67 Im Learning (2/2)

Priscilla looked left and right the corridors before opening the faculty room. The place was clean and neat, but the bookshelves were empty. She called out but no one answered. She searched every cubicle but failed to find anyone.

”Shouldn't we help them?” Sheila asked Jun.

They were currently walking towards the gate of the University. They fought through a group of infected as they go out, due to the noise created by the gunshots. There were two ways to exit the building, the way they came from and the one were the infected were coming from.

Jun chose the latter since it there was no evolved infected. Earning more experience as much as possible shouldn't be a bad thing.

”We already helped them. The place is clear and it should be safe for them to come out on their own.”

Jun doesn't like baby sitting. He assigns tasks like this to his subordinates.

Most of the infected they encountered were killed, so it's not his problem if those people can't defend themselves on their own. Jun thought that since they were able to survive for days on their own, they should be somewhat capable.

As they exited the gates, Edward took one last glance at the University. Though he wasn't emotionally or spiritually attached to the University, he couldn't help himself but feel nostalgic about the past when he was still studying here. It was only a few days, but he felt like it was already a year. Now that he think he about it, where could his friends be? Are they safe? He silently wished for them to be safe or doing well.

Jun searched the parked cars on the road side for their keys. Of course, he wouldn't find any. Why would a car owner leave their keys inside their cars. He then moved on and checked the cars that were involved in an accident. He looked through the car's window and finally found one. A black SUV that crashed onto a white Honda sedan.

Jun tried opening the door but it was locked. He then broke the window using his shield. He stored his weapons into his dimensional storage as he climb on the car.

Edward and Sheila rode in the backseat making Jun shook his head at how his subordinates was treating him. When you look at the two comfortably sitting at the backseat, you would be given the impression of a youthful woman and a dashing man. On the other hand, he looked like he was the driver of a wealthy family.

Jun turned the key and the car came to life. The fuel meter reach the highest possible number then slowly went down towards the middle. He then turned towards the right, looking for the gear shift. When he couldn't find it, he just thought that this car runs on automatic by default.

Jun stepped randomly on one of the pedals and the car accelerated forward, grinding the sedan's trunk, pushing it forward while causing screeching noises.

The SUV shook and slid to the side passing a few other cars, dodging them by a hairs breadth. Jun pulled his feet back up then stepped on another pedal, which happened to be the one responsible for the brakes.

The SUV halted in the middle of the road and the two passengers at the back flew forward, hitting their faces towards the back of the front seats.

Edward and Sheila massage their faces as they leaned back on their seats.

”You know how to drive, right?” Sheila nervously asked.

Jun looked at the rear view mirror with a naughty grin on his face. ”No, but I'm learning.”

The two at the back hurriedly wore their seat belts.

The SUV would move forward, then would stop after almost hitting an abandoned car. A shrill screams could be heard from the car's backseat.
