1165 Episode One Thousand Thirty-nine: Zombies in the Sky (1/2)
”Wow... wow!
I'm indoors now. Yet I can hear the groans of the people who have been made zombies so far. When did you gather this many people, when you realized there were tens of thousands of zombies in the sky. If I'm bad, there might be 100,000 of them.... There were no reports of tens of thousands of people being kidnapped.
”Ninety-nine minutes, I think it's some kind of replicated dummy.”
”Huh? Really, Mika”
”Yeah, from what I saw pah, I found about five people in the same outfit with the same face. There are a lot of other people wearing it.”
It does seem so. I found someone in the same outfit with the same face. I thought human reproduction was the only thing I could do.... When this happens, I'll broil the original copy out and bring it back to life, it'll break my bones. I guess I'll have to create that kind of specialty item after I'm done. This is...
”Mm... is that true?
”What is it, my king?”
”No, I hear the other countries have stopped attacking patarily already. The manipulated humans have not emerged.”
”Oh, did you find out it was my job to prevent all attacks? I thought it was time.”
So you're saying that the people in the sky have gathered in one place that they were going to disperse in other countries? I rather feel like less if you were going to divide that one into different countries. No, seriously, something's wrong.
”Hey, didn't those guys split up now?
”... you do”
”How can you let a human have a dividing function?”
Those zombies showed up and it's already been a minute without attacking me. There were about 100,000 of them, but I think there's about 200,000 of them. Wouldn't it be an infinite increase if we left this alone?
”If it keeps growing, it's gonna be hell, Kanata, what are we gonna do?
”Sister Mika, speaking of which, didn't you have the skills to only identify your enemies and allies and recover your attacks? Probably, but if it's made of magic or items, it should be recognized apart from the split source and the split destination...”
”You just have to designate the source of the division as your ally, right? Then use that skill.”
Speaking of which, Micah was the first SS ranked skill she made herself. Watching people multiply through the windows creeping between everyone, Micah headed out to a position that was easy to see.
For a moment, some weird sensation runs through my body. It's not chills or a bad feeling, it's uncomfortable. I think Micah probably used her time-stopping skills. I guess I used my skills in that. When I saw it from us, I instantly wrapped it in white, where the sky was close to gray.
The countless zombies that were floating in the sky... had disappeared without one left. Micah comes back to me with a slightly sad face.
