CH : 13 Looking for Weapons

All the other girls retreated away from the round-faced girl; only Luke with a calm face holding the novice staff was ready to take on the S1 zombie.

The S1 zombie, seeing Luke charging forward, released the round-faced girl. The zombie pounced at Luke as if it were a cheetah, with a claw swiping at Luke's head.

The S1 zombie's speed was too fast; Luke's level was too low, it was impossible to avoid the attack of the S1 zombie. His eyes flashed with a cold light; he swung the novice staff, smashing it against the zombie's body.

Seeing that Luke would be caught, a shadow flashed by, a sword filled with a cold light slashed at the zombie's head. One slash, decapitating the head and sending it flying with blood, splattering.

Ethan, with a kick, sent the zombie's body flying a few metres away, smashing against the bus wall.

Just after killing the 3 S1 zombies, the school bus crashed into a nearby clothing shop.

Along with the numerous sounds of shattered glass, the entire school bus rocked and then came to a stop.

When the S1 zombie rushed towards Luna, she was frightened and panicked, so she could not control the school bus.

Everyone on the school bus lost their balance because of the collision, with 3 girls hitting the seats and knocking out.

Ethan with a roar, shouted: "Quickly drive. Luna!"

Countless zombies were surrounding the school bus. If they were completely surrounded then they all would die without a grave.

Luna was also aware of the danger, suppressing the discomfort after the impact, immediately reversed out from the clothing store and accelerated towards the Garden District.

Ethan then quickly pulls out a rope from his backpack, then ties up the girl that was bitten by the S1 zombie.

The girl cried out in fear: "Ethan, what are you doing? Why did you tie me up? I am hurt, you need to save me."

The people that were not knocked out were looking at the girl's neck with pity in their eyes.

Ethan watched the girl and slowly said: "All those bitten by the zombies will be infected and become zombies. You only have 20 minutes left."

Those infected cannot be cured, this is the most brutal fact when fighting against zombies. If caught by a zombie, even just a scratch can turn you into a zombie. This was why people feared fighting against zombies.

Immediately executing an infected person, this is the most sensible approach. But the world just changed, Ethan could not immediately kill a person who had not turned into a zombie yet.

The girl hearing what Ethan said, pleaded with a loud cry: "Help me! Please, help me! I don't want to die! I don't want turned into them please"

Seeing the girl cry out in a loud voice, the rest of the girls were fearful and sympathetic, but no one dared to go near her.

Ethan slowly said to the girl: "I'm sorry, I'm not able to help you!"

"I don't want to die! I don't want to die!" Knowing that she only had 20 minutes to live causes her to have a mental breakdown. She loudly wailed, her mouth just muttering the phrase.

Ethan turned and walked towards the bodies of the 3 S1 zombies.

The 3 S1 zombies only dropped a skill book, 7 treasure boxes and 3 Survival Coins worth 50.

"Level 1 Skill Book, Minor Injury Healing. Using this skill can cure the patients who suffered minor injuries. Each usage will consume 4 MP."

Ethan took the "Minor Injury Healing" skill book, then hesitated a bit. This skill book is a healing skill. Currently the hospitals are deserted, even minor injuries can claim a person's life. Having this healing skill, he can deal with more emergencies. But then he will 

be missing a powerful fighting skill.

Ethan with a slight smile tossed the skill book to Grace: "Grace, do you want this skill book?"

Grace took a look at the skill book, then tossed it back to Ethan: "Don't need it!"

The other people are watching Ethan with hope in their eyes. They already know that a skill book represents a kind of ability. The world has changed, but one thing has not changed, the people with abilities can live better, while those without abilities cannot even afford to protect their own lives.

Under the stares of the others, Ethan put the skill book in his backpack. Each skill book is extremely rare, he will only give the skill books to people who he believes can become his teammate and he can trust them gurad his back.

Ethan then began to open the white treasure boxes.

White lights flashing, 5 of the treasure boxes were empty, the last 2 treasure boxes dropped 2 pairs of 1st Degree Enhanced Footwear, Agility +3. The 2 pairs of Enhanced Footwear were given to Luke and Grace.

The school bus soon arrived at the Garden District.

Even though there were many people in the building, the majority of them were in their office, there were not many zombies outside.

"Luke, Grace. I'll leave these zombies to you guys." After saying this, Ethan quickly rushed towards the stairs.

