We started to get out of the vehicle and Saeko, Soichiro, Scythe, Kurisu and me being the ones with weapons that made the least noise, cleaned the parking lot of zombie near from us. With 5 people doing it, it didn't take long, when the area is clear the others also go down.
"Well, we should load the cars with whatever we can"
When we are all together Soichiro says, I turn to look at everyone in the place, they were the people who carried weapons and defended the house of the Takagi, in addition to my group. Then I turn my eyes to those who remained in the cars snuggling up waiting for the others to do the work. Without being able to avoid it, I intervene.
"Who is going to carry the things?"
"Hmn? We of course"
"I do not think it is the most optimal method... choose the people who can carry things without any difficulty and have them do it, we will be in charge of protecting the area from any zombie approaching"
"... They are still very scared, I don't think they want to go out watching zombies near to them"
"It seems that you didn't listen to me, I said that we would protect them from the zombies, so they don't have to worry about that. Besides, I didn't tell you to ask them, have them do it."
"That ... it's not good that we force them ... we can do it"
When we decided to proceed with carrying things, I found a problem, I don't know if Soichiro had a hero complex or his personality was too straight, but he preferred to work for others by putting himself and those in his side in risk, than forcing others to help.
"Well, if you don't want to do it, I'll do it"
Deciding not to waste more time I walked to do that work myself, I did not care how others saw me, I simply believed that it was more efficient and above all I did not feel good putting myself at risk for people I do not know while they just wait for us to protect them.
When walking in the direction of the vehicles where the other people were, raising his voice Soichiro calls me.
"Alexander, with us it should be enough to do the job ... don't bother them, they're scared and have been through a lot"
Listening to his words I felt like pulling my hair, there really is a limit to how good a person someone should be. I stop my steps and turn around facing Soichiro, looking a little angry at him, I speak.
"Soichiro, I'm not going to ask children or elderly, it's not that I intend to do inhuman things or take advantage of them. The people I choose can carry things without any problem, and as long as we protect them the risk will be minimal.
You say they are scared? Anyone is scared when they have a horde of zombies in front of them, if they don't want to be outside they just have to move their feet and hands quickly so the time they have to stay outside is shorter.
I have nothing against trying to help others, but it is very different that they want to put the entire burden on me. If things get bad, do you know what a person totally dependent on you and whom you helped will tell you? "
"…Thank you?"
"Ha ... hahaha ..."
With his response my laughter comes out before can realize, Soichiro frowns surely because he did not feel my reaction very pleasant, after calming down, I continue.
"Soichiro, I must say that you are a good person ... but unfortunately you are naïve too. Although I cannot deny that in the world there are people with conscience and perhaps you can get their gratitude in such situation, it is a pity that the most likely thing to happen in such case, is that those people blame you for why things turned out that way.
People being under a lot of stress do things that they normally would not do, you can call it instinct, collective hysteria or whatever you want, the point is that at that time they become very selfish to ensure their survival.
That is something we have all seen here when the zombies emerged, I don't know if you forgot about it or you just don't want to accept that part of humans. "
"..."
"Soichiro, Alexander-kun is right ... it is more productive to make others help, it is also better for them to get used to this world now, since I don't think it goes back to how it used to be."
Soichiro remains silent without answering my statements, in the end with the support of Yuriko-san he nod but also asks.
"How do you intend to make them come out if they don't want to?"
"... I will threaten them, if they still refuse, I will shoot ... someone in the leg"
"That's totally illegal, you can't shoot people!"
"Alexander-kun ... that you shoot someone in the leg is still something excessive"
I try to answer honestly so they don't be surprised when I do, but when I get to the part of shooting someone, I see in Soichiro's face displeasure and in others some fear, that’s why I tried to soften it, but for Yuriko's-san comment it seems it doesn’t have a great result.
The policewoman raises her voice by lecturing me about laws and things like that, she probably hasn't stayed out of the mall for a long time, she hasn't understood that those things lost their validity hours after the zombies emerged, so I just ignore her, she shouldn't take long to realize anyway.
