Chapter 038

Although the large purple bruise on his chest was something that would bother him for a few days.

"I'm fine, luckily Kyoko-sensei caught me before I fell into the river." The boy dressed again and sat with the others on the bank of the river.

"So that was a higher" bringing up the topic that was tense everyone, Kohta checked the weapon given by his partner, a pistol used by the police of his country, he only had six bullets at his disposal, he had to save them in case another of those things came back.

"He was faster and stronger than any human would ever be," murmured Saya who was washing her handkerchief in the river.

"No, this one was different from the one I've seen before." Naruto stood up and dusted off his clothes, "I guess the highers are now not only super humans, but also monsters."

The boy's dry and dark laugh made the others worry more, faced with a reality that surpassed fiction, the infected were going further than they as survivors could do.

"That won't stop us, we will survive." Seako looked with resignation at her Bokken, which had teeth marks and a missing part, it was still useful, but the risk of it breaking in use was now greater, "I'll take one of yours." "Naruto swords, until we can get other more efficient weapons"

"Yes, no problem," losing interest, the blonde teenager looked at the bridge in the distance, shouts and shots could be heard, apparently some people tried to get over the barricade or the infected had gotten there.

"If there's a problem," Leaving the river and returning to her friends, Saya ignored the chaos on the bridge, "How about finding a place to spend the night?"

"Is right!"

This time everyone turned to Shizuka. She was holding her watch, showing that it was already '5:35'. "We only have an hour until nightfall. If it gets dark... we won't be able to see where we're going and it will be hard for everyone."

"Well, that's true, but where can we stay?" Kyoko questioned the blonde, hoping to get a good night's sleep and a nice hot bath. Two days wearing the same clothes and staying on a school bus that is rarely clean will make anyone want a bathroom.

"It will have to be a shop or a family home, there are a lot of us after all" Yuuki pointed out, trying to find a place to stay that would be big enough to accommodate everyone.

"I don't think there's a place nearby big enough to protect us all," Takashi responded uneasily, "And searching through the stores runs the risk of running into infected people, or other people who might not be so nice about coming to the same shelter as us." they"

"You're right, Shido was just a sample of what awaits us in a world like this"

The Uzumaki's words made the others reflect, Takashi and Rei had experienced what he said and they agreed with her, they couldn't trust anyone.

"Excuse me"

Catching the attention of all the teenagers, they all turned to look at a smiling Shizuka, "Ah, I know a place we can use, we can walk there."

"Is this your boyfriend's house?" Saya asked curiously.

"No!" more than one recoiled from the urgent cry of the nurse who gave a slight glance to Naruto, who gave him a mocking smile, it was still too early, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no"

"Well, we understand," Kyoko interrupted in response to her coworker's stuttering.

"Well, it's one of my best friend's places. She's always busy with work, so she asked me to keep an eye on the place while she was gone."

"Is it an apartment? Isn't it something small for what we need?" Rei questioned.

"No, it's a huge apartment and it's right next to the river. There's also a grocery store nearby in case we need anything," the nurse explained, "Oh, and it also has a car that we can take when we're rested, it's like a tank and it has four doors"

"I don't care where we go, I just want to go somewhere with electricity and running water" Kyoko complained as she took off her jacket and started fanning herself with her hand, making all the male teenagers stare at her.

After all he was only behind the nurse in measurements. Like her big breasts squeezed by a sleeveless shirt.

"Do you see anything interesting Na-ru-to"

Cold sweat broke out on the Uzumaki's face, who didn't have to look over his shoulder to see his senpai's cold gaze.

"Ehh... No?" With this obvious lie she had to run towards Shizuka to start pushing her, "Come on Onee-chan! Your friend's apartment is waiting for us"

~~~~~~~~~~ • ~~~~~~~~~~

The walk to the apartment had not been that long, and they did not have to worry about the infected, everyone seemed to gather on the bridge where all the people were, who were trying to be contained by the police and military.

It only took one small spark for all hell to break loose on that bridge, and there was nothing they could do for them.

"Is this the apartment?" Kyoko was left with her mouth open like many others, as she easily reached a large two-story house and a large garage, unlike the many houses in Japan that seemed to be made of bricks and steel.

It was very solid, just looking at it made it clear.

"This is apparently not it! It's a mansion!" Yuuki couldn't help but be envious of whoever Shizuka-sensei's friend was.

"Well, she rents it, so it's an apartment," the nurse muttered thoughtfully, taking a card out of her purse and passing it through a slot next to the metal gate that slowly opened and allowed them to enter.

Immediately the large gate closed as soon as they entered, it seemed strong enough to prevent a horde from knocking it down.

"Uh… Shizuka-sensei, what exactly is your friend doing?" Curiosity not only piqued Saya, but also everyone else.

"Hmmm... secret things about the army, she's very rude"

That answer only generated more doubts than answers, but there was time to answer them when they were inside the apartment.

Seako and Naruto being the ones who entered first to make sure there was nothing there, and gave the green light for everyone else to enter.

"Bath time girls~!"

Takashi, Hirano and Naruto were almost run over by all the girls, who were guided by a cheerful Shizuka to the bathroom to take a much-needed hot shower.
