Nice! One skill card, one ultimate skill card, and the location of my next target. Animal Shapeshifting... Sounds like a great power. If I can get this power, won't it be kinda OP?! I mean, I can turn into Godzilla and wreck the shit out of the zombies, hahaha... Yeah, right. I don't think it would work. But still, animal shapeshifting sounds awesome... So, our next destination is Kansas, huh?! It's just as I thought, this System will make me fight probably all the heroes on the way to LA.

As for the ultimate skill card, I wonder what it is... Jace is nowhere to be seen, so, we got time till he returns. In the meantime, I might as well check out these two skill cards.

"Hey! Ya alright?!" Harley's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah, why?" I turned to Harley.

"Ya blanked out for a few seconds. Thought ya went crazy or something," She grinned.

"Hahaha... Nah, I was just checking something," I laughed awkwardly.

"Checking something? What?" She asked, tilting her head.

"It's a secret for now," I replied.

"A secret?! Harl got a couple of secrets too," Harley grinned mischievously.

"Really? Like what?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Secret!" She winked, placing her index finger on her lips.

"Alright, I won't pry. But maybe two of us can share some of those secrets over some beer?" I grinned.

"Beer!? Where?!" Harley stood up excitedly.

"Not now. Due to limited supply, only those who have completed their mission can have a bottle. But since you took down an entire hoard of zombies alone, I think you can have one, after dinner that is," I chuckled.

"Hooray!!!" Harley jumped up and down, cheering loudly.

Dang! I like her smile and that weird... How do I say this... That innocent and clueless personality of hers?

"Ok. Ok. Calm down. Why don't you take this..." I took out an assault rifle from my inventory and gave it to her. "and join the patrol team? We still got time till dinner." I can't yet trust her with the laser weapons. Considering her jumpy personality, she might rush into a hoard again to test out the gun.

"Woah! A new toy!" Harley snatched the assault rifle from my hand. "Ok. Boss. Harl will go and join the patrol team and kill some more zombies." She saluted and ran outside.

I sighed and shook my head.

"Ah! A salute from a clown... Must feel nice, huh?!" Tyger snorted.

"Jealous?" I smirked.

"Of what? That clown? Pfffttt... No!" She denied, turning her head away.

"Right... Whatever you say..." I shrugged, walking toward the truck with the locked box. I opened the back and went in, closing it behind me.

Inside the back of the truck, I took out the skill cards and the ultimate skill card. The regular one was shiny blue and the ultimate one was dark red in color. Ok. Now how to use these babies?

I examined the blue one and the description appeared.

I touched the 'Y' on the screen before me. Wow! I can feel it now...

The screen changed as soon as I confirmed my choice.

Skill: Safe area generation

[Activating this skill creates a safe zone reserved only for your team. The size of the area will expand according to the size of your team. No zombies or outsiders can enter the area unless permitted.]

Type: Zone

Cooldown: Limited to duration with a fixed 12 hrs limit

Duration: 12 hrs/day (Deactivating the skill before the duration will retain the unused time. Unused time will be carried over to the next activation)

****

Huh?! My mouth dropped open when I read through the skill description. This skill... Isn't it OP?! Imagine being able to create a safe zone anytime, anywhere?! In this zombie-infested world where humans are more dangerous than zombies, such a skill is godly! 12 hours per day and it even retains the unused duration, so, with enough savings...

Freaking hell!!!

With enough savings, I can probably use the safe zone for a week or probably a month... If not more...

Everyone can now get good sleep and rest without the worries of patrolling at night and the zombies breaking into the camp. Even those raiders or bandits won't be able to get into our camp anymore.

Oh, man! This skill... It's just too freaking awesome...

I grabbed the ultimate skill card and checked it out.

I selected 'Y'.

The screen changed before me.

Ultimate Skill: Corpse explosion

[Randomly explodes multiple corpses within the user's line of sight. Radius: 100 meters]

Type: AOE

Cooldown: NIL

Duration: Instant

Note: This skill is upgradable. Kill 100 zombies using Corpse Explosion to add a random elemental property to Corpse Explosion.

****

Oh!!! Now that's a skill I need! Randomly exploding multiple corpses within my line of sight, eh?! No cooldown or anything like that and the range is 100 meters, which is enough for me to use it freely. Not to mention, I can upgrade it to the next level. Elemental properties... Huh?! Just imagining myself blowing up a hoard with an exploding corpse surrounded by flames gives me goosebumps...

This is simply... Awesome!!!

I'll be the bigger man here and forgive this system for putting me in all danger just because of these skills. Anyway, I wonder what's my limit. Although there isn't any cooldown, but I doubt I can blow up millions of corpses, right? I guess I have to test this skill later. There has to be a price for using such an op skill... Right?!

----

It's already too late. Jace is late. This isn't like him. Could something have happened to him?! What if he got attacked by zombies or the raiders... Not to mention, that insane killer in the next building.

I went to the roof. Ange and her sniper team were there, keeping an eye around.

"Any moment from that girl next door?" I asked.

"No. Nothing suspicious," Ange replied, shaking her head. "You worried about Jace?" She asked.

"Yeah... A little..." I nodded.

"Don't worry. He should be fine," She reassured me. "That guy is a pro when it comes to surviving. He probably found something nice or... Well, no point thinking bad things, right?"

"Yeah, you're right," I nodded.

"I've noticed our new member. She is unique," Ange commented.

"Unique? How?" I turned to Ange.

"Well... You know... She is..." She paused for a while. "Nevermind... I think you know what I mean," She chuckled. "Ah! Speak of the devil..." She pointed at Harley who was running toward the camp gate.

"Hey, boss!!!" Harley greeted me with a smile, waving her hand excitedly.

I waved my hand back. She then ran out behind the patrol team. My eyes fell to the west and I noticed an SUV coming in this direction. I can see Jace in the driver's seat. Wait! I can see that far! Interesting...

"Hahaha! See, told you that guy must have found something good," Ange chuckled.
