Sitting down, resting against the only lamppost still standing at the crossing, Hans went through the Black watch. Till now there were no changes within in the menus since the first day it really bugged him, because all those grayed out symbols were screaming to be used.
‚Nothing I can do.'
Hans resigned to his fate of inaction. Sitting there looking up into the stary sky. Every star a little sun in his night vision.
———————
Surprisingly they still got together in a quarter of an hour. In the end there were 32 people.
Thinking back that here should be 1000, it is despairing.
Standing up Hans took the torch and threw it up in the air.
However else then the people thought he didn't just throw it behind him. He threw it with a fling of his arm meters on meters in the air.
5 Meter
10 Meter
15 Meter
It flew some time more but it was to far to make an accurate judgment.
The people weren't awed, they weren't frightened. They just knew change happened. Those who thought ahead knew that not only the world changed but they too.
Hans stepped forward into their light, as he threw his away.
„Hello!
My name is Hans. I'm from the south of Munich. I'm wandering to Rosenheim right now and coming through here I met your two sentries.
I'm doing this because i noticed you seemed to have gotten the wrong impression of the apocalypse. In Munich we already had the general consent that those things are called abnormals, because even though they aren't like us anymore they didn't change that much.
Because by defeating and consuming humans or beasts they grow.
The beast you already seem that not important if herbivores or carnivores now they are just like the abnormals. Endless hunger to grow stronger.
That they didn't proactively attacked you was caused by a bigger threat south from here. Some kind of alpha beast must be calling and controlling them. In Munich I regularly fought squirrels and those are already really deadly. They are like a suicide squat all jumping at you and if they jump into the Blade.
Think about what a cow could do.
However we who survived that fateful night are equal. If we defeat abnormals there are crystals in their brains.
You all noticed that watch on your wrist. You can sell to it beast cores as you can't eat those. You can then by those crystals and eat them."
The crowd was getting noisy it was just to far fetched for them to crazy to be a well planned system.
„You all remember that massage?
Survive, Grow, Evolve!
I did that I survived the onslaught of abnormals storming the streets. I ate those crystals and a Tipp for you if your stats reach 4.0 across all stats then you will evolve and that I did.
I can hear everyone of you who is talking to their neighbors ridiculing me.
I say to you come here try to beat me in arm wrestling. 2 vs me at the same time.
If you still don't want to believe me ok. I'm going to travel on, in 30 minutes. I have a place to reach.
Bye!"
———————————
‚It was funny to watch. But dam was I scared when those to muscle boys came. It was close at the start but in the end the second one couldn't use he full strength. Arm wrestling is build as a 1 vs 1 sport. 1 vs 2 means that I have to fight maybe 180% of the enemy's strength and not their full combined strength.
Cause I'm pretty sure they have both around 1.1 - 1.2 in strength.
The others were just pure comedy gold. How many made a fool of themselves even after they saw many fail.
Proclaiming they beat me solo.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Those faces!
Hahaha‚

Hans was now at the 55 km mark. Looking ahead you could see the outer districts of Rosenheim. Hans plan for the rest of night was to clear 3 of the districts. Each holding around 1k people. He didn't want to meet more. That group was already enough for him.
It just felt right to clear their misunderstandings. They were all together survivor now.
However he can't do it to often. He liked being social but not like a leader. He was a lone fighter. He liked coming home and having friends and family.
Just fighting.
That he had to do solo.
————————————
It was 7 am.
He had cleared the 3 outmost districts. He „found" 70 in one district 130 in the second. The third on the other side was one of those were a leader was created that lead the survivor together.
From what Hand could see there should be 500 survivors.
„Over all 700 out of 3000
That's 23,33%"
„Noted down!"
Hans leaned against a wall writing into his notebook.
He was now in a house in the outermost district not the middle one.
As the group in the third district had cleared theirs and was expanding he didn't want them to find him to soon. At least not before the evening.
Flipping a few pages Hans wrote down:
„Plan for tomorrow:
1. circumventing the group
2. Reaching in deeper and spying for 3 Tier abnormals => if found activate boost => run
3. If not settle down clear 1 block silently no commotion or suspicion!
