"Above all, you must prioritize your safety. You and Lucas are not far from Tokyo Bay; consider leaving from there and don't worry about me. Hey, damn it!" After countless attempts, Yang Xiaoyou finally managed to connect with Nobunaga Hideyoshi on the phone, but before he could finish speaking, static filled the line, and then the signal completely dropped. It was unclear whether the other party had heard him.
At that moment, a bus suddenly burst onto the already chaotic intersection, violently crumpling the vehicles in its path into a heap.
The massive impact left terrifying dents in the bus's body, and it soon stalled, becoming just another wreck among the abandoned cars at the intersection, completely blocking any gaps that might have allowed for escape.
Faced with this situation, Yang Xiaoyou jerked the steering wheel sharply, maneuvering the speeding SUV to come to a stop just in front of a vehicle that had collided with others.
However, just as he managed to stabilize the vehicle, a convertible Red Sports Car came barreling down and crashed hard into Yang Xiaoyou's SUV.
It was as if a shovel had flipped the car over.
"Damn it, what bad luck." He kicked open the overturned door and squeezed out from the Airbag deployment area, then pulled Charming Shadow out from inside.
Fortunately, being a German SUV, it provided maximum protection for the two inside despite being flipped over.
Ordinary people might have sustained some injuries, but both Yang Xiaoyou and Charming Shadow were capable enough to instinctively protect themselves and were not significantly affected.
Standing atop the overturned SUV and surveying the chaotic street below, Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but sigh. This kind of scene was not new to him.
At that moment, he noticed that there were no Corpses in sight; however, the chaos among the crowd and the sporadic vehicles crashing into the pile of abandoned cars caused immense destruction to the city. The turmoil originating from City Hall was far more damaging than any Corpses could be.
Although there were still no visible Corpses among the crowd, Yang Xiaoyou understood that this city was doomed.
When the virus infection first began to spread, it was relatively easy to control—much like what happened at Pudong Airport. But once it spiraled out of control in such a densely populated urban area, its spread would far exceed anyone's expectations.
Now, although there were no visible Corpses yet, Yang Xiaoyou could confidently predict that within half an hour, the once 'lively' streets would become even more 'lively.'
"Master, what should we do now? Aside from the impending Infected Entities, I fear that even living people will be quite troublesome," Charming Shadow said quietly while standing beside Yang Xiaoyou. She watched as several red-eyed men navigated through various abandoned vehicles toward them and gently brushed her hair with her delicate fingers while speaking in her alluring voice.
"We should be grateful that Akihabara is not too far from Tokyo Bay."
"Regarding these insignificant beings, hm!"
With a quick shake of her hand, the silver threads flashed past, and simultaneously, a few fellows with red eyes looking at Charming Shadow had blood mist erupting from their necks. They clutched their throats and collapsed to the ground, convulsing.
In the current chaotic scene, no one was interested in what was happening here, just as no one cared about what these fellows were planning to do.
After retracting the silver threads and blade, Yang Xiaoyou jumped off the off-road vehicle and headed in the direction she had determined. Although Akihabara was not too far from Tokyo Bay, the winding roads and buildings in the city, combined with the chaotic streets, made this journey quite arduous.
Meanwhile, Charming Shadow observed Yang Xiaoyou's peculiar attacking method and a glimmer of intrigue crossed her eyes. With her keen perception, she could naturally discern the difficulty in controlling such power.
Typically, achieving such a delicate level of power manipulation would leave no energy for other aspects. However, through her brief encounter with him last time, she understood that his expertise extended beyond just this area. She hadn't expected to encounter such a versatile combatant.
She then flipped down and followed closely behind Yang Xiaoyou in that direction.
"This won't do; there's absolutely no way we can leave before a large-scale Infected Entity appears." As she led Charming Shadow through the crowds on the street, specifically choosing alleys to navigate through, Yang Xiaoyou simulated the next course of action in her mind while frowning.
The sounds coming from the streets had shifted from mere chaos to an escalating frenzy. Infected had already appeared on this street. Although their numbers were still relatively low for now, the exponential increase was entirely foreseeable.
Based on her memory and experience, she estimated the speed of transmission and realized it would be impossible to leave before a large-scale outbreak occurred. Given that, they had to prepare for a prolonged struggle. The first wave of Zombie Tide at the onset of an outbreak could be deadly even for her at her peak; they needed to find a place to hide.
"I, Dream Butterfly Sister, absolutely must not reveal my appearance! And this manager lady as well; it's terrifying how irrational people can become." On the second floor of a small electronics store, Huang Wei and several others from Liver Group were cautiously probing ahead with baseball bats in hand.
Behind them were two figures wearing oversized down jackets with red and white duck hats that concealed their faces entirely.
Upon hearing Huang Wei's anxious words, the person wearing the white hat nodded lightly in response, while the other remained unresponsive.
"Who goes there?!" Just as they slowly approached the second floor, a rough and wary voice came from behind the tightly closed rolling shutter door.
At that moment, the chubby member with the best Japanese stepped forward and spoke in a tone that was both flattering and pleading. "Please let us in to take shelter! Our bus got stuck in traffic outside due to all this chaos; having more people around gives us strength."
Uncertain if it was the words of the heavyset man that moved him, after a moment of contemplation, he opened the rolling shutter door to the second-floor mall. Soon, a man wearing a black tank top, with a tiger head tattooed on his muscular arm, appeared before everyone.
Seeing the imposing figure of the burly man, Huang Wei and his companions felt a moment of hesitation. However, relying on their numbers, they ultimately decided to step inside together.
At the very least, it was safer inside than out on the street. Having experienced the recent civil unrest, they were all too aware of how terrifying a crowd could become once it lost its reason.
Although they had not yet seen it for themselves, they understood from rumors circulating on the way that a terrifying virus had indeed made its way here.
They had all gone through a quarantine before, but that time had been under control; they had only encountered chaotic crowds. Now, knowing they might face those flesh-eating monsters, they felt an overwhelming sense of dread.
All they wanted was to find a safe place to hide quietly and wait for any potential rescue.
However, what they initially thought was an advantage in numbers quickly faded when they entered the electronics store and saw several men huddled together smoking. Their expressions changed at the sight.
In addition to those men, there were also a few individuals who appeared to be staff and the boss's associates gathered on another side. It was clear they were the original owners of the store, but it was another group that opened the door and asked questions, highlighting their dominance in this situation.
To be continued.
