Nathan was running through a neighborhood while still carrying Zita on his arms.

He glanced behind him.

'No one is following...'

'Am I really on the clear...?'

'No...'

'I still need more distance just in case...'

He returned his gaze forward

Up ahead, there were two zombies.

'D1 and an N-type zombie...'

'I don't have time for this...!'

He changed his direction.

Roar!

Roar!

Unfortunately, the zombies noticed him and they roared before chasing him.

Nathan ignored them and continued running at full speed.

The two zombies were no match against his speed that the distance between them was only growing by the second.

"ROAR!" the N-type roared.

Roar!

Roar!

A series of roars came from a distance but in different locations.

"Tch!"

Nathan made a cl.i.c.k.i.n.g sound with his tongue as he heard the roars.

"Mister, there's an M2 up in the air behind us!" Zita said in a somewhat muffled voice because she had five Healing Packets inside her mouth.

Her head was over Nathan's left shoulder so she was able to see the zombie.

'F.u.c.k me sideways...!' Nathan cursed inside his head.

He decided to find an open space where he could fight all the zombies.

***

Roar!

Roar!

In less than a minute, there were already eight zombies chasing them.

Fortunately, Nathan was also able to find an open area.

It was a park.

He rushed to the middle of the park before putting Zita down.

He didn't bother talking, let alone discussing anything with her.

He just turned around and rushed to the zombies immediately.

Clap.

He finally got to the zombies.

Roar!

Roar!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

He cut down two S1s and one [Green] Treasure C.h.e.s.t appeared.

However, he didn't stop and immediately activated [Coward's Way] this time around before charging to face the remaining zombies.

Whoosh!

He cut down an N1 and lost his invisibility before activating his skill once again.

An N2 threw a [Stone Spear] where Nathan was last seen.

Whoosh!

A blade of a sword sliced through the N2's neck and a [Blue] Treasure C.h.e.s.t appeared.

Roar!

An N1 pounced at Nathan.

Woooh!

Suuup!

Thud!

A Bolt came flying and shot through the side of its head in mid-air, causing its leap attack to change trajectory and land on the ground.

Wooh!

Wooh!

Wooh!

Suuup!

Suuup!

Suuup!

Nathan was above to finish the N1 when Zita shouted, "Mister, above you! Watch out!"

An M2 up in the air with a bolt stuck on its neck threw a [Fireball] at him.

Nathan rolled over to the side to avoid the [Fireball].

Boom!

The [Fireball] hit the grass and exploded, spreading its flames around the area of its explosion for a few seconds before finally disappearing.

Nathan ignored the M2 and went for the other zombies.

The M2 was about to throw another spell when…

Wooh!

Suuup!

"Roar!" the M2 yelped as it was struck in the head with a Bolt before it began falling from the sky.

Bam!

It finally landed on the ground.

Whoosh!

Nathan just finished killing the last D1.

He summoned his weapons back into his [Artifact] Gold Spatial Finger and went to Zita right away who was about to go and open the treasure c.h.e.s.ts.

"Come on," he said as he scooped her in his arms.

"Mister, my Bolts. I haven't yet --"

"Forget about it," he said and then ran.

Voooooom!

***

Nathan and Zita arrived in front of a three-story office building.

He put her down before summoning a pair of thermal vision goggles and wore it.

He looked around his surroundings.

'Still no one…'

'I still don't hear helicopters either…'

He removed his thermal vision goggles and summoned them back before turning to Zita.

"Stay behind me and keep your eyes peeled and your ears open," he said before entering the building.

"Yes, mister," Zita said and followed suit.

Roar!

About a dozen meters away from Nathan and Zita were standing, a zombie came out from the side of a building and roared before charging.

Roar!

Roar!

Roar!

It was followed by another group of roars.

Nathan and Zita stopped and looked at the zombie coming at them.

'Skinny… And based on its speed, it's an S1...' Nathan thought.

The other zombies that roared earlier came into vision as well and were behind the S1.

"Wait here," Nathan said as he summoned a [Grade D] Great Sword this time around and then charged at the zombies.

He wasn't invisible. So when he got close to the S1, the zombie immediately lunged at him.

Roar!

Nathan activated [Coward's Way] and sidestepped before cutting the S1 down.

Whoosh!

He lost his invisibility and activated it once more before dealing with the other remaining zombies.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Nathan finished killing the zombies and there was a [Green] Treasure C.h.e.s.t.

'I really don't have time for this...!' he thought as he looked at the zombie corpses and the c.h.e.s.t.

He summoned back his sword and decided to open the c.h.e.s.t because he didn't want it to attract any attention.

When he opened it, his already irritated expression became worse.

It was a [Fireball] spellbook.

He picked up the spellbook.

"Piece of shit item!" he said as he tossed it inside one of the buildings.

He jogged back to Zita and they entered the building.

***

Inside the building…

Nathan and Zita were walking along the main hall on the first floor as he swept his gaze around.

He was walking too fast and combined with his long strides that Zita had to jog from time to time to keep up with his pace.

On the right side was the reception area and also a door that looked like a storage room.

Ka-cha!

He opened a door.

'Nothing but cleaning materials...'

'Looks clear...'

Ku-chud!

He closed the door to the left side of the main hall.

On this side of the first floor, there was a lounging area and also two toilets, one for each gender.

Ka-cha!

He opened the door of the male CR.

Sniff.

'Smells bad but looks clean...'

Ku-chud!

He closed the door.

Ka-cha!

He opened the door of the female CR.

Sniff.

'Why do female bathrooms always smell better...?'

Ku-chud!

He closed the door.

'No one here...'

'No cracks on the wall…'

'No bloodstains as well…'

'There hasn't been any fight here -- yet…'

'Well, at least the foundation of the building is still strong and there will be no unecessary elements in case a fight breaks out here…'

He made his way to the staircase.

***

On the second floor.

They were walking along a corridor.

'This floor has its own toilet, huh,' he thought as he glanced two doors with a toilet sign.

Ka-cha!

He opened the door of the male CR.

Sniff.

'Still the same...'

Ku-chud!

He closed the door.

Ka-cha!

He opened the door of the female CR.

Sniff.

'Seriously, no joke, why do female bathrooms always smell better...?'

Ku-chud!

He closed the door and resumed walking along the corridor.

'Looks clear,' he thought as he passed by a meeting room that had a see-through glass wall.

He and Zita finally arrived at the final room on the second floor.

It was the largest room on the floor.

There were at least ten desks and there was one small room with see-through glass walls which served as the office of the manager's office.

Nathan swept his gaze at the desks as he made his way to the manager's office.

There were piles of doc.u.ments and half-filled coffee mugs on top of the desks.

Ka-cha!

Nathan opened the door of the manager's office.

'Looks good...'

He turned to Zita.

"Wait here and prepare your weapons."

"Okay," she said as she entered before summoning a couple of Bolts and let them hover around her.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

Nathan summoned a couple of weapons as well and dropped them on the floor inside of the office.

"Use these. No matter what happens, don't step outside. And if someone appears other than me, do not hesitate to kill them. Also, shout to call me. Do you understand me?"

Zita looked at the weapons on the floor.

"Yes, mister..."

"Zita, I repeat: Do not hesitate to kill. I'm serious. This is no joke. Whatever they look like, human or animal, as long as it's not me, kill them. Do you understand me?"

She looked at him, nodded and then said, "Yes, I won't hesitate to kill."

"Good. I'll be back in 5-10 minutes," he said before closing the door and activating [Coward's Way].
