Item Cheat 103.3

Chapter 103.3 – Surviving the Harsh Reality, Acquiesce

The calm observation and analysis of glasses Machida took my breath away.

Behind those lenses, however, I saw that he was glistening in excitement of having defeated an enemy. I still think that his nature is different from mine.

I don’t have the audacity to actively defeat my enemies especially if there are risks involved.

「Machida-kun, are you in the western style archery club?」

「Hnn? No, I’m not. Why?」

「No, nothing….」

How can you be so good at it if you’re not even doing it as club activity!

This guy named Machida would have been someone whose existence will never get involved with my life if not for what is happening.

We arrived at the minibus.

I paid careful attention and checked to see if there was anyone bitten by a zombie in our party.

Luckily, that girl that Sasaki from the soccer team had tried to save was already dead.

She’s probably a zombie now but I could only imagine what would happen to her if she was still alive and I had to take her with me.

If her humanity swept us away and had the person that was bitten come with us, that will be the end of the story.

Machida seemed to understand the situation pretty well and assisted me.

In fact, I had secretly snatched the keys of another public vehicle so that I could escape alone but I’m glad I don’t have to use it.

After all, I don’t even know if I can drive.

Just as everyone was getting into the minibus, the zombies began to close in on the school building and the parking lot.

A zombie of a former student was coming from outside the window of the bus, walking wobbly.

Seeing what was happening, I got worried that the minibus had yet to move.

I was sitting comfortably in my seat, thinking that I was finally in a safe zone, but I had to go to the driver’s seat to complain.

「Sensei, why are we not moving yet!」

「But, if I drive, I’ll run over them.」

Damn it, you’re afraid of running over them? You’re not a kid, you’re an adult. Don’t make a cute voice while acting like that.

Zombies are no longer humans.

Damn, even though I told her that, she wouldn’t listen to me.

What should I say to her to get her to drive…..

「Listen to me sensei, they are zombies. You’ve seen them in the movies. They are already dead and they are spreading death. If we don’t crush them here, more people will die. Next could be me or even you. You have to do it!」

「Butttt, they can’t be zombies!」

While we are talking, we are slowly being surrounded.

「If you’re going to be like that, get out of the way!」

「Wait, I’ll do it….ah, I must do it!」

When I tried to push her away and step on the accelerator, Mizuki-sensei finally meditated and stepped on the gas pedal.

The dead flesh of the crushed zombies sticks on the ground.

Sensei screamed as she saw it. Just concentrate on driving.

However, even though they are dead, the zombie flesh stuck to the windows is surely disgusting that it’s even moving for a while.

I wonder what the logic behind it is.

When we reached the main gate of the school, another challenge awaited me.

A car trying to get away had an accident in its haste or perhaps several cars had piled up and were blocking the entrance.

Trying to slip through the gap would be impossible.

And with the size of the bus, our only way out was through the main gate.

Even a stopped bus would be swarmed by zombies. Or maybe there are even living people in the mix, looking for help. That’s what I thought but I must never speak of it.

If I do, we will all die.

「Sawatari-kun.」

The female teacher looks up at me with a sullen look in her eyes.

After sighing, I took a deep breath in, put all my strength into my stomach, and yelled at sensei.

「We have no choice but to drive through, just step on the accelerator and bump everything out.」

「But there could still be people in the car and it might explode on impact.」

「If we stay still, every one of us will die.」

「Right……」

I yelled to everyone to get down as I got down and held onto the pole while bracing myself for the impact.
