Then, a thought struck me, and I quickly asked the system, '' System, when you rewarded me with the Zombie Emperor bloodline, I remember there was a storage from which I extracted and then fused the bloodline. Do I still have access to that system storage or not? ''
The system replied promptly, '' Host, the system does have storage, and it is an unlimited space that can store all non-living things. ''
Listening to the system's explanation, I was thrilled to have an unlimited storage space at my disposal. This meant I could keep things hidden and easily accessible, such as the rifle I had asked Disha's husband, Walker, to hide behind the door. The possibilities were endless, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement at the new opportunities this presented.
I looked at Disha, noticing her gaze fixed outside through the transparent panel. I took her hand gently and made her look at me. ''Don't be afraid,'' I said softly, trying to reassure her. ''At least we are safe here for now.''
She looked at me with tears streaming down her face, her eyes filled with fear and uncertainty. She nodded slightly, her body trembling. Just as I was about to say something more, I noticed the elevator descending.
The doors opened and out walked five or six people, their faces turning to horror as they took in the scene before them. Blood and bodies were scattered everywhere, and walkers were biting and eating the fallen.
Among the group, I spotted a woman who looked like a doctor, her outfit giving her away. Quickly, I activated the Identity Scan function and focused on her, eager to gather more information
[ IDENTITY SCAN ]
[ Name ]: Sunita
[ Age ]: 35
[ Favorability ]: 0
[ Occupation ]: Doctor/ Surgeon
[ Skills ]: Surgeon skills, Medical knowledge, Clinical Skills.
I looked at her profile and felt like I had struck gold. Where else could I find someone as talented as her? She was a doctor, which meant she could treat all kinds of diseases and ailments—fever, pain, headache, stomachache, you name it. But she wasn't just any doctor; she was also a surgeon, skilled in performing operations and tending to the wounded with ease.
As I scanned her details, I couldn't help but notice her appearance. She was beautiful, with a tall and slim body structure that made her look more like a model than a doctor. Her striking features and confident demeanor only added to her allure. I knew that having her on our side could be a game-changer.
I made up my mind—I had to save her and ensure she willingly followed me from this point on. Acting swiftly, I opened the world map and selected all the walkers in the vicinity. I issued a precise order: ''Go attack all the people except the woman standing near the elevator. '' She was the only woman among the group that had descended through the elevator, making her easy to single out.
With the command given, I watched as the walkers began to move, their attention now focused on the new targets. The chaos of the scene intensified as the walkers lunged at the others, leaving the woman unharmed. I knew I had to act quickly to secure her safety and bring her to our side. Every second counted, and I was determined to make the most of this opportunity
I turned to Disha and said, '' Just stand here and don't move. I'm going to save them. '' Just as I was about to open the entrance door to the stairwell and step out, I felt someone grab my hand.
I turned my head to see Disha holding onto me, her eyes wide with fear. ''No, don't leave me alone, '' she pleaded, her voice trembling. ''I'm scared.'' She gripped my hand tightly, trying to pull me back, her body shaking with anxiety.
I could see the terror in her eyes, the desperation in her grip. She was on the verge of panic, and I knew I had to reassure her. '' Mrs, listen to me, '' I said softly but firmly, placing my other hand on hers. '' I need to help them. I promise I'll be right back. You'll be safe here. ''
I could feel her reluctance, her fear battling with her trust in me. I gave her hand a gentle squeeze, trying to convey my confidence and calm.
I turned around and approached Disha, wrapping her in a reassuring hug. ''Don't worry,'' I murmured, ''I promise I won't leave you alone, no matter what happens. But I need to save them, otherwise, they'll be attacked by those crazy people.'' I could feel her body trembling against mine, her grip on my hand unyielding.
'' Don't, it's dangerous outside,'' she insisted, her voice choked with fear. ''Please don't go.'' Her plea was desperate, her eyes welling up with tears.
I didn't say anything more. Instead, I looked at her and activated the identity scan function to check her loyalty. What I saw shocked me—her favorability towards me had increased to 60 in just a matter of minutes. That's why she was so reluctant to let me go. She now considers me as a friend.
This sudden surge of favorability explained her desperate plea and her unwillingness to be separated from me. I took a deep breath, realizing the depth of her dependence and the responsibility it placed on me.
I understood her reluctance, but I knew I had to act quickly to save the doctor, or my chance to make a favorable impression on her would slip away. I looked at Disha, holding her hand gently, and said, '' Okay, don't worry. I won't be going anywhere. '' I wiped her tears away with my thumb, offering her a comforting smile.
'' But let me open the door, '' I continued softly, ''so that they can come in quickly, and we can close the door right afterward. Alright? '' I kept my voice calm and soothing, trying to convey a sense of urgency while also reassuring her that we would remain safe.
Disha looked at me, her eyes searching mine for a moment before she finally nodded, her grip on my hand slowly relaxing. I gave her hand a gentle squeeze, grateful for her trust, and turned to face the door, ready to put my plan into action.
