Chapter 20: Meeting The Group of Survivors

Hidden beneath his new clothes and mask, Zorvax moved with stealth and determination through the desolate landscape. His transformed appearance allowed him to blend in more seamlessly with the human survivors he sought. As he cautiously made his way through the area, he caught the distant sound of a fierce battle, the desperate cries of those fighting for their lives.

Upon hearing the commotion, Zorvax's instincts kicked in, and he rushed toward the source of the conflict. As he approached, he saw a group of male survivors locked in combat with a horde of zombies led by two menacing level-one zombies. The survivors were clearly outnumbered and struggling to hold their ground.

Zorvax heard one of the survivors curse as he exclaimed, "Damn it! Level-one zombies!" The tension in the air was palpable as they desperately fought to fend off the relentless undead attackers. The situation looked dire.

But just as the survivors were about to become overwhelmed, a figure suddenly appeared on the battlefield, emerging from the shadows. It was Zorvax, his presence causing a momentary halt in the survivors' frantic battle.

Startled and confused by the arrival of the masked figure in full clothing, one of the survivors whispered to the others, "Who is he? What's with the clothes and that giant bone sword on his back?"

They exchanged uncertain glances, fear and curiosity mixing in their expressions. The colossal bone sword, nearly two meters in length, was an intimidating sight, and it sent shivers down their spines.

Summoning his courage, one of the survivors decided to break the silence. He asked Zorvax, "Who are you?" His voice quivered slightly, a reflection of the unease they all felt in the presence of this mysterious newcomer.

With a calm and reassuring tone, Zorvax replied, "I'm just a survivor. Do you need help?" He unslung the colossal bone sword from his back and held it firmly in his hands, the massive weapon gleaming menacingly in the dim light.

The survivors exchanged glances once more, their initial fear giving way to a glimmer of hope. In a chorus, they nodded and said, "Yes, we need all the help we can get."

Zorvax, still masked and fully clad, nodded in acknowledgment. "No problem," he replied, his voice steady and reassuring.

Curiosity piqued, Zorvax couldn't help but inquire further. "Are you all part of a group or something?" he asked, wondering about the origins of these survivors.

The survivor who had extended his gratitude nodded, his expression earnest. "Yes, we're part of the Red Shark Group," he said, pride evident in his voice.

Zorvax's curiosity deepened, and he could see a spark of hope in the eyes of the survivors. "The Red Shark Group?" he repeated, seeking more information.

The survivor continued, a sense of pride in his tone. "Our leader is a Level One Awakened with a unique ability. He has control over flames," he explained. His face lit up as he spoke, clearly proud of their leader's exceptional power. He paused, watching for Zorvax's reaction.

"Interesting," Zorvax mused, intrigued by the prospect of meeting someone with a special ability. The evolving world held endless surprises, and he was eager to explore its intricacies.

The survivor, sensing Zorvax's curiosity and perhaps a glimmer of admiration, extended an invitation with an eager smile. "Would you like to come with us and meet our boss?" he asked. "He'd like to meet the one who helped us out of that situation."

Zorvax nodded in agreement. "I'd be interested to meet this person," he said, his determination unwavering. He could see gratitude and relief in the eyes of the survivors, who now viewed him as their saviour and potential ally.

With a unanimous nod from the survivors and a hopeful look in their eyes, they set off towards the base of the Red Shark Group. The journey continued, filled with questions, revelations, and newfound connections that would shape their future in this ever-evolving world.
