"You talk too much nonsense. Dealing with trash like you would only dirty my shoes." Li Wei raised his leg high and then brought it down swiftly, his heel slamming hard into the bald zombie's head. The bald zombie's head was smashed directly into its chest cavity, and at the same time, its body made a crackling sound like a popcorn machine starting up.
The headless bald zombie trembled violently as if it had been electrocuted, and fell silent within seconds. The ordinary zombies that had been controlled went berserk again after their controllers were gone.
"This is a great opportunity, everyone, charge with me!" a survivor shouted boldly, waving his machete and slashing at the nearest zombie.
The chaotic battle resumed, but this time, with the bald zombie's fall, the ordinary zombies lost their commander. Without a leader, the ordinary zombies only knew how to fight on their own and were quickly slaughtered by the survivors who had formed a formation.
It has to be said that the fighting skills of Takagi Soichiro's men are absolutely top-notch, far surpassing those of ordinary yakuza. Seizing the opportunity, they launched a counterattack, cutting down all the zombies that had flooded the courtyard. Takagi Saya said to Li Wei, "Teacher, you seemed to have been infected by that zombie just now, acting strangely." Komuro Takashi whispered, "How should I put it? You seemed very sassy, just that special feeling."
Li Wei didn't know how to comment, but for people who don't know JOJO, the first impression of "I have a pose and I'm proud" in JOJO can indeed be described as flamboyant. This is because the ultimate being who created the JOJO world view is an ageless monster who loves fashion, and the poses of various characters can actually be found in fashion magazines. When the poses made by graceful female characters are reproduced by a group of muscular men, they naturally become quite "flashy".
During the "Tequila Girl" era, the situation was still relatively good. Starting from the J0Taro era, Araki completely let loose, and the male characters in the series became more and more flamboyant. One Italian male character even had the nickname "femme fatale".
"Enough talk, let's clear out the zombies nearby first. Saya, my condolences," Li Wei said.
Saya Takagi sighed, her face filled with sorrow, but her tone remained calm: "I had long been prepared for the separation of life and death in the apocalypse, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. Teacher, I need to go to the mansion to rescue my mother, please excuse me."
Li Wei said, "We'll go with you. If you go alone, you won't be able to react in time if you encounter a 'corner attack'."
"That's great! There's only so much I can do on my own. With your help, teacher, the zombies in the mansion won't be a problem anymore," Takagi Saya said excitedly.
Saya Takagi had many questions about the so-called "old humans" and "new humans" mentioned by the bald zombie, but she knew when and what was most important. Now, she had to find her mother in the mansion.
Judging from where the bald zombie broke through the mansion, her parents should be in the castle tower. She doesn't know the situation inside the castle tower, but according to the bald zombie, her mother should have been safe until the bald zombie left the castle tower. She just doesn't know what her current situation is.
"Let's go straight to the castle tower!" Saya Takagi shot down a zombie blocking their path and charged ahead alongside Kiko Busujima.
Dokushima Yako said with some surprise, "Are you so sure your mother is on the top floor? Is this some kind of telepathic connection between family members?"
"Who knows?! Now is not the time to talk about these things. There should be zombies on the stairs leading to the right ahead, Senior Yako!"
"I heard footsteps, drink!"
Busujima Yako leaped into the air, a flash of light emanating from her blade, slicing the zombie on the stairs in two. The severed zombie tumbled down the stairs, and Busujima Yako, gripping her long sword in reverse, pierced its skull. The fastest way to kill a zombie is with a headshot; cutting it in half at the waist allows it to survive for a considerable time, given its resilient nature.
The group hurried towards the castle tower. Li Wei, lagging behind, remained unhurried. Although he had lost the ability to control ordinary zombies after losing his zombie puppet, his senses indicated that the castle tower was in relatively good shape. It shouldn't be too difficult for Takagi Saya's mother, Takagi Yuriko, to hold out until they reached it.
Chapter 194. The Last Pure Land
The group was quite efficient at clearing out the zombies. After all, their weapons were not ordinary, and with Li Wei's help, when they encountered a difficult situation, they would simply strike with lightning, turning all the zombies blocking their way into charred remains. In not long, the group had already climbed to the top floor of the castle tower.
