I took an hour nap to rest my weary body in the sleeping quarters before heading back to Nanami on the control room. When I arrived, she was carrying a box of random things and some tools.

”Where are you going?” I asked.

”Ah, I am going to the workshop. I am going to create the prototype for our internet connection establishment in case the internet will go down like the ones in Zhao Fan’s place. Can you please carry the other box inside the control room?”

I nodded and headed inside the control room to pick up the box that Nanami mentioned. On the table is another box full of electronic parts that I remembered to be some of those things I looted in stores when Nanami asked me to get parts like these for creating gadgets. To think she will be using these junk to create the prototype. I really don’t get people good at making things on how and where did they learn doing these.

Nanami went on ahead so I have to wen by myself to the workshop. Arriving into the workshop, I realized that this place is the noisiest place in the tower. The workshop occupied an entire floor of the tower which is understandable as it is the core place to create weapons, bullets and other miscellaneous stuff needed for the defense of the tower.

Day 11: 9:31 A.M

Osaka: Tsutenkaku Tower: Makeshift tent facilities

Melee: Brass Knuckles, Wakizashi, Kitchen Cleaver(Repaired and Enhanced), Piyavka Sickle

Guns: AR15(Scope and Suppressor attached) Colt 45, Beretta M9 Pistol, Hunting Shotgun

Entering it revealed the different varieties of weapons displayed on the wall. There are guns, melee weapons and many other things not usually seen everyday like swords, katanas and a few others like shield and armors. Nanami is currently standing on the side of the leftmost table as she reads the blueprint sent by Zhao Fan on her laptop.

Putting the box beside the box she carried earlier, I took a peek on the prototype’s blueprint to see what it looks like. The gadget is rectangular shape, it was indeed looking similar to an internet modem only in the miniature and wireless side. It runs in battery that can be charged with solar power so my guess is that this thing will have a solar panel chip installed to keep it running. There are other miscellaneous stuff that interconnects here and there but I don’t understand a single thing about it.

”This thing is easy to create and since we have plenty of materials thanks to you looting the electronics shop before, we can create around 7 pieces of these without a problem.”

”Only six?” I asked.

”Yes. Some of the materials in the box are not necessary but useful in other project so if I calculate the usage of the materials, only 7 will be created for us to use.” 

”Okay, so how does this work?”

”Are you sure you want to hear it? It will take me a lot of hours just by explaining how this works ad by your patience in listening explanations, I can tell that you will sleep before I can finish talking about its functions.”

”Understandable. I don’t want to hear it.”

”Okay, saved me the time and saliva. Let’ get working while the internet is still working.”

I assisted on her making it but most of the work are done by Nanami alone. She was so efficient on creating one prototype that I was at loss on her speed. Did she get proficient just by watching videos on the internet? I don’t know, it seems impossible.

Around two hours later, she managed to create three pieces of the prototype. Each of them do not look identical as the materials used to create them differs everytime. However, they work the same way so I am not going to comment on its designs.

”So, does this thing will work right here right now?” I asked.

”No. These needed to be installed in places that has the best spot to create the internet hotspot. It needed to be set up manually in places that is not accessible by others, not easily disturbed and can have a good access to sunlight for it to charge up its batteries in case the power of the batteries runs out.”

”I know what you are going to say and that is for me to install these to these certain places right?”

”Wow! How did you know Kyosei? Are you perhaps able to read minds?”

”Psh, after all of those errands these past scavenge hunts, you keep on asking me to do this and fetch that for me so I am not surprised anymore. It’s getting predictable.”

”Haha, yeah. It is your job. Aside from your good reflexes, you can easily fight undead without problem. You are the perfect candidate to bring these prototypes to its necessary spots.”

”Damn, can I decline?”

”Nope, do you think there are any kind of person capable of doing the same thing as you? If so, can you say who it was then? I won’t bother you if you can do so.”

”Tch... Anyways, where are those spots?”

I have a few marked out on good places but I am not yet finalizing it as it can change depending on the circ.u.mstances. There is one place that needed it and it is a one of the spot I have finalized. It is the Shitennoji Junior and Senior High School building. It is not that far from Tsutenkaku Tower so you have no problem on it and complain it is far. If possible, you will be going there as soon as possible so I can set it up after your installation.”

There is no room for any kind of conversation to avoid the installation part. I won’t win even if I complain about it so there is no point. Nanami took my phone, and marked it on the map of my phone for me to remember.

”Remember, the higher the place, the better. It is also ideal for you to put it outside. We won’t need to worry about the rain because it was designed to be waterproof to avoid getting wet when it rains. So my suggestion is to install it on the rooftop. Since the outbreak is already claiming lives left and right, there is no reason for the rooftop to be raided, making it a good place to put the prototype.”

”Isn’t this just a trial? How come I needed to prepare it on a very specific place? Buildings like a school is a pretty much troublesome face to clear!”

”Because if it succeeded, we can install it immediately and you won’t spend the time to put the actual thing once the trial is over, repeating the same cycle.”

I scratch my head in annoyance. She always have a point and I can’t argue with her logic so I decided to stay quiet instead.

After receiving the prototype, there is no time for me to waste. I took my lunch much earlier before I get back into my pickup car to head into the Shitennoji Junior and Senior High school.

Day 11: 01:30 P.M

Osaka Streets: Road to Shitennoji Junior and Senior High School

Melee: Brass Knuckles, Wakizashi, Kitchen Cleaver(Repaired and Enhanced), Piyavka Sickle

Guns: AR15(Scope and Suppressor attached) Colt 45, Beretta M9 Pistol, Hunting Shotgun

It took me quite a while since the road has full of car wrecks and the undead roaming in the streets are also annoying to crash which and avoiding them just takes too much time. When I arrived, it is a little bit peaceful compared to the main road where all of the dead are just clumping here and there.

Despite the peaceful atmosphere of the place, that doesn’t mean the place is free from dead people. The moment I went out of the pickup truck after parking it, the putrid smell emanating in the air reveals me the chaos that occured here before.

There are body parts of a human hand on the street, on some parts, there are also mangled corpse no longer recognizable and has been rotting and been infested my big maggots already. It means this place didn’t escape the wrath of the outbreak. After scouting the place and making sure the place is safe, I prepare all of my weapons and the prototype too. I am not sure how long I will be in here but I can presume I will be staying much longer here to explore the place.

I am just hoping the special infected that will appear here will not be too hard to kill because I don’t want to deal the same kind of danger that I experienced, back in my school. Pulling out the cleaver, I am now ready to begin the operation.
