HOTD! Busujima's Step Brother-Chapter 60 – The Real Goal

Zombies gathered at the gate, and our arrival attracted them to us.

"Hold tight, dear. We're gonna break the fence!" Miss Shizuka exclaimed cheerfully, stepping the gas pedal harder.

Crashh!!

Humvees might be bulky, but they weren't built to be driven straight through solid steel barriers like what we encountered now.

Our momentum slowed significantly when colliding head-on against a sturdy metal barricade blocking the path ahead.

However, the humvee won. We managed to pierce through and enter the airport area.

The humvee shook and Saya screamed.

"Kyaa!" She grabbed onto my arm tightly and held it close to her chest, burying her face against my bicep, "Ouch...!"

"S-Sorry..." Miss Shizuka apologized guiltily.

"No, it's fine." Saya answered while rubbing her behind.

"Miss Shizuka, keep moving!" I shouted loudly upon seeing an incoming horde approaching from behind us rapidly, "Drive to the hanger! Quickly!"

"O-Okay," the nurse replied hastily.

Screetch!

Our car sped away once again, heading towards the hangar located far ahead. Unfortunately, our tires suddenly started losing traction and spinning uncontrollably for some reason.

"Kyaa!"

"Hold on!" Miss Shizuka tried her best to maintain control over the steering wheel.

The car spun wildly before stopping completely with a loud screeching sound. I quickly grabbed my rifle and jumped out of the car.

"Miss Shizuka, start the car again and go to the hangar first." I commanded firmly, pointing towards a large building nearby.

"I will help you, brother." Saeko jumped off as well, joining me alongside carrying her katana.

"What are you doing!? We need to escape!!!" Saya shouted angrily from inside the humvee. "You idiots!"

But I didn't answer.

BANG!

My gunshot pierced through one zombie skull effortlessly. However, countless more kept following closely afterwards, approaching menacingly from all directions.

"Go!"

"I am trying!" Miss Shizuka shouted back, trying her best to restart the humvee.

After a few tries, the engine finally roared to life again. She accelerated the gas pedal, steering wheel towards the hangar, leaving us alone outside the airport perimeter surrounded by swarms of undead.

I thought I was ready for this, but the reality proved to be harsher than what I initially anticipated.

'Shit! They're coming too fast!'

I fired at the closest zombie's head several times until he dropped dead, falling face first into the pavement beneath my feet.

As soon as one fell, another appeared.

Shooting them was tiring. Fortunately, Saeko's sword was capable enough to take care of those who came near. She cut through their necks swiftly like cutting vegetables.

I could still hear the humvee's noise. We had to stall for more time until they could reach the hangar and bring a plane outside.

If they got ambushed before arriving at a safe place, everyone would die. Zombies didn't possess enough strength or intellect to open a door.

'At least we won't run out of bullets...'

Even so, I had to fire slowly and precisely at each target. Wasting bullets recklessly was stupid.

"Saeko, run toward the hangar on my mark." I shouted loudly, hoping she understood me amidst gunfire being exchanged between us and incoming hordes of zombies. "Reloading, cover me!"

Saeko moved forward and decapitated a couple zombies with precision. Blood splattered everywhere covering her uniform completely red. Some even sprayed directly onto her face but she didn't seem to mind at all.

I emptied a magazine before tossing it into my vest and inserting a new one inside.

'20 shots and 3 full mags remaining...'

Thinking so, I slung my rifle over my back and unsheathed my katana. I fought next to Saeko, stopping the zombies from approaching us. However, their numbers didn't seem to decrease.

In fact, there were more of them coming from the airport like a wave crashing against the shoreline. The endless stream of corpses caused chills throughout my entire body.

At that moment, I could only hear the zombies' groans and our breathing sounds. My eyes widened as I quickly pulled one flashbang from my vest.

"Sis, run!"

The flashbang arched midair toward the center of the zombie cluster. It touched the ground with clanging sounds before releasing deafening noise and blinding lights.

Boom!

That was my cue.

I pulled Saeko's hand and sprinted away toward the hangar at full speed. She looked surprised at my fast movement but nevertheless followed without any complaint.

My adrenaline rush gave me additional strength to drag Saeko's hand tighter as I ran faster than normal, dodging all obstacles blocking my way effortlessly.

The humvee was parked near the entrance of the hangar. There weren't any zombies chasing them. All zombies must've been running toward our former spot. I saw Saya waving her hand from afar calling us desperately.

"Come here!"

Saeko and I finally arrived in front of the hangar. When the door opened wide open, revealing the interior of the building filled with darkness. It was an empty space except for one object standing tall above everything else within view.

An airplane.

'Damn. There is one here!'

My luck finally turned around, but I couldn't rest easy yet.

"Close the door."

Miss Shizuka, who held the controller for the door, pressed it. It closed on its own accord with a press of a button.

However, the process was painfully slow. The zombies in the distance began moving again, attracted by the sound generated from closing the doors.

I quickly pulled the pin of another flashbang and threw it as far as I could away from us. Once again, a loud explosion and bright light occurred which attracted all the zombies.

The door was fully closed after a few seconds.

Now we were safe.

Safe inside this massive building, separated from the outside world thanks to thick walls surrounding us.

I turned around to see a small-sized plane parked right before our eyes. It wasn't anything fancy but definitely usable for escaping to somewhere else where there might be survivors waiting for rescue.

Now, we have another problem.

'We have no pilot.'

Going blindly to the airport without knowing how to fly a plane might be stupid. However, I didn't come here without a plan.

'Airport is usually built near the sea. And the area around it must be clear as it is needed for the landing procedure. Hence...'

There would be boats near here.

My plan since the start wasn't to get a plane but a boat.

So there was no problem at all.
