《System Of The Undead》


 Chapter 1: Prologue

    <h4>Chapter 1: Prologue</h4>


    Long ago, the enigmatic figure known as "God" was said to have fallen from the heavens, arriving on Earth in the form of a meteorite whose fragments scattered across the globe. Throughout the ages, countless endeavors were made to harness the power of "God," but none seeded until an extraordinary genius emerged.


    In the year 2030, humanity had made incredible strides in medicine and technology, with one man, Dr. Schneider, at the forefront of this evolution. Born of German heritage but raised in the United States, Dr. Schneider was no ordinary individual. As time passed, he developed an unsettling Godplex, convinced that he was a deity, attributing this to his ability to trigger humanity''s next evolutionary phase and wield the power of "God".


    The ambitious next step in his pursuit was immortality¡ªa project that was under "Project Alpha." The allure of eternal life enticed people from all walks of life, prompting swift funding for the endeavor, as everyone sought to secure their ce as recipients of this gift.


    Through the initial trials of Project Alpha, Dr. Schneider achieved what he considered a remarkable sess. He managed to revive a deceased mouse, and to his astonishment, the mouse disyed no negative effects, appearing docile and healthy.


    In Dr. Schneider''s mind, he stood on the cusp of a paradigm-shifting breakthrough, one that could reshape humanity''s future and potentially offer immortality to those who sought it. Little did anyone suspect the consequences of tampering with forces that goes directly against nature.


    The results were outstanding as the brain waves appeared perfectly normal.


    Dr. Schneider basked in his newfound status, receiving a Nobel Prize and gaining widespread recognition for his groundbreaking work. However, the time for human trials arrived, and the public''s unease became evident.


    Many were ufortable with the notion of one man meddling with nature, leading to public protests. Despite the dissent, most turned a blind eye, driven by the desire to push humanity further, understanding that sacrifices were often made for progress.


    Unsurprisingly, the chosen subject for the human trial was not an innocent citizen but rather a convicted serial killer, scheduled for execution that day. The thought of granting immortality to such a criminal troubled many, but they believed that immortality did not guarantee invulnerability.


    As the drug was administered, the initial response seemed promising, filling the room with excitement and celebration. Dr. Schneider, fueled by his own ego, reveled in the moment.


    However, the celebration was short-lived. Twenty-four hourster, the prisoner began convulsing violently, held in ce by others to prevent harm. Despite their efforts, his heart stopped, and he was pronounced dead on the spot.


    Annoyed but undeterred, Dr. Schneider was astonished when the prisoner''s eyes snapped back open,unching himself at a nearby doctor. Chaos erupted, bullets were fired, but the prisoner stood unfazed, his body seemingly impervious to the damage. Dr. Schneider''s face twisted into a smile as he found the situation fascinating. The prisoner was incapacitated by multiple gunshot wounds, but he was still "alive" but incapacitated, a peculiar phenomenon Dr. Schneider found intriguing.


    With an unwavering belief in his godlike status, Dr. Schneider approached histest creation, crouching to meet its eyes, and reaching out to touch it. In an unexpected twist, the creature lunged at him, initiating a struggle that ended with a fatal gunshot wound to the prisoner''s head.


    A concerned man inquired about Dr. Schneider''s well-being, but the doctor offered no response, leaving the room in silence. While others perceived the experiment as a failure, Dr. Schneider viewed it as a significant leap forward, demonstrating that immortality had been achieved. However, he now faced the challenge of addressing the troubling side effects.


    As Dr. Schneider pondered over the situation, he sensed that something crucial was amiss. His train of thought was interrupted when he felt a sudden, sharp pain in his arm. He rolled up his sleeves and discovered a tooth mark on his forearm, seemingly bitten during the struggle.


    Feeling the need for some fresh air, Dr. Schneider decided to step out of theb. Unbeknownst to him and everyone else, this seemingly innocent decision would prove to be the turning point leading to an impending tragedy.

    (A Few Weeks After That Incident)


    "FUCKING HELL! WHY WON''T HE FUCKING DIE!" A man wearing a gaming headset vented his frustration at theputer screen he was gaming on.


    The room he upied was a chaotic mess, scattered with dirty dishes and empty cans. It was evident from the stench that he hadn''t showered in quite some time.


    In the dimly lit room, only his crimson-red eyes stood out with the rest of his features concealed.


    "Seriously? you fucking suck, Jason..." A voice responded to the young man''s rant, revealing his name to be Jason. He had fashioned a unique VR headset by modifying an outdated and obsolete one, using materials he had scavenged. Unable to afford a new headset, he had improvised with what he could find.


    "You guys are fucking dickheads! How do we keep fucking getting killed by zombies!?" Jason cussed as they were sent back to the loading screen.


    He opened a bag of chips to devour, looking to his left for the opened coke can that had been there for close to an hour, meaning it now had a t taste.


    "We keep getting killed because you''re on our team..." Another voice said; Jason''s mouth was stuffed with food so he couldn''t verbally respond but he soon saw a notification on the lower part of his screen.


    Jason opened it with little to no hesitation, and a pop-up appeared.


    [Would You Like To Save The World? Y/N?]


    It read and this was one of the easiest decisions of Jason''s life, he pressed "Y" and the lights electricity in his house momentarily flickered.


    [Syncing....]


    Jason felt a sharp piercing pain coursing through his head, he thought the headset he had was malfunctioning, it might have been ruined by the flickering electricity or the fact he modified it himself with cheaperponents. Before he could remove it, the pain subsided.


    [Syncing Complete!]


    [Downloading User Interface...]


    [Downloading...40%]


    [Downloading...80%]


    [Downloading...99%]

    Jason sat in silence but what happened next was something that he did not expect, a pop-up right in front of his eyes, like it was a projection of some sort.

    SEE AUTHOR''S THOUGHTS!

 Chapter 2: My System!

    <h4>Chapter 2: My System!</h4>


    Jason lost his cool, removed his headset and backed away from the table, he was in a daze yet the system was still present.


    "What the actual fuck?" Jason cussed out, anyone would in his situation.


    Jason was a college dropout, he had no ambitions in life nor ns for the future.


    He just wanted to game and live the rest of his life in such a state, he was disowned by his parents but his older brother made sure he had enough to get by or death would most definitely creep up on him but this was what stopped him from growing up.


    The fact that someone was looking after him made him believe this was a sustainable lifestyle.


    Jason was either gaming or jerking off to porn, he was quite handsome and this was revealed when he backed away into the ray of sunlight piercing through his curtains


    Jason thought he was going insane and he knew he needed to regain hisposure because who believed him? Not like he had anyone to tell in the first ce.


    He lived a rtively normal life until high school, he was a looker and this made him the object of desire for girls.


    Jason, however, was socially awkward and didn''t know how to interact or converse so he withdrew and kept to himself, he remained a virgin because his awkwardness ruined the countless chances that came his way. He was the lord of fumbling at this point but he never worried about this. He had his porn to bust a nut when he needed to so that need to woo a woman was never present.


    "What the hell is happening?" Jason thought but then he saw the interface and was curious to see what it does, was he in a game?


    Jason was a gamer so he knew how to check his character details. He didn''t need to press anything, there was nothing to press.


    [Say "Status" To See Your Current Stats]


    The system instructed, it was linked to him so it knew everything that Jason was thinking even without him saying it.


    "Status" Jasonplied and a bar appeared.


    STATUS;


    Name: Jason Abbot


    State: Uninfected


    Age: 21


    Level: 1


    Job: Unemployed


    Specie: Human


    Stats;


    Speed: 1


    Strength: 2


    Agility/Dexterity: 1


    Constitution: 1


    Intelligence: 4


    Wisdom: 1


    Skill Level: 1


    Skills Unlocked: 0


    HP: 10


    MP: N/A


    Stamina: 70/100


    Avable stat point: 0


    Physical Condition: Normal


    Mental Condition: Normal


    Jason was taken aback by this but was rather offended by how ridiculous his physical attributes were, they wereughable at best but he was quite surprised about his intellect but that would be because of his gaming experience.


    Jason looked at the stats and he wondered what the other stats were but he had a general understanding as a gamer, he was surprised by the HP bar because there was no reason for it to exist in the first ce.


    All the games that Jason had yed were simr to this, even his busted headset could simultaneously but he had one question and that was how he developed.


    Did he auto-learn skills or did he have to learn them himself and the system just provides the manual?


    Once again, the system picked up on his uncertainty and would further rify his confusion.


    [The System Only Aids The yer And Does Not Influence Anything Nor Grant Anything That Isn''t Achievable By The yer Himself. All Skills Must Be Learned By The yer.]


    Jason had his answer, the system was here as a guide, he would ultimately have to work for everything else but what the hell was even going on?


    It spoke about a zombie outbreak but there was no news about that or was there?


    Jason waspletely disconnected from the outside world so he quickly got on hisputer, closing the game he was on to search the keyword, "Zombies" but there was nothing.


    Jason pped himself in the face because he couldn''t believe he thought there was an actual zombie apocalypse.


    He thought it was a dream but why wasn''t he waking up?


    [Alert: Search Found!]


    Hisputer pinged and Jason immediately arched forward to see what it was that was found, he clicked it and it redirected him to a video that was uploaded a few minutes ago, Jason was skeptical but there was nothing to lose.


    He was rarely on the inte except from gaming, he made it a habit to avoid the news or anything concerning the outside world except for games.


    The video began and the first thing he noticed was the location, it was just around the corner.


    Jason wasn''t convinced and the video began with a ck screen but there was a lot of screaming. Jason was confused as to what the purpose of such a video was until it cleared up. Whoever was holding the camera pointed it at what appeared to be a person charging towards them, they had blood in their mouth with entrails hanging between their teeth and then the camera shut off, it was a live stream that one of the watchers had recorded and re-uploaded.


    "Is this a clip from a movie?" Jason thought but he wished this was the case.


    Thements came to the rescue and the more he scrolled, the more videos he saw supporting the fact that this might be a zombie apocalypse.


    [The Zombie Apocalypse Has Begun! Good Luck Jason!]


    The system wished him and the moment it did, Jason heard screams right outside his door and the growling of the undead.


    "Well... Fuck," Jason cussed as he walked to his window to peek through the blinds; he saw people running, and cars zooming off into the distance but he wasn''t bothered because as long as no one knew he was here, he should be safe. At least until things cooled down because being out in the open was the fastest way to die.


    He had this muchmon sense and this was because Jason was calm, he was still convinced that this wouldn''t be any different from the game he has been ying.


    Jason was smart to wait it out because this was how he normally lived his life, indoors away from everyone else and zombies usually chased anyone that ran so if they were all running away from town, then the zombies should also follow them out of town.


    "Come on man! That''s too easy!" Jason eximed as he sat back, ready to hop back on his game but the electricity shut down at that very moment.


    "Fuck, I spoke too soon..." Jason muttered under his breath.

 Chapter 3: Trouble?

    <h4>Chapter 3: Trouble?</h4>


    Jason was left alone with his thoughts and his phone was not enough to keep himpany.


    Even Jason had a sense of urgency and knew he could not waste his battery, it had tost as long as possible even though he had no one to check up on.


    Jason realized it has been a while since he has jerked off, he couldn''t start running around with heavy balls now, could he?


    He unzipped his trousers and began jerking away, scrolling through his phone to view explicit pictures of pornstars.


    The stance he took made him look like aplete retard, Jason was quite tall, easily over 6ft but the lifestyle he lived was not fitting for someone of his looks nor stature.


    Before he could finish, however, a loud bang hit his door, and it kept going and going.


    Jason thought if he stayed quiet the person would go away but the bangs only got louder.


    "PLEASE HELP ME!" The voice pleaded from behind the day, Jason quickly put his dick away and zipped his trouser back up.


    He was irritated that someone thought it wise to interrupt him but he couldn''t me them.


    Jason walked to the door after telling the girl behind the door to shut the fuck up.


    The door swung open and thedy rushed in without an invite, Jason knew if she was bitten he would be fucked.


    "HEY!" Jason eximed as she brushed past him, this was rude considering she was a stranger even though he understood the urgency.


    "I-I''m so sorry! You are a real lifesaver!" Thedy responded but Jason raised a brow because he was about to tell her to get out; on second thought, she did have the physique of the girls he usually jerked off to.


    [Ding!]


    Jason saw the notification, a pop-up screen appeared and he wondered what it could be considering his mind was already swimming in the gutter.


    "For fuck''s sake..." Jason cussed as he whispered to himself and the details of the quest soon followed.


    [Side Quest Received!]


    [Check The Girl For Bite Marks!]


    The system alerted him.


    "Have you been bitten!?" Jason asked, he saw an opportunity and knew he had to take it.


    Zombies were created through bites in every media he has watched or games yed so it shouldn''t be any different in real life.


    "N-No! I swear!" The blonde-haired girl said, she wore a crop ck top that barely covered her cleavage but her underboob was visible due to how big her breasts were, her stomach was fit and her hips were quite curvaceous.


    "I need to check your body for bite marks or you cannot stay!" Jason warned. Jason had all the cards with him and knew if he yed it right. He could see a pair of titties.


    He could kill two birds with one stone and that was the n.


    The girl looked like she was panicking and this raised his suspicion, Jason knew if she was bitten she had to get the fuck out or he risked his life.


    "Hey... You were bitten, weren''t you?" Jason asked and was met with silence.


    The girl was not responding to him and instead, began to inch away from Jason.


    [Ding! Quest Received!]


    A notification popped up and a new mission was given.


    Jason''s jaw dropped the moment he saw what the system wanted him to do.


    [Quest: Kill The Girl!]


    Jason thought that this must be some sort of joke.


    He wasn''t going to kill a girl just because the voices in his head said so.


    That was how people got thrown into the asylum but one couldn''t me Jason for his skepticism considering he was yet to venture outside to see what exactly was going on.


    "A-Are you going to hurt me?" The girl asked, she noticed his eyes were wandering around her body and she knew what men coveted the most in such situations and that was sex.


    Jason looked at her, the perverse thoughts he had long left his mind the moment he saw the mission given to him but he wondered what would happen if he declined.


    What would be the penalty? There was always a penalty in games for failing missions.


    [Penalty: Your Stats Will Be ? For 48 Hours]


    Jason knew he would have difficulty surviving if his stats went down any further, it was already exponentially low as it was.


    Jason understood just what must be going through her mind, she looked frightened even though she came to him for help. The way his apartment looked gave her a bad first impression.


    Jason heaved a loud sigh before walking towards the door and opening it.


    "You need to leave or I''m afraid I might do something worse than what''s out there to you," Jason resigned himself to the penalty that was about to be incurred.


    He wasn''t a murderer and had no intention of bing one, he was ready to face the penalty because there was still the possibility that this could be some twisted game.


    The girl was hesitant but she ran outside, partially thankful that Jason didn''ty a hand on her.


    He shut the door behind her and weed his punishment.


    [Ding!]


    [Quest Completed!]


    [Ding!]


    [Reward: +10 XP!]


    "What?" Jason thought but he soon heard a shrieking screaming from outside, he peeked through his window and saw a zombie on top of thedy as her screams soon fell silent.


    Jason realized at that moment that he didn''t need to kill her directly, as long as the action he took led to her death then it counted as his kill.


    [Ding!]


    [Zombie Discovered!]


    [Type: Walker]


    [Level: 1]


    [Stats: Speed 5, Strength 5]


    [Threat Level: High]


    [Description: The reanimated corpse of a human being that has regained limited function and mobility, as well as developed an insatiable hunger for flesh. They are slow but this is not the case for their strength.]


    Jason moved back but he identally knocked over something in his house and his heart dropped. Jason realized at that moment that this was real life and his worst nightmare came through because he was not the only zombie around.


    [Ding!]


    [Quest Received!]


    [Quest: Kill The 2 Zombies!]


    The moment this was said, the window he was peeking from was broken through, the physical strength of the zombie was not to be underestimated, Jason knew there were two zombies but where was the other one? He didn''t need to ask further because the window in his kitchen broke as well making it impossible for him to escape without passing through them.


    "Fuck! This is fucking real!"

 Chapter 4: Jason鈥檚 First Trial!

    <h4>Chapter 4: Jason''s First Trial!</h4>


    The zombie apocalypse had begun and Jason found himself facing two zombies, the system deemed their threat level to be high but this was measured with his current stats.


    If his stats were to increase then the threat level of this specific type of zombie would reduce.


    Jason ran to his kitchen before the zombie could get in, he needed a weapon and what better weapon than a knife.


    Jason thought about running but thest thing he needed was for his stats to be affected, he grabbed the knife in the nick of time.


    However, one look at the zombie made him freeze in fear, the zombie was a lot more intimidating than he thought it would be. It was a pity that such a handsome man was reduced to this but the maggots crawling through the wound on his face made Jason want to throw up but he held it down. This man has been dead for some time.


    The lifeless eyes and the pale skin were a sight that could make an atheist find God.


    Jason was shaking, he couldn''t bring himself to do it because one mistake and that would be his fate. Thinking about it made him want to piss himself but he stayed strong.


    He gulped as the zombie began walking towards him, growling and the other one that had broken through in his sitting room also made its way into the kitchen.


    Jason''s house was nothing fancy, it was filled with things he only considered a necessity and nothing else out of the ordinary, this was his saving grace.


    He didn''t want to die and he held on to dear life to remain sane, Jason pulled down his fridge to block the path of the zombie that wasing from the sitting room but this also limited his options for an escape.


    Jason has never been good with conflict and it was safe to say he was a coward when push came to shove, to escape thepetitive real world, he secluded himself from it.


    He chose to live an unfilled life, a life that would be forgotten the moment he dies because he wouldn''t have made any useful impact.


    Jason was having a panic attack, his heart was beating and the air going through his lungs reduced significantly. His knees buckled and his vision became blurry.


    This was the worst possible oue and the zombie was within grabbing distance.


    "Is this how I fucking die!?" Jason couldn''t believe that he couldn''t even survive the first wave but he saw it fitting for a loser such as himself, he was no main character.


    He was the character that was used to set up the story and then forgotten.


    [Ding!]


    [Skill: Cool As A Cucumber Avable!]


    [Purchase For 10 EXP? Y/N?]


    Jason didn''t even know what this meant but it would all be useless if he died so he epted the condition. The moment he did, the panic ceased.


    "Wait, what?" Jason thought, he quickly checked his stats to see which stat he sacrificed and it was the stat he had gotten for killing the girl.


    He was calm and could think things through, he chuckled at how absurd this was, he knew zombies were killed when stabbed in the brain so this shouldn''t be any different.


    Jason grabbed his knife and lunged at the zombie but due to the distance, a tussle ensued.


    The zombie was strong for something that was in the process of rotting.


    The zombie managed to get on top of him and this was the worst possible scenario to be in as it tried to nick his neck with its teeth.


    The way it was seated on Jason made it hard for him to breathe, he had done the smart thing by separating them because there was no way that he could handle both of them simultaneously.


    Jason could not understand how freakishly strong this zombie was until now, his hands were around the zombie''s neck. He didn''t know how the infection spread so he didn''t want to risk it.


    Jason soon saw an opportunity, the zombie managed to break through his hold but missed his neck, jamming its teeth into the floor.


    Jason used this chance to stab the zombie right in the temple, making sure it prated his skull/ And just like every zombie since the history of time, this was enough to put it down.


    Jason pushed it off him and for some reason, he was feeling confident in killing the other zombie.


    Jason did not regret purchasing that skill because his mind was now clear, he instinctively knew what he needed to do to calm himself down.


    Is that what the system meant by he would be given the manual? Was his body knowing how to do it instinctively? Even though this skill was not difficult to learn, Jason was getting an understanding of how the system worked.


    Removing the bloodied knife from the zombie''s head, Jason stumbled towards the door with resolve. The zombie''s blood had stained his shirt, mixing in with the dried-up beverages that had spilt on his shirt.


    Jason powered through, managing to shift the fridge back and the door barely opened, the zombie wed its way, trying to squeeze itself inside the room.


    But this created the opening that Jason was looking for as the zombie could only fit half of its body through and luckily, its head was among the parts that got stuck.


    This made his next course of action a lot easier as he jammed the knife into the zombie once again, killing it.


    [Ding!]


    [Quest Completed!]


    [Reward: +20 EXP!]


    Jason slumped to the floor the moment everything was done, his house had beenpromised, and he could not stay here anymore but it did not mean he did not have time to pack what he thought he would need short-term.


    "I just fucking killed two zombies... Bring on the fucking horde!" Jason was hyped, screaming before quickly covering his mouth.


    "...After I leave, of course..." He whispered to himself.

 Chapter 5: Trouble In Apocalypse!

    <h4>Chapter 5: Trouble In Apocalypse!</h4>


    Jason was ready, he had multipleyers of clothes on with a backpack filled with food.


    The sun was blistering, Jason had to squint his eyes to see and the streets were deserted.


    He knew he needed more food, the shops were the first thing that was raided.


    Jason also knew he couldn''t be seen on the streets or that would be the easiest way to be spotted by these zombies.


    Jason was used to being alone so surviving the apocalypse alone didn''t scare him but he knew that he might need a strong group because his enemies wouldn''t just be zombies but humans as well.


    "Well, let''s begin!" Jason pped his face, trying to give himself a pep talk because he knew that he would need all the motivation needed.


    Jason heard a scream in the distance and his instinct wasn''t to go there and be a hero but dart in the other direction.


    He was surprised that the system didn''t interfere but he saw a young girl running in his direction. Jason didn''t even wait for her to get close before he took to his heels.


    He ran like it was a fucking tiger chasing him and he didn''t look back, there was no shame in retreat.


    Jason outran the girl, leaving her in the dust but he remembered then that zombies couldn''t run and there was nothing even chasing the girl now that he thought about it.


    Jason didn''t run for long before he exhausted his stamina, his stamina was not very impressive.


    He was breathing like a dog that just chased a ball, but his breathing became steadier as heposed himself.


    "Who was that? I wonder what she was running from.." Jason thought to himself but before even a minute passed, he saw the girle into view.


    Her stamina wasn''t impressive, it was just Jason''s stamina that was shitty.


    Jason couldn''t believe she had caught up and hid around the corner so she couldn''t see him.


    He didn''t know what twisted thing whatever this system was would make him do.


    Thest thing he wanted to do was hurt a girl but he didn''t need to worry about all that because he was out of view already.


    Jason was surprised, however, when the girl came to meet him around the corner.


    "What? How did you see me!?" Jason asked but the girl looked confused.


    "If you could see me, what made you think I couldn''t see you? Sight works both ways you know, dipshit!" The girl responded bluntly, she was breathing heavily.


    She too was out of breath but this meant that Jason had the stamina of a sixteen-year-old girl.


    "You do have a point," Jason said defeated, but now she had entered his sphere.


    Jason just knew that she would be better not having met him because now, she was indirectly in danger but the system was once again quiet.


    "My sister needs help, she is stuck..." The girl said. Jason noticed she was clothed rather heavily, wearing a sweater and long trousers.


    "But seeing you, I don''t even know if you have the strength to help her." The girl said as she turned around to walk away but Jason took this as an insult to his masculinity.


    Not that he had any but he wanted to reinvent himself, he needed to exert himself as strong because strength was the only thing that mattered in this new world.


    Jason called her back, he couldn''t let a child disrespect him and decided to follow her because they might need his help.


    It took less than twenty minutes to get back there, and the house was still in pristine condition.


    Jason was content camping here for a bit, he realized that these people might have had the same idea as him.


    The girl entered the house and Jason followed behind her, but the moment he stepped a foot in the door, he felt a hard blow to the side of his head.


    Jason stumbled onto the floor, his vision was blurry and he could feel the bag on his back being pulled off him. He tried to fight but it was in vain.


    "Y-You fucking bit-!..." Jason muttered before losing consciousness.


    He woke up to himself being tied up, and two girls rummaging through his bag.


    "Fuck me, I forgot the first rule of the apocalypse is to trust no one!" Jason thought to himself, he partly hoped that the sister that was stuck would be some fit hottie.


    Jason knew this new world would cut off his ess to porn so he wanted as much mental image as he could get forter use.


    Jason was stunned by how beautiful the girl before him was, she had a tattoo on the side of her neck but it was a word in a differentnguage, Mandarin to be exact.


    Jason noticed that the younger girl that was heavily clothed moments ago wasn''t.


    What he saw sort of horrified him because the kid''s body was riddled with scars and they didn''t look self-inflicted either.


    Jason''s eyes softened the moment he saw this but he didn''t want them to know he was awake just yet because something told him thesedies had no interest in killing him.


    They just wanted what he had which was understandable, this was a world where survival of the fittest was and they used their strength to their advantage.


    Jason knew if he saw the scars he would have been on guard hence why she covered it.


    "Hurry up! We need to get rid of him before he wakes up!" The younger girl said and Jason had the most random idea.


    "AAAARRRGGGHHH!" Jason screamed out of the blue and started shaking like a madman, and the girls jolted back in turn and Jason startedughing because their reaction was a lot funnier than he thought. Jason had escaped the rope, whoever tied it did so terribly.


    The older girl reached for a hammer and Jason immediately raised his hands to show that he meant no harm but before things could escte.


    They all heard the voices of men outside and this put all of them on guard.


    [Ding!]


    [Quest Received!]


    [Protect The Girls!]


    This instinctively allowed Jason to know whatever was behind that door was a threat and it was up to him to make sure nothing happens to them.

 Chapter 6: A Breach!

    <h4>Chapter 6: A Breach!</h4>


    Jason was d that the system was on his side for once, he didn''t want any harm toe to these girls because he knew how vile men could be.


    No rules were keeping their primal instincts in check so they were free to run wild as they pleased. Jason didn''t know the history of these girls but he knew it took bravery to do what they did. They could have easily run into a far more dangerous man than him.


    The girls looked panicked, even though they knew they were in trouble but there was nothing they could do right now.


    "Fuck! He wasn''t alone! I told you to only bring people that were alone, Lillian!" The older sister cussed out in a whisper but this was where they were mistaken.


    "I did, Rachel!" Lillian responded in a hushed tone.


    Rachel had the hammer raised, pointed in his direction in case he made any sudden move.


    She looked at him and threatened to kill him if he made a sound, this was nonverbal because it was his voice that got them here in the first ce.


    He had no idea who these people were but he had a limited amount of time to help the girls.


    He needed to get them to safety. Jason put his finger on his lips to shush them before gesturing for them to hide.


    He didn''t say a single word because he couldn''t risk being heard, this would be bad.


    The girls were skeptical but this was their best choice right now.


    If they were with him then Jason had no reason to go through this length for them, he could easily call out to them but Rachel also noticed the worry in his eyes.


    Those weren''t the eyes of someone that wanted to do them harm and Jason also felt responsible because it was his voice that might have alerted them.


    The girls decided to put their faith in this stranger but they feared he would not be enough to protect him. All they needed him to do was for Jason to dy them so they could slip away.


    The girls had to be smart, theycked the same physical strength as men so they had to use their brains. And they were the most in danger in this apocalypse as he knew what would happen if a dangerous man caught ady in these times.


    They hid under the bed and the moment that Jason was sure that they were hidden, he could hear the voices getting closer and closer.


    "A FUCKING APOCALYPSE AND I''M ALL FUCKING ALONE!" Jason shouted, he knew that they were going toe here either way so changing the narrative was all he could do at this time.


    It didn''t take long before the door was broken through, the fact that they didn''t even bother knocking showed their hostile intentions.


    Jason looked right at the man that barged in, he was a pale-skinned man with a cleanly shaven head and a face tattoo. Jason wasn''t judgemental but he knew that a face tattoo was only done by certain people.


    "Hey boys, I think we found ourselves an easy picking!" The man barked and behind him came three more men. Jason was frightened, even with his passive skill active.


    He was calm but the way his heart was beating felt like it would fly out of his chest at any moment. Jason didn''t need to be told that these were real thugs and he knew they would hurt anyone without batting an eye.


