Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

When the zombie comes from the direction where the four of us were, I wait for him to throw himself at the door, then I open it, the zombie stumbles forward, I step on his back, I don't need to warn Maria, she takes the opportunity to stab him with the knife that was returned by lais previously.

I close the door again, leaving it a crack to see if the others have been alerted, the others are still entertained a little further away from us.

The zombie that is crawling is very close to the door, when he is a few centimeters away I open the door so Maria can kill him too, as soon as she kills him I close the door.

I drag the first zombie she killed away from the door and look at Maria activating analysis.

Name: Maria Lore

Status: excited, happy

Level: 1 (0/40)

Strength: 10

Stamina: 11

Agility: 10

Mind: 11

Skills: abundant harvest lvl 1

abundant harvest lvl 1: passive skill, greater chance of a harvest presenting items with excellent quality, cut in maturation time by 10% and fewer inputs needed during cultivation, only upgradeable through #####.

According to the pattern I got from the system, it assigns skills according to the user's natural abilities, Maria, for example, until she was seventeen years old, lived in the countryside farming with her grandparents and cousins, and Lais is a type of person who likes to motivate people. people.

Mine is a particular case from what I could understand with these 'bonuses' that the system said.

"wherever my ability to create fire with my hands or ice would even accept the ability to heal"

Let me talk to Maria… she is crying.

I pull her into my arms, then she starts to cry, at least she puts her face in my shirt to muffle the sound.

"Maria, every skill has its importance, for example no one can live without eating, the food in stores will run out sooner or later, until then there will be many people who can fight but your skill will be indispensable"

I said what I think is really going to happen, at least she stopped crying and now she's just shaking, and when I see Talita approaching and caressing Maria's back even without knowing why she's crying.

"What do you hear? "

Talita asks softly.

I look at Maria in my arms, not wanting to speak without her consent.

"you can talk, I trust her"

Maria speaks softly, her voice trembling in my arms.

"she unlocked the system but the skill she received was not what she expected, but I think that all skills have a right time and place which is important"

Nodding at my response, Taliana speaks softly to Maria.

"You know that Wallace is right, no matter what her skill is…"

Then I couldn't hear what she was saying because I heard a loud knock on the door, probably another zombie, I quickly let go of Maria and ran to the door.

I saw through the doorway that there wasn't just one door, I called Luis with my arm to help me when I opened the door so it wouldn't open all at once.

When he arrived at my side, I also asked them in a low voice to hold the door when I opened it to kill the zombies.

When I opened the door a little I saw that there were two zombies, one of the two tried to stick his head through the door and I stuck the knife in it.

The other only managed to take a step forward when the first one started to fall when I stuck the knife into him too, unfortunately my knife ended up breaking, it was already fragile.

As soon as I started pushing the zombies from the middle of the door to close it, I saw a small white box on the floor next to the second zombie, as a good reader of apocalypse novels I already know what it would be and get excited, I quickly pushed them away from the door and I picked up the box and closed the door in less than five seconds.

Luis and Lais were surprised by my quick movement, but they didn't comment when they saw the box in my hand.

The white box is small, about ten centimeters wide with a fingerprint reader, perhaps to be opened only by the user who killed it? I used analysis on it.

Treasure box level 1: contains a random treasure that will help the user, set for walace.

Yes, it seemed that only I could open it, I sat down to rest a little, kill these zombies and it was more tiring than it seemed, I'm not very tired just that feeling of having climbed a flight of stairs quickly, but the others are sprawled out on the chairs a little next to me except Maria and Talita who sat next to me.

I take the box and place my thumb on the reader, it flashes a dim light and there is a combat belt with several compartments in my hand, I use it.

Storage belt lvl 1: increases all statistics by one, contains storage space of one square meter plus four weapon compartments, cannot be destroyed or upgraded.

It's basically a mini inventory with a status bust, very good.

Everyone is looking curious, I don't explain, I just put the belt around my waist, if it were Maria and maybe Lais I would talk but I'll keep quiet, then I'll talk to Maria.

Luis is looking at me frowning now, the girls are just looking at me in silence.

My status is like this now.

Name: Walacer Lima

Status: excited, excited

Level: 3 (20/40)

Strength: 10+1

Stamina: 12+1

Agility: 11+1

Mind: 12+1

After I put the belt on I no longer feel tired, it makes sense it was very shortly before.

Talita is poking me with the tip of her finger shyly, trying to get my attention.
