Escaping the Nuclear Fallout Shelter that has Turned Into a Dungeon Alone Chapter 2

Arrow’s Owner

2/4

「Ge~e~e~！」

Behind me the lizard man raise it’s voice.

Hearing that voice I ran desperately while feeling goose b.u.mps emerge!

Never before I had ran so fast, but I guess the body pushes itself to it’s limit when trying to survive, or in this case escape.

I reach the end of the pa.s.sage and came in front of the door immediately, and pushed the open / close b.u.t.ton.

“Pushū”! It is frustrating for the door to slide.

I tried to squeeze in through the gap as it opened, but I noticed the lizard man was approaching nearby. At this rate, even if I get through, it will take more time to close the door, and I will get caught in the meantime!

While squeezing the body through the gap of the door, I search my pocket. I immediately found what I wanted, broke the package a bit and threw it at the lizard.

It hits the chest of the lizard man, and it exposes it’s teeth and stares at me.

But then the nose twitch as having noticed something immediately.

What I threw was a chocolate bar, frantically pus.h.i.+ng the opening / closing b.u.t.ton while it is distracted.

“Pushū”! And the door will now close.

The lizard that was picking up the chocolate bar noticed it and began to run towards here. The door closes just within a hair’s breadth, gan! A sound reverberates from the other side. I immediately locked the door and made it impossible to open it.

“Gan”! “Gan”! And the door keeps being beaten.

As I escaped from that sound, I sat down at the corner of the room shaking and trembling.

How many minutes has it been?

The lizard man leaves from the front of the door and silence returns again.

Why me of all people?

I look around the room with such a question. This is also a big room, like a cla.s.sroom?

I also found an arrow on the wall. I followed that arrow.

To the corner of the room where the arrow was pointing downwards there was some sort of switch.

I pull down the handle of the switch.

Beeep! Along with a warning tone, doddoddo! I heard something like an engine sound. Click! Creak! Switching from emergency light to ceiling lighting.

The brightly lit interior is like a strategy room seen in movies. There is a control unit with a machine in the center, and in the back is a picture panel embedded in the wall.

I look at the switch I just pulled, it was labeled as backup power supply.

I found arrows on the wall again. It seems that it points to the desk in the corner of the room.

There are books and cards on the desk. The card was carefully put in a black box.

The cards are labeled Olympos Church New t.i.tan Area evacuation shelter control key.

Is this supposed to be an evacuation shelter?

The New t.i.tan area if I remember correctly is a district located next to the Takeuchi district.

I was……at … … at school, at a ceremony ……

「Ah! It hurts!」

My head aches, it seems better not to forcibly remember.

Let’s continue the search for the time being.

Is this all?

All the drawers were opened, anything else?

I found a handle when I looked at the floor incidentally. There seems to be storage under the floor.

Inside..there are some familiar items.

My clothes, wallet, smartphone, backpack, and a bag of wheat flour.

20 kg of flour, I found a letter with it.

One line in the letter.

I am sorry. Meia ・Nine

That was the only thing written.

Meia · Nine is the name of the homeroom teacher of cla.s.s 1-3 at Toroia High School, where I was. She wore gla.s.ses, and was a bit strange but was loved and called Meia-chan by the students.

What does she mean by I am sorry? Was Meia-sensei the one who left me here? Meia-sensei drew that arrow?

Why, am I here … … throb!

Hahh, better not think about it now.

Is this flour a gift from Meia-sensei? Looking around, there are no places that I can cook.

Meia-sensei…this situation is a little..

I check the baggage for the time being.

I pressed the power b.u.t.ton on the smartphone but it does not start. It seems to have run out of batteries, since there is a charger, should I connect it to an outlet?

It is troublesome to change clothes now, as good as it is.

My wallet has coins and a student ID.

The name on the student ID is my name, Arusu ・ Kureto.

Is the problem food?

Currently I have 2 bottles of water and 2 servings of jelly and 1 chocolate bar.

This is very bad.

I do not know what time or day it is today.

There are 20 kg of flour, but will you break your stomach if you eat raw?

What if……

I drank some water to calm the mind.

Hmm? Something came to mind as I was looking at the water bottle in my hand.

That’s right, this came from the the box I was in. There were 20 boxes in all. If I search them, I can get food for 19 more days?

Hope surfaces and I half rise to my feet

However, it sunk soon.

There is that scary lizard outside … …

It is useless … I cannot go get food.

Feeling down, should I listen to music as a change of pace?

I turned on the charging smartphone. Let’s see, the music player app……here we go.

At that time, the incoming call goes off.

The game effects ringtone sounds vigorously!

I like games and the ringtones I use are game sound effects and opening melodies. Because of this, in cla.s.s I am called a game otaku, but this sound is email.

The t.i.tle of the mail ……

To the surviving people

That was what was written.

I forgot to breathe at the moment I saw it, my heart beat fierce.

The sender is a pile operator, an unknown name. I notice unnatural numbers on the phone!

The transmission date and time is year 2205.

It should be 2105 now, is the condition of the smartphone bad?

Opening the mail while confused.

I try to find out more about this world.
