After multiple failed attempts at petting my head, They finally stop doing so, Allowing me to heave a sigh of relief. Now that I think about it, I don't even know their names. Guess I should ask.
"Name?"
"Huh?
"Name"
This time I point at her after asking. She understands what I want and laughs before replying.
"My name is Lucy."
I look at another girl and she also says her name.
"My name is Sheri."
Right as I look to the other girl she cheerily says her name.
"My name is Amy!"
Lucy, Sheri and Amy... At least I know their names now, making it easier to ask them stuff, If need be. After we talk a bit more about random stuff, It is finally pretty late at night so everybody decides to sleep. There are probably a few people still awake, but they are probably just scaredy cats. After looking around to see mostly everyone asleep, I hold my machete in one hand before slumping down in the corner and letting myself fall asleep.
After a few hours I wake up and don't feel tired at all, So I assume it was at least 6 hours. The sky is also starting to brighten up, So I am probably right. There is only a handful of people awake at the moment, Not more than a few dozen. It takes another two hours for everybody to wake up. Everybody walked over to the place where the food is and the leaders gave everybody their daily share of food. The girls naturally brought me my share, Simply because I did not go over. After thanking them I decide to check out the rest of the shops, To get an idea of everything I can buy. First up is the food shop.

Oh! So that is where all the ammo is! There is even gold bars which I can use to buy ammo and food down the road, If need to. I could probably get more ammo and food with a gold bars worth outside of the system shop, So that might be useful eventually. Hey Pha, How long do you think it will take for those stupid zombies to come?
My guess is 3 more hours. There is a 70% chance they will come within 3 hours, The other 30% is within 8 hours.
Hm. I really want them to come faster! I need to find out how many points I get per zombie kill. Who knows, I might get lucky and get a treasure chest or skill book. I also need to level up to increase my stats. Speaking of which I should check my status again so I can remember it clearly.
Name: Twelve Strength: 14 Intelligence: 12 Title 1: N/A Age: 12 Speed: 14 Endurance: 10 Title 2: N/A Gender: Female Dexterity: 12 Vitality: 550 Title 3: N/A Race: Vampire Progenitor Level: 0 Class: N/A Points: 100
Hmm~ My name really did change to Twelve. After a few hours of listening to people talk and the occasional screams, There is finally banging at the entrance, Accompanied by low growls. Pha! Are the zombies finally here?
This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.
Yep! There seems to be a few dozen of them! They will probably break in within 5 minutes, So get ready I guess.
Sweet! It is about time! Watching everybody backing away from the entrance in fear, While listening to the zombies banging at the door, I pick up my machete and walk over to where the other people are gathered. The three girls also follow me over while holding onto their own weapons. When we get over to where they are we can hear Noah giving orders. Obviously he became the complete leader with his smooth talking and deceit. Not that I care.
"Everybody listen up! Stop panicking or it will only make things worse! We need to be ready for when they come in, So create squads! Pick a leader for yourselves and hold onto your weapons to attack them when they come in, or we are all dead!"
After listening to Noah, Everybody started getting organized and creating small teams of 3 or 4 people, Mainly with close friends they can trust. After a few minutes the barricade finally can't hold anymore, Breaking down and allowing the dozens of zombies to start swarming in. It is a pretty freaky sigh, Making a lot of people scream. Though they are mainly girls, The guys aren't looking so good in the face either. Only a few people like Noah aren't completely scared.
When the zombies start swarming us, People obviously attack them with their machetes and metal staffs, It's just that most of them are to scared to actually focus, Resulting in a lot of people getting grabbed and bitten due to missing vital points. It has only been 30 seconds, Yet there is probably already 30 or so people who have died. I did notice a few teams that die good though, Taking turns to attack the zombies in rotations, Resulting in them killing a few.
By the time the zombies got over to me and the other girls, There were still a lot left, At least 3 dozen. Lucy and the others are shaking in fear, Yet they still managed to stop themselves from screaming and raised their weapons. Due to most of the teams at the front being to scared and weak, Not many zombies died on the way to the rest of us. Even a few of the good teams ended up dying due to the front teams stupidity.
When the zombies finally reached me and the girls, I instantly swung my machete at the closest one, Directly slashing it across the left arm halfway through the chest. The arm fell off while the body barely stayed intact, So I quickly slashed at it's head, Directly splitting it open and killing it. Lucy and the others nearly puked seeing this, but managed to stop themselves and started attacking the zombies that got close to them. Together they managed to kill a couple before the other teams started to fall faster, Leading more zombies to us. I continued to kill those that close to me, Also helping Lucy and the others a few times, Before I finally got that system message I wanted.
Congratulations on leveling up! You are level 1, Please choose where to place your 2 stat points!
Without even needing to think I instantly placed them both into Speed, Letting me become even faster than before. Due to this I managed to kill the zombies faster, but not fast enough. After a few minutes, Due to them getting too tired, Sheri and Amy both ended up getting grabbed by a zombie and bitten directly on the throat. They both started struggling and screaming while Lucy killed the zombies attacking them but they both can't make it. After a few more seconds they both lost their lives. Due to there still being zombies around, Lucy wasn't able to stop defending herself from them.
