Shido's Death

Wisteria's Death

Komuro Takashi's actions had not only infuriated Miyamoto Rei, but also made the two girls beside them shake their heads in secret.

One was Takagi Saya. Komuro Takashi's behavior had undoubtedly shattered Saya's impression of him yet again. He actually helped Wisteria lecture Miyamoto? How could someone be so stupid?!

The other was Busujima Saeko. Though she had received the upbringing of a Yamato Nadeshiko, Komuro Takashi's actions still struck her as inappropriate.

Saeko had also noticed that Wisteria was spreading some sort of cult doctrine, brainwashing the students. As for Komuro Takashi, he probably had not noticed that at all, right?

And no matter how she looked at it, Miyamoto Rei clearly had a grudge against Wisteria. Yet Komuro Takashi, who liked Miyamoto Rei, was actually helping Wisteria lecture the girl he liked.

Saeko did not want to speak ill of others, but she still felt that Komuro Takashi... really was not suited to be a good teammate, a good friend, or a good lover...

"Komuro Takashi! Let go of me!"

Miyamoto Rei was furious with Komuro now. If there was anyone she hated most, it was undoubtedly scum like Wisteria. Yet Komuro Takashi had actually stopped her from taking Wisteria out.

Society had already collapsed anyway. Killing scum like Wisteria was no big deal!

"Rei—" Komuro Takashi still wanted to persuade Miyamoto Rei not to get so worked up. He had not noticed what was wrong at all.

Screech!

After driving the school bus to a safe place, Lin Feng hit the brakes, shoved aside the obstructive Komuro Takashi, then walked over to Miyamoto Rei and took her trembling little hand.

"You must be Lin Feng. Seeing that Fujimi Academy has such a capable student as you makes me, as a teacher, deeply gratified—"

Even at a time like this, Wisteria Koichi had not forgotten to emphasize the distinction between teacher and student. Clearly, he wanted to use his identity as a teacher to make Lin Feng obey him.

However, Lin Feng paid no attention to Wisteria's words. Wisteria was Miyamoto Rei's enemy. How could Lin Feng not know that?

Lin Feng, standing against Wisteria, had become the center of attention for the entire bus.

"Who do you think you are, acting so arrogant?"

At that moment, a tall blond-haired guy immediately stood up. "Wisteria-sensei is talking to you! What kind of attitude is that?!"

Clearly, he was not really standing up for Wisteria Koichi.

What upset him was that the hot girl Yuki Kumi, whom he had admired for so long, had not given him so much as a glance after getting on the bus.

The blond-haired guy had also noticed that Kumi's gaze toward Lin Feng was filled with affection. It was practically as though her eyes were glued to him!

Consumed by jealousy, he wanted to beat Lin Feng until he was crawling on the ground in front of Kumi.

Thus, the blond-haired guy reached out with his right hand to grab Lin Feng by the collar, while swinging his sandbag-sized left fist at Lin Feng's face.

He wanted Kumi to know this: in the apocalypse, a pretty-faced pretty boy was useless. Only someone with hard fists was a real man!

"Oh? You want to fight?"

No one could have seen the boundless ruthlessness and indifference toward human life hidden behind that handsome face.

Lin Feng's eyes were clear and sharp. With practiced grappling skills, he caught the incoming wrist, twisted it outward with force, then drove a powerful kick into the blond-haired guy's stomach.

"Ahh..."

After being kicked in the stomach, the blond-haired guy immediately vomited up bile.

Watching that violent scene, Wisteria thought of more words with which to deceive the students. He clapped his hands and said in an irritating tone:

"Lin Feng-kun's skills are impressive. They truly are far too impressive!"

With so many students here, Wisteria believed Lin Feng would not dare lay a hand on him, a teacher. He pushed up his glasses and said in a self-righteous tone,

"However, using violence against a fellow student only proves my point even further... As expected, the leader should be a more reliable adult!"

"A reliable adult?" Lin Feng frowned slightly.

This villain Wisteria really had an infuriating way of speaking. Still, while he had managed to win over some students to his side, he had also made Takagi Saya and the others thoroughly sick of him.

