Chapitre 15: The First Chapter
"Outer Gods?" Sonya frowned at Rodney's answer.
She had never heard of it before. But Sonya knew that name sounded pretty terrifying.
Unlike Sonya, Clyde knew what the 'Outer God' was about. But he didn't think that such a creature would exist in this apocalypse.
Because Clyde spends his time reading novels in addition to playing games. He had a slight idea of what the 'Outer God' was.
Clyde swallowed his saliva. Then look at Rodney to ask.
"What does the Outer God look like?"
The Regressors exchanged glances. The one who answered Clyde's question was Mona.
"We don't remember how it was."
Mona looks like she is trying to find the answer in her mind. Yet the frown and expression on her face seemed to say that memory was something very difficult to achieve.
"No one has managed to remember its form. All we remember from day five is the feeling of hopelessness and immeasurable fear," said Reed. His body seemed to be shaking a little.
Clyde bit his lip. Hearing their explanation about what would happen later made him feel scared.
Even when he already had an advantage that no one else had in a disastrous situation like this.
'Playing in Easy-Mode alone will not be enough to defeat the Outer God.'
While thinking about this, Clyde stared at the four Regressors.
"I think we should work together," said Clyde while looking at them seriously.
"We thought so too," replied Mona with a pleased expression. It was as if she had found new hope.
'I can make use of the knowledge they have.'
Clyde's intention was of course not to help them. But the knowledge possessed by people who have repeated this disaster several times is invaluable.
"We have to prepare early. The first day isn't over yet," said Clyde. "What can we get on this day?"
"There are still some monsters hanging around. We might be able to get Exp points from them to level up," Eric replied.
"Didn't all the monsters disappear once the BOSS was killed?" asked Clyde with a confused expression.
"No. Actually, there are still a few that survive but they won't come out of their nests. It's as if they were deliberately hidden."
"Like 'secret' in the game, huh..." Clyde mumbled. "We also need food."
Even though Clyde wasn't feeling hungry at all right now - perhaps because of the effect of his stats - he knew that the effect wouldn't last long. They had to find food supplies.
After everyone agreed, they exited the motel to go to the location indicated by the four Regressors.
The remaining ant monsters were hiding in the dark buildings and several houses.
They killed the monsters and started earning enough experience to advance to the next level.
But Clyde didn't get any more Level ups.
He who had reached Level 10 after killing many monsters at once and the BOSS alone needed more Exp points than others to be able to level up.
After hunting down the hiding monsters while gathering food, they returned to the motel.
Almost all of them advanced to Level 3.
Except for Asqa who was still at Level 2.
Even so, Asqa wasn't at a disadvantage because she was only a Healer.
Clyde thought at this early stage, that Asqa had become a pretty good Healer.
With her Healing skill reaching Level 3, she could even treat Reed whose arm was about to sever until that man looked as healthy as ever.
Once back at the motel, Mona went into Asqa and Sonya's room.
Eric, Rodney, and Reed were in one room. Clyde made it clear that he didn't want to share a room with anyone else.
Before Rodney entered his room, Clyde asked. "Tomorrow, what will we face?"
Rodney looked at Clyde with slightly anxious eyes. "Zombie Virus."
"Oh, classics." Clyde nodded his head.
"But the First Chapter will be more difficult than the Second Chapter."
Hearing that, Clyde frowned. "Why?"
"Tomorrow, everyone who is exposed to Virus smoke for more than a minute will turn into zombies. That means the same as dying. Then the zombies will start mutating every ten minutes into a stronger form."
"How do we deal with the smoke?" asked Clyde.
"There is a special gas mask that we have to find to block the effects of the virus smoke."
Clyde nodded. "Then, the BOSS?"
Rodney sighed before answering. As if to convey the toughest part of the story.
"The BOSS can control all zombies. He has sharp weapons, blunt weapons, and firearms. And also quite intelligent."
'Seems like quite a troublesome BOSS.' Clyde thought.
"Thanks for the information. Get some sleep. Tomorrow will be a long day like before," said Clyde.
Rodney stared fixedly at Clyde. "I don't know how you got to be that strong. But, the four of us are grateful to have you here with us. Thank you."
After saying that, Rodney turned around and went into his room.
Clyde felt a strange feeling he had never felt before.
Did someone thank him? it never happened before.
But Clyde saw clearly from Rodney's eyes, that he was really sincere in saying that.
Though Clyde just wanted to make use of their knowledge. Does he deserve that gratitude?
"Hahh..."
Clyde sighed and left the motel.
He canceled his plans to sleep after hearing Rodney's explanation.
Instead, he headed to the convenience store where the Checkpoint was previously located.
He walked over to the vending machine that sold Skills.
Clyde scrolled through the screen to select a Skill he thought would be useful for tomorrow.
The moon began to slip into the night sky. This indicates the night is getting late.
Clyde came out of the convenience store carrying six Akill cylinders. Then he returned to the motel.
He spends a lot of coins on these skills.
