Chapter 114: Chapter 114 – Night time

After searching for a while, he found the group in front of the warehouse. They seemed to try to find him as well.

"I will go along with your plan this time, chat," Max muttered as he approached the others, apologizing for getting separated. He told them that he daydreamed and actually entered an alleyway by mistake.

Everyone accepted his excuses, but Flexy kept poking fun at him while they looted the warehouse.

"Hehe, don't get separated again. You can hold my hand if you want to."

"Gross!"

"Eh, I tried to be nice even though you left me behind. I guess you don't want it."

"Guys, keep looting. We need to move fast and upgrade our shelter to level 2 today." StoneSword reprimanded them from afar. Lily only giggled when she watched what Max and Flexy did.

Their looting simulator continued. They defeated some zombies in their looting quest, but strangely, they didn't even encounter any Infected. It seemed like their spawn rate was low in the first 15 days. But low didn't mean impossible. Max's world was filled with them, and he found 3 in just 2 days.

— You just have a pretty lucky seed, finding 3 Infected in just 3 days

— lolol, you also had 2 heavy loot areas in 2 days. Look at this seed. You haven't found one yet

— Your luck is out of the world. But with luck, danger also follows!

— In short, you're a go-to-lucky person! I don't know whether I made sense or not!

— Danger loves you

The chat's explanation made Max roll his eyes. What was luck, he wondered, if it was accompanied by dangers far worse than usual.

Looting the warehouse was easy. Unlike the one in Max's server, this one was only filled with zombies. They dealt with the zombies easily, using only knives. Only Flexy had two handguns, mainly because he had lost all his items from dying on day 1.

It was the heaven for woods and planks. Some Scraps could be obtained from this place too. They quickly took them back to the shelter before finding other places to raid.

Max wondered why they didn't just find Ruins and raid it. The answer came unexpectedly from Flexy.

"Do you want to die? Ruins are filled with Infected. We won't even step onto the second floor without proper defensive equipment, gas masks, and good weapons! There are many traps, unlike the open world."

He said. Then, a smirk appeared on his face.

"But if you want to die so badly, let's find a Ruin! You will go first, of course."

"Heh, even if I go first, I can dodge all the traps easily. I am worried that you might mess up and put us all in danger, so let's not go to Ruins."

"Huh?" He let out a confused voice. "What the... Where the hell is Breeze?"

"What's happened?" StoneSword asked and turned around. He looked at his sister and asked, "Where is Breeze?"

Lily looked back at her brother and tilted her head. "He said he found some loot and hasn't returned since then. It's been 3 minutes."

"Could it be that he separated himself from us?" Flexy asked. He had a bad feeling about this.

"Or maybe he was just lost. There is no light and it's easy to lose us," StoneSword responded.

"No... I think he hides from us purposely. I don't believe that he got lost. Not again." Flexy looked around the area and shrugged his shoulders, "Breeze might have planned something. That guy must've wanted revenge for what we did to him! He's so petty!"

"But what is he planning?" StoneSword added, letting out a sigh, "Well, as long as he did nothing dangerous, we should just continue looting. If he dies, he will respawn on day 3."

"Right. We just need to be more careful than before."

"Un." Lily also agreed. "Let's continue."

Having said that, the three of them continued walking.

In a location a bit away from them, Max pulled his head back and smiled. He had heard their conversation. His lips curled up into a smile.

"It's going according to the plan." He muttered.

— Phase 1 success

— Now go to phase 2!

— Still... You're so nasty planning something like this.

— Are you planning to kill all of them? Including LilyPixel?

— Truly, a villain. This arc will end soon with the biggest disaster

— She will die a noble death.

"You're right, guys." He shrugged his shoulders, "Sacrifices are inevitable. I only hope she won't get mad at me."

He entered the back alley and began to move quietly, following the group while maintaining a reasonable distance so he wouldn't be found out.

"Let's end this villain arc with a wicked epilogue."