Luke and Grace, the duo, escorted the girl that was bitten off the school bus, and started killing the zombies roaming around the building.

Ethan and Draugr arrived at a floor in the building, then killed 7 zombies blocking their way while heading towards room 604 in the building.

Ethan constantly knocked on the door of room 604 and loudly yelled: "Julia! Are you okay? It's Ethan!"

"I'm was okay! Big brother Ethan, don't leave!" Soon from inside room 604 came the surprise cry of a girl.

After a while things moved and a voice sounded inside, and then room 604 door opened wide. He see beautiful 16 year old girl, red hair was in long pony tail, her green eyes shined with happiness, innocence and love as she directed her gaze at Ethan with tears in them.

Her well proportion figure that was still in development was hidden with her dress. 

Julia saw Ethan, and threw herself into his arms and cried out: "Big brother Ethan! I knew you would save me!"

Ethan patted Julia's shoulders and asked, "Aunt and uncle Lu?"

Julia is Ethan tutoring student. Although usually Julia is very mischievous, the two get along well overall. Julia's parents also look after Ethan, and never owed wages. Thanks to a good salary of a home tutor, Ethan can live a quiet college life, and do not need to look for other jobs.

Julia raised her teary face, and said: "I called their phones, but nobody answered."

Julia was so adorable, compared with the usual naughty little witch now she was completely different.

When the world changed, most people have been turned into zombies. Julia was hiding inside looking out the window at people being bitten by zombies. The phone calls couldn't get through, and no one picked up the calls, so she was very afraid and helpless. Now seeing Ethan, her heart calms down slightly.

Ethan quickly said: "You should come with me immediately. This is not a place to stay for the long term."

"Big brother Ethan, wait for me. I will come immediately." Julia quickly went to her room to get her backpack which packed with all the important staff, put on a baseball cap, and wore her sneakers. Then ran to Ethan's side.

"Let's go!" Ethan did not say much, then with Julia rushed downstairs.

After rushing downstairs, the two got on the school bus, then Ethan said to Luna: "Now get out of here. Go back to your apartment!"

At this point Luke and Grace have cleared the surrounding area and returned to the bus. Luna started the school bus without saying anything, then sped away, running over countless zombies to head home.

Ethan, after getting on the bus, took a look inside, did not find the girl bitten by the S1 zombie. He did not know if she had already become a zombie and was killed by Luke or Grace.

The ride back was without incident, this time they smoothly returned to Luna's home.

"Good news! Long Hai city has established an enclave of survivors. The survivors nearby have gone there." Back home, immediately Olivia excitedly said to Ethan and his party.

"Very good!"

"Very good!"

"Now, we are saved!"

Listening to Olivia's words, the dark clouds that hung over everyone's hearts have dispersed, and their hearts are filled with joy, Ethan was no exception.

After the world changed, everyone's hearts were filled with confusion. Fear and anxiety lingers in all their hearts.

Despite the usual complaints about the Government, in such despair, hearing the official news is undoubtedly an invigoration to them. A strong institution capable of maintaining order and allowing them to live a quiet and orderly life, they would not have to lead such a precarious existence.

After the great news, Ethan immediately asked Olivia: "How do you know this news?"

Olivia proudly took out a radio to show off: "After making some adjustments to the radio I was able to connect with signal and heard the broadcasting on the radio."

'The end of world occurred 2 days ago, Long Hai City, which was able to make that kind of response, this Mayor actually has some capability.' Ethan quietly thought.

The Solara Government efficiency is obvious, within two days they are able to reassure the public, and prepare the enclave for survivors. Long Hai City Mayor's capability was far beyond Ethan's imagination.

Olivia said to Ethan, while looking forward to his reaction: "Ethan, how about we go to Long Hai City now?"

Listening to Olivia's words, all eyes in the room fell on Ethan. Without the help of Ethan, their probability of reaching Long Hai City was very small. In the room most of them wanted to immediately leave for Long Hai City.

Ethan frowned, in a deep voice said: "No! Going to Long Hai City is no problem, but I want to be prepared. Weapons, supplies, and vehicles are necessary. Without them, I'm not going to Long Hai City. Anyone that wants to go, can go, I will not stop."

Grace looked at everyone, and lightly said: "Ethan is right, before we are prepared, reaching Long Hai City will be very difficult."

The school bus after several collisions, is banged up, and does not know when it would break down.

