The group did not use the road as it lingered with monsters and zombies. The corpses of the people became zombies after being bitten by zombie dogs.
Mark's house is about a few blocks away from the Cafe. In between there is a large park. The park did not have many people, so monsters were few.
The group never encountered high-level monsters again. The vanguards, John, Mark, and Syko became level 3.
They only encounter a bunch of level 1 monsters and a few level 2 that's why they don't have an easy leveling. As a level 2, you need to hunt 20 level 1 monsters. The only level 2 lone monsters they meet can only be counted in one hand.
"We've arrived." The group hid in the bushes as they looked at the once-luxurious gate filled with barricade. A platform was created on top of the wall while men in black armed with guns, shot the incoming monsters.
The house is not just an ordinary mansion but a large one. Furthermore, it's in the middle of the city, which only indicates how rich this cuckold guy is next to them.
Le Fey and the recruit, Tina look amazed by the sight.
The mansion is in the middle of a big yard. The mansion is also huge. There are a few towers erected.
"Your men are quick-witted as always," Syko said in affirmation.
"Hahaha, Well they aren't mine but my Mother's." Mark laughed out loud. He also nodded in delight at how fast they worked.
"This could be our great fort," John said as his eyes shone.
"This guy, here, is born goldspoon-fed. Luckily he was not taught to be arrogant and haughty unlike other young master's out there." Syko looked at the girls as he patted Mark's shoulder. Mark scratches his cheeks feeling embarrassed about being praised.
"It's thanks to my mother I grew up like this. That Hag doesn't know mercy. But, she is a good mother." Mark whispered as his eyes became worried. "I hope she is okay. No, she should be fine, she doesn't know how to back down easily."
"Let's go." Mark stood up as they saw an opportunity to safely arrive at the front of the gate.
The other followed suit. There are few monsters left, so they easily defeat it.
"IT'S THE YOUNG MASTER!!!"
The guards on top of the wall shouted. Their voice filled with worry and excitement.
"OPEN THE GATE! PROTECT YOUNG MASTER!!!"
The barricaded gate opened. Multiple guards come out in a hurry armed with guns, firing at the monsters at the side to help us.
"YOUNG MASTER!!! THANK GOD, YOU'RE SAFE!" An Old man with a beard and mustache came out. He has a monocle, he looks like a butler. Well, he is a butler. The butler was looking at Mark with worry as he patted his chest in relief.
He approached Mark and stared hard. "Thank god, you are not hurt. Else, I don't know how to face madam." The old butler sighed in relief.
"Alfred, Don't worry. I'm fine. You're exaggerating. You know I have my friends." Mark waves his hand like the matter is simple and there is no need to fuss about it.
"But?" Alfred tried to say but.
"Come on, Alfred, you know my friends well. They are strong." Mark said. The group entered the gate.
As they entered the gate, gasps from the girls were heard. Le Fey did not come to Mark's house in the past as she knew something was going on there that would make her question her morality.
And she was not far from guessing. Inside the large mansion, there is a specific room its purpose is for Mark's debauchery.
Tina felt she was entering a new world. She never in her entire life have seen such a grandiose thing. In front of the gate, there was a long limousine parked horizontally, the driver opened the door.
The mansion is 2-3 miles from the front gate. So they need a car to go there.
"Alfred, what's the situation?" As they entered a limousine. Mark sat behind John and Syko, and beside Syko were Le Fey and Tina, as Natasha sat beside his boyfriend. Beside Natasha is Anne.
Alfred sat next to the driver. "Young Master, the situation is not good but everyone is doing their best. The food supplies will last for half a month before we run out. If Young Master decides to take in survivors it will plummet faster.
We have 60+ Bodyguards that are ready. 150 worker. Ranging from chores to mechanics.
We also found out that using guns can't give you EXP. We only use guns to defend the base. We sent a squad of guards to gain levels. It would be devastating if the guns were useless against high-level monsters."
Mark pondered for a bit as he didn't reply to Alfred yet. He looked at his friends as he asked them. "What do you think saving Survivors?"
"... It's not our decision to decide. You're the boss here." Syko shrugged.
"I want to hear your opinions on this matter."
"Well, there are pros and cons when it comes to saving survivors. Cons, they may become a pain in the ass. Pros, They can be a good manpower if they decide to fight with us, if not, they'll be deadweights and suck us off with our supplies." Mark voiced his opinions. "Though, the decision is yours."
"You're right." Mark nodded. "Now that the world ended, the government crumbled. Society collapsed, and there is nothing that can protect humanity but ourselves. I want to create a base that could repel monsters. I want all of you to create a strong fortress with me."
