15 The Difference Between Levels (1/2)

Despite the good news he just received, Luna calmed himself down, he looked at the two people they just saved and noticed that they both had name tags on. The woman looked like she was half Filipina and half Caucasian, her male counterpart had healthy brown skin.

”Dr. Torre.” Noticing that they both had the same last name he could only guess that they were a couple.

”Yes, sir. Thank you for saving our lives, we're forever in your debt.” They both slightly bowed as a sign of gratitude.

Gesturing for that there was no need for such formalities Luna replied ”There's no need for that, you two. Everybody in the Philippines knows of the family behind one of the Philippines' best hospital. Were you two in there all this time?”

The Riverside Hospital, also responsible for the Riverside College, were owned by the Torre family.

”Yes. During the night of the attack, we were still working, we managed to kill the zombies that spawned beside us, but.. when we saw the people we were taking care of running towards us, we didn't quite have it in us to 'kill' them. So we cleared the rooftop, and brought whatever supplies we could, with us. We saw you tearing through those zombies, and we knew it was our only chance. I apologize, we didn't mean to lure that behemoth towards you.”

”No issue. He ended up as nourishment in the end.” Luna assured them. He then gave them a choice, they could either stay with him and journey to the Government evacuation area when it was safe, or join his <Nation>. After having their lives saved, the two felt grateful, and decided to join the <Sovereign Nation>.

Luna then proceeded to power-level them to level 10. He believed that level 10 would be the minimum requirement for survival in this new world, very soon. Luna hadn't known it yet, but the two he saved today, would pave the way for a huge majority of the future Doctors within his <Nation.>, more after that, they would later become famous as the Combat Doctors of the <Sovereign Nation.> Healing the injured, and eliminating the infection known as the zombie apocalypse.

After giving the two of them, their pair of Itak Tagalogs, Luna signaled everyone to start falling back to their home base. Sura excused herself, knowing that Luna had to do his duties as a leader, she continued her slaughter. This way, they would be constantly progressing. If the Hulking Variant zombie today was any proof, was that they should always be a step or several steps ahead in terms of evolution.

As soon as Luna got back, he especially arranged for the the two Doctors to have their own room. The rest were to either share the remaining rooms, find a spot in the living room, or take the rooms reserved for the servants nearby the surroundings of the main house.

It wasn't the best of accommodations, but it felt like paradise compared to the nights they had beforehand. Luna briefed everybody regarding what he knew, including the <Territory> system. Giving others a choice on whether to participate or not.

Everybody decided to participate, even the younger children, which Luna decided he would place in the back line once the fighting started. While they were enthusiastic and level 10, an actual fight would still affect those mentally not prepared for it. Seeing an actual fight in front of them would be the change in perspective they would need to find out if they were cut out for it or not.

As everybody was getting ready to rest, the rest of the original team decided to go out while there was still some sunlight out to get some Exp. The higher their levels got, the higher their Vitality would be, which means they would need less time sleeping to recover their energy. They didn't want to sit around while they had so much energy remaining and there was still some sunlight out.

As Luna was observing his once empty house, now being filled with people, he dreamed of the day his <Nation> would be a larger safe haven for even more survivors. With that thought in mind, he went back into his room, to go through the new information he received earlier, in more detail.
