The Departure

After all members are well rested and discuss the different abilities they all have either from loot or the thing. Analyze and Recall are more of a utility type skill and a passive/active skill so it doesn't take away from the skill slots. While the proficiency skill doesn't rise the speed of leveling up it instead raises the affect your skills have on objects For example. Charisma to a person or Strength to a boulder.

As the members are awaken to the world they can see the new title in the system and the benefit it gives. As well for a select few the reward for completing the higher level difficulty.

{At the moment of infection you can cure the infection and become immune depending on the number of LP you have. It fluctuates from your total amount and the amount of danger you are put through. As well as other factors.}

(Skills given by the LP reward do not take away from the skill cap, but follow the laws of the world)

{David a create Drone skill.}

{Henry a Hacker skill.}

{Grace a Weakened Mind Reader skill.}

{Robert a Spear Growth Rank F.}

{Frank a Rage Skill}

{Benjamin a Medicine Skill.}

{Shana has been partly unsealed From Sponsor.}

{Syn a Multiprocessing Skill From Sponsor}

{Hope that makes up to calling you a thing basically. Just saying though that you aren't human.}

After Robert goes back to the makeshift colony he sends out the hopefully more trustworthy people to finish raiding the classrooms for necessary supplies. As well as getting toilet paper and paper towels. Through the night there are marks on the magnetic lock and physical lock at there makeshift supply room so a head count is made and some of the colony can be seen as missing. Some of the females from before have killed themselves or been given the option to kill the torturer. As well as assumed to be some members from the search parties who just never returned either murdered, eaten, or abandoned.

Benjamin running through the halls towards Robert with glee can be noticed. Even though he was given time to sleep in the other world Benjamin still has bags underneath his eyes and instant coffee in his hands as he works nearly 24/7 on investigating this virus/sickness.

"Robert I know what it is. Oh it is such a beautiful specimen. Here look at my notes. "(Benjamin)

"Can I just have an abridged version."

"Oh yeah sure. Well the zombie virus is three different sicknesses. One of them is housed in the brain it is the main part of the virus that is responsible for the action of the creatures and the need to eat others, I assume so far it is based off of Rabies. That isn't the interesting one though. My favorite would the symbiotic parasite that is connected to its nerves. It is the regeneration factor, the nerves, and the deceleration factor. When it first connects to the nerves it rapidly rots the skin to allow for quick connection throughout the body, after that it uses the energy it earns from its food and another source I can't quite find, to repair the body. While my least favorite one is this um thing if you will. Any creature with a core counts as a secondary connection point to all of the previous illnesses while it is the key factor in the evolution and growth of the creature. I have a few lovely evolved zombies they look so sweet."

"You never ceases to surprise me and gross me out. Good work. How about a cure or vaccine?"

"Ah well that is a bit more tricky. I can't do it yet or with my tech, but we only are capable of curing the first two semi easily. After that has been dealt with a zombie can be turned back, but the decay on them and there nerves would be fried as well as the first sickness eats up parts of its brain. You would need to in a sense have a miracle heal to repair the body. While if the third is found in the body it is impossible for me to turn it back to human with my current technology. I assume that the core will just overload if the body it reverts back to isn't compatible and either reinfect the host or just do something. Though a vaccine is a bit more tricky. I realistically need to only account for the first sickness, but that one morphs depending on the person. So I believe that we will--."

"Okay I get it. Thank you very much. Benjy what will I do without you?"

"Don't know boss."

Robert repacking up the semi and the school bus as well as a few off road vehicles left in the parking lots and teachers lounge of the compound. Some students taking there own vehicle instead of the bus and vice versa. A minimum amount of supplies are distributed for those vehicles basically allowing them to survive for a day if they get lost. The two tech nerds Henry and David have used Goomle Maps before and a drone they were able to send throughout the area before it was destroyed to see an area that was swapped out for a walled in complex. They also noticed different groups of survivors with different needs of help and punishment. Currently the school group is attempting to leave on the rugged road from the earthquake to the walled in complex which they assume is the beginners village. Samuel comes up with a plan that can help thin out the numbers of enemies if you will.

"Sir, I believe we should use this school as a way to trap and kill as many zombies as we can before they grow there intelligence to the point where these traps will no longer work."(Samuel)

"Continue. Just tell me as I walk. Syn and I are looking through the checklist of all the supplies we have it doesn't much effort for me its mainly Syn doing everything. Thanks." (Robert)

"It is my duty Creator."(Synthetica)

"Oh stop with the whole creator thing Syn your my little Girl I don't think I can handle to calling me dad, but Rob and Robert are definitely fine."

Syn mildly blushes with glee and shame as she feels these emotions are new to her and attempts to suppress them another problem with this human body she musses in her logical thoughts.

"I have to interrupt you there otherwise you will go on to how proud Ann and you are with creating her and I may not be able to tell you the plan."

"Fine Sammy just get to it."(Robert Grumbles)

"I say we use the leftover vehicles and fuel we can't fit into the containers and empty water jugs to burn the school after using the clock tower to attract all the zombies. I have discussed with Benjamin and even through his tears he is willing to repurpose his monstrosities-."

"-CHILDREN they are my children. Oh you poor souls I am so sorry I can't take you with me. They think you will eat and infect everyone. Right you won't do it Billy. OOh Billy a bit to close that time, but it's okay, I love you all the same."(Benjamin as he uses a makeshift stick and duct tape to cattle prod and move the zombies to the flag pole.)

"I swear Benjamin, if one of them is named Sarah I will go over there and drop kick you."(Grace)

Ignoring the banter going on between the therapist and the crazy Samuel finishes describing his plan to burn up the school and use the cars as bombs in spaced out locations by the zombie pheromone magnets. To cull the numbers. Robert agreeing to the plan commands/asks some of the regular survivors to help Samuel with compensation of course.

Leaving the compound after booby trapping the place. Some members of the search group miraculously are found last minute. Oblivious to the face there scheme or mooching off the group was noticed they attempt to assimilate themselves to the group only realize now that the people guarding the transport aren't regular people like them, but the terrible 26 (I know it doesn't work as a name for them, but it's all I have).

"OH, So glad we just got back from looting. It was dangerous and there were zombies."(Person)

"Really then why don't your weapons have blood on them and why is all this loot a little light I would say. The chocolate at the side of your friends mouth could probably tell me. So chocolate please tell me where your brothers went." (Sophia)

Casandra not able to resist uses her voice acting skills to mimic a lost child in tears.

"They were eaten. It was so scary, dark, and I think I saw something else in there. Please don't let them take me."(Cassandra)

"It is okay poor chocolate they won't be able to go with us for lying, but we are kind enough to only take a portion of there stuff so we can handle allowing them to sleep for the night for free."(Sophia)

A few of the people in there own vehicles and group members can't hold back any longer at the red face of the group and laugh to there heart's content. As Sophia pries away some water and the only chocolate bar the group has left there whining and complaints are heard as they curse and vow revenge in front of the group like idiots. Robert not able to handle it anymore ask David to send the signal to use the remaining battery power that is leftover in the Clock Tower to ring the clock as they drive away. The lock of terror the group gives off as they run away. The roar of a zombie horde is heard as they approach the loud ringing noise and the group is driving towards the safe zone. The occasional zombie can be seen clambering out the houses towards the clock and group. Benjamin's tears can be heard as he left both his living and undead samples.
