CH : 10 Explorering More

Even though there are a lot of supplies in the apartment, however, these supplies will one day run out. If Ethan leaves, they will not know what their future will be like.

Ethan looked at Luna, earnestly said: "I have to find my best friend. After finding my best friend, I want to go home for a bit. We can only stay together for a couple days."

The girls in Luna's dorm were stunning, especially Luna, Grace, and Olivia, who were the most beautiful in the school. For the new Ethan, who now possessed every memory of the original owner of this body, protecting his newfound best friend and sister had become paramount. He felt a deep obligation to ensure their safety as a form of gratitude for taking over this body. He couldn't just stay here and protect these girls; he had to act to honor this new bond and repay the unspoken debt he owed. Ensuring their survival was his way of saying thanks.

Hearing what Ethan said, beside Grace, the girl's eyes were dark, filled with a layer of haze.

At the same time, William, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Ethan, let me come with you! I want to follow you, whether it is to find your best friend or to go to your home. Maybe you need a person to drive! I can also do all kinds of heavy physical work, the non-combat heavy physical work you can just give to me."

Ethan stared at William, asked: "Are you sure you want to follow me? My family lives in the southern city Nanning. From here it is not close, I do not know what kind of danger we will encounter. As I said, if I guess correctly, those zombies should be evolving. Above all, I do not know what kind of danger lurks."

Those girls that were going to leave with Ethan fell into silence, Nanning city is too far from here. What the world has become, no one knows. They are not prepared to go through these dangers.

William confidently said: "I decided to go with you."

"Good!" Ethan nodded in agreement, allowing William to join his team.

Ethan also needs someone to help drive the vehicles, carrying supplies, so that he is freed from the logistics and can concentrate on fighting.

"William and me. Are you going to let both of them follow you too?" Ethan pointed at Aaron and Roby, while asking Grace.

Grace glanced at the duo Aaron and Roby, with that alluring voice emphatically said

"Aaron and Roby, you two are now safe. Would you take your supplies and leave."

One more person, demands for supplies will be more pressure for others. Also the girls here are beautiful, the world has started to collapse, law and order no longer applies, Grace was not sure if these boys are not perverted.

Roby's face paled, loudly shouted: "Why are you guys like this? My father is in charge of Jiang Nan district."

Everyone raised their eyebrows, for this spoiled Roby frown even more.

Olivia contemptuously smiled, sarcastically said: "What about your father, tell him to send someone to save you."

"Come on Roby!" Aaron shook his head, pulling Roby, picked up 2 big bags of supplies, and walked outside. He did not want to stay here and be humiliated.

Reading Ethan's intent, the Skeleton took a step toward Roby.

"Wait for me." Roby, seeing the Skeleton wielding his axe, was frightened, immediately picked 2 big bags of supplies and ran out.

When Aaron and Roby just left, Ava stepped forward and shut the door tightly.

"Where am I sleeping tonight?" Ethan asks Luna as the door is tightly shut.

"Follow me." Luna looked at Ethan and smiled sweetly, and took him into the master bedroom.

Upon entering this master bedroom, one filled with faint fragrance, 6 or 7 stuffed animals on the bed, neat and clean, the room full of femininity appeared before Ethan's eyes.

Luna's eyes flashed with coyness, looking at Ethan said: "This is your bedroom."

This was Luna's bedroom, this was the first time that she brought a boy into her room.

"Okay Buddy, stay alert, don't let anyone enter the room." Ethan issued a command, then lay on the big bed, and immediately fell asleep. Despite his intention to conduct experiments for a deeper understanding of the game and its rules. As the great man said If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle. By the end of the day, he was completely drained and unable to continue with any tasks.

Luna saw that Ethan did not even take off his clothes and lay on her clean white bed. She felt slightly upset, but seeing the Skeleton coming over with his axe, she immediately left the room.

With the existence of the Special Skeleton, in this room, beside Grace, everyone was afraid.

At 5 o'clock the next morning, Ethan lying on the bed opened his eyes. He always wakes up everyday at 5 to 6 to exercise and to go to class.

"Sleep really is the most effective way to recover." Ethan opened his eyes, and saw that his stamina had been completely restored.

