Kirishima High School - Path towards Gymnasium
Duration of the Night Rage: 5 hours and 28 minutes left
*********************************************************************************
Returning to the Gymnasium proves to be a hard job and Kyosei is stuck for two minutes in the branch of the tree. He is sure that the branch he is standing in is strong enough to support his weight for a long time. His only problem is how to reach back.
The horde down the tree is quite thick and engaging them in close combat is a suicide. He has no gun in possession and he currently didn't bring the lighter he managed to scavenge in the kitchen so the gasoline is a no-go too.
Distracting them is not an option either as it proves to be useless as they might be derived in smell and sight instead of purely sound. He can sneak attack them, yes. But it cannot be repeated again and again against an enemy that goes on berserk whenever a human is on sight. For them, humans are food to eat.
”I didn't calculate this,” Kyosei frowned. It is a fatal mistake.
He shook his head and breathe in deep and as he closed his eyes, he began to calm down. He opened his eyes once more and his mind cleared and no more interruptions of thoughts, popped up in his head. This is quite a convenient talent on Kyosei as he can remain calm in the middle of danger.
He quickly look around for possible routes to take.
”I have a rope with me, but it is quite short. I still needed the full length of the rope in me to secure the gallon of gasoline so I can't spare it to be longer than necessary,” he thought to himself as he stare at the ten centimeter rope.
He put his gazes around him as he calculate all of his possible outcomes if he used the method. Once he started thinking, after thinking for quite a while, he will shook his head. He looked around him left and right, up and down.
As he gaze up in the sky, he finally noticed the cable of the electricity, currently connected to the Gymnasium in a downward-slope manner. The electric cable is sturdy and he suddenly thought of a good plan. Why don't he do a zipline? He has a ten centimeter rope in which he can use as a necessary cable for moving and he is not that heavy to begin with, which may be a good sign. The electric cable is a bit lower than the tree he was in which is another good news. His only problem is the big chance of electrocution. He was not a man made of rubber to be insulated by the electricity and instead, has a lot of chance being killed if he do not get to be really careful. He has a very high chance of conducting electricity.
He quietly shook his head and do his daring plan. He quickly climb up the tree as he scale it, and reach the branch where he can execute his plan.
”Here goes nothing!” Kyosei gritted his teeth as he put over the rope to the cable and jump off the branch.
He quickly cross the area by having a dangerous zipline. He raise his legs together and his speed goes faster. He is still gritting his teeth, still looking around him in case a hurler is around. The good news is that, he safely crossed the undead infested area without encountering any trouble. He climbed up the roof of the gymnasium and heaved a sigh.
”I will never do it again,” Kyosei adjusted his uniform.
He peered under the undead below. They are still aggressive and still in the front door, however, there are no signs of breach in the door.
”The f*ck is happening?” Kyosei quickly move his body, curious why a gunshot rang out earlier.
