" Let's store the for now, I will check once i'm in the house. "
I opened the backpack and stored everything, fortunately the house is not far from here, even if the backpack doesn't weight a lot, it was still heavy and tiring if I had to walk for 2 hours and run away from a group of Zombies.
So I walked my way back home, during this I was thinking about how I could help my friends to have access to the system. I didn't encounter any monster except some rats and birds, lucky for me those monsters didn't attack me, after all the fight, even if my stamina was almost full, I feel tired. This was due to fighting but also the story from this morning. I was lost in my thoughts, when I hear someone shouting not far from me.
" HAAAAAAA, help ! Something wants to eat me ! "
I instantly started running at a fast pace, the world as already lost 90% of his humanity, I had to help this person. I followed the sound of the scream, it was two streets near mine. I saw a woman running away from two Zombies, what was weird was the fact that the Zombie were running at a good speed, if they run 1 km more, they might catch up. Fortunately for her I was here, I eat my last speed apple and rush toward the Zombies.
I ran past the frightened face of this young woman. I armed my fist, fortify it with my skill, small amount of sparks where popping out, with all the momentum of my speed and the speed from the Zombie.
" PAAAA "
A small shockwave was visible. My fist completely exploded his face. Nothing was left, only a dead body, not even bloods or organs were visible, it was like his head was absorbed by a black hole. The power of this skill plus the speed momentum was frightening, my fist was even hurting due to this sudden power, I might have one or two broken bones.. The other Zombie didn't last long, with less power his head was also shattered.
You have killed two lv3 Zombies. +120 exp points.
They were advanced Zombies that why they ran faster. I picked the 13 gold Coins on the floor and walked to the woman. She was blond, tall and with a good shape. Compare to Arianna, she was at a lower level but still beautiful in my eyes.
" Are you alright ? " I said with a reassuring tone.
" Thank you so much.. I was so worried to die here.. You are so strong." She hugged me with tears in her eyes.
If both, Cassandra and Arianna were there, i'm sure they would have killed me.
" It's okay, why were you running in the street ? Why didn't you hide somewhere ? "
" They force me to go find food outside.. I didn't want to do that, but they threatened my sister, if I come back without any food.. My sister will die. " She began to cry even more.
" Even with an apocalypse, where people need to stay strong together, there are still some trash humans.. I'm pretty sure it's some people who thinks their lives are worth more than those of others. What should I do.. I can't let her like this. " I said in my head.
After some thinking, I decieded to help her.
" I will help you get your sister back, show me the way where she is. "
" Thank you so much, if you can free my sister, my life will belong to you. She is all I have left now.. "
" Her life will belong to me.. mhh so that mean I can do whatever I want with her ? Hehe...... What the hell i'm I thinking now ! " I slapped my cheeks in order to regain my sense.
" I will do everything I can. "
We walked for almost 10 minutes, the place she shows me was a destroy big mall. The entrance was guarded by two tall man, they both had an axe in her hand.
" They both unlock the system and choose the class warrior I guess " I said in my head.
The entrance was guarded but it was also locked with the skill " Earth wall ". This was some kind of high level defense, well, depend on their level, but it was definitely some old soldiers or something near that.
" Stop right here, you are not allowed to enter this place, please scram. " One of the two men shouted.
" It's me Lora, let me in you guys know me. "
" Oh, the boss sends you on a journey to find food, you already came back ? "
" I couldn't find anything, I was also purchased by some monsters.. "
The man kicked violently on the ground the woman and said.
" You dare to come back here with nothing ? you little cunt, don't even diserve to live, go die ! "
Before he kicked her again, I trhow a constitution apple at the man.
" Will this be enough to pay the entrance ? " I said with anger in my voice.
" Eheh, hello young boy, sure you can enter, even if it's only one apple, it's definitely worth an entrance. In contrary, this woman as nothing, I will play with her right now ! "

" What is wrong with those people.. Anyway I don't want to fight.." I said in my head. It's not that I doubt about my capacity, but more that I don't want to fight against another human, it's so nonsense.
