The sounds from the vehicle very obviously started slowing down as more and more zombies surrounded it.
Alec silently prayed that they wouldn't head here. Right now, he didn't even know whether or not he wanted to associate with a Main Character in this kind of place if they were taking actions like this.
Did it even make sense that they were shouting and firing guns? Were they trying to attract every single zombie to them or not?
Alec prayed that it wasn't the Main Character that was shouting loudly inside whatever car.
In the first place, the entire city should be congested with overturned cars and blocked roads, so why were they even driving?! It made no sense!
Even if he considered that they had reason for acting this way, he didn't really need a Main Character to clear the mission. It would just be harder for him, that's all.
In essence, Alec didn't need to hug the Main Character's thighs like he was clinging onto their coattails. The apocalypse that this place was facing currently hadn't been ongoing that long, so it wouldn't be hard for him to blend in.
Alec had so many questions and so little answers, but he didn't need the Main Character for that. The Main Character was just a bonus.
As he stood there in the middle of rushing zombies, Alec silently resigned to his fate when the sounds of the vehicle started nearing them. Since they were coming here without him doing anything, should he take it as fate?
The little futile hope in his heart that the Main Character was just somewhere nearby and not in that vehicle was dropping sharply whenever the [Main Character Radar] bleeped sharply.
Actually, now that he thought about it, why was a Main Character showing up in this place?
Why would the [Main Character Radar] react in what was supposedly a 'mission'?
Before he could think further about it, the vehicle was already approaching him at high speeds.
Instead of what he thought, they were actually getting rid of the zombies at a rather moderate speed, whether it be running them down with the vehicle or taking care of it with guns.
The most baffling thing was that they were in a jeep instead of a normal car.
There was a round of swearing as a female in her mid-twenties shot at the zombies that rushed up to them.
"Uwaaaah! Get away from me, you filthy things!" but even as she shouted such distressed-sounding words, her accuracy was nothing to laugh at.
Every shot of hers was a headshot that caused a zombie to go down without getting back up. Her shots were relatively quick as well, but her bullets weren't infinite.
However, it wasn't enough as more and more zombies started gathering cause of her voice.
"Shut up already! We're already loud enough because of this damn jeep, but you're still attracting more?" the person who was driving whisper-shouted at her. Their voice was slightly thick, as if holding back tears, but he spoke reasonable words.
"Ahhhh," Karen Flinch angrily whisper-shouted instead after hearing the admonishment from Liam.
The three of them were university students barely a week ago, but the world had already deteriorated to this state. The surrounding buildings looked old and weary, as if they hadn't been washed or dealt with for years.
There was no trace of the formerly bustling and lively city. Instead, it was replaced with the undead wandering around, and none of the living being able to move around freely. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
The presence of undead caused a lot of blood spillage amongst those that had still been living fine after the world changed, spilling blood, gore and guts everywhere.
Once it dried, there wasn't anywhere that was left untouched.
It was even worse in the city, where it felt like it was no-man's land. Despite having driven so far, they still hadn't met another living person.
They were gone. Both her parents, as well as the Roberts' parents were gone.
The thought of it caused Karen to feel like her heart was stuffy and full of untold emotions that she couldn't get rid of. If they hadn't found that their parents wandered around in their respective apartments as zombies, she would still have been able to harbour hope in her heart, but she couldn't any longer.
Karen was only left with swearing to vent at the vile zombies that had ruined the world as tears fell from her eyes. If she hadn't banded up with Lukas and Liam, the Robert twins, she knew that she would likely have been dead by now. Just like her parents.
She first noticed that something was wrong with Lukas when his personality seemed to have undergone a huge change right as the apocalypse started.
He grabbed both her and his twin, shouting at them and shoving them into a vehicle before things started going sideways. He didn't even explain anything before they were whisked away, but Karen saw the outbreak that happened behind her.
A man chomped on a woman's neck, tearing her neck out, causing her to collapse on the ground in a pool of blood.
It wasn't only until the world abruptly changed – and changed for good – that she realized that he'd made the right call the whole time.
It'd been a week. Just a single week, but she'd already seen many things she didn't quite agree with. However, there was no other way around it. This was the world now. What else could they do but adapt?
It had only been a week, but the world had already devolved to this state.
She couldn't even find any sign of life out here in the city that suggested things would improve.
Where were all the people? Surely, they couldn't have all perished.
Lukas brushed his hair back. He'd have to cut it. There were a lot more zombies here now than he thought.
He wondered if he'd made a mistake for coming out here so early before the bases had been set up by the government, but he had no choice. They rushed back here to find out whether both his and Karen's parents were still alive, but it wasn't to be.
They'd barely managed to get a pistol, and the bullets were quickly running out.
He wanted to tell Karen to stop shooting, but he knew that this was Karen's way of venting her emotions. Their emotions.
Even if Lukas had long since come to terms with the fact that his parents were dead, he'd be lying if he said he didn't have the tiniest bit of hope that they were still alive now that he'd regressed.
The only good thing was that he'd come back in time to save his brother and their friend. He'd been the only one to survive the last time, which had been part of his lifelong regrets.
But he was back now, and he was wiser than before. He wouldn't allow them to die this time.
He knew that they'd realized something was off with him – how could they not? But Lukas would rather allow them to come to their own conclusions.
He was lost in thought when he heard Karen exclaim. "Hey, there's a kid there!"
What?
How could there be a kid here in the middle of the city crawling with zombies? That wasn't possible!
The appearance of zombies in the world had quickly wiped out more than ninety five percent of the population, and most children were the first to go.
But when Lukas looked, sure enough, there was a kid that looked eleven or twelve standing out of the way from their vehicle yet stared at them with a faint smile on his face.
Lukas' brows furrowed lightly, breaking his normally stoic expression.
There was really a child.
The ones that did survive all became powerhouses, but he could swear that he'd never heard of someone famous that looked like this child before him.
With those looks, and those crystalline blue eyes that seemed so wide, there was no way that he wouldn't be mentioned in the future if he became someone big.
His expression turned vigilant as he stared at the child, yet when their vehicle went past, this stupid friend of his actually reached out and grabbed the child from outside the jeep, bringing him inside.
Lukas' fingers twitched as he grabbed the child that was in her hands and shuffled him to the back seat together with him.
Karen really…!
Alec resisted the urge to curse them out. It was one thing to be picked up, but another thing altogether to be manhandled when they'd already 'saved' him from the zombies.
"Who are you?" Lukas asked vigilantly.
He looked over the child, but he seemed entirely unharmed. More than that, he didn't have any zombie guts on him nor any cuts, bruises or scrapes. "How are you able to move freely within the zombies?"
Impossible!
