Tony could barely carry his body because he had been running for a while now.
All his body was hurting but he knew that he should not stop to rest but keep on carrying the thirteen-year-old girl on his back.
Behind him were a couple of zombies clawing after him to top it the most.
Having been running for about an hour, the sun was finally nowhere to be seen as a green moon was now in its place.
While running, Tony hit his foot on a stone on the ground and staggered.
Both he and Mini fall on the floor, while the zombies have used this opportunity to approach them.
'Is this my death, as a meal to that evil zombie ' Tony was not willing to die there, that's why that next instant, a light of confidence showed in his eye as he picked up himself as well as Mini.
"What about Daddy and the others...!"
Mini asked with slight tears in her eyes making them wet.
"Don't worry...we have to call for help and save Daddy and the others" Tony replied, meanwhile, having a thought on his mind
'Those people look normal but they are not normal at all.' he thought.
Soon, Tony found himself on a narrow highway that went straight further away.
Not wasting time, he starts to run with Mini wrapped in front of him. But running on this road did not change anything about the situation he was in right now.
The zombies were still coming after him, the only good news is that there were no zombies in front of him. This had given him enough freeway to move without worrying about the zombie appearance...
Though he now has a freeway to run with, his legs were not in good condition, not that they were injured but because they were too weak to move now.
With this, Tony was almost at the same speed as the zombies, with him barely dragging himself and Mini.
Eventually, he fell into Mini, but before then, he had twisted his body sideways so he wouldn't be falling on top of Mini.
"Uncle get up...!" Mini cried out.
"I can't, my leg won't let me," Tony muttered as his eyes closed slightly.
Just then when the zombies were getting closer, they started to hear the sound of a gunshot that was coming from their back.
Turning around, Tony could see three men dressed in homemade clothes while holding an assault rifle in their hands.
"Why give such unprofessional people a gun like that" Tony snapped it that instant and hugged Mini while rolling out on the floor.
In just a few moments they left the spot and some bullets came down on the spot.
If Tony had wasted any more time, then he or Mini's corpse would have been lying on the ground.
Tony did not stop rolling till he was sure that he had given the others a distance of ten or more meters away to avoid getting caught up in the mess.
Soon, all the zombies were lying on the floor in a pool of blood that was their own.
Not long after the three men approach Tony.
"I don't care if you leave your post, but you have to take me to her now!" Tony commanded.
*****
Soon, Tony found himself in the middle of three white-haired men with a blond-haired young blond woman who probably was in her thirties.
They were currently in a small room that could contain about five people in total comfort.
"What do you mean that you left them in the hands of the three people you found? How can you make such a stupid decision and why did you take her in the first place?" the blond-haired woman yelled.
"Common, you know no one can stand up to her puppy eye, and not even you can do that"
"But should we be talking about this now, I told you that V and Ron need our help right now" Tony replied.
"Then what about the strangers you said were with them, You know that at this time and moment, the last thing we should do is trust an outsider " the woman raked.
One of the old men walked up to her and said.
"You shouldn't be bothered with that now, we need to think of a way to get to them before it's too late Lily"
The blond-haired woman is called Lily and is Mini's mother, which means she is the wife of V.
Hearing what the old said made Lily calm down a bit, but she still looked at Tony furiously.
"You will lead the way, and they better be okay when we get there," she said before storming out of the room.
'Was it a bad idea to call back up or should I have stayed and died with Mini and the rest.'
Tony wanted to speak out but it ended up being only his thought.
Soon, some cars start to leave the base while heading in a particular direction.
*****
[Your initiator and horde had successfully killed the mutated monkey]
[Reward will be distributed to them automatically]
"Can't you at least let me see what they got?" Nate complained expecting a reply.
[The host did not contribute to the fight]
Funnily enough, the system replied.
After killing the playing mantis, Nate got the message of his reward, but it did not stop there because more came with the content saying that Peter and Lyon had successfully killed the other beast.
Having this in his mind, something came to Nate's mind that instant.
'They must be a crystal right?'
Not wasting time, though he did not know if it would walk, once again he had given Peter another other.
[Function= Get the crystal, store it in your inventory, and come to me]
Always giving orders to Peter like this makes Nate think maybe the latter would not carry it out, or even more, now that he is at a long distance from them if Peter would receive the command. But he will only know with time, because if Peter does not arrive anytime soon, then he would have to go after them instead.
Having given the other, Nate was now focused on something else.
[Host status]
[Name = Nate way]
[Age = 18]
[Race = undead]
[Class = zombie]
[Level = Noble 7]
[Exp = 210 /2000]
[Horde members = 1]
[Strength = 11]
[Agility = 11]
[Endurance = 5]
[Intelligence = 2]
[Energy = 30/120]
[HP = 15/120]
While the weapon was suckling Nate's health points, he was using his energy to change it up again for the fight, so this had brought the two attributes down.
But Nate wasn't worried about that because all it took him was to open his inventory, take out one of the steaks inside and down it all in one go.
While doing this, Nate heard running footsteps from the distance, and he pointed the spear in that direction.
But soon the people behind it came into view, and it was Peter and Lyon.
Lyon was still in his form but his form was kind of different from what Nate had seen before.
'I can see where the rewards were placed, and Peter did get my command from such a distance ' Nate thought with a happy smile on his face as he looked at how strong his mob was becoming.
'This is good...Now it is time for me to take my reward '
[Opening host reward]
