't understand what a Transmigrator was, so she analyzed it from her own perspective.
Chen Hai went along with it and nodded.
"You could say that."
"I see… If we brought things from this world to Orario, would it cause a huge change?"
"That's for sure."
Although Orario had magic and gods, its background was ultimately 'medieval'.
The transfer of modern technology would inevitably trigger an industrial revolution.
For example—
Adventurers would no longer fight monsters with magic, but with Barretts… As the saying goes, a gun is fast beyond seven steps, and both accurate and fast within seven steps.
But these were all matters for later.
After locating Shizuka Marikawa by instantly killing Corpses with flames, Chen Hai quickly arrived at his destination.
"Teacher Marikawa should be inside."
Rei Miyamoto looked at the sign on the infirmary door, just about to knock.
"Eek!!"
The door suddenly opened, and Shizuka Marikawa, wrapped in thick medical bandages, holding a crutch for a fracture, waved it wildly with her eyes tightly shut.
"Take that! Take that!!"
"…"
The speechless Asuna easily dodged the crutch attack, grabbed Shizuka Marikawa's right hand, and twisted it behind her back.
"Ungh!"
Shizuka Marikawa, making a strange sound, winced in pain and calmed down.
Seeing this, Rei Miyamoto quickly stepped forward to speak.
"Teacher! Teacher Marikawa! It's us!"
"Eh? Have those scary people all disappeared?"
"Yes, they've been gone for a long time. Or rather, why didn't Teacher see them…"
Shizuka Marikawa, wrapped like a mummy from head to toe, began to explain.
"Before, I was hiding in the small room wrapping bandages. This way, I could avoid being bitten by those people. I wrapped at least six layers! How about that!"
"You can't move properly like that."
Rei Miyamoto looked at the confident Shizuka Marikawa and bluntly retorted.
Saya Takagi on one side grabbed one of the multiple layers of bandages.
"I say, Teacher, let's take this bandage off first."
"Wait, Takagi-san, that one is…"
Before Shizuka Marikawa could finish, Saya Takagi pulled with force, and all the bandages wrapped around the naturally clumsy teacher loosened and slipped off.
And beneath the bandages, there were no extra clothes.
Chen Hai seemed to hear a 'poiyo' sound, as the massive fruits suddenly bounced out.
ABCDEFJ, the visual shock of J was undeniable.
"Ah!"
Shizuka Marikawa, covering herself, quickly squatted on the ground.
"Why did it all come off with one pull!"
Saya Takagi shouted, her face red.
"So I could get away quickly!"
"Then what about the clothes underneath?"
"It was too hot, so I didn't wear any."
"…"
Saya was speechless.
Asuna, who had released Shizuka Marikawa, witnessed everything, then noticed Chen Hai's gaze.
"Bigger… is better?"
"Things that carry dreams are always better bigger, provided they are within a reasonable range, of course."
In response to Asuna's question, Chen Hai casually brushed it off for now…
