บท 20: New world
We walk down the street and look for some alley where I can safely store the boxes in my inventory and use the grimoire.
After a few minutes I found the right place, it wasn't difficult because it was still too early and most people continued to sleep comfortably in their beds. As intended, I throw the boxes in my inventory and immediately summon the grimoire that appears with a bright flash.
With the Grimoire in front of us I take out a 2,000C that I had fused into a single Crystal before using my smaller crystals. The grimoire opens upon feeling the energy of the crystal, I insert the crystal between its pages and it begins to absorb it slowly.
After it finished absorbing it, on the blank pages, a variety of characters appear, which I read as "Energy for the creation of a dimensional portal acquired. Please use the soul link to provide a destination."
I think of the world we intend to travel to and more characters appear on the page "Destination received, linking worlds ... worlds successfully linked. Opening portal"
With the last words the grimoire shines again more intensely and then it disappears leaving what it looks like a dimensional door.
"It's done Kurisu, we can go now"
"Y-yes"
I extend my arm and take her hand, and then we cross through the portal. In the next second we are in a dark space and I hear the systems voice.
[Beep]
[Interdimensional trip detected ... plain detected ... implementing system support]
[Please choose from the following options to provide the appropriate missions accordingly:
-Help humans
-Exterminate humans]
... I chose the first. I may have differences of opinion with some people, but I don't want to kill everyone. As long as they don't bother me, we'll both be fine.
[Beep]
[-100C to choose a specific destination
-10,000C to create an identity and background in this world
-100,000C to choose what timeline you wished to enter into the world]
Damn, why did you put the second and third if you know that I don't have the resources to do it. Are you making fun of me? Fuuu ... well, in the world we are going to, it doesn't matter, but for other worlds it will be better to save crystals since it may be good to have a background in the worlds I travel to.
I use the 100 crystals, I want us to appear on the roof where the plot I know develops at the beginning of anime.
[Beep]
[Adjustments made]
I felt my body moving again, or rather felt it pulled by something. Soon a feeling of dizziness floods my mind, I also feel that my feet have landed on something. When my eyes stop spinning I see Kurisu holding my hand tightly and with her other hand she touches her head.
While I wait for her to recover I look around us, I notice that we are on the roof of some kind of building, around the edge there was a fence. When Kurisu manages to stand on her own, I walk to the edge of the building.
It can be seen as a metropolis like where Kurisu and I used to live. Cars move through the streets and people in different job uniforms can be seen as well.
"It really is just like my previous world, are you sure you didnt bring me back to it?"
"No, it's a different world from yours"
"Well, at least I think I can get used to it faster than Gaia ah .... if they see us with weapons in this world, won't we be in trouble with the authorities?"
"No, soon the laws will only be things engraved on sheets of paper. Keep your weapons and bullets because you will need them soon"
"Eh? W-what do you mean? What's going to happen?"
"The fall of civilization, look, it's starting"
With my words Kurisu's gaze follows mine, there is a man knocking on door of the rooftop where we are. Soon 2 people approach him, a man and a woman, they seem to be talking to each other, but the man who was at the door bites the other man.
"Kyaaaa!!!"
A shout is heard throughout the area and the woman who raises her voice recieves same fate as her partner. Then as if an epidemic has been triggered the same pattern starts everywhere, outside in the streets cars collide, and smoke from fires begin to generate from all parts of the city ...
"W-what's going on?"
"Does the term "Zombie Apocalypse" sound familiar to you?"
"Zombie Apocalypse?"
While Kurisu continued to watch the bloody show, I speak to Aurora. Does the system contain an antidote for the virus or whatever it is that causes people to become zombies?
[It has one, but there is nothing that turn a zombie back into a human. You can buy a tier 1 antidote that has an effect during the first 10 seconds after a person is bitten for 100C, a tier 2 that has an effect until 1 minute after an individual becomes infected for 1,000C and for 10,000C a tier 3 that helps up to 10 minutes after someone is bitten]
Buy 10 of the first and 2 of the second please. Also, you said before that my body was special, does the virus still affect me?
