131 What to do? (1/2)

As soon as he got out of the encirclement Linri looked around for a direction to escape. As far as his eyes could see the place was crawling by zombies. Okay, so how do you escape zombies? Usually, they are slow and you can easily run away from them. At least those were the type he encountered in the dream world but they were skeletons. He randomly selected a zombie to inspect its stats.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Name: [Areathy Revane(?)]

Prana: 0 / 200

PrimaryAbility: [None]

-------------------------------------------------------------

Thankfully their speed-related stats were lower than his... at least on the surface. After what had happened with Zero, Linri knew that he could not trust this cursed thing. On the other hand, it seems like these students really were dead. At least from what he remembered Areathy's attributes shouldn't be like this. Her Spirit related stats ere too low. In the club, Spirit attribute symbolised three different things. First of all, your maximum prana capacity. Secondly, your willpower and lastly your intelligence. Again your character is only as smart as you are, so this intelligence represented how fast they can learn a new subject.

Just to be sure Linri appraised another zombie before continuing to run at full speed. Their stats were the same so it was safe to assume that they all had the same attributes. Okay, so they were not fast. Well, at least not as fast as him. So how can you escape from a zombie chase? Leave the school? That's certainly a good idea. He could use the forest as a cover while running away and he could even start a forest fire and annihilate everything. Though that would take some time, I mean it was not like once a tree started to burn the whole forest would catch fire immediately.

So Linri did just that and ran towards the main gates. When he was about to take the path heading down-hill, zombies jumped out behind the trees. They really liked this tricks those bastards! He was about to have a heart attack because of them. He was not even 40 yet!

Linri changed his direction once again. He would not be able to escape the school so what else can he do? What do people do in disasters? Hide inside bunkers? Well, the school technically had a bunker but it was inside the school and he was sure that it was infested by now.

What else do they do in case of emergencies? Call the police? Like that would help! Plunder stores? Nope, that was still not it, though he would not mind playing the bandit and steal all those attribute boosters. Go into the high ground! Yes, he could go to the school rooftop and barricade the door but that was only a temporary solution. Still, it would at least give him time to analyse his situation and come up with a plan of escape.

By the time he had made this decision, he was already running towards the main gate.

\”Umm, where are we going?\” Oh yeah, she was still here. Linri wondered if he should just throw her to the zombies as a distraction. She did not do anything besides bringing him trouble, this way at least she would be somewhat useful.

\”To the rooftop\” Linri said as he dodged from a zombie's claws. He was getting tired and he needed to reach there as fast as he could. It did not help that he was carrying another person too. Thankfully, she was on the lighter side. Linri would definitely throw her if she was fat. No, this was not fat-shaming! He did not have the stamina to carry someone heavy and he would definitely not risk his life for them by staying behind. And if you were to say 'what should she die just because she was fat?', his answer would be 'Yes, yes she should!'. He did not have any responsibility to help her. His own life came first. Call him a scumbag, hypocrite or whatever you wanted. No one would help another person in danger unless you were a blood relative. As for the ones who do, they always end up dead! Well, not always but you catch the drift.

He also couldn't help but curse at that damn skeleton bastard. Couldn't he have found a better time to attack? I mean he was the god of death and all but still! Wait, if this was really Udcek's attack where was he? Did he have to kill all these zombies before encountering the last boss? I mean it was a fact that he would not be able to escape here.

Autumnfall was private property and no one would come to his aid. Even if he hid on the rooftop so what? Were the zombies going to magically disappear? Hell no! They would not leave until they killed him. Then Linri looked at Natsumi in his arms. He could understand the fact that he was not affected by Udcek's magic but why was she still fine and not like the others?
