HOTD! Busujima's Step Brother

Chapter 39 – Title At the End of Chapter

Frankly speaking, Highschool Of The Dead’s original story never went into detail about small details like this. Which was understandable considering it was written as an action, gore, and fanservice harem manga.

And based on how everything happened, it wasn't part of the plot at all.

"Maybe it's not important for us. Let's go again." I stood up and told the others.

While I said that, I did think this underground facility was important and planned to visit alone later. There was something that I was suspicious about. Especially why would they go so far to keep it secret from us.

And that cop, Nishimura...

An interrogation might be needed.

We began to move once again after 3 minutes. The footsteps from below had scattered around, I believed they tried to find us around the first to third floor. Perfect to allow us escape.

I handed my handgun to Takashi, one I believed would shoot in the case of an emergency. He needed it to protect our rear or the girls when I and Saeko were too far away.

The new choice I received after running into the giant seemed like a trap.

If I ran away in my current condition, the giant monster would catch up to us. Why?

'A fucking Tyrant!'

Because that giant monster was a Tyrant, the Bio Weapon designed by Umbrella fucking Corporation. 

That thing had a program to annihilate all threats in front of him. And he would never stop chasing after me and Saeko if I decided to run away.

So, there was only one option.

'Kill it and run.'
