บท 20: Winston, The Twelve-Year-Old Boy With Two Pistols!
Faced with the twelve-year-old boy's threat, Ayame dared not move since she had a lot of experience with guns. At least, her brother was the best at wielding it and could kill her despite her proficiency in martial arts.
She was well aware that even an emo twelve-year-old boy could kill her with two pistols.
However, unlike Ayame's cautious approach, most of the students and teachers were unfazed by the threat of the twelve-year-old boy.
Most of them believed that the twelve-year-old boy was just lucky in killing those zombies. And even if the twelve-year-old boy was good with using those two pistols, they don't believe that a twelve-year-old boy would have the guts to kill humans like them.
After all, zombies didn't have sentience while humans did. Even they couldn't easily kill another human and it would take some mental preparation for them to do that, let alone a twelve-year-old boy.
Not only did they covet the car key obtained by the twelve-year-old boy, but they also wanted to steal his two pistols. Furthermore, the twelve-year-old boy was wearing a backpack which they believed to contain not only food but also ammo for those two pistols.
Their greed had clouded their mind and they didn't even think of the reason why a twelve-year-old boy got a hold of two pistols in the first place.
"Yo kid, let us big brothers protect you. You just need to hand over the car key and two pistols and we will protect you from those zombies."
A gangster-like high school student approached the twelve-year-old boy. But before he could reach the twelve-year-old boy, the twelve-year-old boy decisively pointed one of his pistols towards the gangster-like high school student and pulled the trigger!
The sound of a gunshot resounded in the school as the gangster-like high school student fell to the ground with a hole in his head.
Countless zombies were attracted by the gunshot and they started flooding inside the school through the opened school gate.
Witnessing the zombies flooding into the school, the students and teachers no longer cared about the car key or the death of the gangster-like high school student. Their survival instincts kicked in and they all fled out of the scene and headed to the back gate of the school.
The front gate was already flooding with zombies so they attempted to try their luck on the back gate.
The car key and the two pistols no longer mattered to them. After all, life was more important!
Especially the teachers who owned a car immediately rushed to the back gate where their cars were parked. Other students also followed suit and formed an alliance with their homeroom teachers.
While the majority of them had left, not all of them had abandoned the twelve-year-old boy.
Shiro Ayame and Kayden Flynn remained and assisted the twelve-year-old boy in clearing the zombies.
"Kid, let's form an alliance. You seem skilled in handling those two pistols of yours. I'll show my sincerity by being your driver as well as a porter. I have a lot of supplies at hand, whether it's food or medicine."
Kayden offered while slamming his metal baseball bat toward the neck of a zombie.
Not wanting to be outdone, Ayame killed the zombies more efficiently than Kayden and offered, "Little brother, I can become your bodyguard and my close-quarters combat is top-notch. You can kill zombies with your pistols from afar while I can protect you if the zombies ever come close."
Winston, the twelve-year-old boy, didn't reply to their offers yet as he was focused on eliminating all of the zombies that entered his eyesight.
When his pistols had run out of bullets, Winston reloaded his pistols swiftly as he removed the empty magazines and replaced them with the ones he had stored in his pockets.
Out of the three of them, Winston killed the most zombies which was followed by Ayame. As for Kayden, he had the least zombies killed amongst them since he only had the physical capabilities of an F+ grade so he couldn't compare to Ayame's E+ grade stats.
However, that didn't discourage Kayden since he knew that his advantage didn't lie in combat but in being a walking warehouse.
'Although I never planned to form an alliance with other NPCs or players due to the risk of being betrayed by them, I have to admit that it will be difficult for me alone to survive in this world infested with zombies.'
'This white-haired girl is literally stronger than me and I don't doubt that she could survive on her own. The same went for this twelve-year-old boy whose marksmanship is top-notch. As long as I form an alliance with them, I don't mind revealing my special event item as long as it would show my worth to them and earn their trust.'
With those thoughts in mind, Kayden became more eager to form an alliance with Ayame and Winston.
However, Kayden knew that the final decision was dependent on Winston so he could only wait for Winston's response to his and Ayame's offers.
While Winston was spraying volleys of bullets toward those zombies, he frowned when he noticed that there were a few students who only watched on the sidelines and didn't assist them in killing zombies. They were like vultures witnessing the lion fight to the death with the hyenas, waiting for any of the two sides to die and benefit from it.
Noticing Winston shifting his attention toward those students, Ayame and Kayden solemnly looked at them and contemplated whether to deal with them first or not.
After all, those students were like disgusting opportunists waiting for them to exhaust themselves from fighting against the zombies.
While Ayame and Kayden were still hesitating, Winston decided to take the initiative, "Whitey, I can deal with these zombies. You, on the other hand, will knock out those students."
