Human help.

Nate and Peter, we're currently running for in a particular direction, with Lyon following behind.

It would have been the latter in front but after an hour of running, he was getting exhausted as his speed started to slow down.

In normal circumstances, he was the fastest among Nate and Peter, and Nate that, that's why now that he was the one hindering their movement, Nate was annoyed but he still had to slow down his pace so that he could catch up.

It was understandable to Nate he knew why even he was not tired now and that is because Nate and Peter are zombies that have unlimited stamina and could keep doing one particular thing without stopping or tiring out.

But Lyon was just an altar human being, though he was now above a normal human being's statistics, he did not have any part of him that states with unlimited stamina, if not he could not have been a drawback to Nate and Peter.

Peter himself, thanks to his new evolution, was now matching names in speed though he was still lacking slightly but not to the extent that he was now a kind of drawback to Nate.

During the race, Nate has to stop a few times to let Lyon, who was now struggling to move certain parts of his body.

Running so far, they had now encountered any form of danger only zombies which are typically useless to them because Nate and Peter was already a zombie, Lyon is something that zombies don't find delicious, so their journey was left smooth only Lyon was slowing down.

Things were going as normal till now when all of a sudden, an explosive sound was heard.

Boom...!!!

A violent breeze hit Nate and the rest, lifting them off their feet and throwing them on the floor.

It did not stop there, more cars and trash cans were lifted into the sky even some of the zombies were lifted.

[Function= stabilize yourself by all means]

Nate did not know what specific command to give Peter, so he just chose a random command. He went for Lyon, who was hanging onto a pole.

Peter summoned the pickaxe that instant and stabbed it on the ground.

Nate also went for the pole Lyon was holding onto as he pulled backwards.

Soon, Lyon's feet were back on the ground as the rough breeze wave passed through.

"What was this?"

It was at this time that Nate had looked backwards at where it all came from.

What he saw was a mushroom-like smoke in the sky.

"Did that just come from that direction? The place we were just a few hours ago"

The thing is that Nate could not tell what was happening, at that place right now.

He just heard the sound of a roaring engine and had decided to leave the area. He did not care to know who was approaching and just left with the two beside him.

"If this is another fight coming, I will tell you that I'm too tired to go engaged in one"

"We better get out of hearing" Lyon mumbled.

While he was still saying this, Nate's face just frowned.

"I know what I'm talking about, I saw two teenagers with an adult running in this direction"

Nate heard a childish voice coming from the corner, but before he could do anything. The person having the voice just showed up.

"I told you that they are still a teenager in this world" It was a girl. The girl seems thirteen years old, with three men that were typically adults at least in their late thirties or something of that sort.

Seeing them, Nate tightened his grip on the hammer as he was preparing to strike at any time.

The one that seems oldest and strongest at the same time walking forward, not to Nate but to Lyon.

"You will have to explain what you are doing with two teenagers in a catastrophic world like this"

His voice was bold that if Lyon did not have Nate by his side now, he could have been bowing down to the person in front of him.

"Common I'm just kidding"

"I'm V and these are my friends"

"Were are specialized in taking in any survival we spot on the road that needs help" Stretching out his hand, V introduced himself.

Lyon nervously took it while using his other hand to scratch his head.

He was also looking in Nate's direction to know what the guy's mood was when seeing him being thought of as the leader.

It was clear that V thought that Lyon was the leader of the small group, after all, he is the oldest among them.

"We will take your offer anyway"

Thankfully, Nate had intervals just in time before Lyon could make the decision.

Though V was kind of amazed by how casual Nate was, he did not give it much thought.

"Less I forget to get, this is my daughter, Mini, and those are my friends, Tony and Ron.

Nate only nodded in response to the others.

"I thought you said that the virus is not on the air, why is he wearing a face mask? And what is the pickaxe for" Mini was already in front of Peter while tugging his cloth.

"Get away from him!" Lyon shouted, frightening Mini, as she jumped up.

And ran towards V and hid behind him.

Soon, Lyon realised the mistake he just made by shouting as this had attracted some attention.

Soon the zombies nearby start to walk toward them, sensing a life force.

*****

Meanwhile, Nate was dealing with his encounter with humans.

The person behind the explosion was being taken away to their base with the bulldozer.

"So you are going to tell him your name right?" The bodyguard asked."

"I am a man of my word, I have given it to him, so I will do as I said."

"Don't be afraid that he can do anything to me, you should start thinking of what type of weapon you would like to make from that crystal in your hand?" the redhead man said lighting a cigarette as he took a long sip from it.

Hearing what the read head man just said, he looked at the crystal in his hand.

'I was not the one that fought that cat, so why should I be the one to use it '. This thought was going through his mind as he started to recall the battle between Kai and the beast while analyzing if he could have killed the beast with his current strength.
