Adam and company returned to the mall.
Also, the team composed of 6 members hurriedly settled the truck and started loading all the supplies. Normally, having only few people will take a very long time to load all the goods but as they have the inexhaustible skeletons with them, their work become faster and easier.
Adam, along with Jaya and Arthus even strolled around the mall for the last time and even made a copy of random things that may be needed in the future.
Even some furnitures didn't escape their hands, especially Jaya who is a maid with a certain quirk for beautiful things.
Seeing the beautiful and elegant glass sculptures, vases and others, she also asked her master to made a copy for her to use later.
As an amiable and loving boss, of course Adam agreed to her request.
What to sweat? It only take seconds to make a copy. Just let the girl be happy while following him.
" Master.. uhmm.. I lack some ointment and other things for massages. Could you also make a copy? "
Massages? Ointment? Of course we need to have a copy!
The perks of having a maid is already showing. If I don't take this opportunity, he will be a pig.
So Adam brought Jaya and Arthus to get some necessary things for his future leisurely and blissful life.
Massage Oil..
Towels..
cream..
scented candles..
ooh! There are massage chairs too.
Too bad there are no electricity. But let's make a copy anyway.
' Ahh... Just imagining it is already beautiful. How will it be if in person? ' Adam can't wait to experience the life he missed.
Jaya is also very happy seeing the new things that she can use.
The twelve demonic maids of the Palace have distinct specialization. Aside from being a maid, she is also the personal masseuse of the Royal Family in her memories.
Although what she remember is foggy and fragmented, she still retains her skill in this aspect.
The summons are modified by the system. The timeline that they had existed may not even coincide with the plane where Adam is.
Therefore, to serve the [ lord ] without being distracted, some of their memories are sealed and the method to unseal it will not be known even in the near future.
The trio ransacked anything that they find interesting. Of course, the mildest one is Arthus who only followed to protect the [ lord ] as he held Bumblebee.
As for Gil and others who acted as the porters and gathering group, after an hour of loading the goods was finally done.
They then called Adam as they are ready to depart the mall and head directly to the base.
The City B needed 7 days of travel just to return to Pandora that is located at the northern region.
Adam had agreed to Gil's invitation to return to Pandora before that's why they will also leave the City.
Adam didn't have any attachment to City B at all and can't even wait to start travelling and say goodbye to this broken place. He didn't experience this also in his last life so he must grab the opportunity to do so.
Gil and others also took the time to retrieve their van hidden somewhere and brought it back to the mall too.
After making sure that everything was done, Jackson started the engine and immediately drove off.

...
Somewhere outside City B, two figures can be seen entering the City.
The two are the pair of variant zombie tank Eskelon and the former master of City B, the variant metal controller zombie.
The mission of the two is to capture Adam and bring her back to their mistress.
Unfortunately for this pair, they have no idea that Adam is already driving off towards the opposite direction leading North.
*Growl*
The variant metal controller zombie made a low hoarse sound indicating to Eskelon that they finally reached the City.
Eskelon on the other hand didn't have any reaction to this. His sole purpose is to serve the mistress and he only need to follow the orders.
Reaching this city didn't affect his mood at all.
He just continued to walk while having small gravels bounce off the ground in every step. This indicate just how heavy this 3 meter block of stone is.
The variant metal controller zombie can only follow the step of Eskelon and can't show the dissatisfaction inside from being ignored.
The two went around City only to find not even the shadow of Adam or his skeletons. They only saw the piled up flesh of zombies on the streets. Even the destruction of some buildings are can be found but there are no trace of humans at all.
* Grooaar!!! *
Eskelon gave an angry roar and gave his partner a deadly stare. He is very dissatisfied with the metal controller for it feels like he was playing with him.
There is no handsome brat here at all!
The other zombies with the lowest intellect who heard Eskelon's roar even went far away from the place due to the sense of danger.
As for the variant metal controller zombie, he can only cower as he faced Eskelon's anger.
...
...
At another side of the City, another convoy of modified car consisting of 20 figures are can be seen entering City B.
They are all dressed in white with a middle aged man as the leader. He is wearing something like what a priest will wear during mass and an inconspicuous word Espoir Church is written on it.
That's right, these people came from the one of the largest force of Barhan Country, the Espoir Church, the self proclaimed hope of humanity, the future.
" Priest Anthony, this city is called City B. Being part of the fallen land, there is a big chance that a lot of supplies can still be looted from here. The other major forces haven't made any move yet for the southern region and it is expected that our Espoir Church are the first to enjoy the loots. " said a man holding a map on his hand.
Priest Anthony, is one of the main force of one of the branched base of the Espoir Church. Unlike the other forces, every bases under the Church don't have names for their base to show that they are united.
Anthony is also one of the luckiest person of the apocalypse being able to become an awakened. Right now, he is a powerful tier 3 awakened. His ' legacy ' is only a low level one called ' The Knight of Siran ' and judging from the title, without a name, the legacy came from an unknown figure and have no powerful background.
But compared to normal people, this legacy is already pretty high end and can evoke people's envy.
" Mark all the location that may have a stock of foods and other necessities. We will prioritized these and go back immediately to the base. "
The group are mostly composed of evolutionary so they are very confident of their strength to be rampant in the zombie infested city.
They are the hope of humanity. How can they be afraid of some low level zombies? Even if they met a powerful variant zombie, their leader Priest Anthony is a tier 3 awakened.
Even if this is the southern region they are not afraid.
Not to mention that the place is only at the periphery of the south. Therefore, these group of people believe that there will not be any too powerful zombie in the city.
At most, one tier 3 can be present inside. And the strength of the team is not weak, dealing with tier 3 will not pose any problem for them at all.
" There is a mall near the center of the City Priest Anthony. Its better if we check this one first. "
Priest Anthony only nod his head and let the man with the map to lead the way.
The convoy then drove along the main road and follow the direction towards the mall. Along their way, lots of abandoned cars are blocking the road and the group needs to removed it from time to time. Also, zombies are beginning to notice the group.
Even though the group are arrogant, they are not stupid.
Being besiege by thousands of zombies, even if they are powerful, the number itself can still crush them.
So, they look for a safe place, probably a building to serve as their temporary camp and make some simple barriers to block the zombies.
The people of Espoir Church found a sports complex and barricaded it. They then continued to set up the camp and clean up the wandering zombies around the area.
Settling everything for awhile, the group of priest and " hopes " then gathered and started formulating their course of action.
" Priest Anthony, everything is ready. Should we start planning how to gather the supplies now? "
Priest Anthony with a complacent look only smiled a little and contemptuously said to the man. " Gather everyone and wait for my instructions. I don't need you weaklings to tell me what to do. "
The man who asked the question can only bow his head in shame and dare not refute the leader.
" Yes, Priest Anthony. "
After saying this, the man can only turn away and let the team gather.
This scene is pretty common is Espoir Church. They adhere that the weak can only bow to the strong. And in the times of apocalypse, the beliefs even become stronger.
Unbeknown to the group, a pair of monsters is actually eyeing these people as prey at the moment. The gleam of red eyes from two unknown creatures looking very hungry had set their eyes to the flesh of the poor humans who boldly enters the city.
