Nate has spent three days blindly following Matt around in the brain world before realizing that he can speed things up with the help of the system.
Hopefully, he thought that spending three days in the brain world also mean him spending three days in the outside world, however, just now, he was being told that he has barely stayed out for ten seconds to talk less of three days.
'Does the time stop while I'm inside the brain world or is it just that the processing of the pieces of information is fast to the extent that three days inside is equivalent to three seconds out here?' nate wondered.
As he thought of this, he now recalls back when he first meet Kai in this world, he had a somewhat occurrence like this one. Back then, Kai attempted to kill Peter, but Nate has to do something to stop Kai. But at Kai has thrust out a spear then, Nate was shown something similar to brain access, but the only difference was that it is a flashback of who kai was to him.
However, after the flashback, Nate was surprised to find out that Kai's spear was still in the position it was.
'It seems like that's is also the case here,' nate thought holding his chin for a while before snapping out. Although he still has one question in mind and that was how long can he stay in the brain access for the time outside to move for at least a minute.
"Is there any problem?" Zuni asked.
"No, not at all, just thinking of what to do next," Nate replied before walking towards the table in the centre of the house.
"I will be going to the cliff mountain cave," Nate announced.
"What?!" Max, Zuni and Cab shouted in a union.
"Why would you go up there, that place is dangerous, and you already know the whitebonez zombie mostly stay there," Zuni said.
"Well, I have a mission and going up there is the last place for the mission, and I have to complete that," Nate said.
"Although you all are now in my horde, I won't force you to come with me, after all this is a personal case for me," Nate said and started heading toward the house door.
"Wait!, before you go there, you have to know something about the cave," Zuni called Nate back.
"Not like we are not interested or curious about what's there, but there is a reason we don't go up there, not just because of the whitebonez but because of our former leader," Zuni said.
"You mean the one you guys called Sin?" Nate asked and Zuni replied with a nod. "What about him?" Nate asked further.
"Although we did not mention this though, Sin our leader is a strong man, not like I'm rating you down, but you at this moment wouldn't even be able to win him in a fight," Zuni explained.
Nate wasn't offended by what Zuni said, but rather found it amusing. 'Is he really that strong yet couldn't defend his base from the hands of the matrix,' nate thought and laughed inwardly.
"I know you might be thinking about how he lost his base to the matrix but trust me when I said this, he wouldn't have lost if Leo didn't interval and kidnap him,"
Nate knows this part might have some truths in it because if the matrix fight has to weaken his base strength first before attacking, then it means that the matrix knows they couldn't handle his head-on.
Regardless, Nate was wondering where Zuni was leading with all these speeches. "Would you go straight to the point?" Nate demanded.
"What he's trying to say is that our former leader Sin has gone up to the cliff mountain and till today, his one were to be found," Cab said.
"We don't know what happened to him, whether he's alive or dead. If he's dead, what exactly was able to kill such a person as strong as him,"
It was at this moment that Nate really understand where they were heading to. 'According to them, Sin is stronger than me, but if someone that strong died up on the cliff, that only means that whatever is up there and was capable of killing him must be able to kill me too,' Nate started to give it a thought.
'But they are still a difference between me and the Sin guy, Sin might be strong, but I'm a zombie, I wouldn't die so easily, especially against a fellow zombie,' Nate thought.
Although the others might be thinking of something else that might be the cause of Sin's disappearance, Nate strongly believes that it might be the handwork of the whitebonez.
He already knows from the footage shown by Leo that the whitebonez he killed wasn't even matured enough for those he saw in the footage.
If the system would trigger a surviving quest for him just by meeting a premature whitebonez. Nate could not imagine what will happen if he was to meet up with matured whitebonez.
"That doesn't change anything though, I'm still going up there, you guys can stay if you want," Nate finally said after some minutes of thinking and it seems like he wasn't going to quit the idea of going up to the cliff cave even after the warning from the three.
Nate was about to reach out for the door when he was stopped again. "We are going to then," Zuni said.
"What do you mean we are going, I didn't agree with that," Max disagreed.
"I'm still wondering what made Sin offer you that DNA that grants you power when they are brave people in the base," Cab lamented.
Hearing this, Max was angry though, but he know that what Cab said was nothing but a fact. Among the others, he was the only one with the potential power to fight yet he has been running away from it a couple of times, even now, Nate has made a weapon for him and yet he was scared of using them to fight. "Fine!" Max eventually agreed.
"Although I don't need much help since you guys offered it, I will not refuse," Nate said. "But first, we have to get you two a strong weapon and also some fighting experience," Nate said pointing at both Cab and Max.
"Really?" the two said as they rushed to bring a crystal for the weapons.
"No...no...no, those crystals are too weak for making a strong weapon, we share be doing it the usual way, you two will have to hunt down a beast and I have an ideal target for that,"
---
Just like that Nate was leading the three towards a direction.
"Are we not heading towards the direction you killed the whitebonez ?" Max asked slightly panicking.
"Indeed were are, but the whitebonez is not our target for today, rather is those beasts," Nate said as their target came in sight.
"A pack of a wolf...are you kidding me?" Zuni asked. Even he was afraid at this point.
"No, all you guys have to do is hold back the pack while I deal with the leader of the wolf," Nate instructed them and started running towards the wolf pack.
His presence was soon noticed by the wolf's as they all stood up and were ready to fight.
