At the motorcycle shop, Shinonome, Shima Rin, and Kagamihara Nadeshiko sat around a table, carefully examining the flyers Gabriel had brought back.
CDC, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, commonly known as the CDC.
Dongyun didn't know what CDC meant, but someone in the audience knew and told him in the comments.
Great, it's not CEDA, it's CDC.
Knowing that this was an organization that also existed on Earth in another world, and not the one in "Left 4 Dead," Shinonome felt a little better.
Leaving aside the fact that both protagonists in Left 4 Dead are asymptomatic carriers, the special infected in the game would pose a huge threat if they appeared. Running back to their corpses is already troublesome enough; adding special infected on top of that would make life unbearable.
After reading the flyer, Shinonome looked at Gabriel, who was standing guard behind the door, and asked, "Were you seen by the people on the plane?"
"Ah."
Gabriel nodded.
She was certain that she had been seen by the people on the fighter jet.
"So what if you see it?"
Dongyun thought about it and wasn't too worried.
When he planned to send Xiao Jia into the sky to observe the road conditions and distract the zombies, he was prepared for Xiao Jia to be known by the whole world.
Although the zombie virus is airborne, unless the virus infects the entire world immediately and less than one in ten thousand people are immune to the airborne virus, bringing governments and militaries around the world to a standstill, then it is only a matter of time before the virus and infected people are brought under control by zombies and zombie runners alone.
The virus is spreading too slowly, and airborne transmission alone is not enough to infect everyone.
Even if everyone could be infected, a zombie crisis broke out in Vikland City, and the city went offline. As the world's number one superpower, even if there are various problems at home, it is impossible for them to be so lax as to not notice any problems and wait for the zombie virus to spread throughout the country.
If the whole world knew that Gabriel was an angel, it would definitely cause a sensation.
However, Dongyun didn't hesitate to assume the worst about the United States. The US government was clearly covering up the events in Vikland, and they would certainly cover up the sighting of the angel as well. They were certain the US government would send people to investigate and search for Xiao Jia.
He didn't think it would be a good thing for them if Xiao Jia were found.
Even if a rare book isn't sliced, it's still not a pleasant experience for people to study it.
Besides, human nature is hard to fathom, and the US is a breeding ground for conspiracy theories, some of which are actually true. It's best to avoid the US government if possible. Who knows, Xiao Jia's appearance might be a huge problem for them, and they might have to get rid of her.
Jesus knew who betrayed him, and there are many such people in America.
Dongyun doesn't want to discriminate against anyone.
Unfortunately, both have historical legends like "The Last Supper," so it's always good for him to be cautious for Xiao Jia's safety.
There's absolutely no new information about Vikrant on TikTok. His posts on TikTok haven't received any responses, so it seems the news has been blocked. He can't get anything out about Vikrant or the zombie virus outbreak.
Dongyun turned back and stared at the flyers on the table, lost in thought.
Since planes are dropping leaflets over the city, and these leaflets are detailed "Emergency Evacuation Operation Manuals," it means that Vikran City is not only under lockdown online, but also offline. When they try to escape to Vikran City on motorcycles, they might run into the army that is sealing off the infected area.
Because Xiao Jia was spotted by the pilot, they couldn't afford to encounter the military. If Xiao Jia were recognized, all sorts of trouble would ensue. Furthermore, in various zombie-themed works, the military doesn't have a particularly positive image; he worried that if they encountered the military, they would be shot by soldiers without warning.
However, the fact that planes dropped the Emergency Evacuation Operation Manual indicates that the US government and military are still in operation and have not abandoned the survivors in Vikland and the surrounding infected areas.
At least, they haven't given up on the surface.
If they can leave Vikland and get through the army's blockade, they can resettle in a safe place.
But after settling down again, they still want to find a way to get permanent residency in Japan.
He had a feeling that even if the US could control the virus now, it would cause some unexpected problems later, leading to another outbreak. That's how some zombie movies depict it, so he had to be cautious.
Dongyun shared his thoughts with the audience and the three girls.
Most viewers agreed with his guess, and Xiaojia, Nadeshiko, and Rin-chan said they would listen to him.
Gabriel has virtually no knowledge of the American military, and neither do Shima Rin and Kagamihara Nadeshiko. They won't participate in the discussion; it's entirely up to Shinonome to decide. If Shinonome wants to make contact with the military, then he will; if he doesn't want to, then he won't.
More than an hour after the fighter jet's solo flight carrying the message, four more helicopters appeared in the skies above Vikland. Three of them were there to pick up people, while the other was there to search for someone—the angelic girl the pilot had witnessed earlier.
The reason why Vikland has become like this may be related to that angel.
Chapter 20 Special Survivors
"Hey, over here! We're here!"
"Stop shouting, they're not here to save us."
"No way, maybe they just didn't see us."
"It's probably because ordinary people like us aren't worth their saving."
On the rooftop of a two-story building in Vikland.
