Chapter 129 – Academy Apocalypse (39)
“You can stay here. Then I’m fine.”
“Take care.”
The policeman who guided Seo-jun and his party left.
They saw the quarters they were assigned to. It was a place where a classroom inside the school was renovated and divided into partitions to make it look like an accommodation.
“Properly providing convenience.”
Ten thousand citizens all live in tents or tents in the playground.
The only ones living inside the school are the police. This is because it is suitable for efficiently managing weapons and materials.
Although there was some dissatisfaction among citizens because of this.
Because the police had so much work to do, there were still more people who were convinced.
“There are no beds.”
“It’s not even the infirmary, why would there be a bed?”
There were blankets though.
They unpacked their luggage.
Well, there was no weapon other than luggage. It was because all the small things were stored in Seo-jun’s inventory.
“Whoa, I’m going to live for a while now.”
Komuro sat down.
The other party also took their seats with tired faces.
“Still, I’m glad you arrived safely.”
Many things happened.
Looking back, there were so many scary things.
However, overcoming all that, they arrived here.
He was the so-called warrior of reversal.
To be honest, their experience and fighting power would be better than most of the cops here.
“So what are you going to do next?”
“Let’s get some rest first and then gather information.”
Seojun replied to Takagi’s words.
“What information?”
“Well, there are several things. Like the atmosphere here? But most importantly, of course.”
“Awakener.”
Saeko murmured.
Seojun nodded at him.
“Okay. The most important thing is, of course, the information about each sperm.”
“You’re trying to see if anyone else has awakened besides us, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Hmm, it won’t be easy.”
“To? Why?”
Ray tilted his head.
Takagi raised his glasses.
“Well, if you’re an idiot, you’ll just talk about it, but if you think about it, you’ll hide it the moment you get it. And if it’s hidden, there’s no way to find out if it’s awakened or not, unless the person directly speaks or uses the ability.”
“Eh.”
“Wait for a sec. I have my doubts.”
“What is it, senior?”
“Takagi. Isn’t one of your abilities able to see information? With that, you can see the awakening of abilities?”
“… Ah.”
Saya put on a blank expression.
It wasn’t long before he had awakened to an ability he hadn’t had before, so he skipped it and proceeded with the story.
She said, blushing.
“Kuh, kuhm. I forgot it even existed.”
“Then, you just have to find it with Takagi’s ability!”
“… No, I think that’s impossible.”
“Uh? Why?”
“Saya should know better about that.”
Seojun nodded.
Taking the right to speak, Takagi let out a deep sigh.
“As you know, we need to pay something in order to use our abilities. As far as I know, there are two things, ‘mental strength’ and ‘physical strength’. In other words, as long as mental strength and physical strength are consumed to use the ability, the number of times is limited. Surely you can’t understand even after hearing this?”
“Ah.”
The companions drool as if they understood.
As long as something was consumed, it could not be used infinitely.
Their stamina and mental strength had their limits set. That’s why it was impossible to fire at random.
Rather, it is clear that you will be disappointed if you exhaust all your mental and physical strength.
So some adjustment was necessary.
“Okay. Then there is nothing you can do.”
“Even if it’s a little annoying, let’s all mix combatants and non-combatants and move in teams of at least two. You don’t have to find out about the Awoken unconditionally, so keep that in mind.”
Nodding their heads, they teamed up.
Personnel capable of fighting and those not capable of combat were properly mixed.
“I’ll go to the car with Asami-san for a while.”
So they split up for a while.
***
When I came out, I felt the gaze.
There were more people’s eyes than the police.
It must have been curiosity about the newcomer.
‘Even though some of them have disturbing eyes.’
There are three hundred of them.
Among them, there are also those who have disquieting thoughts.
However, Seojun ignored it because he had no intention of saying anything unless he touched it first.
‘By the way, I need to find a woman suitable for Hirano and Komuro here.’
Because if it wasn’t now, I wouldn’t have had a chance to see so many people.
He unleashed his magic and surveyed the people. Then, after selecting a good candidate and putting it in my head, I headed to the jeep with Asami.
The parked place was outside, a little away from the 3rd entrance.
“I am Jun. What are you doing in the car?”
Asami asked.
“I have something to test for a moment.”
“Aha.”
Seojun arrived and put the vehicle in the inventory.
Went in very well
“Hut!”
Asami was startled.
Because she didn’t know that she could even put it in a car.
‘As expected.’
Seojun decided to keep the vehicle in the inventory.
It was because it was a specification that it was annoying to leave it outside for nothing.
He glanced at Asami, who was still gaping her mouth.
‘I have to eat Asami too.’
But there is neither time nor space.
So Seo-joon decided to postpone that opportunity to a later date.
After all, that opportunity will come soon.
“Okay then, let’s go back and gather information for us too.”
“Ah yes!”
They turned around and came back into the 3rd second.
***
While eating the rationed dinner, Seo-jun and the others had a conversation.
“Well, the food situation is not good after all.”
“Because we were in a hurry to evacuate, and we probably didn’t have time to pack proper food. Besides, there are not many places to get food around here.”
“How are you? In two days, this kind of meal will be good-bye.”
“That’s right.”
“What about the information you gathered?”
After Takagi gulped down what was in his mouth, he opened his mouth.
“We are bullshit. Awakening and ability, nothing like that here.”
“Well, I didn’t get any particularly helpful information either.”
‘It’s the same here.’
“I also secretly mentioned my father, but it seems that there is no such person.”
Hearing Rei’s words, Shizuka put her hand on her cheek.
“Eh, that means~ there are no people here who have awakened their abilities like us~?”
“Maybe. I’m not sure.”
Not having much success, they decided to stop talking about the Awoken.
Besides that, there was a lot of information gathered here. So I spent some time, put the information together, and came to a conclusion about the current situation.
And the conclusion was that this place was safe.
Armed police, riot squad, etc… It was more complete in terms of force than any other group I had ever met. The slow ones were no match for a force armed with firearms.
The problem is that when there’s a loud noise, the people around you also flock to it.
That, too, was something that would be solved by killing them all. And the police here had the weapons and ammunition to make that possible.
“I think we can hold out long enough until the Self-Defense Forces arrive.”
“It’s good that you came this way.”
Seo-joon smiled bitterly as he looked at the party talking with bright faces.
‘Hold on until the Self-Defense Forces arrive… Is that really possible?’
Seojun thought.
Even though he is armed with a gun.
It was questionable whether it would work against the mutated ones.
‘And there’s that too.’
How long has the police been here?
Seojun took a rough guess. Probably at least a week or more.
Then, since mutants and awakenings have appeared, it will happen soon.
‘Zombie wave.’
A catastrophe that will wipe out all that has been gathered.
