Drifting with a Bus

Jason Thought about his sister and her health, He had tried to call her but the call wasn't connecting as there was a network overload from people calling the police, Government and their friends and loved ones. Harry had also tried to call his parents but the call did not connect and Arya Had done the similar before when they had gone inside the mall previously but it was unsuccessful.

Not knowing how his little sister was making extremely jumpy and his mind was constantly occupied by her thoughts.

"I hope you are alright" Jason murmured under his breath with a Look filled with affection and care as he thought about her. This look was extremely contrasting with the look he had on his face since the start of this apocalypse. He had been constantly thinking about surviving this terrible calamity that he had forgot to relax his tense nerves. He was akin to a bowstring pulled to the limit, this made him exhausted both mentally and spiritually.

"Worrying will do me noting, I should just go with the flow and take care about the things that are in my control right now like growing stronger and protecting them."

Jason said as he Gazed at his friends.

"Turn to the right," Harry said out loud as he had found a jewellery store inside the market to their right.

*Bang

Jason turned the bus with while applying the brake but he forgot about the massive frame of the bus and accidentally caused the rear of the bus to collide with a road light causing it to fall over and the bus to wobble.

"Dude can you drive more carefully, there are three lives at stake on your pitiful driving skills"

"What pitiful, I just forgot about the massive frame of this bus," Jason said with a funny look as he continued driving as he smashed a group of zombies away who had come running at the bus hearing the noise."

Jason saw the fancy Jwellary store but there was a group of zombies coming at them from that direction.

Jason had an idea as he again floored the accelerator making the bus lurched forward just as they were upon the zombies he pulled the handbrake turned the wheel of the bus making it do a terrifying turn causing it to turn sideways but still in a sliding motion it was akin to a drifting scene from movies happening realtime but with a bus of enormous size.

Jason almost collided with the side window of the bus and the bus itself almost tripped over.

Harry was left in a state of shock he saw the bus smash the zombies away and skid into a stop in front of the store.

"Are you out of your fucking mind!?" Harry could not help but exclaim.

"I just wanted to drift with a bus," Jason said with a sheepish look on his face.

"Who knew that the bus would almost trip over But see the bright side we smashed those zombies and we drifted with a bus," Jason said with a bright smile on his face. Now that he was out of his high-strung state and knew worrying would do him nothing his youthful side came out again. Being serious all the time would exhaust his body he should have fun too.

"So what it was an apocalypse having fun in the apocalypse wasn't a crime,"

Jason repeated those words inside him to validate this act which almost caused the bus to trip. What he did not admit was that he was overcome by a moment of hotbloodedness and was too influenced by all those cars rasing movies causing him to do such a manoeuvre.

Harry was too familiar with this side of his friend, he was otaku previously and liked web novels and had similar bouts of hotbloodedness before.

"I'd curse you for this but I'm glad you're back bro"

The way Jason behaved since the apocalypse almost made him think that someone had switched bodies with him. Seeing him somewhat back to his previous personality made him release a secret sigh.

"You stay here, I'll go and quickly finish my work," Jason said in a commanding tone. This indicated that he really had changed and had become more mature, he still liked having fun but he had to be serious when the situation called for it.

"Bu- Okay" Harry wanted to say that he too wanted to go to the shop to get a pair of dark ear studs for him but he stopped midway. He had to think about Arya who was unconscious.

"Don't worry I know you wanted to have a pair of ear studs but due to the school decorum, you did not buy one. I'll get one that suits you."Jason had a faint smile as he said that. He knew about his friend's fascination with those and he was planning on getting them even if harry did not mention them.

Harry too had a wide smile on his face events like this made him realise that Jason was still the person who knew him the most in this world, even more than his parents. Thinking about his parents made his mood gloomy but he suppressed that thought. He will definitely find them.

Jason exited the bus and shot the remaining zombies in his vicinity and there were two zombies inside the shop, he could see them colliding with the reinforced glass doors of the store. He went close to the store and gave a push to the door causing it to open up and the zombies to rush at him. He shot the first one in the head and dodged the other one causing it to move past him. When he improved his dexterity he found that he had become quite adept at dodging zombies.

He turned swiftly and shot the other one in the back oh its head and strolled inside the store.

"He took a pair of pure matt black ear studs for Harry and a pretty looking Neclase for Arya and chugged all of the other things inside his inventory. It took him five minutes to raid each and every part of the store.

"How much coins for these?" Jason directly asked the system.

"Some of the rubies and Diamonds are fake and the gold has low mana storing value so you'll only get approximately three thousand coins"

"You're quite a cheap stake, all this would make a man millionaire if he sold them at market price" That was quite low, he raided a medium-sized jewellery store and all he got were three thousand coins. But he was secretly happy inside as these things had no value now and he could raid as many jewellery stores he wants and this will be a decent way to earn coins.

"Let's choose an ability," Jason said with an excited face.
