Chapter 11. Do your best in each position (6)

* * * * *

Like water naturally flowing, it is flowing in a bad direction. Another problem is that the 12-lane road is narrowing to 10 lanes, 8 lanes, and 6 lanes, and there is no clear way out.

The military police did not block large intersections. Instead, patrol cars, motorcycles, and military trucks poured out of the narrow road. I feel like my breathing is slowly getting tighter.

“It has come full circle. If this continues, I’ll end up spinning around in Earth 17! “Genius doctor, do you have any good ideas?”

Camilla’s sharp voice. The preceding vehicle tried various ways to force its way through the road, but there was no apparent solution.

“I warn you again. Stop the car. This is legitimate law enforcement! If you don’t stop, we will fire!”

Director Virginia shouted loudly from behind. Each time Camilla hysterically put her hand on the door handle. If she got around to it, she opened the door and hung on to her car, ready to shoot her gun in the back.

“Cassandra. It only takes a moment. Turn the car slightly to give a shooting angle. Then you can blow her head off.”

“Impossible.”

Every time, Cassandra spoke coldly.

“The ride height is already relatively high, but if you make such a sudden maneuver, it will flip over. Then not only will we die, but the car following us will also be caught. “Cassandra wants to can that woman as a zombie, but she doesn’t want to die with her.”

“That woman shot and killed my colleagues!”

Camilla slammed her fist down on the sheets.

“That woman took Cassandra’s name.”

The green eyes looked gloomy and lifeless, but their hostility was clear. Cassandra also wanted to kill Director Virginia.

But, why don’t the military police fire their guns?

It was a strange thing. The military police repeatedly only gave hand signals telling them to stand close, and stayed close to the side in a threatening manner, but did not fire their guns. Even if it’s because we don’t have enough bullets, we can’t waste them carelessly.

Just when I was wondering if the military police might have run out of bullets because of yesterday’s zombie outbreak, wow. Ugh. My cell phone rang.

This time it was a call from Leticia, no, Leti.

But I can’t receive it. The sounds of sirens and loudspeakers persistently demanding that you stop are ringing in your ears.

He is a criminal who is being chased by everyone, but in this situation, he talks to Leticia, a military officer? You lose the business you worked so hard to build. The best thing to do is to pull it off.

Instead, I couldn’t ignore two calls, so I quickly sent a message.

– Sorry, I’m driving. I’ll call you later.

The reply came quickly.

– Ugh. I’m sorry^^ I didn’t know you were driving. ㅠㅠ While watching the news, I was so worried that I contacted you to see if you were okay.

News? What news?

I accessed the Internet window and searched for ‘real-time news.’ There was a similar YouTube video channel here too. A live streaming screen was displayed.

“Wow. “Our TV is on.”

It appears that the helicopter above was not military, but belonged to a national broadcasting company.

The subtitles at the bottom read, ‘Tracking important criminals in the Hamptons.’ We could see our cars running in a row, military police motorcycles surrounding us as if they were escorts, and cars following behind us.

Is this something this important to handle? Is Cassandra really that important? While I was panicking, I heard a faint voice.

The real-time screen switched and the inside of the news studio was visible. Four panelists were sitting, each talking about something.

– … As you know, didn’t 8th Military Police Commander Camio Minto declare martial law in Hampton? It makes no sense that a large city in the south was quarantined in an instant. So, I guess you could say that this is a kind of discipline.

– I agree. In fact, citizens must be extremely anxious and uncomfortable, right? Those zombies must be so persistent.

– To those people, in some ways, this is like a police car parade. We are alive and well, you are safe, I think that is what Military Police Commander Minto is thinking. Look. You’re not shooting peacefully.

– Rather, I think it is because using guns can have the opposite effect. As you know, even civilians in Hampton are armed now.

– Since martial law is something that suppresses civil liberties, it cannot happen unless there are complaints. Of course, the people who call themselves the National Military Police are treating the people of Elsa like residents of an occupied territory – beep –

We have returned to the live broadcast screen.

“What? Are we being publicly executed?”

Camilla responded sarcastically.

“No. “Shepherd hunting.”

No matter how I looked at it, it seemed like it was more correct.

“I feel worse.”

The screen changed again. There were clearly four panels earlier, but one disappeared, leaving only three. The three people exchanged words calmly as if nothing had happened.

– Oh, look. The military police are already blocking the road leading to the highway. I can’t get out of this like this. hehehehe, if there are trucks that big blocking the road, it’s difficult even if there are three pickup trucks.

Wow. Ugh. The phone rang. It was Cassandra’s.

“Yes. Say it. What? No. Don’t talk nonsense. No way.”

It was the first time she spoke so firmly. But as soon as Cassandra answered, a wide intersection appeared.

“No!”

As soon as Cassandra let out a yell that was close to her scream, the car ahead of her swerved her steering wheel. She did the same with the car that was following behind her.

They are now trying to open a gap. The intention seemed to be to spread out and repel the pursuit of the military police.

In other words, it also means that they have no clue right now. Cassandra followed the car ahead of her and tried to turn her steering wheel. But I held on tightly to the steering wheel.

“What are you doing! No!”

– Ah, look. In the end, the criminals split up, right? You used your brain well, but if things continue like this, you will be destroyed individually.

– Actually, it’s the same even if we go together. Ultimately, if things continue like this, you will get caught in the net.

The sound of the panels was loud. There was also a time when I was starting to feel jealous.

If I knew where the broadcasting station was, I would blow it up immediately. Moreover, if it’s news, quite a few civilians are probably watching it right now…

Civilians are watching?

“This broadcast channel is watched by a lot of people, right?”

