July 25, 2033 (Morning).
When Viktor woke up it was early but the sun was already up. He saw his sister who had her hand under the pillow lightly gripping the knife. He released his grip on the knife and walked over to her.
He quickly threw himself on top of her and began to scream!!!!
She woke up and screamed! She also released her knife and tried to push her brother off with both hands.
Her brother did not give in and grabbed her. He then grabbed her clothes and pulled her closer to him. Their parents watched this scene in shock.
Her brother warned sternly, "If they try to grab you like that, don't drop the knife!!!"
"That way they could easily kill you!!! The knife is only good if you learn how to use it!"(Viktor)
"Have you gone crazy? Why would I raise my guard here? Are you going to rape me or something like that?! YOU'RE MY BROTHER!"(Lucia)
"WHATEVER! YOU SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SLEEP IN PEACE!!!"(Viktor)
"What if an ogre breaks the wall? "He lowered his tone and sighed slightly. He let go of his sister and sighed.
If there was one thing he had learned from this new situation, it was that everything was unpredictable. They had to prepare for whatever might happen.
He looked at his parents who were looking at him like a madman.
"You too!!!"
After that the other members of his family talked a bit while Viktor ate quickly. He looked at them and sighed.
"The best thing to do is to go to the supermarket at night, at that time the zombies and undead are clumsier because they don't see. And we just have to follow the street" (Viktor).
"Besides, now I can see quite well even in the dark" (Viktor).
The rest of the family agreed to go out at night. Less conspicuousness was the best thing to do.
This day Viktor hunted very little, he was very distracted. He was quite frustrated to learn that he was still very distracted by the various problems in his head.
This reminded him of his bad habits of avoiding all problems, which now that he had something he really wanted to get better at, he wanted to leave behind.
Viktor returned from his third hunt of the day at dusk, when everyone was ready.
Even though Azul's family and Benjamin's family didn't want to pay him, they still needed the food, so there they were.
After a short discomfort, they were willing to pay, using a feature of the system. Known as the debt system or as system contracts.
It had no level, but varied according to price. For 200 Scoins they could sign an agreement (the most basic) for the 2 parties to fulfill what they promise.
The family commits to accompany them to the supermarket and to protect them, both on the way there and on the way back.
The other group will pay 5000 Scoins, divided equally for each person.
The penalty for not fulfilling the contract would be to pay double the agreed amount to the system.
Even if they did not want to pay this amount, it was automatically extracted. That is to say, when owing Scoins, the debtor could not spend his Scoins on other purchases.
The system would transfer to the innocent party 3/4 of what was coming to them, as long as they were on planet earth.
According to what they agreed, the members of the secondary group could pay whenever they wanted within the established time, but for each day the money they owed would increase by 100 Scoins.
Upon reaching 35 days, at which time it would be considered that they did not fulfill the contract.
Since they had given the excuse that they had not yet saved enough, this should serve.
Both Azul and Benjamin complained again, but they had no choice, as Viktor was not going to be kind to them. They agreed to pay when they could.
Jessie immediately paid 460 Scoins, but Viktor felt strange looking at her. He didn't know her intentions well, but she didn't seem to see his sister as a friend.
Melissa's family also paid on the spot, 1380 Scoins.
It seemed best to them that two groups who didn't get along should interact as little as possible.
Viktor liked them, because they still saw his sister with good feelings. Although he knew the parents viewed him warily, he didn't mind.

July 25, 2033. (Nightfall.)
Viktor and his family decided to go closer to Melissa's family than to the rest of the secondary group, which did not object.
It was best to keep two groups that had conflicts between them away from each other.
On the way many zombies followed them, it was difficult to pass and they had to go very slow.
The road was full of zombies, and it was not strange to see other undead-like skeletons.
In about 65 minutes they arrived at the supermarket.
When they arrived at the parking place there were naturally zombies waiting for them...
The fight was short-lived, the zombies they encountered were not of a high level, and Viktor and his family were able to work very closely together.
Also, not all the zombies were alerted, as they were killed without making much noise.
Lucia could not participate in the fight, because her magic would call many enemies.
Little by little they advanced to the supermarket, but unfortunately it was as Viktor feared. This one was inhabited, eyes stared at them from the supermarket...
Soon, a huge muscular man with an ax just like Viktor's came out, a large group of people behind him came out, approximately 15 armed people.
"You are looking for food right?" This man spoke no nonsense and went right to the central point.
"Umm!" Viktor nodded.
"Well, all the same..." Mentioned the man.
"This place is taken as you can see...We're not exactly few in number and I'm afraid it doesn't do us any good to donate as charity..."
Viktor frowned...
"Is there anything we can do to get you to consider leaving us food? It's a big supermarket, I don't think you're really short of food."
"You can come in, even if you like you can eat...But I'm afraid nothing but fresh food is what I can offer you...If you want to take something you'll have to pay depending on what it is."
"But if you wish, as long as you stay here and help us with the defense you can stay and eat."
"As you can see, we lack strong warriors who are not afraid to fight... "He said as he looked contemptuously at some people who looked terrified as they looked at the zombies.
"You guys look like you know how to fight, if you stay I assure you, we'll treat you well."
"Unfortunately we plan to return to our area, I think if there is nothing we will look elsewhere... "Viktor said.
This group didn't look weak, and he didn't want to fight or rely on them.
Azul and Benjamin's group on the other hand disagreed:
"I think we should stay!"shouted Azul with an angry face, clearly disagreeing with Viktor making the decision without speaking.
"Me too... "Benjamin's father spoke, to which the son nodded.
"Besides again...Making decisions like a tyrant, without asking..."Criticized Azul.
" I never speak for you, you are free, if you wish to stay "Viktor looked at her coldly, as he rebutted.
"Come on...You're a group right...why don't you all come in for a meal and a chat...then you can discuss if you decide to stay." The muscular man spoke.
The family decided it was a good idea to stop by, even though Viktor didn't consider these "friends" of his sister's close.
They shared the thought that perhaps there would be some chance of getting some satisfaction trade by coming in.
