Outbreak Chronicles: Dead Pandemic - Chapter 350

CRASH!

Our Sedan crash towards the nearest building when the undead that flocked towards us messed up with Mr. Tanaka’s driving which caused him to crash the car into the nearby wreckage. Thankfully, the crash isn’t that strong, to begin with, allowing us to survive the crash and live through it.

“Move out immediately before the car blows up!” Mr. Suzuki said as we evacuated.

I went out first and killed the nearest undead that might threaten our safety and made sure everyone went out alive and well.

Once Souichi and Mr. Tanaka are out, Mr. Suzuki signaled me that we can already get out of the area and flee to the nearest safe building. Still, even though we managed to get out, we did not escape the undead at all. With their numbers in the red zone, it would be not an easy feat to clear out the whole surroundings.

Mr. Tanaka rush out to the nearest building with a second floor and bash through the door and aimed his gun inside. Once he confirmed that there was no undead inside, Mr. Tanaka signaled us to come in as fast as we can.

The three of us move slowly and used our guns to kill the enemies incoming as we go slowly towards the door. Once we get into the door, without a hitch, Mr. Tanaka closed the door and quickly block the door with a cabinet, blocking the door’s opening.

“This will not last long, let’s get going and move out!” Mr. Tanaka said.

I lead the way this time as I am the most armed guy in the group since the others are all holding their guns to shoot down any undead that tries to attack us in a blindspot.

There is some undead inside the building but they are not a total threat and they are much more easy disposal. The problem is the amount of undead below the building. Once they bust through the door, it is going to be very bad and it will be hell for all of us, not just for me who knows how to fight them all out but to everyone else too.

We climb up to the second floor only to find it infested with the fleshy membranes that I saw before when I fought against the gluttony.

“Urgh, what the hell are these fleshy things?!” Souichi was almost going to puke.

“This is clearly not from the mosquitoes. The structure of the flesh looks similar but this one is far bigger,” Mr. Tanaka said.

“Don’t bother checking on the guys, they are the puke of another special undead which I met last time. We should be lucky since that monster is not here to torment us,” I said while looking around the surroundings to find a good window that can allow us to climb to the roof and get into the next building to avoid moving on the ground to die.”

“A special infected?” Souichi looks at the things on the walls and the ground and covers his mouth.

“We shouldn’t investigate this one since it is irrelevant, lets get going before those infected below gets to climb up here. I don’t think that cabinet will last long and that door will not be able to hold all of them out!” Mr. Tanaka said as he looks for a way for us to get out.

“Got one, come here guys, we can escape them in here,” I pointed out the window and went outside of it. The others follow suit and we are already just an inch away from the rooftop.

“Holy sh*t, let’s get out of here!” Mr. Tanaka blocks the door and rejoined us.

“What are we going to do now?” Mr. Suzuki is waiting for my commands.

“There is a van over there! It doesn’t look like it was broken down and it seems like it has been abandoned by the previous owner!” Souichi points out a black van just on the side of the road. I used the scope of my gun to look into the van’s interior whether it looks fine and all.”

“I don’t see any sort of damages from it but there is a possibility that the van has a missing key. There is no way there is a key left behind of this car,” I said to them.

“We can just hotwire the car and see if we can run it up. It is a much better solution than to remain to hold out in this rooftop with the undead just below this building swarming up,” Mr. Suzuki said.

“So who will retrieve it? Below us is just a bunch of undead ready to attack us, there is no way we can get out of here without going face to face with them, isn’t there?” Souichi said.

“How about you Souichi? You have been practicing your combat techniques this past few days, how about doing it?” Mr. Suzuki asked.

“No, no. I may have trained to fight them but I am still nowhere as nimble as Kyosei. I may be a black belter in karate but that doesn’t mean I can easily replicate how Kyosei fight against multiple undead at once!”

Scratching my head, I step up and volunteered. “Four-eyes here is unreliable, I guess it is still my job to fetch that van.”

“I will come along, someone needs to hotwire the damn thing if there is no available key. You two should support us from above instead and deal with enemies that attack us. That way, we will have a much easier time and we can bring the van faster,” Mr. Tanaka said.

“Fine by me,” I said.

“Now let’s get going. We have a crate to take and a few guys I need to see and confront with.”

Carrying the Piyavka Machete, I jump off the building, diving into the horde of undead below me.

“Time to shed some blood.”
