Capítulo 8: Road to home
"How is my story, you guys" I said in cheerful voice while driving the bus.
"That is a great story about your life, big sis" Alice complimented but excepting her, no one had the mood to care about my story.
"That story explain my 5 years in military. Why you guys don't believe" I shook my head in disappointment.
" I still wonder why you can craft those thing. Such as the machine at the end of bus that you called dispenser." Kawamoto still didn't understand my story.
"Yeah, you explained that machine can produce all necessary details that can be used to craft gun" Taniuchi added.
"Yeah, it's useful,right. In this apocalypse, we have gun that also means we are the most powerful person at the moment" I answered with triumphant voice.
"I mean why they taught you how to craft gun. Is it illegal?" Taniuchi stroke the point that everyone still didn't understand.
"You can understand that 5 years in military like a special program. In there, they teach kids how to fight, craft, survive in harsh environment. And it's also approval by government so there is no illegal here." I waved my hand to show that their worry is unnecessary.
What I told them is my 5 years in military not in this world but rather in my previous life.
I joined that program when I was 6 years old because my parents thought it's good for me. Yes it's good for me now.
The purpose of program is training the children to feel how the real war like. Technically, I think it sucks because who trains 6 years children to feel the real war. The birth of this program was come from after the invasion of neighbor country. The war ended well because foreign country interceded but my country was cautious after that. They want to have a strong defence system. That is how this program was born. Kind of like fascist system. Until now, I still don't understand why there is still people approval this kind of program.
You can choose learn this system or by normal school. Both learned for 5 years except one is learning strongly in military are and the other is very normal, you know like learning basic math, literature or anything else like normal school. If you graduate from this system, you can still learn at middle school so basically there is no loss in here.
I chose this system in the end because I heard that only chosen people by government can enter this system making me think that this system sounded interesting. Who knows that will be my nightmare.
At there, I learned how to close combat, use weapon, exercise every day, learn to survive all kind of environment. The only thing interested me is crafting. And no game or other form of entertainment.
Why? I must say that I enjoyed create things. They are not only teaching me to craft gun but also crafting armor suit and other necessary things in military. To be more understand, I can craft armor like iron man but more primitive than that. The armor can't fly or fire laze. The only thing it can do is protecting the user and increasing strength.
If you say that this action can be taken advantaged by mafia, yakuza or something like that then your worry is unnecessary, because the person was chosen very carefully. There are many factions to choose people like family, contribution, ethics, criminal record,… My parents contributed for country a lot in war period so of course, I was chosen.
And that is my begin of hellish training. The schedule is full, only 30 minutes at Sunday can take a break. Sleep is taking 6 hours. That is very little for children at 6 years old. They teaches martial art, gun firing, knowledge,… They even give access of military knowledge to kids. That explains why I could craft gun and amazing machines. To be honest, that was a brave move or stupid move, I don't know. That action likes giving a gun to children who literally don't know anything.
After ending the course, I chose the normal school again. That training gave me a lot trauma. Even now I still remember clearly.
At least, I access to military knowledge. I now can craft gun, machine, bullet, … so that was a benefit for me since I have nothing to lose.
"So what we are going to do now" Yamada asked. I was taken back reality by his voice.
"Like our initial goal. We are coming to Saya's mansion" I answered his question while looking at mirror.
"We late because I spent 3 days fixing and modifying the bus"
"Yeah you modified it like car in Mad Max movie" Yamada added.
"You attached a lot of metal layers and knife. And throwing all seat only leaving with dispenser and scrap" Kawamoto said in shy voice.
"I try to reduce the weight and make the bus can run over zombies"
"Yeah but it don't look weird, do it"
"Nothing weird here. This is called adaption. I make the bus run over the zombies and this is big advantage."
"And other thing is" Taniuchi joined the talk.
"is"
"your driving"
"What's wrong with my driving"
"Well, three days ago, you drive the bus like bump car" she said in worried voice.
"That's because I was drunk. I become weird when drunk. " it cringed me when hearing that experience.
"And beside none of you can drive. Speaking of devil, how is your father, Alice"
"He can stand a little for now."
"That's good"
I took the radio hanging on the mirror.
"Are we near your house, Saya"
"Yes, we nearly reach my house" The radio answered back.
I turned off the radio and looked the jeep before me.
I decided dividing into two groups. The groups riding jeep will be Takashi's group and the rest is with me. So that we can give support.
"Oh right, take that corner" the radio turned on.
Then I turned left. I realized that there were more zombies.