    "I thought I was thest person on earth!" Jason blurted out randomly and the men were quite shocked by this behaviour but it didn''t matter, Jason felt a sharp pain in his jaw that sent him tumbling to the ground.


    The man that had walked into the room punched Jason and the rest of them scattered to search the house for valuable stuff but Jason knew their search would be limited seeing as they weren''t looking for a person.


    Jason was dizzy and he wondered if he could take this man on if they fought and it was fortunate that he could check this.


    "I could take this fucker! I''m certain!" Jason thought to himself despite having no fighting experience, Jason was feeling unnecessarily confident.


    "Show me the stats of this man..." Jason muttered to himself and the system did just that.

    "You know what? Scratch that," Jason quickly backed down but he knew he needed to create a sense of urgency because he didn''t know what the men at the back might find.


    Jason clenched his teeth and charged at the man to try and tackle him.


    Despite the difference in size, Jason didn''t have the strength to tackle him.


    He dropped his body making it difficult for Jason to lift him, the man nted a firm elbow in the back of his neck and Jason buckled once more.


    Jason knew he couldn''t beat him physically but he could drive fear into his heart.


    Jason bit into his ankle and the man proceeded to kick him square in the face.


    "You fucking twat!" The man cussed out but Jason just startedughing with his mouth bloodied.


    "What is so fucking funny!?" The man asked, he was furious as his tone carried that message soundly.


    "I''m infected, you are going to turn!" Jason said and the angry look on the man''s face turned to fear. On the verge of death will a man reveal his true character.


    Jason knew that this was a risky y because nothing was stopping the man from killing him but he made a huge gamble.


    "YOU LITTLE FUCKING SHIT!" The man cussed out and pulled out a gun.


    Before Jason could say another word, a gunshot echoed.

 Chapter 7: Jason鈥檚 Sacrifice

    <h4>Chapter 7: Jason''s Sacrifice</h4>


    The gunshot went off with a bang and the bullet pierced right through Jason''s shoulder. Jason let out a shrieking scream that echoed through the room.


    This was more than enough to get the attention of the other men with him, they rushed into the room because they knew for him to use a gun then something serious must have happened.


    "Hey! Don''t fucking shoot or those fucking undead freaks will hear us!" One of the men warned.


    "Shut the fuck up and pack up what you can!" The man that shot Jason responded.


    "There is a safe zone at the border, we need to head there. Leave this little fucker for zombies!" The other man responded and this sense of urgency prompted them to pack up what they could in a hurry and leave.


    They knew the zombies would soon swarm the area and that would make it difficult for them to move about.


    Jason was left alone, squirming on the floor in his pool of blood, the blood soaked into his clothes and the sisters that were hiding came out.


    They saw the state Jason was in and knew he was as good as dead, he would be a liability.


    Rachel kissed her teeth as she grabbed what was left and headed to the door but her younger sister stood in ce.


    "Come on Lillian! Let''s go!" Rachel blurted but her sister was unresponsive.


    "We can''t leave him... He saved us," Lillian muttered.


    She walked to Jason who was in pain, Jason was regretting his decision toe here but something told him if he didn''t then it would have been these men she ran into so he didn''t regret his choice.


    "LILLIAN! WE DON''T HAVE TIME FOR THIS!" Rachel barked but Lillian wasn''t listening as she crouched over Jason and applied pressure to his wound.


    "Help him, sister.... Please," Liin''s voice cracked. Rachel stood there for a second or two before kissing her teeth and walking towards Jason as well.


    She asked her sister for space as she crouched over him to check the severity of the wound.


    "It was a clean exit so that''s a good thing," Rachel said as she snapped her finger and Lillian instinctively knew what to do, she ran to the room to bring a strange bag that had first aid treatment. Luckily, the men didn''t find this but that was because it was in this bag.


    No one would think to search such a ridiculous-looking bag and this allowed them to hide it in in view.


    Rachel looked irritated as she fixed up his wound, applying some antibiotics before covering up his wounds with a bandage to prevent any form of infection.


    This was a good thing but Jason was not able to keep up with them.


    "Y-You can leave me, I will be fine," Jason muttered and the moment he did, Lillian pressed his bandaged wound to which he screamed before sping his lips shut.


    "Stop trying to be tough, dickhead," Lillian cussed out.


    "W-Who hurt you, kid!" Jason fired back and the look on Lillian''s face changed as she became conscious of her body, covering up.


    Jason sat up, his face was bruised too as he knew he shouldn''t have said that because he didn''t know these people even though this was an innocent expression.


    "I''m sorry, I didn''t mean to..." Jason apologized but Lillian had already worn her sweater.


    "You have done enough," Rachel responded and her eyes shot him daggers.


    [Ding!]


    [Quest Completed!]


    [Reward: 40 EXP!]


    "I almost died and you give me just 40 EXP!?" Jason thought to himself but he also remembered how he traded EXP for a skill that saved his life.


    He knew that this was the currency for those skills so he was happy to be getting them nheless.


    "We need to leave, the zombies will soon swarm the area," Jason suggested and Rachel agreed with him. Jason got a closer look at her, she was quite average looking but her green eyes gave her this goddess-like aura.


    Jason was surprised that he could talk to them so easily considering he was not a social person to begin with.


    Lillian returned and Jason felt guilty because he triggered an insecurity with his earlier statement. Jason tried to stand up but his knees gave way and his limp body dropped to the ground.


    "..." Y-You can leave me, I will be fine"," Lillian repeated what Jason said earlier, clearly mocking him with Rachel chuckling. Jason was suffering from a concussion.


    The force of the blow caused more damage than he thought but this meant that they had no choice but to spend the night here until Jason recovered fully.


    That would be in twenty-four hours so there was no other choice. Jason hated that he was being taken care of but everyone was responsible for their current situation.


    Lillian was the reason he was being taken care of because Rachel was ready to abandon him in a heartbeat.


    Time went by and the sisters kept watch, they allowed Jason to rest and Jason noticed how much the sisters cared for each other as they constantly checked in with one another.


    He also wondered where their parents were, they couldn''t be orphans, could they?


    Jason knew it wasn''t in his ce to ask questions so he let it be for now.


    Jason''s pocket pinged but who could be texting him?


    He brought up his phone and it was a voice message from his older brother, this was a bit of a surprise considering they weren''t even talking.


    All his older brother did was send him money monthly and that was all.


    Jason appreciated it but he never verbally told him thank you, it was now when he saw his brother reaching out amidst this chaos that he realized just how important this man was in his life.


    Jason yed the voice note and he didn''t even realize when the tears started streaming down his cheeks but the voice note wasn''t his brother checking up on him.


    It was a farewell message that ended in his screams, his brother died on that voice note.

 Chapter 8: The Night Passes!

    <h4>Chapter 8: The Night Passes!</h4>


    Night fell and Lillian was sleeping. Rachel and Jason were up, keeping watch.


    Rachel noticed his tears earlier that day and she knew that look all too well.


    Jason had lost someone important to him and she understood what he was going through right now.


    Rachel sat beside him, neither saying a word to the other because they knew that loss was the one thing constant in life.


    "Are you alright?" Rachel broke the silence and Jason quickly picked himself up, she was far too close and he could peak at the top of her cleavage, her breasts were quite big to be fair so it was hard to miss.


    Jason, however, could not get it up even if he wanted to because he was rather sad.


    "I am okay," Jason responded awkwardly, he looked panicked and Rachel kept quiet.


    All she did was put her hand on his back, this was her way of telling him that she was there for him whenever he needed to talk.


    She hasn''t seen Lillian react the way she did for years, Lillian has always been a recluse with a phobia for people so seeing her going out of her way to help Jason.


    Rachel saw this as an opportunity to get back the little sister that she had lost due to trauma and that in turn made Jason important to her.


    Jason didn''t know when he began to cry, the tears just started pouring and neither said a word to one another, it was met with silence but the silence wasforting.


    The sun rose and Rachel passed the night, sleeping on Jason''s shoulder but Jason couldn''t catch a wink.


    He stayed up all night despite being the one that needed it the most but his paranoia wouldn''t allow him to sleep; he managed to get some when both Lillian and Rachel woke up.


    Rachel didn''t look embarrassed from sleeping on his shoulder which surprised Jason because if the tables were turned, he would certainly be ashamed of this.


    "Dipshit! Wake up! We are leaving!" This foul mouth, it had to be Lillian.


    Jason''s eyes opened and noticed that both had changed clothes, Lillian wore a ck long-sleeve shirt with baggy trousers.


    Jason noticed her freckles, she looked rather innocent but appearances were deceptive.


    She had lived quite the life judging from her scars and one doesn''t get scars like that and survive without being forced to assume a role that wasn''t fit for their age and that meant, growing up.


    Rachel, on the other hand, wore a crop top of a different colour. She liked showing off her body and who could me her, she was fit as fuck but it also made it easier to move in.


    Less clothes meant there was less for zombies or people to grab, it was a smart move when looked at in hindsight. Jason noticed her blue denim short shorts, Jason was surprised that a white girl could have an ass that big.


    "Hello to you too..." Jason greeted Lillian. They had already packed and before Jason could even get to his feet, a bag collided with his face.


    Rachel had thrown it, Jason was a third wheel and they expected him to be useful at least, even if it meant just carrying the bags.


    The good thing about Jason''s physique was that he had an intimidating presence and this would make people think twice before attacking them.


    He was like a buffer for violence but this was a man that even she could knock out so there was nothing to write home about his strength.


    "You could have at least handed it to me!" Jason barked but Rachel wasn''t even paying attention as she gestured for Jaosn toe to her.


    They both went into a different part of thepartment and Jason wondered if she wanted to apologize but she grabbed him by the hair and yanked him towards her.


    The pain shot through his body but what brought about this sudden bout of violence?


    "If you fucking touch me or my sister, I will make your life a fucking nightmare!" Rachel threatened him and Jason could tell with a look that she meant every word that came out of her mouth.


    He understood her need to protect her family. Jason knew women were the most vulnerable because the default gender roles that nature and centuries of archaic thinking had cultivated were now a part of life.


    "I-I will never do something to you two! You saved my life!" Jason said and Rachel let go of his hair before adjusting her clothes.


    "After we robbed you and you saved ours..." Rachel sighed. Jason might be a good person at heart but he was still a human being.


    Humans couldn''t be trusted, Rachel and her younger sister learned this the hard way.


    Rachel was approximately twenty-five-years old, four years older than Jason but her youthful appearance made her look like she was approximately the same age as Jason.


    Jason heard her message loud and clear but it wasn''t up to him.


    Jason hoped that the system wouldn''t do anything crazy that would make him harm them but it was kind of strange calling it "system"


    Jason was realizing how ridiculous it sounded at the moment.


    Rachel walked out of the room but not before telling Jason to better follow right behind her.


    She was quite well-manneredpared to her younger sister and Jason was surprised Rachel didn''t put her in ce.


    They hadn''t even introduced themselves yet but Jason heard them speak to one another so he didn''t need a formal introduction but he needed to tell them his name.


    "System, what is your name?" Jason whispered under his breath, he didn''t need to but it was a force of habit and made interacting a lot easier.


    [You May Call Me Chronos!]


    The system responded and Jason was satisfied with this as he followed behind Rachel because she just demonstrated that she wasn''t afraid of putting her hands on people.


    Jason knew that his journey had begun and it involved these twodies.

 Chapter 9: New Zombie Encountered!

    <h4>Chapter 9: New Zombie Encountered!</h4>


    They were off, they left the building and unfortunately for them, there was no car in working condition around so they could not use it to run.


    Jason walked behind Rachel, he admired the work of God which was her ass and this was the silver lining to such a harsh reality.


    He noticed Rachel was going in a specific direction like she knew where she was going, and Lillian followed with full determination. Jason didn''t have a choice and decided to follow them even though he could split right now with no consequences.


    The bag was a bit heavy, Jason strapped it on both his shoulders to support the weight evenly but he was a bit worried that he was the only one left without a weapon.


    "Where are we going?" Jason asked but he got no response from Rachel, Lillian instead took it upon herself to exin.


    "You must have been living under a boulder not to know... We have refugee centres designated in case of emergencies and that is where we''re headed," Lillian said.


    Jason found this a bit absurd because that would be the worse ce to be as if the virus breaks out there, then fatality rate would increase by a whopping 70%.


    That was a risk that Jason wasn''t ready to take because he had too much to lose and that was his life. He hoped his parents had bitten the dust, he hated them with a resolve that would make even the devil smile.


    "H-Help me!" A girl called out, she had tattered clothes and blood smeared on her body.


    Jason looked horrified because it looked like she just escaped an attack but Lilian and Rachel didn''t share this worry.


    Jason watched Rachel give her younger sister a knowing look as Lillian ced her hand at her back in preparation, Jason kept quiet because he didn''t know what was happening.


    He wanted to see what kind of girls he was escorting and Rachel whispered to Jason.


    "Be on guard, she is not alone!" This warning put him on edge.


    He recalled that Lillian used a simr tactic on him.


    Jason waited for Chronos to say something but nothing came, the system was quiet and this told Jason he could make this decision himself without Chronos interfering.


    Jason began to wonder what made Chronos act, why didn''t he react to every situation and only a select few?


    Jason had all the time in the world to figure it out, he just needed to survive and that was his priority. Jason could see faint movements behind the girl and realized that Rachel was right.


    The moment this girl reached proximity, she must have realized that her strategy wasn''t going to work so she backed away slowly.


    The look on her face changed and out came one other person with an axe.


    Jason knew there was no way in hell that he could fight someone proficient in weapon handling.


    He wanted them to run because that would be the logical choice yet Rachel and Lillian weren''t moving. They were looking right at them intending to fight.


    "What the fuck are you two doing!? Let''s go!" Jason cautioned but his words fell on deaf ears, the sisters weren''t paying him any attention.


    Then the growling began, this was the only thing that made the sisters reconsider fighting and out came multiple zombies.


    It wasn''t just one or two, it easily numbered up to ten but these zombies looked like they were dead a tad bit longer than the ones that Jason saw earlier.


    Jason watched the sisters back away from the girl but Jason saw why everyone was so panicked. They just found out the virus doesn''t just affect people otherwise, why was there a K9 dog with a huge hole in its torso among these zombies?


    [Ding!]


    [New Zombie Detected!]


    [Type: Animal Zombie]


    [Stats: Speed: 10, Strength: 10, Intelligence: 5]


    [Threat: Extremely High]


    [Description: Animal Zombies are nonhuman victims of the zombie virus, appearing in many forms based on their species.]


    Jason was astonished by these stats and he knew if the speed was this high then there was no way that they could outrun the dog and Jason knew that this was the dog being slow.


    But he wondered why he could easily react to the earlier zombies despite them having higher stats, he should have been outpaced and overpowered easily or was this the glitch?


    He wanted answers and Chronos was about to give him those answers.


    [Ding!]


    [Please View The Below Stats Range For rification!]


    [1-3: Comfortable Reaction At All Distances.]


    [4: At Close Range: You Can Only Block. Mid Range- Comfortable Reaction.]


    [5: At Close-Mid Range: You Can Only Block. Long Range- Comfortable Reaction.]


    [6: Close Range: Impossible To React. Mid-Long Range: Block Only.]


    [7: Short-Mid Range: Impossible To React. Long Range: Partial Block.]


    [8+: Impossible To React At All Distances.]


    Jason now understood why he could not dodge the zombie when it was close but could somehow hold his own in terms of strength despite losing that battle due to his wrist tensing up.


    It had nothing to do with his strength but rather his stiff body but Jason wanted to know one more thing and that was how the ranges were determined.


    [Ding!]


    [Close-Range: 1-5 Meters. Mid-Range: 6-10 Meters. Long-Range: 11-15 Meter.]


    "Don''t move!" Jason whispered to the girls because this dog was not one that could see or it would have charged at them the moment it was within proximity and the fact that the girl that had backed away from them served as a barricade between them and the zombies was somewhat refreshing because it would have to go through her to get to them.


    And their saving grace happened, the leaves rustled as the man with the axe was nowhere to be seen. He ran and the dog gave chase. Jason was surprised that it was that fast despite not running at full speed but the moment it faded into the bushes.


    They ran in the opposite direction with the much slower zombies giving chase but they weren''t a threat in terms of movement so it was easy to outrun them.


    Whatever it was, they had managed to escape but Jason knew that the zombies that they would face in the future would be far more difficult than he thought.

 Chapter 10: A New Addition?

    <h4>Chapter 10: A New Addition?</h4>


    They all heaved a sigh of relief but the woman that had tried to set them up moments ago followed them, banging on the door as she pleaded for them to let her in.


    The sisters kept quiet because they knew thisdy tried to set her up but they couldn''t me her.


    It was everyone for themselves right now and they had to put each other first but if she kept banging the way she did, it might attract nearby zombies.


    The ss doors were hard and couldn''t be broken easily but it could be broken.


    Jason knew he had to act and walked towards the transparent ss door, he looked at the girl and she immediately stopped hitting it and pleaded with Jason.


    She begged and begged, this sight didn''t move Jason because thisdy had no problem putting herself first but he understood that she might not have had any other choices.


    Jason looked at Rachel and she was shaking her head in protest because she knew what he wanted to do.


    "Everyone deserves a second chance," Jason muttered and he could see a smile creep up on Liin''s face briefly before it disappeared just as quickly.


    Jason walked to the door and slid it open, it was hard to do because the electricity had been cut off but there was a manual feature that he used to open it.


    The moment thedy entered, she hugged Jason, showing her gratitude.


    Jason felt her soft breasts pressing against his chest and he wondered how she could smuggle something so soft inside her clothes.


    She had a muscr frame so he expected everything on her to be hard but he could see little to nothing under her short-sleeved shirt that was loose as well.


    She was approximately 5'' 6 with ck eyes and hair with a sharp jawline. She had an average-looking face but that was to be expected as the world had gone to shit. People''s appearance was thest thing that took priority; before Jason could fully melt into the experience.


    Rachel stood up with a hammer in hand and thedy, sensing the impending danger, removed her arms from Jason.


    "What are you doing?" Jason asked Rachel in a panicked voice, he didn''t have any control of the current situation.


    "Move aside, we cannot let her stay here," Rachel said bluntly but Lillian once again opposed her older sister.


    "Rachel, stop..." Lillian said and the moment she did, Rachel lowered her hammer.


    Jason realized that Lillian was the only person she listened to.


    "I didn''t mean to do it! I had no choice! I''m sure you too will do anything to survive!" Thedy protested and Jason could see the irony because that was how they met but he also understood her worry.


    "Just stay out of my sight and we will be good!" Rachel barked and this was a condition that thedy epted without hesitation because it beats walking around.


    The fact that whatever was happening affected animals as well made the situation ten times worse as birds would not be exempted from this and other animals that roam the earth.


    Thedy gave Jason a nod before heading to the opposite side of the store but not before taking some snacks that were left behind to feast on.


    They didn''t know what they were waiting for but they knew that they couldn''t be out in the open now until they had a solid n.


    Jason followed her because he needed to keep an eye on her as he was the one that let her in so it was his responsibility.


    Jason''s eyes focused on her as she sat on the floor and Jason sat some short distance away from her.


    "What is your name?" Thedy asked and this surprised Jason, this was the first time anyone was asking him about his name since the apocalypse began.


    "I''m Jason..." Jason responded awkwardly and thedy smiled when she heard this.


    "I''m Anabe but you can call me Be," Be responded and Jason nodded.


    An awkward silence followed up, Be wanted to explore the store because they hadn''t even swept it for any potential threats.


    "We should sweep the area, don''t you think Jason?" Be asked and Jason nodded in agreement with her.


    Be got up on her feet and Jason followed suit, he knew he had to be on guard because this woman was built like a tank. There was no doubt that her punch would pack enough power to knock him the fuck out if it connected properly.


    Jason followed after her as they entered apartment of the store, this would otherwise be the storage room.


    It was pitch ck and there was no power but luckily, Jason had his phone toe to the rescue. He opted to use the torch feature and this lit up his path.


    Be stood and looked at Jason, men usually go in first but Jason wasn''t having any of that macho shit because he only had one life.


    And Be was built more like a man than he was but he only knew she was muscr because of her arms.


    Be kissed her teeth as she entered first with Jason trailing behind her despite having the light they needed but there was nothing that was in sight.


    Jason knew that he looked like a threat and if they were going to target anyone first, it would be him hence why he was cautious. It wasn''t because he was scared that he let her go in first, it was simply because he didn''t trust her.


    There was nothing and Jason wondered if they had a backup generator, stores usually did in the event of a power outage.


    "It''s so freaking dark in here!" Be muttered but Jason had eyes, she was stating what he already knew. He ced his phone on a tall metal construct so it could illuminate the room.


    They found water, and the look of excitement on their faces told them all they needed to know.


    Be didn''t realize when she carried arge jug of water and poured the water on herself.


    But Jason noticed something, she wasn''t wearing any bra and the water made everything beneath her shirt transparent.


    "Well, damn..." Jason thought to himself as he realized her chest was a lot bigger than he thought.

 Chapter 11: A Heated Moment?

    <h4>Chapter 11: A Heated Moment?</h4>


    Be realized where Jason''s eyes were fixed on, it was focused on her breasts.


    Men were simple creatures, they all couldn''t resist the appeal of a woman.


    Jason, being a virgin and his only source of control was taken away as thework had all but vanished. He couldn''t call anyone or browse.


    "Do you like what you see?" Be asked. Jason gulped, nervous to even utter a response.


    Be found a way to win over Jason and it was the oldest trick in the book.


    He was tall and not average looking so she was surprised that something so simple worked on him because he seemed like the kind of person that could have any girl he wanted.


    This might have been true if he honed his social skill but he didn''t.


    Jason quickly averted his gaze but this was all Be needed for her next move.


    She began to walk slowly towards Jason, who was walking backwards with every step she took forward. Jason was nervous, he had never been in such a situation before so he didn''t know how to handle it. Jason thought such things only happened in porn.


    He eventually hit the wall, his back was literally up against one so he couldn''t take any more step back.


    Be was close to him, Jason could feel his heart pounding despite having his passive skill active but he found himself curious as to how being inside a woman would feel.


    Jason wanted and needed to know. Be grabbed his hands and ced them on her breasts.


    "You can squeeze them if you want," Be said, Jason, could only imagine how she would look like without her top on.


    And the squeeze happened but with it, came a big bulge in his pants because who wouldn''t be aroused by such a situation?


    "They are so soft..." Jason muttered to himself as he kept squeezing them rather aggressively.


    Be''s hand slid down the crotch, her hand running up and down his erection.


    Jason didn''t know what to do but he knew he would cum at any moment.


    He had no sexual experience so the stimtion was new to him.


    "Do not cum... Unless you don''t want it in my mouth. I''m rather hungry," Be said and Jason was surprised at how easy this was. He hadn''t even spoken to her for more than thirty minutes and her hand was on his cock.


    "What the hell is taking you two so long!?" Rachel''s voice echoed as both Jason and Be quickly adjusted themselves to look decent.


    "W-We found water!" Jason eximed as Jason tried his best to hide his erection and that was taking the phone off where he kept it.


    This way he could manipte where the light pointed, Be rolled her eyes because this wasn''t her initial intention. She didn''t mind it going further but Rachel had to ruin her fun.


    "Water!?" Rachel eximed, the water had shut off so nothing wasing out of the taps hence this was valuable.


    "Lillian! Get the bottles!" Rachel shouted at her sister before entering the storage room.


    She noticed Be''s top was soaked and somewhat transparent. Rachel instinctively had an idea of what was going on but she didn''t care about what they did as long as it didn''t endanger her or her sister.


    "Do not waste water..." Rachel warned her but there was no way they could consume all this before leaving unless they wanted to settle in here.


    This was frankly the best ce to set up camp because they had food and water.


    However, they needed to leave but they had time.


    "I was excited, I''m sorry. It won''t happen again," Be apologized.


    Jason knew better than to get involved in women''s business so he kept quiet.


    Lillian rushed in with the bottles and they immediately moved to fill them.


    "I understand your excitement but this water wouldn''t only save us. It will save those thate after us if the people that came before us acted as you did. We wouldn''t have any water..." Rachel said; she gave a reason for her scolding. Rachel was the oldest here and it showed by how her mind worked followed by Be, who was twenty-three.


    They left the storage room and back to the mainpartment, they had snacks and food.


    They all ate together, Rachel decided not to iste Be because of what she had seen.


    Be might be a lot more cunning than she anticipated and leaving her alone with Jason wouldn''t be wise.


    If Jason sided with Be. Rachel knew she and her sister would be in danger.


    But they ate to their heart''s content, and they needed to rest it up, another day was drawing to a close as evening crept up on them.


    "The zombies...." Jason started the conversation.


    "What about them?" Rachel responded; Rachel carried herself like she was the one leading them and Jason was fine with this because it was too much responsibility.


    "They don''t respond to sight, they rely entirely on sound so if we''re quiet then maybe we can move undetected..." Jason said but Be seemed to disagree with this.


    "That isn''t true..." Be said and Jason was curious about what she had to say.


    "The zombies respond to smell as well, they can differentiate the living from the dead through smell," Be added her two cents and this information could prove to be a lifesaver.


    "Smell?" Jason asked.


    "Yes, that was how they killed my mother," Be said and the familiar silence that followed was one that everyone knew too well. They knew what tragedy was but this gave Jason an idea.


    He knew that they needed to trust one another and what better way to bond than to share about their past? What their lives were before this shit show started.


    He knew how to get them to open up, he needed to start it off by sharing something personal.


    "I''m Jason, twenty-one years old. I''m a college dropout and the literal definition of a loser. I was disowned and have been feeding off my brother''s money to survive. I don''t have any deep-seated trauma but I do have anxiety and asional panic attacks," Jasonid it bare, it took a lot of guts to be this self-aware. But things didn''t go as nned as all thedies did was chuckle at his absurdity, they had no intention of sharing personal details of themselves with strangers and found it foolish that Jason was so trusting,

 Chapter 12: Let Us Through!

    <h4>Chapter 12: Let Us Through!</h4>


    "Let us through please!" People begged the men in uniform that had set up a barricade.


    They were begging to be let in but their cries fell on deaf ears for good reason.


    The military didn''t know who was infected and who wasn''t so they had to be careful.


    They could not start checking everyone for bites either so to protect themselves, they didn''t let anyone in, at least not for now.


    The military was strict and they were heavily armed showing that they were ready for whatever threaty beyond their defence,


    The citizens were anxious but there was nothing they could do against guns and trained killers.


    These men had trained to kill people so it would be nothing short of delusional to think that they had a chance.


    They couldn''t overrun them either because no one was willing to risk their lives.


    They pleaded in hushed whispers because they knew that noise would draw the zombies towards them so it would be them digging their own graves.


    A sniper was mounted on the barricade, he had a silencer that allowed him to snipe the zombies that neared the citizens, they wereing in at a slow rate with no more than two at a time so it was rtively easy.


    This was the only thing keeping these citizens from acting violently. Despite them not being allowed inside, they weren''t neglected by the military.


    But not everyone had this patience and a scream soon echoed. This was thest thing anyone need and that was noise but this man didn''t care about any of that, unfortunately.


    "FUCK THIS! I CAN''T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" A man screamed and everyone immediately darted their head in his direction as if to tell him to shut up but he had reached his breaking point.


    "LET ME FUCKING IN OR I WILL JUMP OVER THE WALL!" The man screamed at the top of his lungs, his eyes looked dted and his lips dry.


    The military didn''t utter a word, they just watched on as he made a fool out of himself.


    They knew if zombies came, it wouldn''t put them in danger because the makeshift base they had set up was more than sufficient to protect them against this threat.


    "Hey man, we get it. Shut it!" Another man said, he had a softer appearance than the man ranting but this only made him get louder.


