After saying goodbye to everyone, which surprised Takashi's group, we left the mansion with our humvee. Miss Shizuka drove us toward my house. Along the way, there were corpses of many zombies littering on the roads, mostly dealt with by Don Takagi's group.
Fortunately, there weren't that many intact cars along the road, so we could move smoothly.
"We're here," I announced from inside the passenger seat after arriving at the walled house compound.
"This is your house?" Miss Shizuka asked, impressed. She stopped the car just before the entrance, looking at the wall from behind the windscreen. "Wow, it looks expensive. It's a bit bigger than Rika's house."
"It's not that surprising. The Busujima family has always been well-off since long ago." Saya, sitting beside the nurse at the back, comnted smugly. "You even live in this kind of place alone, no wonder you're so selfish and arrogant."
"I don't rember living alone here, genius girl." I smiled at the pinkette's remark sarcastically. "While I am selfish, I am not that arrogant. Am I?"
She just snorted and crossed her hands.
Miss Shizuka giggled while Saeko chuckled. The latter chid in and joined to tease Saya, "Yes, indeed. Brother isn't that arrogant, he knows his limit and never steps beyond that line."
The atmosphere beca pleasant as laughter filled the car. Once we cald down, I told the beautiful teacher to open the gate through the driver's window. The house's electricity still ran normally, thus making the motorized gates function properly.
Driving the car forward, we passed the gate and entered the yard, parking the vehicle near the entrance. I hopped off the Humvee with a backpack on my back, carrying both an M1A1 and Wildcat crossbow.
I checked sothing near the entrance and nodded in satisfaction.
'No one tried to enter.'
Before leaving the house back then, I prepared sothing near the door to check whether soone sneaked in during my absence.
Although there were high walls separating my house from the outside world, I still worried soone could climb it sohow.
I unlocked the door and let the others in, welcoming them to the living room.
"Saeko, can you show them their room? We will stay here for a few days to prepare. anwhile, I will check our supplies and stuff. Can I ask you guys to check around the house while I do my job?" I said to Saeko.
Saeko nodded and smiled warmly.
"As you wish, brother."
I turned to the other two girls.
"Make yourself comfortable first, ladies."
"Ohh~ This house feels really cozy and hoy," Miss Shizuka cooed as she looked around curiously like a kid entering an amusent park for the first ti. "That carpet? It's similar to the one Rika has! And that television is big!"
"Hmph! Mine's better," Saya boasted while looking around with a disdainful frown, "Busujima family's wealth is nothing compared to Takagi's influence."
I just chuckled seeing those two contrasting figures. Then, I went downstairs and walked to the storage room. The door was locked by a few heavy-duty padlocks, making it extrely hard to break in without the proper tools or enough strength.
I put down my weapons and bags, unlocked the locks, and opened the thick door made of alloy, revealing a very spacious basent room. The place was dark so I imdiately pressed on the light switch at the side of the doorway.
Turning on, it lit up a room filled with various boxes, shelves, wooden crates, etc., each filled with goods ranging from foods, water bottles, ammunition, camping supplies, clothing and daily necessities.
There was no weapon here, those were put in a different storage elsewhere.
'It looks fine. Now then, let's check everything quickly.'
With that, I began checking everything inside the containers carefully, counting them thoroughly one by one.
'Dried beans. Check.'
'Rice sacks. Check.'
'Canned foods and snacks. Check.'
And so forth and so forth. A couple of hours later I finished inspecting the things stored here. Everything seed undamaged and intact, thankfully.
"The dical kits for sickness and wounds are enough. I actually have three rolls of ropes and 5 sets of radio. Walkie talkie, check. Fishing gears and hunting gears. All done."
However, there were a few exceptions which caught my attention when I double-checked everything once again. Did I miss sothing or forget? It happens sotis. Humans tend to forget things.
'Alright, let's stock more using my shops. Grenades, bullets, flashbangs... Let's use around 400 points to stack on weapons.'
That way, Saeko and the others wouldn't be suspicious when I suddenly pulled out sothing. I would use Miss Rika's na if they asked where I got them.
Usually it wouldn't work. But for an airheaded nurse and two people who knew nothing about Miss Rika? I guessed they would believe .
"2 Grenades for 100 points. 5 Flashbangs for 125 points. With this we have a total of 4 grenades and 5 flashbangs for ergencies. That left with 2,685 points. Wow, it decreases so fast when I actually use them to buy sothing."
But I wouldn't regret this. I would give them a flashbang each and I would hold 2. As for grenades? It's too dangerous for them to use. Maybe I will have Saeko hold onto 2 grenades, that would be good enough.
"Now, the second shelter should be located near here. If I am not wrong, it's in Shintoko Third Elentary School."
The school was also described in manga.
Based on the wiki, it was where Takashi's mother worked. The manga also ended when Rei's mother joined Takashi's group and headed there, so I knew nothing much about what happened inside.
Not that I would know what happened anymore with Resident Evil mixed into the world.
"It should be around 10 kiloters or so. Hmm... The roads aren't exactly safe."
Not that it's a problem. My goal of visiting that place was to et JSDF.
While I already decided to go overseas with ships, it would be nice if the JSDF helped sohow. For example, providing us a thod of transportation to the port, maybe a helicopter?
Asking for a fighter jet might be asking too much. Still, it would be wonderful to use one.
"It's also worth searching the military bases."
Speaking of base, I haven't seen Alice and the dog from the ani everywhere. Did they die? I honestly had no idea.
Anyway, the JSDF should be in elentary school right now.
"That would be the best option I think."
Unfortunately, as usual, when I faced a choice, the system imdiately appeared before .
[Make your choice!]
Go to the Shintoko Third Elentary School and contact the JSDF there. (Reward: 100 Shop Points.) Visit the police station nearby instead and raid it, then drive straight to Tokonosu International Airport. (Reward: 300 Shop Points.) Don't worry about JSDF. Go straight to the military base and et JSDF there. (Reward: 500 Shop Points.)
Huh?
These choices...
I narrowed my eyes. Sothing felt strange about it.
Was there a military base near Tokonosu city?
There shouldn't be one around. Maybe they set up camp after the outbreak happened? Was I wrong in assuming the zombie threat wasn't that bad?
"Sothing isn't right," I muttered.
My eyes landed on the second option, specifically on the 'raid' word.
This weirdness...
At this point, my mind kept rembering what happened in that abandoned lab. Tyrant attacked us from nowhere and I just barely escaped alive.
The problem was Tyrant's attire.
'He wore a police outfit...'
Maybe... It was just my mind playing , but... I had suspicion that sothing might be hidden in the police station that this fucking unreliable system gave a reward higher than the safest choice.
"Could it be?"
Of course, there should be zombies, but what if Umbrella placed their lab below the police station like that mall? The system seed to play with words and intent rather than spelling it clearly, making the whole ordeal annoying to deal with.
"The reward is also increased by 200 points."
I should be more cautious when the reward was given at that amount. 500 points and above was the sa as the choice to save Takashi and his friend, which then led to fight Tyrant.
"But I need those points."
I sighed.
Honestly, 500 shop points could be used to purchase many things. But I couldn't make a decision alone.
"Let's talk with the girls first."
With that decided, I went upstairs to inform everyone that we had two destinations this ti. After gathering all mbers in the living room, I began explaining what I told myself earlier, complete with the dangers that may lurk.
