I Became a Hero in a Pandemic - Chapter 59

Chapter 59

Hero Pandemic chapter 59: Manhole

“Kazuya-san!”

“Owaa!?”

When tying my shoelace at the entrance, Kurumi suddenly came in from behind . Her immature but neatly developed breasts are squeezing against my back .

Even though we did love sex, there were many skinships, or even if there was no reason, Kurumi came to embrace me . It is nice to be liked, but of course it is a problem .

Yes, for example in front of me, Aya who is opening the door was waiting for me to get ready .

The person in question wondered what kind of face I´m doing in front of her, and when I looked up… . . I feel like she is my legal wife .

“Muu……”

The power of Kurumi-chan’s arm became stronger and my neck was tightening against it .

“Kazuya-san, can I accompany you also today?”

“Eh, today is Aya-chan and my day――――”

The power is tightened .

“――――okay, sometimes there are days like that, uh”

Aya-chan raise her eyebrows, but perhaps it might be a contempt for me . I’m sorry .

“Ah, Senpai . There is a book I want . so can I ask you to come along?”

Shizuyo-chan joins us as if it is natural and the reconnaissance this time became a large scale for some reason why . ……Although it is a small scale in terms of number of people, we will act with Aya-chan with her cheat ability and we other three with our bows to fight the zombies .

“Alright, but get ready quickly……Hey, Kurumi-chan you too”

“”Yes””

These sisters are on good terms and headed to their room .

“……Haa”

As if to express my sufferings with a sigh, Aya put her hand on my head .

“So, Senpai, what are your plans for today?”

When walking the way to the university, Shizuyo-chan suddenly said such a thing .

“You know it and came with me…………the place to go today is ahead of the bookstore, so I will postpone the bookstore for now”

“Eh? That”

Shizuyo-chan’s face tightened as she realized where we are heading to .

“Yes, I think I’ll try to approach that university as soon as possible”

The route to bypass the university was beforehand, but the route to the university was almost untouched . There might be a better way to bypass it, and it might lead to a clue as to what is in this university .

I never thought about why there were zombies . The answer was because there was a bait and I thought it was no use thinking about the moving zombies instinctively . However, there is no food in the university, and there is not a big sound which attracts the zombie either .

So, if there is something, perhaps the answer to this pandemic…… I can not imagine it though, but at least if I can investigate the cause, I might be able to keep the zombies away from the university .

You were going to go by two people only!?

Shizuyo-chan stares at me without hesitating to say that this is outside .

“Cl, close……No, that’s why they’re two . I took Aya-chan with me, because it’s better to have fewer people . You can run away or hide”

If you dare to tell a stingy statement, the two are dressed . Aya cannot make things cleverly because of her characteristics, but they no . Of course they would not say as much as I do……but if they have more than a certain amount of arm, they will not say that, that’s why they are still immature .

When I told her that, Shizuyo glares me and drew her bow quickly to the zombies who had gathered after hearing our voices .

Most of the shooting methods taught in the dojo are ignored . I haven’t even been able to do a trick called bow return .

However, the released arrow easily destroyed the zombie skull .

Holding the bow and shoot . Just a few seconds between them .

Bow return is a skill to straighten a bow and arrow that does not fly straight if you say simply, it is an essential technique to shoot from far distances . However, it is also an unnecessary technique for rapid fire . The zombies are in a position to hit without jumping straight anyway . There is no need to observe the shooting method .

Application of the foundation can be done . It was an act not to be able to do without knowing the type and Shizuyo-chan showed me her current ability only by one shot . Of course, Kurumi-chan who sees it naturally might have reached that level, too . Growing talents . ……Yes, it may be a big environment to unleash their talents . Of course, there is a certain amount of talent .

“……My defeat . I’m sorry, I correct it right now . From now on I will invite the two of you together”

When raising my hands to show surrender, I draw the arrows out from the head of the collapsed zombies and count . When I turn to look at the girls, Kurumi and Shizuyo grasp each other hands happily .

“Hurry, don’t be so happy”

We walk on the main street in the order of Aya-chan in the lead and Kurumi-chan and Shizuyo-chan in the middle .

Speaking of the main street the stalled cars are parked and there is no end of the traffic jams……there are few cars parked on the street here . As if the people had escaped from here .

However, the fact that the cars stopped means that the prospect is good, so we could see the hell at once from a distance .

“What”

Shizuyo murmured quietly .

That the only thing that can be said . It seems that the zombie crowd is too large as if one big individual is wriggles .

It seems impossible to pass through here .

“Kazuya-san, here……can’t pass?”

Although we were keenly focused on the front, Kurumi-chan seemed to have looked around neatly, pointing to a big factory adjacent to the university, its a back door .

The back door is wide enough to allow a large vehicle to pass through and the retractable wire mesh fence plays a part in the doors .

“……It’s useless . I’m not going to break this padlock”

The chain is also quite large, it will not break if there is no dedicated tool . It’s also noisy to break this thing .

“This is a real impossibility……even from the top……is it tough?”

The barbed wire is clinging around . Because it is the worst wire mesh fence, it is only necessary to cut the wire mesh, but how do they have such a door that cannot prevent zombies from coming in and out?

