chapter 8 ( weekend bonus)

Now that the room is quieter, I can hear a soft crying noise coming from the hallway, I think it's from the room where the door is surrounded by zombies.

I'm going to try to divide the zombies to make it easier to kill, but while I was thinking about the next step, Luis says something that catches my attention.

"a lunchbox"

Yes, it caught my attention, I want to see if it's not contaminated… not because I'm hungry, believe me.

I approached them, Lais was already dividing it into five portions for everyone to eat something, yes she has been like that since I met her almost two years ago, always taking care of everyone.

I took my portion and stayed close to see what else they found, I saw that Talita was putting another coat in her backpack, and Maria was coming towards me with a bottle in her hand.

"Walace, can you see if it is contaminated? this bottle of water please"

I looked at the bottle in her hand.

Plastic bottle: contains drinking water.

And that was the lunchbox analysis.

Plastic container: contains more edible cold food.

"you can drink and drink"

She takes two sips and hands me the bottle, I took some too and passed it on to the others.

While I was enjoying my portion of food the noise in the hallway increased, as if someone or something was stirring up the zombies, I went to take a look while signaling to the others to continue eating.

When I arrived at the door I listened a little to see if there weren't any zombies very close, as the noise seemed a little far away I opened the door a little, as soon as I opened it I saw that the zombies were now divided into two doors.

It seemed like there were more people on that floor, I have to be more careful, you never know when you're going to be stabbed in the back, yes I'm suspicious.

I want to see if I can attract one or two to where I am, I'll wait for the others to finish eating.

Two minutes later Maria is the first to finish, she is approaching me and leans against my back placing her mouth close to my ear, her breasts are not very big but they are very firm and I really liked it.

"What did you see out there? "

"There are probably more people on this floor than those in the room we saw the zombies surrounding earlier"

"Do you want to attract zombies to make it easier to kill them? "

"That's right, I'm just waiting for everyone to finish eating, when I start I'll try to leave two alive so you can unlock the system"

She put her arms around my neck and gave me a little squeeze.

"Did you know you could see how many agents you need to kill to release the system, everyone needs two too? "

In case you haven't noticed, she's quite 'nerdy', in a good way, I really like her but I don't want to take advantage of the situation, she must be in shock, I'll wait a bit to be sure before accepting what she's offering, even if it's involuntary now, I just don't want to be a bad friend. (he's not dense, he's just not a guy who takes advantage of his friends, remember I said friends)

Before answering I look at the others who are still eating on the other side of the room, I'm not going to tell everyone yet I'm going to take a leap of faith that Maria will stay with me, as she has no relatives in the city and from what I know about her parents They are dead.

"from what I saw analyzing the four of you, the system gives a talent level to each person, high for you and lais, elevated for talita and medium for luis"

"so tall needs two zombies, I believe the others change this value, right? "

"Yes, Talita needs three and Luis needs four"

"So my talent is good? And which one is yours?"

Maria asked me curiously.

"I don't know about mine after the system unlocks, the talent no longer appears, perhaps when the analysis increases the level, but because of what the system explained the highest and yours and so on"

After I responded, she tightened her arms around my neck, I'm almost out of breath now, I pulled her arms a little so she moved away a little embarrassed.

I turned around and gave her a hug to show that I liked it, I don't want any stupid misunderstandings.

She relaxed on my chest, and now I see the others looking at us, well I'm not too uncomfortable but I don't know how Maria will react.

Apparently they've finished eating and I'm going to continue with my plan. I let go of Maria, who is positioned a little behind me to see the outside.

I knock on the door lightly to test, I wait a bit, a few seconds pass and nothing.

Another knock, a little louder this time, now the one closest to the room where we were comes towards me slowly.

I ask Maria to look through the crack in the door on the other side to see if anyone is coming from the stairs.

I'm glad I asked for this because there's one coming, dragging itself with its hands, it was probably under something.

"I will kill the one in front of me, the other I will leave for you Maria"

She looks at me a little apprehensively but waves at me, of course I'm not going to leave her unsupervised and what we're talking about is my life, she's still not irreplaceable, yes I know I'm an insensitive son of a bitch.

Lais is approaching, I signal with my hand for her to stop, I don't want to run out of space to move, it seemed like she didn't understand the reason because she frowned at me and turned away at least she sat down again, I talk to her after.