In Highschool of the Dead, Wisteria Koichi was the eldest son of a local councilman, yet the position of family heir had been taken by his half-brother. So, on the surface, he had willingly assisted his younger brother, but in truth, he had been waiting to seize his father's weakness and destroy his family.

A guy this sinister had the potential to become the final boss no matter how one looked at him. Better to get rid of him now, so he would not cause any trouble later...

With that thought, Lin Feng picked up a baseball bat and said teasingly, "Wisteria-sensei, who was it that said the previous world had ended, and that weak people had no value in staying alive?"

Upon hearing this, Wisteria Koichi looked at Lin Feng with an ugly expression. How did he know what he had said?!

Just as Wisteria Koichi was about to argue,

Lin Feng swung the bat and smashed it directly into Wisteria's handsome face.

That blow broke Wisteria Koichi's nose, shattered his front teeth, and sent blood spraying everywhere.

His once fairly handsome face was ruined.

As Lin Feng beat him, he listed Wisteria Koichi's crimes: abusing his authority to make Miyamoto Rei repeat a year, using his status as a teacher to coerce female students, and even kicking away a student who had begged him for help during their escape.

"A scum among teachers like you—what right do you have to live!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Blow after blow landed on Wisteria Koichi's face, until that handsome face had completely warped and caved in.

Only after he had smashed that face beyond recognition, and Wisteria himself had stopped breathing, did Lin Feng put the bat away.

Although Lin Feng was currently using the body he had at eighteen, in the eyes of those students, he was no different from a god of slaughter.

The Fujiwara Cult followers in the back seats did not even have the courage to face him.

That was why violence was the best tool for solving problems.

Whether male or female, every student looked at Lin Feng with terrified eyes.

This sunny-looking man was far too ruthless when he acted!

However, Miyamoto Rei, standing beside Lin Feng, clapped in delight as she looked at Wisteria Koichi's mangled body. If Komuro Takashi had not stopped her, she would have stabbed him with a gun long ago.

Her eyes as she looked at Lin Feng were practically sparkling.

Ding! Miyamoto Rei's Affection Points +20,

Miyamoto Rei now sees you as her lover!

"Thank you, Lin Feng-kun."

Miyamoto Rei rose onto her tiptoes, preparing to give Lin Feng a light kiss on the cheek.

But Lin Feng kissed her soft pink lips instead, using his tongue to pry open her teeth.

It was Miyamoto Rei's first French kiss, and she responded to Lin Feng awkwardly. With their tongues entwined like that, she felt a little shy, but she did not dislike it.

"You really are a bad person in every sense of the word," Takagi Saya said from a nearby seat.

"Is that so?" Lin Feng released Miyamoto Rei, whose eyes were glistening with mist, and gave a neither warm nor cold smile.

Even so, Takagi Saya had to admit that she truly despised Wisteria Koichi constantly chattering on about his cult doctrine.

Dokushima Saeko watched the whole process from the side. When Lin Feng had killed someone just now, there had not been the slightest ripple in his eyes! Clearly, it was not his first time killing.

And when Busujima Saeko watched the baseball bat strike Wisteria Koichi's face, watched the flesh deform and tear apart, and heard his miserable cries,

she actually felt a twisted sense of pleasure.

So I really am a woman burdened with deep sin.

Ding! [Busujima Saeko's Affection Points +20]

Meanwhile, Komuro Takashi felt increasingly enraged, and what irritated him even more was that Miyamoto Rei had actually taken the initiative to kiss Lin Feng.

Damn it!

Lin Feng... you've already stolen Rei away from me and turned her into someone I don't recognize at all...

Ding! [Komuro Takashi's Corruption Level +20]

Komuro Takashi muttered to himself, speaking to the air. "Lin Feng, if you weren't here, everything would be fine! Hahahaha!"

"That guy has already broken down!"

Takagi Saya, who had been watching him the whole time, shook her head. Komuro Takashi was no longer the Komuro Takashi she knew. Now, there was only jealousy and resentment in his eyes.

Wisteria Koichi was dead.

The disgusting Wisteria had been eliminated, but the remaining students still felt empty inside.

Even if one Fujiwara Cult disappeared, another cult would fill the void in their hearts.

