Chapter 15 ( weekend bonus)

After filling all our bottles we returned to the third floor and headed towards the second.

Talita: "I feel bad leaving her here"

Maria: "it was her decision"

Talita: "I know it was but I still feel bad"

Me: "I can't force people, I can only do it up to a certain point after that and with them"

I thought it best to end this conversation.

The second, first and ground floor of this building and department store usually have a lot of people, especially at the end of the year, in case you forgot, it's November.

"from now on let's just talk in low voices"

The girls whisper: "it's okay"

From the top of the stairs we have already seen two zombies and a body at the bottom of the stairs facing us, according to analysis they are two lvl 2 zombies.

I speak in a low voice.

"while you're entertained, let's try to kill without being noticed, I'll take the one on the right. "

We started going down the stairs slowly.

I managed to dispatch mine very easily with this new knife, the girls dispatched what was meant for them too, Maria was the one who killed it.

This floor is the clothing section, with several corridors divided by racks full of clothes, where there are probably several zombies hiding.

We spent the next hour checking corridor by corridor for zombies, killing several as we all leveled up.

This is our status now. (I will put the old value of what was changed in parentheses in front of the statuses)

"Get some clothes for a few days, I'll keep watch while you choose"

Talent greatly influences the speed of leveling up, already in the first few levels there is already a significant discrepancy between Maria and Talita, imagine when you are at level twenty or more.

Talita is a little uncomfortable about this, Maria tried to talk to her but she closed down on this subject, I'm going to have to intervene soon but I don't know what to say to improve the situation.

"I don't know what to say to cheer you up, are you the only one who can do it?" "

It wasn't my best line of support, but it did its job, she smiled.

While they were sorting some clothes I listened to the nearby noises, I didn't hear anything other than the girls talking quietly, I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that Maria called Lais a freeloading cow.

As there is no danger nearby, I also want some gloves, as Maria came from time to time putting a shirt in front of me to measure, I think they are getting clothes for me too.

When they said that women take time to choose clothes they were right, because even in the middle of an apocalypse they only finished around 2 pm.

In the meantime I heard that there was a commotion upstairs a few minutes ago, the guy must have turned into a zombie, someone must have killed him because it didn't take long for there to be a scream and then silence.

We exchanged backpacks for one with a little more space, never too much space.

Talita: "everything ready walace"

We are all now wearing jackets and gloves, except for the talita's glove, I don't know if it will help much if a zombie catches the agent, but for peace of mind it helps.

Talita: "when we leave here, where are we going?, I would like to check on my boyfriend… before proceeding with anything"

She said the second part with a meaningful look at me, I could understand that she wants to make sure her boyfriend died before something happens between us.

Or I'm just seeing what I want to see, but I don't think that's it.

Maria: "Whatever you decide is fine with me… I don't want to know what happened to…"

It's understandable not to want to know what happened to your parents, I also don't want to know what happened to my mother.

"Do you know where your boyfriend is or was? the last time you spoke to him"

"He's at work, no, it's very far from here, four streets away"

"We have an immediate destination, after that I would like to leave the city before moving around the city becomes too dangerous"

Talita: " more dangerous than now? There are zombies everywhere you can see through the windows"

I'm not the one who responds to Maria anymore, she's a cultured girl.

"the danger won't just be from zombies, I think walace is referring to other people"

Me: "not just people but evolved zombies and it seems that the infection doesn't just affect humans"

When I said this I saw that Maria visibly trembled, she only realized now that I mentioned the catastrophe of zombie animals.

I'm still talking about possibilities, I haven't seen any...yet.

"It could be that I'm just thinking too much, I haven't seen or heard any zombie animals, I only have clues about the system, he never mentioned human infection but rather infected organisms"

I tried to soften what I said, as soon as I saw that the girls were terrified, especially Talita.

I think I shouldn't have said that now, I should have waited for another day, after they got used to my distorted way of seeing the world.

"Don't worry about something that hasn't happened yet or that might not even happen, ok"