“It’s not something I watch a lot, it’s just one news channel.”

Camilla answered right away.

“Cassandra. “Can you please slow down?”

“What?”

“Camilla. I’ll go behind you. “Please leave the left seat empty.”

“Huh?”

I rolled up the passenger window and went into the back seat. Fortunately, the inside of the car was quite spacious, so I didn’t have to twist my body around.

“Why suddenly?”

“I’m going to open the left window, so please provide cover.”

But before I could open the window, Camilla grabbed my arm tightly.

“What are you trying to do? “Are you going to shoot that manager?”

While the military police pursuit party was torn into three parts, Commander Virginia was steadily following us.

In theory, it is possible to stick your upper body through the glass window and aim backwards to shoot. There is a high chance that you will be shot and killed before you even fire a single shot.

“Don’t worry, I won’t shoot you. I’m just going to open the window. Those sidecar military police might shoot at us, so we just ask for cover. Cassandra, please slow down. And stick a little closer to the center line.”

“… “I won’t do it unless there is a reasonable explanation.”

I showed it directly instead of saying it in words.

* * * * *

‘Damn inspiration.’

Virginia thought as she followed along on her motorcycle.

Military Police Commander Kamio Minto noticed her unexpected behavior sooner than expected. But perhaps because she got a real beating last time, she didn’t criticize her outright.

Instead, a broadcasting station helicopter was launched. Everything Virginia did would soon be attributed to Captain Minto. She was like giving a dog to a dog because she made a mess of it.

‘I’ll have to change it after this is over. All you have to do is catch them on suspicion of corruption and forcibly reorganize them. The old snake is full of greed.’

Because the helicopter was flown away, Virginia and the military police were unable to freely use their firearms. Now everyone around Erza would be paying attention to her actions.

Everyone knows that Hampton was caught defenseless by a flock of zombie birds.

In the meantime, if you use a lot of bullets to catch important people, you will definitely get ridiculed people saying, ‘The military police are good at arresting for show while they can’t even stop zombies.’

‘What a stupid old Erza!’

Cassandra is a much more valuable character in Roemer than Erza. But even Virginia, who knew Cassandra’s background and origins, could not ‘pull out’ Cassandra.

Her persistent bullying and mistreatment may cause Elsa to go out on her own feet.

The operation worked quite well. To some extent, I knew that Cassandra would come out like this. But she wanted a quiet arrest, not a public arrest and showmanship like this. She’s cumbersome and has a lot of work to do, but if she doesn’t do her best, she’ll get nothing but criticism.

The moment the three cars separated at the intersection, Virginia made a decision.

14 It was a good thing that I was able to manage the military police, but I needed to get used to it. My hands and feet are not yet ready for such delicate commands as this type of arrest.

Her subordinates are already doing as well as she wants. So, it’s better for her to push herself a little harder. And she never seemed difficult.

Virginia took out a revolver.

She was not the model used in the helicopter. It is a slightly smaller model than that. Barrel length 20cm, specially manufactured .357 Caliber. Olt Python.

However, it is a model specially produced for Virginia, and has a cylinder that can hold 7 rounds, so it is made so that it can be used with a general .357 Caliber firearm, not for competition use, without any problems. And of course, this gun also has a long snake carved on it.

I don’t know if I can break through that bulletproof glass with this. However, you can tear a tire without difficulty. Bulletproof plates were also installed on the tires, but if you sneak into a blind spot and shoot cleverly…

Suddenly, the car slowed down.

‘Are you trying to stop? ‘Now you come?’

With a pistol in one hand, Virginia slowed down the motorcycle. The same went for other motorcycles and vehicles. But you have to be careful. If suddenly the gun comes out and shoots her men…

“That’s right. Doing well. Now slowly pull the car to the shoulder of the road… “

Something was strange. The car did not slow down further.

Virginia thought she should stick to the driver’s side. Since the lanes were controlled anyway, there was no problem even if I narrowly crossed the center line.

It was then. Something was scattered outside the window.

Luckily it wasn’t a bomb. It was much smaller, shiny, and colorful.

It was a jewel. Handfuls of jewelry were being thrown out of the vehicle.

‘What kind of trick is this?’

I must have lost my mind, Virginia thought. Are you really trying to bribe the military police with money like that? That was a possibility.

Bang!

Virginia fired her revolver into the sky. The volume of the loudspeaker was turned up to maximum and the message was transmitted through the microphone inside the helmet.

“Anyone who stops to pick up fallen jewels will be killed immediately!”

– All right, Captain!

But the urgent radio signal came from somewhere else.

“Something.”

– Citizens are running out into the driveway! It’s like picking up a gem!

Virginia looked around. Civilians were running indiscriminately around the road.

“Patrol car! News! “What are they talking about on the news right now?”

– We are live streaming the gems being sprayed from the vehicle! Please wait a moment!

The radio of the patrol car following behind sizzled. It seemed like the radio was brought close to the car’s audio system.

– Ah, what is that now? Is it a gem? Are you sprinkling gems? hehehehe, the person who picks it up must be the owner! Citizens are already pouring into the streets!

– Oh, this is dangerous. This is very dangerous. Is the civic consciousness of the people of District 17 at this level? Alas, is the vehicle headed to District 18 now? Citizens of District 18! It’s dangerous, so stay inside! You’ll die trying to pick up gems!

“Tell them to stop broadcasting! Right now!”

Virginia was furious. More civilians poured into the road. As if it were natural, they were armed with automatic weapons.

The car in front is booming! And quickly increased the speed.

“I’m pursuing you! Stop the civilians as much as possible!”

Virginia’s motorcycle stretched out with a roar.
