I open my eyes and sit up before stretching my body and looking around the supermarket. There is around 200 or so people here, So it is a decently sized group. I just don't know how many can actually fight. I look to the entrance and see a bit of light peeking through, Which means it is already morning.
'Pha, How long did I sleep for?'
You slept for a total of 6 hours and 53 minutes. Longer than an average sleep during an apocalypse, So I guess it is lucky for you.
'I see. How long has it been since the apocalypse started?'
The apocalypse started about 4 days ago, I think.
4 days huh~ Still a ways to go until the monsters start evolving,Huh... Well let's check my status, I guess.
Name: Twelve Strength: 14 Intelligence: 12 Title 1: N/A Age: 12 Speed: 16 Endurance: 10 Title 2: N/A Gender: Female Dexterity: 12 Vitality: 550 Title 3: N/A Race: Vampire Progenitor Level: 2 Class: N/A Points: 190
'Hey Pha, Is there no such things like Health, Mana or Stamina? I can't find them on the status screen. Also what is this class thing about?'
For the class, You are able to receive a class from a started village, Which a few of them will randomly spawn around the world after 7 days have passed, So in another 3 days. To check your Health and Stamina, You just have to think of them like you would for the status, It just doesn't show up on it.
'Health' 'Stamina'
Health: 300/300
Stamina: 150/150
Oh~ I don't know if those are good numbers, But I guess they would be. Well, I have 190 points, Yet I need 500 just to be able to buy a pistol, Let alone the ammo... I wish there was a way to lower the shop costs...
'Pha, Are my Health and Stamina above average or normal?'
Above average, I'd say. Most people only have around 100-200 health at most before getting equipment. As for stamina, It is normally just at 100. So your race gives you more benefits than we originally thought it did.
So I basically have double the amount of health a normal person does... I guess that is good. I guess stamina will be what I use when I get new active skills, That or it is just there to tell you to rest or something.
It takes around 30 more minutes for people to start waking up. When everybody is awake, The people whom I assume are the leaders hand out food to everybody, Including my group. They gave everybody a box of noodles and a water bottle. I wonder if I should sneakily store some food inside of my storage when nobody is around, Just incase something happens.
While eating my... Breakfast, I observe the people of this group. They are creating small hunting groups to hunt zombies to increase their levels it seems. Pretty smart idea. I wonder if I should join them, Since it would give me a reason to leave and hunt zombies like I want, Since I need more points. After thinking about it for a while, I notice 3 groups leaving so I decide to follow one of them. Naturally, They don't notice me since my speed is pretty insane this early on, So I easily slip past everybody and start following behind them.
I follow them for about 10 minutes before they find any zombies. They quickly got into some sort of formation, With 3 people with machetes in the front and 3 people with metal poles in the back. It seems like they have a decent enough strategy. I watch them fight around 10 zombies easily, Switching positions with eachother after each kill, Resulting in everybody getting exp, Aswell as no chance for injuries. It is a pretty good strategy, Assuming there is not a lot of zombies around you.
After watching them for a while I decide to go in my own direction to find some zombies for myself to kill, Rather than just following behind them. I head into an alley behind me and jump up onto the roof of the buildings easily, Thanks to my Speed and Strength. After getting to the top of the building, I jump across to other roofs, Searching for groups of zombies. I jump around for about 5 minutes, Only losing 5 stamina surprisingly, Before I find a small group of 8 zombies.
I take out my least damage machete from the storage and jump at the closest zombie, Slashing towards it's torso. I quickly seperate the top half of it's body, Instantly killing it. The other 7 zombies notice me and instantly start coming over to me. I make use of my high speed and dexterity, Allowing me to stab the machete towards vital areas on the zombies, Such as the head and chest, Easily killing them. It only takes me 3 minutes to kill all 8 zombies, I didn't get any drops though.
I decide to look for another group, So I jump back onto the roofs and search. I find a group of 5 zombies, Much closer to the supermarket than before, So I do the same thing as last time, Instantly killing the first zombie, Then killing the remaining ones once they got close enough, Utilizing my speed properly. This time, I get a white treasure chest, Which I decide to open. Out of it comes a pair of black boots.
'Pha, If you would show me the boots stats, I would appreciate it.'
Sure! Here you go.
- Black Agility Boots: Boots made out of strong Black Leather. While wearing these boots, You gain an extra 2 speed.
Oh~ Very good boots! I quickly boot them on and I do indeed feel like I can move faster then before. This is very useful, Huh. After this little hunt of mine, I gained 65 points and a good pair of boots. Not bad at all~ I currently have 255 points now, Huh. After sorting through my status, I head back to the supermarket. I hop into one of the trees that is inside the barricade and just sit there for a little bit before jumping down, Obviously in front of a few people. This would make them think I was in the tree the whole time, Just incase people wondered where I was.
