"Come to my house. I have a basement and storage room, so at least for the time being, you don't have to worry about supplies."
Although Eriri has never experienced a zombie apocalypse, these are all disasters, and the coping methods are actually similar to those for earthquakes. First, you need to find a safe environment, and then you need to ensure the supply of materials.
"I need to go back to find my sister first." The Black Cat rejected Eriri's suggestion and ran out without paying attention to the others' opinions.
She was so worried about her younger sister, fearing that they would be hurt without her by her side.
Regardless of whether the zombie news is true or false, there will be huge social unrest afterward. Right now, she needs to go to her sister's school immediately and bring them home.
The Black Cat's Chuunibyou) kicked in, and he believed that he had awakened a power at this moment, which was specifically for dealing with this kind of thing.
Before Sagiri could stop the Black Cat, it had already disappeared. Black Cat couldn't help but exclaim, "This guy can run so fast?!"
At this moment Izumi Masamune said, "Sister, pack some clothes and we'll go to your friend's house."
The incident was too sudden, and only he and his sister were left in the Izumi family. Izumi Masamune knew that he and his sister were definitely not able to resist zombies, so it was best to join forces with others.
Now that Eriri says her house has a basement and storage room, it naturally becomes the first choice.
Sagiri scratched the red marks on her arm from the rope and said helplessly, "Fine."
Although she wanted to lie flat, and she had a vague feeling that these zombies couldn't harm her, it was her brother's suggestion, so Sagiri thought about it and listened.
Eriri nodded and said, "I'll have the housekeeper drive over to pick us up."
Sagiri opened her wardrobe, packed some clothes, her computer and graphics tablet, along with a stack of drawing paper and a few pens.
She has the ability to work on paper even without a computer.
As for the other things, she decided not to pack them for the time being. Anyway, no one was home, and zombies wouldn't bother them. She could come back when it was safer.
Izumi Masamune packed a large amount of food with a long shelf life, seasonings, and other similar items, but only took one set of clothes to change into.
A moment later, Eriri returned with a grim expression.
"The housekeeper said that there are traffic jams everywhere and a large number of people are fleeing central Tokyo, so it will take him a long time to get here."
Sagiri: "What if your butler gets attacked by zombies on the way and can't get here?"
Eriri shook her head and said, "I don't know either."
"Tell your butler not to come. Let's go over there. Before the zombies appear on a large scale, we'd better take action first, rather than sit and wait to die," Izumi Masamune said, stepping forward.
Eriri thought about it and realized that this approach might be better.
With a large-scale exodus from central Tokyo, traffic congestion is unlikely to improve anytime soon. Rather than waiting here, it's better to take action on your own.
Having agreed to Izumi Masamune's suggestion, Eriri told her butler not to come pick her up, but instead to go to the mall to buy more supplies.
When the three of them came outside, they saw many people leaving with large and small bags. Some people did not believe the news, or believed that the country could handle these problems, so they did not leave, but instead looked coldly at the evacuees outside the window.
Sagiri wanted to complain that if it were the old her, seeing so many people outside would have scared her so much that she wouldn't have dared to leave the house. But now, she was just a little uncomfortable.
Izumi Masamune asked worriedly, "Sagiri, are you alright?"
This was the first time Sagiri had gone out in a long time. Izumi Masamune was so anxious about the news of the zombies that he forgot about Sagiri's social anxiety for a moment.
Sagiri smiled and said, "It's nothing."
Her brother and Mr. Kashiwagi protected her, and although she felt a little uncomfortable, it wasn't a big problem.
Of course, if she could, she would still prefer to lie down and play video games at home.
Her home wasn't far from Eriri's home; otherwise, Eriri wouldn't have been able to travel from her home to the prefecture where Sagiri's family lived so early in the morning.
Along the way, we encountered several groups of people who wanted to cause trouble. Some people planned to survive longer in the apocalypse, so they went to collect supplies. Others felt that since it was the end of the world, they no longer planned to abide by the law and wanted to do some exciting things before the world became even more messed up.