    He had to be quiet or else his actions didn''t just affect him but everyone currently present here.


    The man that warned him to keep quiet had to confront him directly and a fight broke out between the two. They began throwing punches, pushing, and shoving each other, it intensified with each passing second.


    No one tried to separate them because they knew if they did, they might get caught up in the punches but things escted.


    The man that had warned him smacked him a little too hard, this sent him crashing head-first into a car, killing him in the process.


    Everywhere fell silent because this man had just been murdered in front of a military camp.


    They expected a bullet to fly through his head but it never came, the military men watching didn''t look concerned by what had happened.


    This told people one thing and that was, they were free to do anything they wanted without interference from these military men but there was also the possibility that they understood this was an ident.


    This single assumption is what kept the order but people were beginning to wonder what the purpose of the men was.


    "Well, fuck me..." The man muttered; he was trembling because this was the first time he had taken a life. Even though it was an ident, it was still murder.


    Everyone backed away from him slowly, their eyes full of judgment but they would all soon have a lot more to worry about as the man that had most certainly died from the impact.


    Grabbing the leg of the man that had killed him and biting into his ankles, the man screamed in pain as he stomped the head of the zombie to break free.


    He took a couple of steps back, limping but before he could do much, a bullet was on its way to his head; it hit an unsuspecting individual instead as everyone had dispersed, running around chaotically.


    This made it impossible for the sniper tond a shot without hitting innocent people, this was something that they couldn''t afford because they were still military men that considered the safety of citizens.


    They were not to use force unless they had to but this allowed the chaos to worsen.


    The zombie had bitten multiple people in a short timeframe and the uniformed men couldn''t keep track of those bitten and those that went.


    The people charged towards the barricade, they had no choice but to try and bring down the wall and this was when the men in uniform opened fire.


    Bullets riddled through the crowd, killing the opposing iing citizens as they realized at that moment that these men were not here to protect but to keep them out.


    They didn''t know how the virus spread and they had strict instructions not to let anyone through but they soon found out something that they didn''t even realize would be possible.


    The people that he had just killed, came back to life soon after and joined the zombie.


    The military at that moment realized that they might have escted the situation by opening fire. They shot the people trying to scale the wall and the bullets inadvertently hit a few more behind those who were running for their lives increasing the killing range exponentially.


    "Kill them all," A man in a mask instructed before walking away from the wall as the gunfire continued. This man was known simply as X.


    The infection was once thought to spread through bites but were all these people bitten?


    That was impossible because the host died within twenty-four hours of the infection.


    They didn''t live longer and these people have been here longer than twenty-four hours so what the hell was going on?


    The battle raged on, humans vs zombies.

 Chapter 13: Nesting Zone!

    <h4>Chapter 13: Nesting Zone!</h4>


    Jason and the gang were back on the move with theirtest addition, Be.


    Rachel was the designated leader for now and that was only because Jason was lost, he didn''t know what to do or where to go so it was best to follow Rachel because of the way she carried herself.


    "That is strange..." Rachel muttered under her breath as they got closer to their destination, the ce was a lot emptier than she thought it would be despite the multiple cars tightly parked around. This made it impossible for cars to get through and people had to squeeze through it.


    Jason gestured for them to stay in ce before climbing the hood of the car to scout the area for potential threats but in the far distance, he saw the military barricade that had been set up.


    Jason was ovee with a sigh of relief, he was d that they were getting somewhere.


    "I see it! There is an outpost of some sort!" Jason eximed before looking at Rachel, everything she had said so far was true and this made Jason happy.


    "Why is there nobody here?" Be asked the all-important question.


    "My thoughts exactly," Rachel responded with a stern look on her face.


    Lillian was quiet, she looked exhausted and one couldn''t me her.


    They have been walking for quite some time now and Jason noticed this, it was to be expected because she had a much smaller body so what she could do was severely limited.


    Jason rummaged through the bag and handed a bottle of water but advised her to take only small sips or she would be even more exhausted.


    "Thank you, Jason," Lillian said as she heeded his advice, Rachel watched her little sister say words she hasn''t heard in quite a long time.


    She didn''t know what it was about Jason but he just connected with Lillian and she didn''t like this as no one knew the kind of man he was.


    Rachel was ady who if good things happen to her in quick session, naturally expects things to take a turn for the worse.


    This was the curse of pessimism and Rachel was afflicted by it.


    They advanced at a slow but steady pace however this wouldn''t go smoothly.


    Rachel noticed the trail of blood on the floor and instructed everyone to halt, they all did as shemanded as her head darted around to survey the environment for potential threats.


    But ahead, they saw corpses, people that the bullet did find their heads.


    "W-What happened here?" Jason asked a general question but he got no answer.


    "Look at them... I don''t think all of them turned..." Be said as they all took cover behind a car.


    They knew what happened but didn''t want to say it and rather chose to bite their tongue.


    "Stay back! I will go ahead first," Jason said and Rachel knew someone had to and she would rather it be Jason than any of them, even though she wouldn''t have minded Be going instead.


    "B-Be careful Jason," Lillian muttered and this was upsetting to her sister because she realized that Lillian was slowly bing attached to Jason.


    This would make it harder to ditch him should the timee but Jason wasn''t making it easy either because he carried himself in a certain way.


    "Aw, she cares..." Jason responded and Lillian giggled in response.


    The women noticed this rapport and knew it would be good for Lillian to have someone that grounded her.


    Jason was off and he moved with an agility that he shouldn''t otherwise have.


    Jason didn''t know if it was the people beyond that barricade that was responsible for this or maybe the undead had managed to find their way here but why didn''t they turn?


    That could be because the brain was destroyed before they could turn but it could also be because of a thousand different reasons.


    Jason was not leaving anything off the table and entertained every possibility, he expected to be gunned down if it was the men beyond the wall but he noticed that there was no one in sight. Jason was cautious but there were no zombies nor warning from the people beyond the barricade.


    Jason stopped right in front of the gate and he saw no one; Jason noticed that the gate had been breached but how was that possible?


    How could it have been breached if it was the fucking military? There was no way that these zombies were stronger than the military so this made Jason uneasy as if they did overpower the military then what hopes did they have as civilians,


    Jason gestured for them toe over, the way was clear and the girls walked towards him. They were at a huge disadvantage because they had no weapons but they could worry about thatter.


    Thedies reached Jason and once again, Jason offered to go in first, he took a step into the breached barricade first.


    His heart was thumping, he would have lost his shit if not for the skill that he unlocked, this was the only thing keeping him sane.


    [Ding!]


    [Nesting Zone Located!]


    This was the only thing the system said and Jason didn''t need to ask any questions as he soon understood what was happening.


    Jason looked around and saw more than a dozen zombies but they were all standing still like they were in aatose state.


    Jason knew any noise would be equivalent to suicide, he quickly jerked his head back and told thedies behind him to keep quiet by cing a finger above his lips to hush them.


    A light soon blinded him, it was aser of some sort, Jason followed it with his eyes and he saw somebody in the far distance. The light pointed to a path on his left and Jason realized that this person was trying to help them.


    Rachel, Lillian, and Be soon entered the barricade because they knew that there was no going back. After all, the zombies that they had misseding here suddenly appeared from their nks except these weren''t stationary.


    Jason gulped because he has seen this so many times in games, someone was bound to make a mistake and Jason was going to make sure that someone wasn''t him.

 Chapter 14: Eye Of The Storm!

    <h4>Chapter 14: Eye Of The Storm!</h4>


    Jason followed the light alongside the people following behind him, they were scared but there was a problem. Jason looked back to see that not everyone was following him.


    Lillian was frozen in ce, she couldn''t move, she was frozen in ce and here was the problem. The fact that they couldn''t make a single sound told them that there was only so much they could do.


    Jason had already moved a couple of steps so it was hard to turn back now, but Rachel was there with her sister.


    He knew that there was no way that she would leave Lillian and this was good.


    Rachel grabbed her sister''s hand and looked her right in the eyes, she took a deep breath and took a step forward. She was showing Lillian how easy it was but Lillian wasn''t buying it.


    Rachel was scared because she knew she couldn''t leave her sister and she also knew she wouldn''t want to leave herself if anything did happen to Lillian.


    Be was the closest to them but she had no intentions of going back and continued to advance towards the building that theser pointed at.


    Jason couldn''t me her, she didn''t know them well enough to risk her life as she walked past him expecting Jason to follow behind her.


    Jason, however, began to walk back slowly, this was a big risk because things could go south real quick but this was one thing he had to do because he wouldn''t be able to live with himself if something happened to them. Jason was a shut-in but this didn''t mean he was cold-hearted.


    Rachel was surprised by this act, Lillian was sweating profusely and this was bad because ording to Be, the zombies reacted to smell as well.


    Jason didn''t know what kind of smell but he understood that human sweat could potentially be a trigger and he wasn''t about to risk it.


    Jason walked right in front of her and the first thing he did was gesture for Rachel to leave her hand as he crouched down to her height, Lillian was incredibly smallpared to Jason''s size.


    He looked her right in the eyes and smiled, Jason had a gorgeous smile but this didn''t matter in the face of fear.


    The zombies were a good distance away, Jason was surprised that she was so scared because she handled herself well in their earlier encounter but that was different from here.


    "Zombies, am I right?" Jason said in a hushed tone and Lillian looked even more scared as she darted her head in the opposite direction to see if the zombies had heard him.


    "You see? Just follow my lead and you will be fine... I swear it or are you a chicken..." Jason said, pausing momentarily.


    "...Dipshit." Jason was teasing her and this seemed to do the trick.


    Lillian controlled her breathing before moving her feet forward, Rachel realized that Jason connected with her in a way she couldn''t but she was growing increasingly worried because it was ufortable that someone had this much influence over her sister.


    The sisters followed after Jason and they made it into the building with little to no difficulty but the building was deste, there was no one anywhere.


    There was no military presence either even though there were bullet shells scattered across the ground.


    Be was waiting for them there but she wasn''t idle, she made sure the ce was in pristine condition before they came as this would make her going forward eptable somewhat.


    She had sealed the windows, blocking it and found something to block the door with the moment they entered. She could have easily locked them outside but she didn''t and that said something.


    Rachel didn''t take this personally because she understood where Be wasing from but she did appreciate the fact that Be didn''t lock them out even though that would have been the best possible choice.


    "What next?" Rachel asked as Lillian heaved a loud sigh of relief as she looked up at Jason but he wasn''t paying her any attention. Jason was worried about why someone was helping them, there must be an ulterior motive for someone to render help to a bunch of strangers.


    And the bullet casings showed that there was a battle here, but why weren''t there any infected?


    Jason wanted to explore more of the building, but he felt a slight nudge.


    "T-The walls..." Lillian muttered and Jason looked in the direction of where Lillian pointed.


    "THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!" A message was written in blood right on the wall, and they soon heard growling in the other rooms.


    But these growling got closer and closer, Jason knew trusting a stranger was stupid and he was about to regret it as a zombie soon appeared.


    It was dressed in military protective gear showing that this was a former soldier. Jason knew he could not harm the head because it had on a full helmet.


    The helmet was to protect from bullets and ironically, it was going to protect the zombie from blunt force trauma.


    "Give me the hammer and stand behind me!" Jason instructed them, he was slowly assuming the role of protector. Rachel had no problems doing as hemanded because it was him putting his life in danger.


    They all remained quiet, the zombie(s) must have heard them talk earlier as they mistook this building for a safe zone. Jason wanted to know what a nesting zone was and Chronos had no problems telling him.


    [Ding]


    [Nesting Zone: A Nesting Zone Is Where Zombies Gather, This Is The Genesis Of A Horde!]


    Chronos informed Jason, prompting the young man to gulp as the zombie came into the room with five more following soon after.


    Jason knew what hordes were capable of, they could run down an entire vige as it just proved that even the military wasn''t enough.


    "Can I even survive this?" Jason thought to himself and Chronos took it upon itself to answer.


    [Ding!]


    [Survival Possibility: 70%]


    "Well, that''s a fucking relief..." Jason muttered as the zombies swarmed in.

 Chapter 15: The Leak!

    <h4>Chapter 15: The Leak!</h4>


    Jason gulped and Rachel knew he couldn''t handle them alone but she didn''t want Lillian to be caught up in this mess and if they made any noise, they would attract the horde outside.


    That will most definitely seal their fate.


    Jason liked that Chronos gave him a certain freedom to exercise his own will because if the system interfered with every decision, he would lose his mind.


    The zombies'' stats were the same as the first ones he encountered so he had an idea of how to deal with them. Jason remembered what Chronos told him about ranges.


    The zombies weren''t only focused on him but those behind Jason as well.


    Rachel appeared beside Jason, she nned to fight with him but she instructed Be to watch over her sister. Be was buff so she was physically strong, Rachel couldn''t think of a better person to watch her younger sister.


    Rachel and Jason braced themselves but the zombies soon hit the ground, head splitting apart.


    Before Jason couldprehend what was going on, he saw two people in uniform emerging behind the dropped body.


    Jason didn''t drop his guard, just because they saved them didn''t mean that they were friendlies.


    "We made it in time, are you all okay?" A feminine voice echoed behind the helmet wrapped around her head, this made it hard to identify her gender going only by her voice.


    The second person with them still had his gun raised and this put Jason on guard but no one could me the military officer because they didn''t know if they were infected.


    Thedy took off her helmet to put them at ease, she wanted to let them know that she wasn''t a threat and this was just protocol.


    "Hey Sam, lower your gun," She instructed her partner and heplied with little to no resistance.


    "I''m Clementine, and I will not harm you. We just want to check if you are infected, that is all..." Clementine reassured them.


    She was light-skinned with perky lips, curly hair, and light blue eyes. Jason was fascinated that someone with such a gentle appearance was in the military.


    He always thought the military had rough appearances but this was just a stereotype.


    She smiled, trying her best to make them lower their guard but they weren''t having it.


    "She is asking you nicely, don''t make me use force," Sam said, his voice deep and dense.


    "None of us are infected!" Jason eximed and Clementine trusted his word for now.


    They could easily be put down if they were infected as the zombies had problems getting through all that gear to begin with.


    Jason was first to strip, he moved his clothes around to expose various parts of his body and there was nothing there.


    The girls did the same as they followed Jason''s lead because whoever these people were, they were the ones that saved them from impending death.


    "Phew!" Clementine was relieved as she gestured for them to follow her but she was surprised that zombies were still in the building as they had done a sweep before upying it.


    This meant that there was somewhere they were yet to check out.


    Clementine guided them somewhere more secure, she was impressed that they held their nerves amid the swarm outside.


    It took little over five minutes for them to arrive where they met two more people in military attire.


    The man known as X was there with one another, and the sniper that mounted the wall previously was the one that directed them away from the open space and into the building.


    "We have returned General," Clementine said with Sam, who was positioned behind them, following in after them.


    This man looked frightening, he had a scar right across his face, and one of his eyes looked like it had lost its colour meaning he.


    as blind in it.


    "The zombie apocalypse, who would have fucking thought, eh?" X said.


    Jason gulped, he didn''t want to y the role of protector but his stature made him stand out as anyone that saw him would assume he was a threat.


    "Our camp was overrun, unfortunately, there is only so much manpower one can use against so many zombies..." General X was surprisingly talkative despite his stern face.


    "General, what is the n?" The sniper asked as he watched what was going on outside.


    "We have to find a way out but we''re surrounded. I haven''t felt this hopeless, not even when I served in Afghanistan..." General X muttered.


    "It is strange, they are not moving at all. What are they waiting for?" The sniper asked, he hasn''t seen such behavior since the apocalypse started,


    The zombies always seemed to be walking about aimlessly but they never stopped like they were resting, this was a first.


    "Are they evolving?" Clementine asked but this was highly unlikely because they were dead, there was no possible way they could evolve when their body was deteriorating.


    "No..." Jason muttered, drawing everyone''s attention towards himself.


    "This is not some random zombie behaviour, it is a horde. The zombies are forming a horde," Jason rified and this made sense but they wanted to know how he knew this.


    Before they could verbally ask, however, Jason gave them their answer.


    "I y a lot of video games," Jason said and everyone was shocked that he used a game for the basis of his analysis and looked quite disappointed, everyone but General X.


    "A horde..." X repeated after Jason but if this was the case, they couldn''t wait here until the formation of this horde wasplete. They had to move out.


    "General, we encountered multiple zombies in the building..." Sam informed him.


    "Zombies in the building? Didn''t you sweep the lower floor, Clementine?" X asked to which thedy nodded.


    "That is worrying. We cannot stay here if zombies have a way in... Clementine, go down there and confirm that the area is clear," X said and Clementine nodded.


    Sam thought he was going to go with her but Jason found himself catching a pistol with a silencer on it.


    "Big guy, you go with her. You y a lot of games so I take it, you know how to handle a gun?" X asked and Jason nodded even though he never handled one in person.


    He looked hesitant but Rachel gave him a reassuring nod, telling him that they would be alright.


    Jason left them in X''s care and followed Clementine to investigate where the zombies wereing from.

 Chapter 16: Survive Jason!

    <h4>Chapter 16: Survive Jason!</h4>


    Jason and Clementine advance. She instructed the bigger man to keep quiet because they didn''t know how many zombies were in the building and couldn''t risk unnecessary noises or it might draw the ones outside, inside.


    That would be a death sentence and that was the one thing that they had to avoid at all cost.


    "Follow behind me and be quiet," Clementine said as they stopped at the entrance of a door that led to the basement. Clementine raised a hand before clenching it into a fist tomand Jason to be quiet even though Jason had no idea what this was.


    She had an AK-47 but the rounds were silent like the rest of their guns, they were running out of resources and this meant ammunition.


    She took a deep breath as she held a shlight closely in her other hand, ready to advance.


    The door knob twisted and she moved inside with Jason walking behind her with his pistol in hand. This was an M18 pistol and Jason was partly frightened.


    He hoped they wouldn''t run into any problems.


    The room was deste and it stunk, it took everything in Jason not to puke but Clementine didn''t look like she was affected by any of this.


    This was to be expected as she was in the military and thus, had experience with even worse stench.


    The floor was damp, it was almost flooded, and there was a busted pipe somewhere for the water to reach such levels, it was reaching her ankles.


    "Something definitely died here but I don''t see anything..." Clementine said as she moved her light around the room to inspect it.


    "That is good, isn''t it?" Jason asked rhetorically and just then, she noticed another door that led to a different room. It was to the far right and Clementine took the lead.


    Seeing as she was in the military, Jason couldn''t think of a better person to follow.


    She quickly tiptoed in its direction before swinging it open and her shlight pointed at something so heinous that it couldn''t even be called a zombie.


    It had mutated into something so grotesque, the nose and eyes were reced with scar tissue but the mouth of this zombie looked a lot wider than the rest.


    It didn''t even respond to their presence despite their noise, it didn''t move or is it more urate to say that it couldn''t move? The legs had merged with the ground.


    "Is this it?" Clementine asked. This couldn''t be it because the door was shut but it also showed that Clementine''s sweeping had leaks, she wasn''t as thorough as she thought.


    [Ding!]


    [Quest Received!]


    Jason''s heart skipped a beat because this wasn''t the time for such a thing, he needed to focus and Chronos popping up now could be nothing but bad news.


    [Survive The Horde!]


    "Wait, what?" Jason was confused because that''s what they were doing but the zombie opened its mouth wide just then and a shrieking cry reverberated. It was so loud that they both had to cover their ears


    They were both disorientated as they dropped to their knees, this was only because they were within proximity of the zombie.


    Clementine managed to let off her gun but the silencer had unknowinglye off, shooting it multiple times in the body and into the zombie''s deformed head, killing it.


    There was no way that the other zombies didn''t hear this.


    "FUCK!" Clementine cussed as she ran outside of the storage room past Jason, who followed behind her like a puppy.


    "FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!" Clementine kept cussing, running to the window to check if the zombies had heard the gunshot and just like she expected, the zombies did.


    The zombies in the building that she had missed were already in her position, limiting what she could do.


    The zombies outside began walking towards the building, the building was surrounded so escaping was out of the question.


    Clementine knew this was the worst-case scenario but she wasn''t going to go down with a fight as she began firing away at the zombies without suppressors, it was futile using it seeing as the zombies were already converging at their location.


    Jason took a deep breath, If he had a system, it had to have other functions that could help him survive this mess that he found himself in.


    He just had to learn how to use it and Chronos heeded the subconscious call of his owner.


    [Ding!]


    [Options Avable!]


    This was the first time Jason was seeing this particr set ofmands so naturally, he was curious to see just what these options were and if they would increase the probability of his survival.


    [Option A: Abandon Clementine!]


    [Option B: Stand With Clementine!]


    The thought of abandoning the woman only crossed Jason''s mind when the option was listed, he never thought about it otherwise but it was a good option.


    Jason''s eyes dimmed, and his demeanor changed as he took a step back.


    Jason looked over his shoulder and realized he had a clear path. If he left Clementine then he should be able to get back there without any problems but he also understood that leaving her to die here would reduce the firepower that they alreadycked.


    The horde wasing and they were caught right in the middle of it so they needed all the help they could get.


    Clementine''s gun jammed and in the process of trying to fix it up, she stumbled onto the floor and this left her wide open to the zombies. The zombie was about to grab her but bullets pierced the zombie''s body multiple times before it eventually hit the head.


    The fact that he could shoot the zombie was impressive but that was because the pistol had little recoil.


    Clementine managed to fix her gun up in time and fire away, killing the remaining zombies in sight. The sses and doors shattered in the distance as both Clementine and Jason fled.

 Chapter 17: Fight-Or-Flight?

    <h4>Chapter 17: Fight-Or-Flight?</h4>


    "What was that?" General X questioned, he heard the gunshot as it echoed throughout the building and a series of gunshots soon followed.


    This put everyone on guard and even the sniper that was watching what was happening outside noticed the zombies were pouring in.


    He knew that there was no way the doors would hold with that many zombies pushing against them.


    He also knew that it wouldn''t make any difference to waste bullets, it wouldn''t dent their numbers.


    "IT WAS A GUNSHOT!" Be freaked out because she knew what this meant, she wanted to rush to the door to find her way out but she was halted by Sam who grabbed her forearm.


    Be tried to wrestle her way from his grasp but even with her build, this proved to be impossible.


    "We cannot go outside when we don''t even know what is going on!" Sam cautioned her.


    Lillian embraced her older sister because she feared the worse.


    Rachel was scared too but she had to put on a brave face; the military men didn''t share this fear as they simply armed themselves to the teeth with what was left.


    They nned on going out fighting if they were going to die as they gave thedies pistols to defend themselves should they need it.


    "Remember, thest one standing puts a bullet in each of our heads," General X said in a calm tone and the tone of his voice showed the battles he has won in his life.


    "Ladies, lock yourself in here and pray to whatever God you serve..." Sam said, heaving a frustrated sigh.


    He couldn''t me their current misfortune on thedies because it was Clementine that didn''t sweep the building properly.


    X led the way as the door was slowly opened but there were no zombies in sight showing that they were yet to reach this far even though the building would soon be swarmed.


    They could have slipped out during the zombies''atose state but they remained because they understood that if they could provide useful information to their other bases then they might stand a chance to survive this.


    They were willing to sacrifice themselves if it meant saving humanity, they wanted to study the zombies'' behaviour because they hadn''t seen anything like this up until now.


    -


    The men moved in formation, X took the lead as he led the younger men into the hallway, they walked fast but quietly, he didn''t want to make any noise that they didn''t need to.


    "Where is Clementine?" Sam asked but he got no response because no one knew if she was even still alive, they had to focus on their survival first.


    X was a true veteran, the way he moved was that of a warrior but the other two behind him didn''t move that way showing that they didn''t have the same experience.


    The first set of zombies appeared and precise shots to the head eliminated them before they could even take a step towards them.


    "Move..." Xmanded as they advanced. If they encountered zombies first before Clementine, that meant that wherever she was, if she was even still alive, the zombies had somehow nked her. Closing off her return path meant that they were stranded somewhere.


    X was killing the zombies with precision, killing the zombies with Sam and the other person saving their ammunition. X knew it might be best to spread out to cover more ground but he knew that this would all be nought if Clementine was dead.


    A zombie lunged from one of the corridors behind them, it managed to grab the sniper from the back but due to its position.


    It not only made it impossible for the men to shoot the zombie but it also made it hard for the sniper to defend himself against the zombie,


    It had grabbed his neck and the protective gear made his body heavier so he was wrestled to the ground. Before X knew it, more zombies poured out from the section.


    "Go on ahead!" Xmanded Sam as he took out a dagger to engage in hand-to-handbat.


    The first zombie tried to grab X but this was a piece of cake for the military man as he sidestepped the zombie while simultaneously decapitating it with a single strike.


    "You have no idea how many men I have killed but never would I have realized that I would be killing the dead!" X joked as his big gun was not ideal to use in closebat, he knew he had to rescue the sniper but thest thing that Sam saw was their position being swarmed right before obeying his General''s order.


    -


    In a dark room, space was tight and two bodies were pressed up against one another.


    Clementine and Jason had taken cover after they found out that the zombies had made their way around them.


    They hid here but something told them that they wouldn''t being out anytime soon.


    If the zombies heard any noise, there was no telling what they would do.


    Jason''s heart was beating but Clementine remained calm, she wasn''t frightened one bit even though Jason could tell by her heartbeat that something was making her nervous.


    "Are you alright?" Jason whispered and Clementine nodded but this only made her heart race even more.


    "We need to get out of here," Clementine muttered.


    "Is it possible for the zombies tomunicate?" Clementine asked because she felt uneasy, she suspected that it was the zombie down there that called the rest and not her gunshot but Jason knew if it was a new type of zombie then his system would have alerted him of this threat.


    "I don''t think so..." Jason responded but this didn''t ease Clementine''s worry.


    "They are being drawn here... They have beening here for hours..." Clementine whispered.


    "What do you mean?" Jason wasn''t following what she was saying or trying to suggest.


    "The zombies... Theymunicate!"

 Chapter 18: Sam

    <h4>Chapter 18: Sam</h4>


    "We can''t stay here..." Rachel said as a couple of minutes had passed.


    She knew they had to act themselves and not rely on external forces, no miracle would happen in the presence of that many zombies.


    Rachel knew the chances of them dying were high and she would always put her sister first.


    Be was skeptical, she wanted to wait for them to return because they were in the fucking military and had given them amand to stay put.


    Be was going to trust them over Rachel any day but she didn''t want to be the only one here as she didn''t know what woulde through that door.


    They gave them guns to defend themselves but if they were certain of their safety, they wouldn''t have given them guns prompting Be to question a lot of things.


    "What about Jason?" Lillian asked and Rachel was getting irritated by her attachment to this stranger but she didn''t show it.


    "I promise you he will be fine! He is strong!" Rachel reassured her sister but Be knew that she was full of shit. Rachel was leaving Jason for dead.


    Be was disappointed but she understood, Jason could very well be dead and it wouldn''t be wise for them to wait around for him if that was the case.


    "Are youing?" Rachel asked Be and thedy nodded.


    She wasn''t about to be left behind as they exited the room, they were on the first floor and their destination was the rooftop.


    They needed high ground because they could better defend themselves or barricade the entrance even though the chances of them starving to death were high.


    They couldn''t clear a building with that many zombies and so few weapons.


    Luckily for thesedies, the path was clear as General X had been through it.


    Lillian held her older sister''s hand as she guided her up the stairs, the floor had been cleared already so they didn''t have to worry about anything else.


    "The door is locked!" Be said.


    "I can see that, I have eyes..." Rachel responded while cocking her pistol and aiming it against the lock, Two bangs followed and the lock was broken.


    Rachel barged through the door, she did a quick survey because she had no intention of putting her sister in harm''s way.


    "It is clear!" Rachel said.


