USA, City A, Supermarket, 20 hours after the apocalypse.
"Level 8 huh? I wonder what will happen when it reaches level 10 ... ah yes, it adds 1 point to agility, 1 point to spirit and 2 points to vitality"
After finishing the "cleaning" inside the supermarket, Axel went straight to the vehicle where the girls were.
"Okay, girls, you can get out," Axel said as he tapped the window of the car.
"Something new?" Chloe asked as she approached him.
"* Sigh ~ *, yes, of course I have news, bad news indeed" Axel said with a helpless smile.
"What happened?" Ashala asked next to him.
"Well, I found a new type of zombie, apparently these bastards are evolving quite fast, the one I found was a type of zombie based on agility, the worst thing is that it was level 12, and as you can imagine its speed was quite fast if you compare him with humans of his same level "Axel explained while looking at them.
"Does that mean, if I confronted him, would I most likely die?"
Hearing Ashala's question, Axel could only nod with a serious look.
"That's right, that's why I said it was bad news, the zombies are becoming too dangerous, I will need them to increase their level faster, of course in this case I will have to support them, that way it will be easier"
"Okay, we can increase our level while looking for our relatives, for now let's all get as many resources as we can" Zhang Jingwei spoke as he started to walk towards the supermarket.
They all nodded as they followed her.
After about 1 hour, they had finished carrying all the supplies that could fit inside the vehicle.
"Alright let's go to Shana's house to drop off the supplies, then go to level up you guys" Axel said as he sat down.
"It seems good!" They answered all.
5 hours later ~
Currently Axel had just cut the legs of a zombie with his sword, he was leaving the zombies as defenseless as he could, to let his girls kill them without problems.
"Alright girls, it's enough let's go home"
Axel said as he watched Zhang Jingqiao kill the last zombie.
"Aren't we going to find your relatives?" Ashala asked confused.
"Ah, as for that, actually I have planned to travel alone, if we all go together, we will be too big a group and also our vehicle can no longer support more people" Axel replied.
"Are you sure, wouldn't it be too dangerous to go alone?" Zhang Jingqiao said with concern.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine, now let's go back so I can go find them" Axel reassured her as he walked to the vehicle.
Nodding, the girls followed him.
~
After arriving at Shana's house and saying goodbye to the girls, Axel was walking through the streets of the city, trying to locate himself so that he could go to his house.
Although there is probably no one inside, but at least it is a good place to start looking.
As Axel walked aimlessly, he could suddenly hear the sound of broken glass and knocks, apparently someone or something was fighting.
Running and heading towards the place where the noise was heard, Axel quickly came close to the scene.
Ducking and hiding with the help of his surroundings, Axel could see what was causing all the fuss.
It was a small group of people, 4 to be exact, 3 men and 1 woman, although Axel at first thought that the woman was some kind of toy for the 3 men, he soon realized how wrong he was, it actually seemed to be the leader of the group and in fact she was the one that was doing the most damage to the ... great zombie ?. This is how the zombie they were fighting was large, it seemed to be about a little more than 2 meters tall, grayish skin typical of a zombie, bulging muscles and quite large claws.
[Zombie L1 Level 13: Infected evolved from force type. He has impressive strength, as well as great defense mainly due to his large muscles. Ability Viral infection, infection can turn life forms into infected beings.]
"A strength-type zombie huh? ... hehe, it's funny to see a zombie that muscular, compared to the 'little rat' I came across earlier, this one seems to be a bit more intimidating and his strength should be around 30 points, which is enough to turn a human into a meat pulp." Axel said as he analyzed the new zombie he had found.
"Well, at this rate this group will turn into zombie food, if it weren't for how slow this new zombie is, I'm sure they would have died a long time ago, plus they're just scratching him due to his high defense".
"And of course I can't let such beauty get out of my hands hehehe ... * Cough * well let's stop fooling around and give them a hand"
Getting up and out of his hiding place, Axel calmly walked towards the group.
Taking out "Stinger III" and setting her up for her impending debut at last, Axel spoke. "Well my little one, it's time to play the role of the hero saving the damsel and win her heart with my incredible seduction skills ... which of course I don't have, but my eyes will take care of that."
Aiming and obviously firing, the barrel of "Stinger III" roared ... and well, the poor zombie's head evidently turned to zombie shit.
[Congratulations on reaching level 9, you received 4 SP!]
"Shit!"
"What the hell was that!?"
"Aaaahh! They are going to kill us all!"
Placing the 4 points earned in vitality and ignoring the screams of the 3 men, Axel whistled seeing the true power of his weapon.
"Well if this thing can destroy tanks, then why couldn't it destroy heads, I guess it was obvious." Finishing the obvious, Axel looked up at the beauty he had caused such a fuss about.
She seemed to be Japanese ... that's right, we'll have another Japanese woman in the harem, haha ... she was around 1.80m tall and looked to be about 27 years old, she had big, milky breasts the size of a melon ... there many melons and watermelons in this novel, sorry about that ... along with beautiful, silky orange hair and sepia green eyes, which gave her a somewhat exotic but charming appearance and of course as expected of a busty woman, She had fantastic buttocks and plump thighs that anyone would like to bite and savor, unfortunately this beautiful body was hidden in a beautiful jet black yukata with small golden details, which actually made her look even hotter.
Approaching the beauty of her, ignoring the men who were trying to steal her loot that fell from the zombie, since he was going to take care of them later, Axel finally reached her.
"Hi!, I'm Axel, I hope and you haven't got hurt" Axel said as he looked into her eyes with a smile.
"Hmm, I'm Shimazu Mina, thanks for helping us kill that zombie" he replied with a serene look and a little full of vigilance.
'Eh ... I see you don't trust me, I guess it's obvious.'
"Well, what were they doing around here, looking for supplies or something?" Axel asked.
"No, I was actually looking for a person"
"Emm, if I may ask, what is the person you are looking for?"
After looking intensely into his eyes for a brief moment, Shimazu Mina seemed to calm down and replied "She has long jet black hair and has orange eyes, and although I am ashamed to say her body is very similar to mine, she studied in Rockford University and like me she is Japanese."
"Eh ... is that girl named Sakura Shiroyuki by any chance?"
Watching her eyes light up, Axel knew she had hit the mark.
"Yes! Her name is Sakura, do you know where she is or something about her !?" Shimazu Mina said as she took him by the shoulders and shook him with an excited look.
"Hey yeah, she's staying with my group in our shelter, we're actually very good 'friends', can I ask what you are to her?"
"We trained in the same dojo and learned sword arts together since we were little, she is like a little sister to me, so she was worried if she had happened to him"
"I see"
"You say she's with your group, right? Could you take me with her? I need to see her" Shimazu Mina asked hopefully.
"Yes, I have no problem, but what about her with your friends? Will we take them with us?"
Looking at the men who were with her, Shimazu Mina shook her head "No, I actually ran into them while looking for Sakura, they had been following me, but we had to work together thanks to that zombie you killed, and in fact she didn't trust in them, much less after knowing that they were following me"
"I see then let's go, I'll take you to sakura"
Axel said as he started to walk away.
Shimazu Mina nodded and started to follow him.
"Huh, wait, where do you think you're going?"
"Yes! Are you planning to leave us here?"
Axel turned to look at the men, walked towards them and snatched the skill book that the zombie had dropped, then returned to his path.
"If you dare to follow us, I will blow your heads off all three of you."
Those were Axel's last words as he left with a happy Shimazu Mina.
