CHAPTER 16: A SECRET WITHIN
The moment his foot touched the ground, the sound resounded in the ears of the crawlers around and they turned around, but they still didn’t move.Alex jumped over fallen debris, landing with a loud thud, and that was when the crawlers snarled and chased.They knew there was something unwanted in their territory.Not looking back, Alex kept running straight. Aura became his only guidance, informing him of the infected that were closing in.“Thank you, Aura.” Alex breathed out, as he swerved along the path, narrowly escaping the claws of an infected. His lungs tightened but Alex wasn’t going to give up, especially when he could almost taste his destination. “I’m almost there.” He whispered to himself, willing his body to increase his pace. Just as they gathered, crawlers of different sizes, and reached out to him, Alex jumped.Staying in the air for more than five seconds, he crash-landed, skidding on the ground, before his head finally stopped at the foot of a large plant. Alex’s
CHAPTER 15: GRACE SPEAKS LOUDER THAN LUCK
Alex opened the door of the room, and he looked at his sides, there was nothing there, but he couldn’t lower his guard yet.“Activate God-eyes.” Alex muttered and his x-ray vision appeared, and the walla vanished before his eyes, he moved, and kept looking. He couldn’t sense any heat signals which meant the creature must have dissappeared. “I could cure him.” Alex muttered to himself, but he shook his head in the next moment. To cure that beast, he would need to subdue it. He sighed. This was another reason he had to get stronger.Dominator couldn’t work on such a strong beast. Therefore, strength was his only option. Soon enough, Alex stepped out of the building into fresh air. He was cautious, knowing that the slightest mistake could lead to him being torn about by a wild crowd.Taking to his heels, Alex moved away from the building. Finding a wider place to train would be advisable for him. Then an idea came to his mind, this was a city, and in a city, there would definitely be
CHAPTER 14: NAMING THE SYSTEM
Alex’s eyes brightened up, this system was gold but he didn’t know why it was given to someone like him.“I don’t deserve this.” Alex said, clenching his fists. He was worthless, and he couldn’t even save his own mother. “Now you have another chance” An unfamiliar voice echoed in Alex’s ears, and he turned around, thinking someone had spoken behind him. Seeing no one, Alex had an inkling of what could have happened. “System?” He muttered.The voice came again in a clearer tone. “You have the chance to save another person. There’s no luxury of waiting anymore.”A refreshing feeling came over Alex, and he nodded. This had to be part of the system upgrade, and he couldn’t help but wonder if there would be any more upgrades in the future. “Yes, there would be future upgrades.” The system answered. Alex nodded, “What can I call you?” He asked the voice.“I can only be named by the host.” The voice replied back. Now he had something to think about, he needed to name the system.“Aura.
CHAPTER 13: FINDING MORE SUPPLIES
“If there's one of these infected here, then there's probably more around the corner?" he thought to himself as he raced through the outpost. "I have to get out of here but not with that thing after me." he thought, "Maybe I can slow it down."He looked both left and right trying to see what he can and can't grab. There were boxes, different unusable items that his visual came in contact with. He doesn't hesitate for a split second and swiftly takes them one after the other and hurls it back at the infected. Alex made a few perfect strikes, knocking the infected back. He saw it, its movements and focus had dwindled a bit but not for long. He came straight back to the exit he had arrived through and tried to burst his way out. However, the door didn't budge open. Why did it have to be now?All of the sudden, the door had become a major problem.He shifted his gaze back to the stair, loud deafening shrills escaped the upper region. The sound of things breaking and of it getting cl
CHAPTER 12: LOW CHANCE OF SURVIVAL.
Alex stood with his hand running across his hair. Jake and Lois had already left with Jake, leaving him alone in the room.He gave a tired breath before he headed out of the scavenger camp. He was able to find his way out using the map directions.Just as he made it to the gate, he paused for a moment and remembered Lois' words, it played just like a tape and it strengthened his resolve to prove his capability. He walked out without looking back, his gaze locked on the map as he searched for a potential location to begin his digging. “Two days, or your friend dies.” It came again and he couldn't shake off the feeling. He needed to act fastAnd then it occurred to him, the system, he remembered the acquisition protocols and he recalled a vital mode that would be beneficial for this task!“Scavenge Mode.” He licked his lips as he quickly activated it. “Activate Scavenge Mode.”[Scavenge Mode Activated][ Location: Tier 2 Zone.][ Risk Level: Moderate.][Loot chance: 40%][Find at lea
CHAPTER 11: MAKING A DEAL WITH THE BOSS LADY
“What about the other guy?” Jake said, pointing at Trent.Lois took a good look at him before she waved him off.“Don't worry, keep him with the other workers. As long as he isn't placed in that marketplace, he won't be found.”She had a smile on her face while her attention was solely on Alex.Alex gazed at the floor.If such people existed in the Outer Region, which was known to be the second deadliest region, it meant there had to be a chance that his father survived.He needed to do everything to find his father.Suddenly, there was a loud ding in his head, causing him to raise his gaze.He could hear the system’s voice clearly, which hadn't happened before. It had to be part of the new upgrade. The voice was soft, yet commanding.“You have identified your first objective. Locate your father in the Outer Region.”Alex slightly nodded his head. He didn't need the system to tell him that, as it was something he was already planning to do.Lois raised her brow. Why was this kid in