After I jumped down, The people nearby were startled, Resulting in them pointing their weapons at me. Noticing it was just the little girl from the new group, They just looked at eachother and lowered their weapons, All the while laughing awkwardly. I just ignore them and walk back inside the supermarket and over to the area my group was given. I notice most of them are just sitting around, Most likely thinking of what to do from now on, While others are playing a game of cards.
I just sit down on one of the empty shelf things and watch them play their card games. They play for a few hours before they stop. I guess it is around 2 pm or so by now. I notice that the leaders are handing out food now, Which means it's probably the lunch. I get a packed sandwich and another wattle bottle, So does everyone else. At least it isn't one of those small sandwiches. It's one of those big chicken salad ones, Which will probably fill us up for while.
By the time everyone finishes eating it is around 3:30. One of the leaders says the leaders will be holding a talk or something at 4, So everybody should be outside, Or so they say. Not that I care~ Well I will still go to it, Since it seems interesting. Wonder what it is all about~
By the time it is 4, Everybody is outside of the supermarket. In front of us is all 5 leaders and their groups. After a few minutes one of them starts to talk.
"Hm. The reason we called all of you out here is because all of you who are currently not in a group will be joining one of the 5 groups now. Most of you are probably not willing, but you have to join one. Rather than just living like shut in wimps who are afraid to do anything, All the while leeching of those risking their lives, You all will be joining those of us who go out daily. This way you can all train yourselfs and get stronger. This will help everyone. So us leaders will be choosing people one at a time until everyone is in a group, So stand in lines, So we can pick more easily."
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
After he finished that he had one of his team leaders get everybody in a few lines, Making it easier to pick from us. I just stand at the back, Not caring about this since i will be joining a random group, Probably not being able to do anything anyways.
After a while the leaders start picking people on by one, Taking turns. The first person to get picked is the person we had as a leader. I completely forgot about his name though. Well, I forgot about everybodies names, Except for Lucy... Well not that it matters. After a while I got bored due to them taking so long to pick, So I jump onto the top of the supermarket and just sit down watching from above. It takes a while for anybody to notice me, but after a minute or so each of the leaders finally noticed me and looked over, Resulting in most people looking up to see me sitting on the roof casually.
It surprises a few of them, Probably due to me being a little girl for most, While for the others it is because I jumped onto the roof without them noticing anything. After that they all just ignore me and start picking people again. All except for one of them. The leader with glasses is just staring at me. I just look back at him and narrow my eyes before I ignore him and look at everybody else. He looks back down for a while and picks a few more people. I'm just ignoring everyone basically, Since I need no part of this, Since I can just hunt on my own.
After a while when there is only about 50 people left, I notice the glasses guy looking at me again before he starts saying something.
"Little girl on the roof, Come down and join my team."
I look at him a bit surprised, Which everyone else does aswell. Probably wondering why he would pick a little girl to join his group. I just shrug and jump off the roof before heading over to his group area. I find a tree beside his area and I jump up it and sit on one of the thicker branches while waiting for this to be over. I wait about 10 minutes and everybody has finally been picked. After that they glasses guy comes over.
"Alright then. Since everyone here is some I am putting into my group now, It is time for introductions. My name is Adam, and I will be your leader. Now it is time for you all to introduce yourselves to all of us, So we can know your names. Starting from you."
He points to one of the guys closest to him, who opens his mouth and starts talking.
"My names Liam. I'm good at calculating strategies, I guess."
After that he points to another person and they keep introducing themselves to everyone. Most notable people are Liam, A tall guy named Gary and a girl named Wendy. They seem to be the strongest people in this group of people chosen. After a while, Everyone but me has introduced themself. Adam notices I am not here so he asks,
"Where is that little girl at?"
"Oh, Shes in the tree for some reason."
Why did you have to give me away, Huh... Since he knows I just jump out of the tree and land in front of him. He then smiles and says,
"There you are. Since you are down, Introduce yourself to us."
"I'm Twelve."
That's all I say since I don't think I need to say anything else. They just look at me weirdly before adam asks,
"Your name is Twelve? I see. What are you good at?"
Seriously, Why do people keep thinking my name is weird... It is not that weird... Oh well.
"I am good at killing."
He looks startled before he smiles.
"I see! It's a good thing you are good at killing, SInce this world is about killing. Well since everybody has introduced themselves, I think it is time for us to go hunting for zombies to kill. This way we can get some people to level up, Also maybe getting a chest and skill book or two, If we are lucky."
After that he has everybody get their weapons and then once they all have them in their hands, He leads us out of the gate and we head west. it's around 5 pm right now, So we can hunt for about 3 hours before it starts getting dark, Which should be enough time.
