Chapitre 20: Another Group
All members of the group made stunned expressions. But soon an expression of happiness replaced that.
"Whoa, amazing! I'm level 30!" Reed shouted after taking a look at his Attribute Window.
He still couldn't believe what he was seeing so he glanced at his Attribute window that floated into his field of vision once again.
Mona, Eric, Rodney, Sonya, and Asqa saw the same thing. And their reactions were the same as Reed's. Their eyes opened wide in shock.
"We should only reach level 30 on the third or fourth day," Rodney muttered in a dreamy tone. It was as if he still couldn't believe the number written on his Attribute window.
Clyde also checked his Attribute Window to see how much his strength had grown.

<<==================>>
Clyde nodded in satisfaction seeing how his Attributes had grown so much.
Besides him Leveling Up countless times, he also obtained a [Title].
For this one, Clyde will keep it a secret. Maybe Clyde wouldn't ever say that either.
Clyde turned his head in all directions. But he didn't see any more zombies attacking.
The thick green smoke was no longer visible within a radius of several kilometers from where they stood.
However, Clyde still saw the smoke rising high in the northern sky.
'That area still seems to be facing zombie attacks.'
Clyde looked at the northern area that was still covered in green smoke thoughtfully.
He managed to destroy the Zombie Spawner in this area and killed all the zombies numbering in the hundreds.
This made him - and all his group members - level up a lot.
This means he got a very large power development drastically.
Clyde thought of going to places that were still being threatened by zombies and destroying the Zombie Spawners again. That way he would level up quickly.
But, wouldn't that look flashy?
That one thought was enough to make him hesitate. But the temptation of a great Level up made his heart waver even more.
Should he be careful not to stand out? Because he doesn't want to attract too much attention more than now.
"Clyde, what were you thinking?" Asqa asked while walking towards him.
She then looked at Clyde's hands which were full of wounds.
"Your hands..." Asqa said in a worried tone.
"Nothing to worry about. I'm fine. It's just a scratch," Clyde said.
Then Clyde put the Elderglass Sword into the scabbard at his waist.
Even if ones Leveled Up in this apocalypse, they would not return to their original state like in the game. They will continue to bear the wounds they experienced.
Clyde didn't feel anything in his body from the zombie scratch on the top of his hand.
That means unlike in the movies, these zombies won't turn humans with scratches or bites.
"Let's go back to the motel," Clyde said.
He approached the rest of the group and told them to go back to the motel and rest.
The group members walked with happy looks on their faces even though their bodies were covered in wounds.
It must be because they had gotten something far beyond their expectations when they left the motel this morning.
That is a lot of Leveled up. The pain in their bodies was nothing compared to what they had received.

Somewhere else, another group is hiding in a building.
The group consists of five people. But one of them had not returned from his reconnaissance duty.
Those who were here consisted of two men and two women.
They tried their best not to make a sound so that the zombies outside this door would not notice their presence.
One of the men among them started to speak in a very low voice. "Where's Albert?"
"He's doing reconnaissance, did you forget?" a young-looking woman - maybe in her teen age - replied in a suppressed irritated tone.
"Yeah. But why isn't he back yet?" The man glanced at his watch. "Nine minutes have passed."
"Be patient," one of the men with a stern face said.
The man looked the oldest of them. His hair is still full but slightly turned silver in a few places.
"With his ability, Albert will return safely," the man added.
Hearing him speak, all the members of the group calmed down again. As if what he said would become the truth for this group.
The sound of zombie footsteps outside sounded terrible. They walked with fast steps accompanied by a hoarse disturbing voice.
[ "Zombies will start evolving!" ]
The voice sounded in their heads. The four people were suddenly enveloped by a feeling of fear.
Their minds filled with thoughts about how the zombies would change.
"It's okay," the stern-faced man said with a smile. "We'll be fine if we hide here."
The man said trying to calm them down. But the only person who felt slightly better at his words was the young girl.
The other two people looked the same. The man and woman who looked grown up didn't feel that everything would be fine. But they stay silent.
The older man had a reason why he could stay calm in a situation like this.
However, that reason would only be his and that man named Albert - The man who was now going on a reconnaissance - to keep.
The sound of zombie footsteps outside sounded even louder. No one knows what they have turned into.
If their footsteps were that loud, it was certain that they would turn enormous.
Shortly thereafter Albert came through the wall. Everyone was immediately surprised at his arrival.
Albert was the man in the robe who had been observing Clyde earlier.
He drew closer to the stern-faced man and whispered.
"I see a very strong person."
