Chapter 73 Velys... Not Rina
Delmor frowned, he did not think that after using so much effort to get to this place, in the end he could not leave the city.
It must be known that he led a group of 20 students, including Rina, to survive. He did not understand why he was so lucky that during the move, his group did not encounter any danger.
The moving process was unbelievably smooth.
He even killed a few Zombies and obtained some materials to make weapons according to the recipe of "The Apocalypse Encyclopedia".
If Hikaru knew Delmor's thoughts, he would surely say that it was thanks to the protagonist's aura.
However, Delmor felt that the function of "The Apocalypse Encyclopedia" was still lacking in that it did not automatically mark the material he was looking for.
That's right, Delmor had to rely on his eyes to discern where the ingredients he needed were in the middle of a pile of rubble and countless things around.
Because of that, Delmor felt that he had missed out on a lot of things, perhaps there were a lot of materials lying underneath the ruins that he had not discovered.
But he also knew that this was not the time to be greedy, he needed to get out of the city as quickly as possible and it seemed that everyone else had the same idea as him.
That's right, there were too many people living inside the city, so the number of Zombies was too much.
Only by leaving the city and going to the remote suburbs, that the chance of survival is higher.
However, Delmor found it difficult to understand when the exit was blocked, there was even an extremely powerful Zombie, whose skin was impenetrable to bullets.
He sighed and asked, "Isn't this… the only way out of the city?"
Laylah nodded: "There are actually two roads, but they are all blocked. There's even a wall of fire around the city itself, so people can't run out."
"If we try to break through this firewall, we will die before we get out of it."
Delmor sighed, he said: "Haizz, so are we just going to have to wait here in despair?"
Laylah replied, "I am thinking of a way too. However, the main problem is not the firewall, but that monstrous Zombie."
"There were a few policemen who tried to find another route, but no matter where they went, they were stopped by that Zombie, moreover it easily killed all the police who were looking for the way."
"Can a Zombie patrol a large area?" Delmor asked, confused.
Laylah shook her head while speaking: "Impossible, but there is a problem and it is that the Zombie seems to know how to control other Zombies from afar."
"What?!" Delmor was startled when he heard what Laylah said: "You mean… that particular Zombie is controlling other Zombies to block the way out of the city?"
Laylah nodded, "That's right. If we don't encounter that special Zombie, we will still be surrounded by other normal Zombies."
"What about the other way? Can't we get out of the city that way?"
Laylah shook her head: "The other way out of the city is a bridge. However, that bridge was… broken."
"Broken?! A giant bridge is broken?" Delmor was so surprised, he couldn't believe his ears.
"That's right." Laylah said: "Not only that, the surrounding boats were also punctured. There seems to be an organization that has done these things so that we can't leave the city."
As Delmor heard this he was surprised, and his expression quickly went from disbelief to fear. Is someone trying to lock us inside this city?
Also…. Can that person control Zombies to get in our way?
Delmor suddenly thought of the only person who could do this, and that was Hikaru.
However, Delmor shook his head, if Hikaru could do that, he wouldn't need to stock up on food.
Delmor suddenly sighed and said, "It would be good if Hikaru was here. Maybe… he would know what was going on and know how to deal with this problem."
Laylah was a little surprised to hear that: "Ah! It's the first time I've heard of someone who values Hikaru as much as you do."
Laylah said while glancing at Akiko. Akiko saw Laylah's gaze and just lowered her head, a look of disappointment on her face.
Delmor frowned, as he wondered what Hikaru was doing right now.
Then he shook his head, trying to dismiss the thought. He looked at Laylah and asked, "So… what should we do now?"
Laylah looked at the sea of fire not far from them, then looked at the jewel in her hand again: "Perhaps… you're right. We must discover the power hidden within this stone. Maybe… this is what will help us defeat Zombies."
"However, we do not have much time for research. I think we should use all our strength to break through. I think this is the only way."
"You mean…" Delmor asked suspiciously.
"That's right. We will use all the cars in this place to rush out at once. Maybe that way there will be a lot of casualties but at least we will get out of this place."
