The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort C604 – Railgun

Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave

Four days after sailing on the sea, Jiang Zhuying shouted excitedly all of a sudden, “Land! I see land!”

Everyone rushed to the deck immediately and looked at a coastal city that had appeared in the vast expanse of sea. But to be frank, it was a ruined city with destroyed buildings, black blood stains and debris all over the place. It did not differ at all than any other city in China. Evidently, no country had escaped the disaster.

Shortly after, the missile boat reached shallow water. Jiang Liushi was not afraid about damaging the missile boat as the moment it hit land, Ying would revert it to the mining truck form.

The mining truck, weighing more than 160 tons, was driven on the sea, or more precisely its tires had sunk two meters beneath the water surface until landing on the ground, and it was quite stable. After reaching the beach, it was transformed into the tour bus again. Xiang Xuehai was flabbergasted by the whole amazing process. She couldn't help but admit that Jiang Liushi's vehicle was invincible. Undeniably, it was a miracle to have such a safe mobile base in this terrible world.

“Which city is this?” asked Jiang Liushi asked.

Jiang Zhuying shook her head. Although they had prepared a detailed map of the country, it was useless because there was no GPS positioning.

Since they did not know where they were, they drove the bus along the road to a residential area. There were many road signs everywhere on the road, which were basically written in Japanese characters.

“This is Waka County,” said Ran Xiyu after translating a road sign. “We will arrive in Waka, which can be regarded as the east coast of Honshu Island, soon,” added Ran Xiyu while staring at the map.

Although the west coast of Japan was closer to China, the two countries were blocked by the Korean Peninsula.

Looking at the map, Jiang Liushi also nodded. “We will set off from the Waka County, and then we will go to Tokyo. As for the communication, it's all depends on you, Xiyu.”

Ran Xiyu could read and speak in Japanese almost fluently. In fact, it was easy for Chinese people to learn Japanese. As long as one mastered the Kana syllabary, learning Japanese would be quite simple. Moreover, most of the words were originally Chinese, so Japanese was much simpler to be learned than English for Chinese people. Ran Xiyu could communicate with others by using Japanese fluently as the Ranke Group did business with many Japanese companies. Actually, she was an excellent learner. When she was only 20, she had been to America for her MBA. From then on, she had started studying the popular languages step by step.

“Brother, I also can. Don't forget that I'm good at speaking Japanese,” said Jiang Zhuying with a smile.

Upon hearing that, Jiang Liushi was stunned. Then, his sister explained to him why she knew how to speak Japanese. It was actually quite simple. As a hardcore anime fan, and a binge-watcher at that, she had taken the chance to learn Japanese in university to watch anime that had yet to be dubbed.

Although Jiang Liushi was annoyed by the reason, he still felt it was a good thing that his sister had learned another language.

While they were chatting, the tour bus entered the urban area. Except from Tokyo, Japanese buildings were generally not high, and usually, one would see three or four-story buildings and wooden houses. That had to do with Japan's architectural habits. It was said that the Japanese didn't want to let their houses be blocked by high-rise buildings. They needed and loved the sunshine.

As they entered the city, Jiang Liushi felt the street was relatively narrow, especially for his tour bus. Some abandoned cars were blocking the road, so Jiang Liushi had to use the robotic arms to move them. The main roads had not been cleared, which meant that even if there were survivors, their strength was not very strong. Otherwise, those roads should have been cleared up by now.

At that moment, Ying shouted, “Brother Jiang, something happened in front of us.”

Jiang Liushi looked up and fixed his eyes on a building at the end of the street.

“It is a middle school,” said Ran Xiyu.

“Yeah.” Jiang Liushi nodded.

Currently, dozens of zombies were dashing toward the school, and they surrounded it quickly.

Ran Xiyu activated her mental power and scanned the building. “There are six survivors inside. If my guess is right, the building should be their base. They attracted those zombies when they went out to find food. One zombie among them is intelligent, so it led the way to rush in. Those six survivors have been driven to the building's terrace.”

While Ran Xiyu was explaining, they arrived in front of the building.