[That's correct, but it only means that your defenses are stronger, the first medicine for you works like the second, and the others increase one rank similarly]
Great, I have 10 minutes of immunity per 1,000C. Glad about the news I take the vials out, at one end they have a small needle to inject and on the side a button to introduce the liquid into the bloodstream. The 100C vials have a green line and an orange line for the 1,000C ones.
"Kurisu take these and keep them by your side"
"What are they?"
"Antidotes, the one with the green color works for the first 10 seconds in which someone is bitten and the orange for the first minute, keep them with you at all times as they can save your life"
"Yes!"
I give Kurisu 3 green and one orange antidote, she takes them and holds them tightly in her hands. I keep others in my inventory. Is there anything else I should prepare now? I've given Kurisu enough magazines and bullets for the weapon before coming to this world, I also have 8 magazines now. Three in the bag on my right leg and 4 hanging from my belt, also knowing we were coming here I bought silencers for the weapons.

While checking the new missions I received, I heard someone come running up the stairs. Soon three agitated figures arrive, 2 guys and a girl. In the system text box I see their highest developed skill and level [Survivor Level 7], [Self Defense Level 6], on the other man instead of his data, [Infected] shows above his head.
We met with 2 of the protagonists of the anime series and the unfortunate guy who only has a few minutes to live. They notice us and the girl speaks hurriedly.
"People have become monsters, help us block the stairs"
"I know, I've seen it"
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
I answer the woman and the man who was not bitten asks in doubt not recognizing us and realizing that we are not wearing school uniforms, or possibly because of my age knowing that it is not adequate for me to be here or maybe because I'm wearing leather armor. I don't think they would believe me even if I tell them that we come from another world...
"Well ... I thought it was a nice day to go for a walk so we did."
The place falls into a dead silence ... it was the only thing that came to me to say, but with all the shouting and zombies around I guess it wasn't a suitable answer... I should've said that we were from another world and maybe it would be less awkward, I continue talking to break this atmosphere.
"Changing the subject, how long has that guy been bitten?"
"That doesn't matter! It is none of your business!"
"About 5 minutes"
The hysterical girl screams, and the person bitten, answers trying to calm things down. You're not a bad guy, but I can't do anything for you.
"I can only say that you have bad luck, I'm sorry, but you're screwed"
"You!!"
The brown-haired girl with a slightly blond hue is enraged by my comment and Kurisu puts herself between us when she sees the reaction of the girl. Then the protagonist ... I do not remember his name, speaks when seeing that the zombies begin to climb the stairs.
"Now is not the time to quarrel with each other, we must block the stairs or they will come. Quick, everyone help find something to prevent them from passing"
"I'm sorry, but we don't plan on staying here. You can block the stairs once we leave."
With that said I walk down the stairs with Kurisu following my steps. All three are surprised by my statement and actions. Concerned about us, they try to get us to reconsider our plan, but I continued on my way without stopping.
"Wait, it is dangerous. The whole school is plagued by them, they attack any living person who is in their way. Besides, it is not so easy to kill them, they have considerable strength."
"What he says is true. It is safer here."
"You haven't seen them up close, so you don't know how scary they are. Come back quickly"
While they scream, the sound of their voices attracts the zombies. Are they really trying to help or do they want to gather as many as possible to kill us? Well, I think they didn't think things through clearly. I don't feel any bad intentions coming from them ... I inspected them with my skill [Spiritual vision]
The zombies begin to climb the stairs, but because of their clumsiness they stumble and fall. The problem is that a large amount is gathering, eventually even while pushing each other away, they will reach here and that would make it more difficult to get out of here, especially if their numbers are still increasing in the area. Wanting to avoid that, I speak to Kurisu.
"Hurry up, it's not good if they block the entrance to the stairs"
"Yes"
I unsheathe [Black Moon] and draw my Beretta holding a weapon in both hands, Kurisu takes her Beretta and stands next to me. We went down the stairs quickly and I shot the zombie on the ground trying to get up, the whistle of the weapon is heard and the bullet pierces its skull causing it to collapse on the ground again.
