Chapter 24 Sniping
Roy's indifferent attitude convinced Saeko Busujima that this horrific disaster had nothing to do with the strange boy in front of her.
Saeko Busujima asked the question that concerned her most, "What are you doing at the military base?"
Boom!Boom!Boom!
Roy slammed on the gas, sending the truck crashing into the zombies on the road, and answered truthfully, "I need to borrow their weapons to clear out these zombies."
Upon hearing this, Roy caught a glimpse of a blush creeping across Saeko Busujima's beautiful face out of the corner of his eye.
She was excited!
Based on Roy's previous performance in killing zombies, Saeko Busujima had already vaguely guessed his purpose when he suggested going to the military base.
After hesitating for a moment, Saeko Busujima slowly said, "Actually, there's something that's been bothering me..."
As Saeko Busujima began to recount her past, Roy in the driver's seat smirked. "Girl, I have no interest in your story. Take me to the military base, and our time together will be over."
Saeko Busujima seemed to have found a kindred spirit, and began to recount her troubles to herself.
When Saeko Busujima was in junior high school, she was assaulted by a pervert on her way home. She deliberately let the pervert get close to her and then severely injured him with a wooden sword, breaking his leg and shoulder blade.
In reality, it was excessive self-defense.
However, considering that a junior high school girl was fighting against a perverted groper, the police did not pursue Saeko Busujima's responsibility.
From that moment on, Saeko Busujima realized that she had strong violent tendencies, and that she felt extremely happy and excited when she hit that perverted stalker. She felt that she harbored an unforgivable dark side within herself and was unworthy of having a girlish heart.
How could Roy not know about her past? He had already seen through it. When Saeko Busujima and Takashi Komuro parted ways, she seemed to be going through a life-or-death separation, but in reality, she was feeling joy.
Because she is about to participate in a killing!
"What should I do?" Saeko Busujima's face was conflicted. At this moment, she looked like a fragile young girl. When she saw Roy going on a rampage through the zombie horde, the excitement in her heart was indescribable.
She thought she had found someone similar to herself, which is why Saeko Busujima opened up about her feelings.
"Don't ask me, I don't know, it's none of my business!" Roy pouted. What's wrong? Does he have to hold the other person tightly and comfort them with gentle words?
Saeko Busujima looked somber.
After a few minutes of silence, Roy sighed. He realized he had been too kind. "Following your nature isn't a bad thing. Like me, I sometimes do things that seem crazy to others."
Roy wore a manic smile.
Saeko Busujima's eyes, which had previously lost their color, grew brighter and brighter, as if she had found a new purpose in life.
"arrive!"
Looking up, at the end of the wide road, a dilapidated base gate came into view, as if it had been the site of a fierce battle, surrounded by towering walls.
The man-made fence blocking the gate is easily climbed over by adults, but it's no problem stopping zombies.
The two jumped off the truck.
Seeing the empty military base ahead, Roy felt that his guess was correct. With the military strength of this base, even 100,000 zombies might not be able to break through it. Only a virus that spreads through the air or water could silently destroy a base.
"Something's not right, it's too quiet."
Roy frowned. Could it be that America's army had already withdrawn, or had been completely wiped out?
"Those are human corpses, aren't they?" Saeko Busujima pointed to the pile of corpses beside the road.
Roy followed her gaze and initially thought they were zombies, but upon closer inspection, he found that some of the corpses did not show signs of zombification; they were gunshot wounds!
Suddenly, a strong sense of danger washed over him. Roy abruptly looked up at a tall tower within the military base, about six hundred meters away.
Saeko Busujima followed Roy's gaze and leaned slightly forward; it was this action that saved her.
Bang!
Suddenly, Roy heard a faint sound. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a small hole in the ground two meters behind Saeko Busujima, with sand floating in the air.
Someone is sniping at them, and they have silencers!
Ride with the wind!
Roy's expression changed, and without hesitation, he activated the special effect of the Wind Chaser Boots, breaking through to SSS-level agility. His legs were wrapped in a whirlwind, and he picked up Saeko Busujima, rushing to the blind spot of the left wall to hide.
Bang!
As Roy rolled over, he casually threw a rock, smashing the security camera on the wall.
At that moment, on the high tower of the base, a blond-haired, blue-eyed youth saw the boy quickly fleeing to a blind spot through a sniper scope, and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
"That kid's pretty quick."
The blond youth remarked in surprise, "That kind of movement doesn't seem like that of an untrained kid."
The tall girl next to him looked older, probably his older sister or something, so he wanted to shoot her and keep the kid around for a while longer, but he misjudged her.
"Werlin, stop playing around. You're just attracting those zombies, which will only cause more trouble." A rough male voice came through the radio.
"Okay~"
The blond youth answered listlessly.
The sudden outbreak of zombies turned most of the soldiers in the base into zombies, leaving only about ten people. However, relying on their powerful firepower, they still managed to clear out all the zombies in the base.
The voice coming through the radio belonged to Lieutenant Alton, the highest-ranking officer currently in the base.
They were tasked with protecting an elderly professor who was conducting fieldwork in an island nation, but he felt it was pointless.
Today is his shift, Warin Jarvis. He loves to toy with the islanders who bring their families to the base, and use sniper shots to make things difficult for the forensic doctors.
Anyway, no one will hold him accountable.
In this chaotic and disorderly world, they reveal their dark side in its entirety.
……
Beneath the towering walls.
Roy placed Saeko Busujima on the ground. A bullet had pierced a small hole in her chest, and blood gushed out like a fountain. Her face was visibly pale.
The sniper was clearly aiming for her heart, but at the crucial moment, he shifted his body slightly to the side.
Saeko Busujima murmured, "Am I going to die?"
Do you think it's possible?
Roy replied, took out two bottles of low-level life potions, and fed them to Saeko Busujima. It was actually a good thing that the bullet had pierced her chest; otherwise, without the necessary tools, it would have been impossible to remove the bullet.
The remaining issue is simply stopping the bleeding.
A burst of emerald green light emanated from Saeko Busujima's body, restoring a rosy hue to her pale face. Her mental state improved considerably, and she looked at Roy with a surprised expression.
Roy said, "I will avenge you."
Saeko Busujima drifted off to sleep, a satisfied smile playing on her lips. The killing spree she hadn't participated in would be carried out by Roy in her place.