Most of the zombies were dressed in office attire. Most of the male zombies were wearing suits, while the female ones were wearing pantsuits. Naturally, after such a long time, their clothes were dirty and in tatters, revealing part of their ugly bodies.

The zombies roared unconsciously, and then they rushed to the top floor. It was obvious that the six survivors had nowhere to run anymore. They were ready for a desperate struggle, but they were still too weak in front of this group of zombies.

Suddenly, to Jiang Liushi's surprise, he noticed that a rope had been thrown from the roof. The six people fixed the rope and started to climb down from the side of the school building, where fewer zombies were present.

“Good adaptability!” Jiang Liushi smiled.

The strength of this group of survivors may not be strong, but they had forethought. They were three men and three women, all wearing the school uniforms of the State Middle School. The boys were wearing suits and girls were wearing sailor skirts. Although a long time had passed since the outbreak, the six survivors' clothes were still neat.

One of the girls was very flexible. She not only took care of other people from falling off the rope but also held a katana and rushed to the front, killing zombies. The girl, who seemed to be about 17 years old, was among the best level-1 paranormals they had seen. In the midst of battle, the girl was also protecting her classmates. And then she took the initiative to stay behind and battle the zombies.

At this moment, the zombies on the terrace found out the direction their preys had escaped to. They revealed fierce expressions and jumped from the terrace!

The girl's heart suddenly tightened while a chill ran down her spine. She knew that her ability was limited, and once surrounded, they would all be killed.

“Run fast! I will fight against them!” She shouted and branded the katana in her hand.

During the past year, that katana had helped her uncountable times now. Even its edge had become blunt from the continuous usage. Unfortunately, this time, she was not confident at all.

“Xia Mei, but you…” A girl said worriedly but stopped upon seeing the zombies falling from the sky. Her fear overwhelmed her worry about Xia Mei's well-being.

The five people from the group ran away quickly, while Xia Mei stayed behind fending off the zombies. That did not last for long as the zombies managed to break the Xia Mei's katana and sent her flying a few meters back. Xia Mei crashed against a wall and broke her arm. The zombies were far more powerful than her.

While Xia Mei was wallowing in despair, the unexpected happened!

At that moment, Jiang Zhuying dashed out of the tour bus. She could allow a girl, who was as old as her, to be swallowed by those ugly zombies. Jiang Zhuying jumped in the air like a cute elf enshrouded in blue currents of electricity. Before her arrival, she had already swept the whole area of tens of meters with her blue current.

“You're dead meat!” Jiang Zhuying waved her hands violently thunderbolts struck the zombies. The intelligent zombie had it worse as the volatile power in Jiang Zhuying's attack sent it flying to the drainage pipe of the school. The raging current flowed through its body and then flowed into the earth along the drainage pipe. The zombie's body was charred black.

Immediately after, Jiang Zhuying shouted, and her current's power reached 100,000 volts! Every zombie in the vicinity was killed by Jiang Zhuying. Even if they hadn't died, they had collapsed on the ground, dying slowly. In just a few seconds, the zombies near the middle school were eradicated by Jiang Zhuying, leaving only those who stayed in the teaching building. However, after losing the intelligent zombie issuing the commands, they could only wander inside.

The survivors were utterly shocked by Jiang Zhuying's performance. They had never thought that a girl of their age could be so powerful. Even Xia Mei felt it was amazing.

“Oh, my God, are you… the most powerful and invincible Electric Princess -Misaka Mikoto 1 ? You must be Misaka!” Xia Mei's eyes were shining brightly. It was obvious that Jiang Zhuying was just a little older than her, but how could she be that powerful?

“Eh? I am not…” Jiang Zhuying became shy after hearing Xia Mei's words.

Jiang Liushi could not understand Japanese, but he had heard the two words many times. That was, Misaka. As a result, he asked, “Who is Misaka?”

“She is an anime character, known as Railgun,” replied Jiang Zhuying, while waving to that girls. “I'm not Misaka. My name is Jiang Zhuying.”

“But I think you are Sister Misaka! You're are as powerful and beautiful as her! I will be calling you Sister Misaka!” Xia Mei said with excitement.
