Nathan was running through a neighborhood while still carrying Zita on his arms.
He glanced behind him.
'No one is following...'
'Am I really on the clear...?'
'No...'
'I still need more distance just in case...'
He returned his gaze forward
Up ahead, there were two zombies.
'D1 and an N-type zombie...'
'I don't have time for this...!'
He changed his direction.
Roar!
Roar!
Unfortunately, the zombies noticed him and they roared before chasing him.
Nathan ignored them and continued running at full speed.
The two zombies were no match against his speed that the distance between them was only growing by the second.
”ROAR!” the N-type roared.
Roar!
Roar!
A series of roars came from a distance but in different locations.
”Tch!”
Nathan made a cl.i.c.k.i.n.g sound with his tongue as he heard the roars.
”Mister, there's an M2 up in the air behind us!” Zita said in a somewhat muffled voice because she had five Healing Packets inside her mouth.
Her head was over Nathan's left shoulder so she was able to see the zombie.
'F.u.c.k me sideways...!' Nathan cursed inside his head.
He decided to find an open space where he could fight all the zombies.
***
Roar!
Roar!
In less than a minute, there were already eight zombies chasing them.
Fortunately, Nathan was also able to find an open area.
It was a park.
He rushed to the middle of the park before putting Zita down.
He didn't bother talking, let alone discussing anything with her.
He just turned around and rushed to the zombies immediately.
Clap.
He finally got to the zombies.
Roar!
Roar!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
He cut down two S1s and one [Green] Treasure C.h.e.s.t appeared.
However, he didn't stop and immediately activated [Coward's Way] this time around before charging to face the remaining zombies.
Whoosh!
He cut down an N1 and lost his invisibility before activating his skill once again.
An N2 threw a [Stone Spear] where Nathan was last seen.
Whoosh!
A blade of a sword sliced through the N2's neck and a [Blue] Treasure C.h.e.s.t appeared.
Roar!
An N1 pounced at Nathan.
Woooh!
Suuup!
Thud!
A Bolt came flying and shot through the side of its head in mid-air, causing its leap attack to change trajectory and land on the ground.
Wooh!
Wooh!
Wooh!
Suuup!
Suuup!
Suuup!
Nathan was above to finish the N1 when Zita shouted, ”Mister, above you! Watch out!”
An M2 up in the air with a bolt stuck on its neck threw a [Fireball] at him.
Nathan rolled over to the side to avoid the [Fireball].
Boom!
The [Fireball] hit the grass and exploded, spreading its flames around the area of its explosion for a few seconds before finally disappearing.
Nathan ignored the M2 and went for the other zombies.
The M2 was about to throw another spell when…
Wooh!
Suuup!
”Roar!” the M2 yelped as it was struck in the head with a Bolt before it began falling from the sky.
Bam!
It finally landed on the ground.
Whoosh!
Nathan just finished killing the last D1.
He summoned his weapons back into his [Artifact] Gold Spatial Finger and went to Zita right away who was about to go and open the treasure c.h.e.s.ts.
”Come on,” he said as he scooped her in his arms.
”Mister, my Bolts. I haven't yet --”
”Forget about it,” he said and then ran.
Voooooom!

Nathan and Zita arrived in front of a three-story office building.
He put her down before summoning a pair of thermal vision goggles and wore it.
He looked around his surroundings.
'Still no one…'
'I still don't hear helicopters either…'
He removed his thermal vision goggles and summoned them back before turning to Zita.
”Stay behind me and keep your eyes peeled and your ears open,” he said before entering the building.
”Yes, mister,” Zita said and followed suit.
Roar!
About a dozen meters away from Nathan and Zita were standing, a zombie came out from the side of a building and roared before charging.
Roar!
Roar!
Roar!
It was followed by another group of roars.
Nathan and Zita stopped and looked at the zombie coming at them.
'Skinny… And based on its speed, it's an S1...' Nathan thought.
The other zombies that roared earlier came into vision as well and were behind the S1.
”Wait here,” Nathan said as he summoned a [Grade D] Great Sword this time around and then charged at the zombies.
He wasn't invisible. So when he got close to the S1, the zombie immediately lunged at him.
Roar!
Nathan activated [Coward's Way] and sidestepped before cutting the S1 down.
Whoosh!
He lost his invisibility and activated it once more before dealing with the other remaining zombies.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
