Looking at the same scenery for too long was an incredibly boring experience, whether for the driver or the passenger.
It was also the kind of monotony that made people drowsy.
After turning on autopilot, the two of them could only sit around with nothing to do, watching the trees constantly flash backward past the sides of the vehicle.
On a road wide enough for eight cars to drive side by side, their RV was the only one moving forward.
Aside from the zombie they had encountered earlier, they had not seen a single other living thing.
“No wonder people die quickly if they stop on the road.
Not only are there no supplies, there aren’t even any animals.” Shiro idly fiddled with the passenger-seat screen as he spoke in boredom.
Although the screen showed no response at all, this was the only thing he could use to kill time.
“Mou… it really is boring.” Even someone as optimistic as Marikawa Shizuka was the same.
The two looked at each other, then sighed at the same time.
As the two of them waited in boredom, time slowly moved into evening.
With autopilot running, they did not need to keep watching the RV drive in real time, so both of them left the driver’s area.
Shiro watched as night gradually climbed into the sky, then went straight into the bathroom to wash up.
Since there was no entertainment, he might as well wash and sleep.
Resting early was the better choice.
The rising steam washed away the fatigue that had built up from sitting in the vehicle all day.
At the same time, it also soothed the heart that still had not fully adjusted to reality.
As a perfectly ordinary young man who had grown up in a peaceful society, everything Shiro experienced today had been far too shocking.
First came the unscientific transmigration.
Then came a zombie, the kind of thing he should only have seen in movies and dramas.
Finally, there was the scene of him killing that zombie, replaying again and again in his mind.
“Peaceful life is gone for good, huh.” Shiro pressed his forehead against the bathroom wall and murmured tiredly.
Those stories where protagonists killed without feeling anything were completely fake.
As a normal person, how could he possibly have no reaction?
After he left the bathroom, Shizuka went in without waiting for him to say anything.
Shiro could only shake his head helplessly.
Fortunately, if they used the water in the tank sparingly, it should last three or four days.
As long as they did not bathe too often, it would be fine, since the RV’s current water tank was not very large.
Click.
While Shiro lay on the bed in a daze, Shizuka had already stepped out of the bathroom.
“Mmm!
A bath after such a tiring day really does feel wonderful!” Her OL outfit had vanished, replaced by only two thin pieces of clothing that barely concealed her alluring curves.
A faint mist of steam clung to Shizuka’s skin.
Her cheeks, flushed from the warmth of the bath, made the mature and voluptuous older woman look utterly irresistible.
“Gulp.” Shiro could not help swallowing, then quickly turned his head aside.
She really was far too careless.
After all, even if he counted every minute, he and Shizuka had not known each other for a full day yet!
“Mmm!
Let’s sleep, Shiro-kun!” With a sudden pounce, Shizuka threw herself onto him, snuggling into his arms before drifting off into a drowsy slumber.
Poor Shiro.
He could only lie there, his body stiff as a board, staring at the ceiling while she rested on top of him.
He breathed in her fragrance and felt the softness of her body pressing against his.
His youthful vigor was impossible to suppress; his hardening erection pressed firmly against her soft lower abdomen.
Whether it was because Shizuka was incredibly dense or simply too exhausted to notice, her breathing remained steady and undisturbed.
Seeing her completely unguarded, Shiro could only stare helplessly at the RV’s ceiling, his thoughts spiraling into chaos.
Just like that, amid his muddled thoughts, with the woman beside him breathing softly in her sleep, Shiro eventually sank into slumber as well.
The next few days passed in the same way for Shiro and Shizuka.
The trust and affection between them began rising rapidly.
The Codex interface, which originally listed their relationship as Acquaintance, had already changed to Friendly.
It once again gave Shiro one additional point in Physique, bringing his Physique to 6.
Such an obvious increase also made Shizuka fond of touching Shiro’s abs.
Yes, because of the Physique bonus, his body had undergone a qualitative leap.
After all, the maximum value for an ordinary person was only 5!
“Wow!
Shiro-kun, look over there!
Is that the resource zone?” Sitting in the driver’s seat, Shizuka looked at the fork in the road ahead, where wisps of smoke rose in the distance.
She shook Shiro excitedly.
“Sensei, stop shaking me!
I’m going to fall apart!
It’s already been seven days, so naturally, it’s time for us to enter a resource point.
Get ready.
Are you going to wait in the RV, or are you coming with me to explore?” Shiro took out the baseball bat he had cleaned earlier, finished putting himself in order, then sat back in the passenger seat.
The RV, still driving automatically, slowly entered the resource zone.
“Of course I’m going with you, Shiro-kun.
How could I feel at ease letting you search for supplies all by yourself?
I’m a teacher, so I have to protect my student!
Besides, two people will definitely search faster than one, won’t they?” Shizuka buttoned the top two buttons of her shirt, lifted her chin, closed her eyes, and lectured Shiro.
After sleeping beside each other for the past few days, Shizuka had become increasingly casual around him.
The accidental little bits of fanservice she often gave out had also been quite the feast for Shiro’s eyes.
“Then let’s go together.
Having one more person really will let us collect more supplies.
But let’s make this clear first, Sensei.
You have to follow me closely and not get too far away, understand?” Shiro nodded.
Indeed, just as Shizuka said, one more person meant they could gather more supplies.
Although Shiro’s system warehouse had ten more slots than ordinary players, that was only convenient if the other teammate stayed behind to guard the vehicle.
If Shizuka went with him, their thirty total warehouse slots would definitely make gathering supplies more efficient.
After refueling and filling the water tank, the RV slowly stopped inside the parking lot.
The two got out of the vehicle.
Shiro held the baseball bat, while Shizuka carried the entrenching shovel.
Looking around, Shiro did not see any other players’ RVs aside from their own.
He did not know whether they were the only group of players here, or if the other players simply had not arrived yet.
Either way, what they needed to do now was gather supplies.
The resource zone was not small, and walking alone would take quite a bit of time.
The two walked out of the parking lot gate and immediately felt as though they had passed through an invisible curtain of light.
This was probably the barrier protecting the parking lot.
Perhaps because they were still on the outer edge of the resource zone, the area before them was large, but there were not many buildings.
The overall style looked like a rural town in Northern Europe.
As for the wisps of smoke Shizuka had seen earlier, they were coming from a burning house.
On the street, Shiro could also see a few scattered zombies wandering about.
“There aren’t many buildings here, and most of them are family homes.
To be safe, we’ll move together.” Shiro looked at the wandering zombies, then glanced at the careless blonde beauty beside him.
With a sigh, he walked at the very front.