"It's better than sitting here and waiting for death to come slowly to us."
Hearing Laylah's words, Delmor nodded, feeling that was the only way anyone could do it right now.
"When does it start?" he asked.
"Starting from now, as quickly as possible, before that strange Zombie gathers many other Zombies to this place."
"Um! I will call everyone and inform them."
Laylah nodded: "Thank you."
After Delmor said that, he turned to leave, Laylah followed his back, and she even felt that her previous guess seemed to be a bit accurate.
Delmor was like a main character in a novel. What he was doing would make everyone view him as a hero.
He could also easily lead others, and it is easy for others to trust him.
Laylah frowned, and wondered what Hikaru was doing right now.
However, recalling that Hikaru had hoarded a lot of food, and that there was a beauty in a safe mansion with him, she concluded that he was probably very happy right now.
She remembered her first kiss with him again, which made Laylah feel even more uneasy.
Huh! Man… wait for me to get out of the city, I'll definitely find you.
Delmor returned to the campsite of the school friends he had led there.
This place had about 20 people, including Rina.
Delmor entered his tent, and saw Rina taking care of a little puppy, and he sighed in her heart.
As soon as he ran out of the school, he suggested that he needed to leave the city to avoid Zombies.
Everyone agreed, only Rina wanted to go back to the dormitory to carry her luggage.
What the hell?!
luggage?
Did she really think they were going camping? A fun camping and watching the Zombies roam in the dawn light?
Despite everyone's objections, Delmor also didn't want to see Rina sad, he decided to protect her and explained that they didn't have time to go back to get her luggage.
Along the way, Rina, who was angry about being stopped by everyone, never spoke to Delmor.
Until last night, while everyone was hiding inside a house, Rina found a little puppy.
She decided to bring it with her because it was so pitiful.
Delmor at that moment could only sigh, and let Rina do what she wanted.
However, it is a puppy, so sometimes it barks uncontrollably. This causes Zombies to find them and they have to run away in the night.
Despite being surrounded by Zombies, Rina still did not let go of that puppy, she still carried it with her until now.
At this moment, seeing Rina sharing the biscuits they got at the supermarket with the puppy, he could only sigh.
"Rina… we don't know if there's enough food left, we need to save as much as possible."
Hearing that, Rina frowned and looked at Delmor: "Delmor, are you upset with what I'm doing?"
"Do you think that because I brought this dog, everyone is being chased by Zombies?"
Delmor shook his head and said, "I don't mean to blame you, however, we can't..."
"Shut up!" Rina suddenly shouted, her eyes filled with anger: "Delmor, don't you feel that every life should be cherished?"
"To you, it is just a dog, but to me, it is also a life, it also needs to be cherished."
Delmor smiled wryly at that, his mouth twisted to the side.
That dog needs to be cherished so don't we and the others deserve to cherish our life?
Is it normal for people to put everyone in danger because of a dog?
However, those were Delmor's thoughts, which he dared not speak out for fear of making Rina angrier.
He sighed and said, "Haizz, Rina, at least you have to manage it. The noise it makes attracts Zombies, which threatens everyone's life."
Rina frowned: "Huh! It's just a dog, it's not conscious of what it's doing. Do you think that it understands that it should be silent at all times?"
"Delmor, stop being selfish. Are you jealous of a dog?"
"Jealous?!" Delmor felt extremely shocked, he was jealous of a dog? Why was he jealous?
Rina sighed and shook her head: "You feel that I pay more attention to it, so you want to throw it away, right?"
"Delmor, I understand how you feel. I know you helped me through a lot of dangers, and even tried to protect me."
"However, I am not sure how I feel right now. I don't have any feelings for you either."
"Sorry, Delmor. But in the future I don't know, maybe I will have some feelings for you."
Rina said as she stroked the puppy that was trying to eat the biscuits, her eyes filled with love.
Delmor opened his mouth, and he widened his eyes at Rina. At this moment, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
"So… this is why Hikaru chose Velys over Rina."