    The other two entered with the door shutting behind them but with the lock destroyed, they couldn''t secure themselves but they just wanted to wait out the worst-case scenario.


    Gunshots yed an opera below, it was troubling but the fact that there were still gunshots showed that they were very much alive.


    "What is the n?" Be asked.


    "Look at the floor," This was all Rachel said and Be did as she was told but to her surprise, she couldn''t see a single zombie.


    "The zombies are all inside. If ites to it, we will...." Rachel said, pausing momentarily before looking at Be.


    "Y-You''re kidding right?" Be asked.


    "We will have to jump..." Rachel said what they were both thinking.


    They were a little over 3 stories high and Be was skeptical that they could even survive such a fall. If they did, it wouldn''t be without life-changing injuries but they hoped that the worst-case scenario wouldn''te to pass.


    -


    Sam advanced, he was smart because he used the environment to his advantage, and used the zombies'' senses against them by tossing objects away from his travel path to draw them away, only using his guns when absolutely necessary.


    Sam covered more ground but he couldn''t move forward when he encountered over a dozen zombies. He tried to use the same tactic but his feet had stepped on a fragment of ss that proceeded to shatter beneath his feet.


    He cocked his gun and fired but his ammunition soon finished.


    "Fuck me...: Sam cussed but he didn''t look worried about the situation he found himself in.


    The zombies had one thing against them and that was their nonexistent intelligence.


    This allowed Sam to outsmart them as he managed to lure the zombies away from that position as they chased but Sam ran up the wall and jumped on the ceiling, hanging there until they passed him beneath, chasing where they thought he would go.


    Sam dropped down soon after, as he heaved a sigh of relief, he was d he wasn''t with the rest of his team or he wouldn''t be able to do all these things.


    "That was easy," Sam thought to himself, if the zombies were this simple-minded then there shouldn''t be a problem.


    Unknown to Sam, the hallway he had just cleared was the same one that Jason and Clementine had.


    The pair were surprised that the zombies were drawn away, Jason and Clementine walked out of the space they were confined in and it didn''t take up to five minutes for them to run into Sam.


    "You fucking bitch! I thought you were dead! Wee back!" Sam didn''t hide his excitement.


    Clementine rolled her eyes, she tried to keep her cool but the foolish grin on her face betrayed her.


    Jason picked up on the atmosphere and wanted to confirm something.


    "Are you guys..." Jason said but both parties shot him a look filled with murderous intent.


    "Don''t you dare finish that question!" Clementine warned him and judging by how disgusted they looked, Jason thought.


    "Yup, they are fucking," But then he remembered his priority.


    "Where are the girls?" Jason asked Sam but something about Sam''s demeanor told him that he didn''t have anything to worry about but he wanted verbal confirmation.


    "They''re fine or should be fine. General X is holding thest line. I was sent to find you both so we can leave this Godforsaken ce..." Sam said but his face soon went white.


    "Shit... I think I messed up," Sam said but the people he was talking to had no idea what they were saying.


    "What is it?" Clementine asked him.


    "I might have led another wave of zombies to General X..." Sam said with an awkward smile.

 Chapter 19: Tide Shifting?

    <h4>Chapter 19: Tide Shifting?</h4>


    General X was standing on a pile of corpses, he looked like he was having fun as he had made a wall with the bodies of the corpses making it harder for the zombies to get to him.


    He managed to save the sniper as he too assisted in defending, it felt endless and they had run out of ammunition so they had to use their melee weapons.


    The fight was difficult and they were slowly being pushed back but they stood tall regardless.


    "We need to leave!" The sniper cautioned but X wasn''t listening to him because he understood the consequence of abandoning his post right now.


    If he left then he could kiss the lives of his men goodbye.


    X looked at the grenade in his pouch and hoped that it wouldn''te down to it or the entire building could crash if it was used.


    The building was already old so this would be the final nail in the coffin.


    "Go, General! I will hold them off!" The sniper said but this was what took the General by surprise because there was no reason why he should be the one to sacrifice himself.


    That was what this would be, the one that stayed back was certain to die.


    X knew that they stood a better chance together so why was his man trying to get rid of him?


    "You were bitten..." X muttered under his breath but the man he was talking to didn''t respond to him.


    "Go..." This was the only thing that escaped the sniper''s lips because being bitten was a death sentence, there was no reason that X had to put himself in harm''s way for him.


    "A General doesn''t abandon his men, I will stand with you until we both die here or emerge victorious!" X reassured his man.


    This brought a smile on hisrade''s face but his eyes soon lingered, spotting the grenade on his superior''s jacket k.


    They could hear footsteps approaching them, but this wasn''t the usual pace of the zombies, someone was running towards them.


    It was Jason, Clementine and Sam, they had survived and the zombies in their path were quickly dispatched but the problem with this was that themotion was drawing even more zombies to their location, making it an endless stream.


    Jason and the rest jumped over the heap of corpses but Jason was worried because he didn''t see any of thedies he came with; by the look of things the zombies hadn''t breached this check point.


    "Where are the girls!?" Jason asked but he was ignored because Clementine chimed in, she noticed that the sniper was looking pale and wanted to know what was wrong.


    "Are you okay John?" Clementine asked, cing a hand over his shoulder.


    "Don''t call me that, I don''t have an identity. I just do as I''m told," John said and that exined why no one called him by his name.


    "Answer me, John!" Clementine didn''t care for that because she could tell that even his temperature had increased.


    "I was bitten," John said, revealing the bite on his wrist, this was the most vulnerable part of their suit.


    Clementine''s eyes immediately welled up with Sam looking away, he knew if he looked he would cry too.


    Jason had no time for this and slipped away during their grieving process, he wasn''t connected to either of them as they had just met.


    He had a priority and he wasn''t about to lose sight of that.


    -


    "The gunshots have stopped..." Rachel said, bending over, she saw zombies in the distanceing towards the building.


    They were still far so if they wanted to jump down, now would be the time to do just that.


    Rachel looked over at Lillian and Be, she knew that doing this might very well kill them because they might lose the ability to defend themselves but she assumed everyone in the building would be dead.


    "If we''re going to leave then we have to do so now before those zombiese though. We have nothing to break our fall so we will definitely be injured..." Rachel said but her voice cracked. She was scared shitless and it was only now just showing but she was more worried about her younger sister.


    Lillian had a smaller body so the probability that she could die was quite high but Rachel had no intentions of letting that happen, she nned on using her body to break her sister''s fall.


    She would give her life in a heartbeat if it meant her sister would live.


    The door soon bulged and Rachel immediately pointed her gun in the direction of the door.


    Ready to st whatever came through that door and the moment it opened, Rachel let loose a bullet without even paying attention to what wasing through it.


    "WHAT THE FUCK!?" A masculine voice.


    "Jason?" Rachel called out, luckily she had a shit aim and hadpletely missed her mark but an inch closer, Jason would have been hit so he escaped narrowly.


    "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!? DO YOU JUST FUCKING SHOOT ANYTHING IN SIGHT WITHOUT EVEN FUCKING LOOKING!?" Jason was livid, he had no ns of dying in this apocalypse, not even for the sisters.


    "I''m sorry...." Rachel blurted out, this was the first time that she was apologizing to Jason.


    "Fuck you and your apology! You''re as shit as your aim, I came to check on you and I was nearly met with a bullet in my fucking head! You know what? Fuck you, Rachel!" Jason shouted but this did well to ease the tension as the girls began tough at him.


    Lillianughed the hardest but before things could proceed any further, a growl was heard right behind Jason as a zombie grabbed his shirt and yanked him through the door.


    The zombie heard his voice and had managed to track him, they didn''t know where the zombies were entering from as the idea was that the barricade was keeping the zombies at bay. This, however, was soon tossed out.


    "JASON!" The girls screamed in unison.

 Chapter 20: The Hypothesis

    <h4>Chapter 20: The Hypothesis</h4>


    "JASON," Thedies screamed and ran in his direction, everyone but Be, Be wasn''t about to risk her life for him but she hoped that Rachel could handle herself because she did like Jason, as a friend of course.


    He has proven to be somewhat selfless but selflessness could easily be tranted as foolishness because there was no way that was enough to survive.


    Be looked down, the probability that the zombie would kill Jason was high and if she needed to survive, she would do everything in her power to do so.


    Rachel kicked the door, she thought about using the gun on the zombie but she remembered that she had no skill using a gun so he pushed the idea out of her head. She looked over her shoulder and she saw her younger sister, the same sister that was once frozen in ce when they were passing the horde, charging at the zombie.


    She carried a knife and stabbed the zombie''s chest, Lillian didn''t care at that moment.


    She kept impaling the zombie.


    "Leave him alone!" Lillian repeated these words as the knife went in and out of the zombie but of course, this wasn''t enough to kill it.


    The zombie''s hold on Jason broke, this was all she needed and Jason quickly pushed Lillian out of the way because the zombie had reached for her.


    He wasn''t going to let that happen, not in a thousand years.


    Jason turned around to see that this zombie had its entire lower jaw blown off, this exins why it didn''t sink its teeth into him. He had none or Jason would have been turned into a victim.


    "Give it to me!" Jason asked Lillian, the urgency in his voice told her that she needed to do so right now.


    Lillian tossed him the knife to which Jason snatched it mid-air as he jammed it into the zombie''s temple, killing it immediately.


    Jason was breathing hard and he looked at Lillian with a look of gratitude because while the zombie might not be able to bite him, it could easily rip into his flesh.


    "Wait..." Jason had an idea looking at the corpse, he couldn''t believe he didn''t think of this sooner as he dragged the zombie''s corpse into the open space on the rooftop.


    "What are you doing?" Be asked Jason, she was concerned that he had lost his mind.


    "The zombies... They act by smell and sound, right?" Jason asked Be for confirmation and she nodded to affirm his question.


    "Then why don''t they attack each other? It is because of their smell, isn''t it?" Jason said and Be nodded once again but something was bothering her.


    "Were you bitten?" Be asked Jason.


    "Yes Be, right on my balls," Jason fired back, his demeanour had changed because he saw them more as boys right now.


    This was the only reason he couldmunicate with them better, he spoke to them the same way he spoke to his gaming buddies.


    The girls, however, looked down at his balls because they couldn''t be sure if he was joking or not.


    "I''m just joking!" Jason barked like a man with anger issues, was this the famous gamer rage?


    "We need to get out but there is only one way. We need to make the zombies think we''re one of them," Jason said but this was easier said than done.


    "You want us to get infected?" Be asked but Jason shook his head as he removed the knife from the zombie''s skull and plunged it into his stomach.


    The girls looked disgusted by this as Jason used the knife to split the zombie''s torso vertically to reveal the decaying innards, maggots intertwined with its intestines and organs.


    The stench was overwhelming, so much so that the girls couldn''t help but throw up.


    However, Jason didn''t as he held his breath. He knew he had to keep his cool under this circumstance.


    "Why are you doing that?!" Be asked as she puked some more, Jason was too engrossed in his task to pay her any attention.


    [Ding!]


    [Congrattions, yer Has Been Awarded +1 Intelligence!]


    The system informed Jason and this was because the information he just discovered was going to prove to be extremely valuable.


    Chronos recognized this and he reached his hand into the zombie''s corpse but Rachel managed to stop this madness.


    "Stop! We don''t know if the infection can only be spread by bites!" Rachel warned him and this made him stop in his tracks.


    She was right but Lillian walked right up to Jason with a weird ass smile on her face as she sunk her hand into her pocket to remove a pair of gloves.


    It was simr to the one the military wore, meaning that she had snatched it from the room.


    "Here you go dipshit," Lillian said and Jason nodded with appreciation but Lillian soon vomited right on him. She covered her mouth but the vomit only increased as Jason just stayed still, disappointed.


    "I-I''m so sorry!" She apologized to Jason but he wasn''t having any of it.


    Jason quietly continued doing what he wanted to do because he was about to smell a lot worse as he smeared the zombie''s entrail all over his body.


    Wearing its intestines like jewellery and the stench made him nk out momentarily.


    Jason couldn''t believe that anything could smell so bad, no wonder zombies weren''t eating each other. There was no way this smelled good to them either.


    Jason was meticulous to avoid the eyes, mouth or any opening on his body because he didn''t know how it could be transmitted and didn''t want to risk it.


    Jason needed to test out his theory and that meant he needed to actively risk going through the horde. If this didn''t work then he would most certainly die.


    He couldn''t ask the girls to follow in his lead because he understood the risk that came with it.


    Jason was going to be the Guinea pig of his hypothesis.

 Chapter 21: Hope?

    <h4>Chapter 21: Hope?</h4>


    Jason moved down the stairs, he looked like a zombie but he also knew he had to mirror their movements. He was walking at a slow but steady pace, Jason could pass as a zombie.


    But he knew the danger of such an act, the military for one wouldn''t hesitate to gun him down the moment they see him in this state so he had to find a way tomunicate with them if they were even still alive.


    Jason had a wound on his shoulder but he hoped that Lillian''s vomit would conceal it from the zombie''s senses.


    He didn''t want to use the same path as the others because he knew they would gun him down from afar and he didn''t want to break character either because he didn''t know how the zombies would react to him but he also wanted to see if they were fine.


    Jason began to walk in that direction at a hurried pace and he eventually reached his destination. He had to find a way to tell them that he was friendly because if things went as nned then they wouldn''t need to fight anymore.


    He saw how shitty Rachel was with a gun and needed them to fall back so they could protect them if another zombie happens to make it past them again, for all he knew, they were entering the building through another opening.


    Jason remembered that the zombies couldn''t see but he couldn''t be sure about this either because of what Clementine said about the zombiesmunicating.


    This worried him as he had them in sight, Jason had them in sight and began walking toward them but with his hands raised.


    This was a big gamble, he didn''t know what he would do if things went south.


    Clementine noticed Jasoning from the other direction and pointed her gun in that direction.


    She had every intention of pulling the trigger but this was her first time seeing a zombie that had its hand up.


    The closer it got, the more familiar it looked, she squinted her eyes to see what it was and to her surprise it was Jason. She tapped the shoulder of X and Sam to look and they did just that.


    Jason heaved a loud sigh because, unlike Rachel, these people had the marksmanship of killers.


    Jason was within proximity of the military and they all looked puzzled as to why he did what he did but Clementine looked worried about this.


    "Please don''t tell me they are..." She paused, she didn''t want toplete the sentence.


    "They are fine..." Jason whispered. X was the only person that connected the dots.


    "I see..." X muttered as hisrades looked to him for answers soon after.


    "He is using the rotten flesh of the zombies to conceal his smell," X said and everyone returned their attention to Jason.


    They were surprised that Jason could even handle the smell in the first ce because they were feeling it from here. Seeing maggots on him was a rather disgusting sight.


    Another wave of zombies was on their way but no one pointed a gun in their direction.


    General x gave him the nudge, he allowed Jason to test his hypothesis.


    Jason scaled through and began walking towards the zombies, the way his heart was beating told him that this was something that scared the living daylight out of him.


    "What the fuck was I thinking!? I should never have attempted this!" Jason immediately regretted his decision and his thoughts conveyed that perfectly.


    Jason was within two inches of the first zombie, the zombie approached him with suspicion.


    Jason knew he needed to keep his cool or his experiment would end even before it began.


    The zombie acted like it was sniffing him and Jason was scared that it might smell the blood from his wound but this didn''t happen.


    The zombie walked right past him and then the other, the sequence continued until they were all behind him.


    Jason couldn''t believe it, it actually fucking worked and this was invaluable information because this was a major game changer. Jason realized at that moment that this was something that could allow them to survive the apocalypse.


    This could be considered a cheat code even and Jason had every intention of exploiting it.


    The only downside was the smell, it was horrible and not everyone could tolerate it.


    Jason also knew that it was not applicable for everyday usage so this was ast resort card and that was even if a zombie was around them.


    The only reason they could survive this long was because they weren''t in an open space.


    If they were, this battle would have long been over.


    Jason needed to inform the girls on the rooftop about this development because this was their only way out of it.


    There was no other way they were surviving and he looked over his shoulder to see that the zombies were already ughtered, there was a window for him to return to the girls and cover them with the zombie guts.


    Jason didn''t hesitate as he ran back to the rooftop, the military wondering why he was in such a hurry.


    -


    John was injured, he had no intentions of turning and wanted hisrades to kill him before leaving. Jason found a way for them to survive so maybe, just maybe there was hope.


    "Go..." John said once again but hisrades weren''t leaving him.


    "Clementine and Sam..." X said as he began to hand them what was left of his weaponry, weapons that should help prolong their lives just a little longer should they need it but why was he doing this? Did he not n on going with them?


    "I want you both to protect those civilians like your lives depended on it..." X said and they both nodded. They weren''t abandoning John, they were simply given a directive to protect more lives. X knew this would work and that was why he even suggested it.


    They looked at John and nodded, this didn''t look like a farewell nod implying that they had ns to return to him.


    It was just X and John now, X removed a pack of cigarettes, cing one between John''s lips and then his own as he lit them.


    "Why are you so stubborn?" John asked X, he knew that X had the chance to leave him and survive yet he didn''t want to. He chose to stick by him to the very end even though he was no more than a corpse. X dragged his cigarette before exhaling as his lips parted


    "It is because you''re my son, Johnny."

 Chapter 22: Quest Completed! Lust Meter!?

    <h4>Chapter 22: Quest Completed! Lust Meter!?</h4>


    Jason ran up the door but he realized that Rachel was erratic and she wouldn''t be as understanding as the military because she was the kind of person to shoot first and then ask questionster.


    Jason wasn''t going to gamble on his safety and alerted them verbally when he wasing in.


    Thedies were surprised that he was back so soon and what they assumed was that he was too chicken to carry out his n.


    Rachel looked certain about this as she rolled her eyes the moment she heard his voice.


    "You punked out, didn''t you?" Rachel asked in a condescending tone but Jason didn''t even respond to her as his eyes were focused on the zombie.


    "Come over here!" Jason called out to Lillian as he crouched over the zombie''s open carcass.


    Lillian hesitated because she didn''t understand what was going on which was understandable but the fact that it was Jason that called out.


    This made her heed his call, walking towards him but Rachel stopped her sister, grabbing her by the arm.


    Lillian looked up at Rachel, she wanted to know why her sister was stopping her but Rachel''s eyes weren''t even on Lillian but rather, on Jason.


    "What do you want to do with her?" Rachel asked and Jason couldn''t believe that she was even asking this question when it should have been obvious.


    "It fucking worked! The zombies cannot perceive us when we''re covered in their guts! You all need toe here so I can put some of it on you! We can walk right out of the building!" Jason eximed and Be didn''t need further convincing as she charged towards Jason.


    She was ready for him to apply the zombie''s guts on her.


    Jason dipped his hands into the zombie''s body to dig out its rotten organs or what was left of it.


    Jason proceeded to rub it on Be but her body was a lot more defined than he thought.


    He felt her chiselled torso and her chest, he was still surprised that someone muscr could have a chest this soft but now wasn''t the time to get carried away.


    He knew he had a job to do, Jason didn''t want to get aroused by her but a look into Be''s eyes told him that she liked the way he was touching her.


    But the stench soon made her almost puke but sheposed herself, she knew it would be detrimental if she was puking while among zombies.


    That would be a death sentence so she had to adjust to the stench, Jason removed his hand from her body soon after.


    Rachel walked to the carcass with her sister, and she was the one that applied the innards on her sister and herself as she was given a glove from her sister.


    She wrapped a piece of cloth around her hand to do this and the moment they were done.


    Clementine and Sam walked in, they were breathing heavily and the moment they saw what they were looking at, they realized that everyone nned on walking right out of the building.


    They hated that they didn''t think of this sooner because if they did then maybe John would have been alright.


    "You guys sure look like shit," Sam blurted out and Jason chuckled in response, he was the only one that found this funny.


    Clementine was d that they were okay, she knew that they too had to cover themselves in the zombie''s guts.


    -


    John was fighting but he wanted X to leave him and go because he couldn''t allow him to die with him.


    "Why''re you here?" John asked the man but X didn''t even respond; he was getting tired and yet another wave of zombies were walking towards them.


    "They have a way to survive so why aren''t you going? Why are you such a stubborn old man?" John asked, for the first time speaking to X in a callous tone.


    "I''m going to bring this building down, Johnny. I''m going to kill all these zombies..." X said and this was exactly what he feared.


    He was scared that X would do something reckless but X raised his shirt and John understood why this old man seemed suicidal.


    "You..." John muttered under his breath.


    "I was bitten too... It happened when we were clearing the building," X said, this meant that he was infected before the horde even hit.


    "Hahaha! I guess the saying was true," John whispered, he looked a lot more relieved when he found out that X was going to die alongside him.


    "What are you saying?" X asked with an awkward smile.


    "Like father like son," John said with a bright smile as they were content dying but they nned to go out with a bang and luckily, they wouldn''t have to wait much longer.


    Sam, Rache and the rest were here, they walked past them with Clementine and Sam hanging back to say a farewell to John but this was when X revealed that he too was bitten as well as his n to take down as many zombies as he could.


    Clementine couldn''t hold back her tears but this was something she had to get over as the threat that lurked was far greater. Sam bit his tongue and allowed the men to go out with as much honour as possible. He didn''t shed a single tear because these were soldiers.


    Jason looked over his shoulder as he saw Clementine and Sam walk in their direction.


    The worse had passed as they scaled through the horde and the relief that came with it made them feel anew.


    Lillian held her older sister''s hand, this was the only reason she could walk as with this, the saga was over. The moment they went outside, they walked for a good ten minutes as they were in the clear. Just then, a huge explosion rocked the building, it wasn''t the detonation of just one grenade but rather, the detonation of multiple.


    This was enough to bring the building down, killing all the zombies within.

    [Avable stat point: 10]


    [Physical Condition: Low]


    [Mental Condition: Normal]


    [Experience Point: 0/200]


    Jason was surprised, he liked what he was seeing because whatever it was that was happening showed that he was doing something right.


    He had not only leveled up but Chronos was helping him with his stamina in regards to sex.


    He couldn''t have asked for anything else, Jason and the gang found shelter in a nearby building, they needed to rest as they had just had an incredibly stressful day.


    The sun would soon fall once again and they couldn''t stay on the road.


    This was why they did this because they considered Lillian''s physical condition.


    The building they found was like a motel, they could each get a room without worrying about being attacked. It was advised that no one stayed alone, they had to stay in pairs.


    This was a suggestion by Clementine and one that everyone agreed to.


    Rachel had no ns to leave her sister and the good thing about the earlier explosion was that the zombies that were once prancing around here were drawn to the chaotic noise that echoed in that area thanks to the explosion.


    The ones that remained died in their room and were trapped, Sam and Clementine thought it best to leave them be because they didn''t know what opening the door would do.


    If they couldn''t get out despite the noise then it was safe to assume that all zombies had varying strength based on their level of decay.


    Jason was going to stay with Be and he knew that there was some sexual tension between them so this wasn''t a good idea.


    But he was curious if the system knew and why it gave him such a ridiculous skill.


    Why was it prioritizing skills that had nothing to do withbat? What Jason needed was as much power as possible to survive this apocalypse.


    Jason and Be took the room on the second floor but their rooms weren''t far apart in case there was an emergency.


    Jason knew he would have lost his mind if he didn''t have that particr skill active.


    Luckily, there were two beds so he didn''t need to sleep on the same bed as her.


    This allowed him to process his thoughts more rationally seeing as nothing had to happen.


    Jason showered first, he scrubbed every inch of his body and this included his balls.


    He came out squeaky clean and luckily, Jason had brought multiple clothes with him so he had a change of wear. He wore a white singlet and ck shorts, sitting at the edge of his bed.


    As expected, Be went to take a shower shortly after him.


    She had no choice but there was a problem, unlike Jason, she didn''t have a change of clothes so she was in a pickle.


    Jason didn''t mind helping her with his clothes, it should size her seeing as he was taller than her but her body mass might make it difficult to make itfortable.


    Jason dug through his bag for the biggest shirt he had before handing it over to Be through the door, he intentionally looked away because he couldn''t have himself harbouring any sexual thoughts or this might make Be ufortable.


    Thest thing Jason wanted was to make her feel ufortable, enough men in the world were doing that to women already but this might be an excuse for his spineless character.


    In actuality, Jason simply couldn''t make the first move.


    Jason waited for Be and out she came, he gave her a shirt and trousers to wear but she only wore the shirt.


    Jason''s eyes lingered on how tight it was on her body, he was d that it managed to size her but her nipples were visibly poking out of the shirt.


    Jason gulped, he tried to look away but he couldn''t bring himself to.


    "It is so tight..." Be said, Jason''s eyes looked at how her thighs looked, it was dripping with water. Be noticed his wandering eyes, this was something she knew would happen.


    No, it was something she wanted to happen.


    Jason quickly turned away as he crawled into his bed but the bed copsed the moment he did.


    This was an old bed, it was barely hanging on and the mattress springs were all out of ce.


    It was ufortable, he looked over his shoulder and saw that the other bed looked a lot newer.


    This was a motel, of course, he wasn''t expecting quality.


    Be giggled the moment she saw this, shey on her bed, taunting Jason about his.


    "You know, I wouldn''t mind if you slept on my bed with me," Be said softly.


    [Ding!]


    [Lust Meter: 10%!]


    Jason forgot about this but there was no way he wasn''t going to ept her offer.


    He was exhausted as it was and needed a good rest.


    Jason got to his feet and awkwardly got into Be''s bed, he faced away from her as hey on his side.


    [Ding!]


    [Lust Meter: 20%!]


    Jason hated his nature, he wished he could turn around and grab her soft breast, he wanted it in his mouth but he couldn''t act on his instincts but something happened that surprised him.


    Be turned in his direction, and Jason felt her soft breasts pushing against his back, her nipples were hard and poking him.


    [Ding!]


    [Lust Meter: 50%!]


    "What the fuck is that jump!?" Jason thought to himself but he could feel the bulge in his trousers.


    The willpower he was using to keep his erection down was gone, Be was breathing hard against the nape of his neck.


    "H-How close is she..." Jason thought but he had more things to think about as soon as she ced her hand around his lower torso but it didn''t stop there.


    It began to wander lower and lower.


    [Ding!]


    [Lust Meter: 85%!]


    [Use Skill, Nymphomaniac? Y/N]


    A decision that would decide the day or possibly the night presented itself.

 Chapter 24: Clash Of Flesh [R18+]

    <h4>Chapter 24: sh Of Flesh [R18+]</h4>


    Jason found himself in a very tense situation but he didn''t want it to stop.


    He read somewhere that women were a lot hornier than men but they also had better control of those urges.


    That was to be expected considering they don''t have massive erections when aroused, this was the curse of having a dick but Jason never regretted it.


    For this dick has brought him multiple orgasms even though he achieved them alone.


    "Do you want me to stop?" Be whispered in his ears but Jason wasn''t responsive.


    She knew exactly what he wanted and before Jason knew it, he felt something warm making its way into his shorts.


    Jason could still see the option prompted by Chronos but what happened if he did press yes and they didn''t have sex?


    He knew he would be left with the more frustrating erection for 30 minutes or thereabout and that was one thing he didn''t need.


    Jason knew as much as this was a fun prospect, his stamina was low and he needed sufficient rest to refill it.


    He didn''t know when the next zombie woulde but he would rather be ready when it did.


    "You''re big..." Be whispered and everything that Jason thought about right now flew out the window.


    Jason felt her hand grip his hardened shaft but she didn''t stroke it, she just held it in her hand and this was the first time that Jason had any other person grab his dick,


    The sensation was a lot different than when he did it himself.


    Be''s hands were soft despite her muscr exterior, she began to rub his dick up and down.


    "There you go..." She whispered in his ear, Jason''s dick was throbbing with every motion.


    He had to close his eyes and imagine the nastiest thing known to man, which was the zombie he had cut open.