In the unlikely event it will be dangerous if you are attacked by a zombie in the unlikely event of escaping, there is a danger that you will be caught by zombies if it opens wide .

“Uuh……after all, somehow that door……hmm?”

When I turned around looking back, there was Aya-chan with some key .

“What’s this?”

Aya points to the management room next to the door . And pointing at the paddle as well as the padlock .

“――――Genius?”

In other words, Aya-chan has found the key of the padlock placed in the management room and brought it . I can only say she is a genius .

“Thank you, Aya-chan . I love you……!!”

It was unusual for me to tell her that, but she refused a kiss and I unlocked the padlock with the key .

Unfortunately……nothing happens and the padlock got off . Extracting the padlock from the chain and take out the chain wrapped around the wire mesh .

Revealing a punctuated lock after I removed everything . The door opened brilliantly as soon as I open that simple lock .

Since there are no zombies in the vicinity, everyone enters inside and I just put on that simple lock .

“Aya-chan, my best regards”

We form our 4-man formation based on Aya a the top as usual and we slowly move forward without feeling anything . Because it was adjacent to the university I thought that the inside situation can be seen but other than concrete walls and planted trees nothing else can be seen . If we climb up a pipe, we may see the university’s premises, but let’s postpone it for the moment .

“……Tsu”

“……Ha……Haa”

We just go straight forward so as not to make a sound . I didn’t know where the trail was going, but it was a long-delayed one because it was countless .

When I’m almost out of breath, we arrive at the place which seems to be the front entrance before long .

Unlike the back door, there was no wire mesh fence, but something similar to a school gate was blocking the way . There is no barbed wire, so it’s easy to get over it .

“What do you want to do? Senpai”

The factory is bigger than the university, the entrance of the factory has already passed the university . If zombies are gathering at the university it may be safe in the future . Since it is located behind the university, the number of zombies will be small even further . However, I didn’t think that we could come so far, so I have brought almost no foods .

We should go back once……no, if there is a large group of zombies beyond this and we are not able to go ahead, it will be useless .

“Just to be sure, let’s investigate a little further . If it is dubious for a moment, we will turn back immediately and if it does not seem to be a problem, we will come back later”

“Okay”

Things like a school gate……because it is troublesome, we climb the school gate and leave the factory .

Because we can not rest assured wherever we are, our consumption is quick . We have to be careful not to do too much .

“……There is no zombie”

We go forward while passing through the alley . As Kurumi-chan said, there was no sign of a zombie .

“That’s right . Maybe it’s just……!?”

I catches Aya’s scruff who advances ahead in a hurry .

“Wait”

When I said that, Aya-chan shook her head . Because she is invincible to the zombies, it is a natural rebellion . It’s safer for Aya to go than for me――――normally .

However, what I can see from here is not an ordinary zombie . It was a cracked zombie (,,,,,,,,,,,) .

I left Aya to Shizuyo-chan and walked softly with my bow ready .

The zombies that are visible at a distance have their skulls destroyed . But their skulls were not broken by long range weapons, but broken as if they were beaten with hard objects like a bat or crowbar .

While paying attention to places where it is likely to be a blind spot as much as possible, I keep approaching the corpse while constantly looking over the sky .

“……On the street?”

The corpse of the zombie was lying on the street . If you put your face out of the alley, you could find out who would have killed the zombie .

Carefully . Stepping forward to avoid making a sound as much as possible .

“H……Haa……”

Eventually I will come to the exit of the alley . If I look out from here, I will step into a wide road . It is an unknown area that people do not know even who is dangerous . I have no intuition .

“Haa……Ha――――Haa, ……”

My disturbed breath is straightened and my mind is never exposed .

I pointed the arrow to the right and turned right away .

There were no people on the left, of course on the right too . There is no zombie either . However, something sounds in places not far away .

I ordered the others to come slowly while I squat down and saw the corpse of the zombie . The blood isn’t dry yet . Just a short time ago someone beat this zombie and killed him .

In this world, even though it is a zombie, when I think that a person who beats a zombie into this shape is near, my spine freezes .

Zombies are dull, but humans aren’t, because there they have wisdom and possibilities of being in a group . Besides, Aya does not make sense . It is no doubt that humans are more scared than zombies in this world now .

“……Is there a human?”

Slowly approaching, Shizuyo-chan who saw the zombie whispers so .

“It looks like… . I do not want to stay here any longer . Let’s go home at once”

I stand up and walk .

“I guess I know, but I do not want to hear it as much as possible――――hoi!?”

“Senpai……!?”

Suddenly attacked by floating feeling as if the ground had disappeared, I fall down . I made a loud noise .

“Well……what is this hole……a manhole?”

Apparently there was a manhole . Fortunately I did not get injured too much, but I´m in pain as if my knee has been smashed .

“Are you all right!?

“Ah, yes . I´m alright . ……But do people live in this sewage……?”

Or are they using the sewage as a safe passageway?

Although I thought about forgetting the place unintentionally, the sound began to ring here and zombies gathered after hearing the commotion immediately .

“Right now, give priority to running away……run!”

I picked up the falling bow and run away . It seemed that there was enough bruises to run, which was a happy misfortune .
