At last, Suzumiya Haruna left the shrine at Feng Yu Chenâs persuasion and joined their group. Her addition to Feng Yu Chenâs force strengthened them even more. Those normal japanese survivors became speechless when they saw Suzumiya Harunaâs ability to command zombies. They even hailed her as the messenger of the gods.
Â
In a troubled world, normal citizens worship and respect those that hold legendary power.
Suzumiya Harunaâs existence also helped Feng Yu Chen a lot. Itâs mostly psychological though, having a miko at his side he feels like his group would be alright and so he attains a sense of peace so that he wouldnât have weird thoughts and can go about his business.
âHaruna, what was your occupation before?â
Feng Yu Chen started an idle chat with Haruna when they are free.
Haruna said.
âBeing a miko, Orphaned since young and then adopted into a shrine in Tokyo, taught characters and miko curriculum by Kagami jii-san. The festival dances are also performed by this one you know? Isnât that incredible but then after Kagami jii-san died(Tl:éç·ç·), this one stayed at the shrine. One day, this one happened upon a phone, this one can still recognize a phone when she sees oneâŠ
And then one got sent here, I think itâs the will of kami-sama telling this one to come subdue the Demons (Zombies) of this world. Yes, that must be it.â
Feng Yu Chen canât help sighing after hearing Harunaâs sad background. So this lass didnât go to school and got shut inside a shrine, learning about the rites and ritual of being a Miko. Sheâs completely ignorant of this mortal world, Feng Yu Chen canât bring himself to hate this kind of person. On the contrary, he had the urge to hug and cherish her.
âWhere did you get the power to command them (Zombies), how did you learn it?â
Feng Yu Chen canât help asking. this is the part he wants to know the most, if he could unravel the secret of how Suzumiya Haruna can command zombies then it would be very helpful to him.
Her power over the zombies is already encroaching the territory of myths. Her abilities is qualitatively different from Feng Yu Chen & coâs weapons and martial arts. Hypothetically speaking, if Suzumiya Haruna had stronger powers then Feng Yu Chen might not even be able to touch her. Heâs not afraid if she used zombies against him but if those zombies were to increase drastically in number then she would not be someone he can deal with easily.
âYou mean the power to command the demons? This one doesnât know, it just happened when one thought about controlling the demons, the demons got controlled. One thinks about it and the demons do it, itâs nothing big isnât it? All mikos should possess this kind of ability.â
Suzumiya Haruna said.
Sweats
Her answer rendered him speechless. Think and it shall be done, if only it were that simple then everyone would be able to use it. Also, being a miko shouldnât bear any weight on her ability to command zombies. Feng Yu Chen & co had been to various shrines and found the mikos inside them had already turned. Clearly, being a miko or not is irrelevant.
But Feng Yu Chen decided not to continue asking her. Suzumiya Haruna seems like a ditzy loli, she doesnât have the analytical ability to dig deeper into things.
âŠ..
After one monthâŠ.
Feng Yu Chen & co built a base in a small village, they used a few days to clear out the zombies and burn them all. Then, they organized and cleaned the farms. And so, they have their temporary base.
Feng Yu Chenâs forces has grown to more than 50 persons, 30 or so are combat personn
el and the rest are those unsuited for battle like woman and children.
âSenpai, the data on our members has been gathered and everyone had been given a job based on their abilities.â
Takagi Saya said.
âThe fields has also been cleaned although some parts of them had been damaged, but the majority of the land can still be used. Summer will be upon us soon at which point we will have a bunch of yields to collect. Furthermore, there are a few mills and grindstone in the village that can be used after a bit of cleanupâŠâ
Zi Yue Ling said.
âThe rooms and food preparation has been completed, everyone had already been registered and are now in their respective dorms. The ration and food are all stored away and are sufficient for the near futureâŠ.â
Nakaoka Asami said.
âThe medical supplies and tools are prepared as well. A minor part of them can be used so we can deal with any sudden outbreak of disease but if itâs a disease requiring surgery then no guarantees can be given on its treatment. However, colds and fever can be treated with our present state of medical suppliesâŠâ
Marikawa Shizuka said.
âNo sightings of zombies in the eastern frontâŠâ
Reported Takashi.
âNo sightings of zombies in the western endâŠâ
Reported Minami rika.
âNo demons in the northern endâŠâ
Reported Suzumiya Haruna.
âNo sightings of zombies in the southern endâŠâ
Reported Hirano Kohta.
ââŠ.â
One by one they reported to Feng Yu Chen. At the moment, their organizationâs abilities are sufficient.
whoop whirl whoop
A helicopter descended from the sky and a grim looking Miyamoto Tadashi walked out from the chopper.
âIâve finally found you guys, so you guys built a base huhâŠâ
As Tadashi made his way into the village, he found that the village had already been cleared of zombies and everyone is busy with their task and he canât help exclaiming.
So this is what a place of hope looks like.
âDadâŠâ
Rei rushed over and hugged Tadashi.
âHmm you have lost weight, but youâre more matured now. Please wait for a bit, I have something to discuss with Feng alright? My sweetieâŠâ
Tadashi patted Reiâs shoulders.
Feng Yu Chen cut straight to the point and said.
âNn, well letâs discuss indoors, Minami and Saya please come in as wellâŠâ
âOkayâŠâ
Tadashi followed Feng Yu Chen into his temporary command center.
âArgh, after taking the sample and leaving, Iâve cooperated with the military at Hokkaido and we ran a few experiment, the experiment is a success in that it managed to stop the zombie virus from causing any further syndromes but in the following development of a vaccine, an issue came up. The last result we got was that the blood is a one time usage item. Any cloned vaccine developed using biotech is unusable meaning to say the blood sample you gave us canât be replicated and can only be used one timeâŠ.â
Tadashi talked about their situation, he looked upset but itâs not directed at Feng Yu Chen.\n
