Chapter 25
“Alright. Maybe we should go around and gather some information about this place”
In order to get the situation in here, we come up with the idea of having a small stroll to see the condition of this place.
It was so unusual for a city like this to be this quite, although, I can say that it really seems odd to assume that there is a problem but we are just being cautious.
“I thought we are going to go in separate ways, so why are you all here gathered up following me?”
Shaking my head, they soon went in different direction after the meeting place was settled.
Alright, what should I do next?
I thought to myself as I was just walking my feet in any direction it may lead me. Due to the level up that I had come up with, Navi's performance do excel his previous features.
“Navi, can you show me the path to any grocery stores?“
Smiling, this was the only place I wanted to go. Isn't it good to go collect supplies and all?
Being a broke person even in terms of harto currency leads me to this. Hah… I even wonder how long those foods would last. It is not as if I am blessed to have much harto with me.
[There is a grocery store right ahead. Continue to wall for 5 minutes and you will reach the destination, master]
He really is handy in times like this. Smiling proudly at myself, why didn't I remember it just now?
In terms of leveling up, there are certain spots that makes a monster resurrection. Those are the bugs in the game. The place where lots of monsters will appear. Making one level up much quicker since he will not need go around the place just to find monsters for ascending.
”I wonder where I can see those bugged place“
Mumbling, I halt as soon as I smell something that I do not want to smell.
”Blood….“
I gulp. Why is there a smell of blood here? And it was thick. I wonder what happened…
Monsters do bleed but there was a great difference in the smell of human blood and monster blood.
But this smell… it was so strong…
”A smell of the blood for both species…“
Why am I even running? I really don't get what myself wanted.
”I guess this wouldn't be a good situation. But if there are monsters nearby, I can kill them to make me level up even just for a bit“
That is what I planned to do. But… not all plans are meant to be used.
There are monsters in the place where I've got. The whole open area was a mess. I can even say that it was a scene you can see when there is a war. Ruined buildings, the structures and vehicles shattered into pieces, even the hind of a fire engulfing those places can be seen with the marks that was left.
I gulp again for I have no idea what happened to this place. Various of corpse are seen lying ahead of me. Some are human and most of them are monsters.
It was a real disaster.
”Kkrhh—“
With the use of my sacrificial sword, I stab the head of the monster who seems to be in his death bed. I am good enough to guide him to his death. But… why do I feel bad for some reason?
Seeing the dead bodies of those human, I can't help but pity them. Some are just a brats… maybe in the same age as Migo and the rest
”This was really a mess“
A weird presence came hitting me with it's gaze. Is it something behind me?
Slightly chuckling, I know that it isn't something great. And as soon as my gaze land on where that creature is, the horror of his body forming as he makes his body from a melted state…
Isn't he a weird monster?
A body that was white, a body of a child if I may say. His eyes was the complete opposite of his skin. Somehow.. He do give a vibes of a zombie— no, he is indeed a zombie.
I just remembered it… he is the albino zombie… right?
This is bad… this is bad… it was an enemy that I hated to face. He is a troublesome opponent! Why is he even here?!
Making a step back, I bump into a hand of a person. Wait, is she moving?
She seems to be inhaling and exhaling. That means that she is breathing… ah, so this person is still alive— she is still alive!
The albino zombie is not yet forming his body, I still have time to escape! But… this girl…
”Hah, you better be grateful for me being nosy and helping—g you“
I said behind me lifting her weight. She was hugging the kids in her harms but I can not possibly bring them together with me. Looking around, she is the only person I can see moving. No one else. It seems like, she is the only survivor.
With her in my arms, it is complicated to run faster.
”Wai!“
I shouted trying to buy something useful when I remembered that I have a skill I was trying to practice with. It was a manipulation of things.
Thinking of how it would be useful if I can use it in foods and easily store then floating towards my storage space, I bought it nearly emptying my harto. Only 50 hard to was left in my account, yes, as always, I am broke.
”Maybe this would be useful“
[Hewoo master, I am wai. How may I help you?]
”Ah sorry, you can go back now“
I mumbled awkwardly smiling which makes wai puff in the air.
”Manipulation of things… It says that it would depend on my hp and stamina. It is in good condition, both of my go and stamina are high as of this moment“
Looking back, I can now see how that albino zombie was walking slowly to our direction. I shiver in surprise as his neck started to be twisted.
Oh gore, does he even have a neck bone? He really do resembles a while owl at some point.
The girl in my arms is not that heavy but she is heavy. Strange… she have a warrior type clothes. Is she in an army?
Looking around I saw a talk building nearby. Maybe I can hide in that place. Time to—
There was a weird elevator thingy that is an open elevator. The surrounding is just made of thick metal wires.
Is it moving?…
Putting my hand up in the air, I tried to manipulate that thing but ended up in a failure. Just as I thought, it was way far out of my league.
But there are stuffs around which can make me create a ladder.
”This is fun“
I mumbled manipulating some suitable platforms that I can step into which would lead me to the building.
There, I succeed in creating a ladder. I need to hurry, be for that creature approaches me.
With great care, each steps I make feels so heavy since I am also controlling those platforms. I can't possibly make those rocks fall, or else, we two would also fall in the ground.
”Got it…“
I was so tired which leads to those rocks to fall right after I sat in the edges of this building. Lucky to have a features like this…
Not knowing how to get up, as soon as the albino zombie fall back in he ground, he had no idea how to go where we are.
I just remembered how I have carrying a lady in my arms. Wonder when will she be awake.. Should I buy her a recovery potion?
Dang dang
A loud banging sound was heard. It was from somewhere behind me. The metal barrier have three layers or walls separating where I was standing the the main inside of this place. There, I saw other human beings just like us.
So there are still other survivors… that was great.
That is what I thought but it soon changed as soon as I saw them aiming gun at us.
”Leave this place or we will shoot you“
