Oliver exhaled as he leaned against the window, watching the zombies wreak havoc outside the building.

“I heard that you said the same thing as me.” Oliver's black hair moved in the wind, the third-floor school building window was open. He crossed his arms and did not look at the person who had just been beside him.

The blonde hair that floated in the wind had given the explanation that she was Leah.

Leah looked at Oliver, she tilted her head slightly. She is 172 cm tall with a slender body built with a strict diet and exercise. She should laugh because in the past, she often endured her hunger so she wouldn't gain weight, and now she has to endure hunger to survive.

“You said that this zombie has low intelligence.” Oliver turned around, he looked at Leah, who was staring back at him. Beautiful green eyes, like delicate leaves being blown amidst the commotion of zombies.

"Yeah, they think that what I said was a lie."

Leah chuckled a little, every time she said it, there would be eyes of disapproval for it.

“You have a very great observation.”

"I think they should also understand that. Observing them will provide all the explanations, right?”

Oliver liked how Leah thought, she was a real schoolgirl who used her brain to think.

“I almost died a few days ago, the classroom door was unlocked. I thought, yes, this is the end, but those zombies can't open the door, that's when I knew they were stupid."

Leah smiled with her right shoulder raised, she looked proud of what she said.

"We should be grateful for that. Stupid zombies, we can fight more easily than if the zombies are smart and still they are strong.”

Leah moved her eyes, she looked at the zombies that were dragging their feet. They stroll, but when they see prey, they run very convulsively. Whereas scared humans will make a mistake, fall, then get bitten and they will transform or in other cases, they die as zombie food.

"I know how and I think you'll be pleased to hear that."

Leah nodded her head, she was looking forward to this. She is a spoiled child but mentally strong. When she doesn't get what she wants, Leah is used to arguing and being indifferent to her parents. Her expression looks a little sad.

**

One day earlier, after Oliver and Dereck managed to get into the school building.

“You are 32 in number?” Oliver looked at them, the paper in his hands moved because the wind blew so slowly.

Oliver looked down at the paper he was holding.

“Twenty men and twelve women. You guys look like you're camping.” Oliver looked back at him. "How did you guys come to school? I didn't see many bodies in this building, did you guys burn it?" asked Oliver, scratching his head.

"We dropped him on the back," Nolan explained briefly, his expression casual. He showed no sadness, a person who acted logically and cared about life.

"Ow, alright." Oliver took it casually. Nolan opened his mouth again, explaining more than Oliver wanted.

“There are 74 people here, including teachers. We have activities at school, next Sunday should be the day of welcoming new students and that's why the people are important here."

Nolan glanced at Axel. Only the delinquent wasn't part of the team. He survived and was recognized by Nolan could be helpful.

Seeing death in front of him and being able to survive this long, Nolan forced himself to endure.

"We'll just leave the seven men here," Oliver said again, the others had an expression of disapproval.

“You're going to leave seven men here? Then who will go and stay?” the men start to fuss, they want to be in this place because they can be safe. Coming out would make themselves prey.

Oliver exhaled and put the paper he was holding onto the table.

"I made a mistake, huh?" asked Oliver with a smile. The school children who wore sad faces nodded their heads.

“Both men and women, you will probably be forced to go out. Safe."

Their mouths are open, this is increasingly budgeting them, their bodies are stiff, eyes glaze over because this pressure can drive them crazy.

Leah raised her hand. Draw attention towards him.

"I'm going out."

"Good, we have brave volunteers." Oliver pointed at Leah.

"Me too." Nolan raised his hand. The man seemed to have a leadership spirit.

Few people volunteered themselves. Oliver chose them, he chose the ones that looked brave and strong.

He had to save these children, so he had to keep a few of them at least alive. Don't let more people die than life.

His memory swirled at that moment. His question to Dae was a form of anticipation that he would not be in danger.

"Did none of them die?" he asked.

"Says who?" Dae narrowed his eyes. This time he showed up with no piece of meat and no food for Dae to snatch from Oliver.

"Just my guess."

"That's okay. If they die, but you can still save the others, your quest is over.”

Oliver took a deep breath. He gulped his spit and still stared at Dae.

"I'm glad to hear that because otherwise, it would have been a more difficult mission."

"Difficult?"

"I'm playing a hero for someone I don't know."

Dae laughed so blandly at Oliver's words.

“You are playing pawn. Don't overestimate." Dae grinned, and he disappeared from Oliver's presence.

Oliver's face looked very irritated at the ugly, stupid words in front of him earlier. Someday, if he can find out that hitting guides is allowed, he will do it.

The sound of a chair being dragged brought her thoughts back.

“Ten people, including my friend and me.”

Oliver decided like that, Dereck approached him, and he whispered next to Oliver.

"Isn't that too little?"

"You can protect them all, Dereck?" asked Oliver making Dereck silent.

