Opening the door, Lorien found Komuro, Rei, Saya, and Hirano standing nervously in front of him.
"How can I help you?" Asked Lorien curious as to what their purpose may be.
"I...W-We Want to leave the base!"
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Lorien truly felt baffled, in this sort of apocalyptic environment, who in their right mind would leave such a safe base and choose to fight zombies outside?
'Are they out of their minds?'
But after thinking about it for a moment and using the information he remembers from the anime as a reference, Lorien quickly found the answer.
'They are still high school students, they are more emotional than rational...'
'Rei and Komuro probably want to find their families, Saya also has the same reason but she also wants to follow Komuro, as for Hirano, he just goes wherever Saya is!'
'Truly, a bunch of kids...'
Shaking his head, Lorien didn't try keeping them, nor did he want to, after all, he is not their nanny, if they are so adamant about risking their lives, then why stop them?
Not to mention that Lorien is a bit curious if they'll be able to survive on their own with all of the changes that happened because of his arrival.
'Saeko and Shizuka are no longer with them, this is likely because they didn't have the chance to meet while running away, this caused them to not have the same kind of bond they had in the original, now, they are at most acquaintances.'
'Without this sort of relationship, Shizuka and Saeko obviously won't go with them, not that they weren't invited in the first place.'
'Really, I wonder if these hormonal morons will survive...'
Thinking of this, Lorien smiled lightly and responded.
"No problem, I'll also provide you with a car and some food!"
Hearing this, the nervous group finally heaved a sigh of relief as they then quickly bowed and thanked him.
"Thank you!" x4
"Do you want to leave now or later?" Said Lorien, seeing this.
"Preferably now..."
"No problem, Follow me!"
Making his way to the empty square behind the huge gate, Lorien used his power to make a 4x4 and filled its trunk with supplies.
"It's filled with fuel and supplies, it should be enough to take you wherever you want to!"
Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.
"Thank you!" x4
Nodding in response, Lorien didn't immediately open the gate to them but turned his head toward the apartments where the survivors are living.
"To anyone who also wants to leave! Come here to the square, I'll provide you with a vehicle and some supplies!"
"You have 15 minutes to choose!"
With his voice getting 'magically' carried to the apartment building, it suddenly sounded right in their ears.
"Ah!"
"What!"
Getting startled, some of them couldn't help but scream in fright while others dropped what they were holding in their hands, of course, there are a minority who reacted calmly.
But after understanding the situation, all of the survivors walked to their balconies to watch the situation from afar.
Not bothering with them, Lorien leaned on the 4x4, closed his eyes, and started waiting patiently.
After 15 minutes, he'll open the gates and kill the zombies in front of it which will effectively give them a clear path out of the base, this is his last kindness to them.
Lorien's previous actions when constructing the base and clearing the surroundings made a lot of noise which attracted a large number of zombies, so without his help, leaving the place would be a nightmare.
*Step* *Step* *Step*
Then, just as Lorien was waiting, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded nearby.
Opening his eyes, Lorien turned his head slightly to look at the newcomers, whoever came here is also planning on leaving so he is curious as to who they are.
'Oh, So it's him, no wonder...'
'Frankly, after the last interaction, I can't blame him for trying to leave.'
'Doesn't matter anyways, he'll be dead soon...'
But Lorien wasn't the only one to see people arriving as the group of four who were preparing also noticed them.
"SHIDO!!"
The first to react was rei who had hatred for him, but after the first growl she quickly quieted down, as for the others, they didn't have much of a reaction, rather, they were trying to hold back their laughs.
Shido currently still had the clown's make-up on him alongside the weird hair, so even though he changed his clothes, it didn't help much, in fact, it made him look funnier.
'That's a special makeup, don't even think about removing it!'
Silently smiling in his heart, Lorien still spoke in a neutral tone.
"Do you also want to leave?"
"Yes." responded Shido respectfully.
Nodding, Lorien then walked a couple of meters away from the 4x4 and then made a similar one in a different color while also filling it with some supplies.
"Here you go!"
"Thank you!" x4
Looking at Shido and the 3 students thanking him, Lorien felt speechless.
'In this short period of time, he was actually able to take advantage of their weakness after I spoke the truth about the apocalypse and manipulated them.'
'They now probably believe whatever he said.'
'Doesn't matter though, He won't live long with Saigai's doom power shrouding him.'
Not bothering with them anymore, Lorien shook his head slightly.
"Okay! get ready, I am going to open the door!" Spoke Lorien.
Hearing this, the two groups immediately got ready and quickly got into their respective cars.
Seeing this, Lorien didn't waste any more time as he walked toward the gate and opened it with a wave of his hand.
*Click*
*Creeeak*
As soon as the gates were opened, the zombies behind it tried rushing in, but no matter how much they tried they couldn't move an inch forward.
"ROOAAAR!!!!!!"
Not caring about the fearful looks made by the two groups behind as they watch this wave of zombies, Lorien raised his hand slowly and used his power.
[Dream/Reality]: Erase
And in an instant, the road was clear as all the zombies outside disappeared.
*VROOM*
With nothing blocking their path, the two cars didn't waste this opportunity, immediately accelerating out of the base and into the city as the gates slowly closed behind them.
Finishing his work, Lorien gave a last glance in their direction as he felt the [Luck] gained by erasing the zombies just now.
Smiling happily, he patted the none existence dust off his hand and started walking toward the villa, but then, just after a couple of steps, he suddenly turned his head toward the apartment building as a look of confusion appeared on his face.
'Huh?'
'Why are there people missing?'
