Chapter 60

Lin Yifan leaned in, pressing the P90 against the zombie's head and pulled the trigger.

Puff!

A mass of brain matter splattered onto the white coat. Upon closer inspection, Lin Yifan realized it wasn't Asuka, but a corpse covered by a white coat.

Without hesitation, Lin Yifan fired another shot into the corpse's head, then pulled back the white coat to take a look. The high school student's face was contorted, his mouth wide open, and his features were somewhat familiar.

At this moment, beside him, Takagi Saeko screamed, "Ko!"

Nanri Kaori immediately covered Saeko's small mouth, who was in a daze, staring intently at the corpse on the ground.

Hirano's mouth opened wide as he looked at his classmate, "Ko... Ko's body."

Squatting on the ground, Lin Yifan felt little emotion, picked up the white coat, and confirmed it belonged to Asuka, with her name written on it.

Turning his head, Lin Yifan said, "Kaori, answer the call. Dr. Asuka must still be alive."

While speaking, Lin Yifan also observed the surroundings. There was another dead body in the room, also with a headshot.

Ko had two bullet holes in his head, one from just now and the other from before.

Picking up the spent shell casing from the ground and examining it, Lin Yifan stood up and said, "Dr. Asuka left with others. The 5.56mm caliber bullet is likely from the 89式 assault rifle used by the Self-Defense Forces."

Nanri Kaori picked up her phone and pressed the answer button. The voice on the other end was very unclear: "Sss... Kaori, I... sss, rooftop."

The voice was very fuzzy and seemed to be interfered with, making it hard to understand. Even the owner of the voice, whether it was Asuka, Nanri Kaori couldn't be sure.

However, Nanri Kaori quickly found the key word—rooftop.

Nanri Kaori shouted anxiously, "I can't hear clearly, but I got the gist. I'll go to the rooftop, Asuka, wait for me!"

The rooftop, huh?

Lin Yifan was taken aback for a moment. In the original story, the main character, the female lead, and the neighbor all went to the rooftop.

Now, there was a discrepancy in the plot. Ko died in the infirmary, and from the wound, it was clear he was shot in the head after being infected.

If the main character was dead, and the neighbor and the female lead were happily together, that would be interesting.

Lin Yifan raised his gun and said, "Let's go to the rooftop! But be careful, there are a lot of zombies up there."

Saeko, who was standing beside him, came out of her shock and turned to look at Lin Yifan with a puzzled expression, "How do you know?"

"Guess?" Lin Yifan smiled, not explaining further, and led the group upstairs. Saeko, standing behind, gritted her teeth as she watched Lin Yifan's back.

At this moment, in the infirmary, Saeko looked back at Ko's body in the corner. She felt very strange about her childhood friend's death.

It wasn't that she found Ko's death strange, but rather, she felt abnormally calm, with no trace of sadness.

It was as if... Ko had died many times before, and a few images flashed through her mind. Ko being hit by a car, blown up, decapitated, as if she had seen it in a dream.

In her memory, she always cried her heart out, but this time, Saeko felt no sadness at all.

"What's this feeling? It's strange... as if Ko had already died long ago?"

At this moment, Saeko imagined Lin Yifan lying on the ground instead of Ko, and she felt a sudden pain in her heart, quickly shaking off the thought.

Saeko, touching her chin, began to ponder. Why did this scene feel so familiar, especially the image of the school filled with zombies, which didn't seem strange at all.

Suddenly, Hirano's voice interrupted her thoughts.

"High School Student, hurry up, it's dangerous."

"Got it."

Saeko ran out of the infirmary, not looking back at the corpse in the corner.

The group sprinted to the rooftop. As Lin Yifan had predicted, the rooftop was filled with zombies, though sparsely, the number was still terrifying.

Facing the sparsely arranged zombies, Lin Yifan didn't use the machine gun, as there was only one drum left.

Lin Yifan and Hirano switched to burst fire mode, basically firing at a distance of about ten meters, ensuring one shot per head.

