The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 247
84. Group Project (3)
“No, brother. Don’t you understand?”
Taco turned to Almond with an exasperated expression.
Whoosh.
In an instant, Almond turned his head away, pretending not to hear.
-That head-turning reaction time is insane
-Kyaa~! So reliable! Physical prowess!
Lol, does this guy not know either?
-Info) Almond probably just wasn’t listening
Even you, almond ㅠㅠ
Sigh.
Taco let out a breath and began his explanation.
“We can tell by the number of people. It’s not exact, but the fewer people and more zombies there are, the higher the likelihood it happened later. When people die, they become zombies, after all.”
“Oh. That makes sense.”
Balloon Gum nodded along.
“Good. So your dream comes first, doesn’t it?”
Mine?
Balloon Gum looked back with that expression in his eyes.
“Brother. You didn’t understand, did you?”
“No, no, no. I got it. Just joking. Joking.”
Wahaha.
Balloon Gum laughed and spoke.
“Yeah. I’m first. I had the fewest zombies.”
“Yes, good. So here’s the thing. It’s important to know exactly what point in time your dream took place.”
“Hmm… Time?”
Balloon Gum furrowed his brow and stroked his chin.
“I should have looked at the clock tower….”
In a situation that passed in an instant like a prologue, there was no way he’d been paying close attention to the clock.
At this, Almond interjected with a question.
“Wasn’t it during physical education class?”
“Huh?”
“You said you were on the athletic field.”
“Oh!?”
That’s right.
The only time students would be on the athletic field within the school is during physical education class.
If that’s the case, we just need to check when physical education was on the schedule.
“That’s it! Physical education!”
“…Physical education, what! Hey, you guys aren’t going!?”
Crash!
A woman bursts into the convenience store, knocking over every display stand in her path, and shouts loudly.
“You guys have less than a minute left before class! If I catch you in the convenience store during class time, I’m the one who gets chewed out!”
-What
Zhuge Xuan’a is crazy
Wow, it’s actually implemented ㅠㅠ that’s amazing ㅠㅠ
Here comes the goddess unnie lol
-Where’s Pizza Boy
“Hey! You there eating pizza bread! Get out of here too!”
“….”
A boy with shaggy hair flinches while secretly eating pizza bread at a table.
He had earbuds in and tried to pretend he didn’t hear, but his flinch already gave him away.
“You can totally hear me!”
When the convenience store clerk approaches him and yells harshly, he jumps in surprise and tumbles over.
“Ugh. Seriously. All of you get out! Or I’ll beat you with this mop!”
Balloon Gum bolts out faster than anyone else, then Taco and Pizza Boy leave too, but.
“….”
I just stood there motionless.
“Hey. Who do you think you are? Standing there relying on your face?”
I’m dying laughing ㅋㅋㅋ
-He’s a safe asset though~
-Almond’s face is a blue-chip stock, no?
“Ah… well….”
I was just momentarily dazed seeing Hyeon-a. She had been quite an impressive character when I played Zombie School.
“Your attempt was good? Huh? You’re using the handsome guy routine, aren’t you? My heart was literally pounding just now, I almost fell for it. How dare you try to seduce your senior!”
-Standing still when told to leave makes the woman’s heart race… noted…
-Seduced (active)
-Damn, what almost got passed over?
But didn’t you get tricked all by yourself? lol
I felt wronged since I never intentionally tried to seduce Hyeon-a romantically.
I tried to defend myself.
“When did I ever….”
“GET OUUUUUUUUUUUUT!!!”
BOOM!
All that came back was an ultrasonic shriek.
Whether she was using some lion’s roar skill according to the setting or not, I felt the heavens and earth trembling as I spun around and ran.
[Fear]
I was afflicted with a status condition.
Lol, I’m in a lion’s roar abnormal state.
You’re crazy lolol are you a martial arts master or something lol
Haha, seriously
-Your mouth’s so big lol
* * *
A moment later.
I felt like I was afflicted with another abnormal condition.
‘What’s going on?’
I was sitting in my seat, pretending to listen to class, when I noticed something odd about the schedule visible at the edge of my vision.
‘Why is there no PE class?’
The timing of PE class had been the starting clue the dream was giving me.
Now that starting point had vanished.
Today our class has no PE class.
“…What is this.”
“Huh.”
Similar murmurs echoed from around the classroom. Balloon Gum and Takoyaki.
They’d also checked the schedule.
“Ugh… What do we do? No PE?”
“I’m not really sure either….”
They exchanged words in hushed whispers so the teacher wouldn’t hear.
“…x is y squared. That’s how it works. In other words, y would become the square root of x… ah.”
The Math Teacher, who had been reciting the answer listlessly, suddenly stopped mid-sentence.
Gulp.
Balloon Gum and Takoyaki swallowed hard, thinking they’d been caught talking.
“You two. You heard that, right? This class ends 10 minutes early today, and you second-year students have the Principal’s address this afternoon.”
It seemed this had already been announced.
A murmur of “Yes~” came in response.
‘So that’s it.’
I had a sudden realization.
