#353 - Akihabara Zombie Maid and the Collapsed Tokyo Tower (2 in 1 order required)
After the train entered Tokyo Station, the driver, Fukuyama, received a call from the dispatch center.
“Attention all JR trains operating online, we have completed the defense in the Hokkaido area. From now on, please make sure to arrive at Sapporo Station in Hokkaido within 24 hours.
When the countdown ends, the provisional Japanese government will cut off all railway lines north from the Tokyo area and conduct a fire cleanup of cities with high infection rates…”
Chief Driver Fukuyama exclaimed with joy, “That's great! The establishment of a new provisional government means Hokkaido is relatively safe.”
Kazuyari Shimazaki retorted, “Cutting off railway lines and then carrying out a city-wide cleansing, that's very much like what a government would do.”
Kensuke Kitahara analyzed:
“Looks like we don't have much time to operate in Tokyo.”
He had Yuzaku Ueta brought up and asked:
“Ueta, using the facilities at Tokyo University, how quickly can you complete the atlas mapping and vaccine research? Can you do it in 24 hours?”
Ueta said in a deep voice:
“Officer Kitahara, do you have some misunderstanding about the field of bioengineering? Just mapping the DNA sequence alone is impossible to complete in such a short time.”
Kensuke: “If you don't come up with a solution, I'll leave you in downtown Tokyo forever.”
Ueta immediately caved:
“Actually, the equipment in the University of Tokyo's laboratory is just a terminal. What really matters is the computing power of the supercomputers in North America and Europe that it can connect to.
We only need to perform preliminary analysis in the lab, then take the networked terminal with us. The remaining analysis can be completed on the way to Hokkaido.”
The audience in the live stream laughed: “Hahaha, what a paper tiger.”
Ueta added:
“But there are two problems now.
First, I can't connect to the University of Tokyo's terminal with my phone. Someone needs to reactivate the satellite signal transmitter at the highest point in Tokyo, which is Tokyo Tower.
Second, we're still missing one researcher. You must find him in Tokyo and get the USB drive he has.”
Researcher Nishikawa interjected at this point:
“The last researcher is called Takayama. I had a good relationship with him at the institute. I remember the last time I spoke to him was on the day the major infection broke out.
That guy has always been a homebody. After we were dismissed due to the leakage incident, he said he found a part-time job at an electronics store in Akihabara, Tokyo. You should be able to find him there.”
After some discussion, everyone decided to split up into three groups.
Kensuke Kitahara and Emi would take a group to Akihabara to find Takayama first.
Kazuyari Shimazaki and Misaki would take a group to Tokyo Tower to reactivate the satellite signal.
And Chief Attendant Ono would lead the remaining guards, escorting Yuzaku Ueta to the University of Tokyo.
…
Kensuke's team drove a car and arrived at Akihabara Electric Town.
This place used to be a sacred place for otaku culture, but now it has become a domain of zombies.
The moment they stepped into Electric Town, a strong bloody smell hit them. In front of the dilapidated shops, there were wandering zombies everywhere.
Kensuke gripped his battle sword tightly. Emi carefully followed behind him. The rest of the team members held guns, their eyes vigilantly scanning their surroundings.
Suddenly, a group of fat otaku zombies rushed out of a game store by the roadside!
These zombies were wearing T-shirts printed with cute girls, were bulky, and held various game discs and light novels in their hands.
They roared and pounced towards Kensuke and the others.
This battle was even more intense. The fat otaku zombies were huge, but their movements were surprisingly fast. For a time, Kensuke Kitahara and the others were caught in a bitter fight.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
G-chan constantly switched between various random bullets, shooting the heads of the fat otaku zombies. If a zombie got close, she would use her battle sword to slash at their necks, trying to find a chance for a fatal headshot.
The audience commented: “Damn, these fat otaku are really tough!”
With great difficulty, everyone fought their way out of the fat otaku.
Suddenly!
A group of maid zombies poured out of the AKB48 cafe at the end of the street. They were wearing dirty maid outfits, their skin was pale, their lips were crimson, and their eyes were filled with only hunger and madness.
“Goshujin-sama…”
The twin-tailed maid zombies, holding various dinner knives, pounced on them, screaming.
The audience was completely shocked:
“These maid girls still remember their service language even after becoming zombies, how dedicated!”
After paying the price of five teammates injured or killed, everyone finally passed through this area.
Afterwards, the team approached the store where Researcher Takayama worked. A group of zombies dressed in anime cosplay suddenly appeared from the other end of the street.
“There's no time, we have to attack head-on!”