At that moment, Kumi stood up and gave Lin Feng a seductive glance. Then she said,

"Wisteria Koichi was human trash! I support Lin Feng as our leader!"

"I support Lin Feng too. Everyone was able to escape because of Feng-kun. There is no one more suitable to be our leader than him!" Miyamoto Rei's beautiful eyes sparkled with affection as she looked at Lin Feng.

"I also support Lin Feng-kun taking the position of leader." Saeko's closed eyes finally opened. Holding her bloodstained wooden sword, she stood up and lightly swept her violet gaze across the people in the back of the bus.

As a girl, Saeko had her own selfish motives as well. She wanted the leader to at least be someone she approved of.

"Sigh... Since even Saeko-senpai agrees... I suppose I support you becoming the leader too, Lin Feng."

Takagi Saya pushed up her glasses and spoke in a helpless tone. Although the young lady had always felt that Lin Feng's true nature was no better than that scum Wisteria's, he had saved her after all...

Next, Meiling, Minami, Takuo, and the people Lin Feng had protected while rushing onto the school bus all voiced their support.

Even those brainless students who had originally supported Wisteria saw the change in circumstances and shifted their stance to support Lin Feng instead.

After all, they were merely insignificant people who went with the flow.

"But he beat someone to death!"

For a moment, as Komuro Takashi watched his former childhood friend and the valiant Busujima-senpai both support Lin Feng, a dizzying sense of disbelief surged through him.

"Damn it!"

"Why?! Why is everyone supporting that guy Lin Feng? Even Busujima-senpai and Saya are doing this!"

Just as Komuro Takashi was about to step forward again and accuse Lin Feng,

the blond-haired guy, as Kumi's most devoted pursuer, immediately could not stand it anymore. Stomping his feet, he said, "Kumi, what right does that murderer have to be the leader?!"

When Kumi heard that, her seductive little face immediately darkened. This lapdog was actually refusing to obey her, so she said coldly:

"This is the result of everyone's democratic vote. Didn't you see that? Since your opinion differs from everyone else's... what a shame! Then please get off the bus!"

"W-what? Kumi, you're not joking, are you?" The outside was full of zombies. Getting off the bus meant certain death.

The blond-haired guy could not believe that the beautiful and charming Kumi would say such a thing. His eyes immediately widened.

With a wave of Kumi's hand, four male students who had originally believed in the Fujiwara Cult stood up. Having switched to Lin Feng's protection, they all wanted a chance to prove themselves.

The four men surrounded the blond-haired guy, beat him until his face was swollen and bruised, then grabbed his arms and prepared to shove him out of the bus.

"N-no, don't... I-I was wrong..." Seeing the savage zombies outside, a yellow stain slowly began spreading across the blond-haired guy's crotch.

Lin Feng wrinkled his nose in disgust, opened the bus door directly, and had them push him out.

Rules were built on the foundation of "violence."

Every nonviolent method was backed by violence.

If the leader who made the rules lacked the ability and authority to manage others, then those beneath him would act however they pleased and would not take the leader seriously at all.

"Lin Feng, I know I was wrong... I know I was wrong... Let me back on the bus... Aah!" The blond-haired guy's cries for help quickly attracted a group of zombies.

Yet the entire school bus was now filled with laughter and cheers as they celebrated the birth of their new leader!

As for the blond-haired guy who had been thrown out, whether he lived or died was as insignificant as a dead ant on the roadside.

Under everyone's watchful gaze, Lin Feng walked over to the gloomy-faced Komuro Takashi and said kindly,

"Komuro-kun, do you have any objections to me becoming the leader?"

"I... I..." Through the window, Komuro Takashi glanced at the blond-haired guy being devoured by zombies outside, and temporarily shut his mouth.

Afterward, Komuro Takashi went to sit in a seat by the window.

There was an empty seat to his left, yet no one sat there.

That was because he had been isolated by the students led by Kumi.

A hot girl like Yuki Miku was extremely skilled at leading her classmates in Japanese-style bullying.

It was also closely tied to Japanese social culture. In truth, as long as one student was somewhat different from the others, they could easily become a target of attack.
