Struggle against the dead.

Takagi's estate, 00:23 AM

"Hold the position" Souichiro Takagi shouted.

"AHAH…" (mix of battle cry)

"Bang… Bang" (gun shot)

Some people were bashing zombie's head like bashing melon. Some people supported from the rear of battle. No matter how they are fierce in battle, zombie is always a zombie. They stepped over the corpse and charged to the survivors. Their lifeless eyes and saliva were exposed on their face.

Souichiro Takagi along with his wife, Yuriko Takagi, were standing in the center of storm of zombie. Saya's father showed his mastery skill in sword and Saya's mother showed her skill in handgun. With each swing of Souichiro's sword, it took 4 life of deadly zombie while his wife supported him from his back, providing range shot to prevent zombie from attacking in blind sport. Saya's mother fire her handgun like a hitman in movie. Although they were fighting back bravely, their mind was full of worry and helplessness. Worry that they can't protect their own daughter or maybe die in here. Helplessness before this massive of zombie coming and having no plan to flee for their own daughter.

Nonetheless, from refugee's point of view, they were like a dancer on a opera stage. Undoubtedly, they are the one who contributed most in fencing zombie off. Seeing those two, the panic people gradually take back their calm. Soon the fear was erased, the courage prevailed their mind. Now they are no longer like before, they now have guts, resolve, determination to kill zombie. Everyone all contributed to defend this disaster with their own maximum effort and their own method.

Child transported weapons and object to block the weapon while adults will stand forward to hold the barrier. Very soon, the temporary barrier was created with bunch of sank bag and furnitures. They held tactical point very well by themselves. Because of this, the danger were dramatically reduced.

This action were motivating people's spirit.

One by one took weapon to go out to defend, many zombies were also killed in process.

Since the sound of the bomb exploded, many zombies were flooded into estate. However, refugees along with Takagi's subordinate was fighting back bravely. Although zombies were scary and numerous, people were unity together to overcome this dilemma.

"It seems like endless" Kohta said while reloading.

"Shut up and shot them" Saya said while holding cocktails.

"But I'm too tired. I've been reloading for 5 hours straight" Kohta swept his forehead

"I'm also tired too. I've also been making Molotov cocktails for 4 hours straight."

"I'm so tired" Shizuka's sensei added.

"I know. Our survival depended on this, sensei"

"Young generation nowadays have too much energy. Not like me." sensei pouted.

Takashi walked hurried back to the rear of battle.

"Where are cocktails you make" he breathed heavily.

"Over there" Shizuka's sensei pointed towards the box of molotov cocktails.

"Okay, help me with this, Kohta" Takashi leaned against the box.

"I can't. I'm on firing now"

"Let's me help you" Saya proposed.

"It's …"

"Dangerous … it's fine. This time I will prove my father that I am mature"

"But …"

"It's okay. We are in same situation now." Saya picked two boxes in same time.

"If you say so" Takashi want to say something but stopped at middle. The situation don't allow him to speak.

"Bring this to uncle Matsudo" Takashi dragged 4 boxes.

With that, the two of them brought boxes to the guard.

"Here are all cocktails" Saya put the boxes down. Although she was sighing heavily, she tried to express that she was fine.

"I appreciated your action, daughter but you have to go back" Saya's voice spoke. Although it was spoken from afar, they can hear it very clearly.

"Father, I want to help. I'm no longer your immature girl anymore" Saya said while picking the cocktails up to inspect.

"Darling"

"Mother, I'm fine. Just only this time I have a moment with two of you" Saya threw the cocktails to bunch of zombies. The fire was spread and nearby zombies was burned.

"Seem like you don't take my advice, very well. Just standing behind"

"Yes, father"

"They are coming, boss"

"Everyone picks the cocktails and throws them" With the command, everyone who was tired immediately stood up and picked the cocktails.

"Watch out" hearing the warning, people from front line was retreated. The rain of cocktails was poured into those cannibals.

The fire was spread very quickly because they are corpse and also with the help of the wind of night. Immediately, Saya's estate became the brightest at this point. If using fire, the survivors are easy dead from suffocating but there is no much choice. The number of zombie was enormous and fire was effective against this big numbers.

"Stay back,"

Zombies were on fire which caused them to retreat. They used this short period to take the rest and made a new barrier. After all, it took time to complete burn the corpse.

"take a sip, senpai" Takashi handed a bottle of water to Saeko.

She is the third person that killed most of zombies with her new sword.

"Thank." Saeko received the bottle and drank it in one breath.

"So how the situation, senpai" Saya asked.

"Not good. The night is long and people start getting tired." Saeko commented.

This is indeed a true fact. People are losing their courage and their fear will come back soon. Some people was bitten in the resistance which impacts the moral of people here.

"That's right. We need a breakthrough or we will lose. That's why I want you to escape." Souichiro said with a stern expression.

"My beloved daughter, I don't know much about Jean but she looks very suspicious."

"Mother, Jean just need time. We need to stall for her"

"Sorry if I'm saying this but somehow I don't like Jean" Takashi expressed.

"You …"

"I don't know what to say but seeing she escapes alone make me feel somewhat uncomfortable. I don't know if really caring us or it's just a act"

"Don't be rude, Takashi. You have seen how she crafted guns and ammo."

"She is really amazing since she can do that but we only know her for 4 days." Rei added.

"It must have something that she can truly help us. You need to believe in miracle. That is what Jean tells me" Saya tried to defend.

"Well, you know. The situation is not good. I wonder what weapon that can solve this" Takashi pointed at crowd of zombies.

"Technically …" Saya tried very hard to come up a explain but her attitude somehow made Takashi feel slightly angry.

"Break the talk. They are coming" Saeko interfered their talk.

"If you want to know, you have to wait. I believe in Saya's sight" With that, Saeko charged.

"Maybe we need to place out belief in Jean this time" Rei added.

"Whatever. Let's beat them and leave out of here" Takashi cocked his shotgun and aimed at zombies.

"Bang"

With the gun's sound, the second battle begins.

….

Meanwhile

I sneezed for some unknown reason. From my experience, some one don't believe in me. This thing usually happened at musical festival time in my past. At that time, I always nominated myself to be a leader a musical group but they don't believe me. I sneezed all days after declaring this. As a result, I believe I sneeze because someone don't believe me. That is what I thought after years of learning my karma.

Well, it's true that I ruined musical festival in the end. It's just that they don't feel my incredible tones and melody.

Secret 1: Jean's bad at music despite her love of music.

Now you questioned my EQ. How offended.

I, Jean Sophia, never leaves someone behind. I promised this with myself in the past.

Suddenly, a sound was reverberated.

"Holy ground, window. Some zombies was entering through the window." I recoiled.

"My time don't have much. If zombies want to enter here, they must pass that only door" I looked at the door which was blocked with generator and many traps.

"Good enough. Now Arc reaction is responding stable at the moment. If I keep this at this pace, I can complete sooner than I thought." I quickly coded the system for armor.

"thud … thud"

"Good grief. Now they are battering the door."

Seeing the situation now well, I quickly coded at four time more than my normal.

"Mrs. Door. I believe in you holding them back"

The sound of gear and engine were roaring. The machine was placing armor plate and microchips on armor.

"I'm the flash. I can do this" I encouraged myself.
