It was considered as a miracle for me to be able to escape from the cultist members as I drive the road. The cultists have not pursued me after my escape to their ”Hunting Grounds” which maybe due to the upcoming Night Rage that they don’t have to bother on capturing me which is a plus point for me already. I checked the little boy and he is still as emotionless without even showing the tiniest shred of emotion except the blank look on his face. Since we are out of danger, I decided to start the interview of this fella.

”Hey kid, we finally got rid of our pursuers so you can start showing some emotion on your face.

The kid looked at me with his blank face and started speaking. ”Said by the person who also has no emotion showing what you feel.”

This kid can also do sarcasm eh, but no matter. At least I knew that he is alive and he can speak without any complication.

”What is your name?”

”Kogure Tachibana.”

”How old are you?”

”Seven years old.”

I was surprised that he is much older compared to Eve who is six years old considering that he is much smaller in stature and he is somewhat thin and malnourished for a seven year old kid.

”Where are your parents?”

”Nonexistent.”

”If they are nonexistent, who was the woman who helped you earlier?”

”She just helped me when we meet up with some people carrying guns. You already saw what happened to her so you don’t need to ask. And if you want to ask me if I know her personally then my answer is no.”

The answers of the kid is straight to the point and since he said that his parents are nonexistent, that means he does not know. If he was raised by someone else, he should have been alright unless the person who was taking care of him has been killed and was reanimated. But from his reaction, he is already mature enough like he was a grown up man already. It is enough for me to layout my assumptions that he is a special case. I didn’t ask for further questions as he looks like he will not be answering much of my questions even if I ask him.

The special undead are already showing up in the darkness. I am seeing a few Stalkers standing on the road while there are also the normal ones who are now moving in a half walking-half running motion. Over all, the night rage is almost here. It was a good thing that there are no Juggernauts on the road or else, things will be really messy.

Smashing a few undead on the way, the others who did not get crushed by the car will immediately devour the deceased ones which until now, is quite a mystery for me.

I wanted to hunt for some piyavka materials too but things are still too dangerous for normal people so I will have to just wait until the Piyavka and Laika are both safe. Since I got a few supplies of food from looting earlier areas, there is no need for me to loot for more unless our reserves has finally gotten low in yield.

Also, staying in the tower forever is not going to be a good possible long term base. We got there for the sake of helping the SDF get rid of the behemoth. Now that our plan is to reclaim the whole Osaka from the grasp of the undead, finding a huge, reliable and sturdy base is the main priority as the tower won’t just cut out as good place.

Halfway through the tower, the Night Rage for the day has finally arrived once more as the dogs has started to howl, I also work with the road. The normal undead started running for everything that attracts them. It’s gonna be a long night.

Night Rage ended

The pickup truck has finally run out of gas after the night rage ended but its no longer a problem since I am in the vicinity of the tower when it ran out of gas so there is no need for me to worry about it. I killed the remaining stragglers before contacting the guards on the gate. Luckily, it was Souichi who was on the watch so when he saw me, he immediately asked the others to open the gate.

I asked the soldiers for fuel and they gave me the necessary fuel for me to use to rekindle the engine of the car. With the gas out of the problem, I drive the pickup inside. The soldiers inspected us for any bites or whatnots and they also inspected the car, revealing the loot I got. Seeing canned food on the supply, the soldiers beamed into smile as they can finally eat decent meals after just maintaining on rations as they don’t want to waste food. Now with canned food that is enough to last for a few weeks, they will not be hungry for a while.

While the soldiers were busy unloading the looted supplies, Souichi noticed the kid I was holding in my hand.

”A survivor?”

”Mmm, I rescued this little guy somewhere on the market district.”

Laika sniffs on Kogure but the latter didn’t even care, he just stood there like nothing.

”What a weird kid.”

”Where are the others? Are they currently doing work right now?” I asked.

”Yes. Nothing much else and things weren’t that hectic last night so most of us managed to rest for a bit.”

While I was talking with Souichi, Kogure started speaking.

”This place is not ideal. I suggest to leave this place as soon as possible. Defenses will not work in the future like how messed up this place is.”

I frowned when I heard about Kogure’s way of talking.

”If you guys don’t want to be zombie chow, then I suggest you follow my suggestion and leave this place as soon as possible and find a better place to live.”
