บท 13: Obtaining Weapon And Medicine In The School Building

When Ayame discovered that zombies had entered the school, she knew it was urgent to grab a weapon and leave the school. The school lacked non-perishable food and to survive in this world, Ayame knew that it was paramount to obtain weapons and food first before securing or building a base.

While Ayame passed by classroom after classroom in the school hallway, she had already stolen a school backpack from one of those classrooms. She wasn't caught due to those students being out of the classroom, likely from attending gym class.

Afterward, she headed to the baseball club room to steal a metal baseball bat.

Fortunately, she was fast enough that there weren't any other players in the baseball club room.

"Although I prefer fighting without any weapons since my martial arts are at a high level, it still doesn't hurt to have a backup weapon in case I fight against hoards of zombies. If possible, I should search for a police station to steal their guns but that's unrealistic considering some players might have already obtained the identity of a policeman and those NPCs are no different from real humans."

"And even if I obtain a gun, my marksmanship isn't as good as my martial arts. Sigh, if only brother was here. Brother's physical abilities are trash but he is still a capable marksman."

Lamenting at how only she was forced to participate in the death game but not with her brother, Ayame shook her head and didn't think too much about it.

After all, what's done was done.

There were only ten billion humans in Blue Star yet out of those ten billion, she was one of the chosen one thousand players brought into this realistic death game.

In Blue Star, there were only five major powerhouses. They were none other than the Phoenix Empire, Freedom Eagle Federation, Sakura Shogunate, European World Alliance, and the Dragon Empire.

The one thousand players were randomly chosen from the entire Blue Star and each of those five major powerhouses would have 200 players forced to participate in the death game.

In other words, Shiro Ayame who came from the Phoenix Kingdom was one of the two hundred players who were forced to participate in the Death Game. The chances of being picked were so low yet it just so happened she was one of two hundred lucky or unlucky ones.

Whether it was good luck or bad luck, Ayame could only determine until the end of the game. If she lost, then it was her bad luck but if she won, then it was her good luck.

Ayame wasn't that confident she could win and become the top three survivors but she decided to at least try her best.

After securing her weapon, Ayame headed to the school infirmary where medicines were stored there.

'Not only is food needed, medicines are valuable as well. Although they couldn't be used to cure the zombie virus, it is still useful for fevers and other illnesses.'

'Since this is a game, there should be some NPCs who need medicine and those NPCs might have useful items which I would need later on. Money is no longer useful in the zombie apocalypse and it's only reduced to useless paper. Then, of course, the world will return to bartering.'

'Whatever the reason is, anyone knows that food, medicine, and weapons are essential in the apocalypse. And with how dangerous the zombie waves are, establishing a permanent base is difficult to achieve.'

'Any buildings on the surface can be infiltrated by those waves of zombies and the only safe base is an underground base. But even underground bases suffer from insufficient food so even if I find one, I still have to acquire food from the surface.'

'I don't know how advanced in technology this world is but I shouldn't pull the cart before the horse. Focus more on completing the goals of the present and only plan for the future after I obtain the necessary items. I'll obtain the three essentials first before finding or establishing a base.'

Having that thought in mind, Ayame ran inside the school building until she arrived at the school infirmary.

She was lucky that the zombies hadn't infiltrated the school building yet so she hurriedly stashed some of the medicines in the school infirmary inside her backpack.

But when Ayame was about to leave the school infirmary, a male high school student blocked the door and gazed at her with lustful eyes.

"Tsk! If not for the game rules, I would love to bang a beauty like you. I thought I could enjoy this lawless zombie apocalypse world to my heart's content without the shackles of the real world's laws. But since I can't due to the rules imposed upon this game world, then hand over the metal bat as well as the medicines you stole!"

"If you don't, I will kill you! The rules don't prevent us from killing each other and as a player, you don't want to die, right?"

"A girl like you can't defeat a man like me. So hand over all your valuable belongings and I won't kill you."

The male high school student, whose real name was Tawagoto Sukamu, threatened to kill Ayame if she didn't comply with his demands.

Tawagoto Sukamu was speaking the sakura language but Ayame could understand it.

In the game lobby, the game had already asked the players to choose the language of their preference and Ayame had chosen the phoenix language. So even if other players spoke foreign languages, it would be automatically translated by the game to their preferred language.

Of course, even without the game's translations, Ayame could still understand and speak the sakura language since she and her brother came from both sakura and phoenix descent.

When Ayame heard Tawagoto Sukamu's threat, she didn't want to waste any time especially with the zombies already entering the school buildings. So, she responded to Sukamu's threat by throwing her metal bat at him.

Sukamu was taken aback by Ayame's decisive attack and he didn't expect her to retaliate. However, he was still fast enough to dodge the metal bat.

