but if it was hit by too many attacks, then it’s durability would go down and it could be destroyed.
Currently, there were no zombies that were smart enough to try to do this, but who knows what would happen in the future.
As the lasers did not stop our own attacks, it made sense for players to actively attack the zombies from the other side.

In the meantime, I was still worried about the others at the front entrance.
Perhaps I should go through the safe 2nd floor and see how they are doing…

“Canaria.
Could I leave this to you for a short while? I want to check the front entrance…”

“Ahahahahahahahahaha!! Yes!!”

I had never heard a ‘yes’ that made me feel so anxious before, but since I would also be leaving Garbow here and on ranged attack mode, they should be fine.
And so I went up the stairs towards the 2nd floor.
There were no zombies on the second floor, which meant that Oliver had not died.
So, maybe it really was a rare, powerful zombie…

Dadadadadadadada!!

“Woah!?”

As I went down the stairs towards the 2st floor, numerous bullets were unleashed at my feet.
Thanks to some tap dancing-like foot work, I wasn’t actually hit, but that would have been quite the handicap to receive if I was…

“Well, it looks like I was right about something dangerous appearing.”

There was a muscular zombie that had gatling guns on both arms.
It was going wild on the central floor.
We had not seen anything like it near the back entrance.

“Exploding Sky Tear!”

Charge attacks for strong enemies…!
The highspeed arrow pierced its head and exploded, causing everything from the neck up to be blown away.
And yet it was so tough that this could not kill it.
Still, the headless zombie was definitely slower.
And the other two took advantage of this.

“Axeblade Slash Wave!”

Oliver’s axe unleashed a black cutting shockwave that severed both of the zombies arms, making it impossible for it to use its gatling guns.

“Saint Cross Star!”

Anne unleashed seven iron balls that crushed the zombies.
After these attacks, the gatling zombie finally turned into light and disappeared.

“Thank, Kyuji! There will be more amazing zombies like that, so keep using your charge attacks! Haha!”

The fact that he described it as ‘amazing’ showed how much he was enjoying himself.
That was fine.
But there was something else that I wondered about.

“So, it seems that Miss Kyuka…is not back yet.”

“Yeah! But I doubt she would die that easily, so she’s probably fighting some awesome zombie somewhere! I don’t want to abandon her this early, so we’ll stay here for as long as we can!”

I agreed with Oliver’s decision, but I did wonder how long they could hold.
I suppose it was all about luck whether something like the gatling zombie appeared at this phase.
It was possible that they would all die if they didn’t retreat soon.
But I wouldn’t want to abandon a friend at this point either.

I just wanted to know that she was actually alright…
I wonder if she would reply if we shouted very loudly…

‘…Kyuka here.
Anyone listening?’

Kyuka’s voice sounded in my ear piece…!
She must have found one in the west ward.
And you had to be on the same floor in order to communicate with them.
In other words, Kyuka had returned to the 1st floor!

‘I’m stuck on the 1st floor in the west ward.
I know that I messed up by going over time…but I need help now.
Over.’

“This is Kyuji.
I’ll head right over.
Over.”

‘Aa-are you sure? Aren’t you in the rear guard… Over.’

“I have a good charge attack, so it will be fine.
Over.”

‘Thanks.
Well…I’ll be waiting then.
Over.’

Then I turned back to Oliver.
He gave me a thumbs up and smiled.
I had made the decision on my own, but he was okay with it.

Perhaps he knows about I’m Arrow.
It was a charge attack that allowed you to attack while traveling long distances, so it was perfect for rescuing.
There was a long hallway on the route to the west ward, so that’s where I would use it.

“I’ll be going then! Good luck over here!”

The entrance to the west ward was already open, but there weren’t as many zombies there.
It was probably because they were fighting Kyuka.
I did not want anyone to die at a time l
