Chapter 20 Arrival at Destination  Chapter 20 Arrival at Destination

  When Lin Yi woke up, the sunlight was already shining into the house. It was noon.

  He rubbed his sleepy eyes, got up from the bed and walked out of the room.

  In the hall, everyone was busy.

  Busujima Saeko was preparing food in the kitchen. Her movements were very graceful, and even in this environment, she still maintained a unique kind of calmness.

  Hirano Kota and Komuro Takashi were collecting and sorting the remaining supplies, classifying the useful items.

  Seeing Lin Yi get up, Busujima Saeko smiled and invited him to come for lunch.

  Although the food on the table is simple, it seems particularly precious at this moment.

  Lin Yi quickly finished his meal, then sat down with everyone else and began to discuss the details of their departure.

  After confirming that the supplies were ready, Lin Yi sat in the passenger seat of the Hummer holding the Black Abyss Sword.

  This position requires extremely strong observation and reaction abilities. Apart from Lin Yi, the only suitable person in the team is Busujima Saeko.

  The town seemed unusually silent during the day, with the houses on both sides of the street having their doors and windows tightly closed, as if their owners had become infected or were hiding in their homes shivering.

  There was an indescribable feeling of oppression in the air, which made people shudder.

  The Hummer slowly drove towards the bridge. From a distance, one could see that some cars on the bridge were still burning, with flames shooting up into the sky, illuminating the sky.

  The policemen who once held the defense line have now turned into hideous infected bodies. They gather on one side of the bridge and make creepy roars.

  Lin Yi looked at the scene in front of him with a frown on his face.

  It seems that last night's defense line was finally breached. These infected bodies are really pervasive and hard to guard against.

  "Let's take the water route. The bridge seems to be completely blocked." Lin Yi suggested.

  Shizuka Marikawa nodded and skillfully drove the Hummer towards the canal.

  This military Hummer has amphibious capabilities and can move freely even in water.

  In this way, the infected bodies will no longer pose a threat to them.

  Everyone in the car was enjoying the scenery around them. Although the infected bodies around them spoiled the view a bit, other than that, the scenery didn't change much.

  The river water is sparkling and the trees on both sides are lush and green, as if you are in a tranquil painting.

  "Just follow this river and turn left at the next intersection."

  Saya Takagi stuck her head out and showed Marikawa Shizuka the way.

  With Lin Yi around, the group set off much faster than in the original book and avoided a lot of trouble.

  Half an hour later, they finally arrived at the location of Saya Takagi's villa.

  The road was blocked by barbed wire and everyone was helpless for a while.

  Lin Yi was not panicked. He calmly took out a flare from the trunk. Although it was daytime, the distance was so close that it was enough for the people in the villa to detect the existence of the flare.

  As the gunshot sounded, the red flare cut through the sky and successfully took off.

  The gunshot also attracted the infected bodies around.

  They roared and surrounded the crowd.

  Hirano Kouta raised his gun and was about to shoot, but Lin Yi raised his hand to stop him from taking any further action.

  "Don't shoot. There aren't many infected bodies gathered here right now. Shooting will attract more infected people."

  Lin Yi took a rough glance and found that the sound of the flare gun was not loud, just similar to the sound of fireworks. Except for the infected bodies in the nearby area, the infected bodies from other places did not come over.

  Once the shooting starts, there will be more than just this number.

  Hirano Kouta had no choice but to put away the rifle in his hand.

  Lin Yi and Busujima Saeko drew their weapons and slowly moved towards the infected bodies around them.  

  As if they heard the footsteps of the two people, the infected bodies' movements became noticeably more violent, and many of them roared towards Lin Yi.

  However, ever since Lin Yi obtained the [Dead Body Virus Immunity Agent], these ordinary infected bodies have long been no longer considered a threat by Lin Yi.

  Lin Yi, holding the Black Abyss Sword, stood right in front of the group of zombies, surrounded by infected bodies surging like a tide.

  The Black Abyss Sword flashed coldly in the sunlight, like a ferocious beast choosing its prey, waiting for the opportunity to be bloodthirsty, which complemented Lin Yi's momentum.

  The infected bodies surged like a tide, roaring and rushing towards Lin Yi.

  Their bodies were twisted and deformed, their skin was festered, revealing their white bones, and their eyes were flashing red light, filled with a desire for blood.

  Lin Yi's eyes were cold, and his figure moved among the group of infected bodies like the wind.

  He swung the Black Abyss Sword, and every flash of the sword was accompanied by a shrill scream.

  The infected bodies fell down one after another, and blood splattered everywhere.

  The Black Abyss Sword in Lin Yi's hand seemed to have become a part of his body, dancing with his movements and displaying astonishing power.

  Faced with the encirclement, Lin Yi was not panicked at all.

  He leaped high into the air and slashed with his sword, splitting several infected bodies in half.

  The movements were swift and smooth, as if dancing with the Black Abyss Sword, performing a bloody dance together.

  When the last infected body fell under Lin Yi's sword, the battle ended.

  Lin Yi stood quietly in the sea of ​​blood, the bloodstains on the Black Abyss Sword looked particularly dazzling in the sunlight.

  Busujima Saeko looked at Lin Yi, complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

  She was deeply attracted by Lin Yi's violent figure just now. That powerful and cold temperament made her heart beat faster and she couldn't help but clamp her legs together.

  A few minutes later, a group of people in chemical protective suits appeared on the other side of the fence.

  When they saw Lin Yi and Busujima Saeko standing in the middle of the crowd of corpses, many of them couldn't help but gasp.

  These people were obviously shocked by the scene of the two men killing so many infected bodies.

  The leader took off the mask on his head, revealing a delicate face and long pink hair.

  She is Saya Takagi's mother, Yuriko Takagi.

  "Saya, you're finally back."

  Takagi Yuriko said gently, her eyes filled with longing and worry for her daughter.

  When Saya Takagi saw the person coming, tears welled up in her eyes and she threw herself into her mother's arms.

  The mother and daughter hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to melt all the separation and worries during this period in this hug.

  "Okay, everyone, let's go in. It's not safe here."

  Yuriko Takagi gently stroked Saya Takagi's hair to soothe her emotions.

  Then, she signaled the people behind her to start cleaning up the corpses of the infected creatures killed by Lin Yi.

  If the smell of blood is too strong, it will attract more infected bodies to gather.

  Under the leadership of Yuriko Takagi, the group finally successfully crossed the cordon.

  Looking at the security personnel coming and going around, everyone in the Hummer breathed a sigh of relief.

  The escape and fighting during this period have exhausted them physically and mentally, and now they finally have a safe haven.

  "Zhuang Yilang is outside now with his men collecting supplies, so everyone can just find a house to live in."