After climbing so many flights of stairs in such a short time, even Tokushima Yako was a little out of breath. Apart from Li Wei, everyone else was already leaning on their knees and panting heavily.
Saya Takagi saw the survivors guarding the castle tower entrance, still using long weapons to intercept zombies. Knowing that this was not the time to rest, she pointed her gun at the zombies and fired repeatedly.
Although the gun couldn't even penetrate the bald zombie's defenses, it's very reliable against ordinary zombies. With the special ammunition, it can take down a "little kid" with a single shot, making it like a miniature shotgun.
After clearing away the zombies blocking the doorway, Saya Takagi breathed a sigh of relief and saw her mother. Yuriko Takagi was currently loading ammunition; her weapon was an Uzi submachine gun that consumed a lot of ammunition. While very effective against zombies, reloading was quite a struggle after the magazine was empty.
The survivors blocking the entrance to the castle tower were buying her time to reload her ammunition. However, they did not expect that the reinforcements who suddenly appeared would be so powerful, easily taking down the zombie horde that had been driving them to such a sorry state.
The survivors guarding the door recognized Takagi Saya, but they looked at Li Wei and the others beside her with a hint of wariness in their eyes.
Saya Takagi entered the castle tower and immediately threw herself into Yuriko Takagi's arms. Yuriko was a little taken aback, and when she realized it was Saya Takagi, her face showed a look of surprise and delight.
“Saya, I didn’t expect you to still be alive! It’s a pity that our family can’t be reunited.” Takagi Yuriko’s eyes dimmed. Takagi Soichiro had already been killed by that bald zombie, and the family reunion could only be an unfulfilled wish.
Takagi Saya said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. I originally came here to take you and your father away from here. Now that you are all alone, you have to leave even more!"
In Takagi Saya's view, the group of people in the Patriotism Society were not good people. When her father was alive, he could use his authority to suppress them, but now that her father was gone, Takagi Yuriko alone could not control them.
The so-called Patriotism Society is a darker entity than any other yakuza organization. Yuriko Takagi, a woman without a husband, wants to control these people? She'll probably be devoured by them in no time.
Taking this into consideration, regardless of whether Yuriko Takagi is willing or not, Saya Takagi will insist on her own idea and forcibly take her away.
Yuriko Takashiro felt lost and confused. She said, "Where can we go now? The world outside is in such chaos. No matter where we go, we can't escape this fate."
Seeing her mother's dejected appearance, Takagi Saya felt a little anxious. Her mother was usually a very shrewd and capable person, and she was always very enthusiastic about everything she did, but now she seemed to have lost her soul.
Saya Takagi shook Yuriko Takagi's shoulder, her voice unconsciously rising: "Mother, now that Father is gone, you must live on even stronger! Just for my sake, to fulfill this selfish person's little wish, you must live on! And I know a pure land where we can survive, so don't lose hope!"
Yuriko Takagi asked doubtfully, "In this kind of apocalypse, is there still a true haven? The whole world is facing a zombie crisis right now. It's not just Japan; other countries have also fallen. How long can we escape?"
Saya Takagi said earnestly, “I encountered a ‘god’ who saved me. The zombie that killed my father has been annihilated, and our revenge has been taken. I’m offering the supplies in this mansion as a pledge to allow you and Father to join the camp. There, we are absolutely safe. No zombies can get in, we don’t have to fear dying at any time, and we’ll have enough to eat and a safe place to rest. Now that Father is gone, Mother, you absolutely must go there!”
Yuriko Takagi listened, stunned, and said in surprise, "Is there still an absolutely pure land in this world? Even a superpower like Japan has had its territory occupied by zombies, and the president had to move his office to an aircraft carrier. In Japan, are there still places like the one you're talking about?"
Yuriko Takashiro was genuinely puzzled. Before the TV signal was cut off, she had been watching the news and learned that the whole world was facing a zombie crisis, not just Japan.
(of Zhao)
If it were just a zombie crisis in the island nation of Japan, with the connections of the Takashiro family, getting a plane ticket to go abroad would be very easy.
But now the world is in complete chaos, with zombies everywhere. Even the five permanent members of the UN Security Council are being thrown into disarray by zombies, and smaller countries have lost their entire territories.
