14 Special Event NPC: Old School Janitor

On the rooftop of the tallest school building, an old man wearing janitor clothing was gazing towards another school building adjacent to his current location.

The old man's gaze seemed to see through walls, he observed how a zombie jumped towards a white-haired girl and wrestled her.

With concern, the old man spoke, "My sister should be able to defeat that zombie. Even if she can't, I won't interfere and save her. Anyway, this isn't truly a death game so if she loses, she won't truly die so I don't have to interfere."

Having the mindset of a spectator, the old man didn't plan to interfere in the game unless he wanted to make it more interesting.

The old man was none other than Weiss S. Albus who was currently an NPC in Zombie Survival Online. 

On the school rooftop where Weiss was, there were stacks of boxes filled with non-perishable food such as canned foods and instant foods. In other stacks of boxes were also medicines of almost every kind.

All of them were placed neatly stacked on the school rooftop. If other players knew of this, they wouldn't hesitate to kill Weiss just to loot all of the items here and keep it all to themselves.

After all, Weiss looked like an old school janitor so those players would be confident to defeat a frail old man.

Although Weiss had made rules to prevent rape and sexual harassment, he didn't prevent killing, or else it would be too boring. Especially in a zombie apocalypse world where society's laws were nonexistent, it wouldn't be unusual for those players and even NPCs to kill others just to plunder their food or weapons.

Weiss had programmed all of the NPCs to have the same sentience as that of a human. Unless those players revealed themselves, they wouldn't be able to differentiate a player from an NPC.

Currently, the role that Weiss took was a special event NPC. As long as a player entered this school rooftop and finished the old school janitor's task, they would be able to receive all of the loot here.

While Weiss was observing his sister's actions, he noticed that Ayame managed to kill the zombie with her metal baseball bat by crushing its head.

After defeating the zombie, Ayame proceeded to descend from the school staircase.

Seeing Ayame's successfully eliminating the zombie, Weiss heaved a sigh of relief, "As expected of my sister, she is a skilled fighter."

"I already know that the world where I'm transmigrated is none other than a parallel world. I transmigrated to my parallel self's body where not only I didn't practice any martial arts, but I have a sister who did so."

"My identity in this world is that of a top hacker in this world. On the other hand, my sister is a game streamer—a very popular one at that. After all, Ayame is a very beautiful girl gamer so she has a lot of fans."

"Whenever Ayame would be bashed online or have her social media accounts attacked by hackers, my previous self dealt with all of it. And for self-defense, Ayame learned martial arts while I learned gun marksmanship."

"Like me, Ayame must have treated Zombie Survival Online as nothing but a game even after I did a game announcement revealing that players who die in this game will die in real life."

"As expected of my sister! A prodigy brother like me would also have a prodigy sister. The genes of the family are so good."

While praising his sister, Weiss also praised himself. He didn't have any problems with praising himself since it was the truth.

"However, even if Ayame can survive this zombie apocalypse, could she find this special event location? If she could, then she would obtain not only boxes of food and medicine but also the space storage bracelet that came along with it."

"If not, then she could only blame her luck. After all, this special event location is crucial for surviving longer in Zombie Survival Online. The space storage bracelet is useful for storing all of the hoarded items inside it. It's like having a portable warehouse and it has the cubic size of an average classroom. But with Ayame's mindset, she might not have the thought of wasting her time to explore the other areas of the school premises."

"Whoever obtains the space storage bracelet will become one of the top 3 survivors as long as they aren't stupid enough to make rookie mistakes."

Weiss wondered while stroking his white beard, looking at other school buildings where players fought or ran away from zombies.

In the game world, even if he is killed, he could resurrect in the body of another NPC. At least, that was the only cheat he enabled in terms of preserving his life.

While Weiss was observing what had transpired in the entire school, he perceived someone ascending towards the school rooftop using the staircase.

After half a minute had passed, the door that leads to the school rooftop opened, showing the appearance of a high school boy entering the school rooftop.

When the high school boy saw the stacks of boxes, his eyes were filled with greed since he could see that some of those boxes were opened and showed food and medicine.

But after seeing the old school janitor, the high school boy frowned before asking, "You should be an NPC, right? If you were a player, you would have already packed all of these and used them for yourself."

Without waiting for the old school janitor to reply to his question, the high school boy pointed the bokken (wooden sword) in his hand toward the old school janitor and threatened, "Hand over all of the food and medicine or else I'll kill you with my one-sword style sakura swordsmanship."
