Chapter 11 - Survival in urban area 101

The group finally left, kalel took most of the survivors with him, they were surprised by the room he made, it looked like a living room, he added some books and a cd player so they can entertain themselves. He didn't want the kids to be afraid. He had a problem when Mia tried to stay outside saying that she could help, Kalel didn't even listen to her he just throwed her inside with her useless brother and then close the gate and made a sign to leave the place to the other from the combat group. That is how Joan called them, he was the one leading all the group now, they managed to reach an agreement last night.

They left the place. They were in a kind of military scouting formation that one of the elderlies explained to them. Kalel was at the front obviously, he informed them that he had heightened senses and that he could detect danger more easily than them. The others stayed close enough to him so they all can hide quickly if they meet a too dangerous enemy.

They had almost 12 km to go before reaching the safe zone area as explained in the radio.

Sometimes they could see people watching them from their windows and hiding themselves. Kalel could now detect them with his improved hearing and sight. It was now 3 hours they were walking, they were near Barrier de Paris subway station. They didn't meet any monsters because each time Kalel heard something like a scream, a shout of agony, they immediately took a detour until he was sure it was safe.

His group needed to take a rest, they didn't have Kalel's stamina and he wanted to go on a roof so he can use more efficiently his sight.

They chose a building with a delivery door and used the universal badge that Thierry used as an amazon driver. They approached the building next to the post. It was an old high standing building, they went inside and closed the door.

They cautiously advanced in the dark building until they lit the lights.

" We should open some of the flat so we could use the washroom. They need to leave the space pocket, they're inside since this morning." Advised Kevin, the short-tempered guy to Kalel.

Kalel nodded when he heard a noise behind him.

Boum!

The door leading to the inside garden was destroyed, from the dust, a man looking shape emerged. But it wasn't a man, it was odious, the fusion between a 2m gorilla and an asshole. Kalel reacted first he opened his 2 gates and said to his companions to get inside. They all moved quickly afraid to die to this beast who didn't kill them only because it was trying to make the hole big enough to let his frame pass through it. Kalel looked around him and decided to use the surrounding against the enemy.

Kalel took the stairs, his spear in front of him. The thing was chasing him, it was destroying the stairs behind him, kalel just run away, he didn't hope to kill it in a fair fight. He was now going to the third floor, the beast was getting angrier to the running food and the fact that all the other dishes disappeared.

Crakkkk ! !

It was getting closer when suddenly what kalel hoped for happened, the stairs collapsed under the weight of the monster. It roared like a wounded animal, kalel stopped moving and looked at it. It was stuck at the waist and his torso was crossed by piece of wood. Kalel got close enough and planted his spear in his skull, it was hard and he had to do it several times before he finally killed it. Its flesh melted under his acid spear.

' You have killed a rare monster: blue ogre'

'You are now level 8'

Kalel picked the items which dropped next to his body.

'you obtained a rare equipment: shadow ring'

(shadow ring : make the user harder to detect. Effects depend on user's level.)

' you obtained a normal equipment: little shield'

(little shield: increase your defense. + 0, 1 to defense)

Kalel was startled, he didn't have this stat. the improved defense will be useless unless…. He equipped the shield on his left hand. He opened his status.

Kalel

Level: 8

Health: 1,4

Defense: 1

Intelligence: 1

Stamina: 2,4

Vitality: 3

Strength: 1,7

Agility: 1,5

Perception: 1

Unused points: 0, 2

He put the unused points in defense, and removed the shield.

Kalel

Level: 8

Health: 1,4

Defense: 1,2

Intelligence: 1

Stamina: 2,4

Vitality: 3

Strength: 1,7

Agility: 1,5

Perception: 1

Unused points: 0

It worked, you could keep the stat if you increased it manually. That was good to know he could acquire the mana stat if he got an equipment with the mana stat. He felt relieved. He decided to get down, the others must be afraid. He got down to the ground floor and opened one the flat with his spear. He then let the guys leave his space pocket.

" You are alive kalel, where is the beast ?" asked Joan urgently

.

" Yé, don't worry, I killed it. We need to eat and take a break, you have 30 minutes then I leave.'' he said succinctly.

He went to the kitchen and began to make himself some lunch with chicken salad and a coke he found in the fridge. He was hoping the electricity will stay on until he gets to the safe zone. In case the city goes dark, he will have to go steal some generators but it is a worry for another day. the others were looking at him with awe, respect and fear in their eyes. Kevin and 2 others went to the upper floor to check the body of the monster while he was finishing to eat and they described it with too much details. The children, elderly and women went outside the pocket for a few minutes to use the WC or take a shower and throw their garbage.

Mia and Anthon sat down next to him. They were looking at him like he was some kind of weird animal.

" Kalel, you should be more careful, you almost died fighting that thing. You could hide yourself with us inside your space pocket." Said Mia almost reproaching him his actions.

He stopped eating and stared at her.

" I don't know you, Mia so I don't care about what you think. Moreover, not everyone can hide, if i went inside the pocket it would have been hard to escape the Ogre so I made a gamble that I won, I killed it and I am now stronger. "

She was angry and left immediately after his answer. Anthon looked at him and left too. Kalel didn't care, he didn't have the intention to have a long-lasting relation passed their arrival to the safe zone with them. They were totally useless and Mia wasn't his style of girl. before to move, he checked his space pocjet and saw the increased in size, he allowated it to the survivor space so they can have more space.

After that, he joined Thierry at the front door. They reformed their now usual formation. They still had 7 hours of daytime before to have to stop for the night. They will move out soon.