The red-haired girl waved her hands toward the sky, trying to attract the attention of the helicopter nearby. Beside her was a short-haired blue-haired girl who was trying to persuade her to stop shouting. Behind them were two other girls, a blonde girl with a side ponytail and a gloomy pink-haired girl, who spoke one after the other.
"Ah, why? Why did this happen?"
The red-haired girl leaned against the railing, her hands covering her head.
She was on the verge of a breakdown; she simply couldn't understand what was going on today.
Have a good time at the beach with your bandmates and senior band members.
They went there happily, had a great time, and came back happy too. But why did the subway they were on change, the country they were in change, and the world they were in change just by blinking?
Kita Ikuyo couldn't understand it.
She knew this was time travel, but she couldn't understand it; there were just too many things she couldn't comprehend.
Why did they travel through time? Why were there no people in their carriages? Why were there various weapons and equipment in their carriages? Why were they not only skilled at using these weapons, but also had a crosshair appear in front of their eyes when they picked them up?
Well, she actually knew that this thing was probably a system.
As a trendsetter, she was familiar with light novels and knew that the aiming reticles and the ability to skillfully use firearms and melee weapons that appeared on the characters came from the system.
However, Kita Ikuyo didn't want to be transported to another world. Even if she had to, she didn't want to be transported to a zombie apocalypse world. Instead, she wanted to be transported to a world of swords and magic, reincarnated as a villainous rich girl with only doom flags in otome games.
"Kita..."
Seeing the usually energetic and lively Kita Ikuyo become depressed, the blonde girl with a side ponytail named Iji Chi Nijika didn't know how to comfort her.
Because she was also feeling down at that time.
Where is this place? Is it still Japan? After a long day of playing, she and Ryo got on the train and closed their eyes to rest.
Unexpectedly, when Kita and Pochi opened their eyes again after hearing their surprised voices, they were greeted by an unfamiliar carriage and a dark tunnel, as well as various guns, weapons and ammunition in the carriage.
Then, a line of text and a three-minute countdown appeared in front of them.
[Guide: Equip weapons, wait for the subway to arrive, watch out for zombies, and escape the subway station]
【03: 00】
Although they were confused and at a loss, they obediently did as instructed after confirming that everyone could see the message.
The four girls all knew something about zombies.
Furthermore, Yamada Ryo and Ijichi Nijika noticed the resemblance to a game in the equipment they had in their carriage.
After shouldering their backpacks, equipping themselves with firearms, and carrying ammunition, magazines, and homemade bombs, and even filling a net bag with Molotov cocktails, three minutes were up. Just as the train arrived at the station and was slowing down to a stop, they saw zombies rushing down the stairs, along with a terrified crowd.
Ichi Nijika seemed to realize something.
Just like playing a game, once they hold the gun, a crosshair appears in front of them, and wherever their crosshair points, the bullets will hit precisely that spot.
Unfortunately, the guns have recoil, causing the bullets to deviate from the crosshair, which means they need to control the recoil to accurately hit the zombies.
Recalling how they fought their way out of the subway station, how they were chased into the alley by zombies, and how they managed to escape the pursuit of the zombies who couldn't climb ladders by climbing the outdoor cage ladder of the building while being blocked by hordes of zombies in front and behind, Ichiji Nijika felt it was all very unreal.
It wasn't just that they were temporarily safe on the rooftop, or that they inexplicably learned how to use guns, and that their physical strength actually allowed them to escape to this place carrying heavy firearms and backpacks filled with ammunition, magazines, incendiary bombs, and homemade bombs.
"The good news is that we are still alive; the bad news is that we have no food, I am thirsty, and I am hungry."
Seeing her close friends Nijika Ijichi and Ikuyo Kita both depressed, Ryo Yamada didn't know how to comfort them, but she changed the subject to something else.
They had weapons and backpacks, but no food or water.
The sun was very strong, and although it wasn't very hot, it wasn't a good idea for them to stay in the sun all the time.
"This is terrible news."
Hearing Yamada Ryo's words, Ijichi Nijika was no longer depressed, but she became very distressed.
Because she woke up to find herself in a post-apocalyptic survival game, her thoughts were a complete mess. But even with all that confusion, she knew they couldn't just sit there and wait to die.
Although they couldn't figure out whether they had traveled to a parallel world or had just arrived in America during a zombie virus outbreak, they needed to find food and fresh water, a safe haven, and figure out what was going on in this world.
They also received the flyers that were handed out on the plane earlier.
Fortunately, Kita Ikuyo and Ijichi Nijika, two of the four, had good English scores. Even though they had some difficulty reading it, they still knew that the leaflet was an "Emergency Evacuation Manual" and basically understood its contents.
Where can we find a shelter?
Ichi Nijika turned around and glanced at the tightly closed rooftop door.
The building they were in was a two-story structure, but they hadn't paid attention while fleeing and didn't know what it was for. They only saw that the first floor was closed, and the main door was tightly shut. They didn't know if there were zombies inside, or if there was any food or water.
