Ch 019. Task Reward

Eriri could clearly smell the white smoke drifting from the muzzle of the gun.

Tomoya Aki still maintained the posture of charging forward with the wooden spike in his right hand.

The only difference was that he could no longer use the slightest bit of strength in his body. After staggering two steps forward, his whole body stood quietly in place like a petrified sculpture.

"you..."

He glanced at the trembling Eriri in disbelief, then lowered his head slightly with effort, and saw a bloody hole in his chest in a daze.

After a few seconds, his body fell forward limply.

He opened his mouth slightly, struggling to breathe fresh air, but he could only cough up a few mouthfuls of blood foam, and a pair of cloudy pupils stared at the two people not far away.

"I...killed..."

With a absent-minded murmur, Eriri could no longer maintain her posture, and the feeling of fear completely swept her heart.

"I killed..."

She repeated it with a dull expression, her petite body trembling.

Before yesterday, she was a carefree high school girl.

Now, not only has she harvested a fresh life, this person... is also her former friend.

"I..."

Just when she was about to repeat her crimes again, driven by guilt, a familiar and warm hand interrupted her.

"Yao..."

Looking at Amamiya yao's completely softened face, Eriri could no longer restrain the fear and guilt in her heart, her eyes filled with tears.

The beautiful sky-blue gem-like pupils are set off by tears and light, making them look crystal clear and lovable.

"It's okay." Amamiya Yao smiled and kneaded her head, comforting her softly, "Eriri has done a good job. You fulfilled your promise."

Under his gentle comfort, Eriri twitched her nose a few times, staring at him, not daring to look away.

"Yao... let's go." She hugged Amamiya Yao's waist and buried her face in his chest.

Amamiya Yao caressed her golden hair, and when he was about to leave, he found that she was still buried in his chest, motionless.

"I am so tired..."

After a while, Eriri's muffled voice sounded.

"Then take a break."

Amamiya Yao smiled slightly, understood what she really wanted to express, and squatted down with his back to her.

Looking at his generous back, Eriri didn't climb up immediately, but stroked it with her hands. The warm and comfortable touch made the deepest part of her eyes flash past the nostalgia she didn't realize.

Lying on his back with her legs clamped around his waist, the sense of security made Eriri's inner fear fade away, but the sense of guilt was like a poisonous snake, unwilling to let go.

In order to completely downplay this uncomfortable feeling, Eriri selectively forgot the experience just now, and her voice was slightly expectant.

"go home!"

As the two gradually moved away, a violent cough broke out here.

"Cough...cough..."

Big mouthfuls of blood kept pouring out of his mouth. The warm scene just now made Tomoya Aki heart full of resentment, but in order to survive and take revenge, he could only grit his teeth now.

He lay motionless on the ground. Although the bullet hit his chest just now, it didn't hit a vital point.

The desire to survive made his eyes glow with fiery light, and he still had the hope of living.

However, he seems to have overlooked an extremely important factor, the huge gunshots, which caused more than just physical wounds.

When he was about to try to get up, a few rough hands reached all over his body, and a stench of decay entered his nostrils.

Then, the piercing pain completely overwhelmed him.

…

Just as Amamiya Yao walked out of the school gate, the system's notification sounded.

[Task: Escape from the campus (completed); reward- points +100, current remaining points: 197. ]

Amamiya Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes stayed on the points, and he sorted out his income and expenditure while walking.

Two ordinary pistols (unlimited magazines) cost 160 points.

The two stainless steel weapons, plus the weapons that were exchanged at the beginning, cost about 40 points, and the last two grenades just now, a total of 280 points were consumed.

Income: blood rain +100 points, tasks +100 points, mutant zombies +50 points, ordinary zombies contributed 227 points, a total of 477 points.

Amamiya Yao shook his head. The points seemed to be sufficient, but the points needed to exchange for higher-level weapons would increase exponentially. Fortunately, the weapons did not need to be changed for the time being.

Sure enough, those two grenades were worth it.

Mentioning this kind of money-losing goods, Amamiya Yao's face couldn't help but darken a little.

A grenade costs 40 points. If it is used to deal with ordinary zombies, it will take about 26 dead to pay back the cost. If you want to use this to earn points, you are thinking too much.

Unless a large number of zombies are stuffed into something like a container, this weapon should still be used against opponents that are difficult to deal with directly with cold weapons, such as the mutated zombie just now.

Just as he was thinking, the two girls who had stepped out of the school earlier approached.

Looking at the motionless Eiriri who buried her face in his neck, Kasumigaoka Utaha teased, "Is Sawamura-san so tired tthatshe fell asleep?"

Hearing the voice of her arch-enemy, Eriri lifted her head imperceptibly, but she didn't choose to quarrel as usual.

"Things look bad."

Knowing that she needs to be quiet now, Amamiya Yao naturally put this topic aside, and calmly stared at the scene in front of him.

Distressed streets, cars parked everywhere, countless corpses lying on the ground, and finally zombies wandering around looking for food.

"Would you like to take a look at the bridge?" Saeko Busujima pondered for a moment, before expressing her thoughts, "I just heard on the radio of a car that the army seems to have set up a defense line there."

"go home..."

Before Amamiya Yao could answer, the girl's weak voice came to his ears from behind.

Amamiya Yao caressed her legs wrapped around his waist, indicating that he had not forgotten his promise.

"I'm going to take Eriri home, what's your opinion?"

The two women in front of them looked at each other and gave their answers.

"I'm also planning to go back to the shrine." Saeko Busujima caressed the stainless steel blade in her hand. Although it was a good knife, she preferred to fight with the weapons passed down from generation to generation by the Busujima family.

"Well... since Sawamura-san wants to go home." Kasumigaoka Utaha subconsciously showed a playful smile, and her voice was extremely natural, "As a team member, I can only reluctantly agree."

This extremely angry tone made Eriri to raise her head angrily: "Don't follow if you don't want to!"

"Ah, ah, Sawamura-san seems to have regained her strength." Kasumigaoka Utaha's lips curled up, watching her legs firmly clamping Amamiya Yao's waist, "Then let Yao-kun go."

Eriri blushed a little, and buried her face back with a hum.

Feeling the tightness of the legs clamped around his waist, Amamiya Yao said naturally: "First find a means of transportation."

Just as the four of them were about to leave, a light and pleasant voice sounded behind them.

"Actually... I'm pretty good at doing chores and cooking."