Syko slaps his shoulder. "Tsk, Stupid. What do you think of us? For Eight years we became brothers and sisters. No secret is hidden between us. No matter how fucked up it was, we accepted everything. Of course, I will go with you.
Let's create a powerful force that no one can defeat us.
We watched too many zombie movies and apocalypse movies, we know where this is going. There will be multiple group rises in power. Fighting over supplies. So let's create one that can suppress these groups."
"I agree." John nodded in agreement. He turns his head to his girlfriend, Natasha.
"Wherever you're going." Natasha leans over him.
"I'm worried about my family even if they are strict with me. But, I'm not stupid enough to not accept reality. They are either perished or survived. There is no way I could fly over to my home when this shit is going. I will join!" Le Fey said.
Anne became worried as she fidgety. "Mark, My parents."
Anne's parents threw her out after she became an adult. Anne though hated them, they were still her parents. She also has brothers and sisters.
"I'll send my men to procure them if they survive. Don't worry." Mark said lovingly his eyes looking at Anne softly.
"Thank you." Anne felt relieved.
"Alfred, If there are spare guards available send them out to find my girlfriend's family," Mark ordered Alfred.
"Yes, Young Master. I'll arrange some squads for the mission." Alfred took out a radio to call the leaders of the squads for a meeting.
Without taking a long time, they arrived in front of the big mansion. It was a three-floored modern mansion at the side of an artificial hill. It was a sight to behold. The car was parked close to the large door of the house. The driver opened the car door.
Everyone got out. What greeted them was an opened wide door, where butlers and maids lined up to the side bowing.
"Mark!" a girl's voice calls out.
"Elena." Mark opens his arms wide as the girl leaps into his embrace.
"I'm glad you're okay," Elena said with a voice filled with worry. "The girls are worried about you, most of them hem are crying in their rooms."
Looking closely at her, her eyes were slightly puffy. Indicating she was crying too. She hugged Mark tightly for half a minute before turning her head to the side.
"Oh, Syko, John, Nat, Anne! I'm also happy that you're all okay. Also some new faces... But, where are Drego, Xian, Lester, Hilda, Rose, Lisa, and Hailey?" Elena said worryingly. The group walked in as they stop by the lounge area where multiple large couches and large TV display. The group sat on couches as they keep conversing.
"Them? I hope they are alright. It's almost nighttime and we have to rest first before searching for them tomorrow." Mark said calmly. However, his eyes were also showing a hint of worry.
"I'm not worried about Drego, Xian, Hilda, and Lisa. I'm more worried about Lester, Rose, and Hailey. The former is exceptionally strong. Drego, we wouldn't have to worry about him. We know what he is capable of. It wouldn't be surprising if he tearing monster flesh alert right now, considering his bloodthirsty personality." Syko said as his eyes flashed with awe when he was talking about Drego.
"Xian may not be strong physically but he is smart. too smart that's almost frightening." Natasha added.
"Hilda, Like Drego. These two are compatible. I'm not surprised they are married." John said as he rubbed his chin.
"As for Lisa. That girl taught me how to wield a spear." Mark said while remembering the past when he got bruises all over his body. When thinking about that, his body shivered.
"The others are making me worry." Le Fey felt uneasy. "Lester and Rose these siblings are small creatures. I'm afraid they can't survive in this kind of world."
"If they are with Lisa, it's great as she will protect the two. These three lived nearby with each other. Syko, about Hailey." John said with confidence but he still felt bad. Then when it comes to the last person, they look at Syko.
"... I don't know..." At the mention of the name. Syko went silent. "I'll find her tomorrow. If she is in her apartment, I will go get her... Even if she's a corpse."
"We will go with you," John said firmly.
"No, you all should find Lester and the others. Xian, he'll be here." Syko denied him. "Fey, you should stay or go with them."
Before Fey could say something, Syko turned her down before she could open her mouth.
"We can't let you go alone," Mark said.
"Just send some of your guards to go with me. Lester and co are the top priority right now." Syko pondered for a while before making up his mind.
"Fine." Mark sighed. "For now, let's take a rest."
"Dinner is served Young Master." Alfred opened the lounge door with a bow, he said.
"Great Timing. Let's go! Let's fill out our stomach." Mark stood up as his smile widened.
In the dining hall, Mark's girlfriends waited for Mark. They jumped into his embrace with joyful expressions. Some girls also embraced Syko, these girls who were having sexual relationship with him. Mark gave Syko a thumbs up as his teeth sparkled.
