After Alex left in the morning, all women started exp grinding in the surrounding of the camp.
There were more than necessary amount of zombies here.
So, much so that everyone knew that camping here for long won't be possible.
" Sister Ivanna, there are few people approaching us from South. They are being chased by lots of zombies, " A middle aged woman respectfully informed Ivanna about approaching people and handed over a binocular.
Ivanna and Ivory were resting after another exhausting grind. Ivory was just supposed to take the last kill, as she was even weaker than Alex in physical condition before.
But now she was also at Level 5!
Ivanna nodded at the women, even though this women was old enough to be her mother. In Alex's harem her position was very beneath Ivanna.
Ivanna looked in the direction pointed.
About a mile away, a group of people was being chased by dozens of zombies.
The zombies were unable to catch up for now, because all of them were riding bicycles.
" Pretty smart of them. Bicycles are faster than zombies and also don't make sound, so the amount of zombies attracted is very low, " Ivanna mentally noted this down.
" I heard something about new survivors? " Mana who had just returned as well asked. She smiled at Ivanna and Ivory in greeting.
She especially liked Ivory very much.
There were few more women behind her, dressed completely from top to bottom, with only their eyes visible outside.
As per Alex's order anyone who hadn't reached level 10 yet, had to wear these protective clothes while fighting zombies.
No one said against Alex, because first thing being that they couldn't defy him, second, they knew that it was good for them.
" Yes. We should take them in right? " Ivanna asked, as she handed the binocular to Mana.
" I'll contact Uncle Mackman, to take over them. We just need to keep them here, " Mana nodded.
" Okay, " Ivanna replied.
Soon, all survivors reached the barricaded area.
" Please open the gate! We have weak women and children with us! " A young women in early twenties was the first to reach here.
She had short hair, sharp facial features, athletic figure and slightly tanned skin. Overall she looked very tomboyish.
If not for the significantly prominent breasts of her, Ivanna and others would have surely mistaken her for a young handsome boy.
" Stop right there. State your name and Level, " Mana said loudly with an authoritative tone.
" We're in danger! Open the gate! For God's sake... My names is Leona Yount... Level 3, " Leona was very irritated with the way she was questioned.
But, seeing non-moving attitude of two girls, she abided.
She was also more tolerant because other party was of fairer sex.
Mana ordered for the gate to be opened.
Leona didn't get in right away, as she waited for everyone to enter inside.
She was the last one to come in.
The zombies were stopped by the tall steel gate.
" We'll clear these zombies here. Don't let anyone of them move, " Mana ordered and jumped outside the gate from high ground.
Zombies were quickly attracted to her, but the first one to arrive was met with merciless slash of her axe.
Ivanna also jumped out, while few more women came for support from other gates.
Survivors on the walls, aimed their guns to provide help in any situation.
Leona watched on as the hundreds of zombies were effectively dealt with without any casualties.
This was really a real Survivors' camp!
Leona felt safe while looking at the crudely made walls by arranging cars and other junks.
In last few days, this was the first time she had ever felt this emotion which almost made her tear up.
When the apocalypse came few days ago, Leona was in her boyfriend's apartment.
The plane crash occured and her boyfriend turned into a mindless zombie.
With great difficulty she managed to kill the zombie, by using her wits and some martial proficiency.
Everything happened in just one hour!
The horrifying roars of zombies and wails of women and children could be heard by her.
But, Leona didn't go out.
She first checked her food resources and arranged some things which could barely cause defense and offense.
She tried to contact her relatives, but mostly none picked up.
That included her parents back in the countryside.
Leona was heartbroken.
She decided to stay here until situation slightly stabilizes.
She checked the internet and found out about the grim situation throughout the World.
Government of Albigion had issued Wartime Military control throughout the country. Everyone was ordered to hide where they were. Government promised rescue.
But, she knew not to hold high hopes.
She also found out some vague information about the 3d panel that appeared before her after she killed her boyfriend.