For example, the thugs who tried to force themselves on Sagiri. Eriri and Sagiri are rare beauties. If they could enjoy such beauties before they died, they would be willing.
This kind of thing happens all the time.
Even without the appearance of zombies, there are still quite a few violent incidents after the earthquake, which is a characteristic of island nations.
But these thugs made a mistake by choosing the wrong people.
Izumi Masamune, a high school student, was no match for the thugs, but Sagiri had superpowers. With a wave of her paintbrush on the paper, the thugs blocking their way were instantly bound like shrimp with ropes.
Izumi Masamune was astonished. He had been prepared to fight to the death, but his sister simply waved her hand, and all the villains were tied up.
But now is not the time to ask that question. After dealing with the thugs, the three of them rushed to Eriri's house without stopping.
Finally, after many hardships (for Sagiri), Eriri brought the two of them to her home.
It's a high-end residence with walls, which can keep most zombies out.
Sagiri and Masamune were both stunned by the magnificent residence.
"So you're a rich woman!" Sagiri exclaimed.
Izumi Masamune: "..."
No wonder she said it had a basement and storage room; a family with a house like that could make anything.
At this moment, Eriri's mother was organizing the servants to seal the gaps in her iron gate. If it weren't for the time constraints, she would have even wanted to replace it with a more secure door.
"Eriri!"
The mother saw her daughter returning from afar and quickly waved.
"Who are these two...?"
"They are my friends. By the way, where's Dad?" Eriri replied, then asked.
Even now, she still can't get through to her father on the phone, so she's very worried.
The mother shook her head with a worried look and said, "Ever since the zombie rumors started circulating online, we haven't been able to get through to your father on the phone."
"What happened? Did something happen to Dad?"
Eriri exclaimed in shock.
As a diplomat, my father's phone is always on and with him, so how could it have gone on for so long without anyone answering?
Thinking of this, Eriri's mood sank.
Just as she was trying to do something for her father, a maid who was boarding up the iron gate suddenly turned ashen, her eyes turned completely black, and she began to speak incoherently.
This sight startled everyone present, and even Eriri's face turned pale instantly.
Before even seeing the zombies, she still clung to a sliver of hope that the island nation could resolve this matter quickly, but now she watched helplessly as her servant transformed from a normal person into a zombie.
"Someone, tie her up! Hurry up! Do you want her to bite you?" Eriri's mother quickly gave the order.
But faced with something they'd only ever seen in movies, no one dared to approach it, fearing that if they got bitten, they'd end up like that too.
Even two of the servants, upon seeing their colleague in this state, ran away in a panic.
The other servants, unable to bear the fear, ignored Eriri's mother's orders and scattered.
Only the Izumi siblings and the Sawamura mother and daughter remained at the scene.
Seeing that all her subordinates had run away, Eriri's mother was also quite flustered and didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.
At that moment, a rope appeared out of thin air and bound the servant who was still undergoing the transformation.
Eriri's mother looked bewildered. How did the rope appear on its own and automatically tie up the zombie? What happened?
Eriri said, "This is my friend's power; she can control the rope."
When Eriri's mother realized that this was a superpower, her eyes widened in amazement. Having lived for so long, this was the first time she had ever seen a superpower, and it almost made this adult question her existence.
"Brother, throw this zombie outside and then close the door."
Compared to the sense of security the wall gave her, this beautiful iron gate offered little sense of security. If this bound zombie were placed outside, no one would dare approach this place.
Izumi Masamune nodded.
Eriri's mother then invited everyone inside to talk.
Even though this place is so far from the center of Tokyo, and even further from the scene of the incident, zombies still appeared here. Eriri's mother was really worried. Fortunately, a superpowered person appeared, which gave her some confidence.
On the other side.
When Black Cat returned to the county town, he stared in disbelief at the chaos on the street. In this small county town, countless cars were stuck on the road, and many of them were even wrecked and smoking.
The scene was exactly like those apocalyptic movies she had seen.
The chaotic scene in the county put the Black Cat on edge. He ran into one of the convenience stores, grabbed a fruit knife at random, and then rushed toward his sister's school.
However, before she could rush to her sister's school, she encountered a friend.
