Chapter 77 Scavenge the Dead Part 1 of 5 (1/2)
Day 2: 3:00 P.M
Osaka Streets: Outside Kyosei's base
Time before the Night Rage: 4 hours left
****************************************************************************
The coin container is not really a good weapon that can be used by anyone in the group. It needs extreme mastery and precision, furthermore, the mastery of throwing weapons. Kyosei barely manage to use it. Most likely, he just used this new weapon as a semi-range weapon as he usually use it for bashing heads. The containers may be plastic but the heaviness of the container is enough to incur damage to anything if force is applied. However, this weapon is not that useful for the Night Rage, moreover, it barely helps at all. This item is more likely good for bashing near enemies and for precision in throwing, its much better to use throwing knives instead of these.
Souichi even tried to use it but for the fact that it really lacked the main lethality of it, furthermore, the precision and mastery needed, he failed to use to its full potential. However, this is still a good breakthrough in using the coins for actual battle. Kyosei initially thought and planned to smelt the coins however, practically, nobody from their group knows how to smelt. Also, due to the lack of good facilities, that will be more harder to make.
Since there are only barely three hours remaining for their normal mode before they enter hell once more, Kyosei was forced to scavenge for weapons and supplies as well. Kyosei will use the remaining time left to plunder the surrounding area with loot and possible materials that can benefit their advancement.
Scavenging might be called stealing, however, in this chaos stricken world, scavenging will be the most common job of a survivor now especially those who move from one place to another, making life more harder. Furthermore, as the time passes by, resources will soon plummet and the harvest will sooner or later fall and even a single can of one week expired corn soup will be considered as luck as time pass by.
Scavenging cannot be taken lightly in apocalypse. It might be easy at first, however as the time pass by, the collection rate will also get heavier for a single survivor to take, causing casualties. Moreover, not only the undead poses a danger now but also the living survivors who are also competing for supplies. The competitors will not hesitate to kill if they see anyone trying to get their loot. You can't deal with humans much now with just smart talking, you need to have high persuasion rate and complete control to everything if you want to get a chance to live and see the sun rise again.

Souichi and Kyosei are both holding two sets of empty duffel bag when they returned to the Base. Everyone was a bit confused when they are holding the duffel bags. More than that, Souichi is preparing a few weapons for him and Kyosei to use.
”Where are you two going?” Nanami scanned all of the weapons that her brother is preparing.
”I don't know but according to Kyosei, we will start scavenging the nearby houses for weapons and and supplies,” Souichi said as he attached the compensator for the M14.
”But that is downright almost impossible! There are limited households who owned guns, moreover, this is Japan and not America! Do you think guns are plenty like cabbages?!” Nanami protested.
”Hmph, we know our limit. I know it will be hard so we need to hurry. W might be able to find even a single depot of weapons or a rich household that owns a weapon. We can't keep on relying on our weapons that will slowly diminish on Night Rage. We will prepare all of the necessary things to get and we will return safely,” Kyosei answered as he look sternly to everyone.
”Then, at least bring a few more people with you!” Miyuki was worried.
”No, This should be enough. Besides, we only have more than three hours left in our safe time. I knew Souichi's capabilities and he can manage just fine. The others here are not yet good to do scavenging as they still have a few injuries in their bodies. I suggest that they will just act as the guards here,” Kyosei explained as he pat the head of Laika who is just listening to them.
”Are there any objections?” Kyosei asked to the group.
”...” the group was silent.
”I have no objections. Besides, it will be more beneficial if only a few people go on scavenging,” Steven said as he scratched his head.
Everyone then started nodding. Well, they can't help it. Once Kyosei sets that he will do it, he will without anyone to stop him.
After doing the necessary preparations, Kyosei and Souichi departed. Sena kissed Souichi before he was about to go.
”Come back safe,” Sena smiled.
”I will,” Souichi caressed Sena's hair.
Kyosei scratched his head impatiently before walking off. Miyuki and Cindy was about to say goodbye to him but due to the fact that Kyosei is impatient and just not in the mood, they refrained in doing so.
”I will track both of your locations and will help you what is up ahead of the maps, just keep your headphones with juice so that we can contact you!” Nanami shouted to the departing Kyosei and Souichi.
Kyosei raises his hand and waves it around like he didn't care. The scavengers has departed and now will try to find weapons for the group.
