Chapter 1431 - 970: On the Road (Need to Visit the Hospital Tomorrow)
Although they had boarded the train, everyone was still deeply unsettled. Food and water were pressing issues for them, and being dependent on strangers made them unsure of what kind of treatment they would receive.
"Do you think they’ll feed us?"
While staying inside the carriage, Miyamoto Rei asked softly. After all, they had stayed in the mall for so long, eating whatever was left until there wasn’t even a single can left behind. When they left the mall, each of them only carried a few items of clothing for changing and some leftover medicine. Originally, they still had some food reserves, but once the zombies swarmed into the mall, even their remaining food supplies were completely ruined...
"I don’t think they’ll let us starve... I mean, they seem pretty nice."
Marikawa Shizuka, oblivious and carefree as always, replied in an almost maddeningly relaxed tone. Still, say what one might about her—she was at least a doctor, even if just a school nurse. In the chaos of an apocalyptic world, her skills made her extraordinarily precious.
"I don’t think they look like people who’ve survived wandering through the ruins,"
Tall City Saye snorted softly.
"This train—strange as it is—is quite perplexing. I’ve heard of ’survivalists’ or whatever they’re called, people who prepare bunkers for scenarios like the apocalypse or nuclear war, but using a train as a shelter? That’s really bizarre. Trains need rails to run, and who can guarantee the tracks won’t collapse somewhere? Not to mention trains require fuel..."
As she spoke, Tall City Saye counted on her fingers, her brows furrowing deeper with each additional point.
"And also... to them, what exactly is our value?"
"Value?"