Aragaki Ayase
She met this friend through Xiaotongtong, and the two of them only kept brief correspondence afterward. It was mainly Black Cat who would chat with her whenever he had nothing to do.
To be honest, in this small group of people, she initially had a pretty good impression of Kōsaka Kyōsuke. Of course, not in the way of lovers, but more like friends. Because Black Cat always felt that it would be very strange if she liked Kōsaka Kyōsuke, and she also felt disgusted by it. So Black Cat only Kōsaka Kyōsuke as a friend.
After discovering Kirino and Kōsaka Kyōsuke's suspicious relationship, she decided to cut off all contact with them.
They are real siblings, how can they like each other?
Regardless, the Black Cat felt it couldn't accept it, so it chose to gradually distance itself from them.
Of course, Black Cat also felt that there was something wrong with her sexual orientation. She found that she didn't like boys at all, but preferred to be with girls, such as Aragaki Ayase in front of her, who perfectly matched her aesthetic.
That's why she keeps looking for trouble.
"Aragaki Ayase is like Yui Aragaki, a man's white moonlight, a little angel."
Every time the Black Cat saw her, this sentence would come to mind, even though she didn't know who Yui Aragaki was.
"Ayase, what's wrong?"
At this moment, Ayase's clothes were torn to varying degrees, revealing her fair skin underneath. The Black Cat quickly stepped forward and asked her what was wrong.
"Liuli..."
Upon seeing someone she knew, Aragaki Ayase instantly burst into tears, her dry, numb eyes turning bright red in a flash.
"My parents are surrounded by zombies in our house. I ran away to find the police, but they're not here... Waaah, what should I do, Ruri..."
The Black Cat frowned. Although she really wanted to help Ayase rescue her parents and win her favor, her younger sister hadn't been rescued yet.
"I'll go save my sister first. If you come with me, I'll help you save our parents after we rescue her."
Since they are trapped at home, it means there is no immediate danger. If they have food reserves, they can even hide for several days until the zombies disperse on their own. Right now, it is her younger sister who is in more danger, since there are many people at the school.
After thinking about it, Ayase could only nod in agreement.
Because along the way, apart from some zombies shaking their heads, there wasn't a single living person in sight.
The Black Cat was the first living person she encountered.
The two quickly headed to the school where Hinata and Akira were.
The good news is that no zombies have appeared in the school; the bad news is that the teachers have been kidnapped by criminals.
A group of criminals broke into the elementary school and used the school's facilities to create a relatively enclosed and safe space. The teachers and students were inside, their hands tied behind their backs. In addition, the criminals had weapons, so they dared not resist.
Aragaki Ayase followed the Black Cat and hid under one of the windows, observing the situation inside. She asked, "What do we do? The police aren't here, and calling the police won't help."
Ayase's tone was filled with despair; she probably felt that the world was beyond saving, which was why she was so desperate.
"Fine."
The Black Cat shook its head.
Then he looked at the fruit knife in his hand. He had picked it up to protect himself, and now it had come in handy.
"Call."
The Black Cat took a deep breath, raised the tip of the knife, and pointed it at its heart.
Aragaki Ayase's eyes widened in shock as she tried to stop the Black Cat.
Puff!
The dull thud and the splattered blood startled Ayase so much that her eyes glazed over, and she almost screamed on the spot.
"Damage Transfer!"
The Black Cat endured the pain and spoke in a hoarse voice.
The next moment, the wound on the Black Cat's chest disappeared instantly. At the same time, inside the school, one of the thugs who was monitoring many students suffered a ruptured heart and gushed out a large amount of blood, staining his clothes red.
The thugs inside were momentarily panicked and looked around, trying to figure out how their colleague had been injured.
However, in order to give them no chance to react, the Black Cat stabbed himself in the heart more than ten times, transferring the wound with each stab, successfully killing all the thugs in the school.
Aragaki Ayase was so flustered by Black Cat's actions that she couldn't utter a single word. She could only silently wipe the blood splattered on her face, then stare blankly at the other person's chest, where the skin was as white as new, showing no signs of having been stabbed.
