Anime Crossover: The Small Workshop System's Aggressive Feeding

Page 13

The suppressed "Xiaotian" was still struggling, letting out unintelligible roars, his eyes completely devoid of reason.

Nami crouched down to examine the rapidly worsening wound on his leg:

"It's a viral infection! Spread by leeches...it's spreading too fast!"

Looking at the leeches still writhing on the ground and the students who had completely lost their minds, Zhou Ye had only one thought in his mind:

"This is a huge problem."

The leeches on the ground continued to writhe their fat bodies defiantly, as if mocking their helplessness. The infected student's eyes had completely lost focus, and he was emitting incoherent roars, like some kind of wild beast.

Zhou Ye stared at the chaotic scene before him, his temples throbbing. The zombified ghouls were already a headache enough, but now the leech virus had been added to the mix—it was like adding insult to injury. What was this? A doomsday package deal, buy one get one free?

Zhou Ye didn't care about being exposed. Using the abilities of Herrscher of Reason and Talking Tom, he used Honkai energy to materialize a pistol, pulled it out from behind his back, and fired a shot at the zombie student first, then at the leech on the ground.

This is not the time to complain. They are trapped in the classroom, surrounded by hordes of menacing zombies outside and their mutating classmates inside. It's practically a closed death cage.

He quickly scanned the people around him. Most of the students were terrified; a few were relatively calm, but they were only putting on a brave face. Expecting them to fight? They would probably only make things worse.

Their gaze finally settled on Saeko Busujima. As the captain of the kendo club, she must be quite skilled.

"Bukushima-kun, prepare for battle." Zhou Ye tried to keep his voice calm.

"We must get out of here."

Saeko Busujima didn't speak, but simply nodded silently. She drew her wooden sword, assumed a defensive stance, and sharply scanned her surroundings.

"Break the window and leave."

Zhou Ye continued, his voice low and rapid.

"Those who can keep up, let's go together; those who can't... well, that's a shame."

He didn't say the words "wait to die," but everyone understood what he meant. The sudden biohazard crisis turned what was supposed to be a spring outing into a post-apocalyptic survival battle. Survival was the top priority, and no one could guarantee that they could take care of everyone.

Zhou Ye took a deep breath, walked to the train window, took the window-breaking tool hanging there, and smashed it hard against the glass.

One, two, three glasses shattered. With the sound of shattering glass, the two doors that had been blocked off earlier were followed by crashing sounds and screams.

At that moment, a bolt of lightning ripped across the sky, further amplifying the terrifying atmosphere and causing the students to let out piercing screams.

Then the pounding intensified, thud! Thud thud! It sounded like someone was frantically pounding on the door with their body, or something heavier. Wood chips and dust fell in a flurry.

"There's a back door!" another voice screamed.

Sure enough, the same banging sound came from the back door, along with... the scratching sound of claws scraping the wooden planks, and a deep, beast-like growl.

Other carriages were attacked by leeches, and the passengers who had turned into zombies were attracted by the sound of shattering glass.

Fear, like cold vines, wrapped around everyone's neck.

"Hold on! Push the table forward again!" someone shouted, but the voice was choked with sobs, sounding more like someone trying to encourage themselves.

Several boys frantically tried to push away the tables and chairs blocking the door, but the impact was too great. The table legs made a screeching sound as they scraped against the ground. Instead of moving forward, they were pushed back little by little.

"No way! She's too strong!"

"They...they're coming in!"

"Waaaaah... Mommy..."

Cries and screams mingled together, almost lifting the roof off. What on earth happened in this godforsaken place? Everything was fine just a moment ago! How could it all have changed so drastically in the blink of an eye…

at this time--

"Crack!"

A ghastly, twisted bolt of lightning ripped through the dim sky, instantly illuminating every terrified, contorted face inside and outside the front and rear car windows. In the blinding light, raindrops pounded wildly outside, while something sticky seemed to be shaking with each impact on the door panels.

Is it blood? Or something else?

This light brought not hope, but a deeper despair.

"what--!"

A louder scream pierced eardrums. A girl, unable to bear the shock, covered her ears, squatted down, buried her head in her knees, and trembled violently all over.

Chapter 10 Demon Slayer Corps Water Pillar Candidate, Saeko Busujima

Zhou Ye ignored these burdens and decisively jumped off the train with Nami and Saeko Busujima. At the same time, he constructed a small imaginary space in mid-air, turning it into a soft spring to minimize the pain caused by jumping.

