Chapter 27: Justice & wisdom

After cleaning up the zombies, Feng Yu Chen and Takashi entered the supermarket. Nobody dared to speak, the battle just now showed them what might makes right means.

The food here is for everybody, you guys cant take it as you like!

The female cop angrily said while blocking Saeko and obstructing her ration collection effort.

Feng Yu Chen turned and walked towards her.

Miss cop, this is a big supermarket and there are plenty of food to go around, why cant you let me take just a bit? Plus these food would degrade and become inedible since there are no electricity to support freezer storage. So youre telling me you wont let us have them even if they are rotten, what a vicious heart you have!

No.. Its no-, its not like that, its just that everybody is waiting for help here and the food can only be distributed in appropriate portions, why not you guys stay here for a few days, very soon very soon help would be here for us.

Flustered female cop waved her hands in denial as she said so.

Very soon? How soon is this help going to arrive? 1 day? 2 day? 1 week? 2 week? You want us to wait for death here along with you people?

He sneered and then pointed towards the outside of the supermarket.

The outside world has become abnormal and soon a ton of zombies will congregate here, at that point even if one wanted to eescape it would be impossible, we simply have no time here to play wait-for-rescue-from-the-cops game with you!

How can that be, senpai will definitely bring a rescue squad to save us, have faith, senpai is very capable, her capabilities as a cop is better than me.

The female cop earnestly said.

Feng Yu Chen shook his head before continuing.

Even so, we wont wait for any help, this world is turning apocalyptic, if one wants to live then it must be through ones own endeavor, I admit this is blunt but a fact is a fact.

Feng Yu Chen has some idea who this female cop is, shes one of the characters inside High school of the dead manga. She didnt make an appearance during the anime because the anime got censored. And because of that there wasnt even a second season of the anime wasnt shown. And the author decided to just retcon her out of existence.

The female cops name is Nakaoka Asami. Her sense of justice is very high and she doesnt judge the hour and size up the situation. Shes a bit weak herself and seems to have died inside the manga. When the author wrote her out of story, he stopped with the manga soon afterwards. Even the author didnt like this character and decided it was best for everyone if she reincarnated.

But who cares about all that stuff, Feng Yu Chen has no intention to keep playing cops with this female cop.

Miss female cop! Someone has fallen over there, its an old man

Some dude sprint to her.

Where is the guy, bring me to him

And off she went.

I will go take a look as well since Im a school nurse (Tl: raw used doctor/ physician but if Im not wrong physician and school nurse have different educational backgrounds and cant be lumped together)

And off Marikawa Shizuka went as well.

..

A bit later, Shizuka ran over and reported her findings.

To save the old man, the serum at the nearest clinic must be obtained

I will go.

Takashi didnt even wait for her to finish and declared his intention. What a hot blooded guy.

I will go as well

Hirano Kohta said.

And then young man with glasses approached before continuing.

I am going as well. I need to get stronger and this will be my first step. Its now or never.

In an instant, the serum retrieving party has been formed. It is consisted of Asami (female cop), Takashi, Kohta and glasses dude.

Feng Yu Chen isnt going. He isnt in the mood to do anything of the sort, nows not the time to be acting like a saint. Plus, hes not in the mood to help an old man from little Japan. (Tl: i wish chinese authors especially those amateurs to keep their racial sentiments or political sentiments to themselves. See, the thing about this kind of negative bias towards japanese goes back to what happened during previous wars China had with Japan. It didnt help that Japan never fully apologized for the atrocities they did, even going as far as to set up shrines for war heroes. Of course what is hero, when theres two sides to a war.)

You people go ahead, I will just take a rest here. It has been a tiring trip and I need some rest.

Feng Yu Chen waved his hands while saying so.

Takashi nodded before continuing.

Very well, Senpai can rest at ease and leave it to us, we also need to learn to become a man who can take charge.

Hehe, with my support fires, there wont be any problem

Kohta said.

..

And so time passed for a bit before Takashi & co returned. The look on their face isnt that good, and a quick look over their party would reveal that the glass man is now missing from their ranks.

Whats the matter? Didnt find the serum?

Shizuka said in a panicked way.

The old man cant hold on much longerUpdat𝒆d fr𝒐m nôvelb(i)n.c(o)/m

We have it, here Marikawa sensei, take it to the old man

Takashi said with a forced smile as he passed the serum over to Shizuka.

Shizuka didnt pick up the weird behaviour Takashi & co are exhibiting and quickly hurried away with the serum.

Whats the matter? The glasses guy isnt coming back? Could he be lost?

Feng Yu Chen grinned. He could more or less guess what happened to the glasses guy.

He. he got bit by zombies

Takashi tried to avoid meetin ghis eyes when he said this.

With a cold hmph he turned to Asami.

This is what you wanted, to save the life of an old man, but look what happened, a young man got done in. This isnt the peaceful world you still hold inside your mind. Glasses guy for old man, and soon one of would die to save another person, but even so will you people still toughen up and save people? You overestimate yourselves, your powers arent enough to save everyone!!

You! How can you say something like that, can you really watch an old man die like that? Youre too cold blooded!

Asami screamed at Feng Yu Chen with much displeasure.

Hehe, be that as it may, this world is the one making people cold and unfeeling, the kind ones will all die. You tell me, is there any point for their kindness? Even after this event, you still wont question whether or not your actions are correct? Sure, a sense of justice is still needed, but being just and stupid will only bring death. There is a choice between survival and justice, choose between the two and not both, die for justice or live for your own sake?

Feng Yu Chen said in a cold manner.

But didnt senpai save Alice, and fought against the zombies why now do you

Takashi cant grapple with what he is trying to say.

When Feng Yu Chen heard him, he pointed at his head with a finger.

That decision was made after the exit strategies are laid out. My point is that justice isnt a fancy word you throw around and shove down other peoples throat. It is an afterthought after wisdom, it is thinking what would be for the greater good. Relying on sheer luck to make it through? I bet the glasses dude died because you people were too reckless right? (Tl: says the guy charging into zombie crowd multiple times with little to no protection prior to obtaining resistance to virus)

Its true that we got surrounded by zombies because we neglected to consider out exit paths

Kohta whimpered.

Reflect on that, it might be glorious to have an intrepid sense of justice but without the aid of wisdom, this justice will die later down the road

Well, if youre that mature why didnt you come with?

Asami said with red eyes.

Go together with you people? Are you pushing the blame onto me? Dont you cops consider entries and exit paths before operations? Is your brain full of nothing but glue? How did you become a cop?

Feng Yu Chen mocked her.

You

Asami at a loss for words, her face flushed red in shame and frustration.
