Ch 104. Stubborn Asuna

After breakfast, Yao originally wanted to set off directly.

The typhoon has just passed, and most of the survivors in Chiba should take action at this time. The sooner they start, the more unnecessary conflicts can be avoided.

However, Asuna insisted on tidying up the dishes.

Yao looked at her back who was busy in the kitchen, and did not choose to urge her, but sat patiently on the table stool and waited.

He can understand Asuna's mood at this time, after all, it is the home where she has lived for so long, and it is normal to have some reluctance.

After all, this departure is tantamount to a farewell. It is not impossible to come back once or twice, but it is not necessary.

After arranging the bowls and chopsticks neatly, Asuna wiped her water-stained hands and took off the apron she was wearing.

"Okay?" Yao watched her walk in front of him, "If it drags on, it will be dawn."

"Just one more thing."

Asuna originally wanted to answer " Let's go", but suddenly, as if thinking of something, after saying this, she quickly walked towards the stairs.

It took about five minutes for her to return, and there was a pink hat knitted with wool in her hand.

Yao was taken aback for a moment, could this pink hat be for him?

Seeing his strange expression, Asuna smiled slightly, and raised her hand to put the pink hat on his head.

"I didn't expect the weather to be so cold today, so I didn't knit a suitable hat for Yao-kun in advance, so I'm wronging you, just wear Yui's hat for now."

"You can wear it yourself, I don't need it."

Yao turned his head slightly, not allowing her to successfully put the hat on his head.

Although he may not meet many survivors along the way, when he thinks of himself as a big man wearing such a hat full of youthful and girlish colors, he will feel somewhat awkward in his heart.

"No! You just had a high fever a few days ago. If you relapse because of the cold, I won't put you to sleep again."

Seeing him resist, Asuna frowned slightly, and began to recall the past few day events.

Judging by her posture, if Yao doesn't agree, she probably won't give up until dawn.

"All right, all right."

Seeing her subconsciously treating him as a child again, Yao had a headache, but in order to do bad things smoothly in the future, he still bit the bullet and agreed.

Seeing his helpless expression, Asuna smiled smugly, and quickly put the hat on his head, covering it tightly.

"Walk."

All necessary and unnecessary preparations were done, Yao had no intention of procrastinating any longer, stood up and strode towards the door.

Asuna picked up the rifle that was placed on the dining table, and followed closely behind him. By the way, during this short journey, she quickly recalled his instructions in her mind.

1.      Try not to shoot if you can.

2.      all actions are based on him. If he does not respond when encountering zombies, it represents safety.

3.      If she meets other survivors, even if they are in danger, she can't say anything superfluous, and can preemptively strike if necessary.

Just when she wanted to strengthen her memory of these three important points, Yao had already opened the door, the sound of the howling wind outside and the silence inside the house formed a sharp contrast.

Hasn't the typhoon completely left japan yet?

The slight rain splashed on his face, Yao looked up at the dark sky, holding the blade in his right hand, and walked straight outside.

If the situation is not too dangerous, he is not going to let Asuna participate in the battle, he just needs to use the sharp blade in his hand to kill the zombies.

After all, the noise from the rifle is too loud, without the mixed sound of typhoon as a cover, the nearby zombies would soon follow the source of the sound.

With the sound of the outer door closing, the two appeared on the street.

 Yao and Asuna started to move forward.

Although after a night of buffering time, the water level in the street has dropped significantly at this time.

However, the torrential rain for several days made a lot of rainwater remain on the road at this moment.

Asuna tightly grasped the rifle in her hand, focused her attention on Yao, and followed closely behind him, while trying her best to control the walking speed, so as not to attract the nearby zombies with the sound of treading water.

"Gaarghh..."

The two had just passed a corner, and the low roar of zombies sounded in the dark road.

The right leg that Yao had just raised slowly fell on the water surface, and his left hand was slightly raised, signaling Asuna behind him to keep quiet.

Asuna held her breath, looking at Yao's still back, not daring to take a breath.

She is no stranger to zombies, but this is the first time she has had face-to-face contact with this kind of monster.

At this time, Chiba was no longer shrouded in fog, and her advantage of being familiar with the surrounding streets was reduced by half.

And the little man in front of her didn't seem to have any intention of avoiding the enemy, she could only do what she could do and try not to become a burden.

The two stood still in place, and after about thirty seconds, the vague outline of the enemy appeared in Yao's eyes.

This wandering zombie first looked around in a daze at the dark scene in front of him, and then gradually accelerated his pace, rushing along the faint scent of a stranger in the air.

It just took a few steps forward, its eyes suddenly lit up, and just as it was about to bare its teeth subconsciously, there was a faint sound of piercing through the air.

"Plop!"

Looking at the ordinary zombie kneeling at his feet, with half of his head missing, Yao flicked the liquid on the blade a few times, and turned his head to look back.

"Now start speeding up."

"Eh?" Asuna was a little puzzled, taking advantage of the fact that it was still safe at this time, she quickly asked her doubts in a low voice.

"Yao-kun, shouldn't we be more careful? After all, there is still a lot of water under our feet. If we speed up, I can't control the sound."

Yao waved his hand and patiently explained.

"It's okay, you don't need to control it, I just walked slowly because I want you to get used to it a little bit."

But at this speed, we probably won't be able to reach the Yukinoshita camp in a few days."

"Got it." Asuna nodded.

In the next section of the road, after leaving the area that Yao had explored a few days ago, Asuna began to lead the way.

During the period, the two encountered several waves of lone zombies, including seven or eight ordinary zombies in groups.

But without exception, they all only survived a few rounds under Yao's blade, and then fell into the stagnant water and lost their vitality.