Exp bar was half filled and it showed her stats. Along with her Level, which was 0.
A day passed like this.
Next morning the real nightmare started.
A Stage 2 zombie mentioned on internet appeared in their apartment building and started breaking into people's home one by one.
Leona got this information from someone in neighborhood who called on her boyfriend's phone.
As soon as she knew this, she decided to leave the apartment.
This apartment was just on 7th floor, it won't take much time for the Zombie to get here.
After gearing herself to the tooth and while holding the kitchen knife, she left.
On her floor there were two zombies.
She had to kill them one by one.
As soon as she did so, the people in other apartments on the floor rushed towards the elevator.
Leona gritted her teeth, knowing these people just watched while she was fighting for her life, and now wanted to reap some fruits.
But, she had no time to argue, as the Stage 2 as if stimulated by sound had appeare at their floor.
Leona entered the elevator and as soon as elevator was full, she closed it, without caring for few people left behind.
She wasn't a saintess, she fought for her life, so she deserved to live.
Before elevator being closed she had caught the sight of Stage 2 zombie.
It was as big as normal adult and was holding a steel baseball bat in its hand, looking very ferocious.
After reaching ground floor, Leona did her best to stay calm.
She took her boyfriend's car and escaped from the apartment.
The radio in the car told her about the nearest military camp, which was way too far.
She checked her mobile and found out the safest place nearby. A temporary military camp in city.
She decided to go there.
In the way she saw many people trying to escape out of the city, fires were burning on the road.
The roads were blocked.
As soon as someone's car would stop, zombies would gang up upon it and would kill everyone inside.
But, Leona used satellite image to find out least packed roads. Still, the chaos was so big that right now she not only faced threat of dead but also living.
So, she stopped at a slightly safer destination.
It was a grocery store. The shop owner lived there along with his son and daughter-in-law.
Shop owner helped Leona and gave her some things to eat.
Few more people arrived at the place following Leona.
Leona didn't contact any of them, she stayed silent planning about how to escape.
The two nights went away like that.
The Government had completely fallen.
Not only Stage 3 but Stage 4 zombies had also appeared.
It was as if this was an strategic invasion.
The headquarters of the superpowers in this World were being plundered by stronger zombies.
Leona on her mobile even saw the image of the biggest undead invador in the World.
It was the Skeleton Dragon!
It's power and threat was unmeasurable!
It breathed blue fire upon the 'Essos', the richest country in the World, destroying it completely.
While, another Superpower 'The Isles of Shealor' had their islands wholly eaten by a giagantic Kraken!
In the ' Celestial Empire's ' Capital had appeared a legendary Quilin like beast.
It had turned whole Capital into the land of death. Even though it didn't attack anymore, it had become a source of terror for Eastern people.
The superpowers even tried nukes to destroy these monsters, but it was as if these monstrosities were wearing a kind of armor, rending every weapon ineffective.
Only stage 1 zombies were not immune to bullets, stage 2 zombies would die from bazooka or too many bullets.
Country levelling Nukes could kill Stage 3 while harming Stage 4.
But, for Stage 5 and above, nukes won't even scratch them.
There was also the information about levelling up!
Leona found out that everyone could level up in this World.
But, there was a limit.
No one in the world had managed to go above level 19.
It was as if there was a cap placed there, that couldn't be surpassed.
Humans were vulnerable, as they died like flies to invincible Stage 4 and above zombies.
Their Albigion country was rather well off...
Only a single Stage 4 zombie had appeared in its capital and that also was being dealt with by thousands of level 19 beings.
These were all seasoned fighters!
The Royal Family had come out of its seclusion, providing their complete support for the safety of their Kingdom.
But, everything was in chaos.
It was as if this Stage 4 undead wasn't in the realms of the mortal.
Even after using hydrogen bomb, it was only gravely injured.
