Chapter 9 - Elites meet

_Hmm?_

Suddenly the zombies became hectic, the zombies started staggering to the other side while the one's banging the metal door ignored the disturbance.

" Okay... let's go. You guys keep up distance and don't attract any zombies... Got it?" Adrian spoke while making his way towards the zombies, especially stressing the latter part.

All the survivors nodded without making a sound. They understood what he meant by not attracting zombies.

Adrian turned to Anna " If anyone makes trouble tell me later, I'll deal with them personally..."

Anna nodded " Hmm... "

'Trouble? Who would dare cause trouble with this demon? He is killing zombies like helpless chickens.' the survivors thought.

Adrian's figure turned into a blur disappearing in the midst of zombies. Everytime he passed by the zombies, they would halt their movements for a second then drop down dead.

A while later, he came close to the source of the commotion and couldn't help but stop slightly surprised. 

Bang! 

A zombie was sent flying with its head crushed.

" Strong!" Adrian thought while watching as a burly man sent zombies flying with a metal bat. 

" His strength is considerable, almost as strong as me, but... His speed is too slow. He must have added all his free points to strength." Adrian thought with a contemplative expression on his face.

" With such speed, he should have been overwhelmed by the shear number of zombies, then that means..." Adrian thought slightly confused. He watched attentively as he noticed a zombie slip past the man's defence perimeter.

Sure enough, he got his answer.

Swoosh!

An arrow found its mark on the zombies head.

" An archer... and a good one at that." Adrian turned to look in the distance where the arrow came from, though he didn't find the source.

" Ah...so he has support... no wonder he's acting reckless." Adrian turned back to the burly man only to find him staring back at him. Just as the man opened his mouth to say something...

" Ice bullets!" A cold feminine voice sounded. Adrian and the man turned simultaneously to the source. 

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A dozen white streaks flashed and a dozen zombies froze dead.

" Fast!" Adrian exclaimed in his mind.

A beautiful female figure came into view. She had white flowing hair, white skin, blue eyes, a slender curvey figure and wearing a white uniform but her expression cold as ice.

She cast a cold glance at the burly man but her gaze turned colder when she turned to Adrian. 

Adrian looked at the woman who had joined the fray indifferently. The three of them looked at each other with caution.

Adrian turned around and continued to decapitate the zombies and so did the other two.

With all of them acting together, in less than ten minutes the zombies were annihilated.

Blood and flesh were scattered all over the place. 

The three fighters looked at each other cautiously. None of them seem willing to speak making the atmosphere somewhat strange.

At that moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the distance causing the three gazes to turn to that direction.

A handsome young man in sports clothes, a bow in hand and a quiver on his back was hurriedly approaching them.

" So he is the archer from before..." Adrian silently thought.

The young man " Alice, I am glad you are okay..."

" Am also glad you are okay, Arthur"

_ Alice?_ Adrian realized who the white haired beauty was.

Alice Winston, the current student association president. Not only was she the most beautiful in campus but she was also number one in grades.

Anyway, Adrian did not intend to listen to their conversation and turned around, walking away quietly.

" Wait a moment!" The burly man shouted at him when he saw him walking away. This attracted the attention of the pair.

Adrian stopped and looked at him silently.

"Why don't you stay with us?" The man offered " With the strength of us four combined, we can easily deal with those creatures."

" I didn't clean up this place to to casually leave." Adrian replied casually and turned around to walk away. He undid morph, his bladed arms turned into fog. His arms returned to normal while the fog entered his arms.

"Eh?" The burly man was stunned.

Adrian waved in the distance. A minute later, the group led by Anna came over.

The other three looked at him before turning around and walking away as well.

Five minutes later, the group of survivors rescued by the four joined together to form a large group.

After arguing for a while, the people in the building were forced to open the door regardless of their fear. None of them were willing to open the door, they had no choice but to open after Adrian got impatient, he morphed his left arm into a blade and forced it between the gaps of the door.

There were about thirty people hiding in there, there were men, women and some teachers, all looking at Adrian's group apprehensively.

Adrian ignored them and separated from the group and walked around.

The G-Hall was a huge building with all kinds of functions. 

There was a large assembly hall, a gymnasium, a huge indoor basketball court, an indoor football arena, sports equipment room and a cafeteria. 

Adrian first made his way to the cafeteria and stored a bit of food enough to last him at least a week and some cooking equipment. Then he found himself a room for himself. Before settling in the room, he called Anna and told her look for a med-kit.

He had a few deep cuts on his back that were still bleeding but most blood had clot with his shirt reducing blood loss.

The room he picked seem to have been an office. A single window at the far side, a small desk with a desktop set, an office chair and a small fridge at the corner. On the left side was a three sitter , a two sitter with a glass table in between. 

As much as he wanted to lie down, he couldn't due to the injuries. Adrian sat on the office chair supporting his head on the desk. 

He took out the orb he had obtained earlier after killing the mantis.

[ Would you like to learn the skill. YES/ NO.]

A message appeared asking if would like to learn the skill. Without hesitation he chose to learn the skill.

After accepting to learn the skill, the orb flashed into his body and his mind seemed to receive a flood of information as a strange rune appeared in his mind.

[ You have learned the active skill Sprint.]

[ Sprint (unranked skill level 5) : Activating this skill, your agility will be multiplied by two. Ten Mana points will be expended for every second sprint is activated.]

Hiss!

Reading the skill description, Adrian couldn't help but take in a deep cold breath of air, his eyes widening in surprise. 

A moment of silence.

" Two times Agility, that's..." Adrian exclaimed.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

The door was knocked hurriedly from outside. 

Hearing the sound coming from outside, Adrian almost jumped from the sit. His sudden movement caused some wounds to open causing him to feel very uncomfortable. 

He stayed silent for a moment before walking to the door and opened it without saying a word. 

Standing on the other side was a female student with messy clothes and a charming face. Her expression was one full of fear. 

She seemed surprised by the sudden appearance of Adrian, who had opened the door. 

" Do you need anything?" Adrian asked as he looked at the girl.
