Chapter 188: To the School (1/2)

The man nodded his head as he started to walk in front of Maximo. His movements were a bit stiff and were a little off. He seems to be uncomfortable or uneasy about something.

His fingers were flicking as if he was clicking for something. Nile shrugged his shoulder seeing the scene, thinking that it was due to fear of encountering a zombie.

Maybe due to his nervousness, the man keeps on talking along the way. He talked about his name, age, and some bits of information about his daughter and the place they were going.

Apparently, his daughter had just started on her high school days when the pandemic and then the apocalypse started. He said that his wife had become a zombie and he could do nothing other than to kill her just to survive.

After two months, he braced himself and decided to search for his daughter at the school she went to.

Hearing his story, Nile had more or less understood the situation. He put his guard even tighter as he keeps an eye on the System Map inside his head.

After a few more minutes of slow walking, Nile could finally see the school premises in the distance.

Unlike the area around it, the school still has some spaces that have not been invaded by the trees. It has an open area that he guessed must be the playing field of the students before the apocalypse.

He took a peek at the System Map and didn't spot any dots around him aside from the man and his two pets. Seeing that, he already concluded that there's only a low possibility that a zombie would appear in here.

”We're here. I don't think my business was still here, so I'm gonna leave now.” Nile said.

The man was taken aback, and he seems to be awakened from a momentary daze. ”Uhmm… could you stay a bit longer mister? I don't have a good feeling around here.”

Nile clicked his tongue and scrutinized his brows after hearing the man's plea. ”I'll let it go seeing that you still have not done the act, so don't bother me anymore, unless you want to dig your own grave.”

He felt that he was pretty lenient today, maybe because one of his pets just evolved? Or maybe because he just managed to harvest a good food supply earlier, preventing him from buying for their meals with apocalypse points?

”What are you talking about, mist-” The man was about to reason when his words were cut short.

More than five figures started descending from a tree, a few meters away from them.

Instantly, the five figures move like lightning and close the distance between them in an instant.

They surrounded the man and Nile as they pointed their cold weapons towards them.

”Sigh! Forget it!” Nile said as he prepared for the incoming fight.

”This is a big catch, this should be able to last us a couple of days.” One of the men said. He was holding a baseball bat with a blade inserted on the top of it. The baseball bat has the color of red. Nile guessed that it was due to blood.

”I agree… We should save our food supplies from now on. Those bastards from the two factions are getting unscrupulous, how dare they snatch our catch the other day?” One of the men with braided hair said indignantly.

Due to the sudden emergence of the mutated animals from the other day, the group was overjoyed as they thought that they would no longer need to search hard just to search for meats to eat.
