Preparing to Leave

Checking the train was Otto's job. Shu didn't know anything about it.

Fu Hua and Theresa followed Otto to check the train's power and track issues, while Mei had already gone on board with Himeko to check the various supplies on the train.

Otto estimated that they would be able to start in half an hour. Before that, they could collect some more supplies within the station's perimeter.

Shu felt panicked hearing these words, but he couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.

Finally! He was finally going to safely leave this hellish place!!

Shu was restless;

Shu paced back and forth;

Shu felt uneasy under the gaze of Bronya's eyes.

"Shu..." Bronya looked at Shu, who was full of anxiety, and couldn't help but speak. "You seem very nervous… are you worried about something?"

Shu was stunned. He pursed his lips and nodded.

Bronya was silent for a moment.

She was very familiar with Shu's anxiety… but she didn't know where Shu's anxiety came from. She could only infer Shu's thoughts through information she had learned later.

He was worried about Himeko and Theresa's safety, so Shu was very anxious in the darkness.

He was afraid of encountering Honkai beasts, so he hesitated when choosing to go to the station and the academy.

Although they had ultimately chosen the correct direction, even if she worked backward, Bronya found it difficult to understand.

For example: How did Shu know those results that were almost impossible to analyze?

It could only be that Shu was gambling.

It was clear that Shu hated things like "gambling" with unknown results.

She couldn't persuade him, so she could only try to divert Shu's attention.

"Shu, why don't we go get those weapons?" Bronya raised her head and looked at Shu, saying.

Shu: "..."

So, he still had to go touch the corpses, right?

Shu sighed and could only follow Bronya toward the dead soldiers they had taken down.

At this time, Kiana was standing next to the undead dead soldier that they had all worked together to pin to the ground, looking down at the dead soldier that was no longer moving.

"Huu..." Recalling the battle just now, the little pride in Kiana's heart immediately swelled.

Hey! I actually managed to stall this guy for so long!

"What a hearty battle..." Kiana thought about a lot of harsh words, but in the end, she just looked down at the undead dead soldier, and said with a smile,

"I probably won't forget you for the rest of my life."

Shu, who was walking past with the weapons he had obtained: "?"

"Kiana, what are you doing?" Shu had a headache. He felt that Kiana was good in every way, except that she was greedy, she could eat a lot, and she liked to set flags…

"Ah?" Kiana turned her head. "It's Shu and Bronya. Did you guys take all the dead soldiers' weapons?"

Kiana looked at the scythes that Shu was holding, and said in surprise.

"Yeah. The headmaster's ammunition reserves are running low. If we're not going to replenish them, then we can only consider close combat weapons," Bronya said to Kiana, holding two bows and arrows.

Although they couldn't produce arrows from thin air like the dead soldiers, they could still cut two straight branches to use as arrows.

Bronya was also an expert in this regard.

"That's right. The scythe that Shu gave me is quite useful." Kiana turned back to look at the undead dead soldier. At this time, the scythe was precisely stuck in the undead dead soldier's chest.

It was this scythe that had pinned the undead dead soldier to the ground.

…It's nice, like some kind of monument that's full of artistic bacteria.

"By the way, Shu." At this moment, as if she had remembered something, Kiana turned her head and pulled Shu to look at the two huge black coffins that were on the ground next to the undead dead soldier.

"What exactly are those two coffins?"

Shu was silent for a moment. He searched in his knowledge base, then shook his head. "I'm not sure, but this thing will probably summon more dead soldiers."

"Huh?!" Kiana was shocked. "It can actually summon them!!"

"Didn't I tell you that?!" Shu was also shocked. He thought that Kiana was risking her life by fighting the undead dead soldier in close combat precisely to prevent it from summoning.

"Did you?!" Kiana was even more incredulous, but after thinking about it, Shu seemed to have really said it!

"Kiana is a fool..." Bronya moved her mouth and finally said what she had always wanted to say.

I feel good…

"I…" Kiana was upset. Shu had spoken so quickly back then. She was already good enough that she managed to understand half of what he said!

Shu lowered his head and looked at the two coffins. Suddenly, he had the urge to pry them open.

Crap, I'm having a blind box addiction!

"Why don't we open them and see what's inside?" Obviously, Kiana also had the same idea. "We won't be able to see them summon, but there's no problem looking to see what's inside the coffins, right!"

Shu looked at Bronya, Bronya looked at Kiana, and Kiana looked at Shu. The three of them exchanged glances, and then they tacitly split up to get a scythe each.

"Let me see… these coffins should have a gap…"

"Nails, they don't have nails…"

"…Bronya found where to open them."

"Really?!"

The three of them messed around with the coffins for a while. Finally, they used the scythes from the dead soldiers to pry open the coffins that contained dead soldiers.

That's right, the coffin contained a dead soldier.

A dead soldier in perfect condition was lying straight in the coffin. Just like a deceased person who had been dressed by a mortician, they had their hands folded on their chest, and their eyes were closed peacefully.

Looking at the eye patch and long hair, this should be an archer dead soldier.

"Oh… just looking at them, the dead soldiers don't seem that scary…" Kiana peeked at it, and said leisurely.

"They actually look... quite beautiful?"

Shu and Bronya were shocked. You're really hungry…

Wait, you have Mei. What are you hungry for?!

"Kiana, Shu, Bronya!" At this moment, Mei's voice came, and the three of them turned their heads and saw that Mei was waving at them.

"The inspection is complete! Come on, we're getting ready to depart."

"Okay!" Kiana responded with a loud shout, and then grabbed all the scythes. "Coming!"

Shu turned his head and saw that Bronya had already picked up the two bows and arrows and was running toward the train with Kiana.

Shu felt, once again, that it wasn't good to be empty-handed.

He glanced at the coffin that hadn't been pried open. Oh well, I can't take this with me, and I wouldn't dare to take it anyway.

Should I just take a few suitcases?

After taking two steps, Shu suddenly saw the bicycle lying on the ground.

"Oh yeah, Kiana was pushing this bicycle all the time. She must like it a lot, right?" Shu's eyes lit up. He quickly walked to the bicycle, picked it up, and did a simple inspection.

He had to admit that it had some good quality. After getting smashed by Kiana, it only lost some paint. The tires and the handlebars hadn't been significantly deformed.

"Shu?" Mei poked her head out, looking at Shu in confusion.

Shu waved his hand, pushing the bicycle toward the train. "I'll be right there!"

"What are you dawdling for?" Kiana poked her head out, pouting. Mei had said that she would cook as soon as they set off… "Huh? My bicycle?"

"Yeah, come help me out." Shu smiled and pushed the bicycle to the door.

No one noticed that in the main hall, the coffin that hadn't been opened quietly opened a crack.