For a moment, the sound of the silencer echoed on the rooftop, and the zombies, moaning, slowly approached, one by one falling to the ground.

After eliminating nearly fifty zombies, the rooftop was finally cleared, with the bodies piling up in a crescent shape around them.

"Last magazine," Hirano ejected the empty magazine from his gun.

"Same here, but we still have the revolver and the Desert Eagle, enough to break through. We should thank those Self-Defense Force members at the entrance." Lin Yifan grinned, loading the last fifty bullets.

After clearing the zombies on the rooftop, the group could finally relax and take a look around.

The situation was not much different from the plot. On the rooftop, there was an independent storage room, with the stairs blocked by debris, clearly indicating that the survivors were inside.

"They're in there, I think."

Pointing at the storage room, the group exchanged glances and stepped over the bodies to move forward.

Climbing the stairs, Lin Yifan looked back at the four people behind him, who nodded, indicating they were ready.

Everyone held their guns, prepared for the worst, ready to deal with any sudden situations.

Bang, bang, bang!

Lin Yifan pounded on the wooden board, shouting, "Dr. Asuka!"

Receiving no response, after a while, Lin Yifan pounded harder.

"Get lost, we don't accept survivors! Leave now!"

A familiar voice roared from inside.

The group looked at Lin Yifan, lowering their voices, "What do we do?"

"Only one way, climb over. Hirano, you squat down, I'll go up and check."

"R... Really?"

"Of course."

The chubby Hirano squatted down against the wooden board, and Lin Yifan, with the P90 slung over his shoulder, stepped on Hirano and leaped over the obstacle.

"Damn it, I said don't come in!"

A punk with a yellow hair, holding an M4, shouted at Lin Yifan.

When their eyes met, they both froze.

Wait, the 5.56mm shell casings in the infirmary, weren't they from the 89式?

Regardless of where the punk got the M4, the shell casings were from a 5.56mm bullet!

Realizing this, Lin Yifan, knowing the punk wouldn't dare to shoot, immediately aimed his submachine gun at him, "I'm in, what are you going to do about it?"

Seeing the gun pointed at him, the punk instinctively took a few steps back, then remembered he had a gun and shouted, "I... I..."

"What are you going to do?"

As he spoke, Lin Yifan kicked the punk's rifle away and pressed the P90 against his forehead.

"I... I... I didn't do anything..." The punk trembled, too scared to move, after all, he was just a student, too inexperienced.

"Hey, mister, don't move around." A dyed-haired delinquent girl suddenly appeared, pointing a gun at Lin Yifan's temple.

At this moment, Nanri Kaori climbed over, aiming her sniper rifle at the girl, "Drop the gun, kid, I'm a police officer."

"Tch, police, big deal! Lady, it's the apocalypse, we don't listen to you."

Another student appeared, flipping Nanri Kaori off.

At this moment, Lin Yifan finally saw the situation clearly.

A male teacher, sitting with his fingers interlocked, smiled evilly, with several students holding guns beside him.

Lin Yifan's eyes twitched. Those guns, weren't they the ones he had hidden before? How did these people get them?

The teacher, dressed in a suit and looking particularly sinister, waved his phone, "Oh, isn't this my student, Lin Yifan? The underachiever from across the sea."

Only then did Lin Yifan remember who this guy was. His class teacher, Shito Koichi, the son of a politician, and the leader of the cult survivor group in the original story.

His father was a politician, skilled at brainwashing.

"Was it you who made the call?" Nanri Kaori pointed her gun at Shito.

Shito, with a smile, suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Thank you, thank you for coming to rescue us. Otherwise, we wouldn't know how to get out."

"Where's Asuka!" Nanri Kaori shouted angrily at Shito, as Asuka was not there.

Shito picked up a key and jingled it, "Put down your guns, or I'll drop the key to the storage room. Time is running out, and inside, a male student is mutating. If he turns into a zombie, the lovely Dr. Asuka will... hehehe."
