Traveler, High School Student, Homeless

"Anlina, it's me, Kamijou, you are safe."

Behind the gently opened door was a little girl shivering, and immediately threw herself into Kamijou Touma's arms after seeing Kamijou Touma.

"Everyone, everyone is screaming, many people died, those monsters kept screaming, many people died..."

The incoherent girl hugged the boy tightly, sobbing and talking non-stop.Kamijou Touma could only pat her body lightly and comfort her softly.He stood up, holding the girl in one arm and the ax in the other, and returned to the corridor.The anti-theft door in the stairwell was still making knocking sounds, and it sounded like it wasn't just a night monster knocking on the door outside. Those things that were extremely sensitive to smell obviously sensed that there was fresh flesh and blood in this floor.

You have to find another way out of here.

"On the wall outside, there are things crawling, especially smelly, they, they are scratching the window, Hader glanced at the window, and then he was caught in the face..."

The girl, who obviously couldn't break free from her fear for a while, was still repeating in a low voice.

"John, John said he saw Dad, and then something grabbed him and dragged him into the dark, and he was screaming, very, very loud..."

The teenager, who was looking for other ways out, walked past a section of fire, which seemed to be caused by the previous rescuers who accidentally lit a few cabinets on fire during the battle.But fortunately, the range of the flame burning is not large, and it will not hinder the sight and passage, but can illuminate a nearby section of the road.

"Then John, John came back, no matter what everyone called him, he ignored me, he kept barking, he kept trying to bite people, he bit a lot of people, it hurt, it hurt so much. Uncle Bracken hugged John's neck, John didn't bite, Uncle Bracken cried..."

Under the lighting of the fire, the clear blood on An Lina's arm was particularly eye-catching at this moment.

She was bitten and infected.

At this moment, the boy stopped abruptly, realizing the dire situation.

The nameless virus that can turn people into zombies, and secondly mutate them into various dangerous gadgets and even night devils, is a terminal disease that cannot be treated once it is infected.The only effective inhibitors are simply able to delay this process.Therefore, if the infected person wants to ensure survival without being transformed, they must be injected every 48 hours.However, this is only in the vast majority of cases. Some people still cannot survive after injection, some people get worse immediately after several injections, and there are people who directly cause secondary mutations due to injection of inhibitors.

Even worse, in the case of the first infection, due to differences in immunity and personal physique, some people can persist for several days without injecting inhibitors and can maintain themselves without drastic changes, and some people will be transformed and beaten in a few minutes. No inhibitors helped.Obviously, children's immunity is usually not good enough in the face of this terrible virus.

"No, there are rescues, there are rescues, there are inhibitors on the top floor, there are inhibitors on the top floor! The distance is so close, I can definitely catch up, I can definitely catch up!"

Is it self-comforting words?Or do you really have this confidence?

Kamijou Touma could no longer discern his emotions at this moment, he just kept comforting the trembling girl in his arms, looking for another way out of here.

Bang!

After a loud noise, a door in the corridor not far away was knocked open.

The boy was almost ready to pick up the ax and slash at it, but soon, he found that it was Bracken who came out of the door.This physically and mentally strong man is panting at the moment, his whole body is covered with blood, and several bite wounds can be seen, obviously he has gone through a fierce battle.Behind Bracken, there were a total of five or six guards following. Compared with the group of people who went down at the beginning, it could be said that they were in a panic. It was hard to imagine how dangerous it was that made them become like this.

"Damn, it's finally resolved. Ah, Kamijou, why are you here?"

Seeing Kamijou Touma, Bracken froze for a moment.

"An Lina was bitten, she needs an inhibitor now!"

The boy didn't have time to talk nonsense about why he came here, and now he only hoped to save the girl in his arms.

"Fuck, even the last one... the road upstairs has been sealed off, those things are all over the building now, we can't go up."

Bracken, whose expression darkened in an instant, clenched his fists at this moment.

"Can't you go up? No, there must be a way, and there must be another way up, right?"

If you can't go to the top floor, if you can't get the inhibitor, are you going to let yourself give up this child?

Give up this child who lost his parents, lost his family, and finally regained his smile?Just like Jed and the others who gave up Brewer, just temporarily settle it, and then "solve" it at an appropriate time?

Unacceptable, in any case unacceptable, such a development, such an ending.

"There is another way. Outside the tower, there is another camp in a sports field about 80 meters away. Dr. Zelei has a research room there, and he has inhibitors in his hand. This emergency staircase is usually sealed off. Yes, so there won’t be those things inside. But then we have to walk down to the ten floors downstairs, and then walk nearly [-] meters to the safety zone over there at night, this is the only chance.”

Gritting his teeth, Bracken finally came up with a method.

Without hesitation, Kamijou Touma quickly ran downstairs the next moment.

"Hey, don't be too hasty and watch out for falling!"

Bracken in the rear quickly followed.

The narrow stairwell seems to be an endless loop at this moment, as if there is no end in sight.

The girl in her arms suddenly began to tremble all over, and the hands that had just gently hugged the young man grabbed him tightly, even biting her nails into the flesh.

"Brother...it hurts...it hurts..."

Alina's voice sounded like a dream at this moment

The first stage of infection is epilepsy-like convulsions, tremors, and uncontrollable pain.

"You'll be fine, little girl, you'll be fine, don't forget you still want to see the flowers in the ditch."

The boy was running with all his strength, but his voice was so gentle and cautious, like a lullaby lullaby lulling a girl to sleep.

"Brother... I saw... Mom and Dad... I think of... them..."