The students on the train who couldn't escape in time were bitten by zombies one after another, and then turned into zombies and bit the students who hadn't changed yet. The worst off were a few who hadn't even had time to change before they were bitten and eaten.

Seemingly sensing that some food had escaped, the zombies' crimson eyes turned to the three people who had jumped down, and they left through the broken car window in various ways, charging towards Zhou Ye and the others.

boom!

Gunshots ripped through the silent night.

The bullet pierced the zombie's rotting forehead with pinpoint accuracy.

The thing convulsed and fell down, no longer moving.

Zhou Ye pulled Saeko Busujima and Nami to a small hill in front of them, and I activated my power of thought.

A bomb constructed from Honkai energy appeared behind the carriage where they had just jumped out, followed by a loud bang.

The entire carriage was blown into the air. The airflow and debris were blocked by the barrier Zhou Ye had created, and the explosion didn't stop until two minutes later. Most of the zombies were killed instantly, and even the few that survived were finished off by Zhou Ye.

"Teacher Zhou, which way do we run?"

Saeko Busujima's voice was calm, even tinged with a hint of excitement. She unconsciously tightened her grip on the wooden katana in her hand, feeling a slight sense of disgust as she wondered what it would feel like to actually cut a zombie with a real sword.

Zhou Ye didn't look at her; his sharp gaze swept across the surrounding darkness.

The shadows of the trees loomed, as if countless eyes were lurking nearby.

"Get out of here first."

His voice was devoid of any superfluous emotion, conveying only an unquestionable resolve.

"The explosion just now will attract other zombies, and we don't know how many more are following behind."

"I don't know what the road to Raccoon City looks like. But stopping here means certain death."

He held Saeko Busujima's hand, and gestured for Nami to follow with his other hand.

Footsteps made a soft sound as they trod on the damp soil and fallen leaves.

Each sound felt like a blow to the heart.

Nami gripped her phone, which had lost signal, and said with obvious disdain:

"Lord, Captain, really... there's absolutely no signal. What terrible infrastructure! And this is supposed to be America, the world's best?"

"Okay, let's go first. This isn't the time to discuss signals."

Zhou Ye's response was brief.

Now is not the time to discuss signals; survival is the only goal.

In the darkness, there seemed to be a rustling sound.

It wasn't the wind blowing the leaves.

It sounded more like... claws scratching at the ground.

Zhou Ye abruptly stopped and raised his gun in a defensive stance.

"what sound?"

Nami asked warily, her body unconsciously moving closer to Zhou Ye, and she took out the gun that Zhou Ye had handed her.

Saeko Busujima held her breath, excitement and fear gripping her once more.

Several dark figures emerged from behind the bushes.

Extremely fast.

It was a dog, or rather, it used to be a dog, its fur gone, revealing rotting muscle and stark white bones, its scarlet eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light in the darkness.

Zombie Dog

They growled, drool dripping from their torn mouths, emitting a foul stench.

Zhou Ye opened fire without hesitation.

boom!

boom!boom!

The bullets accurately hit the heads of the first few zombie dogs charging at the front.

The impact knocked them to the ground, but more zombie dogs surged in from all directions, far exceeding expectations.

"Run!"

Zhou Ye growled and shoved Nami and Saeko Busujima.

He retreated while continuing to fire, trying to halt the pack's advance.

At the same time, the Law of Reason was activated, and many bear traps appeared out of thin air in the haystacks along the path of the zombie dogs. The traps were precisely placed according to the running position of the zombie dogs.

The zombie dogs' movements were immediately hampered. Zhou Ye then switched his weapon to an AR-15 out of thin air, equipped with a 30-round STANAG magazine. After disengaging the semi-automatic safety, he fired a full magazine, then used his ability to change the magazine again and continued firing.

Bullet casings clattered and fell to the ground.

Gunshots echoed through the woods, startling a flock of roosting birds and possibly attracting something even more terrifying.

Nami, carrying Saeko Busujima, started moving, when a zombie dog circled around to the side and pounced on the lagging Saeko Busujima.

A fishy smell hit me in the face.

Saeko Busujima's pupils contracted sharply, her excitement undisguised. Just as she was about to swing her wooden sword to knock the zombie dog away, Zhou Ye, who was even faster than her swinging the katana, turned around and kicked the zombie dog hard in the stomach.

Bang!

The zombie dog let out a mournful howl, flew backward, and crashed into a tree trunk.

Without pausing, Zhou Ye lowered the muzzle of his gun and fired another shot.