" Alright take another. " I throw another apple at the guy.
" It's your lucky day, well only to go in, the boss will not be as merciless as me. "
I helped her to stand up, and enter in the huge mall.
" I'm so sorry to trouble you.. Please forgive me.. I just want you to save my sister.. even if I die, save her please, she is the kindest girl on this planet. "
I just nodded at her, I was kind of embarrassed. I couldn't imagine what she endure until now, but just looking at what happened now.. It makes me angry like a mad man. Human kind is really rotten, I will save her sister no matter what and bring them to the house where they will be safe with me and my friends.
In the mall, they were a lot of people, I would say around 50, young to old, men and women. They all look so tired and starving, I could think that these people were Zombies.. On contrary some man who all wield axe, where well fed. I calm myself otherwise I would have break this place with all my power.
" My sister is locked somewhere in the mall, I don't know where.. "
" It's fine let's search together. "
She didn't reply but smile freshly at me. My heart skiped a beat.. Wow she is beautiful..
You find a hidden quest.
Help Lora found her sister and escape from this place.
rewards : 1000 exp, 1 skill book.
Main objective : 0%
Hidden objective : 0%
" A quest ? It's like in a game.. Well I shouldn't be so shocked, it's like this since the beginning, but how can a quest pop now, is she an npc ? " I said in my head.
The reward wasn't bad at all, but what is the second objective ? I will probably figure it out later.
" Your name is Lora right ? Are you really human ? " I couldn't hold myself, I had to ask her.
" It's a weird question, but yes for both. " She look at me weirdly after this sudden question.
We started searching for her sister, first on the lower floor. We found only a few doors who lead right in some storage room, but no sign of weird activity or sign of her sister..
" She must be on the second floor.. " She sighed.
" Why did you make a weird face ? Is there something bad on the second floor ? "
" It's not bad but annnoying, all the rich people are on the second floor and it's really well guarded by some man with axe.. "
Problems will start now, we were kind of free on the first floor, but now we need to go on the second floor who was guarded. It's unfortunate that I didn't get any concealment skill..
" Since it's like this, we need to prepare first, by any chance do you know about the system in this world ? "
" Oh yes, I did, I'm so unfamiliar with games but i'm a level 2 farmer. You on the other side look really powerful, I'm glad I met you. " She kisse me on the cheek.
I started blushing.. Even if I'm in love with Arianna and liking Cassandra, I can't hold myself in front of a beautiful woman..
" I have some skill book and Trash boxes that I didn't opened yet, maybe we can get something useful. "
I had 2 skill books and 5 boxes, I'm like a gambling addict. From the 5 boxes, There was two empty, the rest give us something good, speed apple, and two Trash axe. For me those rewards where like trash in comparison to the backpack but still useful.
" Wow, it's the first time I see some boxes like this. Lucky me, I didn't get one otherwise I would be so addicted at opening them. Before the apocalypse I was a casino manager, so I love random stuff. "
I gave her one axe in order to defend herself and stop being bullied by those mad men. Next was the skill books.

" Saving your sister is now possible without any big problems ! " I said in a reassuring tone.
" For real ? You are clearly my guardian angel, i'm so glad I met you. "
I smile because I could see her eyes shone with a thousand lights. I blushed again..
" Gosh, she is way too cute.. My heart won't hold. "
I was the only one who got new skill, I feel kind of greedy. Because she had the system, she could now learn skill. So I gave her " Water splash " even if it's a bad skill, it will be useful i'm pretty sure.
" I can't take it.. thank you so much I will be able to help you that way. Hope you don't have any girlfriend because my heart tell me that you are the guy I need in my life. " She kiss me on my lips.
My heart skipped a beat again.. I will die for sure even before returning home..
" Cough, Cough.. We are ready now, let's save your sister. "
