- Chapter 115 - 【 116】 Abnormal situation
Paragraph 1:
Searching for Allen and the investigation team.
I, Mona, and Iris moved together, while Villain stayed at the temporary base that Iris had purified.
“Be careful~”
Villain waved his hand at us.
I thought about the possibility of Villain being in danger, but like the leader of 【Expedition】 that he is, he spoke in a hearty voice,
‘Don’t worry about me. If I’m in danger, I’ll sense it ahead of time, even if I’m drunk.’
He sent us off with those words.
Well, it shouldn’t take that long.
We’ll quickly find Allen and the investigation team and return to Villain.
“Let’s hurry. I want to finish before sunset.”
Mona and Iris nodded quietly.
▼▼▼
“Allen~!”
“Allen~!”
“Allen-saaan!”
We called out loudly as we advanced.
However, no one responded to our voices.
Only the echoes reverberated through the ruined buildings around us.
──This is bad.
We had spent a considerable amount of time searching.
We still hadn’t found any leads.
What should we do?
“Leo, should we continue?”
Mona patted my back and asked.
This is a mess.
My anxiety started to grow when we had so little to go on. I wondered if Villain could see something… no, I shouldn’t think about that.
──It’s not good to rely on Villain. Besides, there’s no one more reliable than Villain to stay at the base.
While lamenting the unfavorable situation, I thought.
I wondered if we should change our search method, when it happened.
“a dada dadaga …”
「────!」
A figure with wet, squelching footsteps approached.
I thought it was a survivor, but there was no life in its eyes.
The figure of a dead person transformed into a monster.
A zombie…
The moment I saw it, Mona raised her spear.
Iris also assumed a posture to activate her magic.
“Be careful.”
I warned.
I listened intently.
The footsteps didn’t belong to only the zombie in front of us.
I could hear countless sounds of them crawling towards us from the distance.
We were surrounded…
“I’ll cover Leo’s blind spot.”
“Leave the support for the two of you to me!”
We got into battle formation.
For the first time since entering the Old Church City, we encountered an enemy.
But something was strange. Why did they appear so suddenly──?
We had been exploring this area quite a while now. We hadn’t sensed their presence at all.
“buagada …… …”
It wasn’t a voice.
It was a moan not unlike the mindless howling of a monster.
──We have no choice but to fight!
They showed no sign of slowing down.
They were clearly targeting us.
“gadaba!”
「──! They’re coming from behind, too!”
“Alright, leave the two of you to handle that!”
Zombies lunging at us.
Zombies running towards us.
They surged forward in a horde.
A never-ending battle had begun.
