God of Time System: Harem in the Zombie Apocalypse-Chapter 99 A Familiar Face
[Michael Aroa's POV]
.
.
While I kept checking through the System a few more times, trying to see if this was all there was or did I miss something? Though, still not finding anything at all, I finally sighed before a question popped in my mind,
'What did it mean by 'side effects' ?' I questioned as I recalled that there was a side effect of using the God Powers despite being weak. But looking at the System, I couldn't find anything like that.
"Let's just hope it doesn't come biting me in the back later," I thought as I observed the System once more before moving out of the basement.
Moving out, I noticed that it was morning as the sun was shining brightly, but it still didn't reach the top. My eyes then noticed White and the others moving towards the building.
By the look on their faces, it seemed like things were still going nice. I wonder what Caroline is doing right now.
I then moved towards them as they looking at me shouted,"Sir Michael!!"
I chuckled as I waved at them before I saw White looking at me with a concentrated gaze. Not minding him much, I then asked,
"How are you doing, White? And… Can you tell me how long I have been away for?"
There was an awkward look on my face as I knew how odd it sounded, but without any visible reaction on his face he answered,"10 Days."
I sighed in relief as it was only 10 days and not more than 2 weeks. All this time, the difference between different planes might make things difficult for me someday. Though 10 days here but merely an hour in a dungeon?
The thought of what would have happened if I had stayed for more than a day in the dungeon kind of scared me…. But then another thought came into my mind.
'Maybe I was unconscious for a long time?' I thought as I realized that there could have been a reason for me to be so late to arrive here. Though I put it at the back of my mind, not that I have any way to find about it, anyway.
"Is Caroline up?" I asked as I observed White and he then looked at me for a few moments before he began speaking.
He explained to me what had happened in the past few days and everything that they have been through. Hearing him, I turned quiet for a few moments before I sighed as I stretched a little and spoke,
"Well, I guess you had your reasons. Though, can you tell me the direction where they went? I think it's a nice time for a walk."
White looked at me for a few seconds before he sighed and spoke,"when will you be returning?"
"By the evening," I smiled as I understood where his question was coming from. He probably had thought I might have ditched him and right after I came back, once again I am going out.
"Well, I guess I was going to wait for 4 days, anyway. Another half day won't change anything,"he spoke as he gave a long sigh before he said,
"Near the bus station about 3 kilometers in that direction you will see a small mini mart. It's 'VAGUS' market. The sign is in big red colors, so you will know it as soon as you reach there."
I nodded before asking,"where is George by the way?"
I knew Alex and Caroline went out, but White didn't mention anything about George.
"He is clearing a few zombies behind the building," White said, and I pondered a little before speaking,"all right. I will be leaving now. See you in the evening… that being said, can you find a way to communicate between us in case we went too far away?"
White nodded,"already working on it. There are a few ideas, but honestly there is not much scope. Still, if we can somehow use antennas to create a network, maybe things will work."
I pondered over it before nodding at him,"sure. I will leave the complicated stuff to you."
Before leaving, I took a look at everyone among us and found a few people a bit stronger than the others. I smiled as I commented,"you guys sure are improving faster. Well, try not to overdo it. Sometimes the energy will consume you faster than you can think."
Then, under the fixed gazes of everyone, I walked out of the area and looked around before moving in a full circle around the building, where I found George fishing a few zombies and killing them slowly. He was attracting zombies towards him before trapping them in obstacles and killing them.
"Use this," I shouted as I threw my club in the air towards him.
[Black Club of the Doomsday Survivor (Uncommon)]
[One of the best blunt weapons that any survivor would like to carry. It has a high durability and strength and allows the user to kill anything with a couple of hits.
Special Effects: +10 Strength
ATK: 70 :: Durability: 500/500]
After it lost its effects from the dungeon, there wasn't much use left of it. George would probably benefit more from it than I would. Plus, it will increase the safety of the people in Libra.
George caught the club with a bit of surprise in his eyes before a bright smile appeared on his face. I waved at him before asking,"do you need any assistance?" at which he shook his head and spoke,"It's fine, Sir Michael. Caroline and Alex went that way. They left in the morning. You should check on them first."
I nodded at him with a smile before turning around as I spoke loudly,"see you in the evening George." and he too shouted,"see you later, Sir Michael."
[Temporal Deceleration!]
[Temporal Deceleration (Copy)!]
Activating my abilities, I started running towards the area where Caroline and Alex were supposed to be.
"Whoa!!!" I shouted in disbelief as I found myself running faster than ever. I didn't see much difference in the dungeon, but with so many Stat Points… I was literally flying. I'm probably as fast as a racing car.
Took me about 20-30 seconds to reach the area where the Vagus Mall was located. Saw its bright red banner and the bus station which White was talking about. Though I did not find Caroline or Alex.
I then turned off my ability as I looked around. Maybe I could hear the sound of fighting somewhere around the area?
-Trtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtr
I heard a strange sound coming from somewhere. It was as if a machine gun was being fired at a distance from here.
Tried pinpointing it, though it didn't seem like I needed to. I could more or less sense some people at a distance, traveling in a car, from here.
'Ummmm… there,' I pinpointed the exact location where the sound was coming from and then
[Temporal Deceleration!]
[Temporal Deceleration (Copy)!]
I then began running once again towards the place where the sound was coming from. After running for another 10 seconds or so, I saw a jeep of sorts moving towards me and about 4 people in it. One driving while the other three firing on the zombies behind them.
I could barely see more than a couple of D-Grade Zombies with high agility running towards them. They must be really unlucky to get that many agility based D-Grades behind them.
Even with three people shooting, they failed to kill the zombies.
[Colors of the Golden Rainbow (Weapon:Crossbow)]
[A fine crossbow made from the combined efforts of the Seven Nations of Planet Leyra. Being blessed with all the Energies, it has the ability to pour out any form of Elemental Energy you want.
Attack: 230 || Durability: 5000/5000
Energies Attacks: +100% Damage of Air/Water/Ice/Fire/Electro/Light/Dark
Effect 1: When the user uses a particular Elemental Attack using this crossbow, his affinity with that Element increases by 25%.
Effect 2: When idle, all Elemental attacks will be increased by 10%]
Taking out the already recharged crossbow, I then pointed in the direction where the zombies were. Making sure I didn't hit the jeep, I then
-SHOT!!!
-BOOOM!!! f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m
A fire filled energy followed the shot as it went between the people in the jeep and hit the D-Grade Zombie behind them, blasting 4 of them into pieces.
I turned off my ability as I prepared for another shot.
The driver almost lost control but still managed to control the car before his eyes laid on me.
"Move," I spoke and for some reason he understood my intentions and moved his car a bit to the side and
-SHOT!!
-SHOT!!
-SHOT!! 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m
-BOOM!!
-BOOM!!
-BOOM!!!
All shots hit perfectly, killing all the zombies who were following the people in the jeep. I then saw the eyes of the driver turning a bit red before he sighed in relief as he pressed the brakes, drifting the jeep to the side and stopping the vehicle a few meters away from me.
My eyes shifted to one of the people at the back, who was holding a mini machine gun in her hands.
"Long time no see, Myla." I spoke as I saw that girl, who was observing me with a shocked expression.