The children gathering on the field was because of this assembly address.
Balloon Gum had been right.
There were way~y more people. Really a lot.
It couldn’t have been made up of just the students who came out during PE time.
Today was the day the entire grade level would be heading to the field.
Ding-a-ling ding-a-ling ding~-a-ling ding-a-ling ding-a-ling ling~♪♩
After class ended.
I, Taco, and Balloon Gum quickly regrouped.
Taco asked first.
“It seems like something’s going to happen during the assembly, right?”
There was no disagreement. In fact, it became more certain.
“Yeah, that’s right. What struck me as odd was that when we lined up on the field, everyone was wearing their uniforms, not PE clothes.”
With Balloon Gum’s testimony, it was now certain that something was going to happen.
“Damn. So it’s all happening within the next hour. And we’re not even prepared?”
Team mode definitely seems to have a much faster pace.
Back in Zombie School, we were given time to adapt to the school facilities.
This time, there’s no such grace period.
“If we all just head out to the athletic field like this… the outcome will be way too predictable.”
Taco rubs his now fuller hair, looking troubled.
“Alright! Everyone! We need to head out soon! You all know what happens if we’re late for the Principal’s address!?”
The Class Representative, wearing glasses, was shouting loudly and herding the students along.
Almond watched the Class Representative with his large horn-rimmed glasses gleaming and thought to myself.
‘The Class Representative is exactly the same.’
He was the same as I’d seen in early access. His personality probably hasn’t changed either.
“Once that Class Representative starts pushing, there’s no resisting. We need to decide fast. Is there any way around this?”
That’s when Balloon Gum unexpectedly spoke up.
“We break into the school nurse’s office first!”
He looked quite confident.
As if it were the most obvious thing.
“There’s blood donation chocolate bars and medical supplies there. If I remember right, there’s even a golf club. We absolutely have to go there first.”
His memory was accurate.
Back during early access.
The school nurse’s office had surprisingly all the essentials for survival.
By pure coincidence, the School Nurse happened to play golf, so we’d secured a golf club as a weapon, and it was blood donation day so chocolate bars were stocked there. Of course the nurse’s office had medical supplies.
There was even a bed, so it was comfortable to stay in.
“Right. That’s correct. The nurse’s office was a goldmine.”
Taco nods, remembering as well.
“Exactly! So forget the address and everything else! Let’s go right now!”
“…What?”
Taco’s expression goes blank with disbelief.
“No, wait. Why would we skip the address? I already get nagged by my wife—do I really need to get scolded by the Principal too!?”
Haha, is that really the problem right now?
Haha that’s so funny, your expression is hilarious lol
-This is the wife here. Should I provide him with the usual weapon?
“No, hyung. You want to go right now? Just the three of us?”
“Yeah. That’s how we survive, right?”
Takoyaki’s expression went blank at Balloon Gum’s surprising lack of game understanding.
“No… hyung. What’s the point if only we survive!? This is a game about saving as many kids as possible, isn’t it?”
“?!”
Balloon Gum takes a step back as if hearing this for the first time.
“We’re supposed to save the kids?”
Hahahahaha
Didn’t you know? lol
-Just trying to survive alone lol
“Geez. Brother. The challenge is rescuing as many classmates as possible!”
“Ah….”
Taco found it utterly frustrating, but working with Balloon Gum was nothing new at this point.
He shook his head vigorously and refocused all his thoughts.
“First, I think the best approach is to prevent the children from leaving this place!”
“How do we prevent them from leaving? By force?”
“….”
That was the problem.
No clear method came to mind.
I couldn’t grab each child one by one and convince them that zombies were coming, nor could I use force to stop them. If I did that, I’d completely destroy the trust I’d built with the children.
‘What do I do? Should I just leave first and figure it out later?’
The Class Representative’s anger level and decibel count were already maxing out.
“Let’s go! If we don’t match the line, we’re all gonna~~~ die~~~~!”
-lol is this Player 1
-He’s so serious about this lol
-I remember this guy got bitten by a zombie before. He said it was because he didn’t match the line lol
-We gotta go anyway right?
I couldn’t test the Class Representative’s patience any further.
“Sigh. Guess we have to go. But how do I stop them once we’re out?”
Blocking the zombies pouring in from the barren field was no simple task. They’d all panic and run backward screaming for their lives.
That’s when Almond voiced this thought.
“Brother Taco. At first, there probably won’t be that many zombies.”
“That’s true.”
“What if we do early suppression?”
“You mean kill the zombies? Even so… we don’t have weapons….”
In any medium, zombie durability is practically invincible.
The zombies in Zombie School couldn’t be killed unless their brains were destroyed.
It was impossible to pierce the skull and destroy the brain without any weapons.
“I already thought about that.”
Almond pulled something out as if to say, ‘Did you think I hadn’t considered this?’
“I found this in a pencil case.”
Click.
It was a utility knife with a blade that extended and retracted.
“…With, with that?”
-Is this guy insane lol
-Don’t talk like it’s some brilliant strategy lol
-Pretending killing zombies with a utility knife is genius lol
-Taco’s pupils dilating
