Chapter 109: This Is Stupid

There had been multiple times when both Tyler and Neil were so deeply engrossed in kissing that they would simply forget their surroundings, and this was one of those times. Their lips moved in sync as hands got busy tracing each other's spine. Tyler gripped the male lead's hair, pulling the man toward him.

But just as they were about to go to the next stage, someone's harsh voice forced them to come back to their senses.

"At a time like this, you two still have the time to kiss." Gavin sneered after seeing the two people jumping suddenly. "What a wonderful leader you are, Neil!"

The male lead couldn't help but glare at the man and fixed his appearance before asking, "Did you do the work I assigned you?"

"Look who's asking!" Gavin snorted at those words. He clearly didn't like the way this person led the group. Others were working their asses off while Neil was kissing his partner! If it weren't for Tyler, he would have scolded him already! "Do you not want to become a leader?"

"Nah." Neil shrugged. "I'm better off, but I clearly have no other choice."

Gavin stared at the man coldly and averted his eyes. This person knew how to get on his nerves! So he glared at the man for one last time before walking out of the house, not even glancing back at the couple.

"Let's go." Tyler grabbed Neil's wrist and dragged the person out of here. He knew that if they continued to stay here, they might end up being the target of people like Gavin.

So after that, what happened was within the expectations of both the male lead and Tyler. At first, they followed a particular zombie along with a few people like Gavin and Ray. Others had formed another group under Phil's lead and gone to find a zombie.

This particular scene should have been solemn where people are trying to overcome their fear while following the zombie. But why did this event seem to be something out of a comedy book all of a sudden?!

When the zombie stopped, all the people who were following behind would stop in unison, and when it would walk, everyone would walk slowly one after another as if it were nothing but a train of people!

"This is stupid," Ray said, finally realizing the absurdity of what they were doing. After applying the zombie blood, they could clearly see that none of the zombies could identify them. That meant these monsters would only go after the people who would smell like humans.

At a time like this, Ray wasn't the only one who found this entire scene funny. Neil, standing at the end, was also trying to hold his laughter. Since he was at the end of the line with Tyler, he had seen how the entire procession would stop and suddenly walk in unison. And at this time, he suddenly remembered an anime that had a similar comedy scene and couldn't hold in his laughter.

Just then, Tyler poked his waist and glared at the male lead. "Concentrate!"

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry."

After following the zombie for a while, the group was finally able to figure out what was happening. These monsters would accidentally eat the power core found in the heart region of every human they killed. And just like that, these zombies were able to power up. So that meant the zombie that had attacked them had perhaps killed most humans!

Even thinking about it made people shiver from head to toe!

Then someone just voiced out a doubt that made everyone in the group nervous.

"Then do we need to kill each other for powering up?"

They all exchanged a glance and couldn't help but put their guards up. If that were the case, then even friends wouldn't stay loyal, then what to speak of strangers they met while traveling?

At this time, neither Tyler nor Neil tried to calm down the situation. It wasn't like they didn't want to. It was just that they already knew everything. According to the story, someone from the group should suggest that perhaps they should follow the zombie for a few more hours rather than go against one another.

So both of them stayed silent and waited for that person from the group to step up.

But what Gavin saw was that Tyler and Neil looked calmer than ever, which seemed like these two people surely knew something, but they didn't want to tell everyone about it. So he couldn't help but narrow his eyes at them.

If such people would be the team leaders, that group of people was doomed to die a tragic death. At this, Gavin couldn't help but glare at Neil and turned his head.

But he wasn't the only one who was observing others. The male lead, who had seen the changes on Gavin's face, couldn't help but want to rush out and kill that person in an instant! He could already tell that this person must be thinking badly of him and Tyler!

But before he could head over and fight with the other person, Tyler stopped him again.

"Gavin would separate after this. Don't bother."

Neil snorted and stood beside his baby with arms crossed on his chest.

Gavin, on the other hand, separated the two people who were about to fight and said, "We shouldn't just blame and eye each other. Let's follow the monster and see what happens, okay? Isn't it that novels usually say that even zombies have such a power core?"

Others calmed down and found that this person's words were reasonable.

After everything was done, the group quickly realized that even zombies had the core, as Gavin had suggested. They couldn't help but see this person with glistening eyes. They were clearly admiring him! This man was brilliant. Even if Gavin wasn't as powerful as Neil and Tyler, this man had a brain more powerful than those people! So they couldn't help but wish that Gavin should have been their leader.

On the other side, both Tyler and the male lead saw the changes in the rest of the men's faces and nodded in satisfaction. For the first time, the arc was going so smoothly that they couldn't help but feel elated. But would there be another storm that would come after this silent and calming scene?