Ethan opened the bedroom door, and stepped into the living room and saw the Skeleton standing just outside of the door like a guard dog.

"Okey buddy come in" Ethan said as Ethan and the Skeleton both walked into the room and Ethan didn't forget to lock the door.

Ethan proceeded to sit on the bed while the Skeleton stood before him.

"Okay, so where do I even begin?" Ethan muttered, his mind racing with a thousand questions.

The Skeleton, a bizarre blend of eerie and fascinating, seemed to focus its empty eye sockets on Ethan, waiting patiently.

"Let's crack this code!" Ethan said, taking a deep breath to steady his nerves.

He leaned forward, eyes locked onto the Skeleton's hollow gaze. "Please nod if you comprehend my message. Then, respond to my query to the best of your abilities using either your head or fingers."

The Skeleton's head shook up and down, a clear sign that it understood him.

Ethan's heart skipped a beat. Communication was possible. This was incredible!

"Okay, so can you read?" Ethan asked his first question, eager to begin the process of unraveling the enigma before him.

The Skeleton nodded again, its bony chin dipping toward its ribcage.

"Nice. So, can you do maths? If so, what is 2+2?"

The Skeleton lifted one hand, its fingers curling and extending methodically until four digits were raised.

"Four," Ethan confirmed, more to himself than to the Skeleton. "So you can read and do basic arithmetic."

Ethan paused, considering his next question. He needed to probe deeper, understand the extent of this entity's capabilities. "Let's try something more complex. What is the square root of 144?"

The Skeleton raised both hands, fingers flexing as it worked through the problem. Then it held up ten fingers, pausing for Ethan to verify.

"Correct," Ethan said, impressed. "Alright, let's switch gears. Do you know what H2O is?"

The Skeleton nodded.

"Can you get me a glass of H2O and some NaCl?"

The Skeleton turned and moved toward the kitchen. Ethan followed, curious to see how it would perform. The Skeleton reached up to a cupboard, retrieved a glass, and filled it with water from the tap. Then it went to the spice rack and picked up a container labelled slat, bringing both items back to Ethan.

"Perfect," Ethan said, accepting the glass and salt shaker. "You're doing great so far, So can you draw?"

He decided to test the Skeleton's memory next. "NICE, so draw the bus we took to get here?" He handed the Skeleton a notebook and a pencil.

The Skeleton took the pencil awkwardly at first, but then began to draw with surprising precision. Within minutes, a detailed sketch of the bus appeared on the page, complete with its unique number and the logo of the school on the plus the logo of the bus company.

Ethan stared at the drawing, astonished. "You've got a perfect memory," or something similar to it Ethan murmured. "That's incredible."

He decided to probe further. "Alright, can you solve this? What is 25 times 17?"

The Skeleton held up its fingers, counting silently. After a moment, it flashed the number "425" using its fingers.

"Exactly right," Ethan said, impressed by the quick calculation. "You're really something else."

He wondered if the Skeleton could follow more complex instructions. "Alright, I want you to build a simple circuit using these components." He laid out a battery, a small light bulb, and some wires on the table.

The Skeleton stared at the components for a moment, then he just stood there.

Sighing Ethan assembled it himself and after assembling and disassembling Ethan told him to repeat it.

The skeleton then began to assemble them. It connected the wires to the battery terminals and attached them to the light bulb. After a few adjustments, the bulb lit up.

"Fantastic!" Ethan exclaimed. "You really are great learners.

He decided to ask some more specialized questions. "Can you tell me the escape velocity of Earth?"

The Skeleton hesitated briefly, then raised its hands and mimed writing in the air, indicating it knew the answer but couldn't communicate it verbally.

"11.2 kilometers per second," Ethan said, watching the Skeleton for a reaction. It nodded in agreement.

"Do you know more languages?" Ethan asked, curious about the extent of the Skeleton's knowledge.

The Skeleton nodded and held up fingers to indicate different languages, then pointed to its head and made a circular motion, suggesting it could learn more if needed.

