After saying goodbye to Shido, Yuriko and Cloud ran towards the parking lot. As they did, they watched as the mansion was being looted by the survivors.
"Those ungrateful idiots…" Yuriko muttered angrily but she quickly calmed down. Soon she would know no more of them.
Cloud only narrowed his eyes when she heard how the sound of gunshots was a short distance away-"I think we better hurry up"
Yuriko nodded at the blonde's words as she drew her gun and shot a man who came with everything against them- "As if I had been through a similar situation"
She knew that man was coming with bad intentions just by looking at him. Cloud didn't say anything because he also felt the 'wild instinct' that man had.

The group was ready to go and they were just waiting for
The missing two will arrive.
"How much more time do they need?" Rei asked as she looked at Saya.
"I don't know" - denied the girl with pink hair - "I just hope it's little"
"Two buses with survivors have already evacuated, there is only one more bus left and our two vehicles"-reported Kohta as he looked around him and fired his gun-"Those idiots don't learn"
Takashi didn't say anything, just shook his head as he watched another human corpse fall limp to the ground. The reason for this was the simple truth, Takagi's subordinates had declared that only those who followed their rules would be the beneficiaries of the privilege of escaping on buses. Identifying who they were was not difficult, after all, they had a record of all this.
"Another idiot who doesn't make good use of his time"-saeko denied with a smile full of mockery-"I think it's time we get ready to go out"
The others looked in the direction of the mansion and noticed how Cloud and Yuriko were approaching at full speed. u
"Shizuka-san, Kyoko-san, I think it's time to start the vehicles" - Saeko said seriously - "The last bus is about to leave because they saw Yuriko-san"
"Okay~!" Shizuka smiled as she followed the instructions of her sister.
"Let's go!" Cloud exclaimed as he entered Shizuka's vehicle with Yuriko, who, being in a hurry, couldn't do anything but jump on top of the boy. The sweat from running so much was making his dress almost revealing of him stick against his skin as a seductive scent invaded the blonde's nose.
"Going!" Yuriko exclaimed as she tried to catch her breath, only to gasp and in the process make her massive mountains bounce around uncontrollably.
"..."-Cloud could only swallow when he saw all this but he quickly calmed down. With the woman's current position, she could feel the change in her anatomy if she didn't calm down quickly.
The two vehicles, along with the last bus, left the mansion while listening to the screams of hundreds of survivors who could only roar in outrage, including the woman who only knew how to incite the masses.
"What did you do with the men who were stalling?" Cloud asked seriously.
"They decided to sacrifice themselves in order to give us as much time as possible, on the condition that we take care of their families" - Yuriko said with regret. The death of those ungrateful people didn't bother her in the least, what it did, was the fact that at least 20 men loyal to her deceased husband, sacrificed themselves to be able to give them as much time as possible - "I only hope that those sons of whore they can give us the necessary time to be able to escape by the long route"
She understood that if they took the main route, a sea of zombies would be her enemy but if they took the long route, they would find far fewer, perhaps even lucky enough to have a relaxed path.

The group continued down the path although they could still hear the screams of the 'survivors' and the roars of the zombies in the distance.
"How much time left?" Cloud asked seriously.
"Less than a minute" - answered Yuriko.
"Come to think of it... aren't you afraid that someone will manage to save Shido?" The blond asked curiously.
Yuriko - "It is impossible for him to be saved, first because in order to 'untie' him, you need 4 keys and I have two, the other two are in his room so that in case someone shows up at the place, he has a sense of false hope "
"Second, the bomb that is in that place is actually deactivated and has a much faster timer than normal, that is to do a lot of psychological damage" - the woman continued - "And third--- in Do you really think that I just used a bomb to destroy my mansion?"
"Remind me never to get on the bad side of a vindictive woman"-Cloud said as a large amount of sweat ran down his forehead. He had to admit that Yuriko had thought it all through.
*KABOOOOOOOOOM!*
Those present could only hold on to the seats while they felt how everything trembled. They slowly looked in the direction of the Takagi mansion, only to notice how it was exploding.
"..."-Yuriko only looked sadly as a treacherous tear ran down her cheek. Saya was the same, although she was more free with her emotions because she couldn't hold back her tears.
"Don't worry..." the blonde murmured as he hugged the woman-"Buildings can be rebuilt but the important thing is that you're still alive"
"For now…" Yuriko muttered as she shook her head. The small counter screen that was always in the corner of her vision was a constant reminder that she only had a few days to live.
Cloud didn't say anything else, just shook his head as he looked out the window.

"What the fuck just happened?!" Rika exclaimed in surprise as she grabbed onto the wall from the huge tremor that just happened.
"Captain Rika, I looked!" one of the soldiers exclaimed as he pointed towards the now destroyed Takagi mansion.
"What's going through that idiot Souichiro's head?!" - exclaimed again the Ace of the sniper corps of Japan.
"What do we do now?" - Asked another of the soldiers. They had decided to go to the Takagi mansion in order to support possible civilians and wait for military support.
"I don't know"- Rika denied but her gaze sharpened when she noticed something big moving in the distance- "Soldier! Binoculars!"
"Hai!" The aforementioned exclaimed as he handed over the binoculars. Rika used them without even thinking twice, only to see a group of vehicles leave from the area of the old Takagi mansion - "Survivors..."
"!" The soldiers looked at their leader in surprise as he waited for instructions.
"From their address, I'd say they're heading to sector 2 of this area, possibly Taiei Supermarket" - Rika said seriously - "I think it's a good rendezvous point... who knows? We might even contact base." central in that place"
The others nodded at their leader's words.
"We will continue tomorrow, for now let's rest" - ordered the woman with purple hair and chocolate skin. They had been fighting non-stop ever since the EMP Wave destroyed the electric fence and they were barely able to escape from the airport.
The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief because they honestly couldn't take it anymore.

"I want a situation report!" - shouted a man
old age as he looked at his subordinates.
"General, Takagi Mansion Exploded!" - said one of the soldiers.
"What is that idiot Souichiro thinking?!" The General exclaimed furiously as he hit the counter with his fist. He had planned to go to that place to be able to rescue all the civilians but now he didn't know how to react to this situation- "I want to know if there are any survivors!"
"Sir, according to one of our men, three buses and two cars left the area!" -exclaimed the soldier- "According to his report, the vehicles are heading towards Taiei!"
"Perfect! We were just heading there so we could check for survivors and get supplies along the way!" - exclaimed the General with a smile on his old face-
"Remember, I want everything to be under control...man I don't
follow the military rules, man you're going to have a premature
end... is everything clear?"
"Sir, yes sir!" - exclaimed the soldier. He knew that they had to follow the orders of the man in front of them because he was one of those generals who did not forgive insubordination, that is why those in the barracks called him the Tyrant.

"Taei?" Cloud asked in surprise.
"That was the plan of action" - agreed Yuriko. She was no longer in the blond's arms, but instead she was sitting next to her, although the sight of that dress clinging to her skin was still tempting- "Is something wrong with that place?"
"I feel like we'll find more mouths to feed" - Cloud said simply. He couldn't reveal information about it with Shizuka, Miku and Saeko in this place. Kyoko, Saya, Takashi, Kohta, Airi, and Kaede were in the other vehicle.
"You say that as if you knew the future" - Saeko said curiously.
"Instinct, Saeko... instinct" - Cloud replied with a calm look - "That itself has saved my skin more than once"
"I know, ours has also saved us"-the beautiful Kendo champion agreed, although she understood that there was something else he didn't want to tell but she didn't say anything because he would say it when the time was right. I knew
