(Kyosei's View)

If the enemies are on the kill too, then that means I need to harvest the killers and defend my team against them. Although I am hesitant to leave my team with the two variants that I saw, the more pressing matter I needed to do is kill the bandits as they would not hesitate to kill us even if there is a variant.

They have started to shoot their guns but they are bad at it, allowing me to diverge myself away from them and kill one on the way.

Rinse and repeat, the enemies didn't even have the chance to remain standing as their necks were one by one slit by the Piyavka Machete.

In the end, they were all killed, leaving none of them alive. Once they were killed, I ready myself to face the variants to fight against them to take back the others but to my surprise, they were running away from them and went to meet with me.

"Sh*t Kyosei! What do we do?! The variants are here and I don't know what to do with them! Are we going to be killed at this rate?!" Izayoi trembled as he looked at the variants. When he saw them approaching, he trembled a lot more before hiding behind me.

"Oy! D-don't be a c-coward! L-look at me! I am p-perfectly fine!" Cindy said to him though she doesn't fair much better than Izayoi.

"F*CK! YOU ARE ALSO SHAKING! DAMN IT! HOW DOES THAT ALLOW ME TO FEEL BETTER!? YOU ARE EVEN STUTTERING IN FEAR!" Izayoi said in a loud voice perhaps to calm his nerves.

"S-shut up!" Cindy blushed in embarrassment.

The two variants approached us. The first one is the same female variant that we saw before but now, she was accompanied by a male variant that looks very much like the female variant like they were the gender-bent version of themselves.

"Don't be alarmed, humans. As long as the singularity does not view you two as enemies, we won't be treating you guys as enemies either."

"How can we trust you guys with your words? You two are infected, right? One of the undead?! We can't hope to best you all if you guys wanted to kill us!"

"Yes, you are correct that you guys won't stand a chance against us. To us, you are all insignificant beings, easy to kill, and have a fleeting lifespan. But rest assured, we are not the same as the infected beings you spoke of. We might have the same blood running in our veins, but we don't eat humans, in fact, we don't need to eat to survive,' the male variant explained.

The two then looked at me with a pleased look on their faces.

" Greetings, singularity, this must be the first time we are seeing each other. I am No.6 and this is No.7. We are both siblings. We are pleased to know that the singularity is alive and well. If our names are weird, we also come with our normal names, Roku and Nana."

"Roku is six in Japanese and Nana is seven. So they are indeed very intelligent!" Izayoi said like he was enlightened though he returned to a trembling fellow after realizing so.

I frowned at their actions and how friendly they are to us all of a sudden.

"What the hell are you two? Why do you keep calling me the singularity?"

"Forgive our rudeness, singularity, we are just minor characters that are just here because the singularity is also here. We are just here to help the singularity grow."

"What is your purpose here?!" Cindy asked as she steeled herself.

"We are here to accompany the singularity. As we said earlier, to help the singularity grow and m.a.t.u.r.e, we will be here to help him out," the male variant named Roku said.

"I don't think we can trust you two. First, you two are infected variants. Despite being infected variants, you two possess intelligence that is not present in the normal variants. Also, you two possess strong powers and since the two of you are intelligent, you two can plot of backstabbing us easily if you decided to backstab us while we are not looking."

The female variant smiled but she didn't say anything bad to me, instead, she nodded and looked at me straight into the eyes.

"As expected of the singularity, your eyes for scrutiny is as sharp as ever. No wonder you are the singularity."

"Also, can you stop calling me the singularity? Although I don't know what the f*ck does that means, I still don't think you need to call me like that like I am a special person like some savior or something. Just tell me what the hell is that for my convenience and whether I will allow the two of you to keep calling me the singularity."

"I am sorry, but we cannot divulge ourselves about this info as this was supposed to be for the Singularity to know and not for us to tell. We are just here to guide, not to spoil the info," the female variant said.

"So that means it was some sort of spoiler alert?" Izayoi looked at me with an odd look on his face.

While we are talking, the undead that heard of the ruckus that happened here started to gather around the place and it seems to be ready to attack once it gets near us.

"We need to go guys, the undead is about to gather here and if we don't get away from here as soon as possible, we will be arriving back to the base at night and it will be dangerous if we do so."

The two nodded but that doesn't mean the two decided to leave.

"If the singularity is leaving, we will also accompany you all back to where the Singularity lives. We also can't afford to stay here as the infected beings are also one of the troubles we have at the moment."

"Huh? The two of you are infected variants, you two should be fine against them right since they don't eat their living comrades," I said.

"I am sure that you noticed it since before but the undead are not picky eaters and will devour anything weak or stronger to be stronger themselves. The infected beings also can kill and eat us if they needed to do so," Roku said.

What Roku said is indeed a fact. Whenever they saw a dead body of their dead body on the ground, no matter whether it was infected or it was not formerly, they won't hesitate to devour and eat everyone it needs to eat. That behavior is very spot on during Night Rage where they will attack and try to eat the fallen ones.

Although I am hesitant to bring them, it might be a good idea to bring them since they are variants and if it helps with the research of looking for a cure for the Virus Galea, they might be one of the guys who might be able to help with this problem. Eve might also know something about them and I might be able to know what does the "singularity means."

"I still don't trust the two of you, go to the back of the car and protect us against the other dead infected if necessary."

"Understood!" The two nodded and went to the back of the car and sits down to it. I thought they would try to do something else but they seemed alright.

Before all the undead in the surroundings gather around us and sealing our route for the outside escapes, I start the engine and step on the gas pedal, allowing us to drive through the dead.

As we are traveling, my two companions seem to be unsettled with the presence of the two behind the car. Despite even not doing anything, the two are having a hard time looking for a way to avoid their nightmare with them.

"Kyosei...are you sure this is the right thing to do? To bring them back? They are all infected and bringing them into the base might cause destruction here and might cause several power trouble for us!" Izayoi said, worried at themselves since they seemed to be going to be caught in this incident.

"I will be keeping at the watch, don't worry about them too much. First, we need to deliver the console to Nanami. If we fail, we might need to give ourselves some ready remedy for the time being for our ears as I am sure things will be hellish again.

The appearance of the Variants might be new but I believe they are still the most dangerous guys here. We might need some sort of help for someone exceptional with the undead.
