Summoned

To the rescue

(It's not like I hate animals or anything. But goddamn it Zeke is really trying to get us killed by barking right in front of the house.)

"At least the corpses are not trying to get inside. Not yet anyway." I say as I keep looking below, at the corpses outside the gates.

"I know. Still, I would rather not have a horde of corpses right in front of my front door. For peace of mind if nothing else." Kohta said with a serious expression on his face.

(Well... I don't think it would really matter whether we had this horde here or not. The road is already crawling with corpses anyway.)

A couple of seconds later, I heard footsteps behind me. Turning around, I see Takashi.

"Hope you like dogs. Our little barking friend down there got us our very own horde at the front gate."

I say as I point behind me with my thumb. Then turn around again, and look at the rest of the neighborhood.

(I don't need binoculars to see how bad things are. I mean Hell, even if I was blind, I would still hear the occasional scream between all the moaning corpses.)

I turn my sight towards the bridge. Still filled with honking cars.

(And if I do remember correctly, the corpses are going to overrun part of the evacuation bridge. Things are probably really bad over there right now. Or they will be, soon)

I turn my sight once more to the nearby streets.

(Soon, we'll also have to save Alice. The group already thinks I'm not too keen on getting new members, as I pretty much said so back in the sports store after all. I guess, it's time to contradict myself like it's going out of style.

Question is, what do I do when shit does hit the fan?

While we do have one more gun that can kill from a distance, both the M1 and the AR-10 use the same ammunition. And as Kohta will need to go full ham and use a couple of mags here, if I join the party we'll be out of ammo before we can even blink. Not that I'm stupid enough to go out there unarmed though. I'll take the shogun and a couple of extra shells with me. Hopefully, I'll not have to use it, or worse, have to reload it mid-fight.)

While I was stuck in my own head, I felt a hand shaking my shoulder. I turn around to see Takashi. Looking pissed for some reason?

"Naier, can I have that shotgun for a bit?" Takashi says as he extends his arm.

Looking around I see that Saeko was also here, staring at Takashi.

(This, is where Takashi tried to go all Rambo, right?)

"You know how to use it?" I ask calmy.

"I... I can't just stay here and do nothing Naier! I'm not asking you to go out there, just let me have the gun for a bit." Takashi responded as he slightly glared at me.

(Ughhh... I really want to tell him that we can't save everybody, but in a couple of minutes we will try to save Alice, with me going along with it. I don't want to have to contradict myself 'that' hard.)

Thankfully I didn't have to opine, as Saeko spoke up a couple of seconds later.

"Komuro, did you forget that sound attracts them?" She speaks up before turning around, exposing her backside as she walked back into the room. Causing Kohta to nosebleed and Takashi to follow behind her, after looking at me for a bit with a strange expression.

(Well, that suddenly played out exactly like in the anime, weird.)

I shook my head and glanced outside.