With one S1 zombie Ethan can handle. If at the same time they encounter several S1 zombies, L1 zombies, or even other special zombies, the team simply can not resist.

Olivia with an embarrassed laugh: "I just suggested, since you feel that it is inappropriate, then forget it."

Ethan took out the Minor Injury Healing skill book and handed it to Julia: "Julia, immediately learn this skill."

"Okay!" Julia nodded and took the skill book, with a thought, the skill book turned into a white light and entered her body.

Ethan asked: "How is it?"

"Good!" Julia nodded.

Ethan brought Julia over to Maya and said: "You go help Maya treat her injuries."

Maya rolled up her pant leg, revealing a swollen calf.

Julia reached out and touched Maya then swollen calf, a white flash of light from her hands flew out into the calf of Maya.

Under that white light's effect, Maya swollen calf returned back to normal even the naked eye can see.

When the light disappeared, Julia quickly went over to Ethan, gave me a sweet smile and said: "It's alright, but I'm really worn out.

Ethan took out a lollipop and handed it to Julia: "Candy."

Julia took the lollipop and with a mischievous smile said: "Big brother Ethan, you're amazing, just like Alaway's ability to keep eyes itch-free!"

In a safe place, Julia had also recovered some of her personality.

Ethan shook his head and looked at the lively Julia, the worries eased from his mind a bit. Since the end of his life as Nate, he has been under enormous pressure. Fearing the unknown, he can only choose to get stronger. Just so he can get a little sense of security.

Ethan walked to the front of Maya and asked: "How is the result?"

Maya felt her feet, then stood up, her eyes filled with joy: "Great! My injury is completely healed."

Ethan seeing Maya joyful look, a glimmer appeared in his eyes, this ability to cure minor injuries was far beyond his expectations.

The battles will be more severe in the future, what will happen nobody knows. With this skill to treat minor injuries, in the future his team will be able to get stronger.

Ethan looked at Grace asked: "Grace, I want to go to the police station to get some weapons, are you coming?"

It is a collaborative relationship between Ethan and Grace. The 2 have already worked together to save Luke. Grace no longer owes him anything.

Although Ethan has gotten a lot stronger, firearms are necessary weapons for him. Regardless if the enemies are zombies or people, firearms are very effective. Even if they were going to rot he didn't want anyone to point a at him or anyone he knew.

"I'm going!" Grace said, then turned and looked at Luna, said: "Luna, you should also come with us."

Luna, inconsistent with her weak appearance, nodded "Yes!"

Ethan quickly said: "William , Julia, and Luke, we are going!"

At the same time, Maya plucked up the courage to say: "I want to go!"

Ethan glanced at Maya, thinking for a moment, then said: "You should stay here. For this operation, we can not take you."

The operation this time is to get firearms and equipment, so it must be brief. Maya has no skill, so she would only be a burden.

Listening to Ethan's words, Maya's felt a pang of disappointment, silently returning to her seat.

Ethan's party quickly got on the school bus, and sped towards the police station.

When the school bus travelled on the road for a while, Ethan saw over a dozen weirdly dressed individuals, riding modified motorcycles, machetes, and a baseball bat in hand. Their hair dyed yellow screaming on the street.

When the world changed in the late afternoon was when traffic flow at this road was little, so there weren't many zombies. On this road, Ethan did not see any zombies.

Those dozens of men saw the bus, and immediately drove their motorcycles after the bus.

Several modified motorcycles soon rushed ahead in front of the school bus, blocking the way.

"Stop! I said to stop!" A motorcycle rode along the side of the bus with a baseball bat and machete, while constantly banging and swearing at the sides of school bus.

Ethan, seeing Luna slowing the school bus down, frowned and shouted: "Don't stop, hit them. Hit them!"

Luna loudly retorted: "No!" Someone will die! They are still alive, not zombies! I do not want to become a murderer!" Saying this, Luna stepped on the brakes and stopped the bus.

It has only been 2 days since the end of the world, Luna's ideology has not changed. She has yet to experience the cruelty of this world, nor understand, the old order has collapsed. She did not hesitate to run over the zombies, 

but can not run over real live humans.

Seeing Luna stopping the bus, Ethan frowned. With an idea, he covered Draugr up with a large canvas.

When the school bus had stopped, those motorcycles also stopped and parked next to the school bus. Then 7 young men armed with machetes came over.
