Chapter 31: Cafeteria


    "Prepare yourselves! After an hour we will leave dormitory building and move towards our target."


    Setting the time of their raid, he nced at Rachel and Kate thest time and returned to his room to adjust his condition and to check his equipment. At the same time as he entered his room, a short timeter, others also followed after him, finishing their meals.


    An hourter, everyone had gathered at the entrance doors of their dormitory as everybody was nervous. Rachel and Kate were just frightful of going outside, while others had a clear understanding of dangers they might encounter on their way.


    Everything had happened during the lunch, meaning that there would be tons of zombies around and inside it. Moreover, it was located in a quite popr area, so they needed to be also careful of other zombies lurking slightly further than a cafeteria.


    There were several cafeterias around their university, and every one of them was bustling with people when the voice had resounded in their minds, making them one of the most dangerous ces on the campus.


    Without any dy, Dave led them out of the building and entrusted their route to Brian, who had his Life Pulse to detect monster surrounding them.


    While they were moving, Rachel and Kate were ncing at their surrounding and when they spotted zombies wandering aimlessly, they paled even more than when Dave told them that they were going with them.


    It was already more than a week, and they had never left their dormitory building after everything had happened, so they never saw a zombie, though they had heard about them from Adam and Brian. Finally, when they had seen one for themselves, they felt terror invading their minds, as they tried to stick as close as possible to the main group.


    Rachel even held on Adam''s shirt, clinging on him without noticing it since all her attention was on zombies which their group kept avoiding. Instead of a charismatic woman she seemed at first, she looked like a little child who was scared of everything.


    "There is a small group on the way ahead. It seems we should kill them to move forwards."


    Suddenly, Brian had stopped on his tracks and reported their situation, which caused even more panic in two girls'' hearts. However, Dave only nodded his head and signalled with his eyes to continue moving.


    After several days of hunting together, Brian had understood him without any words and kept leading them towards the small group of zombies. When they finally reached the small group of zombies, Dave and a trio rushed at them swiftly and handled them as silently as possible.


    Equipped with weapons from the System, they seemed extremely proficient in dealing with them since it wasn''t their first day. For Dave, it was even more than five years, so it would have beenughable for him if he made a stupid mistake while hunting ordinary zombies.


    However, it couldn''t be said about Rachel and Kate who looked stunned at their swift performance, but even more shocking for them was how Reba had killed her zombie. Just several days ago she was just an ordinary girl like them, yet now she was killing zombies which invoked fear in their hearts.


    She had left them far behind her and was doing what they didn''t dare to do. While Reba was dealing with her zombie, Kate looked at her enviously since she understood clearly that Reba gained power in her words and actions.


    Handling zombies which blocked their way and avoiding big groups, their group of six slowly moved towards their destination, cafeteria. Truthfully, the cafeteria was much further than their area of hunting, so they had shown additional caution since they never scouted that area before.


    Normally, people rode bicycles and owned cars to reach certain ces in the university, yet Dave didn''t have a choice but to move by walking since it was much more dangerous riding a bike than walking, just because bike limited your movements. Furthermore, they would return to their base on vans, so he decided to bear with it.


    Approximately after half an hour, they had reached a cafeteria, so they could see it. Before approaching it, they decided to scan their surrounding and identify numbers of zombies in that area. Even though Brian was using Life Pulse sparingly, he had already spent more than half of his mana reserves, while they were moving towards it.


    As he sent Life Pulse, Brian seemed to be stunned as fear appeared in his eyes, but he seemed to calm down himself as he analyzed their situation. A short timeter, he gave a report to everyone.


    "There too many zombies around us to fight head-on, so we better not to disturb all of them. Furthermore, a cafeteria is just packed with zombies and there are two Hunters inside a cafeteria. Also, there are two things I found inside the building."


    "What is it?"


    Adam couldn''t help but ask out from pure curiosity.


    "Along with Hunters, there is an unknown type of zombie and it''s aura is slightly stronger than other zombies that we met so far."


    Listening to him, Dave already understood what type of zombie was inside a cafeteria. It should be a Ghoul, which was kind of a mix between a Hunter and a Giant. It was the same as a double Evolver of strength and agility stat among Awakeners.


    Even though Ghoul was quite a special zombie among other zombies, it wasn''t stronger than a mutated dog by much, yet it may be troublesome to deal with. Shrugging it off, he asked about a second thing Brian had found.


    "And what''s the second point?"


    "I''ve detected traces of survivors inside the cafeteria, to be precise, two of them are hiding inside a cafeteria."


    At Brian''s words, everybody looked at him stunned since, except for them, they didn''t find any survivors in this week. While everyone was delighted to find other survivors, Dave was already thinking about them.


    ''There are only two humans, meaning they shouldn''t pose much of a danger, and it''s likely that one of them would be from staff members so that they could help us with finding and opening a storage room.''


    Deciding that they wouldn''t be a threat for them, he finally let a satisfied smile as they approached the cafeteria. It was quite a huge building with white milk walls and columns supporting its structure.


    But before entering the building and ughtering all zombies inside it, he decided to check the presence of vans close to them with his Mana Sensing. He spread his senses to his surroundings and found two ck vans parked on the other side of a cafeteria.


    ''As far as now, it''s going ording to our n.''


    Then, he signalled everyone to follow him as he slowly approached the doors of a cafeteria and entered inside of it as he was weed by a swarm of zombies.
