They left the Diner and made their way towards the Repair Station. As they approached, Rei’s eyes caught on a piece of machinery. “This looks like an old gas pump,” she remarked, pointing at the rusting machine.
“Gas pump?” Jasmine echoed. She saw sothing similar when they were driving around in the Humvee.
“It’s where you refuel vehicles,” Saya explained, tapping the dilapidated pump.
Saeko examined the rusted hose and nozzle, cobwebs hanging from its handle. “This place has seen better days. I doubt it’s working anymore,” she said, giving the pump a tentative push. It creaked but didn’t move, confirming her suspicion.
Yuriko glanced over at the Humvee and the bike parked nearby. “Fortunately, both our vehicles had full tanks when we set out,” she added.
“That's good to hear,” Jas replied.
Yuriko gave a slight smile. “We made sure to fill up both vehicles when you ca that morning,” she added.
Jas grinned and winked at her. “Thank you for thinking ahead.”
Yuriko chuckled softly, “Flirting with soone twice your age? Bold move, Jas.” she replied back.
Jas laughed, undeterred. “I thought you were Saya’s older sister,” he quipped.
Saya, rolling her eyes with a grin, cut in. “Let's stay on task here,” she said.
The group shared a lighthearted mont of laughter. “Okay, let’s get back to business,” Jas said, refocusing as he reached for the door to the Repair Station. Jas opened the door and walked in. In front of them was a counter which had so oil stains and cobwebs. The paint had gone and wood chippings could be seen.
Right in front of the counter was a large, narrow, wooden box with a colored beam emitting towards the sky.There were two glowing question marks imprinted on the lid of the box, side by side and with the right one being vertically reversed.
“We et again,” Jas comnted. He had a wide smile on his face as he started to walk towards the box.
“What is it?” Rei asked.
“It is called the Mystery Box, where you have a chance to get a weapon from it,” Jas answered.
“So it's like a slot machine but with guns,” Yuriko remarked. He thought Lois gave the sa response.
“Wow, that sounds exciting,” Jasmine said.
“It is where I got the gun for Saya from,” Jas added.
Saya held her Ray Gun closer to her chest and smiled. Yuriko smiled at her daughter`s cute action.
Jas looked around at his lovers and asked with a grin, “Anyone feeling lucky today?” he asked.
“I feel lucky just being by your side, Danna-sama.” Saeko replied.
Rei, standing close, nodded. “I’d say I’m pretty lucky too,” she replied.
“My luck turned for the better the day I t you, Jas,” Jasmine’s eyes softened as she added.
He chuckled, appreciating their words, and turned to Rei. “Alright then, Rei, why don’t you do it first. Next ti it’ll be Jasmine, then Saya, and then Saeko,” he responded.
“I did not want it,” Saya said, smiling at Jas.
Saeko’s eyes glead with enthusiasm. “Understood, Danna-sama,” she replied.
Jasmine bead, clearly pleased with the rotation idea. “Sounds good to ,” she said.
Rei approached the box and pulled the latch open. She opened the lid of the box with her hand.
Jas again thought that was strange, the box did not glow and the weapon appearing and randomly cycling through did not happen again. Rei reached into the box and pulled out a small device. It was a long tube object with a rectangle bottom. There was a button at the top.
“An EMP Grenade,” Jas said.
“A smaller version of the nuke we have faced which wiped out all our electronics,” Saya explained.
“We are going to need it,” Jas added.
“Is there anything else in the big box?” Jasmine asked.
Rei moved her hand around. “No, there is not,” Rei replied.
“Oh well,” Jas said. Jas thought this mystery box was a scam sotis.
He looked next to and saw the car door. “This is the second part we are going to need,” Jas said pointing to the car door.
“It looks like one we could have found on the streets,” Yuriko replied.
Saya and Rei nodded. “It is but not at the sa ti,” Jas responded, picking up the car door. “Let's go back there,” Jas added.
They all walked to the back and saw the bench. “Another bench,” Rei comnted.
Saya looked at the blueprint on the wall. “Looks like so sort of shield which you can put on the ground,” Saya observed.
“You said the other bench made that turbine which generated electricity so this shield must be special,” Yuriko added.
“It is,” Jas replied. He was not sure however since he was here might as well collect it.
“Saeko, could you put the cart here,” Jas requested.
“Yes, Danna-sama,” Saeko replied as she put the trolley cart down. Jas put the car door. All of a sudden there was a bright light. The girls looked away. There was the sound of crafting, sawing and then it all stopped. The light went away.
“That was bright,” Yuriko remarked.
“It is,” Saya agreed.
They saw the trolley car taped with a car shield. “So this is it,” Jasmine said.
Jas took the shield off the bench. It was surprisingly very light. “It's light,” Jas comnted. All of a sudden there was another bright light, the sounds of crafting back and another Zombie Shield was there.
“Let's take 4 of these,” Jas said. He added, “The Humvee is big but we are filling up the back very quickly.”
“Okay,” they all responded. Jas then repeated this process until they had 4 shields.
“That is all done,” Rei said.
“You are right, they are very light,” Jasmine said. “You can put them on our back like this,” Jasmine added as she put the handles on her shoulders like a backpack.
Jas thought, that was how they did. “One way to carry,” Saya said. “It feels like there is sothing else to these shields,” Saya added.
“There could be but let's move for now,” Jas responded.
“Could you all carry it back?” Jas asked. He added, “I will grab one thing.”
They all nodded. Rei, Saya, Yuriko and Jasmine each carried a shield. Jas walked to the garage. He could see a car being repaired. He looked to see a large cabinet. Jas jumped and grabbed the radio. He saw it was an old WW2 radio with several knobs at the front. “Perfect,” Jas remarked.
He walked outside the Repair shop and saw the girls had loaded the Zombie Shields onto the Humvee. Lois was on top placing them. Jas walked up to the girls.
“Got what I need,” Jas said as he presented the radio.
“A WW2 radio, are we going to talk to soone?” Saya asked.
“Not really, it will be used to find the frequency,” Jas replied.
“Well, are we all done here?” Lois asked.
“Almost, just one more thing and we are going to need the Turbine,” Jas replied.
