Chapter 23

(Small jump in time of 2 weeks then it's off to go now inside my plot, maybe you'll see references from other games or series, I admit it I'm inspired by it a lot but let's say the same if I aspire to it I do it my way, good read)

On the roofs of the houses, we could see 3 silhouettes running, they jumped and also escaped the 5 runners who were chasing them, so they entered a small office by jumping through the window and breaking it in the process, suddenly waking up the sleeping zombies get up and try to catch his 3 silhouettes but also agile to slip under the desk, another passes over a desk then another manages to effectively dodge with agility the zombies who were trying to stop this person who tried to run away

The runners who had been following them for a while had a hard time catching up with them because of the chaos that reigned in the office thanks to these people who were able to escape

At this point, one of the figures got to the top and was able to remove his hood and take a deep breath and look ahead of him in the distance to their goal the mall as you might have guessed he was our protagonist Naru

"Phew, soon arrived but wow I can't help but see it still so beautiful even if it's the apocalypse"

Then Naru turned around and saw the 2 people accompanying him.

"You are amazing to have so much stamina," Takeshi said as he tried to catch his breath.

"I support Takeshi on his shots there, it's just inhuman," Hisashi said taking a deep breath of fresh air.

"Guys, at least tell yourself that you are more effective in terms of survival since training"

"Yeah, do you think the girls will be okay?"

"I think yes seen Saeko and there and you know that Shoko is not bad in fights anymore"

"Yeah, how do you know that Shoko, the sweet Shoko, could be so effective on katana strikes"

I'm shaking just thinking about it, wondering how I didn't end up a masochist," Takeshi said shaking.

Because indeed during the training for the fight, we discovered that Shoko has a real talent in what has the sword this fact Saeko and Shoko did not stop training together and I had to train the others alone

Hisashi "How long before dark?"

Naru "It's 2 pm, we still have 5 hours ahead of us but we won't be able to get back in time, we'll have to find shelter for the night"

Takeshi "Great, we'll sleep on the cold floor again"

The 2 laughed at Takeshi and then went back to the mall.

--------------------------------------------------

10 hours before

Everyone was there because we were there to do a briefing before everyone's goal to be honest I'm really happy with their result in 2 weeks

Shoko and Saeko treated each other almost like sisters, both of them very good swordsmen and also very good in terms of course

Yukina and Ranko are very good at blunt weapons but above all their strength is in their unions they are extremely strong at 2 together but yukana is not very good in terms of parkour she can climb between houses but if she is chased no birds of prey she has no chance of escaping

To tell the truth it's very hard to escape the raptor when we are chased, they are in fact real hunters in our group only me saeko shoko, rei and Utaha are quite competent to escape them especially Utaha I don't know how but she herself surpasses me in terms of parkour skill she has amazing agility and hardly makes any unnecessary moves and rei also both are very flexible even though rei is much less strong but in fight she easily beats Utaha in throws because yes Utaha fights with the spear

As for eriri, she is personally trained by kohta with mamako and saya whose apparently kohta mamako has a real talent for firearms and saya has a decent level for the gun

However it's shizuka although after that night i felt lighter hearted in terms of parkour skill she is the weakest i wonder why (cough cough i leave that to the imagination from the reader) but in terms of knife fighting, she is quite decent, so she is able to protect herself

We were all set up and everyone's watching me

"Well, as you know, we each have a lot of goals to accomplish, so I'm going to split up into 2 groups of 3

The first group will be me, takeshi and hisashi we will be at the mall for the location then when we see what's there we will do several expeditions if there are a lot of interesting things so you 2 should expect a lot of zombies and runner and maybe even special zombies" The 2 nodded then I looked at saeko, utata and shoko

"You 3 will be in charge of going to the weapons workshop and Saeko will be the leader of the group but you must be prepared to at least sleep not at the base so I let you choose carefully what you will take"

The 3 accepted then I looked at Kohta

"Kohta you'll be in charge of the base but above all don't let anyone undesirable in, I'll leave that to you" Kohta nodded "Well everyone get ready"

Then everyone got up and did their business but I stopped Saeko first.

"Saeko promise me to be careful, I know your urges so be careful"

Saeko smiled at me kindly and said

"Don't worry you should know how strong your sister is and besides it's our daily life to watch out for zombies"

Then saeko leaves to get ready but when I see her like that in my head I can't stop thinking about the sentence it's the routine that leads to error but putting that aside I got ready but not before chat with scarlet

"Scarlet you may appear

"Nya, how is the master?" »

"It's okay, tell me when I was watching TV, I didn't hear a Ding tell me I'm not crazy"

"Nya, no you received 3 missions here they are"

[Optional Quest: Defeat 50 Runners

Reward: 2 status points + weapon blueprint]

(For dying light geeks, you know what weapon blueprints mean 😁)

[Optional quest: Defeat 1 ??? and defeat 10 Goons

Reward: 3 status points + concrete hammer and protective police outfit]

[Optional Quest: Scout out the mall and find all possible dangers there

Reward 1 Status Point + Survivor Armor]

Wow I can only say hard but not impossible quests and especially for the mall quest saying that means there are more than zombies I kinda suspected that at least it did confirmed but the ??? I wonder, I think I haven't met him

"Thanks, Scarlet"

"Nya has your duty master" Then she disappeared

Phew so let's go, then I looked at the map

------------------------------------------

"Finally arrived

"Sold out already?" »

" Nah, it's just that I enjoy it a little because now it's serious

"He's right Hisashi let him enjoy"

"Ready guys?" »

"Yes !" they said in unison

Then we walked into the mall