"Let me do it"
Soichiro takes a step forward after speaking, he probably wants to prevent from me shooting someone, so he ends up taking the role to convince those waiting in the trucks. We walk to the back of one and go up, inside he begins to explain things to everyone.
"……That’s the situation, so please those who can carry things come down to help"
When he finishes his words, only one person gets up, but when this sees that others remain seated, he is can’s choose whether to move forward or to sit down again. Then within the people who were sitting, one speaks.
"Takagi-san, outside is dangerous ... you have always done things to help all of us. Please, you must strive to keep us safe, is you guys who have the weapons."
I wanted to say "I told you" but looking at his face and that of his men, I can see that he finally understood. The others nod to the man’s words, and also begin to demand things that think they are entitled to. When he lost control of the situation, I concluded that it was my turn to explain them.
"Silence!!"
"W-who are you? What do you want little girl?"
[Tzun]
"Hiii"
The hum of firing my colt is heard, the man wants to say something when he sees me taking out the gun, but when hears the sound he only screams and with his eyes wide open sees the bullet hole in the cloth that covers the truck's box. Having everyone in silence and with their attention on me, I order them.
"Well, Soichiro kindly asked all of you and you didn't want do it in the easy way, now it's my turn to ask... I'll count to 3 and everyone who is over 15 years old and under 50 gets off the truck before I finish... if you don't do it, the next time I shoot won’t miss. 1… "
When I start counting some young people get up immediately, I think that their faces seemed familiar when I see them up close, Oh right, I remember that they were the ones who were with the group of that teacher who the zombies ate.
They should know from experience that things would not be good for them if they don’t comply with the orders, for that reason they were the first to go down, with them moving the others begin to follow them one after the other. Finally, I check that the ones that remain are neither too small nor too old, after looking over whit my eyes through each one of them, we also go down.
"See, if they have so much energy they shouldn't have any problem loading things"
We do the same with the other 2 trucks, it was less problematic than with the first one, since after seeing people get off the first truck, others also imitate them.
"You just have to follow the instructions given to you, the faster you move, the sooner you can go back to being quietly sitting in the truck. I must tell you something in advance, do something stupid and in the best case you will end up with a bullet in the skull and in the worst I will make my zombie eat you”
"Grrrawn ~"
When kindly speaking to them I caress Scythe's pigtails, which is always by my side, and then as she always does when I caress her, roars a little, when others pay attention to her they discover the differences of an ordinary person identifying her as a zombie. As a result, a small hustle and bustle is created, but by ordering them to shut up quickly all those people remain in silent.
When Matsushima discovers it, she tried to makes a small show, but before she could take out her gun, is stopped by my group, then Yuriko-san and Saeko explain everything about Scythe to her.
"Alexander-san… you should stop using Scythe-chan for that. Everyone will be afraid of her."
Saeko complains a little whispering in my ear when I use Scythe that way, I honestly think it's better for others to fear her, it's more useful that way, but knowing that she cares about Scythe I nod at her words, then she smiles happily and also caresses Scythe.
"Some may think that I am only threatening you and I will not really do it, but you can ask those who already had the joy of being under my protection, and you will know I am not lying."
I turn with the group of students that I previously took out of school, when they see me set my eyes on them they nod strongly and repeatedly to confirm my words. Completing the explanations we all move to the doors of the mall to enter, being closer, figures of people are seen on the other side arguing with each other.
"Hello, if anyone is there, please open the door!"
.............. ..........
(POV 3rd Person)
In a building next to the mall a group of men played poker, if a normal person entered inside, the strong stench coming from each one of those who were in the place would be noticed.
"Boss, Boss!! ... a group of cars has arrived at the mall !!"
"Idiot! How many times have I told you not to raise your voice? !! Do you want to attract all the surrounding zombies here? !!"
The one who seemed to be the leader of that group reprimands with a louder voice at the first man that came to report, although the others who played at the table noticed that, nobody said anything since he had something they did not possess.
