against the odds. 8:24am.

as time passed people found out that someone was living inside the last fully intact room. surprisingly even the water and power was still working. periodically a black figure will walk out carrying a basket.

he had a full body suit with a helmet on. he likes to walk around looking at the stalls full of delicious food. he never even looked at the other ones. no matter how hard they tried to get him to buy something but it never happened.

he always had a lot of money and he was only spending it all on food.

no one understood that. but what can they do about it? I mean it's not like you can just walk up to someone who is wearing something that is covered in blood and carries weapons in the open without a care in the world. usually as soon as someone was seen in this type of the situation should call the police to come over and arrest them. but how do you call police on the only person who is protecting you from the monsters who roam the street.

these monsters are not nice no they are called gangsters, mafia, and other street rats who love to feed on the pain of others.

just a few days ago:

right after the destruction of several blocks the trio was trying to help the survivors. during the process zero heard a message from the system.

"creation of the store is in process"

"14% out of 100%"

he could not understand why or what was happening. as he was walking around and digging in the ruble the percentage was going up slowly. if he stayed in the same area for a while they would stop at a certain time and not go up. seeing this understanding of what he had to do to finish the creation of the store to 100%. he was going to explore to make it work.

(so I need to move around to complete the process of the store)

after helping out within the demented area a big group of dengerouse looking man appeared carrying weapons and shovels. (what do they want)

the group stoped at an unknown spot and began digging with extreme awareness of what they are doing.

(we already saved the bank people who were there.) he could not understand why they would work so hard in an place that had no injured people left.

as he went over to his companions and then the trio went exploring the neighborhood in order to complete the store.

one of the thugs followed them.

******

(where they going?) the young girl followed her query. she was abandoned to the street by her house as they wanted a boy because they needed someone strong to learn the art of metal fabrication. this includes foraging, welding, shaping, and other phisical labor. instead of a boy they just had to give birth to a girl.

no matter how much they tried to teach her the art she was always slow as her natural week body required to do enough to finish the job.

frustrated they kicked her out of the house as they were not interested in a useless tool.

in order to survive she had no choice but to join a local group of dengerouse looking people. they said that they were going to protect her as long as she doesn't disobey any orders.

she learned that if she ever had a single idea of not doing what they say that she was going to surely regret it.

one time she had to steal the money from the local convenience store. she reminded that the store was empty and someone else had already broke the window with a rock.

her job was to go in and take some booze. as she climbed in her leg gut a deep cut from the broken glass.

getting too scared to keep going she stopped and ran back to the hideout splashing blood as she ran.

even though her reason for not being able to finish the job. she still got a beating of a life time for not following orders.

ever since then she improved and had never disobeyed any orders.

******

this day she was to follow. and so she did. and will do so until the end of the world if she had to.
