The trio was sitting at the front of the bus continuing their journey as Kim was resting at the back of the bus.
Jason was scrolling through the offline map in the tablet he got from the mall, he was tagging all the important locations on the map, gas stations, shopping malls, medicine shops, and of course the most important jewellery shops. Jason could not help but laugh at this, for him the most important thing was something that had literally no value into others this world right now. He could not help but laugh at the thought that a boy would be found raiding all the Jewellery stores all around the world in the apocalypse. Jewellery would be back as a trading item or currency when society reassembles itself but that would be far away in the future.
"I might as well name myself Jewellery boy" Jason muttered under his breath as he laughed inside.
"Make a stop in the market to the left there is a huge Jewellery shop there," Jason said as he noticed they were passing through one of the largest jewellery shops in this area.
He had 530 coins with him, 500 of which he got from killing the leader of the stronghold. This also made him realize that no matter how much coins he collects from jewellery stores he won't get exp for those and without exp, he won't be able to level up and if he did not level up he won't be able to get strong enough to protect his loved ones. The zombies in this world were evolving at breakneck speeds and if he did not grow stronger at a faster pace, he might as well become zombie food in no time.
*screech
The bus came to a stop in front of the store, a group of zombies came rushing at the bus.
" Do your thing, but be fast we are riding at night time and it could be dangerous out there" Harry said as he waved at Jason who was stepping down from the bus.
" fast is it," Jason said with a small smirk on his face as he activated his powers and zoomed towards the doors of the Jewellery shop.
Zombies started falling down unnaturally as he zoomed past them, he was in speed mode but it was about ¼ of his full speed so it did not put any strain on his body and he was still fast enough to zoom past these zombies as he headshot each of them.

Congratulation to the host for levelling up!
You have been awarded two stat points and two skill points.
He was quite surprised unknowing he had reached level 3 of the system. He checked the amount of exp needed for next upgrade and surprisingly it was not as high as he thought it would be. It was 2000 exp points, considering the fact that for levelling up to level two it had been 100 and then for level 3 it was 1000 he thought that it would follow the same sequence.
" the sequence for levelling up is quite stable it only jumps when you have different milestones. Level two was the first milestone then level 10 will be the second one so on…" the system replied when he asked about this.
"Is that so?" Jason said in a pondering tone as he shot another zombie that was creeping upon him.
He allocated a point to stamina and another to strength as these stats were that would go hand in hand with his powers now. As for skills, he will allocate points after giving it some thought right now he had a store to raid.
Taking his mind off this topic he rushed inside the store and chugged all the jewellery into the inventory, he killed all the zombies in the first floor of the store. The store had two floors each containing a shitload of Jewellery.
"It's gonna take some time," Jason said as he looked at all the jewellery inside the fancy glass boxes.

Kim groaned as she woke up. When she looked at her new surrounding, she suddenly got up and readied herself to fight but then her recent memories flooded inside her mind calming her down.
Harry and Arya heard some sound coming from the back of the bus and when they look towards it they found Kim standing up in in a frenzied state ready to fight but then she calmed down suddenly. Arya's and Kim's eyes met as they looked at each other with watery eyes. Their gazes filled with relief and happiness at seeing each other.
Both to them rushed at each other and they met the middle enveloping each other in a warm embrace.
"I -i" Arya was about to say something when Kim ran her hand over her head in a caring way and said " Shhhhh… I know" She knew what Arya wanted to say, she knew how she felt as she was feeling the same. The feeling of losing your family, your kin was the worst in the world and now that they could finally meet each other they let go all the grievances and all the piled-up stress in their bodies.
But unfortunately, this sweet moment was broken by harry.
"Well all that's left is for you two is to kiss," Harry said as he laughed out loud effectively dissolving the emotional atmosphere.
Kim in a very gracefully way showed him the holy finger and wiped her watery eyes as she looked inquisitive at him and asked with a worried tone.
"Where's Jason"
"Ummm.. that… he is looting a jewellery store" Harry replied as he burst into a fit of laughter again.