บท 21: A Real Man Knows When To Advance And When To Retreat
When Ayame and Kayden heard Winston's command, the two of them looked at each other and Kayden pointed towards Ayame's hair.
Realizing that Winston referred to her as "Whitey" due to her white hair color as well as also being unaware of her name, Ayame retorted, "I'm not Whitey, I'm Shiro Ayame!"
Shooting the zombies in front of him, Winston nonchalantly replied, "Yeah, yeah, Whitey. Get on with it if you want to form an alliance with me. I don't have all day arguing with you on why you were born with white hair at such a young age."
"Pfft! Hahaha! How old are you, Ayame? Why do you have white hair? Inherited it from your grandma?"
To lighten up the mood, Kayden joked but he was met with Ayame's gaze as well as a gesture of swiping her neck.
Kayden wanted to defend his dignity as a man and he wanted to show off that he wasn't afraid of Ayame's threat. However, when he saw the zombie blood on Ayame's metal bat that was already drenched with it as well as the zombie corpses near Ayame, Kayden decided to remain silent.
'Ah, forget my dignity as a man. I can't beat her. A real man knows when to advance and when to retreat.'
'Also, if not for that kid having two pistols, I wouldn't have suffered alone.'
Averting Ayame's gaze, Kayden shifted his attention to fighting zombies, showing that he didn't see Ayame's gaze and he was busy with what he was doing.
Of course, Kayden could barely fight zombies. Winston and Ayame who saw Kayden's pathetic attempt of killing zombies just shook their heads.
It wasn't that Kayden was truly pathetic. But he was compared to two monsters whose zombie kill count was already six times than his. Nevertheless, for an average human, Kayden was doing quite well and didn't pathetically die.
After getting over and tolerating Winston and Kayden's jokes, Ayame just sighed and went out of their formation, heading towards those students who were fishing in troubled waters.
Noticing that Ayame was heading towards them instead of attacking and holding off those zombies from invading the school, those students who wanted to take advantage of Ayame, Winston, and Kayden's exhaustion after fighting all those zombies had run away like a bunch of cowards.
Even if those students had split up and retreated in different directions, Ayame didn't give up her pursuit and continued catching up to them until she eventually caught one of them.
Striking her metal bat towards that student's leg, the student screamed in pain but Ayame turned a deaf ear to it. She slammed her metal bat towards his four limbs until it broke his bones and crippled him.
Ayame didn't go any further than that and spared his life but Winston and Kayden who saw that knew that Ayame was even making their lives more miserable.
After all, not only that crippled student had to experience the excruciating pain of having his four limbs fractured, but he eventually would meet the demise of getting bitten by zombies yet having no means of resistance to it.
From another perspective, killing those students would be far more merciful than crippling them and letting them get bitten by zombies.
However, Winston and Kayden didn't have any comments regarding Ayame's actions since the two of them weren't the holy mother.
But after witnessing Ayame's decisiveness even after fighting a fellow human, Kayden gulped and watched Ayame's action in bewilderment.
'Damn! This girl is fierce! If I had offended her any further, I might be the one laying flat on the ground with my limbs crippled!'
'Fortunately, I, a real man, knows when to advance and when to retreat!'
While Kayden was praising himself for being a real man, Kayden immediately remembered something.
"Ayame, isn't your metal bat coated with zombie blood? You broke that guy's limbs and the zombie blood on the metal bat had already entered his wounds. It won't be long before he becomes infected by the zombie virus and mutates into a zombie."
In response to Kayden's words, Ayame turned a deaf ear to it as she left the crippled student and headed to other students who had run away.
Knowing that he was ignored by Ayame due to that previous incident, Kayden sighed, 'Girls can be so petty for little things.'
"Wait, please kill me! I don't want to suffer from more pain and become a zombie!"
With snot and tears on his face, the crippled student started begging for either Winston or Kayden to kill him.
However, his begging had only attracted the attention of some zombies which caused them to head towards the crippled student, reducing the pressure on Winston and Kayden's side.
But when the zombies were about to bite the crippled student, they sensed the zombie virus within his body so they refrained from biting the crippled student and instead, they returned to attack Winston and Kayden who were sensed by them as humans.
A few zombies had also headed to where Ayame was. So when Ayame was pursuing those high school students who had run away, the zombies were also pursuing her.
Nonetheless, the several seconds worth of diverting the zombies' attention had relieved the pressure on Winston as he had already killed tons of zombies during that time frame.
In the end, Ayame eventually returned to Winston and Kayden only to find out that the zombies were already wiped out by Winston and Kayden.
Instead of fighting zombies, Winston and Kayden were busy lifting the zombie corpses that had piled up and blocked the school gate, setting them aside.
"Whitey, you are late."
"Since you are here, help us move these corpses so that we can drive the car out of here."