It took us a total of 10 minutes to kill all the zombies in the gym, Leaving us with only half the earlier amount of students. We lost a total of 63 people, Leaving us only 58. A lot of people were mourning for their dead friends, Including Lucy, While the others were moving the zombie bodies too one corner. While I was looking at the zombies I killed I noticed a small white box, Aswell as a book in the middle of the corpses. Naturally knowing what they are, I instantly pick them up and directly store them into the system inventory before anybody noticed. After moving the zombies away, I head back to lucy who is crying beside Sheri and Amy's corpses. Not really knowing what to do I just pat her head, Resulting in her turning around and hugging me, Crying on my shoulder.
After she finishes crying we go back to the corner we were in before, Waiting for the leaders decisions. After we are back to the corner I start talking to Pha. Can you tell me how many points I got per zombie I killed, Pha?
Naturally! Each zombie you killed granted 5 points, While you killed 18 total zombies! That's a total of 90 points! Now you are at 190 points! Oh yeah, Didn't you get a treasure chest and a skillbook? I can finally tell you the grades of treasure chests! They are as following:
1: White Treasure Chest
2: Blue Treasure Chest
3: Green Treasure Chest
4: Red Treasure Chest
5: Black Treasure Chest
White is the worst, While Black is the best! You got a white treasure chest, So you won't get that many good things from it, but you might get a weapon or something useful if you are lucky. I wonder what skill book you got aswell, So take them out and check!
After looking around and seeing nobody paying attention to me I reach into my clothes, Pretending to take something out and brought the treasure chest out. Nobody can see anything, Since I am hiding it beside my body. Lucy isn't paying attention since she is too sad. Pretty sure she is asleep anyways. I open the box, Hoping for something good. What comes out is exactly what I wanted! It was a sharp black dagger. Hey Pha, Can you find out what the dagger is? Like telling me what it's stats or something are?
Yep! Hang on a second. Uh... Here we go!
- BlackSteel Dagger: Very sharp dagger than can directly cut through steel. Doesn't corrode over time. A very good starter weapon.
That's it! You got very lucky getting this, Since nothing in the white treasure chest are better than this thing! The second best thing is a Level 1 Defence Vest. Those can defend against stuff like machetes and metal staffs. You will still feel the blunt force, They just won't damage you if you get hit where the vest is.
Awesome! It is a good thing too, Since this machete seems like it will probably be useless soon. After killing not even 20 zombies it's basically done for. Well let's check what this skill book is then. I bring out the skillbook and have Pha tell me what it is.
- Level 1 Marksmanship Skill: Allows you to have your aim with any type of weapon increased by a lot. Level 1 is basic aim for majority of Police.
Woah! This will be very useful if you manage to get a gun!
OH!! Why do I feel like those gods or whatever are trying to help me? They gave me a dagger and a skillbook made for guns, It's like they are helping me to become an assassin type person like I am wanting to! Not like I care though, Since I damn well am accepting it! After a while it was decided that we will leave the gym to find a spot we can settle at.
Everybody got ready to leave after 10 minutes. Everybody took as much food and water as possible then grabbed their weapons and followed behind Noah and the other leaders. While we were walking around we naturally got found by zombies, Which were quickly killed by the people who killed most of the zombies inside the gym. After we walked for a good few hours we found a little base made at a supermarket with multiple people guarding it from atop a little wall type thing.
After we got close enough for them to notice us, One of the people ran inside and came back out a minute later with 10 people. After we got up to the entrance of the supermarket, They pointed their weapons at us then told us to stop before a person came out from behind them and started asking us stuff.
"Who are you guys? The hell are you all doing outside my base?"
Noah stepped forward to start talking with him.
"We are from the school down at the end of the road. We were originally hiding inside the gym until a few hours ago until the zombies managed to break in. We killed them all in the end, but over half of us died so we all decided to leave, Trying to find a new place. We noticed this place had people and defences, So we were hoping we could join you guys."
"Hm. Most of you do look like you can fight them good enough, So I guess it is fine! Just don't do anything stupid like stealing peoples food, Or else we will attack you guys!"
"No problem! Each of us brought enough food from the gym to last us for a few days, So we won't even need to ask for stuff from you guys until then!"
"Good! then come in and find a spot! It's about to be night time, So it's dangerous. We don't need any distractions right now! You can all find an empty spot and settle down there, We will talk more in the morning!"
"No problem!"
After they finished talking, We all follow Noah inside the supermarket. We noticed that there is a few hundred people here, Most of them being between 14 and 50 years old. I don't see any elderly people, So they probably killed them off or something to not waste resources. Noah leads us all over to a good empty spot and we all settle down at our own spots before getting ready to sleep, Since we are all tired from today.
After I find a good spot, I lead Lucy over and we both sit down and lean against the wall and finally fall asleep after a few minutes.
