"What is in it for me?" Donald asked instead.Elizabeth frowned as she asked, "What do you mean?"Donald leaned back and placed his arms on the armrests as he said, "You said you came to recruit me, but you haven't given me a reason to join you. In this situation, isn't it normal to present an offer I can't refuse?"He was just talking out his butt while he scrambled to think about what he could do now. Without anyone or anything to back him up, he had only himself to rely on. There was no Nicole to help him out, and his power wasn't strong enough to take on a number of unknown enemies. Using his firepower was out of the question, so all that was left was talking his way out.She blinked. "I see your point. It was my mistake to not think through my offer properly. What would you like in exchange?""What are you willing to give me to join your group?" he countered with his own question.Truthfully, he had no idea how much he could demand of them. If he demanded too little, then he woul

Donald put on a calm expression as he asked, "What are you thinking of?"Elizabeth folded her hands behind her back as her expression became serious. "As you may have already noticed, the zombies have become more active compared to the previous two waves. It poses a huge problem for everyone involved."He was having a bad feeling about where this was going. "The system has already told us this would be the case. What do you intend to do about it?""In order to survive and get stronger, I suggest we work on clearing out the zombies nearby," she said with a smile.While he seemed calm on the outside, he was actually panicking on the inside. How could she possibly suggest such a thing? Did she realize how crazy her idea sounded? This wasn't a simple task she was talking about. It was one thing to deal with a couple of zombies wandering the streets. It was another to fight hordes of zombies filling the place.Granted, he had only seen a large group once. It had been when they were surroun

Elizabeth thought everything was going well. Admittedly, he didn't seem too impressed when she said she would only send four people, but he didn't protest. That had to be a good sign. Glancing over Donald's shoulder, she could see Donna standing behind him with a hand on her sword. Her bodyguard hadn't dropped the habit of always being on guard."You only need to clear the surrounding area, so we were thinking a couple blocks. What do you think?" she asked.Donald remained silent as he stared at the boiling soup. As the silence stretched on, she was beginning to worry that she had somehow offended him. What had she said? Was it because she implied he wasn't capable? She had to reassure him that wasn't the case. It was only because she was worried about the group's unity and didn't want to push them too hard.Donna sensed that something was off with Elizabeth and glared even harder at Donald's back. What had he done? Had he used his power on her? She hadn't seen him make a move. Was he

"Did we get everything?" Elizabeth asked."Yes," everyone chimed in as Donald eyed Robert out of the corner of his eye.The MVP was Robert, who seemed to be carrying the whole kitchen with him. Elizabeth's group was really lucky to recruit him. Donald wondered how she had managed to draw him in. He hadn't outright asked as he felt Donna's gaze on him, and he hadn't wanted to stir trouble by prodding him for information. However, from what he understood, the man was the definition of a gentle giant.It certainly explained why someone like that got a healing power. The man had even offered right away to heal him because he had heard that Donald was hurt. The idea of leaving someone injured hadn't sat right with Robert, and Donald felt dirty thinking of taking advantage of them. He would almost think that Elizabeth purposely picked these people.Read more
