Gil and his team ran towards Adam while constantly defending against the onslaught of zombies who are trying to have a bite of the delicious flesh that they crave. With Gil's strength, the zombies are being pushed back but as more zombies are gathering, they find it hard to defend from the attack.
Snarling zombies are baring their sharp teeth that had evolved during zombification and waving their dark sharp claws to incapacitate the foods who are trying to escape.
The ordinary zombies have poor agility but their strength is stronger than a normal person. Their grips are very strong that even an adult man can't pry out of it easily, couple with their unfeeling body, anyone captured by a zombie will likely die.
As the team was running, a window from the second floor of a building suddenly shattered, letting tens of zombies to fall blocking their way. Sharp glasses scattered on the ground and these zombie not minding the pain, stood up one by one growling and snarling towards their prey.
Seeing the number of zombies in front and the slowly gathering zombies at their back, Gil had cold sweat dripping on his forehead. He tried to scan the area for another way but sad to say there are none. Their only choice is to go inside a building but that would be a suicide. Letting this zombie to flood them inside is just prolonging death.
A zombie tried to attack one of the woman on the team, but was easily repelled only to be overwhelmed by other zombies coming towards her. Seeing that death is imminent, the woman only sigh and find it logical that a woman like her who didn't evolve will normally die in the apocalypse. The woman accepted her fate and close her eyes. She don't want to see her body being torn to pieces by these flesh-eating monsters. No matter the pain, she will close her eyes tightly and avoid seeing her condition before her death. That would be the only consolation to her before her death.
But the pain didn't come, the rotten hands haven't touched, but the woman continued to close her eyes not even wondering where the zombies had gone.
Before the woman falls in the hands of the zombies, Adam who noticed the team of survivors coming towards. He was really happy and shouted inside, ' Humans exist! ha ha ha'. Seeing that the team is in danger Adam made his move.
" Save them. " After saying these words, 10 tier 3 abyss silver skeletons armed with their shovels sprint towards the team. Their shiny frame and blue soul fire clad from thin dark mist from their bodies looks awe-inspiring as they dash towards the team.
The skeletons immediately reach the team and surrounded them in a protective circle. The speed and strength of tier 3 evolutionary is not what these normal humans and a tier 1 evolutionary can imagine. They only felt the gust of wind coming towards them and the skeletons are already standing looking like trying to protect them.
Gil and the rest, except for the woman who had closed her eyes, froze in place as they stand close to the skeletons. The aura of these beautiful bones are so unbearable for them and they even began to tremble on their knees.
After securing the encirclements of the survivors, 3 of the silver skeletons sprang into action, slamming their shovels on the head of the zombies. Each swing will burst a zombie's head bringing dark blood and brain matter flying on the air. The skeletons continuously swing their boney arms in a speed whch was supposed to be impossible judging from their build. But as a creature from the Abyss, these skeletons break common knowledge. Their speed is fast, their attacks are decisive and their strength is monstrous. In just a few moments, hundreds of zombies where left on the ground showering from their own flesh and blood.
After seeing that there are no more zombies attacking, skeletons only glance at the team with their terrifying blue soul fire eyes. These gazes were done in casual but to Gil and his team, this moment was like they were thrown to hell and was forced to see the God of Death.
After checking that the team of survivors were fine, the skeletons march towards their [ lord ], wanting to be praised by the job they had done. Adam really like to compliment his skeleton uncles. They were his first companion in this world, except for the system ( who loves him so much ), therefore he must not be stingy in praising them. With this, his skeleton uncles would surely protect him more and his life will be safe because he had a solid thigh to hold.
Reaching Adam, the ten skeletons knelt and even their soul fire is brighter than usual. If they can talk they would surely say " [ Lord ], in this task I did the most beautiful job. Please praise me." This is especially so for the 3 skeleton warriors who bashed those zombies. Fortunately, even though Adam didn't understand their actions, he still had the conscience of the little brother and boot lick his uncles.
" You guys were really powerful back there! There isn't even a single zombies who can pass through your defense. And when you three bashed their head into pieces, it is very manly. You uncles is really what a man should strive for!" Adam said with enthusiasm making the zombies rattle their teeth forming a rapid sound. This is how the skeletons show their feelings to their [ lord ]. How great it is to be praised by his majesty. They had already reached the epitome of skeleton life.
It is a good thing that Gil and his team were quiet far away and didn't hear Adam's bootlicking skill. If they do, Adam's image would be in ruins.
They only saw a smiling teen towards the skeletons and can't hear what he is saying. Even Gil who is an evolutionary didn't have enhanced hearing because this ability only belongs to some special evolutionary. Unfortunately he is not one of those.
They then tried to let the woman who resigned to her fate and is waiting for the zombies to tear her flesh to open her eyes and accept the fact that it's not her due date yet.
The woman can't believe that she escaped her death and watch the skeletons in complicated expressions.
" The kid had the consciousness to save us. Maybe we can really form a cooperative relationship with him. " Gil said to the team.
" Let's try to talk to him. " Jackson said in a serious tone.
He and his team then slowly walks towards Adam and their expressions are really awkward. They looks like beggars who have been drenched in blood and the boy is like a prince directly out of a picture book. The last time they saw it, the boy only have torn clothes for himself. Now, he even have a dark cloak on his body making him look like a prince of darkness.
They don't know how the conversation would result to and being surrounded by skeletons like this is not a very pleasant feeling for them.