"Something wrong" it was Takashi's voice.
"The more we near the more zombie appear"
With that, the jeep ran over them but unexpectedly there was metal wire blocking them.
Seeing that, I span the bus around to create the barrier. It was too late to retrieve.
"Ok guys, look like we have problems" I looked back all of them.
"Kawamoto, Taniuchi. Both of you take crossbow and climb on that stair to bus roof. Providing fire at zombies. Yamada go with me to kill all near zombies"
"We are not ready for this" Both of girls shouted back at me.
"You have to. Just remembering what we had practice and everything okay." I encouraged them.
"OK" both of them replied.
"OK. Let's go"
I took sledge hammer and Yamada took metal bat.
"You kind of scare" I looked at his shaken hands.
"It's my first time"
"Just familiar with it" I raised the hammer slamming at nearby zombie. The blood splashed on the ground.
"Your left" I warned Yamada.
Yamada raised his bat hammering repeatedly at zombie's head.
"You little shit. Die" he growled at dead body.
"Okay, that is overkill. Save it for other zombie" I swung horizontally.
"You see. As long as you calm down, everything okay. For your safe. Staying away from bottom of the bus. Who know there is zombie down there" I advised him.
"Ok"
"Now you watch your left and I watch my right." I closed the door.
I span and swung at three zombies coming for my fresh. That hit was hard that all three zombie's head crushed.
I knew this will be hard to fight against the legion of zombies unless something miracle happened. My stamina wasn't unlimited.
I took a glance at Takashi's group. It seemed like they were doing well. I agreed that Takashi's group will take guns and in exchange, they helped me fixing the car. Some people shared guns but I denied it.
Using it will be lost many bullets. And the sound was too loud could attract zombie. I wanted a weapon that works effective against zombies. And my group seemed to be amateur to use gun. One mistake can backfire so no. I wanted them to learn how to fight close range first since gun was very easy to run out of ammo. And for two girls, they learnt how to use crossbow since they were too scared to be near zombies. I don't want to lost trust from people as it backfires latter.
I swung vertically at dashing zombie making it falls. I gave it one more strike at head. All brain splatted on the bus.
'Don't know touch those things can get infected' I thought.
"The problem seemed to be bad. Throw me that chainsaw, Alice"
"Yes" she threw the chainsaw through the window. Making it fall heavily on the ground.
I used my legs to make it more nearer. Suddenly, a hand grabbed my leg.
"What a ungrateful sight" I grunted at zombie under the bus. It had arrow on the body.
I hardened my stand and raised hammer slammed on its head. The blood splashed on my clothes.
I took the chainsaw and revved it. It came to alive.
"Meet my little friend all of you, little shit " I swung horizontally killing 5 zombies in row.
And I bisected the zombie coming to me into two parts. There was zombie coming from my right. I dodged it and cut it body in half. Leaving only half body, it came for me again but I raised my leg and slammed on it.
"Hope the shoes can be washed after this"
The zombie wave looked endless.
"I'm not a coward. How could I just die here" Saya encouraged her by shouting her frustration.
"My house is a little farther that way". She cocked her gun and fired at zombies.
Just as I had expected, they don't know how to use gun.
And Saeko lost her wood sword. Takashi seemed to be out of ammo. The situation seemed to be predicament now.
"After this, I must craft flame thrower" I sighed heavily.
My group seemed to be in fatigue. Yamada hit became less hard and crossbow group seemed to be our of arrow.
Only miracle can save this.
And miracle did appear immediately.
"Everyone get down"
Immediately, the group of people looked like firefighter came to save the day.
They used water cannon to fence off zombies.
"You guys. Now is your time . Run" I shouted loudly
Kawamoto, Taniuchi helped Mr. Maresato run. They walked very hard. Alice went after them.
"Yamada, you go with them. Leave the rest to me, all of them"
Yamada nodded and supported the group to jeep.
"Coming here. Biting this flesh if you can" I kicked zombie to make a obstacle.
I swung the chainsaw endlessly. I didn't remember how long I swung but one thing I can be sure is that I created a mountain with zombie corpses.
"You run now" a hand placed on my shoulder.
I glared back and saw that was a person. I only silently obliged the command.
….
….
"Thank you for saving us in need" Saeko thanked the firefighter.
"Of course" the firefighter took of the helmet.
It revealed that was a woman.
"I wanted to help my daughter and her friends."
"Mama" Saya was happy when seeing her mom.
Of course I was also happy with them. I could take a break for now.
