As they came closer, I recognized them. They were the three men that were fucking with Jess. Shortly after noticing them a large group of ghouls and zombies appeared behind them.
From the looks of it the three men were unharmed just scarred running for their lives. As they noticed us, they ran straight to us screaming for help.
"Shut you traps! Screaming will lure more of them." I spoke to them. "Hide somewhere and be quiet!"
One of them didn't like my tone so he was going to scream something back to me. "You brat ….."
He didn't manage to speak any further since I quickly ran to him and punched him in the face. He passed out from the surprise attack.
"Any other useless chatter? Or you two are going to listen?"
They nodded without word.
"Drag this guy somewhere safe. I will have some questions for you once I take care of that!" I pointed to horde of ghouls of zombies numbering around 80 to 100.
"Sheela make sure our three guests sit tight on one place before I get to chat with them, Karla let's get to the fun part of the day."
"You said it Vic!" She spoke with a smile on her face. Since she got her class, she was enjoying thrashing ghouls and zombies very much.
We both prepared and when the small horde was relatively close Karla popped her enrage and ran into them chopping them up 5-6 with each swing. I ran in and quickly started doing work. I was able to kill just one in one stab with a rapier but I was stabbing much faster than Karla was swinging. So, my killing speed was still slightly higher. Even without Sheela.
Horde disappeared within few minutes. There were just normal ghouls and zombies, no special ones.
Once that was done, we went to speak with the three new arrivals.
"So can you explain why did you dragged that horde to us?"
"Apologies, we had no choice in the matter, bar where we were barricaded was raided, so we ran out of there. As we were running from those things that raided the bar we ran into that horde."
"Bar was raided? By what? What about others?"
"Yes, something raided the bar, it was big green men with axes and huge swords. They had teeth sticking out of their mouths. They were killing all men and taking all women. We hid and ran for our lives once they dragged all the women away."
As he spoke this, I heard Brook from behind of me. "Jess, NO!"
"Did they take Jessica?" I asked.
"Ahh you are that boy she ran after when we were having fuck session. Don't know what you did to her but she was refusing to fuck with anybody after that. They took her yes!"
"Where they were taking the women?" I asked.
"Towards the soccer stadium."
"We need to save them!" Karla spoke.
"Please save Jessica, Vic please! I know she is a bitch that hurt you, but please save her!" Brook spoke while crying and falling down to her knees.
"We will save them Karla no worries. I don't even want to think what they are planning to do with those women. But first we need to get all of you back to cafeteria. Get to formation and ready to march. As for you clowns, do what you want. You can either fend for yourself or come to cafeteria. But I can't guarantee you if they will take you in, it depends on people leading it in there."
"You are not a leader? And you are this strong."
"Those two are the strongest in there, but they actually prefer fucking with each other and killing monsters to leading the group so they help fight but not lead. Do you have something against that?" Brook answered while glaring at the three. Visibly recovered a little when she heard I am not planning to leave Jess in the hands of those green freaks, but visibly pissed at three stooges here.
"No. Not at all!" One of them quickly answered.
"Ok let's go, you can berate them once we are at the safer place Brook."
"Sorry Vic. And thank you Vic."
Everybody got quickly in formation and we proceeded as fast as possible to the cafeteria. Three stooges also went with us and silently walked alongside the group. They knew that at least few persons here didn't like them very much, so they just held there head down and were happy to live.
Once we reached the cafeteria teachers decided to take the stooges in but they didn't forget to make sure they know that if they cause any issues they will be kicked out. They weren't students in the schools they were workers in one of the plethora of the establishments here so once the teachers heard the full story from Brook which also included their foursome with a student and later abandoning the said student, teachers didn't really saw them in a good light.
After that teachers spoke to me. "Are you going to try to safe them?"
"Yes. If possible, I would like to save them."
"I would love to help but we don't even have man power to properly scout and bring in resources. Most of the kids does not want to fight and with what we have we barely manage to set up proper guard shifts."
"No worries, we will take a bit of rest and we will head out in the sunset. That way we should reach the place when is dark, it would be hard to sneak in and out during light."
"Ok. Thanks for the help once again. If you need some resources just let any of us know."
After that we went to out room and sat down. I was visibly conflicted, Karla picked up on it and spoke.
"You are worried how I feel about saving her?"
I nodded. "I don't want to hurt you Karla. You are the only light I have right now. But I don't want her to be left to her on devices with those green things."
"Don't worry. She was you friend for how long?"
"Over two years."
"Ignoring the fact that you fell in love with her and she broke your heart she was still your friend for two years. It would be foolish for me to think that you would just let her to be raped, killed or whatever those green things are planning to do. I would mind if you wanted to fuck her, or be with her. I don't mind you not wanting her to be raped or killed. Honestly, I would start to regret my decision to be with you if you let her there without batting an eyelid. And it makes me happy that you are considering my feelings, but please start with that once she is safe. OK?"
I smiled and hugged Karla tightly. "I am so happy to have you."
She smiled. "Would you mind helping me with something before we go?"
I chuckled. "You are horny again after fighting, aren't you?"
She blushed and nodded.
"There is nothing in this world I would rather do then help you with this problem. Going to that stadium with sun up would be akin to just offing myself. So, we have to wait anyway."
She chuckled. After that we started to kiss and undress. So that my beautiful berserker can have her tension relived before fight.
Once we were done with our activity, we were lying on the two stretched out sleeping bags in each other's arms.
"Karla, I need to tell you something."
"Should I be scarred? You sound serious."
"Nope. It's about my abilities. My skill was not the only thing I received after my first kill."
"What else did you get?"
"Let's start from beginning …." I explained everything, what my first kill was, how I killed it, what I got, and how I used it. Everything.
"So those items you gave me weren't just random pulls you got. You grabbed them especially for me."
"Its a weird thing to take out of the story but yes, I grabbed them for you."
"And there is one more thing, as we got our classes, we reverted to level 0 in that class, I think same thing is with ghouls. Once they reach level 10 as ghoul, they become one of those weird ghouls."
"Makes sense, also now I understand why you get so many chests, your trait is always giving you best possible reward most likely."
