It didn't take long until Astrick was on the bridge as people were running away from the zombies , he was running towards them, those who saw thought he was crazy or just ignored and kept running for their lives...
The elf mother and daughter duo were now on the ground as the mother was trying to protect her daughter with her own body , while the zombie jumped on them with the intention of eating them both.
But before he was able to reach them a boy with purple eyes side punched him directly in his face sending him flying to side hitting the side bars of the road..
The Zombie's head was half smashed but it was not dead yet it tried to get and get a hold of its body , while doing so Astrick started shouting at the surprised and astonished mother
"What the hell are you watching ? runnn!!"
Even if Astrick was stronger than normal people and zombies in this world , in front of hundreds of them , his strength is useless as he doesn't have an endless endurance or defense...
Other than that there's the fact that Astrick noticed that those 'zombies' are so dangerous as one scratch is all it takes for a person to be dead, or undead...
It Is Worth mentioning that in Astrick's world the term zombie or many famous terms from earth do not exist , which is due to the fact that people don't need virtual entertainment as they already have it in real life , so they never thought of making a movie or a video game..
Even though they didn't understand what was happening or why Astrick helped them, the mother and daughter didn't waste the chance given to them and although they were exhausted they got up on their feet and started running again, Astrick was also running behind them, although he was slower than usual .
Which Was because he was holding off the zombies that were catching up to them , as he was running , Astrick felt they were too slow and weren't going to make it , so he ran quickly to the mother and daughter's side and held them both on his shoulder like potato bags and did something unthinkable ....
He went to the side of the road and jumped off to the river below the bridge , the reason why nobody has thought of doing this was because of the height , the height was about 80 feet , which means even if you survive the jump you'd still be injured badly .
But of course Astrick having a much stronger body than normal humans wasn't afraid of that height as he jumped , he held the mother and daughter in a way where he'd get most of the damage while they would get the least.
Although some zombies followed them down , it was a number Astrick could deal with , as the rest continued to follow the other survivors.
Swimming with the mother-daughter duo , Astrick finally reached the land under the bridge where there was little to no zombies , now that he wasn't rushed by anything he could observe the two more carefully as they were doing the same thing .
Afterall Although he saved their life , they were still suspicious about this strong boy that appeared out of nowhere just to help them.
Seeing the look on their faces Astrick explained ,
" Don't worry , I only helped you because your daughter reminds me of someone i know "
But that made them even more suspicious , as they were like
' Are you kidding? This is the freaking apocalypse and you just risked your life to help someone just because they remind of someone you know ?'
Of course they didn't say that out loud but Astrick could read it from the look on their faces .
" I Had the power to do so i did it , and i did it because i wanted to , there are no hidden agendas or anything like that" Astrick said but then he thought of something as he continued,
" Well , maybe you can help me with something as a thanking for saving your ass"
What he said paired with the expression on his face gave them the wrong idea as they both covered their chests with their hands while looking at him as he's some kind of pervert.
Seeing that Astrick's face turned completely red as he realized how bad what he said sounds , and he immediately explained ,
"Information , i need information , and what are covering your chest for , it's as flat as my house floor"
Hearing Astrick's words they both gave him a glare that gave him goosebumps.
After a few seconds of awkward silence , the mother broke the stress in the air as she said
" What do want to know?"
Hearing what he wanted to hear , Astrick's face shined as he replied,
" Well , before that how about we start by introducing ourselves , My name is Astrick Iolanthe, I'm 14 , you guys???"
The Mother had a surprised look on her face when Astrick mentioned his age , but then she started introducing herself and her daughter as well,
" My name is Isabella and this is my daughter Ava , I'm 28 and she's 13 years old..."
"Wait Wait wait , yo.. you're 13? doesn't that mean you're just one year younger than me ? but how ? you look like you're 9 or even 8 just like my little sister "
Astrick couldn't believe that this little girl was almost his age as she looked as old as his little sister Clara , she looked like a little child...
Ava said with a frown on her face ,
" I'm not a child, I'm really 13 and I'll turn 14 in 7 months..."
Ava seemed very upset and it looked like age was a sensitive subject to her..
Astrick tried to change the conversation as he started asking what he really wants to know ...
"Anyway , Can you guys tell me everything that happened to you today since you woke up until i found you on that bridge.."
Hearing his question , the mother had a dark look on her face before she started to tell him what happened.
