The Bloodshot One-Eyed Zombie Emperor Chapter 63

“Really, nothing……?”
“So repet.i.tive, I said I don’t need anything”

Usokawaーーlooks to be bewildered.

Well, I suppose so.
……Commanding Officer-san said something like ‘We were able to move according to the scenario’.
That means, things turning out this way was predicted, and a lot has been prepared according to a.s.sumptions.
But, a new j.a.panese Infected Emperor appearing apart from the female Infected Emperor who was already found should be totally beyond expectations.

Therefore, he hesitates, bewilders, and an opening appears.
It being totally beyond expectations is why he fell into a panic.
A perfect, meticulously constructed plan is weak against the unexpected.

And over there is a chance to take advantage of.

This organization, half of them are the same as Sakura-chan from what I saw, zombies with their senses.
If I just gave an order, I could easily lead them to destruction.

That being said, an organization of this magnitude, doing it from the front would no doubt bring death.
Since I’m bringing Aki-chan and girls along, I want to avoid a fierce battle as much as possible.
Even if I’m strong, challenging an organization by myself is reckless.

Which is whyーーI want to a.s.sure our safety by making them my allies.
If this organization really wants to rebuild j.a.pan.
Then I’ll lend a hand.
It works out better for me that way as well.

“I’ll lend a hand if you’re rebuilding j.a.pan, it’s better for there to be a medical inst.i.tution, if there’s a fire, an amateur like me wouldn’t be efficiently at firefighting……I have no clue about things like the infrastructure regarding electricity and water supply……however”
“However?”
“It’ll be different if you’re intending to use me as a tool for war”

It’s just that if he’s intending to take advantage of this confusion to perform acts of invasion then I’ll firmly reject.
I have no plans of becoming a tool or weapon for war.
If it’s not made clear strongly, it’ll be a pain in the distant future.

“There’s no such intention! j.a.pan is an island country, as long as we are not attacked, there’s no intention for war.”
“Then it’ll be fine”

I’m really glad that j.a.pan is an island country.
An island country, therefore there’s no other country on land. Those invading during these circ.u.mstances should be the neighbouring countries by the borders.

……Well, only if they have room for that.

“…………”

Saya remained silent.
I’ve asked her to stay silent, and have her put Shiro’s face that she hasn’t had in a long time on.
Commanding Officer-san only briefly explained about us.
Therefore, Usokawa shouldn’t know in detail my relationship with Saya.

Actually, Usokawa sometimes looks at Saya with a surprised expression.
His poker face has crumbled since just now and is making a face that says ‘Did this guy put a fused individual under his control……?’

“……Will you, help us?”
“Aa, as long as you guys don’t betray us”
“Is that so……then, please take care of us”

Usokawa who has stood up lowered his head very deeply to me.

“Please lend a hand in……this j.a.pan’s reconstruction, please, your strength is needed”
“No, that’s……”

To think that I’m being bowed to.
Having thought about the possibility of being told ‘You’re a hindrance!’, turned into an enemy, and erased, things readily developing as what I had wished for has got me a little bewildered.

“I get it, I’ll lend a hand if it’s within my capabilities”

But……is it really fine to trust him.
I look at Aki-chan who’s sitting beside me.
Aki-chan eyes said, ‘Isn’t it fine to trust these guys?’.
……Well, I guess so.
If they thought of killing me, they should’ve been able to do it at any time.
Having not done that, it seems fine to trust them more or less.

“Thank you……thank you very much……”

He really looks happy.
This guy also took into consideration the possibility of becoming enemies with me in the worst case scenario.

“Then……I have a request for you”
“What?”
“It’s true that we can do something about all sorts of infrastructure like electricity……probably, it’s just that it’s not so for food supplies”

For now, it’s still fine. For now.
There’s still food supplies remaining in the supermarket, as well as preserved food.
But, there is a limited supply. And above all else, there’s the expiration date. It will go bad and unedible one day.
If it comes down to that, it will be on the verge of famine.

“Isn’t it viable to turn the streets into fields?”

Since it was an annihilation.
There will be tons of people if it’s there.

“……That is undoable……It’ll be quicker to show you”

Usokawa stood up.
It seems that we are moving somewhere.

Walking down a long corridor, taking a long escalator again, and walking, then an elevator, towards the top.

“How far are we going?”
“This underground facility links to the underground of all sorts of buildings that exist in Tokyo…… This building is one of the many entrances that is above ground”

The elevator door opens andーー
The streets of Tokyo came into sight.

“Oo……”

This is Tokyo…… Ah, the Skytree is visible.

“Jin-nii! Look at that! Skytree!”

Yes yes.

But……one of the many entrances huh.
The building is probably built above it to camouflage the entrance to the underground.
Over here is probably for people to go in and out, the tunnel in front of the fences that we have entered are probably the entrance for materials……for transportation.

“Jin-san! Look over there!”

In front of where Aki-chan pointed, there is……a ma.s.sive horde of zombies wriggling about.
This is what they call, a painting of h.e.l.l.

“This is……”
“Tokyo has one of j.a.pan’s densest population. Naturally, the number of zombies is substantial as well”

As one would expect, putting all of them under my control would be gruelling.

“The zombies around this building, around the entrance of the tunnel Fujiwara-kun has entered, are……prevented from entering by the zombies that are under our Infected Emperor’s control but, it’s difficult to put all the zombies in Tokyo under control”

Well, I guess so. Un.
The number isn’t modest.
Furthermore, with this number would also mean that there are unique individuals.
They would certainly want to avoid a situation where the valuable Infected Emperor gets a.s.saulted by a unique individual,

“That’s why making the streets of Tokyo into fields is difficult……but, on the other hand, it’s impossible to gather produces that are outside of the city”

Zombies are also loitering about outside the city……
Agriculture is impossible with the zombies all over the place, having vegetable plots on the roof also has its limits.

“Is there no food production workshop in your prided underground facility?”
“As one would expect, there’s not enough time. Even this facility is a remodelling of a nuclear shelter, there’s no such functionality”

The rumours about a nuclear shelter spreading across under Tokyo was true……

“Then what should I do? I’ve never done farming before”
“……There should be zombies working as farmers before the infection. If you put them under your control……”

I see, it’s like how I make the zombie policemen use guns.
If I give simple orders and have them regain their senses to a certain extent, they should work even with crude orders like ‘Grow vegetables, make food’.

“Alright, because I have also thought about how I have to do something about the food supplies issue, if it’s this much then I don’t mind doing it”
“Really!?”
“Aa, a man doesn’t go back on his words”

And like this, I place zombie farmers under my control and went dealing with the production of crops……
