In the wood

[host's health is low, find a quiet place. when the host is not in the fight host's health will slowly increase]

[recovery rate is 1 HP per hour]

Jack's health is in a critical situation, if he's gonna fight another time he will probably be dead, so he had to find a solution and quick before another zombie see him

after thinking a little he decided that the little wood near his quartier is the best place, there will probably not have many zombies in there and he can recover without any problem

then he went in the wood, he was lucky that he didn't encounter any zombie during the trip, the slide of the wind between the autumn branches make a creepy lament, it was an afternoon the red light of the sun makes the carpet of red leaves even redder, as it was covered in blood

Jack walked a little more to delve into the wood a little more just in case. as he walked some dried leaves crunched as he steps on them and after almost an hour Jack find a big tree and decided to sit down

he was exhausted mentally with all the things that happened so quickly end without realizing it he's consciousness faded away until he was being woke up by a system's notification

[DING! host's health had been fully restored]

'ugh, why I lose consciousness?'

[is to make the host's recovery more effective, worry not host, the system will notice the host if there is some incoming danger]

even though Jack was awake, he noticed that it was still night, in the wood where there aren't any artificial illumination the night was even darker, Jack doesn't want to move around in the forest in this dark so he just stays firm and starts thinking, thinking of what he has to do from now onwards.

'ok, first of all, I had to think about Theo, after I lose consciousness when I was almost being hit by that explosion I don't know how much time had passed, in the best case it only had passed a single night but if it didn't then I had to suppose that Theo may be dead! no no no he was very athletic and clever on the contrary of me, he will know to look after himself his dad probably was with him, his dad was a soldier and his mum was dead years ago, probably he and his dad was finding or already find shelter with other survivors yeah it must surely be so'

'ok, then the second thing is how I have to move from now onward, first of all, tomorrow I have to find food eehm... I mean zombie, I had to kill zombies and achieve my first level up ASAP, I don't feel safe in such a weak body, then I have to find a way to communicate with Theo, well that will be surely a long way to go as he doesn't even know how to communicate when he can't talk, so for now, he has only to survive and become stronger'

it was morning, the sun was rising, a new day had come, Jack had spent almost all night to straighten up the pole, and now with the firm grip of his new long-ranged weapon he fell much stronger and safer.

'ready or not I'm coming~'