    This helped him not cum immediately but he felt Be''s soft lips nibble at his neck.


    She switched up her technique, as she began jerking him off at a slow but gradual pace.


    "Hmmpph!" Jason whimpered but he felt a hand cover his mouth.


    It was Be''s hand as she kept jerking him off, Jason didn''t know that such pleasure could even exist in the first ce. With his dick hanging out his shorts and a hand that could easily belong to a goddess with how she handled his dick like it was an instrument.


    He was so close to cumming, closing his eyes wasn''t doing anything anymore.


    Be was stronger than him physically and by the look of things, she liked to be the one in charge. Jason didn''t feel emascted because he didn''t have any experience in this department so he appreciated the fact that she was showing him the ropes even though Be didn''t know he was a virgin.


    Jason found himself thrusting his hips back and forth, meeting her strokes.


    "Cum for me," She whispered in his ear, biting his earlobe slightly and Jason let out a huge amount of cum, spewing as far as where the broken bed was.


    Be removed her hand from his dick as she giggled.


    "Goodnight," Be told him but Jason was still trying to catch his breath.


    "T-That was awesome!" Jason thought to himself, he was tuckered out at this point but he didn''t want it to stop.


    Be turned over to the other side, she actually looked like she was done but Jason didn''t even know if this girl would survive the next day or if they would have this much privacy anytime soon.


    He wasn''t going to let it go to waste, he wanted more and he knew just how to get it.


    [Use Skill, Nymphomaniac? Y/N]


    "Yes!" Jason eximed in his head and the surge of energy that came forth with it gave his dick a life of its own.


    If a cat had nine lives, then his dick had two. Jason found that he couldn''t think rationally.


    All he could think about was the things he wanted to do to her and those thoughts soon turned to action.


    Jason turned around and faced, it was now him pressed up against Be.


    "Did you forget something?" Be asked but was met with silence as all she felt was Jason''s hand entering beneath her shirt.


    He began to fondle her breasts with such dedication that it made her question if she could withstand this assault, Jason tugged at the nipples between his fingers and she let out a light moan.


    This told him that he was doing something right as Be wasn''t going to let him have his way, she pushed her ass up against his bulge, grinding against it.


    The fact that she was only wearing a shirt made it a lot easier for him to ess that part of her body.


    "H-Hey, what has gotten into you?" Be asked because this wasn''t the timid man that she had just gotten off moments ago. Jason''s bare dick was pushed between her muscr thigh, he began thrusting it back and forth.


    The sensation was good, the muscles and strength of her thigh cushioned his dick perfectly and thanks to the water from the shower and the precum leaking from his dick, it made it possible for him to do so without injuring himself.


    Be jerked suddenly and the shirt ripped apart, this was because it was barely intact on her as it was and with Jason''s hand further stretching it, the sticity gave out.


    Be felt Jason''s hand leave her chest and the tension of the bed beside her lightened implying that he had stood up.


    Be was confused, did he get cold feet? There was no way he could get cold feet with how hard his dick was.


    Beid on her back and she saw Jason standing over her, it was kind of intimidating because of his size but the look in his eyes, he looked at Be like she was nothing more than food.

 Chapter 25: The Second Nut [R18+]

    <h4>Chapter 25: The Second Nut [R18+]</h4>


    Jason was standing above Be. Be liked that he was about to take control because most people that see her physique either assume she was a lesbian or liked to be in charge.


    Jason ced his hand on her abdomen, he began running his fingers along the creases, tracing the outline of her chiseled abdomen.


    "T-That tickles," Be muttered but Jason didn''t care, he ced his index finger into her belly button like he was trying to push against a hidden remote located in it.


    "You really like my belly..." Be was getting flustered because she was yet to meet a man that took his time to truly appreciate that part of her.


    "I''m just seeing how far into your stomach I will reach and I''m satisfied with the measurement," Jason said arrogantly, it was clear that his confidence was at an all-time high and he had no interest in wasting it on further forey.


    [Ding!]


    [Lust: 100%!]


    He only had approximately twenty-five minutes left and couldn''t waste it on ying with titties.


    He wanted to tip his dick between the juices emanating from her legs.


    Be was excited, anticipating what was about to happen, she liked that his size matched his size.


    He wasn''t a tall man with a small dick but a tall man with a big dick.


    Be knew that she could y hard to get but she wanted it as bad as Jason.


    Jason grabbed her by the ankles and dragged her towards him, he was barely able to do this but he had his adrenaline to thank for this.


    Jason had no interest in looking at her first as he fucked her so he turned her over, she was on all fours waiting to be devoured like a Thanksgiving dinner and Jason was going to take his time doing just that.


    The way she was positioned on the bed made it possible for Jason to remain standing, the bed was unnaturally high and with her face down but ass up, she was about to act out a scene that Jason had seen far too many times in movies.


    This was doggy style, but with Jason on his feet, he could put his entire back into his strokes.


    Jason grabbed her waist firmly before sliding his dick inside her, Jason expected her to break form but she maintained it.


    "What is this feeling!?" Jason thought to himself, if he knew pussy felt this good he would have gottenid edges ago.


    It felt like his dick was melting inside, the warmth and wetness wore his dick like a coat.


    This wasn''t even what made the experience heavenly, it was the tightness, Jason didn''t know why it was this tight but it felt so fucking good.


    Be didn''t give him time to bask in this feeling as she began throwing her ass back, Jason was d for that skill or he would have lost the fight already.


    He began meeting Be halfway by thrusting forward, the lustful sh of flesh echoed in the room. This was why the term "pping ass" existed.


    It has been a while since Be has had a dick this big so it was a weed surprise nheless.


    "Own that pussy!" Be said and this took Jason by surprise but he did like hearing her speak the way she did.


    "Fuck! You''re hitting all the right ces!" Be moaned and this only helped in motivating Jason as his thrusts became more aggressive, his dick was kissing her cervix.


    Jason grabbed her hair, yanking it back like he was about to decapitate her.


    He expected her toin but she didn''t, she responded by throwing her ass back even harder. Jason was getting close to finishing, he was so close to cumming and Be must have picked up on this because she moved forward suddenly.


    Leaving Jason''s throbbing dick covered in her juices, it was glistening like a treasure from Olympus, a treasure that Be wanted in her mouth because that was exactly what she did.


    She tasted herself by sliding Jason''s dick right in her mouth, she thought she could take it all in a go but she found herself choking with only half his length in.


    She trieding up for air but she found that she couldn''t move, Jason had held her head in ce with both hands as he forced extra inches down her mouth.


    "You can do it... Take it all," Jason blurted out, urging her on but Be''s eyes were already tearing up not because she was sad but because she was suffocating.


    She was stronger than Jason so she could push him but Jason did something that no one would have expected and that was putting his whole body weight on her.


    This made him fall on her, she could no longer resist him nor push him off her even if she wanted to, gravity was against her.


    Jason began thrusting his hips back and forth vigorously, he knew this would leave her throat bruised but he didn''t care about that.


    Jason didn''t know which he liked better but he was d that Be pushed him off her or he would have cum right in her.


    Thest thing they could afford in an apocalypse was a baby, they had to take all necessary steps to prevent that.


    Be was struggling but Jason didn''t care about any of this, and soon filled her mouth with something warm and white, it came like a flood and the sticky nature of his semen made it momentarily stuck in her throat.


    Jason pulled out his dick from her mouth like a samurai unsheathing his sword from its scabbard, saliva clung to it. Be was catching her breath but she felt Jason''s hand on her throat and his dick reentering her pussy.


    Be at that moment knew she might be in trouble and she was right to think so.


    Jason fucked her like she was created solely for fucking, she moaned and came and came.


    This was Jason''s first time having sex and it awakened something in him.

 Chapter 26: New Quest Received!

    <h4>Chapter 26: New Quest Received!</h4>


    Jason was spent, even though it was just for thirty minutes it felt like an eternity and with his already low stamina, he passed out the moment he was done.


    This was very much needed and Be too got some sleep, that was what good dick did, it put people to sleep.


    Jason was d that he got this out of his system, he hadn''t cum like this ever and this made all the pent-up stress that had umted leave his body.


    The day bled into the night and the night passed with little to no stress. Jason was knocked out throughout, he didn''t move or wake up for approximately thirteen hours.


    Jason was thest one to wake up and he only did so because of Be identally knocking something over.


    "Hey, sleepyhead..." Be greeted him and Jason smiled the moment he saw her, remembering what had happened the night before.


    A stupid smile was stered across his face throughout and one couldn''t me him, he just had the best night of his life.


    "What is with that stupid look on your face?" Be asked, snickering and Jason noticed that she had worn her clothes back, she had technically ripped his so it couldn''t be helped and hers were dry.


    "I liked you better in my clothes," Jason said and he was surprised what he was saying, it was like he just said it without thinking.


    "Stop it..." Be blushed, Jason knew that having a rtionship of any sort would be a miracle in an apocalypse but he was willing to take his chances.


    "I''m serious..." Jason said, adjusting his body to rest his back on the bed headboard.


    "I thought you would say you liked me without any on..." Be teased, causing Jason to pause for a few seconds.


    "Shit, that would have been a better line!" Jason blurted out, he had no game so no one could me him for his failure to talk Be out of her pants.


    "Hahaha! You''re silly!" Be said as Jason had a big grin on his face.


    He looked to his left only to see that everyone else was in the room, looking at him with a poker-like expression.


    Jason''s grin slowly faded as he closed his eyes to fake sleeping.


    "WE ALL JUST SAW YOUR EYES OPEN DIPSHIT!" Lillian screamed but Jason wasn''t about to break his act, he held on for his dare life.


    This was returning to some form of normalcy because everyone knew what Jason and Be didst night, the walls were thin so they heard everything.


    Lillian knew what sex was so Rachel didn''t do much because it was Lillian that covered her ears herself. No one wanted to hear Jason grunt and moan, it wasn''t a pleasant sound.


    Jason yawned and opened his eyes as if he had just woken up.


    "Oh! You guys are here? Be, when did you wake up?" Jason said.


    They had the face of a parent that just found out their child flunked out of school. They were disappointed in Jason but Clementine couldn''t believe how silly he was.


    She giggled before it turned to a full-on cackle, Jason was a breath of fresh air because everyone was so caught up in survival mode that they almost forgot what it was like being human. A sensation that Jason reminded them of.


    Jason found himself in awe, he had never seen this girl with a helmet on but she was stunning, she was the prettiest girl here by far but he noticed that he had freckles on her cheeks.


    Clementine


    Jason noticed that his stamina had refilled, and this meant that he was back at his peak but he also knew he needed to enhance his physical attributes so he could increase his chance at surviving the apocalypse.


    [Ding!]


    [Quest Received!]


    [Secure Food!]


    This was all Chronos said, it was simple enough, Jason yed games and the yer''s every decision was usually dictated by the system but the fact that he had this much freedom, he loved it.


    He could act independently and the system only aided him every now and then, but he had to allocate his stats points before undergoing this quest.


    If Chronos told him to get food then it must mean that they hadn''t had any.


    Jason had no problems with such a quest because he needed to get as strong as possible, he found himself wanting to protect what he had here and he needed strength to do so.


    "Chronos, allocate 5 stats to speed, 3 to strength and 2 to agility/dexterity!" Jason said and he expected his body to be a lot different, like a sudden shoot of strength and physique but nothing of that sort happened.


    He then remembered that Chronos hinted that nothing of that sort would be happening but instead, it would implement it with real-world activities.


    Jason was curious as to what it was that Chronos meant but he was soon going to find out.


    "Ha! We need to get food!" Jason said out of the blue.


    "We have checked the building, there is nothing to eat..." Rachel said; she was wearing the same clothes as yesterday but Jason was seeing her in a different light.


    He knew what sex felt like and now, found himself imagining what she would look like without that top. What kind of bodyy beneath those clothes even though it left little to the imagination?


    "I think there is a shop nearby and with what General X did, he is helping us even now. The zombies should still be absent from the premises..." Sam said and Jason nodded in agreement.


    "We should probably go and check the area," Sam said to Clementine.


    "I agre-!" Clementine was cut short by Jason, he chimed in as he had a quest that he needed to do and he couldn''t do that if Clementine and Jason went even though on paper they were the most suited seeing as they had military experience.


    "No, no. I think youdies should rest. Sam and I got this, don''t we Sam?" Jason asked, Sam was hesitant but he didn''t want to be the dick by forcing it.


    Clementine did need rest, she could barely sleep as it was because her body was on high alert and this was why he considered Jason''s proposal.


    "Fine, but you will listen to everything I say!" Sammanded.


    Jason got up to his feet and saluted before saying.


    "Yes sir!" This was him trying to mimic the military''s salute.


    "That''s the wrong hand..." Sam said as an awkward silence followed.

 Chapter 27: Target Found!

    <h4>Chapter 27: Target Found!</h4>


    Sam and Jason were on a mission, Sam led the way with what was remaining of his ammunition. The road was empty, devoid of cars but they could see a few dead bodies now and then but this was amon sight at this point.


    Jason was unarmed for the most part, except for the hammer that Rachel had given him, he knew that using such weapons would be effective but he was d that he had increased his stats so he should be stronger than he was the previous day.


    He hated being a liability and he knew that they were going to see a lot worse in this apocalypse. There was no escaping it, chaos was going to be natural order in this new world and he had to be well prepared to face it.


    Sam had a gentle appearance, he was approximately 5'' 11 with a slender build, he was quite attractive in terms of his cuteness due to his chubby face and green eyes.


    It had this hypnotic effect and with his ck hair shaved at the sides yet still reaching the nape of his neck. He could easily pass for a model in a different world but not his one for this was no more. Now, it was strength that was the most useful asset in this world.


    Mankind has been thrown back into an era that they thought they had long left.


    Jason was d that he was with Sam, he walked behind him with the soldier surveying the area with every step. Jason was curious to see just how strong this man before him was.


    He was in the military so he had to be insanely strong, if not stronger than everyone he has met so far and thanks to Chronos, this was a reality.


    "Show me his stats, Chronos," Jason thought but Chronos was unresponsive.


    "Huh? Show me!" Jason reiterated but Chronos was unresponsive yet again prompting Jaosn to question if it was broken.


    [Ding!]


    [Error: yer Cannot ess Stats Of Others That Exceed Their Level By 5+!]


    Jason didn''t know if he should be made but this was refreshing, to say the least, because it meant he was in safe hands and it also meant that Sam was simply that strong.


    "Jason... How did youe across those girls?" Sam asked and this was strange considering it was their first discussion.


    "Why do you ask?" Jason asked, his voice matching Sam''s own. They had to speak at a controlled volume.


    "I know you must have figured this out but those three will be a liability muchter..." Sam said. Jason hoped it wasn''t what he was thinking that was happening.


    "They aren''t liabilities... They have held their own quite well," Jason heaped some praise on thedies hoping to veer this conversation in their favour.


    "You know what I mean, we cannot survive if we''re a crowd. The kid isn''t built for this world and this is why I''m asking about your rtionship with them. It is better to let them go when you still haven''t bonded. Your survival should be a priority..." Sam said.


    Jason understood what he meant by this, it had a logical reasoning behind it as he knew that Lillian couldn''t keep acting as she was or she risked putting them in danger.


    Jason noted this when they first encountered the horde but that doesn''t mean they should give up on her.


    Jason knew that she was capable of changing, this was a new world and everyone needed to adjust to it, even he was scared when he first encountered a zombie.


    If he didn''t have Chronos, he would most likely be dead so it wasn''t fair to me her for a natural reaction.


    "Sam, that''s enough. I''m not leaving them, that''s final," Jason was unwavering even though he realized he might have a better chance at survival with Sam and Clementine.


    "Does Clementine share this same sentiment?" Jason asked; he wanted to know who he should be cautious of her as well.


    "No, Clementine happens to like this group... And it seems you''re just as dedicated..." Sam said but his tone wasn''t one of disappointment.


    "That is a fucking relief man! Now I know I can rely on you!" Sam blurted out.


    He was testing Jason''s resolve because there couldn''t be any weak link if they were going to be a group.


    They all had to have each other''s back or they risked being torn about by internal conflict and Sam was d that Jason passed his little test because he was willing to put a bullet in his head if he failed. Of course, he wasn''t going to tell Jason that.


    "Hah-!" Jason was shushed as Sam raised a finger into the air.


    Luckily, they weren''t travelling on the main road, they took shortcuts and manoeuvred around buildings because it would be foolish to be that exposed.


    Jason wondered why he shushed him in the middle of a conversation and followed his gaze.


    "That is...!" Jason muttered under his breath, a few zombies were roaming about the building.


    "What the fuck? Isn''t this area supposed to be clear?" Jason whispered, they hadn''t seen a single zombie since they started this journey so it was a bit strange that they were here.


    "It is, all zombies flocked to the sound. That can only mean one thing..." Sam said, pausing momentarily.


    "... They just turned," Jasonpleted his sentence and this impressed Sam that he caught on, Jason wasn''t stupid.


    "What should we do now?" Jason asked. Sam knew acting as a decoy to draw them away would be a good choice but it would also be a risky one because no one knew what dangers awaited them.


    Zombies wouldn''t just be the enemies, but humans as well and what made that shop so special was that this was the only location with zombies.


    It was either they died here or they were drawn here by something or someone.


    Both were a possibility and Sam wasn''t going to put Jason or himself in unnecessary danger if he could help it.

 Chapter 28: Who Is There!?

    <h4>Chapter 28: Who Is There!?</h4>


    Sam and Jason had encountered an obstacle but that didn''t deter them, they knew exactly what they wanted to do and the possibility that they would encounter humans inside that shop couldn''t be ruled out.


    Jason gulped but Sam was calm and collected as he tried to devise their method of approach on the spot. He didn''t want to waste ammunition so he knew he had to use melee weapons.


    The fact that the zombies just turned meant that they were in pristine condition.


    "Jason, we need to find a way in without triggering the zombies and I''m afraid we cannot use the same strategy as earlier. Do you have anything else in mind?" Sam asked.


    Jason was deep in thought, thinking about the possible oue of this mission.


    It could go sideways easily and Jason knew that he couldn''t lose Sam.


    "I don''t know what to do..." Jason said bluntly but his eyes soon caught a glimpse of a huge rock beside him. Jason instinctively knew what to do as he picked up the rock from the ground.


    "They follow sound... All we need to do is to distract them," Jason said as he tossed the rock into the window of a nearby building and just as he expected, the zombies began walking in that direction.


    This was a simple yet effective way to disperse the Zombies and Sam was impressed by how quick-thinking Jason was even though he would have eventuallye to the same conclusion.


    They managed to sneak into the building unnoticed by the zombies, the doors were shut but it wasn''t sealed as the handle had been broken.


    There was, however, something ced in front of the door to attempt to barricade it from outsiders showing that someone was inside but Sam had the physical strength to push the door regardless.


    If no one was there, the doors would be unhinged but there was also a backdoor that they could have used if they needed to leave.


    Sam ced a finger over his lips tomand silence, they needed to sweep the area for any potential threat but the store had snacks and beverages inside.


    Packaged dry foods were present with tons of protein bars of varying kinds.


    This was paradise but Jason noticed an empty bed at the corner of the store and he immediately raised his hammer prepared for all and any threat.


    He had split from Sam to cover more ground and Sam was a lot more experience in this as he noticed muddied footprints on the ground.


    He squatted over it and dipped his finger into the mud.


    "This is fresh..." Sam said as he removed his pistol from his pocket, he had a limited amount of bullets but this would have to do because he didn''t know what kind of psycho could potentially be here or if it was even living at all.


    He worried about Jason but he had to trust him, this was why Sam wanted to go with Clementine because he couldn''t afford to babysit and had no intention of starting now.


    Sam followed the trail, it led away from the mainpartment and into the backroom.


    Sam walked slowly and slowly opened the door that led to the other room, Sam heard sudden movement and immediately pointed his gun in that direction.


    "You are...!" Sam muttered the moment his eyes saw the origin of the noise.


    -


    "Clementine, how long have you known Sam?" Rachel asked because she wanted to be sure that they were in safe hands.


    "I have known him for a year or so. He is a good man," Clementine reassured thedy before turning her attention to Be.


    "Are you and Jason a thing?" Clementine asked and this was a drastic change to the ongoing conversation but this was the famous girl talk that women often participated in.


    "Hahaha! I''m not dating him if that is what you''re asking," Be responded but she wasn''t awkward in her response despite noticing that a child was there.


    But was Lillian still a child? She was sixteen and she was about to be exposed to some gruesome things that came with this new world.


    Rachel didn''t try to censor Be either, she found herself interested in what was going on between Be and Jason.


    "Do you like him?" Rachel asked and Be was rather surprised by this question because Rachel always struck her as stuck up right from the get-go but it looks like Rachel was gradually beginning to ept that Be was part of the crew.


    "Like him? I just met him but he does fuck good," Be said and the two other adults look in Lillian''s direction because something told them that she shouldn''t be exposed to such a conversation.


    "You guys know I know what sex is, right?" Lillian blurted out because the looks she got were like she was a child even though she was technically still a minor.


    Rachel sighed because she knew she could no longer protect her sister from such things. After all, this world was withoutw so this should be the least of her concern now.


    "How good are we talking?" Clementine asked, returning to the conversation.


    Rachel tried to pretend like she wasn''t interested but her full attention was on what Be had to say.


    "He was so fucking good! I had no idea being fucked could feel so good!" Be bragged, she was all giggles and smiles. Clementine looked surprised because Jason didn''t give such energy despite his good looks, she could tell that he didn''t have much experience withdies.


    "Tone down thenguage," Rachel said, she had no problem with them talking about sex but they didn''t need to be so raw about it.


    "It''s okay Rachel. I''m not into guys or sex at all, this all sounds gross to me," Lillian said, looking genuinely unimpressed with the story as she was revealed to be asexual.


    And thedies continued with their stories, Rachel feigned not being as interested as Clementine but the truth was, she was the most interested.

 Chapter 29: Glock Glock

    <h4>Chapter 29: Glock Glock</h4>


    Sam was shocked by what he saw; the person he had pointed his gun at was just a child. He couldn''t believe that there was a child here and had topose himself the moment he saw him. The child looked terrified, who was no more than seven years old.


    "Hey kid, what are you doing here?" Sam questioned the moment he saw the child, putting away his gun in an effort to calm him down.


    The kid remained mute, and eventually, Jason walked into the room. He noticed the child and looked around. There was no way that this child could have survived on his own, but there was no one else here.


    "Sam! What are you doing?" Jason asked as he saw Sam''s gun hidden behind his back, as if he was about to harm the kid, but that wasn''t the case.


    "Nothing, nothing... I was just asking our little friend here if he was alone," Sam said with a smile, but he had noticed that the shoes responsible for the mud weren''t the same as the ones the boy was wearing. They were the shoes of an adult, not a minor, but Jason knew they couldn''t let down their guard, even though he was a kid.


    [Ding!]


    [Side Quest Received!]


    [Eliminate The Child!]


    "Wait...!" Jason involuntarily blurted out, prompting everyone to look at him because this was out of the blue.


    "There''s no way I''m killing a kid!" Jason thought to himself because he knew if he did this, he would never get over it. It would haunt his conscience for a very long time. He was ready to ept whatever penalty came, as this was where he drew the line.


    [Penalty: yer Will Lose An Eye!]


    Now this was something that Jason didn''t expect; he thought it would be another stat-rted penalty, and that was something he could live with, but losing an eye was far too extreme.


    Jason didn''t know why Chronos was asking him to do something so sick, but he couldn''t do it.


    "H-Hey kid! Take off your clothes," Jason said, with Sam looking at him with a raised eyebrow.


    "Not that, you sicko! I want to see if he''s infected! The zombies outside are fresh. What if he ran here and they followed him? What if they were once together?" Jason presented a very good point that Sam couldn''t ignore.


    "There''s also a chance that they brought the child here and sealed him inside to protect him from themselves, if they were infected, that is. They saved the child before they died," Sam said, presenting another usible theory.


    The child was staring nkly at them, and it made Jason uneasy because the child was looking at him as if he knew what Chronos had just told him.


    "Hey kid! I said strip!" Jason threatened, and the frightened child obeyed the moment he heard how hostile Jason was.


    "Yo, take it easy," Sam tried to calm Jason down because this was a tad bit too extreme for a child, but he also knew that time was against them. They needed to return as soon as possible, but Sam didn''t know why Jason was suddenly erratic. However, he knew he couldn''t leave him alone with the child.


    The child was done stripping, and Jason checked him for marks, but there were none; his skin was wless. Sam heaved a sigh of relief, but he noticed that Jason looked disappointed with this oue because if the child was infected, Jason could kill him without burdening his conscience, but that possibility was now out of the window.


    Jason soon heard a clicking sound and turned to see Sam pointing his gun right at him.


    "Stand down, Jason," Sammanded, but Jason couldn''t believe Sam''s audacity. How dare he point a gun at him?


    "Sam, put your gun down, don''t do anything stupid," Jason responded, and the only reason he remained collected was that he knew Sam would never pull the trigger. He wasn''t that kind of person, and he wasn''t capable of killing him in cold blood.


    But was Jason wrong? X did order the extermination of citizens that pushed against the barricade, so Jason didn''t know these people nearly as well as he thought he did.


    "Jason, I will not ask again," Sam warned, but Jason couldn''t believe that this was happening. However, he also had no intention of losing an eye. He was thinking and thinking, but he decided that if he had to kill the child to save his skin, he would do so, even if it eats away at him. Jason just needed to lie to himself well enough for him to do this. He told himself that killing the child would save them, but this delusion wasn''t enough to strengthen his resolve because he had the chance to think about it and realized it was absolute bullshit.


    Jason waited to see if Chronos would give him an option that could potentially maneuver him out of this situation , but there was nothing that could be done, and Jason also realized that he didn''t have any EXP to even buy a skill should it be made avable. Leveling up reset his EXP, but luckily, he had allocated his stats just before the mission. This included his dexterity, but he also knew that he was no match for Sam. The fact that Chronos couldn''t even disy it further supported this.


    "Fine..." Jason conceded as he took a step back, and Sam lowered his gun at the same time.


    "I don''t know what has gotten into you, but now isn''t the time to y good cop, bad cop..." Sam reminded Jason, but both men soon heard a gun cock behind them. This was undoubtedly the sound of a shotgun, and Sam picked up on it as he could tell them apart.


    "You should listen to your friend," a masculine voice said, and Jason caught a case of Deja Vu.


    "Not again," Jason muttered to himself as both he and Sam dropped their weapons.


    "Don''t tell me this is how I die?" Jason thought to himself.

 Chapter 30: The Dark Side Of Chronos

    <h4>Chapter 30: The Dark Side Of Chronos</h4>


    "Get on your fucking knees!" The manmanded and Jason heard another footstep, this man wasn''t alone.


    Sam and Jason did as they were told, they knew the consequence of resisting and that was death. Sam nced over at Jason and Jason at that moment was d that he didn''t kill the boy otherwise these men wouldn''t even attempt to do things diplomatically.


    "How many of you are there!?" The raspy-voiced man asked but Jason remained silent because he knew if he said the wrong thing, it would be thest thing he said in his life.


    "It is just us..." Sam responded, Jason remembered that he was in the military and should be able to take on these guys.


    "What the fuck did you want to do to my brother, you sick fucks!" The second man that entered after the first asked.


    "We were checking him for marks... You can ask him yourself," Sam said, he was responding rationally despite a huge ass pointed in his direction.


    Jason couldn''t think nor speak and knew Sam was better suited to handle it because he was used to such situations.


    Jason tried to sneak a peek at Sam but heard the sound of the gun making contact with Sam''s head, sending him tumbling to the ground.


    "I will fucking blow your head off!" The man with the gun screamed.


    "H-Hey! We just came looking for food! We meant no harm!" Jason pleaded, he knew that they needed food but they couldn''t do any of that if they were dead.