If someone thought it was courage, he couldn't be more wrong. Although with it, the most coward would surely have some guts and the bravest when it points at him would make him tremble ... yes, it was a weapon.
Held in one of his hands, he had a rifle, one used to hunt. And as if he was afraid of losing it, he wouldn't let go even for a second.
"Bitch !! Don’t you see that I have to get up !!"
The man tried to stand up, but the woman between his legs licking his penis with care prevented him to do it. With a strong slap he sends her to the ground and then walk away putting on his pants. After seeing her fall an obvious dislike in his eyes it shows by the appearance of the woman.
At the beginning when the apocalypse began, it was the most beautiful woman he found, but with the days going by without being able to fix or bathe, be in constant sexual activity and under great stress, her charm had changed by a completely disheveled appearance and adding a strong smell from the sex and sweat.
"S-sorry boss ... I was focused on your great member so I didn't heard anything"
Even when she was beaten, responded with the best smile she could managed to do, she knew that complaining would only make things worse, besides that, they would not fill her stomach, so she swallowed her pride and responded by praising him with words that would satisfy his ego.
"Hump"
The Leader along with the other men who played approached one of the windows of the building to see outside. Outside they see a caravan of cars that stopped in the parking lot of the mall.
"Are they military? The cars at the beginning and the end of the line don’t look like civilians"
"Shit, first there was those two police bitches that stayed there for which we couldn't take the things from the mall, and now military arrive!"
The leader of the men in this building had planned to take the entire mall for him, but when he saw the two armed officers dismissed that idea from his mind. The only thing that put him in a higher position than the others here was that he had a gun, he would have to be crazy to go there and have those female police officers strip him of his rifle.
As the saying goes, it was better to be the head of a dog than the tail of a dragon, with that in mind he preferred to be the leader of his group than having to join in the protection of the police.
On the other hand, he was afraid of having to face them, since they had 2 weapons, in addition having training for shooting. He being a rookie at the time of aiming would end up dead if a shooting was unleashed.
Therefore, he only had to observe to see if things changed and could take advantage, unfortunately for him a group, possibly military, arrived with better weapons. Clenching the fists for what he saw, he kept watching what was happening in the parking lot.
Soon several people got out of one of the cars, and then it seemed that they began to discuss some things between them. When he witnessed the events was surprised for several reasons, the first was that they did not appear to be military, in the thoughts of the leader he believed that they might have obtained the cars by luck.
Another thing was that everyone seemed to carry weapons, besides they were not the simple rifles like the one he hold so carefully, but among all the things, that most caught his attention were all the women who came down of the car.
It was like seeing a group of women who seemed models arriving at the mall for shopping. They all looked the same as before zombies emerged everywhere, clean and well-groomed, with neat clothes as if the apocalypse was just an illusion.
All the men in that room began to salivate imagining being able to put their hands on them, they had experience and knew that they would end up succumbing to them, either because of fear or hunger...
"Who are they?"
Taking them out of their lustful thoughts, the previous woman spoke, directing their gaze to her, the leader's displeasure only increased, then he turned to the beds where more women were lying, due to the smell their situation of whether they were alive or dead was unknown.
"Someone take this thing with the workers !!"
"E-eh?"
When comparing the two groups of women, the leader could not stand it anymore, the mere thought that he had been with her stirred his stomach, although he had ignored that the other men and himself were not in a much better condition than her.
"B-boss, I've been completely faithful to your orders ... besides, I love you! Please don't leave me!"
The woman knelt holding one of the legs imploring him to not take her out, she knew that if went to where he sent her, even selling her body to others, the food she would get would be scarce, so she held on to him with the hope that he could feel sorry for her or some other emotion.
" Shut up bitch !!"
It was a pity that the only thing in the head of his leader now was how to get those women that he saw below ... the problem was that they all seemed much better armed than the two police woman. While he was torturing his brain to devise a plan, the woman's screams distracted him, angry for that he yelled and at the same time with all his might he hit her mouth with the butt of the rifle.