Apart from warships at sea serving as mobile territories for various major powers, there is no absolutely safe place on any land in the world.
The destruction caused by zombies to the world was more rapid and violent than people imagined. In just a few days, the human civilized world faced the crisis of complete collapse of order.
It was precisely because she knew this information that Takashiro Yuriko felt lost, because she truly didn't know where she could go.
Chapter 195. New Members of the Camp
Saya Takagi said, “Mother, do you think I would lie to you? You know, when the zombie crisis broke out, classes were in session. Who helped me survive? A savior saved us and gave us hope to live. Now I’m just sharing that hope with you, Mother.”
Looking at Saya Takagi's fanatical expression, Yuriko Takagi said, "Saya, have you perhaps joined some kind of cult?"
Saya Takagi was both amused and exasperated, but she knew that others might not believe her words, especially in a post-apocalyptic world where everyone was on edge. The camp she described was practically paradise. Saya said, "Mother, you'll see when you come with me. Let's leave here first. Don't let the people from the Patriotic Association know you've left; they might try to stop you."
Saya Takagi warily observed the few survivors guarding the castle tower entrance. In an extreme right-wing organization like the Patriotic Movement, there were no good people, including her father. Although Takagi Soichiro was her father, she had to admit one thing: he was arguably the key figure in this extremist organization. Could such a person be a good person?
That's precisely why Takagi Saya was worried about her mother staying here. After all, didn't she know what kind of people this organization was? Takagi Yuriko, having recovered somewhat, asked, "So how do we leave?" Takagi Saya pointed to the sky.
After persuading Yuriko Takagi, Li Wei spent some time storing all the supplies in the mansion into his consciousness space.
Yuriko Takashiro was still a little dazed as she sat on the flying carpet. When she saw her daughter pointing to the sky, she thought they had a helicopter. Little did she know that the vehicle they were riding in was far more advanced than a helicopter.
"I never imagined I'd one day ride on the legendary flying carpet," Yuriko Takagi exclaimed.
Gently stroking the soft flying carpet, Takagi Yuriko was filled with mixed emotions. If Li Wei and the others had arrived at the mansion sooner, perhaps her husband, Takagi Soichiro, wouldn't have died.
But there are no "what ifs" in this world, and what has already happened cannot be changed. The only thing she can do is face reality and live well with her daughter.
Li Wei glanced at the woman in the red evening gown, with a beautiful face and mature figure. Takashiro Yuriko was much prettier in person than in the anime.
Moreover, the sadness in her eyes, stemming from the loss of her husband, only enhanced her extraordinary charm.
Saya Takagi said from the side, "There are many new and interesting things in the camp. You'll find out when we get there, Mother. The teacher is a very capable person, not only very skilled but also kind-hearted."
What Takagi Saya said was true to some extent. Li Wei was indeed very good to the people he cared about, but this was only limited to those people. To strangers, Li Wei was quite indifferent.
Sitting at the front, Li Wei smiled and said, "I only did what I could, and besides, I'm not some pushover. Just like Lady Takagi joined the camp, it was because Saya sent her a pledge of loyalty." Takagi Yuriko could understand Li Wei's words. If she were in Li Wei's position, she might have been even stricter.
Sitting in the back, Miyamoto Rei watched Takagi Saya reunite with her mother and felt incredibly envious. However, she couldn't offer any "proof of loyalty" and therefore couldn't send her own parents to the camp.
Rei Miyamoto had tried to contact her parents, but due to the disaster, the cell phone signal was cut off, and her phone became a useless piece of metal that could not make calls. If it weren't for the cell phone charging cable in the camp, her phone might not have even been able to turn on.
Unable to contact her family, Miyamoto Rei felt extremely anxious and even began to feel fear. Her father was a frontline police officer, and in such an apocalyptic world, the casualty rate among frontline police officers would undoubtedly be high. Perhaps her father had already become a zombie.
Rei Miyamoto dared not continue thinking about it; she was afraid that if she kept overthinking, she would suffer a mental breakdown due to the unbearable pressure.
Igo Hisashi and Komuro Takaya both showed expressions of envy; after all, such an opportunity to reunite with family wasn't something everyone could have. Komuro Takaya wanted to find his relatives, but he lacked the ability to survive alone. Leaving the camp alone, he might become a zombie at any moment. He had lost his courage; although he wanted to leave the camp, he couldn't bring himself to make such a decision.