    "Shut up or I will blow your friend''s head off!" The man threatened and Jason''s mouth immediately mped shut.


    He didn''t know what to do next, he tried his best but he knew if he spoke further he might make the situation even worse.


    Jason took a deep breath as he nced over at Sam, Sam had a bloodied head with his face on the ground, he wasn''t moving.


    Jason just hoped that he wasn''t dead because he couldn''t do this alone.


    The child was still frightened from what Jason had just then as the brother quickly went to dress his brother up.


    He came into their line of sight and Jason noticed that this one didn''t have a gun on him.


    This meant that the only person that they had to worry about was the man behind them.


    "Hey! Get the fucking gun!" The man behind them barked but this alerted Sam that an opening had presented itself.


    Sam knew that this man''s attention must have shifted to the pistol at that very moment and suddenly moved his head to the side but this movement prompted an involuntary reaction from the man behind as the shotgun went off.


    A loud bang was enough to momentarily daze and affect every sense that Sam had.


    Jason was frozen in ce because, unlike zombies, he knew all it took to kill him was a single shot and unlike the zombies, humans were intelligent.


    Sam swept the man off his feet, but barely and the gun went off once again.


    But the gun hit the other man right in the chest, killing him instantly.


    Sam proceeded to wrestle the man to the floor and thanks to the effect of the earlier gunshot, Sam was overpowered as the man had mmed the bottom of the gun right in his temple.


    "YOU FUCKING BASTARD!" The man screamed as he aligned the barrel of the gun at Sam''s head.


    [Ding!]


    [Options Avable!]


    [Option A: Leave Same To Die!]


    [Option B: Help Sam!]


    Jason contemted because he realized if he allowed Sam to die then he could kill the child without any opposition, he didn''t even need to do it with his own hands.


    He could make a decision that results in the child''s death and that could be something as simple as feeding him to the zombies,


    But he needed Sam, the fact that his level was so high showed he was indispensable right now.


    Jason knew he had to secure the strongest link in their group and he made a choice at that moment.


    Jason had already equipped the pistol during the tussle and he pulled the trigger.


    The bullet pierced the man right in the chest and Sam simultaneously kicked him off himself.


    That bullet was enough to put an end to the threat but he was still alive and Jason let out a few more shots, some missed the man but a few tore right through his body.


    Jason was relieved, he didn''t know if it was because he bumped up his dexterity but he knew on a normal day he would have missed all his shots because the gun recoiled.


    "J-Jason! You saved my life!" Sam was grateful and he couldn''t believe that he pointed the gun at this man.


    But there was a momentary silence, it was as if Sam thought Jason would point that gun at him to shoot him but Jason instead, handed him back the pistol.


    "We need to leave," Jason said as he got up to his feet, the gun sound would draw the zombies back and had the potential to draw even more zombies.


    "What about the kid?" Sam asked Jason, they watched as the child was crying profusely.


    "He will be fine, we cannot take him with us. If we took everyone we saw, it might prove to be a problemter." Jason said sternly; it was unfortunate but Sam agreed.


    A kid would drag them back and also prove to be a liability beside, he was in the perfect ce to survive.


    The doors were secured so the zombies couldn''t break through, this was realistically the safest ce for him to be as he also had food and drinks.


    Sam and Jason took what they needed, filling the bags that they had brought to the brim.


    "We should reinforce the doors," Sam suggested.


    "I agree, I will seal the front door, wait for me at the back," Jason said and Sam nodded.


    He had no reason not to trust Jason, he just saved his life.


    "Sure," Sam gave him this responsibility as he waited for him at the back door.


    Jason took a couple of minutes but he was eventually done.


    "Took you long enough," Sam muttered with Jason smiling weakly as both of the men left the store.


    They were well on their way back to the motel when the system rang out.


    [Ding!]


    [Side Quest Completed!]


    [Reward: EXP +40!]


    Jason looked disgusted with himself. In actuality, he had left the door open for the zombies toe in and they did just that, ripping the child apart.

 Chapter 31: The Camp

    <h4>Chapter 31: The Camp</h4>


    "Fuck! I''m starving, what is taking them so long?" Beined as thedies waited for the men to return.


    The time was ticking away but thedies knew that this was a good time to bond and get to know each other on a deeper level.


    "Say Be, how did you end up with those guys?" Rachel asked, this was an important question because they didn''t know Be''s circumstances but she was hanging out with shady people.


    "I''m not proud of what I have done but everything I did, I did to survive. I joined them on my own, they offered me protection but I had to carry my weight," Be said.


    "They?" Rachel asked, this implied that there was more than one.


    "That is right, Randy and I were sent to scout the area but then we ran into you guys," Be said. Clementine found this sketchy as she was a cautious individual.


    "Yes, they have a camp set up not too far from here," Be said and this was where Clementine intervened.


    "A camp? Why didn''t you return to them?" Clementine asked and Be hesitated for a brief moment before Clementine continued.


    "It is a branch, they recruit the worst of the worst but I have heard that they have a main camp elsewhere. A strange man came every week to cart off the goods that we had gathered." Be spilled information she had no business spilling but this was her way to show them that she was trustworthy.


    "I couldn''t return because I abandoned one of my own. The members aren''t allowed to return alone, this was to prevent people from killing each other." Be confessed.


    "That is smart... If they cannot return without one another then they are forced to have each other''s backs on the run. The supplies, how much are we about?" Clementine questioned.


    Rachel noticed that Clementine''s questions were a lot better than hers as this had turned into somewhat of an interrogation.


    "There are a lot of supplies, everything you would need," Be said but Clementine wasn''t interested in the branch.


    "Do you know how to get to the main camp?" Clementine asked but Be shook her head.


    "Unfortunately, no one knows. It isn''t exactly a wise decision to allow killers and rapists to know where everyone else is," Be said and it did make sense.


    Clementine was surprised by how logical these people were, they recruited killers to do the dirty work so they wouldn''t have to do it themselves but there were so many loopholes in this n.


    "Hahaha! You''re right," Clementine responded with a faintugh.


    "What was that fakeugh?" Rachel thought and this made distrust Clementine in the process.


    "WE ARE BACK!" Sam eximed as he barged into the room with the bag full to the brim.


    He was unaffected by the dead bodies as this was just another day at work for him but Jason was a lot different.


    Sam was swiftly surrounded by the girls, each trying to pick their treat as their stomach could easily be the source of the rumbling but luckily for them, Eren Yeager wasn''t in their stomach.


    Sam dropped them back to the ground and watched them scavenge like cavewomen.


    He couldn''t me them, they were starved and Jason walked in after a full minute after Sam.


    He didn''t look happy and simply dropped the bag to the ground.


    The girls were so upied that they didn''t notice when he even entered, everyone but Rachel that is, The moment Jason dropped the bag, he went outside.


    -


    Jason stood outside, staring down from the second floor but he felt a light nudge on his shoulder.


    "Hey, I brought you something," Rachel said as she handed him a bag of chips.


    Jason didn''t have an appetite because he had just taken a life, he actually murdered a man with these two hands even though it was in self defense but what truly weighed on Jason was the fact that he had murdered an innocent child. At the moment, he didn''t think much about it but after having done it, it was a different reality.


    He hated the way it made him feel, Jason pride himself in being the only participant in his world and this was why he avoided human interaction as much as possible.


    But now he had stained his hand and Jason couldn''t help but think that something inside him had broken.


    "Haha! I''m not hungry, I will eat thatter," Jason responded awkwardly and Rachel didn''t pressure him into anything.


    "I will keep it for you then," Rachel said and Jason expected her to go back inside after this because her objective was done but she instead stood beside him, joining him in looking into the horizon as both rested on the rails that acted as a safety measure to stop people from falling over.


    The silence was loud and Jason was visibly ufortable with it, he felt like he had to say something or she might get the wrong impression about him.


    "You don''t have to say anything, let''s enjoy the silence... Together," Rachel said and Jason felt a huge weight lift off his shoulder.


    He briefly remembered Rachelforting him after that phone call with his brother and now she was doing the same thing right now.


    She saw when he wasn''t himself even without him uttering a word and Jason knew he needed to let it out or it might eat him up.


    "I-I killed a man today..." Jason said; he looked at his hands, horrified.


    "It was nothing like a video game..." Jason said and all he felt was a gentle hand on his back.


    Rachel began stroking it, she knew this was a delicate matter and she only wanted to talk if he needed her to.


    "You did what you needed to do to return to us, Jason. As long as you return, any choice you make is the right one," Rachel said and for some reason, these words were enough to keep Jason ground. It offered him a different perspective on things but before he could fall deeper into his thoughts.


    The bag of chips was shoved in his face as Jason noticed that Rachel wasn''t backing down.


    "Now, eat something. I can''t have you dying on me," Rachel said with a smile, this was the first time that Jason saw her smile. She looked like a goddess.


    "Thank you... Rachel,"

 Chapter 32: Max And John

    <h4>Chapter 32: Max And John</h4>


    "Halt..." A menacing figure with a tall, burly framemanded. His body was a canvas of ink, covered in abyrinth of intricate tattoos that told the story of his tumultuous life. The tattoos covered his muscr arms, chest, neck, and even parts of his shaved head, giving him an intimidating aura that made people think twice before crossing him.


    The most distinguishable tattoo however the swastika embedded on his neck gave a glimpse of his past life association. He was easily in his early thirties.


    The man looked terrifying with a pistol in hand but he wasn''t the only one.


    There were two others with this man and they looked a lot less intimidating than the first,


    They stopped in their tracks the moment they heard this as the man stepped forward.


    "I see..." The tattooed man muttered under his breath as he looked to the ground.


    His eye caught sight of a corpse, the head had all but been severed yet he was still ''alive''.


    It was Randy''s head and the men observed a moment of silence for him.


    "They got Randy, Max!" One of the men that was under Max''s wing blurted out.


    "I can see that, John," Max responded. John had a knack of stating the obvious and this was one of those cases.


    Like Max, he had the swastika tattoo but it was embedded on his upper arm, he was barely wearing any clothes as he had on a singlet and shorts.


    He was bald and had quite the average face, he didn''t have a gun in hand like John but instead, a machete.


    "We need to report this back to the main camp," The second man with them said, he was a lot calmer than his partner, John.


    He had a simr appearance to the rest of them, it seemed to be their signature look.


    He had the swastika tattoo but it was somewhere that couldn''t be seen, it was on his chest.


    "Alex, return to the camp and bring it to their attention..." Maxmanded as he looked over at the other man with him.


    "John and I will investigate further. Be is still missing," Max said.


    Alex nodded and returned to inform the others.


    "Damn! He looks even better as a zombie!" John looked disgusted as he began to poke the head with the hatchet whileughing at the reaction.


    "Hahaha! You can''t eat me, buddy!" John joked, he was in his early twenties and had a twisted sense of humour.


    "Hey Max, I call dibs on Be," John said sternly and Max''s indifferent face creased into a sadistic smile.


    "Be? Be was found dead too, wasn''t she?" Max said in a suggestive tone and John couldn''t contain hisughter.


    "But not before having her coochie marinated by two veryrge dicks.." John responded in an equally suggestive tone. The men knew that Be was alive or she would have been found by now, Be was the kind of girl that always chose her survival above all else.


    The men soon heard a growling sound, it was the sound of the dog that had killed their mate.


    Unlike Randy, Max didn''t feel the need to run away and didn''t even look intimidated by this zombie variant.


    The dog charged at Max but suddenly took a sharp tone and headed right at John but the machete in his hand proved to be more than enough,


    "W-Woah! Go for him! Not me!" John joked; he yed too much even in dire situations but this was because of his overallck of fright.


    He swatted the dog out of the air with the back side of his machete, sending it tumbling back but the dog didn''t feel any sort of pain.


    It got right back up and charged once again but this time. John severed the head with one swing, this showed an unusually high level of skill and the dog''s limp body dropped to the ground.


    And like Randy, the head was active as it gnawed away into the thin air.


    "Hahaha! Look Randy! You have a pet now!" John joked as he carefully picked up the head of the dog and ced it right beside Randy. They had no intention of putting Randy out of his misery but instead, this gave John an idea.


    "Quit messing around John, use your tracking skills and find a trail," Max blurted out.


    "On it boss!"


    -


    Be briefed the boys about what was discussed in their absence, of course leaving out how good Jason was in bed because that was strictly girl talk.


    They had all eaten their fill and their stomach was a bit bloated to show it but the beverages were what did wonders, to say the least.


    Jason couldn''t help but think that he would soon have to take more lives, there was no escaping it because the world was bing increasingly dark.


    Be also added a new piece of information, and that was that these men would most likelye for her. This was why she stuck so closely with Jason and co, it increased her chances of survival as anyone would mistake Jason as a threat due to his size despite him being seemingly harmless even though he was slowly losing that title seeing as he had just killed a man.


    Sam was the man that this information was useful to, not Jason because Sam was a military man and the fact that they might have potential pursuers was troubling as they haven''t exactly been covering their trail.


    "Be, why did you keep this information from everyone?" Sam asked but Be remained mute, she knew that there was no excuse.


    She had to take ountability for her action, she had no excuse for keeping it away from them.


    "I have no excuse, I was scared I would be abandoned if you all found out. I nned to skip after we left town but then you guys came along. Actual soldiers, I knew that sticking around was the best chance I had to survive," Be said.


    "This has gotten a lot trickier..." Sam muttered with a frustrated sigh.

 Chapter 33: Motive?

    <h4>Chapter 33: Motive?</h4>


    The day advanced and everyone remained in the motel because this was currently the best ce to stay, at least for a couple of days more.


    Sam and Clementine returned to their room because they needed some time alone but this wasn''t to do anything sexual.


    "Sam, what are we going to do?" Clementine asked her partner but Sam was thinking hard.


    Things had gottenplicated but it wasn''t anything they couldn''t handle.


    "We need weapons. We barely have any ammunition and if it is as she said then these are people that have no problem taking a life. What we can do is limited..." Sam responded.


    "I thought the n was to rendezvous with the others at the base? We can bring them along." Clementine responded but Sam was skeptical that they would allow civilians in and even if they did, they didn''t know what they would do to them as they weren''t sure how this virus spread.


    The zombies were a lot more dangerous than they had anticipated but the base had a lot more men and firepower.


    "We cannot return and leave them or they will die, Clementine. We''re soldiers, our priority is still protecting civilian life..." Sam responded sternly.


    "I know that but we cannot do this without any support, we need backup. I think we can bring reinforcement from the base," Clementine suggested.


    "Think Clementine, why would they sacrifice men to help three people? The many will always trump the few. Have you forgotten what General X made us do?" Sam asked and Clementine''s mouth immediately mped shut.


    Sam brought her back to reality, if the possibility of sacrificing a hundred to save a thousand presented itself, the logical choice will be to save that thousand.


    And there was no way that the others wouldn''t have heard about this checkpoint being bypassed, this would only make them more cautious because it showed that whatever these creatures were, they had the power to overrun them.


    "I''m afraid we''re on our own..." Sam said to which Clementine fell back into the bed with a thump, she looked frustrated but who could me her?


    They just found out that criminals wereing after them and Sam was big on loyalty, he knew that he couldn''t abandon them even though that would be the most logical situation in this case.


    "Guns, huh? Is there a police station nearby?" Clementine asked to which Sam nodded.


    He knew this area quite well as opposed to Clementine who just relocated, she was rtively new.


    "There is one, we can retrieve the weapons ourselves," Sam responded, he had no intentions of involving the others. He wanted Clementine and himself to go because he knew they were best equipped for this mission.


    This wasn''t a raid and he didn''t even know if there was any police officer still alive but if they were, something told him that they wouldn''t be willing to give them these weapons.


    Weapons were the most valuable thing in this new world and even in the old but more so now than before.


    -


    Rachel and everyone else were together, they had eaten a bit too much and their stomach was stuffed. They couldn''t move an inch.


    Rachel''s eyes caught a glimpse of the broken bed and couldn''t help but wonder if it broke when they were having sex.


    She nced at Jason but saw that he was already staring at her, the man quickly looked away the moment their eyes met but Rachel didn''t think too much of this.


    "What do you guys think of Clementine and Sam?" Rachel asked the all-important question.


    "They''re a good addition! I like them!" Be was upbeat but from what she had said, she only stayed because of her own security so her opinion mattered little for it is normal to like people you expect to protect you.


    Rachel didn''t say this but her silence was enough as her eyes settled on Jason.


    "Jason?" Rachel called out and the man looked her right into her green eyes, it drew him in but he couldn''t afford to be lost in them because everyone was watching.


    "I think it would be stupid for us to trust them, we need to be ready at any moment. Don''t let down your guard," Jason muttered and this response surprised Rachel.


    "What? Why?" Rachel blurted out because she felt the exact opposite but Jason was about to reveal why his intelligence was on the high side.


    "The bodies..." Jason muttered and thedies raised their brows because they had no idea what he was talking about.


    "What bodies?" Rachel responded but Jason had to articte his thought process so he had to recollect what he had seen.


    Jason wasn''t oblivious to his surroundings, he could analyze things due to his calm state of mind and this allowed him to see things that he would have otherwise missed.


    Jason saw the state of the corpses and any corpse that was there without a head wound meant that it was the military that killed them while they were still humans.


    They might have been caught in the crossfire, then again or not but Jason couldn''t be sure, there was no way of telling this and this was why he wanted them to be cautious.


    However, the fact that they saved them made him doubt this hypothesis but not rule it out.


    Jason couldn''t tell their true intention because things went to shit just as fast as they came in so if they did have an ulterior motive, they didn''t have time to act on it.


    Jason went into detail exining this and Rachel couldn''t believe how observant he was and she found herself intrigued by Jason.


    "J-!" Rachel was interrupted by Be, who had jumped on Jason.


    "You''re so fucking smart! I knew there was something special about you other than your good looks!" Be openlyplimented him and Jason was flustered by this.


    "T-Thanks," Jason blushed with a bright smile but Rachel found herself irritated by this sight as she averted her eyes.


    "Lillian, we should go get some rest," Rachel said; grabbing Lillian by the hand as they left the room with Be''s giggling being thest thing she heard right before the door mped shut.

 Chapter 34: Bella Seduces Jason... Again! [R+18]

    <h4>Chapter 34: Be Seduces Jason... Again! [R+18]</h4>


    The world had gone to shit and the consequence of one man''s action was the very thing that threatened the extinction of mankind.


    The zombies were running rampant and the fact that animals were infected made this a lot


    trickier because they couldn''t hunt animals at their leisure because they couldn''t tell which was infected.


    Be managed to get alone time with Jason but things didn''t go as she expected, Jason wasn''t in the mood for sex, at least not now.


    Jason pushed her off him and Be was left feeling embarrassed even though Jason did want to blow her back out, this wasn''t where his mind was at right now.


    Be just told them that dangerous people wereing and the fact that they didn''t know when meant that they had to be on guard at all times.


    [Ding!]


    [Tasks Received!]


    [Do 100 Squats For Allocated Speed Stats To Take Effect!]


    [Do 100 Push-Ups For Allocated Strength Stats To Take Effect!]


    [Do 50 Fingertips Push-Ups For Allocated Stats To Take Effect!]


    Jason heaved a sigh of relief because he wondered why he wasn''t feeling the effects of the stats increase but he remembered that Chronos told him about this earlier that he would have to work for the rewards.


    This was a lot better because despite having to work for the stats, he knew without the system this would have taken longer to achieve.


    There was no way 100 push-ups were enough to increase his strength in one go but it seems Chronos drastically reduced the required time to achieve these stats.


    Jason wasn''t about to waste time and immediately began doing squats, he knew he might not be able to do 100 in a go but he could definitely clear it within a day.


    If he pulled his weight, he should be able to aplish this but Be was left puzzled.


    He could always work out after he screws her brains out and there was no way he should be able to refuse her.


    Be watched Jason and the way he was breathing only after two minutes made her question just how he was able to fuck her like that in the first ce.


    He clearlycked stamina and Jason''s legs soon gave out, his legs were wobbly as he sat on the edge of the bed.


    [Ding!]


    [Squats 35/100!]


    Jason reached his limit and knew that this was a lot more stressful than it looked but he knew he couldn''t be weak, he didn''t have the luxury. Jason removed his shirt for the remaining workouts.


    Jason got back up and proceeded to attempt the remaining two things on that list and as expected, he couldn''t do it in a single go.


    [Ding!]


    [Push-Ups 30/100!]


    [Ding!]


    [Finger Push-Ups 10/50!]


    Jason was done for now and he wanted to nap but Be didn''t allow him back on the bed, not until he showered because he was covered in sweat.


    Jason put his head under the shower and the water streamed down his face down his body.


    The feeling of water always reinvigorated his body, he wanted to stay here forever but he had to get some rest too.


    The door to the toilet soon creaked open and Jason jerked his head to see Be''s nude body and he immediately got aroused because she looked a lot sexier without clothes.


    Jason couldn''t resist the temptation.


    "Mind if I take a shower with you? I feel dirty..." Be said in a suggestive tone and she took Jason''s silence aspliance.


    [Ding!]


    [Lust Meter: 100%]


    Jason was hard as steel and who could me him under these circumstances, he just had sex and the prospect of fucking was still rtively new to him but the dopamine rush he got was something he knew he couldn''t rece.


    Be turned her back towards Jason before requesting one thing from Jason.


    "Hey, can you help me scrub my back?" Be asked.


    "S-Sure..." Jason muttered as he grabbed the soap and began scrubbing Be''s back but his dick was throbbing because Be was intentionally pushing her back into it.


    "Hey, can I have the soap?" Be requested and Jason assumed she wanted to scrub her front so he handed it over to her but the moment Be grabbed it, she let it slip from her grasp right in front of her.


    "Oops. I dropped the soap[," She said as she bent down and Jason nearly lost all form of self-control in the process because he just wanted to shove his dick in and let it marinate in her pussy juices, he wanted to feel her inner walls mp down on him as he pushed his dick in and out of her.


    Be noticed he wasn''t doing anything and eventually got on her knees to pick up the soap before turning around, that''s where Jason''s dick was aligned directly to her face.


    Her hot breath brushed against the tip of his dick.


    "Oh my. Are you perhaps a pervert Jason?" Be asked, acting like she wasn''t the one responsible for his erection.


    Be stuck out her tongue like a hungry dog as she was beginning to salivate like a dog, what was this slutty look on her face, Jason thought.


    Jason found himself thrusting his waist forward in hopes that it entered her parted lips but Be mped her lips shut. She liked teasing Jason because she wanted to draw a reaction from him.


    Jason''s dick was rubbing her lips and that in itself felt good but they had the whole day realistically and Jason had no intentions of wasting this opportunity.


    The resolve he had earlier stripped away because now he wanted his dick between those lips and he was ready to do anything to make it happen.


    "Be, why do you make it so hard..." Jason questioned but Be grinned the moment she heard this because she had a cheeky response.


    "I made it hard so I can do this..." Be said as she kissed the tip of his dick.


    "... And this," Be said as she slid the length of his dick down her throat and she gobbled it all up like a good girl and Jason knew the time to use his skill wasing again.

 Chapter 35: You Naughty Girl [R18+]

    <h4>Chapter 35: You Naughty Girl [R18+]</h4>


    Be was d that she had gotten Jason in such a thirsty state, her throat was nothing like the exterior part of her body.


    Jason''s dick slid down her throat effortlessly, the tightness of her throat made this extremely enjoyable.


    Whoever Be was, her head game was a gift given by the gods themselves, her hand massaged Jason''s balls.


    She suddenly shoved every single thing and this made her suffocate as she coughed a great deal, she could barely breathe but the blocked airway and her struggle for air made it even better for Jason.


    "Fuck! This feels way too fucking good!" Jason cussed out and the moment he noticed Be trying toe up for air, he held her head in ce because he didn''t want this feeling to end.


    This was one of those moments when Be was grateful for her strength as she held the power to force her way up.


    Be coughed, taking in all the oxygen that Jason deprived her of, she tried to back up but she only found her back against the wall.


    Before he could blink, she felt something hard making its way into her mouth once again but this time, she had no say.


    Jason began thrusting his hips, he was fucking her face like it was a sex toy, he thought pussy felt good but having a feel of her mouth was another experience entirely.


    With each thrust hepleted, Be''s head hit the wall but this didn''t stop Jason.


    Be tried to push him off her but to no avail, Jason was in total control as he increased his pace.


    Be knew what wasing because she felt his dick throb like crazy down her throat.


    She began to hit Jason, as if telling him to remove his dick but this only made the young man go deeper. There was no way that he didn''t bruise her throat after this face fuck session.


    Be didn''t know Jason had that dawg in him but it only seemed toe out when they were fucking. No one could have guessed that he had this side to him.


    Jason hadn''t used his skill yet and this was the only reason he came so fast, he didn''t use that skill until he had exhausted his stamina because this gave him a second wind.


    There was no downside to this and Jason filled her throat with jizz.


    It clung to her throat as it was unusually thick, Jason threw his head back as Be swallowed everyst drop.


    Be managed to hold it in because this wasn''t nearly as bad as the nauseous feeling that the zombie triggered.


    Jason stumbled back, barely standing on his feet which was a miracle because it felt like his soul had left his body.


    Every ounce of strength he had was sucked out like she was a subus.


    Be got up to her feet, she was drenched, who knew one could get so aroused just by sucking dick. It wasn''t the dick itself but how forceful Jason was.


    "Don''t tell me you''re already done..." Be asked as she got up to her feet, scooping the sperm that managed to get on her lips back into her mouth.


    "You really are a slut..." Jason muttered but he quickly held his tongue because this could be considered rude and Jason didn''t want to ruin the mood.


    "Damn but you like me slutty, don''t you?" Be said as she began walking towards Jason who was the one backing up this time.


    He didn''t expect Be to reciprocate and partly expected to be scolded. This felt like a scene straight from the porn videoes he was used to watching but it was a lot different in reality.


    Jason, however, thought.


    "What if porn wasn''t so different..." Jason thought and he was about to test that theory, he found that his dick had risen again.


    He had his second wind even without using his skills and the moment Be was within proximity, she had a smug look on her face because she thought he had taken control of the situation but all she did was awaken the horny man in Jason''s head.


    Jason reached out his hand and grabbed her by the neck, Be was startled by this.


    Jason pushed her against the wall behind her, Be didn''t try to resist because this man before her, had a terrifying look in his eyes.


    "He''s hungry..." Be thought to herself with a grin.


    Jason''s hand tightened around her neck, it was almost as if he had let his intrusive thoughts win but this wasn''t the case.


    Jason''s other hand grabbed her left breast firmly and the response he got from Be made him even harder. Be bit her lower lips. She didn''t want to let any sound out but the look in her eyes, it was that of ady that has been conquered.


    "You like that, huh?" Jason said and Be nodded quietly, she knew if she opened her mouth she wouldn''t be able to contain the suppressed moans anymore.


    Jason''s hand left her breast and slithered down her torso, Be knew what was about to happen and she could feel her pussy develop a heartbeat of her own.


    She was soaked and needed anything in her right now, that was where Jason''s finger came in.


    Jason teased her, running his index and middle finger along her pussy slit without ever putting it inside. It was drenched in her pussy juices, Jason couldn''t believe she was this wet because they were away from the shower.


    It was pouring behind them and Be had the soap washed off her during her walk to Jason.


    She was squeaky clean, Jason''s hand left her neck.


    "Open up," Jasonmanded and Be did just that, Jason proceeded to shove his fingers into her mouth but this wasn''t the only mouth his fingers slithered in.


    He had slid his fingers into her pussy, the fact that she was this aroused made it possible for two to fit.


    "Fuck, this is so fucking hot!" Be thought to herself because Jason was viting every hole but little did she know, Jason was just beginning.

