Atlanta, December 21, morning.
Shandai was awakened by the roar of machinery. Lieutenant Colonel Sarkins was leading people to remove the remains. Although it was inhumane, there were too many bodies and they could only be shoveled.
Shandai yawned, called Yamazaki, and learned that he was sorting out supplies, so she ignored him.
…
In the restaurant, Asuna Yuki is having breakfast with her father and others.
Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but blush at the meaningful look her father gave her and Kiritani Kazuto, and almost buried her head in a bowl.
At this time, Shan Dai appeared.
"Are you asking for a meal?"
"Ah, Mei Daiko." Yuuki Asuna woke up and introduced her father Yuuki Shozo, his colleagues and friends to Shan Dai, as well as new friends who shared weal and woe.
His subordinate Nobuyuki Sugou, his friend Kayaba Akihiko who came with him, and his friend Kamishiro Rinko from the United States.
They are all experts in brain systems, human-computer interfaces, and artificial intelligence.
The new friend is Glenn Lee, an Asian-American who works in a hotel. How should I say, delivers food, but he is their savior. Thanks to him for taking care of them these days.
Shandai asked casually: "So, what are your plans? Stay here, or go back to the big island?"
Yuuki Shozo patted his daughter's hand, "I want to be with my family."
Kayaba Akihiko nodded, "If possible, of course go back. The island is safer in comparison."
Rinko Kamishiro said: "But there is no place to escape."
Sugou Nobuyuki said: "There is no way to escape."
Yuuki Shozo asked in English: "Where are you Glenn?"
"I won't leave, this is a better place for me."
"Well, I won't say any more. We will never forget your kindness."
After listening to the interpreter, Shan Dai said: "Well, how about helping me look at things?" Then she explained that she had a lot of supplies that needed a guard.
"You killed all the zombies in the city by yourself?"
"Yes, I'm very powerful, right? I know that."
"Then why are you looking for me? I'm not sure I have the ability to protect those supplies."
"It's not just you. I'm also planning to find that police chief, Rick. In return, I can help you build a base, or something else. Let's settle this."
"I will think about it."
"certainly."
Rinko Kamishiro hesitated: "Well, since you are so powerful, can you take me to California? There is very important data in my research laboratory."
Shandai smacked her lips, "Then what good do I get?"
"I am researching large-scale armor systems, just like the mecha warriors in cartoons. Among the current large robots, I have a patent."
"Then, do you have a Gundam?"
"No……"
"No need to discuss it."
"But if my latest research is used, the flexibility of existing exoskeleton armor systems can be improved."
Shandai looked at Kamishiro Rinko, "You don't need that kind of thing to deal with zombies, but you need it more to deal with people. Do you want to get results or open Pandora's box?"
Kamishiro Rinko said seriously: "I just want to protect myself. There are many strange people now, mutants, enhanced people and so on..."
"Ha, what can I say? The zombies haven't been dealt with yet, and they are starting to think about internal fighting. How do you know that the zombies won't become more powerful?"
"Yeah, so we need to increase the force, and that's for more people."
"I'm not interested. I just do what I want to do. I deserve it if I die. If I survive, I can still say, ah, how did I go through all the hardships to achieve what I am now? If I write a memoir, I don't know if zombies can read it." Understand."
"you……"
"Okay, okay, Aunt Rinzi, let's talk about this matter later."
Sandei's sarcastic remarks made Kamishiro Rinko very angry, Yuki Asuna stopped her attack in time to avoid making Sandei unhappy, and killed Kamishiro Rinko.
Kamishiro Rinko snorted and left, Kayaba Akihiko and Sugou Nobuyuki retired and followed.
Shandai found it interesting, "Hey, is this the legendary triangle relationship?"
"Who knows, just eat slowly." Asuna Yuuki pulled her father and retreated. It was better not to get too close to Shandai.
Shandai said in broken English: "Well, Glenn, those guys don't actually think highly of you and me."
Glenn took out his mobile phone and called up the translation software, "I know that our academic qualifications are too different. Although the world has been reshuffled, I still don't think that I can stand at their level and their knowledge is still very useful. , can help them get a lot of things.”
Shandai raised her fist, "We rely on this."
"I can't do it."
"You can also use armor, just like playing games. If you come to work, I will help you find a big guy, that kind of mining robot."
"Why does it have to be me?"
"I just know you. Is this reason enough?"
"That's enough, okay, I'll help you."
…
Outside.
Kamishiro Rinko was complaining, while others were comforting her, and Yuki Asuna even explained Shandai's free will.
"Anyway, she will kill someone if she doesn't agree with you, so don't mess with her."
"Isn't there anyone in charge? Let her act like this!"
"Only her brother can take care of it. If aunt's things are really valuable, maybe he can be persuaded to give it a try."
Kiritani Kazuto hesitated for a moment, then interjected: "But if the thing is not so practical, Shandai will definitely take action."
Rinko Kamishiro was a little annoyed, "I told you, it's a research result, and there will definitely be a transformation process before it can be put into practical use."
Kiritani Kazuto shrugged and said nothing more.
As we all know, it is really difficult to say how many research results can be turned into practical finished products.
…
On the other side, the Centers for Disease Control.
Survivors are being registered and examined.
Some people don't want to, but it's enforced for everyone's safety and to keep a head count.
Rick, who had been waiting here, finally saw his family, his wife Lori and son Carl, as well as his colleague Sean.
"dad."
"Karl."
The happy Rick did not notice that Lori and Sean's expressions were unnatural.
At this time, Shandai and Glenn came over.
Shan Dai directly extended an olive branch through translation software.
Before Rick could speak, an angry man spoke up, "What good can we do? Oh, I'm Moll, Moll Dixon."
"I'll help you find a base and help you collect some supplies."
"That's it? We can do it without you."
"Without me, many of you would die."
"none of my business."
"Well, let's give you a big yacht, no, two big yachts, one in the Gulf of Mexico and one in the Atlantic Ocean. This way you have a way out, but you have to take care of the zombies inside."
"What's the meaning?"
"I just give you the control code. With the code, others can't drive the ship."
"That's it, deal, I want one hundred thousand tons."
A man carrying a crossbow curled his lips and said: "You idiot, there are at least thousands of zombies in there."
"My stupid brother, someone else would naturally do that kind of thing of sending someone to death." Moore introduced, "This is Daryl."
Daryl ignored him and asked Shandai: "Can you really get the boat?"
Shandai nodded, "Of course, but what do you guys say?"
Moore smiled and said: "Don't worry about them, it's enough for me."
Shandai said bluntly: "I don't trust you."
"Ha, I like this reason."
"Little bastard, where are you from?"
Daryl's laughter made his brother Moore angry. He raised his foot and kicked Daryl, but Daryl dodged it.