In the weakening voice was the girl's body trembling more and more violently, and the boy could feel that her body temperature was rising rapidly, becoming scorching hot.

The second stage of the infection, the hyperthermia of the body, represents the rapidity of metabolism, and this abnormal development is the beginning of the transformation process.How the hell is it so fast!It's only been a few minutes, why is it so fast! ! !

"Stop talking, stop talking, it's almost here, you'll be fine!"

Jumping over the stairs suddenly, the boy finally reached the first floor at this moment.Sweat soaked his clothes, and the sweat beads on his forehead penetrated into the hollow of his forehead, stimulating the internal wounds and causing severe pain, but at this moment, the young man had no energy left to care about such things.All he wanted to do now was to reach the doctor's laboratory that Bracken had mentioned, find inhibitors and inject the poor girl with her life to save her life.

It shouldn't be like this.

Such young children should play with their classmates at school, stay in bed at home and be taught by their family members, play everywhere and laugh happily every day.What is this, what is this, why should she bear such pain!

Kamijou Touma grabbed the door on the first floor of the emergency stairwell.

"Wait a minute, don't open it right away!"

Bracken, who had been following behind, roared at this moment.

click-

Behind the opened door, a tall figure appeared, with a dark bulletproof vest studded with nails, and a ferocious and indifferent pale face.

"what--"

Boom!

He only had time to turn around and let his body bear the blow instead of letting the girl in his arms be attacked.

An extremely heavy punch sent the young man flying, rolled on the ground several times, and finally stopped after hitting the wall.

Alina fell to the ground and lay on her side in the corridor, seemingly unconscious.

Bracken roared and rushed forward, punching the tall figure in the face, but the other didn't even turn his head, stretched out his arm to block, Bracken's muscular body flew out, smashed on the other wall.

Why are you here, obviously you were upstairs before?

Struggling to get up, the young man looked at An Lina who was not far away while thinking. He just had time to catch his breath, but the next moment his heavy footsteps approached him.A big hand stretched out suddenly, grabbing Kamijou Touma's neck and directly lifting him up.

So it looks different, this thing actually... more than one...

The boy who was strangled by the neck and unable to breathe, only had time to see the other person's appearance at this moment. Although the difference was very subtle, he still noticed that there was a slight difference between this tall figure and the one that appeared upstairs. existing.

But why, there are such things appearing one after another?Natural mutation, can it mutate a monster wearing a top hat and body armor?

"Uh... ah..."

The irresistible force tightened up bit by bit, and at this moment, the sight became dark and blurred.

Doing my best, I moved my gaze downwards, trying to find that figure.

She saw the petite Alina lying motionless on the ground.With such a long distance, there is no way to know how she is doing now, wait a minute, that is... no, don't get close...

A zombie with a highly decomposed body, which could no longer distinguish between male and female, was limping close to Alina who had fallen to the ground.

"No...not... move... her..."

Grabbing the fingers of the tall figure pinching his neck with all his strength, the young man's voice seemed hoarse as if it was squeezed out of his lung cavity.

"Don't... move her!"

Uncontrollable anger, such full and inflated killing intent, unreasonable, unforgivable, unbearable——

"I'm not allowed to touch her!!!!!!"

Bit by bit, Kamijou Touma abruptly opened the tall figure's fingers.

At this moment, the right hand was clenched tightly, and there was a clear cracking sound from the bones. The power seemed to be pouring in continuously, and the consciousness was unprecedentedly clear, and time seemed to slow down.

Why should such a painful and sad thing be staged in front of him?

I don't accept it, I will never accept it.If such a world is the so-called hell, then I will use my hands to smash it into pieces!

Kamijou Touma swung his fist.

Boom!

A fierce fist hit the face of this tall figure, staggered, and the huge figure that had never retreated since its appearance took several steps back at this moment, and directly hit the wall on the other side of the corridor behind him, Make a dull noise.

Chapter 230 Eight: What Do You Think You Can Do?

"Hu-hu-"

The boy's breathing was getting heavier.

Every inch of skin on the body, every nerve is in pain, and the head is becoming more and more dizzy.The blood dripping from his forehead flowed into his mouth, and there was a salty smell, and there seemed to be a bit of bitterness in it.

Clenching his fists, he obviously felt that his body was gradually on the verge of collapse, but he also felt that the power was constantly coming in and gathering on his body.

Boom!

The sound of heavy footsteps resounded very clearly on the ground.

At this moment, the tall and muscular body clenched its fists and swung violently at the boy.

This time, the feeling was a bit clearer, time seemed to be stagnant in a short moment, so that the boy's eyes could clearly see the changes of each frame and moment of the opponent's fist.Then, he only needed to twist his body slightly, clenched his fists, and in the next second, the boy swung his full strength towards this behemoth.

thump—

After the sudden punch, the wrinkled face of that person completely deformed.

The tall figure was sent flying by Kamijou Touma, and rolled several times on the ground.It seemed that he hadn't expected that he would be blown away at all. After getting up from the ground, the figure kept kneeling on one knee. He reached out and touched his swollen face, showing a somewhat puzzled expression.

Can it really fly out with one punch?

Even Kamijou Touma himself, who swung this blow, was a little dazed, completely unaware that his punch could achieve such an effect.

No matter, the most important thing now is about An Lina.

Without hesitation, the boy hurried forward a few steps towards the girl who fell on the ground not far away.Before the rotting zombie had time to walk in front of An Lina, he was kicked by the boy, staggered and fell to the ground, and then Kamijou Touma immediately picked up the unconscious girl and headed outside run.
