After the car driven by Riri-senpai entered the highway, I felt relieved to have shaken off the horde of black zombies for the ti being. However, I feel uneasy.
Those black zombies run so slowly, and with us riding a car…… there shouldn’t be any way for them to catch up with us on the highway.
However, this is an ordeal that Shiro-san prepared…… This isn’t sothing that should be easy to complete by just riding a car.
Perhaps, they were thinking as I was, as Alyssa and the others were still carefully watching the surroundings with their weapons in hand.
[!? It looks like they’re following us.]
Hearing Fae-san’s voice from the rear seat, we all looked at the back of the car at the sa ti…… and saw a horde of black zombies riding motorcycles coming towards us.
[Hey, the heck is that…… Why the heck are zombies using humanity’s technologies!? No, well, we’re technically not sure if those things really were zombies but…… Do these zombies not know how to act like proper zombies!?]
Well, zombies chasing us on a motorcycle would certainly be kind of weird, but anyway…… the black zombies (temp) in this virtual world seem to be able to use humanity’s technologies.
Putting aside our impressions towards them, it is quite tough to escape from a large horde of motorcycle-riding black zombies with a one-box car that has seven people in it.
[I’ll intercept them. Riri, please open the sunroof.]
[Alright.]
In order to intercept the black zombies that are chasing us, Liddy-senpai stood up from her seat with her archery bow and arrows in hand.
[Liddy-senpai, why don’t you use a rifle instead?]
[I’m not as versatile as you are, so I prefer using this bow that I’m used to using.]
Refusing the large rifle offered by Alyssa, Liddy-senpai stood on the rear seat and leaned out of the sunroof, and with fluid motions, she released an arrow.
Despite her unstable footing, the arrows Liddy-senpai fired one after another accurately hit the heads of the black zombies on the bikes, knocking them off their bikes and stopping them from following us.
[As expected of a master. I guess you can clean them up without any problems…… wait, don’t they look kinda strange?]
[It doesn’t look like they’re caught in an accident huh?]
As she was handing over additional arrows to Liddy-senpai, Alyssa seed to have noticed sothing, to which Erina also suspicious looked towards those black zombies. As we looked behind us, so motorcycles with black zombies on it we’re moving in a strange way.
As three motorcycles collided with each other, the three black zombies on the motorcycles mixed together…… and transford into a black tiger-like creature that started running down the road.
[They fused with each other!? Seriously, is anything possible with these zombies!?]
[……Hmmm, this virtual world may be like a ga. Each one of those black zombies was weak because they don’t have high resources, but their resources would increase by rging together~~?]
Talking in a sowhat relaxed tone, Fei-san operated her laptop at a very fast speed. In contrast with her relaxed tone though, she typed at a trendous speed with the force of a squall.
[Riri-tan-senpai, please use maximum speed to pull away from them for a bit…… Also, don’t move over to the right lane.]
[Fae-san? What are you doing?]
[Hmmm? Well, I thought I’d just wipe all of them out at the sa ti…… Alright, “fire”.]
Fae-san answered my question in her usual insipid tone as ever…… wait, fire? She’s firing what?
As such a question ca to my mind, I heard sothing…… flying past with a speed that made it impossible for to see it.
[……Umm, Fae-san? What did you just fire?]
[Unnn? It’s a “tactical tomahawk”.]
[Tomahawk!?]
Errr, it’s that, isn’t it”? In this situation, since she wasn’t talking about the axe tomahawk…… Does that an she sent a freaking missile!?
Imdiately after that, I heard a trendous roar from behind , and the car violently shook. After the shaking stopped, I looked behind …… and not to ntion the horde of black zombies, parts of the highway had been blown up.
[Wh…… Wawawa…… Why a missile!? I an, were there even missiles at the University?]
[It’s great that they’re well prepared, isn’t it~~? They’ve even prepared a special high-performance laptop for . This world will disappear after the ordeal is over anyway, so we don’t have to worry about the damages~~]
I was stunned by all these absurdities that happened. Or rather, what does Shiro-san really intend to do? Going as far as to prepare a missile…… Does she want to go to war?]
The missile interception was a surprise, but after that, things went very well for us. The destruction of part of the highway had obviously reduced the number of black zombies chasing us, while Alyssa and the others were able to intercept the black zombies that sporadically co.
At this pace, we should be able to reach the suburbs in about 10 minutes. Then, the cetery that I’m aiming for would just be around the corner.
However, I wonder what this anxiousness I’m feeling…… It’s as if things are going a bit too well.
[……Doesn’t it seem like things have beco calr?]
[Unnn, I thought so too.]
[……A trap? ……or perhaps…… they’re preparing…… for sothing?]
Apparently, everyone else was also thinking the sa thing…… and to make matters worse, our premonition ca true.
[!? Everyone, please look to your right!]
When we heard Riri-senpai’s shout, all of us turned our eyes to the right window…… and was lost for words.
In terms of distance, it was still quite far away…… but it was in the large twin buildings near the center of the city. On top of those twin buildings, there was a huge black sphere that seed to be growing larger and larger.
When we saw it, what ca to our minds was that scene from earlier…… Where three black zombies rged and grew…… no, transford into a giant tiger.
[That looks bad, isn’t it……]
[Yes, Fae-san. That’s the worst…… If the number of humans in this virtual world is the sa as on the original Earth…… There would be about 120 million people in Japan alone…… and if that thing would be a fusion of the zombies from all over the world, a fusion from more than 7 billion people…… and if all of that were gathered, how high level of a resource would it have————!?]
Imdiately after Alyssa said this with a flustered look on her face, the black sphere that had swallowed the large twin buildings began to pulsate and started changing shape.
The color of that thing was more ominously blacker than the black zombies, probably because it had condensed its gathered resources to increase its density.
Its jet-black wings give it a strong presence even under the black sky, and its huge body gives off a trendous sense of intimidation, even though it doesn’t have eyes or nose like the other black creatures we faced before.
[Kaito-san, I’m sorry. I saw things wrong…… It seems like Kaito-san isn’t the protagonist of a zombie movie…… You’re actually the protagonist of a “Kaiju movie” huh.]
(T/N: Kaiju are those seriously monstrous monsters. Godzilla/Kong-tier monsters.)
Yes, it was……a gigantic, several hundred ters long———— jet-black dragon.