"Aaah !!"
The woman cried at the impact that had forcibly removed several teeth from her mouth, due to the pain she then lost consciousness, one of the leader's men then takes her and drags her out the room.
"Boss! We have to take all those women ... also all the weapons, with them we won't have to fear the zombies anymore and have not to hide here"
"... are you implying that we are here because I am afraid? !! That I do not dare to go out and that I only depend on this weapon? !!"
"E-eh? O-of course not boss ... we are all alive thanks to you!"
"Hmnp, it's good that you know, don't worry, we'll have all those things ... we just have to think of a way to achieve it"

Besides, I didn't tell you to ask them, have them do it.""That ... it's not good that we force them ... we can do it"When we decided to proceed with carrying things, I found a problem, I don't know if Soichiro had a hero complex or his personality was too straight, but he preferred to work for others by putting himself and those in his side in risk, than forcing others to help."Well, if you don't want to do it, I'll do it"Deciding not to waste more time I walked to do that work myself, I did not care how others saw me, I simply believed that it was more efficient and above all I did not feel good putting myself at risk for people I do not know while they just wait for us to protect them.When walking in the direction of the vehicles where the other people were, raising his voice Soichiro calls me."Alexander, with us it should be enough to do the job ... don't bother them, they're scared and have been through a lot"Listening to his words I felt like pulling my hair, there really is a limit to how good a person someone should be. I stop my steps and turn around facing Soichiro, looking a little angry at him, I speak."Soichiro, I'm not going to ask children or elderly, it's not that I intend to do inhuman things or take advantage of them. The people I choose can carry things without any problem, and as long as we protect them the risk will be minimal.You say they are scared? Anyone is scared when they have a horde of zombies in front of them, if they don't want to be outside they just have to move their feet and hands quickly so the time they have to stay outside is shorter.I have nothing against trying to help others, but it is very different that they want to put the entire burden on me. If things get bad, do you know what a person totally dependent on you and whom you helped will tell you? ""Thank you?""Ha ... hahaha ..."With his response my laughter comes out before can realize, Soichiro frowns surely because he did not feel my reaction very pleasant, after calming down, I continue."Soichiro, I must say that you are a good person ... but unfortunately you are nave too. Although I cannot deny that in the world there are people with conscience and perhaps you can get their gratitude in such situation, it is a pity that the most likely thing to happen in such case, is that those people blame you for why things turned out that way.People being under a lot of stress do things that they normally would not do, you can call it instinct, collective hysteria or whatever you want, the point is that at that time they become very selfish to ensure their survival.That is something we have all seen here when the zombies emerged, I don't know if you forgot about it or you just don't want to accept that part of humans. ""...""Soichiro, Alexander-kun is right ... it is more productive to make others help, it is also better for them to get used to this world now, since I don't think it goes back to how it used to be."Soichiro remains silent without answering my statements, in the end with the support of Yuriko-san he nod but also asks."How do you intend to make them come out if they don't want to?""... I will threaten them, if they still refuse, I will shoot ... someone in the leg""That's totally illegal, you can't shoot people!""Alexander-kun ... that you shoot someone in the leg is still something excessive"I try to answer honestly so they don't be surprised when I do, but when I get to the part of shooting someone, I see in Soichiro's face displeasure and in others some fear, that's why I tried to soften it, but for Yuriko's-san comment it seems it doesn't have a great result.The policewoman raises her voice by lecturing me about laws and things like that, she probably hasn't stayed out of the mall for a long time, she hasn't understood that those things lost their validity hours after the zombies emerged, so I just ignore her, she shouldn't take long to realize anyway."Let me do it"Soichiro takes a step forward after speaking, he probably wants to prevent from me shooting someone, so he ends up taking the role to convince those waiting in the trucks. We walk to the back of one and go up, inside he begins to explain things to everyone."That's the situation, so please those who can carry things come down to help"When he finishes his words, only one person gets up, but when this sees that others remain seated, he is can's choose whether to move forward or to sit down again. Then within the people who were sitting, one speaks."Takagi-san, outside