Chapter 33: Resources


    ''Right, it should already be a time for other Enhancers to appear around the campus.''


    Noticing how a guy in the corridor held a Rusty Sword in his hands, Dave was silently evaluating him so that Adrian felt like he was passing an interview for a job. Dave didn''t look like someone strong, on the contrary, his sickish pale skin and small stature showed the opposite, but for some reason, Adrian thought he was extremely dangerous.


    "Not bad! You were able to kill a zombie, meaning that you had killed more than one before. What level have you reached?"


    Sizing him up, Dave already understood that the guy before him likely put his points into strength, but he wasn''t sure was he level 1 or level 2. He didn''t even consider level 3 since, judging that Adrian was trapped in the cafeteria all along, he wouldn''t have a chance to kill many zombies.


    "Level 2! I''ve reached it just yesterday. Now it''s my turn to ask you a question. Is there any safe ce on the campus?"


    Ignoring the question, Dave looked around the corridor as he was searching for someone. When he found no one, he finally looked at Adrian and asked him about his fellow survivor.


    "I know there are two of you. Where is the second person?"


    As Adrian was getting mad at Dave for ignoring him, he was stunned at Dave''s question. He had never told him about Sara, who was in her room, so he was caught off his guard, causing him to forget that he was ignored just a moment ago.


    "Ahh, nevermind! Do you know where a storage room is located?"


    Dave thought it wasn''t much relevant to their mission, so he decided to ignore a second survivor for time-being. Obtaining resources from storeroom was their priority, while he always could meet another one after they found a storage room.


    "You didn''t answer my question."


    Dissatisfied by Dave''s rude behaviour, Adrian insisted on getting his answer. He was stuck in a cafeteria for more than a week, surrounded by zombies and forced to kill them to obtain food in the kitchen, his mind was already close to going insane.


    Looking at his exhausted eyes and messy hair which hid behind his hairband, he seemed as he was pleading when he had asked it. He looked like he had been having a difficult time during the week.


    ''Persistent one!''


    Dave couldn''t help but answer him.


    "I doubt that there are any safe ces on the campus for now. Considering the number of zombies outside, I should say that maybe more than half of students had either died or turned into zombies, so better not to except a lot from university officials."


    Their university was quitergepared to other universities in Federation. It might be asrge as the smallest town in the world, and close to twenty thousand students was studying in their university, so, adding university staff members and considering that some students were out in a city rather than in a university, there should be less than ten thousand people alive on the campus.


    The number was also dwindling with every day, so maybe only less than five thousand would be alive in the end.


    "Then, you should have a safe ce on campus. Can you take us with us?"


    "Sure!"


    He easily agreed to Adrian''s request since it was always good to have another Enhancer in their ranks. Most of the people had likely thrown away their clubs or lost it when they were running from zombies.


    Not everybody was lucky enough to have no one around them when they fell unconscious on the ground. Some people didn''t even have time to think over their statuses as they attacked by a zombie. Obviously, Adrian was one of them.


    "If it''s all from you, then lead the way towards a storeroom."


    "Wait a bit! I''ll call Sara over here. She is an administrator of a cafeteria."


    With these words, Adrian ran towards one of the rooms in the corridor and knocked hard on the door. Even though he tried to hide it to save his pride as a senior student, he still seemed delighted to finally leave a cafeteria.


    A momentter, someone went out of the room and apprehensively looked at the surroundings. It was a woman with wavy light brown hair and business-like outfit. She seemed slightly older than students, perhaps middle-aged woman, as traces of exhaustion could also be seen from her looks.


    However, after hearing news from Adrian, she also looked delighted as she followed him to Dave. Even though she was also tired, she had never gone against zombies, not mentioning killing one, so she was much in a better shape than Adrian.


    While Adrian had gone for the fellow survivor, others were already standing next to Dave, observing situation unfolding before them. Adam didn''t get any Treasure Chest from a killed Hunter, while Reba had gotten a Basic Mana Potion from her White Chest.


    All the time, Katelyn and Rachel were looking at them in awe as the countless corpses of zombiesy on the floor. There were several points which seemed shocking for them: Reba''s elemental spirit, Adam''s magical Telekinesis and finally, Dave''s frightening strength. All of these stunned them greatly.


    As Sara saw a bunch of students before her, she was greatly disappointed since she had thought that they would be at least armed with firearms, otherwise, she didn''t see any way for students to save them.


    However, when her eyes fell on corpses of zombies lying on the ground, shepletely changed her mind as she had an urge to vomit.


    ''If a bunch of students killed so many of them, then there should be something special about them.''


    Trying to suppress her urge to vomit, she quickly made conclusions in her mind and easily identified the leader among them. Obviously, it was Dave who was standing in front of everyone.


    "You should be Sara. Can you lead us to a storeroom? You should understand that with every second, it''s gonna be more dangerous."


    Understanding what he meant, Sara led them towards the end of the corridor and pointed at an iron door. She nced at Adrian who hastily took keys from his pockets and opened the door.


    As soon as it was opened, cool air rushed out of the room, revealing stacked rows of boxes on the shelves and several bags of different products. Lots of products were stored in the room, including several types of vegetables.


    Even though there were plenty of products inside the storage room, he clearly understood that they couldn''t transport everything to their dorm, so he tasked Adam and Reba with sorting resources inside the room.
