Chereads / Humanity's last hope / Chapter 4 - Unexpected encounter.

Chapter 4 - Unexpected encounter.

After walking for a while, I put the machine gun into my storage since item box can only store monsters drops, monsters parts, pieces of equipment made by blacksmiths like my swords or the monsters equipment but can't store a kitchen knife or things made by an Alchemist like potions and scrolls.

In other words, compared to Storage skill with an infinite storage space and which can also store anything, item box is a third rate skill. That is the difference between a rarity: 1 skill (Item box) and a skill with a rarity of 5 (Storage.).

But of all the skills with a rarity of 5, I think Storage is overpowered just imagine that you can store anything with no limit. In my opinion, Storage should be at least a rarity: 9 skill but that is not how it works, the rarity of the skill is decided by the number of peoples who possess it.

I should also change my clothes. I am currently wearing normal everyday clothes a T-shirt and a jeans and it is a bit troublesome to walk while holding my sword. But fortunately, I also have my full body armor in my item box.

So to the Goddess that reincarnated me. 'GOOD JOB.'

But it is a bit weird to change my clothes in the middle of the street while surrounded by monsters, it is not like I am afraid of being attacked, NO, after all, with my current level 9 monsters with level 1 or 2 will avoid me unless there was a higher monster commanding them. But I will pass on gaining the pervert nickname in case someone saw me.

Oh, yeah, there is that dark magic.

"Dark Wall."

This magic was a defense magic and after casting it what appeared was 2 meters dimension black square so repeating the same magic three more times I was covered with a black screen around me if it was seen from outside it will appear like a black cube.

'Never thought I will use 4000 MP just to change my clothes.'

"Cancel." Since my 4 Dark Walls didn't receive any damage I needed to make them disappear myself.

And after changing my clothes I currently was wearing my black and grey full body armor with my two swords hanging around my Waist in their sheaths.

'Now I am ready after all, this armor was made using a rare metal and demon skin by a Master Blacksmith so I am pretty sure it can even withstand bullets since bullets are ineffective against level 30 or higher monsters.'

Arriving in front of the first supermarket after some time.

'Huh, it seems a group of people is locked inside. They must have been shopping when the apocalypse happened.'

But it is surprising that they were able to survive this long, after all, the huge glass doors provide a little protection and the reinforcement of these entrances would be difficult so although they have enough food to sustain your group for years, supermarkets are no good for defense. So you should only take resources then get away.

'They seem on the verge of collapsing though. But they are lucky that I chose this one first before the other three supermarkets in this neighborhood.'

Seeing that the glass was on the verge of breaking I accelerated toward their direction and with my current speed, it only took a few seconds and before the monsters could even react to my sudden appearance I kicked the back head of a zombie who was trying to break the glass smashing his head and destroying the glass. And stepping inside the supermarket, I turned around facing the beasts I immediately used magic.

"Dark bullets."

Immediately after saying that 38 dark bullets broke through the glass and penetrate the monsters' brains and continued to travel for 5 meters or so before disappearing into thin air. This was the main reason that made me broke into the supermarket before using magic or else my magic will destroy the inside of the place or even harm those guys.

Ignoring those people behind me I collect all the bodies except for the zombies' corpses, since using most of those monsters organs Alchemists can create different kinds of potions like MP recovery potions, healing potions, potions that will cure an undead bite stopping you from turning to a zombie named Anti-zombie potion, power increasing potion in a period of time depending on the quality and other different kinds of potions.

After collecting all the corpses I start checking the people inside there were exactly 23 humans and seeing their faces one after another I froze when I looked at the face of a 22 years old girl. It wasn't because of her looks, well she is certainly beautiful that is something I can guarantee. She had a slender figure which was twine-thin. Her waist was tapered. Her skin was perfect and glowing. And her hair was mercury-red and it tumbled over her shoulders. She was a high-class beauty.

But what surprised me the most was her name and job.

Name: Iyana.

Age: 22 years.

Race: Human.

Level: 1.

Job: Great Wizard.

Second job: None.

A Great Wizard and the name Iyana and her looks, there is no a doubt about it this girl is the same Iyana as the one I know. To think I would meet her in a place like this, such a lucky guy I am.

Iyana was one of the strongest humans who broke past the level 40 and she was also the leader of a strong community and we participated in a lot of fights together but our relationship was bad since she was envy from the fact that I have the greatest alchemist in my community and she was always asking how can he make so many scrolls while they were a rare drop.

In other words, she was a pain in the ass, hence, I always avoided her. But the most certain thing is that she is a unique skill holder just like me.

So unlike before, I must make sure to make her cooperate this time. Moving my eyes away from her I continued checking on the others.

'They are just normal jobs holder, well they may have higher stats or awesome skills or even a unique skill but that is something I can't know unless I have Magical Eye (Rarity: 9) skill (A skill that is a higher version of Appraisal that shows all the stats even their skills and magic.).'

But even so, I still need some blacksmiths and alchemists since we will need weapons and potions since not all monsters swords are suitable for human use. And it is not like the other jobs are bad they only need some leveling. So it will be great if I can make them join my group since the more people the better.

"Ahem. Hello there guys, my name is Ady, as you can see I am an ally and I took this armor and swords from the monsters, so don't worry about them."

"Let me sum up what's going on for you. First, humanity is under the attack of those monsters, so currently, all the city is a panicked state, so moving around the city alone is suicide.

But I can escort you to my place if you want, we have a lot of peoples and weapons and since I will be taking all the supplies here, you won't have to worry about food. But if you want to go alone I won't stop you, you can even take as much food as you can with you."

After listening to my words a teenage couple started arguing and following them others started to speak their opinions.

"Honey, we should follow this guy." Said an 18 years old boy, shamelessly calling me 'this guy' even though I just told them my name.

"I know but I am worried about my family." Answered the girl.

"Didn't you just heard him, the city must be overwhelmed by monsters by now. Honey, I am sorry but I don't think they are still alive."

Hearing the boy, the girl starts crying.

"I will go with you, my family doesn't live here anyway so I can only pray for their safety. And I even have a big truck that will help you take those foods." Said a 35 years old man.

"Yeah, we can only pray for our families safety but trying to save them is dangerous. So I will also come with you and there are more stocks in our storages rooms inside." Said a 25 years old beautiful black haired girl which was one of this supermarket employees.

But before more uproar can rise I approached one of the food shelves and said.

"Yeah, I presume your best choice to survive this apocalypse is to leave with me. But I can promise that you don't have to worry about your family since I will be touring this city and I will help any survival I can find.

And thanks for the truck man, even though we won't need it to transport those resources it will be a great help in the future."

After saying that, I put my hand on the food shelve and using my storage skill, the shelve was absorbed. I could have absorbed just the food by sending my MP like what I do to collect corpses but there is a huge difference between a monster body and a canned food size so collecting the whole shelf was easier and faster.

"This my skill it can store things, it the superior version of your item box so don't think too much about."

After hearing my explanation their confused looks disappeared and they all decided to follow me. But before I can even feel happy about it, one girl said:

"Can you give me a sword? Sorry but I need to go, I don't need food just give me one of the swords that you have taken from the monsters that you just killed."

Turning around to the one who said that it was none other than Iyana.

'Huh, it seems that I and this girl can't get along no matter what.'
