42 City Hall (2/2)

Jun have considered a lot of things for this. He isn't risking his life for a mere carbon alloy shield that could get stolen by someone or get scrapped when the item receives too much damage and become unusable.

There's two main reasons why he's doing this. The first and obvious reason was to get as much EXP as they could while having a valid reason to do so. People would surely be dissatisfied if he openly forbid them to take part, and so their was a main group and the support group.

Things can sound reasonable if you phrased them correctly.

He explained that the main group will fight first and any infected that goes past them should be dealt with by the support group, that's why they're the support group, the backup.

When the main group gets exhausted, the support group would then swap with them and fight in front. But when they're not, they have to loot the dead bodies.

This strategy was accepted without any questions. Some members of the support group were actually happy that they don't have to fight the infected.

The second reason that Jun was risking his life was because of Old John. People don't know but Jun knew his secrets. It was all thanks to Evo's help doing some research.

They were doing background checks on Old John, which is normal when taking new clients, when they found something interesting. His family was once a reknowned blacksmith. Though times had changed, their products were still being sold and used for artistic purposes.

When Jun fired a shotgun at the Hunter infected, named by Edward, and it didn't die. He knew. That guns would become useless after some time. That Hunter seemed to have evolved a few more times compared to others since its body and skin were completely different. Luckily, they haven't met a Destroyer that evolved up to that level and the one he killed yesterday seemed to be a lower ranked one.

With the infected evolving and guns starting to show signs of being ineffective on evolved infecteds, he need to think of something for them to survive in this new world. And the one he thought of is making weapons and armors for them to use, in short blacksmithing.

Remember the bones of that Hunter? It was so durable that it didn't even got scratched by a shotgun fired at point blank.

If they could use those bones as weapons, wouldn't that be wonderful? The problem would be on how they could manufacture them, but that problem is not his concern anymore.

When there was no more infected coming in, they finally relaxed. The main group didn't even request a switch since they weren't even feeling exhausted.

Everyone leveled up by one and distributed their points however they liked.

Jun put his two points into power, which now reached 17 points. The lobby was filled with pools of blood but there were no bodies to be seen.

Adrian and Jun walked out of the motel. They did a full survey of the surroundings to make sure that there's no more groups of infected before inviting everyone out.

”Let's go.” Jun said, walking confidently towards the city halls direction.

They regularly encountered groups of infected. Most of the groups have atleast five infected in them.

After the repeated fighting, the group fought fluently and more effectively. Their roles started to become obvious as most of the female chose to loot the dead bodies while the men fought.

Besides the scattered infected on the distance, theres only trash and abandoned cars to be seen on the streets.

After walking ten more minutes, they stopped.

The national highway is filled with hordes of infected. There's no gaps between them as the infected brushed on each others shoulders as they walk.

Suddenly, gunfires echoed in the area. The sound coming from the right, where the city hall is located.