At the 4th day of the apocalypse, the Prince of the Royal Family after the sacrifice of nearly 10,000 level 19 fellow countrymen, ventured into the radioactive region of Capital and killed the Stage 4 zombie.
The blurry image of him carrying the red burning Sword was etched onto every internet page of Albigion Country.
The heroes like him appeared throughout the world.
But, they were few while the number of zombies was increasing. They were appearing out of nowhere!
Leona understood some things from the information she had gathered.
Level 19 human was on an average equivalent to a Stage 2 zombie.
So, what about Stage 3? Was it equivalent to level 40?
Leona was afraid that humanity was truly doomed.
On the same day, Leona's hiding place was found by zombies.
May be their aggression had some relation to the death of Stage 4 zombie in the Capital?
They rushed in large numbers.
The parking lot was already filled with them, so Leona and others didn't have any choice but to take bicycles from the shop opposite to the grocery store.
Many died along the way, Leona didn't know where to go, except for the place she had seen on the mobile.
Some people including Shop owner's son and daughter-in-law followed Leona.
But, by the time they reached the survivor's camp, only half of them managed to live.
Leona looked at the people hugging each other for the joy of survival, while some crying over their loved one's deaths.
Leona was a smart women, now that she had safe environment, she knew what came next.
She went near some people trying to give them courage and calm them down.
" Have some water brother, " Leona heard the childish voice.
She saw a cute little girl, extending a water bottle to all survivors one by one.
" Thank you... " Leona thanked, she felt embarassed to be mistaken as a boy.
She wanted to explain but was interrupted by another girl.
" Ivory, she is a girl. " The girl smiled at her in apology.
" Oh... Sorry sister, " Little girl named Ivory also apologized awkwardly.
Leona had seen the other girl, and knew that she held much authority and strength here.
It seemed Ivory was her younger sister.
Leona decided to suck upto this girl, to have a better life here.
" Thank You Ivory, you're such a cute and nice girl, " Leona tried to touch Ivory's head.
But, was stopped by none other than Ivory, with a surprising splash of speed.
Disbelief flashed in Leona's eyes knowing that this girl was actually stronger than her!
" Only big brother Alex is allowed to touch my head, " Ivory pouted and cutely glared at Leona.
Leona was embarassed.
But, she wondered who Alex was.
" Alex? " She asked.
" He is my boyfriend, " Ivanna briefly explained with a doting smile.
Leona didn't pry much. But, she nodded with a smile and once again introduced herself.
" I'm Leona Yount. Before this happened, I was a physical fitness expert for women, " She streched out her hand in greeting.
Ivanna shook her hand, " My name is Ivanna and she is my sister Ivory. Nice to meet you. "
" You're very strong. What level have you reached Ivanna? " Leona excitedly asked.
" I just managed to level up to 15, not much, " Ivanna sighed.
" Wow! You're super strong. Can you help me with it? I want to become strong as well, " Leona requested.
If she manages to befriend this girl, then her future will be limitless!
Ivanna as soon as heard her request, looked at her with contemplation.
Leona felt embarassed,as Ivanna checked her up and down, as if examining a chicken before slaughtering it.
She might be mistaken, but she felt Ivanna's eyes lingering on her chest for more than a second.
Ivanna looked kind of jealous.
But, then she nodded perfunctorily, " I will help you, of course. "
" Thank you! " Leona cheerfully accepted.
Just then Mana came to Ivanna.
" Our work is done here. Uncle Mackman said he will send someone to take over, " She informed.
Mana's eyes then went to Leona, " You're that women huh... You sure have big tits. "
Mana's jealous eyes didn't escape Leona's gaze.
If Ivanna was small, them Mana was almost flat in chest section, their jealousy was well-placed.
Leona felt embarassed. She hasn't even joined them, but had already offended two of her superiors unintentionally.
" They just grow up... " She sighed in reply.
But, this sentence made Mana even more jealous.
I don't have it so I'm sad. You have it and you act sad? Am I joke to you??
