27 The Mall

Okumura Rin POV

With me driving Lucy on the front leading our group, we head to Taiei Shopping town. My purpose to go there is to save Nakaoka Asami.

I don't like her personality-wise. But she is one of few people in this world who still care and think about others. Even though she reminds me of Rei so much.

Suddenly I feel a hand pinch my right cheeks.

(AN: Rin is using America Production Car so the stirring wheel is on the left, while in Japan they use right. BTW Shizuka was surprised when she drives The Humvee for the first time because it's stirring wheel is on the left.)

"You just think something rude about me right?" Rei asks while glaring at me.

"Ish jush your imaginahsion..."

(Translation: It's just your imagination)

(AN: I need to actually pinch my cheek while talking to write this part, tell me if it's not good enough.)

Saeko and Alice laugh at their behavior while Zeke just happily bark.

"They are really close to each other."

"Right..."

This trip won't be so bad if the world is not dying and my friends are still alive.

Sadly reality says otherwise, so here we are.

Near the mall, I found Matsushima, who is already turned into a zombie.

"Guys, we will enter the Mall." I suggest to those who are in the Humvee using Walky Talky.

"Okay, if you say so." Saya replies to me.

We park our cars, then kill nearby zombies as silent as possible.

Which meant Juliet can't use her Chainsaw, but she gets a broad sword from me.

She along with Saeko and Rei have received Blue Aura from Master slash and stab zombies easily using their respective weapons.

Kohta has a Suppressed 50cal Desert Eagle.

There's a common idea among people who get their gun education from movies and video games that all you need to make a firearm completely silent (or at least barely as loud as someone whispering) is to attach a silencer to the front of it.

For the record, they are sometimes called "silencers," but they are still far from silencing a shot. The more accurate term is a firearm "suppressor."

A suppressor works by dampening the gas that leaves the barrel after each shot. Inside the tube of the suppressor are rings, called baffles, that slow down the gas.

When a round is fired normally, the gas leaves the barrel super hot and concentrated — creating a loud bang sound. When fired out of a suppressed firearm, the gas is slowed by the baffles and leaves cooler and dispersed, creating a less-loud phut sound.

For the "pew" that comes out from a gun in a certain cool Hollywood Spy Movies with a British agent in a black tuxedo, that is entirely a work of fiction.

(AN: BTW, I don't say the movies I was talking about *Cough* James Bond *Cough* is bad. In fact, I Was a fan of the series.)

The Magazine was not a normal one. It was [Infinite Magazine], which meant it will never run out of bullets.

Something I got from Daily Log-in Bonus several days ago.

Kohta was trained by the US military contractor Blackwater USA when he went on a month-long trip to America. He has a strong mentality, high accuracy, and vast knowledge of firearms.

With Gold Aura to enhance his talent and Planetary Projection to support him. You don't want to be his target, even if he only uses a Nambu.

Nambu at first glance is similar to the famous German Luger P-08, with added security that can only be operated, if the user's hands are completely free.

This weapon is lacking power, complex, rigid to use, and extremely unsafe.

Since the gunshot is coming from its side, it will be easy for this weapon to accidentally shoot itself. The bullet will likely explode before it is completely in the direction of the barrel, and is considered more dangerous to the user than the target.

Many American soldiers take this gun home as War Trophies.

(AN: It's not very important so don't mind it too much)

With the parking are clear we get into the mall and split up into 2 groups.

The first group job is to gather food and search for survivors inside. Of course, they need to make sure they are friendly or hostile first before making any contact.

The second one is the attack group and protects group, this group job is killing Zombies or Humans that attack us and protect the first group while they are doing their job.

Alice, Yuuki, Saya, and Shizuka-sensei in the first group, while Kohta, Juliet, Saeko, Rei, and me in the second group.

Saya and Kohta were collecting meat from the freezer they found until we hear several footsteps coming in our direction.

We prepare to attack until we see it's just another group of survivors with a Police Woman as their leader.

"Hey, you kids stop! We were planning to smoke or dry the raw meat! You need to follow the rules!" One of the survivors scolds us.

"Shimada-san you don't need to act like that to kids, plus they just arrive here so they don't know the rules." The Policewoman come between us and stop the man.

"Asami is Nakaoka Asami, Asami the one in charge here, nice to meet you!" She introduces herself in Third Person view.

Police officers in Japan do talk in third person when they are talking, but they use "This officer", not their name.

This proves that she didn't do well during her time at the police academy.

The way she talks in Third Person is killing me!

" Shut up! You just in charge until help comes!" The man that scolds us yells at her as he pointing her face.

I don't want to stay for too long in here.

Evolution will happen soon, I don't want to waste my time "helping" these people.

"Help? Are you talking about another officer like her?" I pretend to act like I don't know what is happening and ask.

"Yes! Asami superior, Officer Matsushima is searching for help, have you seen her?"

She is too naïve, believing everything will go just fine.

"I saw here on our way, but she already becomes one of them." I drop the bomb on their face.

Asami falls on her knees with an empty look in her eyes and she starts to cry.

Seeing Kohta crouch down and try to calm her.

I look at the other survivors, they look scared and worried knowing that the help they are waiting for will never come.

"I will search for a bus, all of you can go to Takagi estate if no one here doesn't mind."

Hearing my suggestion they get new hope and start preparing for their departure.

I go to the opposite of the entrance and take out the bus that we are supposed to "ditch" at Rika-san place.

I drive it back and was welcomed by Asami who already look good.

"You are still a High School student, Asami can't let you go without warning!"

I look at her with a deadpan face and laugh dryly.

'At this condition, she still able to talk like that...'

Yup, she is just like Rei.

"Moo you think something rude about right?!" Rei asks me while stomping her right foot to the ground.

"I swear this time I don't."

"So you really did before!"

The old couple says "Youth..." at the same time, causing others to laugh at us.

"But I was jealous of you, Miyamoto-san, to make him think about you this much is..."

Rei faces blush then she looks away.

Shizuka-sensei came to Rei and pat her head while saying, "There...There..."

Saya and Yuuki pulling my shirt while giving me a look that says, "What about us?".

" Kohta, Officer Asami take some guns with you. Just shot if you really need to. Head directly at Takagi estate, understand?"

Both nod at me and begin loading guns they take with them.

I don't give guns to others so Kohta and Asami can have full control of the groups.

We separate with some extra food from the mall, but this time Kohta and Yuuki is not with us.

It will be better if the group have someone that able to lead and unite them like Asami and Kohta, for Yuuki...

I just don't want to put her at risk.

So I trick her and "trust" her with a mission to "Don't let Kohta stop for any reason".

I feel bad for tricking her. But this is for her own good.

'Great, now I sound like Dumbledore.'

"I was glad now the car has more space! Plus there won't be any pig smell!" Saya pretends to be happy and shouts to the sky.

She is not that close to Kohta, but for her, Kohta is a good friend without hidden attention when he interacts with her.

"Don't worry, he will be okay. He is tougher than he looks."

"Who is worry? You are worried! After all, that pig is your friend!" She begins to shout angrily, but her face is red from embarrassment.

"First, he is my friend so don't call him a pig. Second, he is also your friend."

She walks to me and cries on my chest, not wanting to be seen like this right now.

Such a Tsundere, make me want to bully her.

"I wonder if I leave will you cry for me like that or not?" I ask with a naughty smile.

"Don't think about doing anything stupid!" She yells to warning me from doing any idea I have in my mind to tease her.

"Yes, yes, Oujo-sama~" I answer her with an amused tone and smile.

"Who you call Oujo-sama! I am a genius!"

Not bad... really not bad if I must say...