 Chapter 36: It Feels So Good! [R18+]

    <h4>Chapter 36: It Feels So Good! [R18+]</h4>


    Jason''s fingers danced between her legs and Be couldn''t believe how good this felt.


    She didn''t know if it was the zombie apocalypse that made this hotter but she was loving it.


    Jason''s fingers left her mouth, soaked in her saliva as he proceeded to cover her mouth so she couldn''t get loud.


    He didn''t know why but he had read stories about where a woman''s g-spot was and this was towards her belly so he arched his fingers upward like he was trying to escape through the rough and Be''s reaction told him he was doing something right.


    Jason slid it in at a slow but steady pose but that pace gradually increased and Be could barely remain on her feet.


    Her knees were going to give out at any moment but Jason didn''t care, he was going to bring her to orgasm. She was grinding on his fingers shamelessly, she was getting ahead of herself.


    She bit his hand, forcing Jason to take it off her mouth but this seemed to anger Jason to an extent.


    "D-Don''t you fucking stop!" Be eximed but Jason knew he had to find a way to punish her if he wanted to retain control over this little forey.


    Jason took his fingers out of her when Be was so close to cumming, and the moment he did, a desperate look crept up on Be''s face.


    "W-Why did you stop?" Be questioned.


    "Please continue!" Be pleaded. Jason wasn''t used to a girl begging for anything yet there was one right now, begging him to treat her like a slut and Jason was going to do just that.


    "Turn around," Jasonmanded and Be immediatelyplied, she ced her hands on the wall ahead of her and pushed her ass back.


    "Tell me what you want?" Jason asked, it sounded like he was flirting but he genuinely wanted to know but Be mistook this as forey.


    "I want you to use me like your personal toy, just fuck my brains out..." Be was breathing heavily and Jason could see the precum leaking from the tip of his dick.


    He knew if he put it inside her in this state, he would cum in less than a minute and he didn''t want to risk this.


    ".... Jason?" Be asked after a good minute of silence but the moment she did, she felt something a lot thicker than a finger and far more flexible than a dick slide right into her.


    It traversed her inner walls, touching every sensitive spot she possessed.


    Be couldn''t help but move her hips back as Jason''s tongue rubbed around her clit gently but he didn''t leave that hole unexplored as he reced it with his finger.


    This was the bestbo in terms of head, tongue on the clit and fingers stimting the G-spot simultaneously. He didn''t leave his other hand free, he was stroking his dick to the sounds that escaped Be''s lips.


    Be was wing away at the wall, and there it was, Be had one of the biggest orgasms of her life. Jason didn''t have godlike technique, Be was simply not used to a man taking his time to please her that even something as simple as this was enough to give her a leg-shaking orgasm. Jason came hard, his dick was throbbing like it just had a seizure.


    Be''s knees buckled as she dropped to the floor and Jason was spent but he wanted to see how far he could push Be.


    "Activate Nymphomaniac!" Jason instructed Chronos.


    [Ding!]


    [Skill: Nymphomaniac Active!]


    Chronos alerted him and Jason could feel the life return to his dick, he picked Be by her hair back up to her feet. Her legs were shaking, and she couldn''t stand on her own but luckily, Jason was innovative.


    "P-Please let me rest..." Be pleaded but she shouldn''t have permitted Jason to use her like a sex toy because that was exactly what he intended.


    Her legs were jelly at this point so Jason tilted his lower body low enough to stick his dick into her messy pussy, it was even wetter and way more slimy than before making the feeling all the better.


    Jason proceeded to lift his body while he was inside her, this lifted her body alongside his as he smooched her between the wall and himself for bnce.


    She didn''t need her to stand this way and it reduced the strain on his body.


    Jason used one hand to p her ass as hard as he could and Be had yet another orgasm because she was still very sensitive having just cum mere moments ago.


    Jason proceeded to grab her waist with both hands and began to lift her body up and down on that dick, the walls tightened the more he prated making the sex even better.


    Jason was having the time of his life as her juices dripped down his shaft.


    "Fuck! I don''t think I want to pull out!" Jason said and Be clearly didn''t like what she heard and tried to protest but words were thest thing she could say in this state.


    Jason was making a mess of her insides and the squishy sounds that echoed showed she was well lubricated even after cumming twice.


    "You belong to me now! Say it!" Jason got carried away but that was only because he was reaching yet another nut.


    "Fucking say it or I will stop!" Jason barked and the moment Be heard this, she opened her mouth but no words came out not until she felt Jason''s firm hand pping her ass cheeks.


    He did it again and again, waiting for her to respond but he was only enhancing the pleasure for her. Jason pulled her hair back, removing a single hand from her waist as he whispered.


    "No one else is allowed to fuck you but me! You''re my toy now and this is a reminder..." Jason said as Be soon found her hold being filled with something warm and sticky, this in turn triggered her own orgasm as her body instantly became limp.


    She was barely conscious but she was d that this was over or so she thought.


    Jason didn''t pull out and instead, only increase the pace in which he was fucking her.


    Be knew that if this was she died, she couldn''t have asked for a better way because this was the best sex of her life.

 Chapter 37: Sam Runs Into...!

    <h4>Chapter 37: Sam Runs Into...!</h4>


    The day progressed, and nothing exciting happened except Clementine and Sam leaving the motel to find those weapons even though they knew that the people that they wanted to protectcked the proficiency to use those weapons.


    The location was further back, they had to track back and were a lot closer to the checkpoint than they would have liked.


    This meant they had little time to teach them the basics because they couldn''t waste ammunition like how they were doing.


    It was limited, they didn''t have infinite bullets so they had to be smart in the way they used it.


    Clementine and Sam were out, they hoped that they could find a car but the road was blocked so even if they did find one, they couldn''t drive.


    "Clementine, what do you think of these people? Do you think he would be there?" Sam asked with a hint of worry in his voice.


    Clementine didn''t respond to him and simply just focused on the task at hand.


    Just like they expected, the further they went in, the more zombies that they saw and this was because it was close to the sight of the explosion.


    The zombies were walking around but there was a problem, they had dogs and these weren''t just any dogs.


    They were K-9 dogs and they were devouring a corpse, they had an insatiable appetite and this was the first time that Sam and Clementine had seen that the mutation had affected other species other than humans.


    "What? It affects animals!?" Clementine thought but she noticed something different about these dogs, they looked a lot bigger than the average K-9 and Clementine thought that this had to do with mutation.


    With the growling sound, Sam knew things wouldn''t be easy but unlike Jason, he could trust Clementine to take care of herself and this meant that the diversion tactic could work.


    Sam surveyed the area but he didn''t see any building he could take cover in neither did he think he could outrun this dog.


    Sam was in a tight spot and knew he had to choose who would be the decoy.


    The decoy could potentially face a greater threat than the person in the building.


    They had to be careful in terms of their decision and Sam discussed it with Clementine.


    "I will be the decoy," Clementine said after a brief moment.


    "Are you sure?" Sam asked, he wanted her to be certain because they didn''t know how the mutation affected the dogs but they had established that the zombies worked based on smell and these zombies had enhanced senses.


    And Sam feared that the dogs would have an even greater sense of smell but he remembered the tactic that Jason utilized.


    Clementine already had an object in hand so she could draw the zombies away from the area and Sam realized maybe he didn''t have much to worry about.


    He smiled to himself as he had momentarily forgotten just how amazing Clementine was.


    "You tell me..." Clementine said as she cocked her gun with a silencer at the nozzle.


    "Hahaha! Of course!" Sam eximed.


    -


    "The zombies are everywhere! We cannot escape!" A man with a deep voice muttered to another man that had a softer voice.


    "I don''t know where they keep fuckinging from but at this rate! We won''t be able to hold up!" The other man responded as he tossed his gun.


    They had run out of ammunition.


    The darkness in the police station robbed them of their sight because the blinds were down and this made it difficult for them to navigate.


    "Fuck, man! We cannot die like this... The zombies are hungry, they just need to eat right?" The man with a soft voice blurted out.


    "You retard! There are dogs outside! They''re the ones that brought the zombies here! It is like they''re fucking trackers!" The other man responded to his partner.


    "This is bad, things aren''t looking good! I would rather you die than me, to be honest..." The man with the softer voice said and the demeanour of his partner changed.


    The moment he felt it, he rephrased his sentence.


    "I\m just kidding man! I would never do that bo-!" The hand of his partner covered his mouth as they saw light sneak into the room telling them that something had managed to enter the room.


    The fact that it opened the door could only mean one thing and that was the person that entered being human.


    "Someone is here..." He whispered to his partner as he slowly removed his hand from his mouth.


    The blinds were soon opened, and the rays revealed the zombies around.


    Just like in checkpoint, they were all stagnant and in a trance-like state.


    No one knew why they did this yet but they understood that it couldn''t be good.


    The person in this building was no one other than Sam, he had his pistol in hand and the fact that he was so quiet showed he had some training.


    He dropped the zombies in the room with quick shots to the head, but his ammunition finished as he moved to kill thest zombie with a blunt object he had on him and this was a dagger.


    Sam took a deep breath and the people behind the desk rose to their feet and Sam immediately pointed the dagger in their direction.


    He was ready to confront them if they were a threat but the men raised their hand because Sam just showed how capable he was and they knew that he might be their only way to get out of here.


    "Hey man, we don''t want any trouble!" The first man said but the ce they were positioned made it difficult to see their features.


    This police station was located further back, they have been walking for quite some time before they reached their location and luckily, they had enough to sustain them in case of an emergency.


    "H-Hey, do you have some food?" The other man with a deeper voice asked as he gulped, he couldn''t believe what luck they had because they have been stranded for quite some time.


    "Both of you! Come out with your hands up!" Sam warned and they did just that.


    The men that came into view were familiar, it was no other than Max and the man that they called John, the same name with General X''s son even though his original name was Johnny.

 Chapter 38: Skill: Smooth Talker!

    <h4>Chapter 38: Skill: Smooth Talker!</h4>


    Be was passed out on the bed but Jason knew he needed some fresh air to get his head in order. He felt his stamina drop but he was d that Chronos considered the act part of his exercise.


    Jason managed to use the remaining energy granted by Chronos toplete his workouts, this was what one would call a loophole and Jason had found it.


    Be passed out soon enough and this was what allowed Jason to get rid of the extra energy in his body and this granted him a little EXP.


    And with it, he bought a skill that popped up, it was avable the moment he acquired the EXP that totalled a meagre 10.


    The skill he exchanged for this 10 EXP was called, "Smooth Talker,"


    Jason bought it the moment he saw it because he knew that it would help him withdies in the future but this wouldn''t only apply todies but the men as well.


    Sticky situations required a silver tongue. This was another passive skill but Jason encountered his first limit, he could only equip 2 passive skills concurrently.


    He was supposed to feel sore but the moment hepleted his task, it felt like his body was refreshed and all the stamina he had lost came right back.


    Jason was beginning to understand that maybe this ability was more versatile than he thought.


    Jason rested on the rails but he wanted to walk around to explore other ces. Jason was walking when he heard Rachel and Lillian singing a song.


    It was in a tone that was only audible if they got close enough to the room and Jason found himself smiling.


    They had brought back a sense of normalcy to this chaotic world but Rachel could see the shadow of his feet beneath the door but she mistook this for a threat.


    The song abruptly stopped and Jason didn''t know why but he was on his way.


    However, he soon heard the door creak open behind him and out came Rachel.


    She had a change of clothes, she was wearing a baggy shirt but clearly with no bra because her huge breasts swayed at every motion. She had on a short that was barely visible due to how long her shirt was.


    Jason had a nce before consciously forcing himself to look at her face because he didn''t know how long he could keep his eyes at an appropriate level.


    "Hey, Jason..." Rachel called out as she closed the door behind her and followed Jason.


    "Hey, Rachel... Jason greeted her with a smile but Rachel looked visibly embarrassed because she realized that Jason had heard her sing.


    "You heard all of it, huh?" Rachel muttered with an awkward smile.


    "You sounded great! I would have asked if you were a singer in the previous world but if you were, I would have definitely heard of you!" Jason said and Rachel flushed red the moment she heard.


    "You''re just saying that to be nice..." Rachel responded.


    "Hahaha! I wish that was the case, you could sing for me sometime if you want," Jason said and Rachel was surprised by how words seemed to roll off his tongue


    "I will keep that in mind," Rachel responded to which Jason nodded.


    The conversation was done and he was ready to move on, he began walking away but Rachel quickly asked.


    "Where are you going?"


    "I need some fresh air, I also need to stretch my legs... You coulde with it if you want. I wouldn''t mind thepany," Jason muttered.


    Rachel rubbed him off as a snob before but now, Jason was beginning to see her in a different light. She had this aura, the need to take care of others but Jason realized that such people tend to neglect themselves.


    Rachel looked back, she looked hesitant, something that Jason noticed.


    "Hey, Lillian! Will you be fine by yourself?" Jason asked, raising his voice a little loud.


    Rachel tried to shush him because they didn''t know what threat was around but Jason knew that no one was close by or they would have given themselves away by now.


    The door soon reopened and all he saw was a handing out that soon turned to a middle finger right before shutting again.


    "Yup, she will be fine..." Jason responded to which Rachel giggled. She took his offer and followed him down the stairs.


    They soon reached the bottom floor and Rachel, thedy that always had something to say was suddenly quiet, she was a lot more feminine than she has been so far.


    Luckily, with the twobined skills, Jason was a force to be reckoned with in thedy department.


    "So Rachel, what is your story?" Jason asked, breaking the silence as they walked away from the motel but not too far.


    This was perfect to get some exercise in but also bond on a deeper level just like Jason had suggested hours ago even though his idea was shut down with mockery as timing was very important.


    "My story... It began when I was born in 1978.." Rachel said and Jason''s jaw dropped the moment he heard her date of birth because this made her 45 yeards-old.


    "Wait. Back the hell up!" Jason eximed as he stopped in ce but Rachel couldn''t keep up the act because she found Jason''s reaction to be priceless.


    "Fuck! You had me, Rachel. You had me!" Jason said with a sigh of relief as he nudged her slightly but Rachel flinched, something that Jason noticed.


    "Are you okay?" Jason asked because he didn''t want to do something that she was notfortable with and hoped that he hadn''t overstepped his ce.


    "H-Ha! It is nothing, we should head back," Rachel said, putting an abrupt end to the conversation and Jason realized that she had managed to leave his question unanswered.


    "You''re right.." Jason said as he followed behind her.


    "That was weird..." Jason thought to himself.

 Chapter 39: The Plot Thickens!

    <h4>Chapter 39: The Plot Thickens!</h4>


    Sam had given the people food, they looked intimidating and he was cautious about the more intimidating man.


    He kept his distance at all times but the fact that they had no weapons told him that something was off in this location.


    Sam watched as they ate, noticing the swastika tattoo on Max and knowing what it represented, something in his body told him that these men were bad news.


    "Are you here for the guns too?" John asked and Sam nodded to affirm this.


    "They are in that room but there are some undead in there..." John said; they spoke a lot differently with people than they did themselves.


    They could tell that Sam was skilled and if they fought him, there was no way they woulde out of it unscathed.


    Sam wasn''t convinced, he suspected that there was a different reason they didn''t raid that room because zombies were slow and it would be no different from a street brawl.


    The fact that opening the room was their only way of bypassing the zombies outside.


    "Why haven''t you guys retrieved them? You look more than capable..." Sam threw that in the air and hoped they would catch it.


    His eyes were focused on Max because he saw him as a threat as opposed to thenky John.


    "Man, zombies are freaky as shit and we don''t even know how many there are out there! We just want to meet up with our friend!" John eximed and this told Sam that they weren''t alone.


    "You aren''t alone? You should tell your friend to stay away from here because it is swarming with zombies," Sam offered them a piece of advice but Max knew that this man wasn''t a fool.


    He could tell by the way he was being watched that Sam wasn''t fooled by their act and it was quite clever for John to drop that they weren''t alone.


    This would halt Sam from taking any drastic action he might have nned but he saw that Sam was going to be a threat. They had to get rid of him as soon as possible.


    "Hahaha! She is a smartdy! I just hope we can get back to her safely..." John was engaging Sam pretty well in conversation and Max was just eating.


    He acted like it was because of the food that he couldn''t speak but he was waiting for an opening with a hand slowly reaching for something strapped to his back.


    "It is funny you should say that..." Sam muttered under his breath, prompting Max to halt his nned action.


    "I too, am not alone.." Sam said and that was enough to deter Max frompleting said actions.


    "You aren''t?" Max finally spoke and Sam nodded, the tension was high and Sam knew he needed to get that gun because even he might have a problem should things escte.


    This was a new world, survival of the fittest so he knew that these men might have ulterior motives.


    They weren''t policemen, Sam was certain by the way they dressed and the Nazi tattoo.


    These might very well be prisoners and while this wasn''t true, it was the most logical assumption considering the situation.


    Sam moved to the door to check the doorknob but he didn''t drop his guard even for even a second.


    The door was jammed from the inside, and Sam twisted and twisted but the door didn''t budge.


    It was like something was pushing on it from the inside.


    "See? It is so fucking difficult!" John reiterated his earlier point and Sam did find it strange.


    Max got up to his feet and Sam immediately took a battle-ready stance.


    "Hey man, rx! We''re trapped here together. We need to help one another to get out of this shit," John said. Sam and Max had a stare down and neither was backing down.


    "He is right, we need to work together to escape this mess," Max said as he walked towards Sam with his hand outstretched.


    "Truce?" Max asked. Sam was hesitant, he didn''t know what these men wanted but he was sure they had no ns of giving him the guns should they get it.


    The chances that they would kill him was high and if it was like they had said, there was another one of them.


    Sam needed to see what and where these people came from or where they were headed.


    He was beginning to consider Clementine''s idea of going to base because what exactly was their n? To wander aimlessly until they die?


    Sam reached his hand forward and firmly grabbed Max''s hand. He was surprised by how strong this man''s hand was and knew instinctively this was the hand of a dangerous man.


    "Truce," Sam said sternly.


    -


    Clementine had managed to draw the zombies away from the building while staying out of sight, they didn''t know where she was.


    It was a lot easier than she thought it would be, she assumed the dogs would be a threat but they were just as gullible as the rest of the zombies.


    They showed no signs of intelligence thus far and this was proving to be a walk in the park.


    Clementine was having a field day but she noticed the dogs did behave strangely.


    They were making a strange noise that made the zombies gather around them, since they were drawn by sound a dog could easily be the epicenter of a horde.


    This meant that the further she drew them away, the more they grew in numbers.


    Clementine was worried because she knew what might happen if the dogs perceived her.


    "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" A sound echoed in a nearby house and the dogs took off, these dogs were fast and they charged right at the building.


    Banging their head against the door like they were possessed, Clementine knew what that sound was and there was no way she was going to leave them to their own devices.


    "Is that a baby!?"

 Chapter 40: Clementine

    <h4>Chapter 40: Clementine</h4>


    Clementine was in a pickle, she didn''t know what to do because it felt like she was the one that brought these zombies here herself.


    She was feeling guilty and there was no way she was about to leave the baby because she didn''t know if it was alone or if it was being protected by someone.


    But thetter was highly unlikely because they would have found a way to keep the baby quiet.


    "Fuck!" Clementine cussed. She checked her gun quickly to see if had any bullets left but she knew it was not nearly enough to kill these many zombies.


    She hated the situation she found herself in but she also knew that if she didn''te here then the baby might not stand a chance.


    Something told her this child was alone but she didn''t rule out the possibility that someone else might be there with it.


    She knew how protective people were in this world because everyone was going to do whatever it took to survive.


    Clementine had no ns of bing a casualty but she hoped that this wouldn''t require something so drastic.


    There was no way she could draw the zombies away because the baby kept crying, the sorrowful voice echoed.


    The dogs were growling, they sounded more vicious dead than alive, and eventually one threw themselves through the window.


    The ss shattered and that was when Clementine knew that she needed to do something and fast.


    Clementine knew she had to put the dogs down otherwise they could prove to be a threat.


    She moved to the building, she had to be careful otherwise she would find herself in a situation that even she couldn''t escape.


    Clementine thought about leaving the baby because there was no guarantee that it wasn''t already toote as the other dogs soon followed after the first that had entered.


    Clementine was left with the dumber versions but the fact that the baby continued crying meant that they couldn''t reach the baby or it would have died already.


    Clementine tried to sneak past the other zombies, but they couldn''t pass through the windows because they could not jump.


    That and they were dumb as fuck so it couldn''t be helped but the dogs showed higher signs of intelligence.


    Clementine noticed that they were all situated at the front door so she had to find a way to go around, she had to go through the backdoor.


    This should be a lot easier because the dogs were no longer present and Clementine noticed that the zombies had a range, they couldn''t perceive everything as they had a limited range.


    Clementine managed to do just that and luckily, the backdoor was unlocked so she didn''t need to break the window to enter but rather, she could enter the building quietly.


    Clementine held her gun, pointing it forward as she moved forward, the baby''s voice wasing from upstairs and the constant banging on the door helped her confirm her suspicion.


    They hadn''t gone in but now she had to kill them; Clementine soon felt a hand grab her shoulder and she didn''t hesitate to put it whoever or whatever it was that grabbed her found themselves on the floor.


    Clementine noticed it was a man, he looked like he was near death, his face was beaten to a pulp and it looked like he just regained consciousness.


    He tried to speak but no words coulde out of his mouth and this implied he had somehow taken damage to his vocals.


    He pointed up the stairs and Clementine knew what he was trying to say, he was referring to the baby but what happened here?


    These wounds, there was no doubt that it was inflicted by another person but Clementine had a limited time to react because the dogs had heard this.


    She couldn''t save him but the man held her by the ankle, Clementine momentarily thought about kicking his face in but the man gave her a key before gesturing for her to leave.


    He knew he was about to die and Clementine could only imagine what this key was.


    The man tried to crawl away from where Clementine was hidden but he couldn''t go far because the dogs found him.


    The dogs didn''t find him initially because they ran right up the stairs and didn''t have the chance to explore other parts of the house.


    The dogs ripped into him and he screamed in pain, his voice was loud and Clementine could only imagine what he was going through but she didn''t have the time to feel sympathy for him.


    She had to save the baby or this would be its fate.


    Clementine was positioned away from them, she was positioned behind the dogs'' blind spot.


    She quickly tiptoed, trying her best to be quiet because she understood that even she might not be able to put down these dogs fast enough.


    Clementine knew that she could try and put down the dogs now that they were distracted.


    She didn''t want to waste her bullets because she didn''t know what threaty ahead and she didn''t want to need it and not have it.


    Clementine realized why he gave her the key, the door was bolted shut and she understood why the key was given to her, it was to open the door.


    But the worst thing that could happen, happened.


    There was a creak, the effects of old wood that Clementine had unknowingly stepped on.


    Like hounds, the dogs charged towards Clementine but luckily for her, she was closer to the door than the dogs were closer to her.


    She ran there but the door wasn''t locked, she was able to open it without the key but this got her questioning what the key was for.


    Clementine shut the door behind her just in time as the dogs began jamming the door once again.


    Clementine heaved a loud sigh of relief as she turned around but what she saw caused her to throw up the moment she entered.


    "W-What is this!?"

 Chapter 41: Danger! Danger! Danger!

    <h4>Chapter 41: Danger! Danger! Danger!</h4>


    Sam had entered a truce with these two men but he in no way trusted them.


    They began to try to bypass the door, they tried to force it open but there was no luck with him.


    The door wouldn''t bulge but they weren''t about to give up because they wanted the weapons.


    "This is one strong door!" John said, and Sam nodded in agreement.


    Sam never allowed them to stand behind his back because he knew he would be vulnerable to a sneak attack.


    Sam looked around and saw that there was an axe at where the men were previously but he didn''t bring it to their attention.


    It looked like they made an active attempt at hiding it but they didn''t hide it well enough; Sam kept quiet because he wanted to see if they had hidden motives.


    Thest thing they needed was to hack down the door, they couldn''t do that previously due to the zombies that were present.


    They hoped that the zombies would move on if they didn''t hear anything from within but Sam came to their rescue unknowingly.


    "Ha! Things would have been easier if we could break down this door with something..." Sam threw up that idea hoping that someone would catch it.


    John and Max nced at each other but Sam''s bodynguage was in his favour, they didn''t perceive him as a threat.


    "We should check around for something so we can break down this door and get our guns. We cannot waste time or more zombies mighte." Sam rolled his eyes.


    He sounded frustrated but this gave the other two men an excuse to bring out their hidden axe.


    This way, they could bring it out without suspicion.


    Sam was ying them and they were dancing right on his hand, they weren''t as smart as they seemed and Sam was taking advantage of them.


    Max ''found'' the axe and returned to the door, they stared each other down but this was Max''s way of seeing if this man suspected them of anything.


    "Well? Are you going to do it big guy or do you want to hand me the axe?" Sam said casually, his friendly demeanor made Max chuckle.


    "I have got this..." Max reassured him and he smashed the axe right at the door, the first strike was enough to put a dent in the door.


    "He is strong..." Sam thought to himself, he knew that these men weren''t as weak as they portrayed themselves and Max revealed his strength just as Sam intended.


    John noticed that Sam was paying an unnatural amount of attention to Max.


    He was watching him with hawk-like eyes but he couldn''t me him, they were strangers.


    "So the other person you guys are with, what happened to him?" Sam asked, this was the perfect moment for this conversation because Sam believed that they had broken through the hostile phase and they would be more susceptible to agree with him.


    "I don''t think he will being back anytime soon..." John said as he watched Max make headway with the obstacle in their path.


    "What about yours?" John asked and Sam knew he couldn''t let these men know that he was alone or even with Clementine but luckily, he didn''t need to.


    "Fuck yeah!" Max cussed out loud, the door had been broken through and John immediately rushed forward.


    Sam found this strange, it looked like they were trying to ice him out but Sam didn''t mind.


    "So what was blocking the door?" Sam asked but he got no response from the men.


    "You guys suddenly can''t hear me?" Sam asked but the silence gave him his answer.


    Max swung the axe, but this time, it wasn''t aimed at the door but right at Sam.


    Sam had an idea of his strength so blocking it wasn''t in his best interest and because of that, he chose to dodge it.


    Sam ducked down, feeling the axe narrowly miss the top of his head.


    "Such agility!" Max thought to himself but a roundhouse upper kick connected with Max''s upper jaw.


    This sent Max crashing backwards, he hit the ground with a loud thump as Sam gradually got back to his feet, looking at John.


    "Are you going to be stupid as well?" Sam asked but John just started cackling like a madman.


    "You stupid piece of shit! You don''t know what you have done!" John wasughing his ass out and Sam found this strange because there was nothing funny going on.


    Sam soon realized why he wasughing as he saw a looming shadow, he jerked his back and saw an enraged Max.


    "That should have knocked you out..." Sammented but it didn''t.


    Sam now understood his situation, he had to kill these men before they got their hands on the gun and despite being outnumbered, Sam didn''t look threatened by his situation as a grin crept up on his face.


    "What''re two more bodies..." Sam said, picking up the axe from the floor.


    -


    Clementine threw up when she saw a dead woman, someone had vited her body.


    But this wasn''t the only thing that they did, they cupped off her breasts like some sick game and ced the baby into the corpse of the woman that they had cut open her womb.


    Clementine didn''t understand how humans could be so cruel but this was a prime example of why the world needed rules for people to follow.


    Clementine had locked the door because she didn''t know if whoever was responsible for this was still around and she would rather not find out. Unlike Sam, she wanted to believe in the goodness of mankind.


    Clementine picked up the bloodied baby and she realized that this woman was a zombie but had lost the ability to move or do anything otherwise.


    They had broken her spine and limbs so the zombie couldn''t reach the baby, it was a sick joke and Clementine didn''t find this funny.


    "Who could have done this!?" Clementine thought but she heard movement in the closet.


