Chapter 12 TV Tokyo is interrupting the news
The sun gradually sets in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun gently shines on the campus of Tatemi Fujimi Gakuen, adding a touch of sadness to this land that was once full of laughter.
The rampage of infected bodies plunged the campus into deathly silence and terror, as if it had been forgotten by the world.
After a period of rest, the pain of Jing Haoyong's wounds also eased under the professional treatment of Marikawa Shizuka.
After taking a look at the infected bodies wandering downstairs, Lin Yi took a deep breath and said, "Okay, next we have to go to the staff room of the office building to get the car keys. Pay attention to safety along the way."
Everyone nodded to show their understanding.
Immediately afterwards, they began to take action. In order to increase protection, they wore as many layers of clothes as possible in case of emergencies.
Although doing so will slightly reduce their agility, the extra protection undoubtedly increases their hope of survival when faced with an infected organism.
Komuro Takashi and others put on their rugby hats and carefully removed the tables, chairs and benches piled at the rooftop exit to prepare for the next action.
On the way to the lobby on the first floor, Rei Miyamoto deliberately went around to the second floor to visit the survivors in hiding, trying to persuade them to join the team and leave together.
However, when these girls learned that Lin Yi and others planned to leave the teaching building and go to the office building, their faces immediately showed fear and uneasiness.
They all expressed that they wanted to stay where they were and were unwilling to risk going to unknown places.
Seeing their nervous and determined expressions, Miyamoto Rei had complicated emotions in her heart. She understands that everyone has their own choices and decisions, and she cannot and cannot force them to take risks.
Therefore, Rei Miyamoto can only silently wish these people and hope that they can survive this difficult time safely.
Lin Yi stood on the first floor of the teaching building, carefully observing the infected people outside through the window.
Compared with the morning, the number of infected people outside the teaching building has been significantly reduced, with only a dozen or so wandering aimlessly nearby.
Lin Yi speculated that as time goes by, some infected people may have left or no longer linger in this area for other reasons.
This observation was good news to him because it meant that the threat they faced was reduced.
He turned around and made a gesture. This was a signal to Komuro Takashi, Miyamoto Rei and Busujima Saeko, indicating that they were ready to take action.
These few people are the core fighting force of the team, and it is more than enough for them to deal with these small numbers of infected people.
In the brief confrontation, they accurately and effectively sent the infected wandering nearby back to hell one by one.
After clearing the threats on the road, Lin Yi waved his hand to the back, indicating that they could bring Jing Haoyong over.
With the close cooperation of everyone, they successfully passed through the periphery of the teaching building and advanced towards the office building.
After entering the office building, Lin Yi adopted the same strategy and found a solid object to block the door to ensure safety.
Fortunately, the virus outbreak occurred during school hours and the number of infected people in the office building was not high.
This made everyone's tense nerves relax a little.
However, for Komuro Takashi, his heart was filled with anger.
He looked at the classmates and teachers whom he had known so well day and night, but now turned into this terrifying appearance, and the anger in his heart burned brightly.
He clenched the weapon in his hand and mercilessly killed the infected one by one.
Every wave seemed to be venting his inner dissatisfaction and anger.
It wasn't until the last infected person fell that Komuro Takashi stopped panting, and the anger in his heart calmed down a little.
In the staff room, the afterglow of the setting sun softly shines through the windows and onto the neat desks, giving the homework books a golden sheen.
This office, which used to be busy and noisy, is now immersed in tranquility, as if time has quietly stopped at this moment.
After experiencing a series of tensions and dangers, everyone's nerves were finally able to relax a little.
After confirming that there were no infected persons in the room, they put down their weapons and began to search for useful supplies in an orderly manner. Komuro Takashi leaned tiredly on the office chair. He tried to turn on the TV, hoping to get some valuable information from it.
The flashing images and sounds on the TV screen add a bit of life to this quiet space.
"Urgent news! Urgent news!" the reporter on the TV said in an urgent voice.
"The government has begun to discuss emergency countermeasures regarding whether to dispatch the Self-Defense Forces to maintain law and order, but currently both the ruling party and the opposition party have denied this."
At this critical moment, neither the ruling party nor the opposition party wants to give political opponents a reason to use the Self-Defense Forces in violation of the constitution and affect the upcoming general election.
"When did this happen? Those politicians above are still hesitating whether to send the army. What are they thinking?" Hearing this, Komuro Takashi punched his desk angrily, his voice echoing in the empty office. Echoes within.
He could not understand how, at a time when the country was in an unprecedented crisis, those government officials could be so indifferent and selfish, only caring about their own political interests and ignoring the safety of people's lives.
At this moment, Komuro Takashi suddenly understood Lin Yi's previous decision. Lin Yi did not communicate with the Japanese government in advance, so he probably saw through the true colors of these politicians.
If it were him, he would probably make the same choice as Lin Yi - not to cooperate with this group of guys who only compete for power and profit and ignore the suffering of the people.
Busujima Saeko glanced at Komuro Takashi calmly. Seeing that he was a little out of control, he silently picked up the remote control and changed the TV station.
The newly replaced TV station is a local channel in Saitama Prefecture, which is also paying close attention to this sudden virus disaster.
Different from the reports seen before, this time the TV report did not use the term "zombie", but instead called these infected people the victims of the "murderous disease".
The subtle difference reflects a gradual shift in media and public perceptions of the disaster.
On the TV screen, the scene behind the reporter was chaotic.
The police are trying their best to fight the infected, but they obviously don't know enough about the characteristics of the infected.
Many police officers are in the habit of shooting infected people in the legs in an attempt to knock them out.
However, this approach has almost no effect on these infected individuals who have lost their sense of touch.
Even if they were shot in the legs, they would just stagger and then continue to move forward stubbornly dragging their broken bodies.
Suddenly, the picture on the TV screen began to shake violently, and then the camera was slammed to the ground.
What came next was the screams of photographers and reporters outside the screen. This sudden change made everyone in front of the TV feel frightened.
The next second, the TV screen completely plunged into darkness, leaving only those piercing screams and chaotic shouts echoing in the empty staff room.
Busujima Saeko shook her head gently. She switched to TV Tokyo, and a food variety show that was originally broadcast was suddenly interrupted.
The host accepted an urgent note, and his originally relaxed and cheerful expression instantly turned solemn.
He began to broadcast the current infection situation seriously, with an unprecedented sense of urgency in his tone.
"How is it possible? Even TV Tokyo has started to report this kind of thing. Is it really going to end the world?" Kota Hirano couldn't accept this sudden reality. He knelt down weakly on the ground, his face full of shock and confusion. Unbelievable.
Everyone was also shocked speechless by this sudden change.
Upon seeing this, Busujima Saeko decisively turned off the TV. She did not want this panic to continue to spread and affect the morale of the entire team.
Rei Miyamoto stared blankly at the black screen of the TV, feeling confused and confused in her heart like a tide.
"What should I do?" She murmured to herself, her voice revealing endless confusion and helplessness.
She took out her cell phone again and tried to call home with a glimmer of hope.
However, the only thing that came from the receiver was the cold busy tone, which seemed to be mocking her helplessness and despair.
