picking up a teammate for others
They were surrounded on all sides by the infected."Slow down." Lucas made the decision in the split of a second.After all, these were the people he set his eyes on recruiting.Although the situation was quite precarious, it could also be counted as fate."You know them?" Gabriel released his foot on the accelerator, and the truck eased to a stop."Kind of." Lucas's reply was ambiguous. He shoved his head out of the window and shouted towards the two. "Jump!"The infection behind the truck was starting to catch up with them."Jump? Uncle, do you have eyes to see how high up we were? Do you want us to die?" Zoe yelled back. Her words were rushed and carried a heavy sense of panic.Jordan fought off the infected rushing towards them.His arms were coated with a shiny silver metal that was impenetrable. There was no need for weapons, as his hands were enough to smash into their skulls with one punch.While it was impossible for him to get scratched or bitten, Jordon sensed that his stam
Running into familiar faces.
Unlike Gabriel, Lucas was familiar with what the sound represented. Either the formation of a dungeon or a dungeon collapse.Neither of the two situations was exactly good news, but the latter was even more dangerous.Lucas soon relaxed. It has just been a few days since the apocalypse. A dungeon takes between 10 and 15 days before it collapses depending on its grade; therefore, it couldn't have been a dungeon collapsing."You are done, right?" Gabriel stood by the blinds. He was probably concerned about the development."Hold on." Lucas walked back to the kitchen. His eyes briefly scanned around and then locked on the wooden block on the counter.The slots of the wooden block held different kinds and sizes, which is nice.Lucas picked a normal kitchen knife. The edges gleamed with a sharp glint.It wasn't the best, but it was good enough.He returned to the living room and faced Henry, who was sitting on the couch silently."Henry. You have to be quiet, okay? He saw the little boy
Adopting a kid in the apocalypse.
Yoo Mu-hyeon found a house nearby.A thin layer of dust had settled on all the exposed surfaces.Lucas glanced at Gabriel.The latter didn't bother with him and walked straight to the kitchen.Carrying Henry, Lucas walked up the flight of stairs to the second floor.He arrived at a narrow hallway with four doors. Two on both sides.The first two doors he tried were bedrooms. The next one was a narrow storage room. A bucket, mops, and an old dusty vacuum cleaner were stacked on top of each other with an air of negligence.Lucas turned to the door opposite the storage room. It gave way to a green-tiled bathroom.Lucas kept his comment to himself as he strode in.A bluish-green curtain stretched across the room, dividing it into two parts.The shower stood to the left; a white tub, which was slowly turning yellow, was pushed against the wall. To the right was the toilet space.Lucas placed Henry inside the tub and tried the tap.It gave a dull splutter and spat two spurts of water before
Amending past regrets.
"I am a friend of your father," Lucas smiled. His voice was filled with sincerity.Of course he was lying. He had never even seen the latter before.The little boy looked at him with disbelieving eyes. His gaze slowly shifted to the pole in Lucas's hands. The small body shivered, pulling into itself like a snail shrinking into his shell."Oh, this... Don't worry. I was just using it to take care of the bad guys." Lucas noticed his stare. He tossed the bloodied pole with suspicious yellow liquid sticking to it aside, putting up an innocent and harmless look. "Don't worry. This uncle is not a bad person and won't harm you."The kid remained still."It is cold in there, isn't it?" The inside of the narrow drainage was damp, with walls covered with slick brown moss glistening with moisture.A draft of cold air blew through the tunnel. He could feel the low temperature just by standing at the entrance alone.Henry's body let out a violent shudder, as if reacting to Lucas's words. His shoe
Past memories and regrets.
Lucas moved to the next street.He walked in the middle of the road paying zero attention to traffic rules.All around him was quiet.Cars lined the side of the road, already accumulating a thin layer of dust.He soon arrived at a T-junction.To one side loomed the ruins of what had once been a hospital. The building across it had collapsed into a massive heap of broken concrete, twisted steel, and shattered glass.Lucas's eyes lit up with recognition.Although the memories were distant, he was still able to remember some bits and fragments.This was indeed the path they took on the way to Incheon in his past life.Since the main road was blocked, they took an alternate route, winding through backstreets and even residential areas.Lucas continued to walk.Sure enough, the familiar sight of an overturned Camry greeted him upfront.It was exactly the same as back then.There were deep tire marks leading to the spot where the car was, upside down. They pressed on the road, then curved i
What is your ability?
But Lucas wasn't escaping.He wasn't that stupid.Gabriel obviously had a way of tracking him.And even if he made it to Base C, the probability of them running into each other was high.He didn't want to provoke the psycho.He just hoped that Gabriel's interest in him would die quickly and he would leave him alone.Lucas scanned the area from a high-rise building.It was day three of the apocalypse.Incheon, which was a bustling city that welcomed foreigners from all over the world, now lay in ruins.The city stretched all the way his eyes could see. Towering skyscrapers leaned at impossible angles.Entire streets had collapsed, filled with pothole craters. Wild plants with tenacious roots grew at the side of the roads and running along concrete buildings.From where he stood, Lucas had a good view of where the dungeon gate he entered had appeared.Now it looked like every other street without any abnormality.The only way to clear a dungeon was to find its core and destroy it.