As Mana was about to get ready to scold Leona, she was suddenly rescued.
The rescuers were two women.
One of them was beautiful and elegant, another was covering her whole body in tight black clothes.
If Leona had to compare her size with the women in black then she lost by miles and kilometers.
The beautiful and elegant women took lead to greet, " Hello, Miss Mana, Miss Ivanna and Little Miss Ivory. "
But, Mana and Ivanna just ignored her greetings, Mana coldly said, " Anna, manage these people well. "
She then turned to the women in black and held her hand, " Sister Kate, let's go. As one of our own you need to teach us some martial arts. "
Mana's tone was now very friendly as if talking to her own sister.
Anna was awkwardly left behind, as others went away.
" Damn bitches... " Anna cursed.
" Did you say something? " Mana turned around.
"N-No... I said, have a good day Miss, " Anna politely bowed.
" That's good, " Mana left alongside others, without sparing second glance at Anna.
Next, Leona and other new survivors had their names, family members, and previous jobs noted down by Anna.
She then took them inside the camp, at which's center was a well barricaded apartment building.
She found out from Anna, that this was main staying area for all survivors.
Around the apartment, hundreds of fully armored vehicles could be seen.
" If camp faces severe situation. Everyone is supposed to run here. We have enough vehicles for everyone to escape... " Anna explained few more things.
She then explained that everyone irrespective of their age and gender was expected to fight zombies and level up.
Men all nodded vigorously, while elderly, children and women looked nervous.
Leona though was eager to become stronger.
She would attentively nod to every sentence of Anna, making Anna have good feelings for her.
Anna explained about food distribution which wasn't very complicated.
Everyone in base will get basic food amount, while those who bring back resources from outside or fight on frontline will get more food.
After explaining basic things, Anna arranged apartment rooms to all people.
There were many empty apartments, but not many were cleaned.
So, Leona was arranged into an apartment with 2 other women.
Leona felt glad that she managed to escape over here somehow.
Even though living was not lavish, it was much better than outside where she didn't know when a zombie will eat her.
After taking some rest, Leona ventured out to understand the camp.
She was surprised to know that, the camp had actually changed hands just yesterday and previous tyrant leader was killed by a young boy, named Alex.
Leona remembered that Alex was supposed to be Ivanna's boyfriend.
No wonder, Anna was so respectful to Ivanna's group...
As per the women in the camp, Alex was like an angel. A living incarnation who had saved them from misery and demise.
They even had a fan club in his name here and that Anna was its President!
Fan club supposedly held very high authority here, as many women in the camp were its members. These members were all in authoritative positions.
After understanding this, Leona joined in, just to get more information.
But, was pleasantly surprised to be assigned to a group.
This group consisted of all females who wanted to fight zombies and become strong.
Leona's staying place was reassigned to this group, and its staying conditions were visibly better.
Their work was going to be assigned from tomorrow.
* * * *
Meanwhile, after working hard for whole day Mana, Ivory and Ivanna separated from Kate.
Kate didn't say anything about being Alex's women, but after getting to know friendly Mana and Ivanna and very cute Ivory, she felt very close to them.
She wasn't jealous of Alex having more women, because for her these were the first friends she had ever made in her whole life.
They didn't laugh at her hoarse voice, neither they were disgusted by her burns.
Kate didn't show it, but she was actually moved to tears.
Mana, Ivanna and Ivory returned to the Penthouse. Their body sweaty and uncomfortable.
" Are we taking bath together? " Ivory innocently asked.
Ivanna feeling embarassed, looked at Mana.
While being loved by Alex, she and Mana had known each other very 'deeply'.
Alex really liked seeing his girls play with each others, so all his girls were very close.
Seeing each other naked and kissing each other was just a normal thing for them.
" Why are you feeling embarrassed? " Mana smiled, as she hugged Ivanna and pulled her inside the bathroom.
Ivory not wanting to be left alone followed them quickly.
