I heard a sounding noise somewhere far from City Hall.

The deep moon raises its face and ears.

……

There was no sound to follow.

Several humans in the same material room are also, surprisingly, turning their faces in the direction of sound.

The little girl who was by his side tried to get up, and the deep moon rushed to hold that hand.

A girl about five or six years old, Yusuke protected in a garrison. My hair, which was a mess, was washed and deceived, and my back is flowing beautifully. When I dressed up snugly, she looked so cute.

However, the sharpness of the eye is not at all different from when it was deposited. I'm still reacting strangely and trying to go see how it goes.

"No, it's dangerous."

The girl looks dissatisfied and looks up at the deep moon.

"Some people are on guard, so it's okay. I'll see you later, okay?

The girl was biting off her lips, but she snorted. Pull over next to Lunch and gaze at the entrance to the room.

My brother, Ryuji, was also silently eager for signs outside. We're both on guard.

The deep moon feels dark that children's adaptability is being used in this direction, but switches heads quickly. You'll be relieved to see how things went and tell me that nothing happened.

After I finished helping in the materials room, the late moon held the bag,

"Um, socks, thank you"

"It's okay. I made the rest out of scraps."

I don't have a lot of socks for kids, and someone in the materials room made them for me when I found out. Deep Moon bowed his head and tried to take the two of them out of the room.

That's when the boy I found out at the door turned up.

"Ah, the late moon."

He was a childhood friend of mine, Tsuruji.

Of the guard squad, it must have hit the watch shift.

A woman stood next to me.

"... what's wrong?

"No, this guy says he needs a late moon. It was just time for a change, so I brought him in."

Hearing that, the deep moon turns its gaze.

She was a young woman who looked weak, with her hair stuck behind her back. I have a smile on my face for once, but I don't really know if I'm good at other people, I have a pulled look.

"What is it?

"... let the teacher ask me, I'm gathering people... won't you come...?

"Dr. Makura?... Is that the sound you just made? Something about an injured person."

"Ah... maybe so"

The woman laughed vaguely.

"Okay. Some of these kids, so I'll head back to my room once."

"Oh, come on! Come with me. Because we're in a hurry!

To the suddenly desperate voice, the deep moon nodded as it felt something puzzling.

Heading in the woman's lead was a room upstairs in the west government building, past the crossing. When the late moons reached City Hall, it was the first place they showed us as a residence.

It's dark inside. The cantera lights in the mirror do not reach the wall, only the blurry silhouette floats.

Surprised by the small amount of one, I was just about to enter the room and was pulled off my sleeve.

It's the girl I was following behind me.

Without looking at the deep moon, he is turning his gaze to the stuffing woman beside him.

I smiled like a woman pulled on me.

"Duh, what's wrong?

Late moon and girl stopped at the door, she is moving her gaze suspiciously.

(... this guy...?

When I felt something was wrong, in the dark indoors, the signs moved.

(... Huh!?

I avoided the arms stretching out of the darkness with a single hair. I bump into the woman who was lying next to me and pull her in.

"Become..."

It was an unrecognizable man who came out of the room.

I'm reaching out to get this one.

There was obvious hostility.

Neighbor Ryuji showed signs of resistance. The deep moon was zoomed by the sight of the visionary.

"No! Stay away!

I came forward reflexively to avoid letting him go behind me. It was blind behavior due to fear and anger, without even knowing who the other person was, but it was an unexpected counterattack, and the man's posture collapsed. Strong pain runs on the beaten shoulder and head. The deep moon distances itself as it crawls through the floor, feeling the sagging of the man who touched it with his skin.

(Ah, knife...... ugh!

Yusuke gave me a weapon. If you set up, they will hesitate too.

I was just about to get my hands behind my belt, and you heard the noise, and a guy from the guard ran over from the end of the crossing. The deep moon is broken.

"Please help me!

To that voice, the man did not respond. They're coming this way in desperate shape.

A man relaxed along the way.

He was dressed like he was shocked from behind. The man stops with a surprised look on his face.

The next moment, Hyun, and something flew in just after the wind cut, sucked into its back.

A man's body falls like he was thrust.

On the back of the man who collapsed on the floor, two arrows were stabbed.

…………

For a moment, my thoughts stopped.

Behind the crossing, several humans appeared.

A man in a business coat drags a figure to the floor and walks over here.

A man sprinkled and fired a gun at the rear. A number of bursting explosions echo with attention. In the distant visible central hall, several human beings were seen falling. The red color flickers in my eyes.

Dragged by a man was the crying White Valley.

Makura is also walking crawling as she leans against the wall. Both were restrained in the back hand.

……

My heart pulses hard and my thoughts are about to panic.

I don't know what's going on, but we should run away with the two behind us. Take the stairs and escape somewhere on the ground floor.

He grabbed his arm hard when he tried to flinch himself.

"... Huh!?

Smiles like a woman's pull.

Shake it. I won't leave you anywhere. My fingers are stuck in the arms of the deep moon disappointingly.

In the meantime, the men are approaching. My gaze turned this way. The muzzle lifts.

I can't escape.

The presence of a pistol under his clothes, on his back, was strongly felt.

(pull this out, if you turn..., but oh no...)

The gun the man had was huge and his presence was overwhelming. Even if I didn't know the difference in clear range, all I could think of was the sight of being shot right away. Yusuke only brought it as a threat.

The deep moon stopped moving and whispered to the two behind.

"Go...!

When the deep moon pushed her body by body, the girl stepped back and ran out. Drag the lumps, away from the back of the corner. Deep Moon thanked the girl who felt Lunch's sobering gaze and forcefully took it away.