"Impressive," Ethan said. "

"Alright, here's another one. What's the principle behind a jet engine?" Ethan asked as Ethan had a few speculations in his mind whether the Skeleton had a perfect copy of knowledge he had as Ethan not as Nate. Or it was like how When Servants are summoned in the TYPE-MOON universe, they come with a foundational understanding of the modern era. They are immediately able to understand and speak the contemporary language, which is crucial for interacting with others, though they might use archaic terms from their original time. Their knowledge also extends to the general cultural norms and social practices of the present day, helping them fit into modern society more smoothly.

Servants have a basic grasp of current technology, such as smartphones, computers, and vehicles. While some adapt quickly to these modern tools, others might struggle due to the differences from their own era. Additionally, they possess an awareness of significant historical events and changes that have occurred since their time, providing them with context for their new environment. They also have a general understanding of the current social and political landscape, which helps them navigate and make informed decisions in the contemporary world. This blend of modern and historical awareness allows Servants to function effectively despite their diverse and ancient origins.

The Skeleton didn't move one bit.

Ethan's mind buzzed with the possibilities of what his soon to be skeleton army could accomplish together. "Tomorrow, we'll start exploring your abilities in more depth," he said as looked at time, his voice filled with anticipation. "We're going to learn so much.

But before that let's give you a name"

"'Draugr' it is! May your adventures be as epic as the name."

The Skeleton nodded, its hollow eyes gleaming with a strange, almost eager light.

As both of them walked outside. Above the couch in the living room, William was lying there fast asleep.

"Get up! I have something to say!" Ethan immediately went to the other 2 rooms, knocking at the door while saying out loud.

Under the urging of Ethan, beside Grace, the 4 girls took about 10 minutes before coming out, gathering together in the living room.

Ethan, staring at Grace with a deep voice said: "Grace, we are safe here for the time being. In accordance with the agreement between us, could you come with me to find my best friend today."

Grace lightly said: "Yes!"

Ethan also said: "How about you guys? Are you going to stay here or go and fight with us? I must make it clear in advance, today's fighting will be more intense than yesterday."

Other than William, the other girls were silent.

Fighting zombies with just a scratch will be infected and become one. Even men don't have the courage to fight, not to mention girls.

At the same time, Luna's eyes flashed with a firm decision: "I will fight with you. I also want to get stronger."

Luna, like ordinary girls, is also afraid to fight zombies, but it was very clear to her, in this world the most capable person is relying on oneself. Even if there is a strong desire to depend on someone, they must still show their worth.

Olivia blinked several times then said: "I will stay here to take care of Maya. She is still not well, and still needs someone to look after her. Even if I went, I would just be a nuisance."

Hesitating a bit, Ava also said: "I will also stay here and take care of Maya."

Ethan then said: "Good! You have to shut the door, except us, absolutely cannot let anyone in."

Finish talking Ethan then strode out of the room.

Grace, Luna, and William followed behind Ethan and went out.

Accompanied by a loud sound of the engine, Luna drove the school bus outside.

On the streets, the zombies are wandering everywhere, as a school bus is rushing through. Those zombies immediately staggered toward the school bus. As the zombies got near, af if like a tank, the school bus hit the zombies and sent them flying

Luna while driving, to Ethan said: "Ethan, there is only half a tank of gas left."

Ethan asked: "Is there enough left to reach Zhong Hai University then to the gas station in Jiang Nan?

Luna confidently estimated: "There is no problem!"

Ethan quickly said: "Then go to Zhong Hai University first."

Luna nodded and then drove the school bus toward Zhong Hai University.

Unlike Yun Hua University, Zhong Hai University is a first rate school in the nation, has turned out quite a few celebrities, and is among the most famous universities.

Zhong Hai University is also extremely bustling, no matter what time it is, there are people coming and going in. So the number of zombies is several times as much as in other regions.

Luna drives to this area, seeing numerous zombie swarms, the school bus is soon surrounded.

Upon hearing the school bus engine, the zombies staggered over.

Luna gritted her teeth, and drove through the zombies.

Those zombies one after another were run over. With a continuous stream of impacts. If it was an ordinary car, at this time it would have been blocked by the zombies and swallowed by the swarm.

Hitting unknown numbers of zombies, the school bus finally arrived at Zhong Hai University.