Li Wei controlled the flying carpet, moving forward at a leisurely pace in the sky. He wasn't in a hurry to return to the camp, after all, he had only been out for a short time, and his stay at the Gao family mansion was less than twenty minutes.
The addition of Yuriko Takagi to the team wasn't a burden, but Yuriko's Uzi submachine gun had limited ammunition. Once the ammunition ran out, she would no longer be able to provide fire support for the others.
As for the guns that Takagi Saya uses, the bullets can be exchanged for with points from Li Wei. As long as her accuracy isn't too bad, she won't run out of points.
Once Saya Takagi masters marksmanship, she can earn a lot of points just by providing fire support for the team.
For the next while, the team's resource-gathering journey returned to normal, with no more large-scale battles. Small-scale skirmishes also posed no significant threat to the academy camp team. By clearing out various relatively large supermarkets, the spoils, while not as plentiful as the first mission, were still quite substantial.
Before nightfall, the well-prepared team returned to camp. Although their strength wouldn't be greatly affected even in nighttime combat, night fighting was still inconvenient. Considering the disproportionate effort and reward, Li Wei was too lazy to continue working overtime that night; overtime was his least favorite thing.
Chapter 196. Settling Yuriko Takashiro
Back at the camp, Komuro Takashi and Igo Hisashi were both quite silent. Li Wei saw this and just smiled. He had let the two of them escape today and failed to extract any points, but next time, they wouldn't be so lucky.
After returning to the camp, Li Wei took Takagi Yuriko to the top floor of dormitory building number one. Takagi Yuriko's dormitory needed to be arranged separately.
It wouldn't be appropriate to assign Yuriko Takagi to the teachers' quarters, and there are also some minor issues with her living with the students. Originally, Li Wei wanted to arrange for Yuriko Takagi to live with Saya Takagi, but Yuriko refused. The reason for her refusal was simple: she was thinking about Saya Takagi's social circle.
Saya Takagi currently lives in a large dormitory room with three other roommates besides herself. Yuriko Takagi is worried that after Li Wei moves Saya to live with her, Saya's social circle will narrow.
In the apocalypse, interpersonal relationships are also quite important; good relationships with others can save you a lot of trouble. Therefore, Saya Takagi wants to live with her mother, but Yuriko Takagi tells Levi that it's inappropriate.
So Li Wei led Yuriko, a high-ranking official, to the relatively spacious top floor.
"Mrs. Takashiro, this is your room." Li Wei pushed open the dormitory door. The room was a clean four-person room. The dormitories on the top floor were reserved for potential emergencies.
With a wave of his hand, Li Wei transformed the previously somewhat empty room into a space filled with exquisite furniture and decorative paintings, bringing the room to life. A brand-new set of bedding appeared on the lower bunk bed facing the floor-to-ceiling window, while a steaming hot bento box sat on the long table.
Li Wei opened the cabinet under the long table, which contained all sorts of snacks.
Li Wei said, "The water and electricity in the dormitory are unlimited. For hot water, you need to use a kettle to get it from the floor below. The toilets only have simple toilets. If you want to take a shower, you need to go to the public bathhouse."
Installing water heaters and dedicated pipes in every room is quite a troublesome task, and it also requires him to expend extra spiritual energy to convert it into gas. Considering the losses along the way, it's not very cost-effective. Therefore, Li Wei simply found a place to build a public bathhouse, allowing all the female members to go there to take care of their personal hygiene needs.
Yuriko Takagi sighed, "When Saya first told me about this place, I thought she'd been misled by the cult. How could there be such a wonderful place in the apocalypse? Now that I've seen it for myself, it truly is paradise in the apocalypse." Yuriko Takagi had personally experienced the cruelty of the apocalypse, and because she had lost so much, she knew how precious everything was now. In her eyes, it was extremely difficult for Levi to maintain the operation of such a large camp.
In Yuriko Takagi's view, although Li Wei had tried his best to collect supplies, with the population of this camp, the supplies he could gather were just a drop in the ocean. This sanctuary in the apocalypse was in danger of being destroyed at any time, and this was not something that Li Wei could avoid just because he had superhuman powers.