is dangerous ... you have always done things to help all of us. Please, you must strive to keep us safe, is you guys who have the weapons."I wanted to say "I told you" but looking at his face and that of his men, I can see that he finally understood. The others nod to the man's words, and also begin to demand things that think they are entitled to. When he lost control of the situation, I concluded that it was my turn to explain them."Silence!!""W-who are you? What do you want little girl?"Tzun"Hiii"The hum of firing my colt is heard, the man wants to say something when he sees me taking out the gun, but when hears the sound he only screams and with his eyes wide open sees the bullet hole in the cloth that covers the truck's box. Having everyone in silence and with their attention on me, I order them."Well, Soichiro kindly asked all of you and you didn't want do it in the easy way, now it's my turn to ask... I'll count to 3 and everyone who is over 15 years old and under 50 gets off the truck before I finish... if you don't do it, the next time I shoot won't miss. 1 "When I start counting some young people get up immediately, I think that their faces seemed familiar when I see them up close, Oh right, I remember that they were the ones who were with the group of that teacher who the zombies ate.They should know from experience that things would not be good for them if they don't comply with the orders, for that reason they were the first to go down, with them moving the others begin to follow them one after the other. Finally, I check that the ones that remain are neither too small nor too old, after looking over whit my eyes through each one of them, we also go down."See, if they have so much energy they shouldn't have any problem loading things"We do the same with the other 2 trucks, it was less problematic than with the first one, since after seeing people get off the first truck, others also imitate them."You just have to follow the instructions given to you, the faster you move, the sooner you can go back to being quietly sitting in the truck. I must tell you something in advance, do something stupid and in the best case you will end up with a bullet in the skull and in the worst I will make my zombie eat you"Grrrawn ~"When kindly speaking to them I caress Scythe's pigtails, which is always by my side, and then as she always does when I caress her, roars a little, when others pay attention to her they discover the differences of an ordinary person identifying her as a zombie. As a result, a small hustle and bustle is created, but by ordering them to shut up quickly all those people remain in silent.When Matsushima discovers it, she tried to makes a small show, but before she could take out her gun, is stopped by my group, then Yuriko-san and Saeko explain everything about Scythe to her."Alexander-san you should stop using Scythe-chan for that. Everyone will be afraid of her."Saeko complains a little whispering in my ear when I use Scythe that way, I honestly think it's better for others to fear her, it's more useful that way, but knowing that she cares about Scythe I nod at her words, then she smiles happily and also caresses Scythe."Some may think that I am only threatening you and I will not really do it, but you can ask those who already had the joy of being under my protection, and you will know I am not lying."I turn with the group of students that I previously took out of school, when they see me set my eyes on them they nod strongly and repeatedly to confirm my words. Completing the explanations we all move to the doors of the mall to enter, being closer, figures of people are seen on the other side arguing with each other."Hello, if anyone is there, please open the door!".............. ..........POV 3rd PersonIn a building next to the mall a group of men played poker, if a normal person entered inside, the strong stench coming from each one of those who were in the place would be noticed."Boss, Boss!! ... a group of cars has arrived at the mall !!""Idiot! How many times have I told you not to raise your voice? !! Do you want to attract all the surrounding zombies here? !!"The one who seemed to be the leader of that group reprimands with a louder voice at the first man that came to report, although the others who played at the table noticed that, nobody said anything since he had something they did not possess.If someone thought it was courage, he couldn't be more wrong. Although with it, the most coward would surely have some guts and the bravest when it points at him would make him tremble ... yes, it was a weapon.Held in one of his hands, he had a rifle, one used to hunt. And as if he was afraid of losing it, he wouldn't let go even for a second."Bitch !! Don't you see that I have to get up !!"The man tried to stand up, but the woman between his legs licking his penis with care prevented him to do it. With a strong slap he sends her to the ground and then walk away putting on his pants. After seeing her fall an obvious dislike in his eyes it shows by the appearance of the woman.At the beginning when the apocalypse began, it was the most beautiful woman he