Outbreak Chronicles: Dead Pandemic

Chapter 293 - The Return of the Deadly Devil from Vacation
Day 328: 7:42 A.M

I woke up a little later than usual today since today is also the day my rest will be over and I will be back to the frontlines and fight once again against the dead.

It has been a week and a day since I rescued the captives from the gangsters and from what I can see, they managed to slowly fit in with the others though they are still not that good at interacting with most of them.

The children have been able to cope the fastest and have been playing with the rest of the children inside the base. They are too carefree that anyone wouldn’t imagine that they have experienced too many hardsh.i.p.s and challenges that almost claimed their lives.

As for the pregnant women that have been taken care of by a few of the household group and a few of the women who are helping them cope up and not fall into stress and despair is slowly recovering their bearings and are slowly accepting the kids in their bellies as they nurture them for 9 months.

All in all, it was a positive outcome, sure they have received a few mental health problems but they are slowly being remedied so that they won’t become a harmful thought that might lead to danger in the future.

As for me, my wounds already healed after it was treated by Miyuki which caused them to be shocked at my fast recovery.  I rarely go to them to treat wounds like gunshot wounds but to see the healing capabilities of my body caused them shocked a little bit curious. 

Chie and Dr. Kogure heard of this and asked me to give them a sample of the blood sample from me and the following day, they have confirmed that that Virus Galea that has been on a dormant mode for quite a while has been active and has slowly been merging with my other cells.

I am not too sure how to react to this or if I should need to be worried about this development in my body. There are still a few known things with the Galea Virus and knowing that I am infected but immune to it but still has some effects coming from the virus itself is kind of confusing.

Eve reassured me that the virus in my body is not going to rampage like most of the virus on many individuals as she can feel what the Galea Virus can and cannot do.

I should have returned to the frontlines much earlier since my wounds disappeared the day after the rescue of the captives happened but Miyuki and the others insisted that I needed proper rest after finding out my bad habits of sleeping less especially when I go to a mission.

Because there was nothing I can do, I have to resort to things I needed to do in my free time. During that time, Izayoi became my companion at that time. Since Izayoi usually has a guard duty at night since he functions well during the night, he usually takes his rest during the morning.

When I am not with Izayoi, I practice my gun shooting skills in the shooting range. As the necessity to learn how to use a gun is necessary, I trained my marksmanship properly to avoid more problems in the future. I might know the basic principles of using the gun but nothing can beat an experience of it.

I stretch my body, took a bath, and ate my breakfast before grabbing all of my equipment that I hang on the wall and attached them to my body. I also equip all of the weapons I needed and ready myself again to undergo the hellish world outside the walls.

Looking at the mirror, I don my beanie back in my head and put my headphones back to my ear.

”It’s time to get things to work.”

(Kyosei’s View)

I went to Haru’s Office to report the end of my little week off. Since he knows about my situation, he didn’t give me any missions on what I needed to be done for the base.

When I arrived, Nanami is currently there, helping Haru fixing his PC as it started to malfunction.

”Ah, Kyosei. How is your week? Did you get enough rest already?” Haru asked.

”I am sick of it already,” I said.

”Well, this is perfect Kyosei. Since you wanted some warm-up jobs before the main job, we needed someone to help us with an errand. This time around, we need a working console for the computer since the console of Haru’s PC is already going to the drain.”

”What about his laptop?” I asked, pointing out the laptop.

”The laptop is indeed fine and works well, but there is something else that is lacking in the laptop that is present in the PC. It isn’t the same thing. Also, most of the important things we have are stored in the computer so the sooner the computer is fixed, the better,” Haru said.

I knew the feeling of what Haru said about the laptop and the PC so I didn’t interject about it.

”A working console right? Is there any sort of specific system you needed me to bring?” I asked.

”There is nothing specific but the higher the specs and quality of it, the better. It would be good if you can bring a console that is very suitable for gaming high graphic games as they are the ones with high processing specs and will most likely be able to last a lot longer,” Nanami said.

”I might be able to find a few but I am not a guy who knows his thing with PC building. I didn’t have the luxury to own one and the last thing I own is a laptop and if I wanted to play games on PC, I can just play in a PC cafe. How can I tell if the Console I brought is good enough to satisfy the requirement?”

”Bring Izayoi with you then. He is capable of identifying consoles to gaming laptops. Also, bring along a medic with you to help you with treating wounds if necessary, that way, you can finish the job as fast as possible. How does that sound?” Nanami suggested.

”I don’t mind with that,” I answered.

”Alright then, let’s call the members of your team this time around.”

Nanami uses the speaker to bring over an available medic and Izayoi together to the HQ.

A few minutes later, Izayoi came followed by the medic who turns out to be Cindy as she was the one who is not busy at the moment. She blushed when she saw me but she quickly composes. It looks like she still harbors some feelings for me but I still don’t think she is thinking about her choice since I am a clear bad choice.

”Is there something wrong?” Izayoi asked.

There is nothing wrong. However, you will be joining an operation with Kyosei this time. Your skills for spotting a good computer console are needed in this mission.”

”Finding a console?”

”Sure! Since this mission is easier compared to Kyosei’s most missions, I don’t think I will decline on it, so sure!”

”Alright. Anyways, Cindy will be the backup and support of you two so make sure you guys won’t trouble her with your shenanigans as always hmmm?”

”No worries! I got it under control! And since Kyosei is also with the group, there is nothing bad going to happen! So what is my reward on this mission?” Izayoi asked.

”You can go bring along a good gaming laptop or even a gaming console with you as long as it doesn’t take too much energy problem with our energy source. We can’t just have something consume too much electricity.”

”Well, I am hyped! Let’s get this mission done!” Izayoi said.

With that, the mission for the day will be with Izayoi and Cindy this time around. This is going to be a simple mission and hopefully, this is something that is enough for me to warm up and keep my game up.
