Getting Out

Hearing Albert's words, the man looked up to look at him.

The look in his eyes was a mix of shock and confusion. But he still managed to keep his face to keep looking calm.

"Explain to us," the man said.

Albert nodded. Outside, there was the sound of zombies rampaging in the background.

"Hey, Albert," the adult man sitting next to him said. "Did you see what the zombies turned into?"

Albert sat and looked at him. "It's getting worse. They've grown to be three meters tall and their blades also become bigger."

"Shit…" The adult man in the suit muttered with frightened eyes.

Albert looked at him with a level gaze. 'His power is pretty good. What is the reason for being so afraid?'

"Tell me about your findings earlier," the man with a stern face said demandingly.

Albert turned back to him and started explaining what he had seen.

Albert started straight to the point, where he noticed that there was a man who looked very young.

He could use the Skill [Burning Hand] which could only be used by spending lots of coins.

Albert also explained his great fighting ability. It was as if his whole body had fully adapted to this apocalypse.

Or as if he already had higher Stats than everyone else at this stage.

Hearing that, the stern-faced man frowned. It made his face look even sterner than before.

Turns out, it's possible for him to look more stern.

"Are you sure about that?" the man asked.

"Leon, I'm sure. I saw it with my own eyes," Albert said.

Leon, turned his eyes the other way. Then he scratched his chin.

Albert knew that was what he usually did when he was thinking.

"Maybe we should meet him later," Leon said. "Wiley, how about we head out now? Are you ready?"

Leon glanced at the adult man in the suit. His agitated face made him look unprepared "Should we really be leaving now?" Wiley asked. His reluctant feelings could be seen clearly.

"Yes." Leon glanced up at the clock on the wall above Wiley. "It's about time. You heard the info that woman gave us last night, right?"

The group has also done a Night Quest. After completing the Quest, they got a clue as a reward.

The clue said that at twelve o'clock in the afternoon the next day, something called Supply Cache would appear at a predetermined location.

The rewards they got from completing D-rank Quests were just that. They don't get coins or Exp from completing the Quest.

They all think that the reward they receive is pretty shitty. But, Leon said that there was no point in complaining. So they decided to just accept that.

Wiley sighed. "I guess it can't be helped. Why do we have to bother to get that reward? Why don't they give it directly to us?"

"Whoever is behind this apocalypse is an asshole," a woman who looked the same age as Wiley said after being silent for a while.

"Let's go," she said. "I'll pave the way. As usual."

The woman stood up first holding a hammer in her hand. She who had been silent until now had turned into a figure that looked the most prepared among them.

Leon grinned. "That's a good spirit, Rosie."

Leon also stood up. In the end, all the members of the group got to their feet and prepared to head out into the terrifying sights out there.

Leon was holding a machete with a shiny blade. The Machete was his own and Leon took good care of it.

Behind him, the youngest girl of them closed her eyes. A yellow light appeared around her body.

The rest of the group waited for her to finish before starting to move.

It was because she had a Private Attribute that allowed her to see the future.

Even though she could only see up to thirty seconds into the future, but in this world's situation, being able to see even for a second was an advantage.

Albert stood while holding a short dagger in one hand. Suddenly his body turned transparent, almost invisible.

He also got that ability from his Private Attribute.

Leon turned his head towards the young girl. He and the rest of the group waited for her to finish.

It wasn't long before the young girl opened her eyes.

"How is it, Lola? What did you see?" Leon asked.

Lola started to explain what would happen in the next thirty seconds.

She could only see the future from her own perspective but since Lola was at the back, she could see the rest of the group in front of her.

Lola gave a short and fast explanation. The other group members had gotten used to it because they already do it since yesterday. So they do their best to pay full attention.

With that ability to see into the future, Lola could also tell how many zombies were behind the door including their position. That is a huge advantage for them.

"Alright. That's enough. We'll break through and head straight for the Supply Cache location," Leon said. "Everybody ready?"

Wiley, Rosie, Albert, and Lola nodded their heads almost simultaneously. After that, they put their gas mask on.

Seeing that his group was ready, Leon walked closer to the door and opened it.

Their hearts pounded as they saw the door finally slowly open.

Instantly, huge blades connected to flesh tentacles extended inward.

The tentacles danced wildly trying to find their prey. Rosie who already knew what she had to do walked forward and lifted her hammer.

Electric sparks appeared in her hammer. Rosie swung her hammer at the door with full force and screamed.

"HYAAAHHH!"

*BOOM!*

*JZZZZZRRRRRTTT!*

A surge of electricity shot out with the impact of the hammer against the door.

The zombies who had grown their heads against the ceiling were electrocuted and convulsing. They were unable to move for a few moments.

Wiley, Albert, and Leon launched their attacks all at once.

Take advantage of the opportunity that has been created by Rosie.
