67 Night Hun (1/2)
Ashleigh and Derek were standing beside Rose.
Rose swept her gaze over the people standing in front of her before landing her sights on Team 5.
Nathan wasn't there.
According to the reports she received, Nathan was last seen standing outside of the manor after jumping from the third floor. After that, nobody has seen him.
They also checked his room and found the radio.
With that, based on Nathan's personality, she could only guess two things where he was.
One - He left to search for the Divine Tower.
Two - He's waiting in the dark for something.
”My fellow brothers and sisters, some of you here may already know what had happened. But for the sake of clarity, I will explain everything to you all,” said Rose.
Everyone quieted down and listened.
”I believe everyone here has received the messages from the System. Unfortunately, we are facing an unexpected threat. The captured 50 zombies kept inside the Training Facility in the Southeast of this town evolved into 3m-tall type zombies and are wreaking havoc as we speak.”
Many people, especially the normal guards gasped in cold air. They started to worry and some even wanted to run away.
But who could blame them?
To the normal guards, not only did they have limited light source due to the loss of electricity and are merely relying on emergency lamps and flashlights, but they also had to fight 50 3m-tall zombies?
Forget about 50 3m-tall zombies, even killing one 3m-tall zombie without the use of high powered guns wasn't an easy task during day time. Not everyone was like Derek who had high Str and Vit or Rose who could transform into crystal and alter the shape of her arms and legs.
In the case of Rose, she had no plans back down from the 3m-tall zombies that were currently wreaking havoc in the Southeast of Haven Town.
To her, it's times like these as to why she increased her level, and set up this base and army. She will only abandon Haven Town once it becomes a fight that was impossible to win.
”But there is no need to worry, my fellow brothers and sisters! We have already developed a full-proof plan to immediately contain the situation! ”
When they heard that Rose has developed a full-proof plan, some of their worries eased.
”Scavenger Teams, listen up!”
The Scavenger Teams stood in attention.
”Teams 1, 2, 3 and 4 will head directly to the Training Facility.”
This batch will have Rose and Ashleigh.
”Teams 5, 6 and 7 will start from the South Gate and then make their way to the Training Facility.”
This batch was supposed to have Nathan.

”Teams 8, 9 and 10 will start from the East Gate and make their way to the Training Facility as well.”
This batch will have Derek.
”As for those who aren't part of the Scavenger Teams, you will be scattered across town to provide support and maintain order. Remember, we need to work together in order to protect our family and friends!”
”Yes, Boss!”
With the absence of Nathan, she had to no choice but to group teams 1 – 4 together if she wanted to keep Ashleigh safe with her.
To her, aside from her family members, Ashleigh's life was more important compared to the other Scavenger team members because of her powers.
She initially planned to have Team 2 on standby. However, to her surprise, Ashleigh flat-out rejected it and demanded to participate in heading towards the Training Facility.
As for the reason of Ashleigh's actions, Rose suspected that it was perhaps due to her experience with Nathan this afternoon.
After witnessing her teammates unmercifully getting beaten up by Nathan in front of her and doing nothing despite also being a Chosen One herself, she felt guilty and wanted to redeem herself.
Someone started clapping.
Clap!
Clap!
Clap!
It was then followed by a man's voice.
”Heh~ So teams 5 to 7 will combine?”
A man appeared in front of Team 5 and everyone's eyes were on him.
It was, of course, none other than the beloved captain of Team 5, Nathan.
”Nathan, I'm glad to see you. I was worried about having you scout in advance for us at the Training Facility. I trust everything is okay?” said Rose.
Nathan raised an eyebrow before finally realizing what Rose was trying to do.
”Ah yes. Based on what I've seen back there, we can easily take those 3m-tall zombies with that full-proof plan of yours as long we work together.”
Rose looked away from Nathan and stared at the rest of the members.
”Did he hear that my fellow brothers and sisters?! There is no need to fear! With our full-proof plan combined with strength and numbers, we can easily take down those 50 3m-tall zombies with ease! I hereby commence operation Night Hunt!”
”Yeah!”
Everyone let out a war cry and raised their weapons up in the air except for a handful of people who were aware of what Rose and Nathan just did.
Among them were Derek and Ashleigh.
Nathan stared at Rose's outfit for a moment. This is actually the first time he saw her fully geared with System items. As for her weapons, she was carrying a shield and sword on hand, and a handgun and extra clips on her waist.
The normal guards started heading out to their assigned positions as soon as they were given orders.
As for the Scavenger Teams, they grouped up with their assigned teams first before heading to their designated positions.
Everyone was armed to the teeth, carrying both System and non-System items such as guns. And compared to the normal guards, all members of the Scavenger Teams were wearing night/thermal vision goggles.
Nathan stood with the members of Team 5, waiting for teams 6 and 7 to approach him.
He yawned.
An old man in his 50s approached him.
”Captain Nathan, I am Chet, the captain of Team 7. I look forward to working with you.”
Nathan only spared him a glance before replying with a bored tone, ”Yeah, sure.”
What he failed to recognize was that this old man was one of Rose's uncles.
The next person who approached was a woman in her 30s.
”I am the first lieutenant and acting captain of Team 6, R.R. I look forward to working with you all.”
Rose was the official captain of Scavenger Team 1 and 6. Unlike the other teams, these two teams have a first and second lieutenant.