G-chan had her teammates provide covering fire. She first took down Naruto, then punched down Nezuko, and then fought with Rem, who was wearing a white silk maid outfit…
The audience laughed:
“Great, buying this game is like going on a rampage in the entire anime world, saving a lot of money.”
“Seriously, the atmosphere of Akihabara street is really well done.”
“Of course, Taoyuan Township, the company that makes this game, goes to the real place for research. This is famous in the domestic game circle.”
In the end, in that zombie-infested anime-themed adult shop, everyone found Researcher Takayama's body and successfully obtained the USB drive from him.
This guy was surrounded by a bunch of adult shop zombie girls. He didn't even have a chance to become a zombie before he died.
But when he died, his expression was one of pure bliss.
The people in the live broadcast were silent: “This guy probably died of pleasure in the end, which can be considered a death without regrets.”
…
At the same time.
The game screen switched to the foot of Tokyo Tower.
Because of the elevator malfunction, Kazuyari Shimazaki's team was climbing Tokyo Tower.
[Control target has been changed to Kazuyari Shimazaki]
As G-chan climbed the spiral staircase on the tower, she quickly ran into trouble.
The roars of zombies came from below, and they were rushing up the narrow passage like crazy.
G-chan immediately raised her gun and shot at the zombies below, while Misaki tightly gripped the climbing rope, trying to climb upwards.
After repelling wave after wave of attacks, they reached two-thirds of the way up the tower.
At this time, a strong wind suddenly blew in the sky. The wind howled, making it almost impossible for them to stand firm, and the climbing rope swayed in the wind.
“Misaki, be careful!” Shimazaki shouted.
The game popped up a high-difficulty QTE prompt.
The VR glasses constantly simulated the shaking environment of the tower.
G-chan desperately waved the VR gloves, tightly grabbing the handrails on the tower, struggling to maintain her balance. They had to slow down their climbing speed, moving forward carefully to avoid being blown away by the wind.
Finally, they reached the top of the tower. Kazuyari Shimazaki breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought everything would go smoothly next.
Unexpectedly, just then—
In the sky, an Air Self-Defense Force bomber was rapidly approaching Tokyo Tower.
Its engine made a creaking sound, and the flames at the tail were burning fiercely, like a rampaging beast.
Misaki was so scared that her face turned pale, and she tightly grabbed Shimazaki's sleeve:
“What's going on? Did the Self-Defense Force's bombing operation start early?”
Kazuyari Shimazaki shook his head:
“This plane's flight posture is not right. This should be an infected plane. The pilots have all turned into zombies!”
As the roar of the plane got closer and closer, they could feel the pressure in the air, like a huge black cloud covering their heads, ruthlessly pressing them down and making it difficult to breathe.
Rumble! The plane's huge fuselage, like a crazy cannonball, swept past Tokyo Tower. The air was filled with thick smoke and the smell of gunpowder, as if the whole world was burning.
Everyone's heartbeats accelerated sharply as the plane approached. They felt the shadow of death approaching.
Despair flashed in the eyes of Shimazaki and the others, and they could only wait and watch.
Finally, the plane grazed the main tower of Tokyo Tower, passing by and making a deafening noise.
The tower body shook violently, tilting to one side, debris flew everywhere, and flames burned fiercely, making the entire sky red.
As Tokyo Tower collapsed, the sky over the entire city was filled with huge pieces of debris and dust, making it impossible to tell the direction.
Shimazaki and Misaki immediately grabbed anything around them to try to stabilize their bodies. However, the huge impact still caused them to lose their balance and had to fall down with Tokyo Tower.
The surrounding scenery became blurred and distorted, and various metal parts were flying in the air, covering everything. The two felt as if they were in a chaotic world.
The live broadcast audience frantically spammed the screen:
“Damn, that's so shocking, this scene is no less than a Hollywood blockbuster!”
“Oh my god, the scene of the plane crashing into Tokyo Tower is too thrilling! I've been imagining how Tokyo would end since I was a child. In a sense, this game fulfills my dream in another way?”
“The game production team is really attentive. This visual effect is top-notch! Taoyuan Township is awesome, no doubt!”
The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!
Fortunately, at the critical moment, they fell on a small platform not far below them.
After a while, Shimazaki and Misaki struggled to stand up.
They looked around and found themselves surrounded by a mess of ruins. Apart from the two of them, everyone else was missing or had sacrificed themselves.
Misaki grabbed Shimazaki's arm crying: “What should we do?”
Shimazaki wiped the dust off his face: “We have to find a way to continue repairing the satellite signal transmitter…”
Misaki said nervously: “No, Shimazaki-kun, it's too dangerous. The top of the tower is already crumbling… Let's give up.”