    Clementine noticed that the lock on the closet matched the key and came to the conclusion that this was the reason the man had given her the key.

 Chapter 42: Perversion [R18+]

    <h4>Chapter 42: Perversion [R18+]</h4>


    Jason wondered what he did wrong but he didn''t think too much about it because he knew that Rachel was a strangedy.


    She wasn''t as free as Be and she must have her reasons because Jason just lost his virginity so sex was a constant on his mind.


    Rachel returned to her room and this allowed Jason to further explore the other parts of this motel alone and undisturbed.


    Jason''s life wasn''t much before the apocalypse but for now, his life was taking a turn for the better.


    He was finding himself and couldn''t believe how strong he was bing but he had Chronos to thank for this or he would have most certainly died on the first day.


    "I wonder how Clementine is doing?" Jason thought; he has had perverse thoughts about her because she looked stunning.


    It was hard to not notice plus the fact that she was ady in uniform added to the appeal.


    Jason found himself wandering in that direction but he saw that their door was slightly opened.


    This made Jason question what had happened and he couldn''t help his intrusive thoughts as he popped his head through the door to see if there was anyone inside but he saw nothing.


    Even the bags that they had, they had all disappeared.


    "Those bastards...!" Jason cussed out because what came to his mind was that they had abandoned them.


    They yed a major role in their security so their missing was going to affect them, it would make Be feel unsafe and if it was as Be said, then the enemies that wereing were more than Jason could handle.


    He couldn''t exactly use his Nymphomaniac skill to fuck all of them to death, that would be absurd even if they were women.


    Jason kept it to himself because he didn''t want to cause a panic, and rightfully so as he didn''t know what was going on.


    It would be foolish to jump to a conclusion without knowing the full details.


    Jason couldn''t resist the urge to explore the empty room and he did just that.


    He looked around and saw a G-String pantying on the floor, he looked to his left and right to check if there was anyone around.


    Jason had never thought about what came to his mind but for some reason, his sexual appetite increased at an exponential level.


    There was no doubt that this belonged to Clementine but he was surprised that she wore such sexy underwear.


    Jason walked towards it and picked it up from the ground, it was barely sticking out from under the bed so she tried to keep it out of sight but did this mean that she wasn''t wearing anything?


    Jason''s mind wandered and his body reacted to the thought.


    [Ding!]


    [Lust Meter: 50%!]


    Jason walked to the door and locked it from the inside. He took a deep breath, he couldn''t believe he was about to do this as he ced the underwear right on his nose.


    He expected to smell terrible but it was quite the opposite, it had a natural smell that triggered his instinct.


    [Ding!]


    [Lust Meter: 100%!]


    Chronos informed Jason and Jason was surprised how the meter went up that high that fast, all he had done was taken a sniff.


    Jason felt the erection in his pants trying to burst out, he had to let it out some way as he unzipped his trouser so his dick could breathe.


    Jason kept sniffing it, grabbing his dick with his other hand as he slowly began to stroke it.


    "Fuck! Why does this feel so good!?" Jason thought, yanking his head back as he kept jerking it.


    He didn''t know what came over him but he wasn''t thinking, everything he did felt automated.


    Jason could feel the precuming out already and there was a way to make this feel even better.


    Jason slid his dick into the panties and began stroking it and it felt even better because of his dirty mind.


    Clementine''s cute ass was once in these and now his dick was wrapped in it but Jason soon realized he could cum in it and stopped himself from doing that.


    Jason was breathing hard, he didn''t know what was happening but he feared he was bing a bigger pervert.


    He ced the panties back where he saw it with his throbbing dick finding no relief but this was where Be woulde in.


    Jason had fucked her so hard that she needed to fall asleep but something was about to wake her up because Jason had every intention of sticking his dick into that ass of hers.


    Jason hurried there, he was almost salivating as he had only one thing on his mind and that was fucking Be.


    Jason opened the door to his room and Be wasying on her belly, her ass was hanging out as she only had her panties on.


    Jason climbed on her and shifted her panties to the side but this motion woke Be up.


    "A-Again!?" She eximed but she soon couldn''t speak because Jason''s hand wrapped around her mouth as he closed his eyes to relive that sensation.


    His dick entered Be and her eyes rolled back as Jason began pounding away, watching Be''s ass shake from the recoil.


    "Fuuck! I''m going to cum!" Be thought, she didn''t know what came over Jason but she weed it. His dick filled her up, it touched every part of her pussy.


    At this point, Jason had turned Be''s pussy into a cast for his dick.


    Jason smacked her ass, leaving his hand imprint on her ass cheek before removing his hand from her mouth and proceeding to push her face into the mattress.


    Be''s legs began to shake uncontrobly because she was having an intense orgasm and Jason''s cum shot through her like a water gun.


    "Be, I think I just might have use for you," Jason said with a perverted smile.

 Chapter 43: Bang!

    <h4>Chapter 43: Bang!</h4>


    Sam was going against two people, he was ready to fight for his life and his military training left him well-equipped for this battle and this could exin why he was so calm.


    "You kick good..." Maxplimented him but that kick was meant to knock him out.


    "Ha! You''re kind but that kick was meant to knock you out so I guess I don''t kick well enough..." Sam teased with a genuine smile. He was having fun but this didn''t mean he didn''t understand the situation he was in.


    Max noticed the axe in Sam''s hand and that was why he wasn''t eager to rush in.


    Sam had just demonstrated that he had superior skills in terms of fighting and him being armed made things a lot worse.


    John, however, was a violent airhead and he charged at Sam from his blind spot but Sam could hear his footsteps and immediately turned.


    He realized that John wasn''t running towards him but away from him, he was going for the door.


    Sam knew he had to stop him because if John brought a knife to a gunfight, it would prove disastrous.


    Sam tried to move but he left himself open to Max''s attack, Max had already demonstrated superior strength so blocking his blows would affect him one way or another.


    The only thing that saved Sam was that he had seen the shadow move behind him allowing him to jerk his head in time.


    Sam crossed his arms to form an X shape defence to block the iing kick aimed at his chest, this sent him skidding a couple of inches back.


    "I see..." Sam said; the kick had sent him closer to John and he could peek through the hole made in the door.


    The thing that has been blocking it was the corpse of a dead police officer except he didn''t turn.


    These men must havee in and attacked him. The police proceeded to take shelter behind the door but he sumbed to his injuries.


    From what he saw, it was an axe wound to the head, it was a miracle he could even move that far after such a fatal wound.


    Sam was irritated by this and realized he had to kill these two men here and now.


    Luckily, Clementine wasn''t here to hold him back so he could let loose.


    Sam knew that the threat he needed to take care of first was Max.


    Max ran towards him but this prompted the smaller man to be on high alert as Sam threw his ax aimed right at his enemy''s leg.


    The size of the man meant hecked the agility to dodge this and this was a calcted attack from Sam that yielded results as the axe impaled his enemy''s thigh.


    "Fuck! This little fucker is good!" Max thought to himself because he could no longer maintain the speed at which he charged at Sam with.


    This forced Max''s speed to drop drastically as he began leaping but he felt a right jab to the side of his face that shook his brain and made him stumble onto his knees.


    "Anyst words?" Sam questioned but Max wasn''t about to go down with taking Sam with him.


    He removed the axe that was lunged into his thigh and swung it at Sam but Sam disarmed him by kicking his elbow; this kick snapped his arm into two, using Max''s strength against him.


    The bone stuck out as the metal axe slid away from them on the floor.


    "I guess I can finish you offter..." Sam said casually as he tilted his head to see John still struggling to open the door.


    Sam knew that moving a body through that small hole would be a lot more difficult than they thought. The weight of a dead body wasn''t anything tough at.


    John heard his footsteps get closer and closer, Sam picked up the axe ready to kill John but John never turned back. Not until Sam was close enough, he turned around suddenly but he had a pistol in hand. John wasn''t trying to open the door, he was trying to get the gun from the police officer''s holster.


    "W-What?" Sam thought but before he could even process what happened, a gunshot echoed.


    -


    Clementine took the baby out of the carcass, she couldn''t risk the baby getting caught by the zombie but she worried that the baby might have inadvertently put its bloodied hands into his mouth like babies were fond of doing.


    She didn''t know how the infection spread but she understood that directly ingesting it couldn''t be good.


    Clementine could hear the dogs banging their head even harder on the door, why were they so aggressive? Clementine wondered if it was what was in the closet.


    She gulped, the saving grace was that the baby was now quiet.


    She stuck the key in the closet and yanked it open, ready for whatever it was that waited for her.


    "Eh?" She thought to herself because all she saw was an unconscious young boy no more than thirteen. He wasn''t dead but he wasn''t alive either.


    It felt like he was in between but Clementine noticed that he had a bite mark that had healed right on his neck.


    There was no way that this child was immune but this would exin the extreme measures taken to make sure he was safe from the ensuing carnage that took ce.


    Heck, priority was ced on him over a toddler, this was strange as it was.


    She tried to shake the boy awake but nothing happened, but if this was what she was thinking then maybe, just maybe there was hope for humanity after all.


    A gift had fallen right in herp and she was going to make sure that she protected this boy by all means, she had to get rid of the dogs first and Clementine hatched a n to make sure that this would happen.

 Chapter 44: What Just Happened?

    <h4>Chapter 44: What Just Happened?</h4>


    A gun was fired carelessly and blood sttered on the ground as the bullet had burrowed right through someone''s forehead and fortunately for Sam, it wasn''t his.


    Sam was surprised that he wasn''t shot and looked over his shoulder to see Max dead on the floor. He was relieved that the bullet wasn''t for him but he knew what would happen if the zombies heard it, they would swarm the area.


    Sam was puzzled as John didn''t even point the gun at him but instead, strapped it on himself as he continued to try and get the door open.


    "I always hated that fucker! Hey! Are you going to help me get this shit open?" John asked.


    Sam didn''t want to question it because John could easily have killed him if he wanted to at that very moment but he spared him.


    He instead chose to kill his partner, which was strange but it also told Sam that this man had no sense of loyalty even though he didn''t know the nature of their rtionship.


    Sam quickly rushed to aid him, the fact that he didn''t kill him now meant that he needed him for some reason. Be it for security or to help protect him better because in actuality, Sam knew that killing Max at that moment was the most logical thing to do as he had essentially crippled the man and rendered him ineffective so maybe this man was ying the long game?


    Sam helped as the body was moved and the door finally opened and beyond that door was an arsenal of weapons.


    "Fucking jackpot!" John eximed as he rushed forward, Sam couldn''t believe that the armory hadn''t been raided yet but he was happy that it wasn''t because now they had the necessary weapons to defend themselves for the time being.


    "Hey, man! We did it!" John said to Sam, including him in this celebration.


    "Why didn''t you kill me?" Sam asked right there and then.


    "I can tell you''re a good guy and you''re one of the best fucking fighters I have seen. You took on big Max like it was nothing, we could use someone with your skillset. You see, I had no choice. That fucker forced me to do this disgusting shit!" John cussed out loud.


    He looked visibly angry but Sam was beginning to understand why he kept him alive.


    It was simple, it was because he found a new man to render his services to but what did he mean by ''we''?


    Sam was aware that they had another person with them but he didn''t know the full details regarding this.


    "It''s a good thing I came along then." Sam joked, this man wasn''t shaken despite taking a life meaning he had experience in this.


    Sam was making observations throughout and he knew something was off about his story.


    "Fuck yeah!" John responded and the men focused on the weapons.


    They gathered as much ammunition as possible including weapons but Sam didn''t know what to do with John.


    "Where are you headed after this?" Sam asked John as both men were armed to the teeth.


    "Me? I think I will go find a broad to stick my dick in, I have just thedy to wet my dick with," John was vulgar with his words but Sam''s eyes slightly narrowed.


    He liked that John was talkative, which was good because this way it would be easy to get the information needed.


    "Hahaha! I cannot remember thest time I fucked someone," Sam blurted out, he needed to match John''s energy to strike some sort of connection with the man.


    "Damn! I have just the girl! I can promise you, she can definitely handle two dicks at once and that is me being nice. You feel me?" John said and Sam''s eyes lit up the moment he heard this.


    "For real!? Who is she? I have a type though. It might sound weird but I like girls that are manly-looking," Sam said with an embarrassed face and an awkward silence followed.


    John looked him right in the eyes and Sam hoped he hadn''t caught on but if he did, he was ready to dispatch him to the afterlife.


    "Fuck! Trust me! The girl we will be fucking has all the muscles you can handle!" John reassured him.


    "I see, so these are the men after her..." Sam thought to himself, his acting was impable and he extorted the information he was looking for by ying the fool.


    Sam also knew that this man might be the key to getting to the settlement that Be spoke about but he had a decision to make.


    -


    Clementine, amidst her thought, a gunshot echoed in the distance. Due to the baby not making a sound; the zombies no longer had a reason to be saturated here and they began walking in the direction of the gunshot but the dogs bolted on all fours like vicious beasts.


    They left the other zombies behind but this was good for Clementine, she didn''t need to do anything to get out of this situation because it had resolved itself.


    "Sam, you better be fine!" Clementine said under her breath because the gunshot wasing from that direction.


    She knew that Sam could handle himself and that was why she wasn''t about to worry about him but she also thought that the gunshot was to signify that he had gotten the guns.


    In which case, Clementine had to get the hell out of her, thanks to the baby being in the womb of a zombie, the other zombies couldn''t perceive it and she didn''t need to cover it in the guts of zombies but she didn''t know what to do with the boy.


    She wondered if that was why the dogs were so vicious, were they reacting to him?


    There was no way that this boy was immune to the virus but Clementine owed it to herself to find out just what he was.

 Chapter 45: Return To Base!

    <h4>Chapter 45: Return To Base!</h4>


    Sam and John were a team or at least for the duration of this period as their survival was their priority and Sam knew he had a better chance at that if he teamed up with John.


    "We are all done here," John muttered, packing the duffel bag and strapping it across his shoulder and Sam followed suit.


    John took note of the amount of weapon that Sam had taken, it was a bit too much for just two people but John didn''t think too much about this.


    Both men stepped outside but they heard the dogs charging at them with such ferocity.


    San instinctively knew why they were there, it was because of the gunshot.


    He looked over at John but John didn''t even look worried about this instead, he had a grin on his face because he was ready for the dogs.


    Sam exhaled, he wasn''t panicked because he had more than enough ammunition to put down the dogs.


    Luckily, he retained his gun and this meant he had silencers but John noticed this.


    Silencers were hard toe by and the fact that John had it with a military standard pistol included how well he fought.


    John might not be the sharpest tool in the shed but he could give an educated guess about who he was.


    Sam expertly killed the dogs by dumping one bullet in each of their head, the uracy was uncanny and John knew from that distance that even he couldn''t aplish what Sam had just done. The dogs weren''t a threat when guns were involved, just as expected.


    Guns gave them the advantage as opposed to using melee weapons and the dogs'' carcass became motionless.


    "Woah! That is some sick-ass uracy man! Are you in the army or something!?" John praised him and while this might look like an innocent question Sam knew better than to answer him honestly.


    "I did some shooting with my old man, he was an army officer so you could say I picked up a few things from him," Sam responded with an embarrassed smile, he looked flushed.


    "Should we wait for your partner?" John asked, quickly changing the subject.


    "There''s no point in doing that, they will meet us at the rendezvous spot," Sam said, dismissing the need to wait for Clementine as he intentionally excluded her gender.


    "How about we rest up in that rendezvous spot? My feet are killing me and we need a safe space to rest up," John proposed.


    "Bait taken..." Sam thought to himself, he knew that John didn''t trust him and by giving him an idea of a base, there was no way that John wouldn''t want to see where they stayed.


    Sam knew exactly who he was so this made how he approached the situation a lot easier.


    "You''re right, we should head back, we''re holed up at a motel," Sam said and John thought this man was stupid for revealing this information to him.


    Unknown to John, he was the one dancing on the palm of Sam''s hand, Sam was manipting his very actions. Each decision that John made was influenced by Sam.


    Sam was killing two birds with one stone because this way, John was unknowingly helping Sam carry the weapons he thought were his back to the hotel.


    He knew that things could go south as well but he was ready for that possibility.


    He hoped that John wouldn''t do anything stupid that would escte the situation but Sam wasn''t so worried because this was their chance to capture this man and interrogate him to get the location of the main camp.


    Sam couldn''t trust Be, she kept this hidden from her main group and only revealed this information after her security was secured.


    This told Sam that Be was a girl that would do anything that would guarantee her safety.


    -


    Clementine exited the building with the baby wrapped in her arms and luckily for her, the boy had regained consciousness but he wasn''t talking.


    She held him by the hand and they began walking side by side.


    The silence was loud but this meant that she couldn''t head back to Sam or she risked putting them in direct line of fire of whatever was going on.


    Clementine knew one thing about Sam and that was no one could pose a threat to him because unlike her, he has actually been deployed to fight in the Middle East.


    She could trust him to handle himself and maybe the gunshot was for her to stay away entirely.


    There were so many interpretations but Clementine was going to trust her gut.


    She had to take the kids back with her, especially the boy because she didn''t understand if the bite mark was even from a zombie but she couldn''t rule out that fact.


    Clementine might have just made the biggest breakthrough, one that could potentially save humanity if her theory was right.


    "Mama?" The thirteen-year-old boy said as he looked up at Clementine.


    She wasn''t sure but it was like the boy couldn''t see clearly, he was squinting his eyes.


    "Do you need sses?" Clementine asked and the boy nodded.


    She was happy that he was responsive unlike before, she wanted to ask him how he got that bite but she didn''t want him to be on guard.


    She had to establish some form of trust first before attempting to get any information out of him.


    Clementine was relieved that she hade this far or these children would very well be dead.


    She was headed back to the motel but she was worried that whoever did this might be watching her so this made her go off the road to make it harder for her to be followed.


    Clementine hoped that the baby wouldn''t cry because if it came to saving the baby or dying, she would choose to save herself. After all, if she died, the baby would die soon after so it would be pointless sacrificing herself if the baby would die either way.


    Clementine knew that her morals would be tested, this world was cold but she had to do everything she could do to survive.

 Chapter 46: AI Conversation

    <h4>Chapter 46: AI Conversation</h4>


    Be was sleeping once again but who could me her? Jason had just dicked her down.


    But Jason was left with his thoughts, he sat up on the bed and wondered what sort of world this was. What kind of future awaited them?


    Was this all there was to life? Live until they''re devoured by zombies.


    [Ding!]


    [Mental Condition Status Changed!]


    [Are You Okay, Jason?]


    Chronos asked and this surprised Jason because Chronos had never spoken to him as an individual before as long as it doesn''t pertain to a quest.


    "What? Of course, I''m not... I don''t know what to do right now, I feel empty..." Jason thought to himself, he couldn''t help it because he no longer had a distraction.


    He had to face reality and he didn''t like it but he also felt that this might awaken something dark in him as he already had blood on his hand.


    [Error: A Human Body Is Made Up Of 78 Organs!]


    Chronos responded and Jason cringed the moment he heard because he didn''t understand how this had to do with anything.


    "And they said AI is the future. Chronos, you''re stupid as fuck!" Jason thought to himself but this was his way ofmunicating with Chronos.


    [Chronos Has A Sense Of Humor Too! Do You Want To Talk About It?]


    Chronos was showing a side of itself that Jason didn''t even know existed.


    Jason chuckled the moment he heard this, he didn''t know that Chronos was this versatile but now he understood why his character temte had a stat for mental state.


    Perhaps, this was the reason Chronos acted as a therapist of some sort.


    "I don''t know what is wrong so how can I talk about it?" Jason responded, he sounded irritated because how couldn''t he know what was wrong with him?


    [Chronos Rmends You Talk To Rachel!]


    "Huh? Rachel? Why the hell will I talk to Rachel about this?" Jason responded.


    "Chronos Has Detected That Your Dopamine Levels Peaks When You Are Talking To Her!]


    Chronos responded and this prompted Jason to raise a brow in disbelief.


    He couldn''t believe what he was hearing, what was Chronos insinuating by this?


    "Why the fuck will I talk to Rachel?" Jason responded in denial but Chronos was right.


    Jason felt at peace with Rachel and this was why he could confide in her about his problems.


    He wasn''t having sex with her yet he could only show her a form of emotional vulnerability that he couldn''t even show to the girl he was fucking.


    "Ha! Maybe you do have a point..." Jason thought to himself, rethinking his earlier answer.


    "But I don''t think that is why I''m empty... What can I do to feel driven or have a purpose... I killed a man today and I feel like absolute shit," Jason thought to himself.


    [You Do Have A Purpose!]


    Chronos responded, Jason wondered why all his responses had an exmation mark but it didn''t matter as long as he got his message across.


    If someone told Jason that he would be having a mental conversation with some AI in his mind, he would have called them crazy.


    "What?" Jason asked reluctantly.


    [Protect Those You Care About! Protect Yourself!]


    Chronos responded and Jason sighed, this was one of the most cliche answers he had heard all day.


    "And what if you ask me to kill them?" Jason asked because he knew certain decisions were not up to him. After all, Chronos had already made him stain his hands with the innocent blood of a child even though he didn''t do it directly.


    [Chronos Only Eliminates Threats Or Potential Threats!]


    Chronos responded but this was bullshit, there was no way a harmless kid could be a threat and Chronos even once presented the option of abandoning Clementine to save his skin.


    Jason was yet to figure out its angle but he wasn''t toofortable with everything that was going on.


    Chronos told him he had to save the world or was it to survive?


    What was the main objective of all of this so far, Chronos hasn''t given him an end goal or hints on how Jason should save the world.


    Chronos didn''t force Jason to do anything he didn''t want to do, Jason had 100% control over his choices as long as he was ready to incur the penalties.


    "Thanks, Chronos... For being useless that is..." Jason said but something quickly crept up in his mind. He had a question he wanted to ask.


    "So tell me Chronos. Am I the only one with a system?" Jason asked but he got no response from Chronos.


    This has been a question on Jason''s mind because if he wasn''t the only one then it sort of removes the uniqueness of Chronos.


    And Chronos'' reluctance to answer didn''t ease his paranoia because he had no reason not to answer such a simple question.


    Jason was surprised that the day had flown by, the sun would set soon and he knew that if it did without Clementine or Sam returning then it would be safe to assume that they abandoned them even though he didn''t like the thought of that, he had no other choice than to entertain it.


    Jason was making an educated guess here but he couldn''t help but wonder what Rachel was doing. They have been in their room throughout today, they hadn''t evene out for fresh air but that is to be expected, it has been an exhausting couple of days.


    They needed to catch their breath and he understood, he too needed to rest but he couldn''t close his eyes for some reason.


    He took a step outside to take in some fresh air, he had to be on guard so thedies could rest, this was his duty as a man for the traditional roles were slowly creeping back into humanity.


    Jason didn''t know if other humans might have the same idea as they did to take refuge in a motel or if a stray zombie would find its way here.


    So far, Jason wasn''t worried about the zombies because they were slow and he could handle them if it came to it but what he worried about were the dogs and other animals that could potentially be infected.


    "Huh? Is that...?" Jason thought as he saw Clementine in the distance with two kids, this was thest thing they needed, more mouths to feed but Jason also knew that this act meant that Clementine still had her humanity intact so he had mixed feelings about it but where was Sam?

 Chapter 47: Countdown

    <h4>Chapter 47: Countdown</h4>


    "Clementine?" Jason muttered to himself as he looked around for Sam but he couldn''t establish any visuals on him.


    Jason ran down the stairs to have a better understanding of the situation because he didn''t like being left in the dark.


    Clementine was relieved to see Jason as it meant that they were safe.


    She also knew that Jason might require an exnation for why she went out in the first ce even though she owed him no exnation.


    "Clementine, I''m d you''re safe but who are these kids?" Jason asked and the boy clutched Clemenitne''s hand even tighter due to Jason''s imposing figure.


    He was frightened and Clementine noticed this, Jason was the most harmless person among all of them even though Sam briefed her on what he did on their earlier run.


    She respected that Jason stained his hand for the sake of Sam, this made her respect him as a man.


    "Last I checked, it takes nine months to make a baby!" Jason eximed, this was a joke that was meant to make the kid warm up to him but the boy was lost.


    Though, Clementine found this funny and gave him a faint smile; this was the least of their problems right now.


    "Where is Sam?" Jason asked as he could tell that his joke could use some work even with his skill.


    "What do you mean? He isn''t back?" Clementine questioned, she looked slightly worried because Sam should arrive before her seeing as they took the shorter route.


    She had to take the longer route because of the prospect of running into zombies or the people that ughtered that woman so gruesomely.


    She couldn''t afford to expose these children to such danger because she didn''t even have a weapon on her. What she could do was severely limited.


    "Nope, I haven''t told the others that you went out too," Jason responded and this surprised Clementine, he had no reason to have their back.


    "Thanks, Sam and I didn''t want to make any of you worry..." Clementine responded, she knew that if there was anyone that would survive, it would be Sam.


    She had to believe in him but she knew that Jason had their back.


    She took the kids to her room with Jason following behind her like a dutiful lover but in actuality, Jason was simply staring at her ass.


    It was clear that this mixed girl had the genes of her ancestors because that ass was phat.


    Jason could imagine how it would feel with those ass cheeks recoiling against his lower torso.


    Jason had to get his thoughts in check and he was d that he didn''t make a mess out of her panties as he was the only one present there so it would be easy to pick him out as the person responsible.


    Clementineid the baby gently on the bed and instructed the child to watch the toddler which he had no problems doing as this was his younger brother.


    She stepped outside with Jason, Jason followed behind her once again to admire the back view.


    Clementine proceeded to exin why she and Sam went out; it made a lot more sense.


    This was essential to their survival, they needed weapons to survive and more so because Be had brought the devil right to their doorstep.


    "But there''s one more thing..." Clementine said and Jason wondered what else she needed to tell him.


    "What is it?" Jason asked and Clementine looked hesitant to tell him.


    "We n to go to the settlement that Be spoke about. This is part of the reason that we went to get those guns. We will go to the main camp from there, we hope that it is safe enough to drop you guys there," Clementine said and this confused Jason because he thought that they were going to stick together but now he was hearing that they nned to drop them off wherever.


    "Why can''t you stay? Wouldn''t it be safer if you did?" Jason asked, he was hopeful that her answer would change as it would be a shame to lose such a beauty.


    "I''m afraid we have to return to base to receive our nextmand," Clementine said.


    "Look around you, Clementine. The world has gone to shit, you don''t even know if the base is still standing! You''re gambling your life on probability?" Jason asked but Clementine''s eyes squinted.


    "It almost sounds like you''re worried about me?" Clementine teased but Jason''s face didn''t change.


    "So what if I am?" Jason responded and Clementine fell silent for a second, she thought that Jason was messing around initially but he maintained his stance.


    "Clementine. We have a better chance of survival if we stick together because if this camp isn''t as they say, what next? We aren''t kids that need babysitting so why do you think that this is something you need to take upon yourself?" Jason said sternly.


    Clementine thought this man was spineless but his words were making a lot of sense, the chain ofmand was the one thing that they had at a chance of maintaining order.


    If they abandon their post then this would mean that they were giving up on the world.


    If they did that then what was left? Humanity will be doomed but Clementine had even more reason to return to the base. They just might have a chance at a cure if they could figure out why this boy wasn''t infected.


    The only way this could be done was if she went to the base, if she didn''t have a reason to go before then now she did but would things go ording to n?


    [Ding!]


    [Quest Received!]


    Jason rolled his eyes but he wouldn''t mind if the quest was about fucking Clementine because he would be lying if he said he didn''t think about it.


    He was getting ahead of himself because he understood how twisted Chronos was, he had already made him do some heinous things.


    [Kill The Boy!]


    Chronos informed Jason and Jason didn''t even look surprised anymore but there was something different with this quest. It had a timer and what it read was.


    [Timer: 47:59:59!]
