Nate could not get the feeling off him that something big was about to happen, that was why soon after he was through with showing Bully and the others around the workshop, he went straight to Jim.
Jim had made out another area for his work while leaving the other as a training area, so right now, he wasn't at a place where they can see him.
It was another short building that was attached to the workshop building, look at it, one will know that it only has a room inside like a parking garage.
Just though not too close, Nate could already hear the serious hammering and the boiling sound of water after being deep a hot red hot iron inside.
'Thank goodness that I didn't choose to kill you back then,' Nate thought as he slowly reached out for the door.
Creak!!!
The door made a sharp sound before it was opened and Nate walked into the house to see Jim seriously crafting a weapon. It turns out that he did not notice him and Nate was not going to interrupt him, instead, he went to the side and sat down while watching Jim craft what looks like a teeth-long sword.
"Are you going to say something or just sit and watch me craft?" Jim suddenly said which amazed Nate as he stand up and walked towards Jim.
"You know I was here all those times" Nate has not been there for an hour but quite a lot of time has passed since he entered the room.
Meanwhile, upon hearing this, Jim halted what he was doing and turned around to look at Nate with a questioning look.
"I'm not normal, and you know that," he said as he carried on with what he was doing.
Meanwhile, Nate when getting near had seen some finished weapons as he took on. It was a short sword with a leather handle, they were no extra designs attached to it, but when Nate touched the weapon, he could feel the amount of energy coming out from it.
[Inspector]
[Name= No name]
[Type= Short]
[This sword is made from a meteorite stone]
'So this should be something like the alien spear or to say was made from the same elements,' Nate thought as he attended to swing the sword, but just then a hand grabbed it.
"If you swing that thing here, it will destroy my entire shop, if you want to try it out, find somewhere else," Jim said as went back to his work.
Meanwhile, Nate was left with a lot of questions after Jim said that.
"What do you mean by destroying this whole place?" Nate asked as that was the confusing part of the statement.
"That thing was made by me, it was made during the time you were still evolving," Jim explained while still doing what he was doing not even stopping.
"Once one swings the sword, it will shoot out energy from those sharp edges while cutting through anything it came in contact with. In a way, this might look like a short sword but it has the attribute of a long sword" Jim said.
Upon hearing this, Nate put the short sword back into its sheath and placed it back in the place he took from. Meanwhile, he also stole a glance at the current work Jim was doing.
"Who are you crafting this for?" He asked.
"This is a weapon that I have dreamt of crafting even before this apocalypse shit started" Jim replied.
"Uh... Can I ask you something?" Though Nate could ask the question right away and Jim the answer immediately, he just wants to act natural, bossing people around wasn't something he was used to.
"Go ahead"
"Where do you find the meteorite stones that are used in crafting those weapons?" Nate asked and once again, Jim pause his work as he reached out for the drawer of the Workbench tables.
Doing this, be brought out a stone that was shining like a beast's crystal.
Taking the off in his hand Nate holds it and wanted to use his inspector skill on it but something happened before that.
[Quest update]
[Find out where the zombies are going and looking for. In progress]
[The host is on hold of a meteorite stone, this will complete this quest if the host absorbs the stone]
[Rewards= Golden medal]
[Does the host want to absorb the stone?]
[Yes/No]
Nate's face frowned as he tried to recall this particular quest, after some time of thinking, he then recalled back when he started the game and found it strange that the zombies were heading in one direction.
'Dose this have something juicy for me? If not it won't be a golden reward,' Nate thought then he looked at Jim who has already resumed his work.
"Do you still need this stone?"
Jim was kind of annoyed that Nate was distracting him but he can't do anything about it.
He once again pulled out the drawer while showing Nate a shit of paper that has a drawing sketched out on them.
"What is this?" Nate asked.
"It's a blueprint of a sword. A sword specially meant for you, and I'm planning to use that last stone to create it" Jim explained.
Nate grabbed the blueprint paper as he try to analyze what was drawn there. But he could not understand a single thing about them because they were filled with labels on them.
It was now up to Nate whether he should absorb the stone now and forget about the sword being planned for him, or take the sword and forget about absorbing the stone. Though there was a high chance that he will find another stone and complete the quest, there is also a high chance that he might not like what the sword will look like.
In the end, Nate gave the stone back to Jim while he took the short sword and left the room.
Meanwhile, before he left, he telecommunications with Jim while instructing him.
"If by chance you happen to find another stone like this, keep it for me," Nate said as cut off the link.
When leaving the room, Nate was surprised that it was already dark outside.
'I must have spent quite some time in there and the others might be looking for me,' as Nate was still thinking about this a notification came in.
[Congratulations, Peter way has successfully evolved into an Agro zombie]
[1000exp has been granted]
'Well done Peter,' Nate thought as he was about to get more information, he could feel a link on him, it was a link from someone else.
"Nate, we have a problem, a group of enemies on our doorsteps" Lyon reported.
Upon hearing this, Nate fasted his movement, and soon he was at the workshop gate to see Lyon carrying Mark on his back.
Mark has both legs out with a few wounds on his face, meanwhile, Lyon has a missing hand, but he managed to carry Mark back to the workshop.
Seeing Lyon's conditions made Nate boil in anger, Lyon was barely able to stand on his feet, if not for the extra leg from the praying mantis, he would have been laying on the floor.
Bully and the others also came out that instant upon seeing Mark.
"What happened?" Bully asked but Mark's jaw was not in order as he was trying to explain things but they weren't understanding anything.
Meanwhile, smoking started to appear in Nate's hand as a bag filled with meat appeared. The others were shocked but this was not the time for asking questions.
Nate tossed the meat at Mark who swallowed it as a whole and soon his mouth started to heal up meanwhile Lyons body has gone back to normal with all the wounds on his body gone after eating the meat.
"It's Scarlett boss, they are back, we were caught off guard, they are currently heading towards this direction," Lyon said a little bit anxious.
''He still has the balls to come back after what you did to him last time?" Nate asked.
"They are not normal this time, they have armoured vehicles with them, and some of them seem to have a bit of super strength," Lyon said.
"Superhuman? That's interesting, I hope they are strong enough to be added to my collection" mumbled Nate as he wander off into the workshop leaving the others in a daze and questions about what he will do.
