Daniel grabbed Karl, who was kneeling, and stood him up. Karl, who tried to stop Daniel from doing so, couldn't resist. He felt as if he was a baby being carried by an adult. Karl now understood, at most, a part of Daniel's true strength.
"If you want to thank me for helping you guys, I need you to stay here and watch over Kay while she's awakening her talent, and when she does, I need you to be there for her so that the intense hunger one suffer after awakening a talent doesn't affect her."
Hearing what Daniel asked him to do, Karl couldn't help but smile, he was worried about Kay, who may be hungry after waking up, and he knew that feeling because he suffered a bit.
"Alright, I do just that, but where are you going that you need me to take care of her."
When Karl asked this, Daniel, with a mysterious smile, said.
"I will look for something that may help us find the culprit of your suffering."
Karl, who heard this, was stunned. Daniel was helping them in their revenge; not even after a day passed, he couldn't help it anymore, and a few tears started running down his eyes.
Daniel left the apartment and then headed to a hotel room, the cheapest he could find because he didn't have much money to waste on a one-day stay room.
After the hotel staff led him to his room, Daniel got into his room and then took a shower. After drying himself, he checked if he had everything he needed to go into the other world. After checking everything, he told the system.
"System [Travel] to [apocalyptic world]."
Suddenly Daniel felt as if his body and perspective were being twisted. After a few seconds of feeling like that, Daniel was in the same place he had left. He was still in the same house he hid after finding valuables.
But Daniel felt a little weird. The house was a little out of place. He didn't notice this before because he was a little overwhelmed by everything that happened after traveling through this world.
"This house is weird. Even though this is a house, there is not even a single photo, watch, or normal furniture in here."
Daniel started to check every single corner of the house. He suddenly found something weird. In one of the houses, he found a piece of metal that looks like the VR Pods in Movies, Comics, and Manga.
After getting near, he saw the center of the pod was crystal clear, and it was a window. Inside was a helmet that was connected to a wire through the pod.
Daniel decided to examine the pod in more detail after checking the pod for almost 10 minutes. Daniel found the pod connected to the wall, which looked like an outlet.
Seeing this, Daniel now confirms his hypothesis. This is a VR pod, but he isn't entirely sure because he does need to look for more information about that. But if it is like he thinks, then everything makes sense because if the VR pod is real, who would need furniture if you can have everything you want in Virtual Reality?
"If this world is so technologically advance, why does the zombie apocalypse still happen?"
Daniel felt that this question held the reason why there were no living humans in site, but there may be some alive, but he didn't know. But whatever it takes, he'll find the answer to that in the future.
"let's see if I can find something useful in this world. While I am at it, let me see if I can find a piece of tech that may help me find the culprit for Karl and Kay's suffering."
Daniel headed outside of the house. After that, he didn't know which way he should head, so deciding to use the simple way. He went to a tree, grabbed a twig from the tree, and broke it. After doing so, he put the twig straight up and let it fall. Wherever it fell, he would go.
The twig fell toward the Northwest, so Daniel decided to go Northwest.
"Um, So Northwest is it."
Having decided his destination, Daniel wrapped his arm with his blood tail making them a gauntlet for his arms. He did that for protection, also because he didn't want to feel when he blows the head of the zombies with his fist or hands.
While walking, Daniel occasionally found a few zombies, and he would blow their heads and earn points for that. Daniel kept going like this for almost three hours when he noticed the building getting bigger and closer. It was like he was now in a city.
"Am I in a city now? I have noticed that the buildings are getting closer and bigger, and the place I was before was almost like a town with houses and a few stores."
Daniel decided to keep going, and the number of zombies increased as he got going. But without any fear, he kept blowing their heads with a slap on the head or punching their face.
After walking for so long, Daniel found something that looks like a police station. Wanting to check what may be inside, Daniel enters the building. The inside was so technologically advanced.
Everything was divided into sections, and an arrow light was supposed to be on points where that place was. The inside of the building is dark, but Daniel still can see inside thanks to his enhanced vision that allows him now to see in dark places.
Reading a sign that said [Interrogation Equipment], Daniel decided to check that place out. Following the arrow for that section, Daniel finds a dark door. Next to the door is a panel that looks like an advanced palm scanner.
"If that's a palm scanner like in the movies, then I'm in trouble because I don't think I can find someone that could open it, and I don't think there is any energy in this building."
"So what do I do?."
Thinking for a while, Daniel was conflicted about what to do.
"Ahh, I don't know what to do. Think, Daniel, think. What is the most basic thing about this in the movies?"
Suddenly n idea came into Daniel's mind.
"Right, basic. It is basic in the movies that the doors slide to one side after scanning the hand or eyes."
"let's check and see if it's right."
Wanting to confirm his idea, Daniel started to watch the edges of the door intensively. He suddenly saw an aperture on the right side of the door. Seeing this, Daniel put his hands into the door and started to slide the door to the left with all his strength.
After doing this, the door started to slide to the left, and the door was finally open completely. What greeted Daniel was a bunch of technological toys that he could use.
With a smile Daniel said.
"This is heaven."
