Are Those Two Monsters His Pets?

"This is too exaggerated!"

"Are those two monsters his pets?"

"Can he really have pets? That's awesome!"

"Heh, although those monsters are quite scary, if we could awaken superpowers like that guy, that would be awesome!"

"Don't you have superpowers? Jealous that they're causing a stir?"

"Damn, what I have is called superpowers?"

Inside the hotel and the buildings on both sides of the street downstairs, there were also many survivors.

At this moment, they watched Bruce and the others hunting monsters downstairs, each one of them surprised.

Although they were also beginning to organize a counterattack.

But they hadn't even cleared the monsters from where they were staying.

Let alone going out of the building like Bruce and the others.

At this moment, no matter where the survivors were from.

After seeing the scene downstairs, they all started to have some special thoughts.

"Hey, do you guys think we should join their team?"

"Join? Have you seen if they'll take you?"

"How would we know if we don't try?"

"Boss, I'm really tired, can we take a break first?"

Finnegan, holding a crossbow, said tiredly.

Bruce glanced at him. This guy's betrayal rate was 27%.

It's also lower than 30%.

So, Bruce not only knew his attributes but also knew about his awakened ability.

Yes, as one of Bruce's subordinates, Finnegan was also an Awakener!

But the ability he awakened was somewhat mediocre.

His ability was called Hawk Eye.

Hawk Eye? It's exactly what it sounds like, the eyes of a hawk.

This thing didn't have any other functions, just the ability to see things from a super long distance.

Finnegan's own attributes didn't change except for slightly stronger mental strength.

If given a sniper rifle, this ability would probably be quite useful.

But now, this skill was a bit useless.

"Alright!" Bruce nodded. "Let's go to the bakery next door, we can have lunch there. Everyone, be careful."

It's time to eat when it's time to eat, there's nothing wrong with that.The neighborhood where Malachi lives isn't directly aligned with the hotel school.

 But it's closer to Bruce, just one street over, and you can see the neighborhood's gate with just a turn.

However, even that street is challenging for Bruce to traverse because there are many monsters among the buildings on both sides of the road.

To avoid being trapped from both ends, Bruce and his companions must advance cautiously, step by step.

The cake shop by the roadside is a small store.

 Inside, the glass counter is tilted, with shattered glass scattered all over.

The cakes are also smashed.

Bruce sends Ben inside to scout the area.

There's not a living soul inside the small shop.

Within the shop, there's a lounge.

At this moment, it's in disarray, with blood covering the floor!

Two lizard-like monsters, one medium-sized and one tall, are feasting on two bodies inside.

Both bodies are of girls.

They're barely recognizable, with one girl's face half-eaten away.

The gruesome scene disgusts everyone!

Combined with the pungent smell of blood and decay, even Bruce instinctively pinches his nose.

Plop! Quickly coordinating with Ben, they slay the monsters with their swords.

No crystal cores are found.

 Bruce doesn't bother much and swiftly shuts the door of the lounge, blocking the nauseating smell.

With the stench gone, Bruce breathes a sigh of relief.

Outside, Finnegan and Ignacio have already closed the cracked glass door.

Bruce instructs Ben and Adam to guard the entrance, then randomly grabs a table, taking out the leftover cooked food from last night and setting it on the table.

The storage space inside the storage ring is a vacuum, impervious to external air and linked to Bruce's mental consciousness.

 This means that storing food inside the ring not only preserves it better but also prevents it from moving around.

However, given the current sweltering weather, this food has been sitting outside for a whole day! Even if stored in the ring, it won't last long.So they need to eat them as soon as possible.

As for whether the food is cold or not, at this point, nobody cares anymore.

"Rest for a bit, all of you. Cynthia, come with me," Bruce said.

After the meal, Bruce took Cynthia to the cash desk inside the cake shop.

He brought over two overturned stools.

Cynthia sat down, looking at Bruce with some confusion. "Bruce, what's going on?"

"I want to ask you, what did you talk about with Teacher Joanne last night?"

"Huh? Why are you suddenly asking this?"

"Just answer my question!"

"We did talk about some things, but they were just trivial matters."

"Do you know who this Jerald person is to her?"

"Jerald?" Cynthia thought for a moment. "Teacher Joanne mentioned he was someone she met through matchmaking!"

"Match... matchmaking??"

"Yeah, it was yesterday morning..."

Cynthia recounted to Bruce everything she had talked about with Joanne last night.

After listening to Cynthia's account, Bruce only wanted to say one word.

"Joanne's plot is so cliché?

 If she weren't the female lead, I'd eat Andúril sword!"

Bruce knew Jesse and Cynthia were the male lead and female lead because the system provided four beginner tips character cards, clearly marking their relationships.

As for whether Jesse's main storyline had another female lead?

Bruce could only rely on his own experience to judge.

Regarding Joanne, Bruce had suspicions before.

However, he only had doubts before. Even with Jerald's presence, he couldn't be completely sure of her status as the female lead.

After all, for a beautiful woman like Joanne, it's normal to have a handsome and wealthy man like Jerald pursuing her.

But now, based on Cynthia's description, Bruce could basically confirm her status as the female lead.

Because despite being 27 years old this year, Joanne has never had a boyfriend, can you believe it?

Such a beautiful woman, at such an age, has never had a boyfriend?

This is clearly illogical.

It's common knowledge!Regardless of whether it's a movie or a novel, authors often write the female lead to be innocent, catering to the readers' desires.

Whether this woman is eighteen, twenty-eight, or thirty-eight years old.

Whether she is married or not.

Anyway, as long as she's the female lead, even if she has a child, she's definitely innocent.

Married women generally don't work well as the female lead.

Women with children, if the child isn't the protagonist's, are definitely adopted.

Older women either haven't met the right person or want to save their first time for marriage.

In short, various ridiculous reasons allow the female lead to give her first time to the male lead, even if the reason is extremely unreasonable!

Take Joanne, for example.

She's attractive, but her personality is a bit conservative, and she's quite traditional at heart.

Focused on her studies, she hasn't had time for romance!

When her parents ask, she says she's not in a hurry, she's still young, etc.!

So she's been single all this time.

Later, her family got anxious about having grandchildren and introduced her to this guy named Jerald.

A social elite who just returned from studying abroad.

Coincidentally, not only were they from the same hometown as children, but they also attended the same elementary school.

So Joanne, who originally wasn't planning on going on a blind date with Jerald, decided to meet him after hearing this news.

Joanne is also peculiar.

Usually, blind dates happen during lunch or dinner.

Because in Serdonia , sharing a meal is a social activity that brings people closer together.

After eating, there's more time to spend together.

But she arranged the blind date in the morning?

Her reason was that she had to rush back to teach her students after the blind date.

So they agreed to meet at the breakfast shop downstairs from the hotel.

Then the apocalypse struck.

The owner of the breakfast shop turned into a zombie.

They had no choice but to escape to this hotel.

According to Bruce's speculation.