…………

A man in the room stood by him and grabbed his shoulder. The men in the crossing are approaching too.

The deep moon was powerless and stood on the spot.

The killer group had four men and one woman.

In addition to Makura and Shiraya, there were also two young women in the holding cell. He was captured before the late moon, and together, five people, all of them are hostages. restrained and sat on the wall.

There were two men by my side, laughing at Niyaniya. Sounds like the guys on the court, but there was some spare, tense vibe. There's no sign of Parker's boy with the bow. He seems to be on guard outside.

The man in the court, who seemed to be the main culprit, turned to the desk he had been sent to, put earphones on his left ear and wanted something all the time.

…………

The Deep Moon only gazed and looked softly at the room.

Makura is not eyeing her surroundings, dropping her shoulders and nagging. White Valley only lets his gaze wander in the void. The other two were frightened and similar.

The late moon was also terrified by its unclear state, but by letting the children escape, it had only marginally connected its hopes.

(... not yet...)

There are also weapons. If you look at the gaps and untie the restraints...

After that, the time flowing indoors was slow.

The men are taking turns to see what's going on out there. It was an atmosphere of nervousness or inability to stand still.

After a while, out the window, I heard a faint engine noise.

A man on the coat stands by the window, looking out through the blind gap.

A boat from the procurement team that went to the outdoor center returned.

The man took out the radio in anticipation of the match when it arrived at the dock.

"Sourcing squad? Are you listening to me?

…………

No response. Remains silent.

The man sent it out again.

"Let's move on quickly. The other leaders killed him. Doctor's over here, too."

of the leader of the procurement squad, a voice that pushed anger to death returned.

'... why did you do this? What's the purpose? "

"Oh...... thank you for the mountain maintenance. I'm sorry, but we'll let them use it. It's time to unzip here, too.... just leave the guy who's steering the ship. Everyone else get up to land."

…………

"You got it? We're moving on to the ship, but if you feel disturbed... we have hostages here. Stop imitating me badly."

The radio opponent took his place.

Yusuke's voice. Deep Moon looked up haha.

'Don't take it personally. I'm not maneuvering a ship. When you get to the mountain, you're done with it, right? Who's going? "

"I wouldn't do such a waste. Usable humans use it."

"That's right. Die on your own. '

"... would you like a woman to ask for it?"

Mike was stuck out by an approaching man, and the deep moon breathed, but he immediately called out in a desperate voice.

"There are five killers! One of them had a gun..."

He was beaten from the side and took the radio away.

The man's voice resumes.

"Takemura, right? I saw it on the roster. You're in the bureau with this guy. You don't want to see something too bad, do you?

Yusuke is silent.

After a while, I got back a response.

'... so?

The man looked strangely at the microphone on the radio.

That cohesive atmosphere seemed so dangerous somehow.

"Hey."

The man said in such a voice as to call on a friend.

"I'm in trouble when I'm mistaken, but I don't always like to kill humans. I killed a lot of zombies. To protect our people. Pramaizero, I think you'd still be contributing to humans... so... let's get along... have you ever torn a zombie apart?

…………

"They're strange, aren't they? I tried to look for weaknesses, but I didn't know why it was working until the end. Even if it looks like a maggot opening, I still have a pimple in my gut. That was disgusting..."

A fellow woman nodded with her head in her arms. Shivering like a child. The other two men were also staring at the man in a creepy way.

"I've also looked into humans. Blood matters. Even if you carve it with a knife, it's hard to die if you stop the bleeding. You see?"

…………

"We can live five or six hours. I'm getting the hang of it. Nothing. We're not in a hurry. Or would you rather have another woman?

The radio is silent.

White Valley, who was in captivity, threw up diarrhea like she couldn't stand the fear. Orange gastric juice with little content splashes from clothes to the floor.

The man caught a glimpse of it and then went on to say the words.

"Anyone can listen to you. I'll take care of it. Choose. Quickly."

'............... I'm sick, you...'

"Right."

A gunshot sounded.

'There's one less. Think carefully. I'll do five minutes.'

…………

The ship's radio was cut off.

Yusuke lowered his hand with the radio and stared at it blurredly.

Kudo said in a hard voice.

"I'll stay on the ship."

…………

"Take me to the mountains first... and then I'll do something about it. That's all right."

Kudo's expression is shaken by Yusuke's aversion to seeing the hostages dead and the grip of reason that he shouldn't go badly on the heels.

Yusuke ignored it, took the keychain out of his pocket and threw it at the president. Fits in the palm of a reflexively raised president.

"... What's this?

"It's the key to the dump underground. There's a gun case behind the driver's seat. Three pistols and ammunition. You can do it if you match your rifle."

Yusuke turned the radio on with his mouth.

"I'm replenishing the ship with gasoline now. It takes half an hour to pick it up in the basement and round trip. You can't rush it."

――

Shut up.

The radio silences again.

Yusuke is on the spot, as he thought.

The president opens his mouth.

We have hostages.

"... if you're going to miss it, that's fine. If he had a ship now, it would be over. Hostages anyway,... either way. Do it on your own already."

Yusuke says to the throwaway bowl, Kudo is fine.

"... what, on your own"

"I'm sick of this guy all the time. Kill as many people as you like."

"What are you talking about? You. What's the matter with you?

"You know..."

I threw up and turned my back.

Enduring the aversion attached to his stomach, he ascends the stairs of the dock and goes out on the road.

The surrounding building streets were quiet.

I don't make a single sound.

But...

(You're here...)

City Hall's defenses are also broken now.

If the intelligent body is going to set it up, it would be a great opportunity.

Yusuke regained his rifle sling and walked to City Hall early.