Shimazaki:
“Officer Kitahara is still waiting for us.
Too many people have sacrificed on the Final Frontier on this road. I can't let them die in vain.
And, Misaki, don't you think a world with a vaccine would be better than it is now? Not only ourselves, our families, and even our future children can live in a beautiful world!”
Misaki looked at the light in Shimazaki's eyes and nodded, gritting her teeth: “Yeah, then I'll help you!”
G-chan found that the tower structure was seriously damaged and there was a risk of collapse. She operated Shimazaki to climb up from the relatively safe load-bearing column, bypassing various incomplete gaps along the way, and came to the top of the tower to carry out repairs.
The interface for repairing the signal transmitter was a puzzle game similar to a jigsaw puzzle, which was not difficult for G-chan, who was an experienced gamer.
[Objective completed: Repair the signal transmitter of Tokyo Tower]
Just then, a loud noise suddenly sounded.
The ground trembled, and the fragile load-bearing structure under Misaki's feet collapsed.
Shimazaki watched as her body lost its balance and rushed over without hesitation.
“Misaki, be careful!”
Shimazaki pushed hard, Misaki was pushed to a safe place, and he himself fell towards the tower.
Falling from this height would have been a slim chance of survival, not to mention that there was a surging tide of corpses below.
Therefore, Shimazaki, knowing that he could not escape, smiled at Hanada Misaki at the moment of falling:
“Misaki, in your remaining life, you must remember me…”
During the fall, memories flooded Shimazaki's mind. He remembered the good times he had with Hanada Misaki, and the school days when the two of them worked hard for their dreams.
He closed his eyes and accepted his impending fate.
“Shimazaki-kun!!!!!!!”
Misaki stretched out her arm, but grabbed empty, and let out a painful cry.
The live broadcast audience burst into tears:
“Wuwuwuwuwuwu, I cried like an idiot, and scared my cat.”
“This couple is so pitiful, they were almost at the end of their journey!”
“The knife was sent so decisively, damn Taoyuan Township!”
…
Game prompt:
[The operating character has been changed to Kitahara Kensuke]
The out-of-control bomber that had previously passed over Tokyo Tower appeared on the skyline not far from Akihabara.
Kensuke saw the crumbling bomber rushing straight towards here and secretly said: “Not good!”
The moment he knocked Emi down, the bomber slid over the heads of the two and crashed to the ground.
Rumble!
The plane slid a deep gully on the ground and finally crashed into Akihabara's iconic building - the Sega Building.
The falling plane caused violent vibrations on the ground.
In the burning smoke, the streets of Akihabara were in chaos.
The fire was burning fiercely, making the sky red, and thick smoke filled the air, covering the entire block in a gray haze. Gravel, steel bars, and tiles flew everywhere, and the shops along the street were destroyed beyond recognition.
The surrounding air was filled with the smell of burning and the aftermath of the explosion, as if the whole world was shaking.
Kensuke and Emi were pressed under the huge wreckage of the bomber and could not move.
He carefully checked the casualties and his heart sank.
Most of the members of this squad sacrificed during the plane crash just now. Only him, Emi, and Researcher Endo barely survived because they happened to fall in the triangular safe space formed by the plane wreckage.
But now, Kensuke didn't have time to be sad for the sacrificed team members, because he found that not far above their heads was the porthole of the bomber's cockpit.
Through the cracked porthole, the three of them could clearly see that a large number of zombies were baring their teeth and claws at Kensuke and the others through the glass.
Emi tightly grabbed Kensuke's hand, her eyes filled with fear and despair.
"Kensuke, what do we do?" Her voice trembled.
Kensuke struggled, trying to free himself from the wreckage.
However, the weight of the wreckage was too great, and his strength seemed insignificant. The surrounding fire grew more intense, making their situation even more dangerous.
Just then, Kensuke noticed a hole next to the wreckage not far away. He crawled out of the hole and discovered an escape route!
"Emi, come quickly!"
He was just about to bend down and take Emi's hand when,
Suddenly, the bomber's propeller engine fell and blocked the small hole that Kensuke had crawled out of!
"Wife, wait for me!!!"
G-chan's VR gloves, with the output power set to maximum, continuously lifted the engine.
Suddenly!
The airplane window finally couldn't withstand the weight of so many zombies, and with a crack, it shattered completely!
A large number of zombies broke through the window, baring their fangs and claws as they rushed towards Emi!
The live broadcast's comment section was flooded with messages:
"Holy crap, run, wife, run!"
