" I never knew Festus taught you how to shoot," Adam comments as they shoot at the zombie covering the survivors to safety.

"Huh? you know Uncle Festus?" Eagan asked, surprised that Adam knew his uncle, but 'it shouldn't have been too surprising as uncle Festus was also involved in the building of the base,' he thought

" Of course, I'm very familiar with him. After all, he was our trainer alongside Marcus .... You might not know this, but everyone you met on the base had nothing when we met your grandmother; she gave us a place to stay and a purpose to live for ... and in return, we promised to serve you till our last breath."

Eagan felt touched by the confession made by Adam and was stunned for a few seconds.

" I'm sorry ... I didn't know anything ... I was just informed about all this on her dying bed, and everything seems new to me, and I'm just barely holding on."

" It's a promise she had to keep; your parents made everyone promise that you'd have a normal childhood and you won't get involved until you were adult," Adam explained.

" I promise to treat everyone right."

" As cute as the promise sound, always remember not everyone has a good heart or intention. In this world during this time, you'll have to be careful around people," Adam advised

" Thank you,

When the survivors made it to them, the others joined in the shooting; the three new girls were also equipped with guns o to cover them from the right instead of joining the men to gather resources.

ALERT! ALERT! A NEW VARIANT OF ZOMBIE IS NEARBY

" Where is it," Eagan asked the system.

IT'S IN THE BUILDING ON THE RIGHT SIDE... THE WHITE BUILDING SCAN SHOWS THE MOVEMENTS OF THE ZOMBIE COMING TOWARD THE HOST

Eagan looked anxiously towards the location the system gave. From playing several zombie games, he understands what the system said about a new Zombie variant, but he doesn't know what to expect exactly. The people around noticed him looking at the white building and asked.

"Is everything okay? Do you need us to check out that building or something?"

"I feel a bad vibe coming from that building there; going by game knowledge, whatever is inside is probably more. Or some mutant. Either one, I feel that guy is bad news," Eagan explained to Adam, leaving out that he knew what was in the building.

Adam looked at Eagan and then at the building; noticing he wasn't being pranked, he cussed loudly, "fuck!" and regained his composure as the captain; he gave others to

"Lock the Supermarket doors and ensure that all the survivors are safe ... all combatants fall into formation."

Everyone followed his instruction, locking all doors to the supermarket and then falling into formation.

The formation was held for about ninety seconds, and they were starting to think it was a false alarm until silver said

" Eww, it looked uglier, and I want to poke the other."

Silver made a gagging sound as he saw the ugly level two with blue skin and lumps all over its body. It has an average human height of about 158cm, but its hands were longer than his body, and they followed behind him due to its length.

" Is that the only thing you noticed? Can't you see it's also faster than normal zombies" Nick said

"No matter how fast it is, it can be as fast as my bullet!" Silver replied and began shooting at it.

The zombie threateningly beards its teeth toward them as he gets closer, and the skin stuck in the middle can be seen.

" Looks like it's just finished eating, " Eagan said

" Ugh, I'm going to poke " Silver made another gagging noise when he noticed the ugly teeth stained with blood and human skin

The Zombie suddenly stopped and swung its hand directly at them, some of them were able to dodge in time, but most got it but not enough to cause a life-threatening injury. Those who successfully dodged began to shoot at it, but their bullets weren't penetrating his body

" Are you kidding? What is its skin made of?" Matt asked

" Damnit, how are we supposed to kill it when the bullet isn't penetrating skin!"

"It should have a weak point somewhere!" Adam said

YOUR GUN CAN BE FURTHER UPGRADED. WOULD YOU LIKE AN UPGRADE?

" Will it help in this kind of situation?"

I CAN'T GUARANTEE 100% SUCCESS, BUT IT COULD HELP.

" What are you waiting for then? upgrade it"

"I'm almost out of ammo. We can't keep shooting like this!"

" Even with more ammo, we can't defeat this guy."

" Eagan, next time you feel like something is bad news, inform us earlier so we can run."

" Calm down. Even if we want to run now, we can't."

"..."

Eagan felt more potent after the stat increase; he could hear louder and farther than before and see more clearly. With his x-ray vision, he could see through the level two zombies' weak spots.

His new gained strength and newly upgraded guns gave him a boost in morale.

He licked his lips a smirked, "Let's play!"
