Chapter 7: Part 7: Arrival
(after leaving the previous situation we continued walking through the alley and luckily we didn't find any more of those things)
(we left the alley that connected to another street where Junn's father's house was and contrary to my expectations there were no traces of those things)
(it's strange the city is chaos but the house seems to be free of those things, maybe it's because of the tutorial?....(sigh)sigh...I'll think about it later for now we have to enter the house, I've had enough of the city for today)
well this is an opportunity, we have to hurry
(I take Misaki's hand)
let's go Misaki, those things aren't there so we can go without any problem
-yes let's go
(we walk towards the entrance and knock on the door)
thump thump thump
Mr. Tanaka it's us, please open the door
(a voice is heard from (inside)
Takuya is that you?
(it was Mr. Yamada's voice!)
Yes sir it's me could you please open it
Oh..yes excuse me
(the door opens and without hesitation we rush in)
(the door closes)
(Mr. Tanaka looks at us)
Good job Takuya, you brought and escorted Misaki. I don't know how to thank you for this favor
(Mr. Yamada approaches Misaki and takes her by the shoulder)
Are you okay Misaki, didn't you hurt yourself coming here?
(Misaki with teary eyes jumps into Mr. Yamada's arms)
Uncle Takurou!....sob....uncle...hic ....hic (sobs)
Uncle!...I was so scared...uncle...hicc...hicc
(Mr. Yamada places his hand on Misaki's back and comforts her)
Calm down daughter it's all over, you're safe now
(Misaki trembles in Mr. Yamada's arms)
Yeah...yeah...you must have had a bad time
Yosh....yosh....yosh
(Misaki calms down in his arms)
Well it seems like you're feeling better now. For now it would be better if you went inside and got comfortable
(After Misaki calms down, the three of us head towards the living room)
(I sit down on one of the armchairs)
ugh...I feel tired
(It's only been a couple of hours but it feels like an eternity has passed out there)
(By the way, the television was on)
Wow... it's a newscast
(On the screen you can see a woman who appears to be the presenter of the program)
Good afternoon viewers, this is a breaking news alert. What was believed to be mass attacks and vandalism. It is nothing more than an attack caused by DEAD PEOPLE!? According to recent reports and images we received from our drone, all the people who are part of these large masses have fatal wounds and traces of bites. The army has been mobilized and they are trying to handle the situation but there are no good results, so the army resorted to eliminating these things that are believed to be living dead and this is because with the help of the military, they managed to reduce a man who shows similarities with that mass of people. After performing medical tests, it was determined that the man had no pulse, in addition to the fact that military scientists and doctors determined that through blood tests the presence of a very contagious virus. It is unknown which part of the body this virus attacks and some of the possible means of propagation. But with what has been collected so far it indicates that infected people have a pale complexion, swollen veins, a cough that over time becomes more chronic to the point of expelling blood in addition to a degradation in the tissues of the larynx and moderate fever. People who succumb to the virus attack other people through bites and blows, which is why scientists relate it to the rabies virus that apparently mutated into a much more lethal virus. It is recommended not to maintain contact with infected people, if you or a family member presents the symptoms that we have just mentioned, it is recommended to maintain discretion and carry out a one-week quarantine to avoid the spread of the virus.
(Wow...if this is like the game, the infection should turn a person into one of those things in two or three days...Junn comes to mind)
(How will Mr. Yamada react to this information?)
(I look at Mr. Yamada and he looks back at me)
(His expression was a little stiff)
(Misaki notices the situation and asks a question in the air)
Is something wrong?
(Mr. Yamada and I didn't know what to say)
(A brief silence ensues)
(What should I say?...Should I say that Junn was bitten?....No matter how it looks, I'm the least qualified to say it, after all it was my fault that that happened...and even more so in Mr. Yamada's presence)
(Mr. Yamada speaks in a brief and concise manner)
Junn was bitten
What?...That can't be true...man...
(Misaki looks at Mr. Yamada and it seems that she recognizes just by looking at him that Mr. Yamada isn't lying)
Junnn!!!
(Misaki leaves the room and heads to Junn's room)
(Mr. Yamada turns his gaze to me)
Son...Did the man who bit Junn have any wounds or any of the characteristics that were mentioned on television?
(should I lie?)
I sir...
(no... it's pointless, eventually it will turn...)
if that thing had serious injuries like those mentioned in the news and also the man acted more like an animal than a person
(I could see how the little hope I had was going away)
I see
sigh...uff (Mr. Yamada sighs)
I'll go see how Misaki is... I left some food in the kitchen so you can go there and eat. You must be hungry after touring the city...
oh.. yes, thank you
don't worry son, by the way you can stay in the guest room there is a bed in which you can sleep. Regarding the equipment I gave you, you can keep it, take it as a gift for bringing Misaki. And if you leave the room could you do me the favor of turning off the television, I don't think anyone will come down to the room at the moment
(Mr. Yamada leaves the room and heads to Junn's room)
(...)
(I was alone in the room)
(I turn to look at the television)
We just received recordings taken by the drone
(The city is shown from above)
(On the streets there were abandoned cars, shops that seemed to have been victims of vandalism and more of those things)
This is all shit...
(I turn off the television and head to the kitchen)
(...)
(After eating I went to the guest room)
(I lay down on the bed)
It's already night...how fast time goes by
I think now is a good time to think about what to do from now on, if this is just like the game, then the next scenario is inevitable in the game but maybe now with my knowledge of certain places and equipment maybe I can survive. Above all, being able to defend this house and not have it destroyed...