Protecting others, he's often scared and feels like running away from here.

Everyone in the room was silent, they couldn't argue with Oliver's words and those who didn't get out of this building felt very grateful even though they kept it from being seen.

Axel looked at Leah, his eyes sharp. The piercing on his lips moved as he smirked for a second nonchalantly.

"Just watch that road."

He walked out of the room, ignoring the adults he didn't know.

Oliver noticed that the brat named Axel was at least not just any brat because he had courage.

  • Note Sure

    On this mission, they had brought something that surprised the people inside the headquarters; it was very difficult to believe what Vida got.But what she brought was indeed real."So they all live without any human adults among them?" Oliver asked Vida, his gaze so straight and strong. Vida immediately nodded her Head."That's right, they live in a forest that seems to have never even been touched by zombies where they live with five of them helping each other."That was what she had seen before. When they captured the little boy, they used plenty of leftovers and simple tools to survive. It would take a lot of time for them to settle down here. They rebelled hysterically because this place was very different from where they were before, and they feared something bad would happen to them.Oliver knew that small children who could not yet think logically and correctly experienced tremendous fear and were forced to defend themselves. It was clear that they would be vigilant about what

  • Don't Be Afraid

There were many houses that they could use, and they also explored the area around them to expand this place.Now a year has passed, and they are looking for survivors to gather; although it is very difficult to find people and find materials that they can use, they sometimes find human figures who managed to survive in the rubble or hide well. From a total of only 45 survivors increased to 60 people where they are, and they are still doing it.The sound of cars could be heard clearly, mostly on the rocky road they travelled. The road in their era now was very destroyed, and they were still very grateful to be able to find a car or so that could be used. The people who worked in the workshop, like Dereck and also George, had tried very hard to be able to make a vehicle that they could use."Turn to the right!" Vida yelled at Jack; she was next to Jack, who was driving the car, and she let the 11-year-

  • New Life

    All they had done and struggled with no effort to live well in this extremely chaotic era, they only hoped that they could die in peace, not die from other horrible things. They had to make something from scratch again. But because the people gathered by Oliver had a lot of knowledge and abilities, it became an extraordinary rock for them.After a few weeks of them cleaning up this place and trying to reorganize their lives, there was finally an opportunity where Dereck would talk to Oliver about something. He brought a warm drink and placed it beside Oliver while he sat beside him. They both sat on a tall building looking at the sky before them."You've done such an amazing job in this age of the internet and television, I'm pretty sure that your story would be so amazing that even now it's being made into a book." Dereck spoke until he laughed a little and then sipped his warm drink."They will definitely make a book that is completely useless." Oliver's response was cold; he never

  • Its The End

    Oliver lifted his face, looked at the green notification screen in front of him, and finally, after a few seconds, he could say something he had been thinking about for a long time."Dae."The grey goblin appeared; he was dressed more neatly than before and looked at Oliver calmly. He looked like a professional now."What's wrong with calling me?" Dae asked as he stared with calm eyes at the man before him.You know what I want to know right away about this notification screen. How come my notifications are green? Is there really not going to be another zombie attack later?" Oliver asked firmly as he stared at the goblin in front of him with quite a sharp gaze, making the goblin smile with his sharp teeth clearly visible."It's true that if that's the case, you should feel very happy because now you won't be facing zombies anymore. now you are all human survivors in this world and you will start a new era."Dae said it excitedly, but it didn't sit well with Oliver. He was angry and gr

  • Its Okay

    Ilda, with the reason for worrying so much about her niece, finally let Oliver have his business with Amelia, allowing the man to interact with Amelia. Apparently, it was a very important thing. While Ilda was on the outside waiting for Oliver to finish his business.In the room, Oliver looked at Amelia, who was taking out something of note, whether it was the sample she had extracted or something else. She showed it to Oliver and made Oliver look at it more intensely than before."I don't know why you can be confident like this, and fortunately, I followed what you wanted because your blood does resist the zombie virus in the zombie's body. This is extraordinary, and I don't know how aggressive it can be. I've never come across anything like this." Amelia exclaimed as she said it. Oliver looked at her with a look that didn't really care about it..."I told you that we could make a vaccine, it's an amazing discovery and could help humans. It turns out that you are the source of that v

When they saw Oliver, they immediately realized that Oliver had lost someone very important.Then they couldn't stop what they were doing. Now they were focusing on the hard fight they were doing ahead because soon they might face victory. Oliver shed tears from his eyes. He looked at Sam's body lying on his lap for a few seconds, then stood up and held his sword again. That's when he returned to shooting the zombies around him faster than before. He raised his power level, which was very scary for the people there. None of them tried to block Oliver,Throughout the cleanup, Oliver was like a huge thunder. Even after they managed to win the battle, Oliver was still shouting and stabbing the zombies repeatedly that had been so dead before him.