But when he dodged the metal bat, Ayame had already arrived in front of him and punched his neck, causing Sukamu to pass out.

Picking up the metal bat that she had thrown earlier, Ayame knew that killing Sukamu would waste her time to escape from this school so she no longer cared about him and immediately headed to the first floor of the school building.

However, when she arrived at the school staircase, a zombie pounced towards her and wrestled her!

บท 14: Special Event NPC: Old School Janitor

On the rooftop of the tallest school building, an old man wearing janitor clothing was gazing towards another school building adjacent to his current location.

The old man's gaze seemed to see through walls, he observed how a zombie jumped towards a white-haired girl and wrestled her.

With concern, the old man spoke, "My sister should be able to defeat that zombie. Even if she can't, I won't interfere and save her. Anyway, this isn't truly a death game so if she loses, she won't truly die so I don't have to interfere."

Having the mindset of a spectator, the old man didn't plan to interfere in the game unless he wanted to make it more interesting.

The old man was none other than Weiss S. Albus who was currently an NPC in Zombie Survival Online.

On the school rooftop where Weiss was, there were stacks of boxes filled with non-perishable food such as canned foods and instant foods. In other stacks of boxes were also medicines of almost every kind.

All of them were placed neatly stacked on the school rooftop. If other players knew of this, they wouldn't hesitate to kill Weiss just to loot all of the items here and keep it all to themselves.

After all, Weiss looked like an old school janitor so those players would be confident to defeat a frail old man.

Although Weiss had made rules to prevent rape and sexual harassment, he didn't prevent killing, or else it would be too boring. Especially in a zombie apocalypse world where society's laws were nonexistent, it wouldn't be unusual for those players and even NPCs to kill others just to plunder their food or weapons.

Weiss had programmed all of the NPCs to have the same sentience as that of a human. Unless those players revealed themselves, they wouldn't be able to differentiate a player from an NPC.

Currently, the role that Weiss took was a special event NPC. As long as a player entered this school rooftop and finished the old school janitor's task, they would be able to receive all of the loot here.

While Weiss was observing his sister's actions, he noticed that Ayame managed to kill the zombie with her metal baseball bat by crushing its head.

After defeating the zombie, Ayame proceeded to descend from the school staircase.

Seeing Ayame's successfully eliminating the zombie, Weiss heaved a sigh of relief, "As expected of my sister, she is a skilled fighter."

"I already know that the world where I'm transmigrated is none other than a parallel world. I transmigrated to my parallel self's body where not only I didn't practice any martial arts, but I have a sister who did so."

"My identity in this world is that of a top hacker in this world. On the other hand, my sister is a game streamer—a very popular one at that. After all, Ayame is a very beautiful girl gamer so she has a lot of fans."

"Whenever Ayame would be bashed online or have her social media accounts attacked by hackers, my previous self dealt with all of it. And for self-defense, Ayame learned martial arts while I learned gun marksmanship."

"Like me, Ayame must have treated Zombie Survival Online as nothing but a game even after I did a game announcement revealing that players who die in this game will die in real life."

"As expected of my sister! A prodigy brother like me would also have a prodigy sister. The genes of the family are so good."

While praising his sister, Weiss also praised himself. He didn't have any problems with praising himself since it was the truth.

"However, even if Ayame can survive this zombie apocalypse, could she find this special event location? If she could, then she would obtain not only boxes of food and medicine but also the space storage bracelet that came along with it."

"If not, then she could only blame her luck. After all, this special event location is crucial for surviving longer in Zombie Survival Online. The space storage bracelet is useful for storing all of the hoarded items inside it. It's like having a portable warehouse and it has the cubic size of an average classroom. But with Ayame's mindset, she might not have the thought of wasting her time to explore the other areas of the school premises."

"Whoever obtains the space storage bracelet will become one of the top 3 survivors as long as they aren't stupid enough to make rookie mistakes."

Weiss wondered while stroking his white beard, looking at other school buildings where players fought or ran away from zombies.

In the game world, even if he is killed, he could resurrect in the body of another NPC. At least, that was the only cheat he enabled in terms of preserving his life.

While Weiss was observing what had transpired in the entire school, he perceived someone ascending towards the school rooftop using the staircase.

After half a minute had passed, the door that leads to the school rooftop opened, showing the appearance of a high school boy entering the school rooftop.

When the high school boy saw the stacks of boxes, his eyes were filled with greed since he could see that some of those boxes were opened and showed food and medicine.

But after seeing the old school janitor, the high school boy frowned before asking, "You should be an NPC, right? If you were a player, you would have already packed all of these and used them for yourself."

Without waiting for the old school janitor to reply to his question, the high school boy pointed the bokken (wooden sword) in his hand toward the old school janitor and threatened, "Hand over all of the food and medicine or else I'll kill you with my one-sword style sakura swordsmanship."
