7 Thermoception

In the anime, Miyamoto Rei called her dad, but there was a problem on the other side and the connection was lost after a while.

He is now planning to let her call her dad earlier. Maybe there will be an unexpected development.

"Before we make a plan, do any of you have a phone and need to make a call to your 'parents' or some other 'number'?" Sato asked, hinting at the word 'parents' and 'number'.

Miyamoto Rei suddenly realized something and turned toward Komuro Takashi, "I just remember that my dad gave me a secret number, Takashi, lend me your phone."

Komuro Takashi gave Miyamoto Rei his phone. She received it and quickly dialed a private number she was given by her dad.

After a few seconds, the call was answered, "Hello?"

Hearing her dad's voice, Rei said, "Dad!"

"Rei, is that you?"

"Yes, it's me, dad, I am now stuck at the Fujimi Academy rooftop," said Rei then quickly asked "Are you and mom fine? Where are you?"

"I don't have much time to talk. Your mom is probably doing fine at home, you know her. An outbreak is happening right now! Our group will evacuate to Shintoko Third Elementary School! I hope you can take care of yourself! Damn! They are coming! I am sorry Rei, but I need to end this call." The call ended without giving Rei a chance to say anything more.

"Dad! Dad!" She kept calling her dad as she still did not realize the call had ended.

To prevent her from making loud noises, he patted her shoulder and said, "The call has ended. Let's think about what we are going to do."

Miyamoto Rei disappointedly put down the phone.

"So let me talk about my plan. I think we should go to the school's staff room to get a car key and get out of this school." he proposed his plan.

The two listenings nodded without any objection.

His plan sounds simple, but it's harder to perform.

Well, maybe it's not.

He knows the zombie's weakness and if used well, then his plan can be executed without any problems.

In the anime, they never showed what's inside the astronomy observatory and he has been a little bit curious.

What does it look like inside? Since he now has a chance to see, why not take it.

"Since we will break out, then we will need weapons. Let's go to the astronomy observatory and see what's inside, I haven't looked inside." Sato said.

The three of them opened the door and looked inside.

The room had no windows and in the middle of the room was a huge telescope, to the left of the telescope was a table. On the table were some snacks and water.

Without hesitation, Sato walked to the table and packed all the snacks and water into his backpack.

When he came to this world, his backpack still had a lot of space left, but he didn't bring more things since he didn't want the weight to hinder his movement.

Ever since he touched some corpses, his stats have risen and now he could bear more weight. His backpack's current total weight is 7 kg.

He now understands why those producers didn't show what's inside the astronomy observatory.

It's too bland. There's really nothing here.

Since there's nothing useful here, he decided to just go with how the anime developed. "*sigh*, there's nothing here. Let's use the fire hose to take down the zombies at the stair. Then we will break out."

"Alright, Miyamoto-san, go and prepare to turn on the water, Komuro-kun, you hold the fire hose and aim at the zombies! I will stand beside you to make sure no mistake happens even if the water can't push them." Sato commanded.

The two of them nodded at Sato, as a sign they understood. They quickly performed their task and were ready to go.

Noticing they are ready, he still decided to ask to make sure, "Is it ready?"

"Yeah!" Rei responded.

Takashi just gave a nod.

Komuro Takashi is really a qualified thug. He won't say anything unnecessary and will execute all orders with a nod.

Not!

Komuro Takashi will only listen to him right now since they are in the same boat and he doesn't have a better plan.

But it doesn't matter.

Just being able to order a main character like a thug already satisfied his own little pride.

"Turn it on!" At his order, the water ejected out of the fire hose.

The water pressure was very powerful. The barricade and zombies were swept by the water with almost no resistance.

"Turn it off, all the zombies are down!" Sato said when he saw all the zombies were down.

When the fire hose stopped shooting water, he went down and finished off the zombies, at the same time taking the opportunity to touch the corpses.

[Drop: [Sojutsu: Lv2], [Energy]+1

[Drop: [Corpse Coin]+3]

[Drop: [Judo: Lv2], [Defense]+5

[Drop: [Archer: Lv2], [Power]+1, [Corpse Coin]+1]

…

20 killing streaks.

Ye Sato total drop: [Sojutsu: Lv 2], [Judo: Lv 2], [Archer: Lv2], [Cooking: Lv3], [Kendo: Lv2], [Gymnastic: Lv2], [Swimming: Lv3], [Power]+11, [Defense]+8, [Energy]+14, [Corpse Coin]+20.

All his three stats have risen to twice that of an average person!

Knowledge surged into his mind and his body was once again strengthened.

Ye Sato's body swelled up once again but the other two didn't notice.

His body which looked like an average person is now full of lean muscles.

He also received information about his body. It will no longer change anymore, even if he acquires more stats in the future. That means his body is now perfectly optimized.

It doesn't matter how many stats he gets in the future, he will stay like how he is now, but his strength will of course change.

He is very satisfied to get to know that his body won't keep growing.

If his body change is proportioned with his stats points, then he will keep on growing bigger and bigger. And that's not something he wants.

Since there are people here, he can't check if his little brother has grown. No, not little brother. It's big, so it should be called big brother.

After he finished the last zombie, he turned around and took a look.

Komuro Takashi and Miyamoto Rei had just got down the stairs. They are seriously slow.

If we followed the anime track, then right now, Takashi and Rei should be fighting together to deepen their feelings. But this isn't the anime so what's happening right now is she looking at him and completely forgetting about Komuro Takashi.

As for fighting together to deepen their feelings? Try to find a zombie alive first before even thinking about fighting.

He looked at the oncoming duo, "Alright, I got every zombie. Now I will need to rely on you two since I don't know the way in this school."

"Ye-san, you are so amazing," she said, feeling Ye Sato is really strong and reliable.

Komuro Takashi also felt shocked at Ye Sato's fighting power. But he will of course not show it.

How could he praise his enemy?

"This is nothing. As long as you know their weakness, then you should also be able to do it, like how I did," Sato replied.

Even if he said it lightly, only he knew it was quite dangerous. One mistake and it's over for him.

While fighting with those zombies, he found those zombies had developed a sense of heat. Or to make it sound fancier, the zombies have developed thermoception.

This means that if you are close to a zombie, then they will be able to sense you, even if you remain silent.

Thankfully his weapon is a staff and the staff had quite a long-range, giving him a way to deal with those zombies.

But you can also say that he survived because of luck.

If it were not because the sun shined on the zombies and reduced the effectiveness of their thermoception, then he would probably be lying on the ground now.

From now on he needs to be more careful. He can't rely on luck.
