Kurumi Tokisaki's Planar Journey

The zombies around them were cleaned up, making the road to the staff office very smooth.

...

Looking at Kurumi, who was playing with the TV, Busujima smiled at the people who did not know what to do. "You know Teacher Shizuka Marikawa from the infirmary, right? I am Busujima from Class 3-A . Please take care of me."

"Ah? I am also from Class 3-A. Why haven't I seen you before?" Kurumi turned around.

Before Busujima could explain, Takashi Komuro interrupted, "Senior Sister Tokisaki, you only came two days ago. Senior Sister Busujima is usually in the Sword Society, which is why you didn't meet her in Class 3-Ar."

"Is that so?" Kurumi did not say anything when she saw him nod and continued fiddling with the TV that could not be turned on for some reason.

Looking at the awkward atmosphere, Takashi Komuro felt like he should continue to talk about Senior Sister Busujima. At least, they should get to know her first. After all, they could rely on each other in this city of disaster.

"Senior Busujima, I am a second-year student, Takashi Komuro from Class 2-B."

...

The others also introduced themselves one by one. Kohta was a little embarrassed. "Saya, Takashi, and I are from the same class. Class 2-B, please guide me!"

Takashi Komuro touched the back of his head, "I didn't expect our Class 2-B to have so many survivors. I just don't know if the other classes in the school..."

"Wow, this stupid TV is finally working. At least let us know what happened. Takashi, get the remote control and change it to the news channel!"

"Okay, Senior Sister Tokisaki."

"The government has urgently discussed the disaster, but unfortunately, regarding the rescue mission of the Self-Defense Forces, no matter if it is the ruling party or the opposition party, they did not approval of the request. Currently, there are at least ten thousand people trapped in the Saitama Prefecture."

"Bang - bang - bang --"

It was obvious that the host in the program was very nervous. She spoke faster and faster to show that she was very panicked. "We can see the police firing on them! Yes, the infected have come back to life!"

"Bang - ah! Oh, my God! What is this! Don't come over, don't come over! Help! Ah!"

The image on the TV was tilted to the ground. The lines were left on the screen caused by the camera cracking as it hit the ground. From it came the panicked cry of the female host. Then there was no more sound...

From the image on the screen, they could vaguely see the zombies. They were like those in the school, slowly wandering around the street and pouncing like crazy whenever they saw a living person...

"Sizzle-" The scene changed again. This time, it was changed to the room. A female host read the announcement issued by the government with an uneasy expression. The entire staff office was so quiet that it made people's scalp tingle.

"Pia- Sizzle-" Kurumi grabbed the remote control from Takashi Komuro's hand and quickly changed to several other channels.

"London has completely fallen!"

"The White House has become a sea of fire! And the leader has been evacuated! He is going to transfer the government to the aircraft carrier at sea. It is rumored that it is in preparation to launch a strategic nuclear strike..."

"... There is a riot in Tokyo, and they are suffering heavy casualties! The Self-Defense Forces are trying to maintain order! Some of the Allied warships have evacuated the port..."

"The communication with Moscow has been cut off..." Before the host could finish, the television turned to static.

Takashi Komuro punched the desk and growled, "What is wrong with them? Their announcement was so casual. They are treating our lives like nothing!"

Kurumi, who was sitting on the chair, looked very calm. "It is precisely because of this that they do not want to cause panic. Otherwise, things will be even more troublesome."

She took a sip of tea from the water dispenser and looked at the stunned crowd.

"Panic will cause chaos, chaos will lead to the collapse of order, and once order collapses, well, those zombies on the streets will be everyone's role models." Kurumi's smile became a little morbid.

The gentle rays of the setting sun shone through the pleated windows into the office, giving people a sense of serenity and laziness. If it were in normal times, it would definitely be a beautiful day, but the people inside felt a sense of oppression.

"How did it become like this? It was clearly fine when I was at home surfing the Internet in the morning." Takashi Komuro complained.

Rei Miyamoto took two steps back, a look of disbelief on her face. "It's only been a few hours, how did the world become like this?" She tugged at the corner of Kurumi's clothes. "Don't you agree? There must be a safe spot somewhere. It won't be long before it returns to normal, won't it?"

Kurumi looked at Rei Miyamoto's hopeful expression. She didn't want to tell her the truth.

"How is that possible!" The affirmative tone caused everyone's eyes to focus on Saya Takagi. "This is a large-scale infection, just like Spanish Flu in 1918. The number of infections exceeds six hundred million. What can we do?"

"According to what you said -" The medical teacher, Shizuka Marikawa, tried hard to recall, "This illness is very similar to the Black Death of the 14th century."

"At that time, a third of Europe's population died." Kurumi reminded them, "Only when the number of people dying reached large enough of a scale did it stop. At that point, enough the people were dead, and so no one could be infected."

"But these dead people can still walk, and they can also attack people. After being bitten, they will be infected, and then they will become them after their death!"

"There is no record of such a large-scale epidemic!" He turned to look at the people in the office, "This can not be real!"

"That's right!" Shizuka Marikawa seemed to have thought of something. "The weather will soon become hot. When they rot and turn into a pile of bones, they might not be able to move!"

Kurumi really wanted to laugh, but when she saw that everyone was serious, she could only hold back her smile. "Zombies", to put it bluntly, were similar to "zombies" from games, but those zombies could evolve. The dead bodies in anime did not have this ability.

Of course, the gods playing tricks could not be ruled out. Kurumi still felt that zombies were more powerful than expected. Compared to zombies, it was definitely a miracle of biological evolution! They were creatures with infinite possibilities!

"Cough, cough." Kurumi decided to interrupt their fantasies. "It's hard to say whether they will rot or not. After all, they eat human flesh. Although I don't know if it is used to maintain the operation of their body, I still feel uneasy."

"I agree with Senior Sister Tokisaki!" Saya Takagi crossed his arms in front of his chest, making her pair of rabbits stand out. "They can move and attack humans despite being corpses. This is not within the scope of medical definitions. It may continue on."

Looking at Saya Takagi's casual movements, Kurumi raised his eyebrows unnaturally and looked down at her chest. In reality, her peers were definitely big, but in the "High School of the Dead", it seemed a little...

"So, now that we have confirmed the safety of our family, the next step is to escape to somewhere else. In short, we can't survive without a target! We need to form a team and bring the survivors as far as possible!"

Everyone looked serious. They picked up their weapons and wanted to rush out. "First of all, we need a method of transportation," Kurumi said.

"Is this okay?" Shizuka Marikawa took out the key of her Beetle.

"Ms. Marikawa, are you sure that your car can accommodate so many people?"

"Why don't we just drive the school bus? Isn't it parked there? The key should be in the staff office. Everyone, look for it!"

...

"It's here!" As everyone searched, Shizuka Marikawa found the school bus key from a small drawer. To be honest, no one had expected her to find it. After all, her personality was a bit off.

Kurumi held a stainless steel sword in her hand while waiting at a table. She looked at the protagonist and his group, "Then what are we waiting for?"