found, but with the days going by without being able to fix or bathe, be in constant sexual activity and under great stress, her charm had changed by a completely disheveled appearance and adding a strong smell from the sex and sweat."S-sorry boss ... I was focused on your great member so I didn't heard anything"Even when she was beaten, responded with the best smile she could managed to do, she knew that complaining would only make things worse, besides that, they would not fill her stomach, so she swallowed her pride and responded by praising him with words that would satisfy his ego."Hump"The Leader along with the other men who played approached one of the windows of the building to see outside. Outside they see a caravan of cars that stopped in the parking lot of the mall."Are they military? The cars at the beginning and the end of the line don't look like civilians""Shit, first there was those two police bitches that stayed there for which we couldn't take the things from the mall, and now military arrive!"The leader of the men in this building had planned to take the entire mall for him, but when he saw the two armed officers dismissed that idea from his mind. The only thing that put him in a higher position than the others here was that he had a gun, he would have to be crazy to go there and have those female police officers strip him of his rifle.As the saying goes, it was better to be the head of a dog than the tail of a dragon, with that in mind he preferred to be the leader of his group than having to join in the protection of the police.On the other hand, he was afraid of having to face them, since they had 2 weapons, in addition having training for shooting. He being a rookie at the time of aiming would end up dead if a shooting was unleashed.Therefore, he only had to observe to see if things changed and could take advantage, unfortunately for him a group, possibly military, arrived with better weapons. Clenching the fists for what he saw, he kept watching what was happening in the parking lot.Soon several people got out of one of the cars, and then it seemed that they began to discuss some things between them. When he witnessed the events was surprised for several reasons, the first was that they did not appear to be military, in the thoughts of the leader he believed that they might have obtained the cars by luck.Another thing was that everyone seemed to carry weapons, besides they were not the simple rifles like the one he hold so carefully, but among all the things, that most caught his attention were all the women who came down of the car.It was like seeing a group of women who seemed models arriving at the mall for shopping. They all looked the same as before zombies emerged everywhere, clean and well-groomed, with neat clothes as if the apocalypse was just an illusion.All the men in that room began to salivate imagining being able to put their hands on them, they had experience and knew that they would end up succumbing to them, either because of fear or hunger..."Who are they?"Taking them out of their lustful thoughts, the previous woman spoke, directing their gaze to her, the leader's displeasure only increased, then he turned to the beds where more women were lying, due to the smell their situation of whether they were alive or dead was unknown."Someone take this thing with the workers !!""E-eh?"When comparing the two groups of women, the leader could not stand it anymore, the mere thought that he had been with her stirred his stomach, although he had ignored that the other men and himself were not in a much better condition than her."B-boss, I've been completely faithful to your orders ... besides, I love you! Please don't leave me!"The woman knelt holding one of the legs imploring him to not take her out, she knew that if went to where he sent her, even selling her body to others, the food she would get would be scarce, so she held on to him with the hope that he could feel sorry for her or some other emotion." Shut up bitch !!"It was a pity that the only thing in the head of his leader now was how to get those women that he saw below ... the problem was that they all seemed much better armed than the two police woman. While he was torturing his brain to devise a plan, the woman's screams distracted him, angry for that he yelled and at the same time with all his might he hit her mouth with the butt of the rifle."Aaah !!"The woman cried at the impact that had forcibly removed several teeth from her mouth, due to the pain she then lost consciousness, one of the leader's men then takes her and drags her out the room."Boss! We have to take all those women ... also all the weapons, with them we won't have to fear the zombies anymore and have not to hide here""... are you implying that we are here because I am afraid? !! That I do not dare to go out and that I only depend on this weapon? !!""E-eh? O-of course not boss ... we are all alive thanks to you!""Hmnp, it's good that you know, don't worry, we'll have all those things ... we just have to think of a way to achieve it"------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Written by: DrackEdited by: XArezzX
