Chapter 23, Attack from the Underground
"...There was no grand farewell ceremony, no exciting horns and salutes, we just quietly attacked from the ground. Behind us were mutilated corpses, in front was an unknown fate, and countless difficulties and obstacles were waiting. We are waiting for us to conquer them one by one..."
Standing in the small cabin, Ma Tong sighed with a melancholy expression in a voice like an aria.
"...Hey, Senior Ma Tong, don't try to imitate the lyricism of a German submarine captain! If you have the strength, wouldn't you wind a clockwork?"
Classmate Wang Qiu, who was upset, moved his eyes away from the periscope and scolded Ma Tong impatiently.
——At this moment, more than twenty people were crowded into the small cabin of the [Clockwork Submarine]. Although ventilation equipment was installed on the bulkhead, it was not designed to carry so many people at once. Coupled with sweat and body odor, the air in the cabin was very turbid and stuffy, which was very uncomfortable.
"...How's it going? Where are we now? Haven't we reached the Obetsu River yet?"
Saya Takagi drank the last bit of water in the plastic mineral water bottle in one gulp, wiped her face with a soaked handkerchief, and asked weakly.
Beside her, three boys, Komuro Takashi, Igo Nagai and Hirano Toda, were gritting their teeth and using all their energy to wind up the submarine - the winding hole was set on the outside of the hull. Compared with the old version [clockwork submarine] that requires someone to get out and insert the key every time to wind up, the new version [clockwork submarine] with the clockwork hole set in the cabin has better endurance. Even weaker, it has to stop and wind up the ship every 100 meters of diving.
Therefore, the three boys were taking turns turning the huge clockwork key almost non-stop, and were now so tired that they almost collapsed.
As for the rest of the girls, they were sweating profusely in the small cabin, their clothes were soaked, and they even tore off their clothes without shame.
"...I'm sorry, I don't know anything about the geography of your host city! I only know that I just passed a McDonald's fast food restaurant, and now my line of sight is blocked by a few dogs...Oh, damn! This stupid The dog peed on my periscope!”
Wang Qiu muttered angrily while looking down at the map and compass, "...Doraemon, turn left twenty degrees and keep going!"
——Snorkeling under the ground, using such a low-level wind-up toy. Obviously there is no GPS positioning device, and it relies entirely on the periscope for guidance. However, Wang Qiu knows nothing about the road conditions in this area and looks at the map. There was no way to get on the road, so we could only blindly follow the compass and head west.
Fortunately, the terrain in this area is relatively flat, so the [Clockwork Submarine] did not rush out of any cliff and fall to pieces.
"...McDonald's? Oh my god, that is to say, we only walked three kilometers in a full hour, which is slower than a bicycle!"
After hearing this and thinking about it for a moment, Saya Gaocheng cried out in disappointment, "...how long will it take to get to my house?"
"...I can't help it. Don't look at how high-end and classy Doraemon praises this thing, but to put it bluntly, it's just a large wind-up toy. It can only move at the same speed as a turtle - do you think this Is it the Tokyo subway?" Wang Qiu replied disapprovingly.
"...But, I can't bear it any longer!" Saya Gaocheng's face changed for a while, seemingly embarrassed, but in the end she blushed in despair and told the truth, "...It seemed like she drank too much water just now. Too much, so I’m anxious to go to the toilet!”
"...Toilet? Sorry! This thing was originally a children's entertainment device, not a real means of transportation, so there is no such thing."
After Doraemon, who was steering the ship at the front of the cabin, heard this, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, then took out a small bag of light things from his pocket, turned around and threw it in the direction of Saya Takagi, "...if you really can't hold it in anymore. , just use this to top it up! Gao Cheng! ”
Saya Takagi took the package and took a look at it suspiciously, then she was stunned. Her face, which was already flushed with blood, became even more red: "...diapers?! You...what do you mean? You want me?" Is it shameful for the lady to play in public here?”
"...Oh, it's already here, what else do you need to pay attention to? It would be nice to have diapers! Do you want us to come up immediately and find a toilet for you under the siege of zombies? I said to this eldest lady Ah, it’s much better to play peeing and shameful play with familiar classmates here than to play strange and sadistic play with the screaming zombies, don’t you think?”
While turning the periscope, Wang Qiu sighed and said, "...Miss Gaocheng, I am not cursing you. But if you are clearly in the cruel end of the world where people cannibalize people, but you are unwilling to throw away something as superfluous as shame, You will definitely die miserably..."

In fact, compared with those on the ground who are already in purgatory, the small aggrievedness of the underground refugees is simply not worth mentioning.
Since the disaster, the traffic situation in Bedlord City has collapsed. Several major highways have been blocked. The fleeing citizens in the car are anxiously waiting for the road ahead to clear up, while watching in horror the hordes of living dead. Wander far away. The local government and police can't come up with any effective measures, because the capital Tokyo is also in panic. It's not that the government or police are irresponsible, but that no organization has any good way to deal with this situation. They usually The daily drills and emergency plans that were conducted were, at best, at the level of suppressing riots and arresting terrorists. But now they had to face something like zombies that completely transcended common sense, and they were somewhat helpless.
As a result, Bed Host City quickly turned into a slaughterhouse, where living people and zombies fought bloody battles with each other - through the periscope, Wang Qiu saw with his own eyes the baby turned into a zombie biting off the mother's neck, tearfully Husband smashes wife's head with stick as desperate thugs attack house Districts and shopping streets were set on fire... There was also a tattooed, shirtless man who looked like a gang boss. He grinned and yelled: "Hahaha, it's like purgatory!" while shooting his younger brothers who had turned into zombies. Until the last bullet was fired, he was finally overwhelmed by the corpses.
——Perhaps for this boss, instead of struggling to survive in such a nightmare-like world of despair, it would be better to simply die!
In this apocalyptic world where people cannibalize people, all family ties, friendships and interpersonal relationships have become so fragile. One moment you are desperately protecting your relatives and loved ones, but the next moment you may be scratched and infected, and you may be shot in the head with a stick - what's more, you may be thrown directly into the zombie's stinky teeth. It was just to buy him ten seconds to escape.
There is no way, this is the end of the world, if you want to survive, sometimes it is inevitable to give up some other things.
For example, conscience, morality, self-esteem, family affection, and even... chastity!
——Just within the range that Wang Qiu could see through the periscope, there was a white-collar professional girl with a rather innocent appearance. She even took off her clothes and posed in public, just to ask a few yellow-haired gangsters who drove over to open the car door. , pull her up to escape together...
The ugliness of reality, the despair of fate, and the struggle of instinct are all revealed at this moment, which makes people sigh. In comparison, Takagi Saya, who has never suffered any crime along the way, but is still throwing out the temper of a young lady, seems quite an eyesore - an arrogant girl who is tired of rubbing, especially an arrogant girl who lacks fighting ability. This kind of creature is really not popular in the cruel apocalypse where humans cannibalize humans!
