Chapter 60: 60: Boss (1)

The explosions and the sound of guns being used lasted for quite a while, but they never approached the area where Luke and the others were. He had imagined that the soldiers would use their weapons indiscriminately and destroy the whole city. Considering Billy's words, it made sense… However, they didn't consider that perhaps the soldiers were clearing some areas first to gain power faster and then rely on their own strength instead of firearms and bombs after reaching a certain level. It would be more convenient since producing ammo would be difficult from now on. It looked like the situation got the better of him and he began to worry too much about things...

Nevertheless, after half an hour, the group noticed that the noise was decreasing. The number of explosions wasn't taking place as often as before. The choppers were about to retreat, but Luke decided to wait.

"The light of the pickup will reveal our positions… we can't let them find us," Luke said.

"Do you think they might try to kill you again, even though one of them already failed?" Amanda asked.

"They have more reasons to do that now… because by killing a fellow human being, we can get one of their skills, a massive amount of experience, and all of their gold coins," Luke said.

Amanda and Celia couldn't understand how someone would kill another to gain something so… intangible. They were also worried that Luke had the tendency to imagine the worst coming from everyone. Still, they realized that he had reasons to do so. Regardless, their parents could imagine that, while they had never been on the battlefield, they lived during some decades where countries fought over resources. Killing thousands and more thousands, even if they didn't want to, some soldiers would follow orders to kill unarmed people if they thought it was for their countries' good. While Luke wasn't unarmed, he still was a civilian… even if he was a civilian who was forced to kill some people in self-defense.

When things went silent on the west side of the city, Luke and the others still could hear some sounds and tremors coming from north and south. It seemed that the military would clear the east side of the city later. Nevertheless, it was time for them to move.

"Go, go!" Luke said, and then Stanley stepped on the gas.

"The roads will be blocked by corpses and damaged due to the attacks, how are we going to cross it?" Celia asked.

"We will have to find a way since we can't carry too much with us, we will need his vehicle," Luke replied.

That wasn't much of an answer, but Celia understood that it would be too much to expect Luke to have all of them. They headed toward the horde that they left behind as fast as possible because soon, the giant crows would be there to eat the corpses. Perhaps they could even get the skill books and the weapons for themselves. While it was hard to imagine them using both, they couldn't risk it.

After a while, Luke recalled the quest and noticed that the timing had disappeared… he clicked his tongue since he lost the chance to obtain a special skill book, but in the end, he soon calmed down. It was too much to expect that seven people could kill almost one hundred thousand mutant zombies in three hours, after all.

It didn't take long for the group to reach the area where the attack happened, and they couldn't help but frown at the sigh in front of them. While it wasn't impossible to cross, the road's asphalt had almost been completely destroyed, and pieces of bodies were everywhere. Not to mention the smell… The putrid smell was a mix of chemicals. Putrid bodies and burned flesh were enough to make everyone roll their eyes. Luke quickly jumped from the car and began to open a path by swinging the bodies away with his sword. Everyone, with the exception of Stanley, did the same.

Luke was hoping to find tons of weapons and skill books, but the reality was cruel. While he indeed found some weapons, they were only tiered two weapons. They quickly put them on the cargo compartment of the pickup, but Luke could tell that he would have to use them soon. In the distance, he could see some zombies still moving. As expected, the army focused on killing as many zombies as possible instead of opening an exit from the city.

With the help of Rina that boosted his strength and Shalia made many corpses explode, the group opened a path pretty fast, to the point where they found some big boats on the river nearby. However, all of them had sunk due to the monsters inside the river. Using them to speed up their escape was out of the question…

Eventually, the group reached the zombies that escaped the attack, but Luke had an easy time dealing with them. While their numbers were close to one thousand, they were too far apart from each other to pose a real threat. So, without hesitating, the group began to fight while they advanced. One after the other, the zombies began to fall like dominoes.

"There is a skill book ahead," Rina said. "I can't identify it from here, though."

That wasn't a problem, in fact, not knowing what he would learn made things more exciting. Nevertheless, Those words echoed quite nicely in Luke's head, so without hesitation, he headed toward the place Rina pointed. At that point, Amanda's group looked like they wouldn't do or say anything if Luke just tried to monopolize items and skill books. While he indeed wanted all the skill books for status points' sake, the other half wasn't completely true. He still couldn't use bows well, after all. Nevertheless, Luke found the book, and he frowned when he touched it.