We walk for around 10 minutes before we find a little store and a few people head in to check it out. After a while they come out and tell Adam that there is still food and some random medicine left inside.
"Since there is still food and medicine left, 6 of you will head inside and put the food and medicine inside your packs, So we can bring it back to the supermarket. It is always better to have more food, Especially medicine. Liam you take 5 people inside and start packing the stuff up while we wait here."
"Yes sir. Jack, Sara, Lia, Noah and Twelve. You 5 come with me to pack everything up."
He calls me over to pack with them, For some reason. Not that I mind, SInce I can sneakily store some stuff inside my storage to keep as my private stash. We all head in the store and I head over to a back area alone and start packing food and some medicine. I put bandages and painkillers inside of my storage, Only putting about 20% that I found in my pack. I put a bunch of food like protein bars and canned food in the pack, Including water. Around 70% of the food went into my pack, While the rest went into my storage. This way I have a decent stash of food if need be.
After that I head back over to where the rest are packing. I notice they took mostly bagged food, Which is just stupid. I ignore it though, Since it is their problem. After everyone has their pack full we head out of the store, Finding the rest of the team. Seeing us come out, Adam calls us over.
"Since you guys are done packing, Then come over and get back into the group. We are going to go and hunt some zombie groups now. Hopefully some of you will level up. Now come."
After that he heads to the front of the group with his 2 team leaders and we keep walking. We find a few lonesome zombies, Which are quickly killed. After about 40 minutes we finally find a little pack of zombies, Numbering around 20, I'd say. Adam quickly has people get into groups and we attack the zombies from all directions. I just sit back and watch these fools attack the zombies with their futile swings. It only takes 2 minutes before people start dying. The first person to die is one of the people in the front, A girl named Tiffany. She missed her slash by a lot and got grabbed by the zombies and dragged into the group. She was dead almost instantly.
After seeing her death, Most people start panicking and they also start missing their attacks and getting bitten. After the 8th person dies, I finally can't take it anymore and take my machete and head to the front. I quickly kill a zombie with a sideways slash of my machete and split it in half. Right after that I swung it at another zombie, Resulting in a quick beheaded zombie. After that I slash at a zombie, Leaving a giant gash in it's chest. It doesn't die right away, So I just stabbed my machete into it's brain. Then I quickly killed the last few zombies, Leaving none of those attacking my little group alive. Then I get that sweet notification.
You have leveled up to 3! You have 2 free stat points.
I put both points into my speed and I notice a few white treasure chests in the dead pile, Which I quickly pick up. I put 2 of them inside my storage, and pick the other one up in my hands, Before simply putting it into my bag. This way, Nobody will be suspicious since I have one in my bag, Rather than not having any inside it.
Adam's side quickly finishes off the rest of the zombies before looking over to our side and sees me covered in blood. He can probably figure out what happened, Considering he just shakes his head and calls everyone over to him.
"Well, Most of you people died. It looks like around 13 of you died total. It's not a good thing, But it could have been worse, If not for Twelve here killing the zombies on your side. That is what I want you all to be able to do. Killing the zombies without fear, Which only results in you becoming sluggish in your movements, Letting you get caught by the zombies."
Everyone in my group just lowers their heads and looks at the ground, Seemingly embarrassed that a little girl is stronger than them and easily killed zombies they couldn't do anything against.
"Well at least you didn't all run away completely and at least stayed around the fight, Which is good enough for starters. Anyway, Since there was some treasure chests dropped, Whoever got them, It belongs to them to use themselves. This way you can get better gear, Hopefully. Now let's head back to the supermarket, SInce it will be night by the time we are back."
Oh~ He lets whoever picked up the chests to use them, That's surprising. I thought he would have us give them to him. I guess he is actually a good leader, Since this will motivate people to train themselves so they can kill zombies to get chests and skill books for their use. It takes us around 30 minutes to get back to the supermarket, Probably because we knew the path was safe.
After we got back, Another group also got back. This group looks like it only lost 5 or so people, Which is very good to be honest. I don't bother with anybody and just head back into the supermarket and head to the area I was at least night. I take out the white treasure chest that is in my bag and open it. I got a pair of black pants.
'Pha~ Show me the info~"
- Sturdy Black Pants: These are pants made out of sturdy material that can block a few attacks, As long as they are not that strong. Wearing them gives you 2 endurance.
Oh~ Some extra endurance is good. My endurance stat is pretty low compared to my other stats, I guess. So this is good. I put these on and I now have black boots, black pants and a ripped makeshift males school uniform top on. I should try to find a shirt that would fit me, or buy one. After a while everybody ate their own dinner and then we all started to head to sleep. Naturally, I also joined them...