[Beep]
[Kill 1 Zombie completed]
"T-Those are weapons?"
"That seems the case, who are they?"
"I don't know, but wouldn't it be better for us if we follow them?"
"It's too late to think about that, we will block the stairs"
I listen to the voices of the three, but eventually ignore them and focus on making our way through the Zombies. They are not strong, the system texts on their heads indicates the [Zombies] are between levels [5-9], but there is a large amount of them... just thinking about the percentage of the city's population that was turned into zombies gives me chills.
"Is it okay to leave them?"
"Haaa ... one guy has one foot in the grave and will soon take the other step forward, I have no problems with the other guy, but honestly I don't really like people like that girl."
"What wrong with her? Although she is a little disturbed, she seems normal to me "
"She is one of those people who seem strong, but in the end wants other people to solve everything in her life. If we stay I would have to kill the one who will become a zombie, and the three of them seem to be in some kind of love triangle, I don't want to carry the girls resentment for killing the bitten guy "
"L-love triangle?"
I respond with a nod continuing forward and we enter the corridor, inside people ran trying to save themselves from zombies. People had lost any kind of bond that previously united them, friends who swore to stay together fled taking advantage of the opportunity when zombies ate their friends. Couples, who vowed to spend the rest of their lives together, abandoned their partners to fate. Adults did what they could to survive at the expense of the young, everything become pandemonium.
Do I really have to save and trust these people to be around me? Well, I guess it could be said that the situation has led them to unleash their survival instinct.
We shot down Zombies while analyzing things around us, when I was thinking all this, I heard Kurisu's voice calling me.
"What do we do Alex? The number of zombies doesn't seem to reduce, even if we kill them it does not seem to end"
"We will try to rescue as many people as we can while looking for a way out of the city. Besides, I want to find two people."
"Who?"
"One who is fit to be a warrior and the other I want to save... right, she has that military friend"
Wooh damn, that was close. I almost told her that I want to save the treasures of all men ... it would be a shame if they end up being bitten by zombies. It is good that I remember that she has another role in the plot besides being a visual enjoyment for the spectators.
Two girls come running towards us chased by zombies, some other zombies are blocking their way, I aim at the zombies in front of us, making a way for the girls to come through. Soon they find themselves panting in front of us with fear expressed in their faces.
"W-who are you?"
"Does that matter? What you two have to do is stay between her and me so you will be safe. We'll make our way out of here."
"T-thank you very much"
"It doesn't matter, just calm down and don't do anything stupid, otherwise you'll have to worry about having a bullet in your head instead of the zombies."
"Ehhhhh?!!"
"A-Alex?"
I activate my emperor aura and direct it at them, their legs tremble and the fear they have for zombies changes towards me. That's fine, I don't want to have to worry about them attacking us from behind.
"Kurisu everything is fine, take care of our rearguard and watch them, I just don't want us to get into some kind of trouble because of their fear for the zombies"
"I understand"
"Hey you, do you know where the infirmary is?"
"T-the infirmary? Y-yes I do"
"Show me the way"
I speak to one of the rescued girls to show us the way, I will get her name later... according to the plot the nurse should not be in danger at the moment, but it is better to make sure. As for the other person that I'm looking for, she can survive by herself so I'll leave her for later.
With the instructions of our two new members, we walk through the corridors of the building, arriving at what looks like the main entrance and on the steps of the stairs was Her. Things never go as planned, I found the other girl first.
With a wooden sword she knocked down a zombie, if you paid attention you could notice that her expression, which should have traces of uncertainty and fear, was replaced by a small smile that was stained with little drops of blood on her cheeks. When the zombie falls, she turns around discovering us and then moves her feet in our direction.
I smile back and we also walk to meet her faster. Well, I'm looking forward to venturing into this world of "High School Of The Dead" with her, it should be very entertaining.
