"Nobody run, we got ourselves into this mess and we're going to get ourselves out." Kamikaze said, he was trying to act brave but deep down he wanted to run as far as he could.

Kenji placed his hand on Quickie and another boy beside him, for now he could only copy 2 talents and he had picked those he felt were the most advantageous.

"Kenji, where are you going?" Kamikaze said but Kenji has already broken through the door.

'I can't let them see me using their talents.' Kenji thought, his trump card was that no one knew what his actual talent was.

Two zombies swung their arms at Kenji but with a single thought, the bodies of the zombies slowed down at the last second.

'This chronokinesis is actually a good talent.' Kenji thought to himself, thanks to the slowed down zombies, he was able to quickly weave through the zombies around him.

There was no point in trying to fight against zombies that he couldn't kill so he was going directly for the king.

Ten zombies surrounded Kenji, not giving him any chance to escape or maneuver around them.

'The only way out is through.' Kenji thought, these were level 3 zombies, so he couldn't just kill them in a single attack.

[Mana flash.]

Kenji appeared before one of the zombies with vantage sight already telling him the outcome of his every move.

[Mana Slash has been infused with Chrono kinesis and Superspeed talents.]

Kenji's sword began to emit a low humming sound and a blue glow coated it completely, he swung his sword as fast as he could, aiming to take out the Zombie.

Kenji's sword easily cut through the air, but the zombie's skin was a different case, the zombie barely managed to dodge at the last second, throwing Kenji off balance and sending him rolling across the floor.

'What the fuck? I didn't see it dodging when I used vantage sight, what is going on?' Kenji asked himself.

Kamikaze appeared beside one of the zombies and in the blink of an eye, a soul shattering punch crashed into one of the zombies, sending it flying.

'Of course, vantage sight doesn't work on him too.' Kenji thought, the zombie hadn't dodged his attack, Kamikaze kicked the zombie at the last second, sending Kenji's attack off target.

All the hairs in Kenji's body stood up and he could feel goosebumps slowly gathering around his skin.

Kenji quickly rolled out of the way, dodging the body of a zombie who nearly crashed into him.

'So that is what Danger sense feels like?' Kenji thought to himself, the skill had never really manifested itself before because Kenji either the danger was too small to be seen as a threat or Kenji was too overwhelmed to take notice.

'I can't get distracted, I need to find that king.' Kenji said to himself, he got up from the floor and continued to run as fast as he could.

The restaurant was incredibly big and without any way to pinpoint the location of the king, Kenji was just running in circles.

A zombie swiped it's claws towards Kenji who was too distracted and took close to dodge.

At the last second, two black daggers pierced into the zombie's head, giving Kenji enough time to dodge the attack.

"I know you're smart and I know you won't abandon us, keep looking for whatever it is you need to find." Quickie said, he was no fool and could see that the zombies were not dying, no matter how hard he tried.

If he cut off the head of a zombie, it would just grow back and continue to attack him like nothing was wrong.

"Whatever you plan on doing, do it now." Quickie said hastily, he had already expended enough energy to find this place and now he had to use even more to fight.

'If I'm not careful, I'll be dying for good this time.' Quickie said, he tried to dodge another attack, but this time he was too slow and zombie claws slammed into his stomach.

Quickie groaned in pain, blood began to rush out of his stomach like a faucet, but he still couldn't stop or he would die.

Three more zombies appeared all around Quickie making him sigh in frustration, he was having a really bad day today.

"Come at me you lifeless bastards." Quickie shouted, he dodged one of the claws headed his way, but the other one had crashed into him.

Kenji on the other hand, was easily dodging every zombie that came his way, thanks to Vantage sight and danger sense, he was able to evaded whatever came his way and prevent being surrounded.

A few floors below Kenji and the rest of the group, a huge zombie sat comfortably with hundreds of humans around him.

Four sharp spikes penetrated out of his head, indicating his status as a level 5 zombie.

"No, please, I have a family..." A black haired woman screamed but her pleas fell on deaf ears.

The level 4 zombie had gulped her down in a single attempt, putting an end to her life.

A fifth spike slowly appeared on the Nest King's head, solidifying it's transition into a level 5.

[The Nest has leveled up.]

A horrified look appeared on Kenji's face, his chances of survival had become slimmer.
