Back at the lab where the virus originated, The employees had gone even more mad after they've heard the news about how zombies are now rampaging in the city. John, who is in his new office is trying his best to not interfere with the current events. He knew that being involve in the current outbreak would affect his reputation and that is something he least want.
Despite all of John's efforts to avoid the being involve, He is still called by the employees every now and then. He even tried to resort to violence to stop them from asking help but new people just keeps coming. His temper his running short but he knew he'll just make things worst if he started venting out his frustrations to employees.
Back to the city of plants,
The news about the zombies rampaging quickly spread out all over the city but thank god they are not dumb cause what they did once they've heard the news was barricade themselves on their own houses; blocking every possible entrances on sight.
"What zombies!? I thought Astolfo and the small fries can deal with it?" Lyrr said
"Wow, considering the talk of the town as a small fry. Well, we got to at least help the people to at least contain the infection." Jonas said
"Of course we will do that!" Lyrr replied
As the beast princess Lyrr was about to call for reinforcements using the hunters tab; The princess stumbled upon an announcement where it involves her parents, the beast king and queen. She wonders how two more beast tamers could help with the situation but she still took it as an opportunity to only call for a few backups.
She's now finished talking to her subordinates about getting backups but as she was about to close the tab, she realized that the whole system had changed its GUI. Instead of the usual color blue, it is now changed to a dirty green almost similar to that of a military uniform.
Lyrr was puzzled by this sudden change; The whole system has been designed to become color blue to match the aesthetics of planet earth, of course the colors changes to green and white when the seasons change but now that it is currently autumn, turning the color suddenly would surely be weird.
'I guess the great developer messed up'
The panic has been contained but the zombies aren't, that's the situation the city of plants is currently in. Astolfo who had took notice of what is happening started to help out using his super speed. He tries his best not to incapacitate the zombies but the problem is, they keep retaliating and their lust for blood doesn't seem to cool off.
Astolfo got a light bulb moment which somewhat motivated him to do his job better. He went out of the battlefield to locate a couple of mushrooms to make his plan work. He thought by making a certain kind of miasma, he might be able to attract the attention of the zombies to a certain place.
He moved with style, he looks like he is dancing but he actually is just trying to move as fast as he possibly could. There is no known limit to how fast he can go based on his brother Anatoly but it is the human body that limits him from moving passed light speed.
His hair was being waved by the very powerful wall of wind that he's been hitting. His remarkable speed despite not being one of a kind, it still makes ladies drool.
After a few minutes of running around the bushes, Astolfo had managed to collect hopefully enough mushrooms to complete the formula for the version of miasma he is planning to make. He started crushing the mushrooms on top of a log he had found and he tried his best to mixed all the mushrooms together and sure enough, it gave the smell he was expecting.
"Now for the good part."
As he was carefully transferring the crushed mushrooms, Astolfo's phone rang. He hesitates to answer it and just left it ringing on his pocket but a few seconds later, it rang again. He also ignored the second call and now after a few dozen seconds, the phone rang again.
"What is it?!" Astolfo shouted
"What took you so long to answer?" Anatoly said from the other line
"Oh its just you brother, Why have you called? If it isn't important then please just hang up." Astolfo said
"Well don't worry I'll make things quick, the slayer is headed to where Quinn is." Anatoly said
"Oh, what a delighting news that is! So want me to mess up his arrival?" Astolfo said on a cheerful voice
"Idiot! Why would you mess up the arrival of one of our great allies! What I need you to do is help him do what he has come there to do, I'm pretty sure that whatever it is, it'll benefit us in some way or another." Anatoly said
"Alright great, I'll hang up now."
The call ends, and Astolfo went back to his business that is to pour all the crushed mushrooms in to a small bottle he is holding. Astolfo doesn't plan on wasting any of the mushrooms as he worked hard to find all of those mushrooms and he is sure that if a tiny drop didn't make it into the bottle, he would surely rage.
Fortunately, no drops of crushed mushroom has been spilled. He stood up from where he is kneeling and stretched his body as he prepared himself to the impact that his speed will give him.
'I really don't want to tire myself out but I've got no choice but to move quick.'
A few seconds of stretching later, Astolfo had positioned his body onto cheetah stance and on the count of three; he blasted off like a stock car that has been held off by a clutch. Despite moving quickly, the air could be seen being cut through by Astolfo's speed.
