Clyde came in and got some bread. The earthquake grew bigger and the sound of the alarm outside sounded more and more terrifying as time went on.
Even so, Clyde ate calmly but quickly. He will not waste time just eating.
But he also wouldn't panic too much knowing how strong he was.
About a minute later Clyde came out drinking a coke. After that, he threw the can once he emptied it.
"Okay," Clyde said. "What should we do?"
"The BOSS in the First Chapter is a pretty intelligent creature. It is also very strong and can control the zombies around it. I've also seen it have a pet which is a very large flying monster," Rodney explained.
"Don't worry. I've taken care of the flying monster," Clyde said in a calm tone. As if it's no big deal.
"What?!"
Even so to others, his words were something hard to believe.
"Don't worry about that flying monster. Just tell us what we have to do to kill the BOSS faster," Clyde said.
Rodney stared at him with a stiff face.
'He's already managed to defeat the Corpse Bringer Dragon? But given his strength, it's not completely impossible.'
Eric took over the explanation. "I guess we should wait until the BOSS weakens."
"What do you mean?" Clyde asked.
"In time, that BOSS and all the zombies will start to weaken when the sun goes down. After that, we can kill it."
"So we have to wait until the sun goes down?" Sonya asked.
Eric nodded. "Yes."
"That's still a long time. The BOSS might have found us before sunset," said Sonya, looking troubled.
"We don't have to do that," Clyde said. "Have you guys forgotten that you guys are much stronger than before?"
Hearing Clyde's words, the group blinked their eyes.
Their facial expressions said as if they had just realized something important.
"Jeez, I forgot. We're already Level 30!" Mona said with a happy face.
Reed and Eric also showed their relieved faces. They both even smiled.
Only Rodney looks like he was thinking bout something and looked restless.
He had realized that from the start. And now Rodney was occupied by another thought.
Asqa noticed the look on Rodney's face that looked strange.
But Asqa did not think too much about it. She thinks it's not worth mentioning.
"Let's go," Clyde said, looking at them all.
Clyde was planning to let them take care of the BOSS. Because he was already strong enough.
After all, now he also got a [Title] which was at Level 2.
He would let them achieve this victory so that their chances of survival in the next stage also increased.
Clyde told himself, he only did that because he didn't want to be troubled by what happened in the future. And so they can help him.
Rodney showed them the way to the place where the BOSS would appear.
Just as they were walking, the Window that announced the appearance of the BOSS appeared.
Clyde wondered why it had to take this long. Did they want to create a terror effect by letting the earthquake and alarm last longer?
[ CHAPTER 1: UNDEAD VIRUSES. ]
[ PROGRESS: MYSTERIOUS ZOMBIES HAVE APPEARED IN AN EMPTY BUILDING. ]
[ OBJECTIVE: THE MYSTERIOUS ZOMBIES IS A 'BOSS'. KILL THE ZOMBIES TO COMPLETE CHAPTER ONE. ]
"Don't forget to use your Stat Points to upgrade your Stats to max," said Clyde.
They all do it. Clyde had seen their Character Information earlier.
Unlike him, even if they upgraded their Stats to full, their Stats wouldn't reach Level 10.
The limit of their Stats was mostly less than Level 10. So even if they had upgraded their Stats to full, they wouldn't be able to become as strong as Clyde.
But there is one thing that makes Clyde a bit confused. Why does the text on the notification say 'MYSTERIOUS ZOMBIES'?
"Hey, how many BOSS do we have to fight actually?"
Out of curiosity, Clyde decided to ask the Regressors.
"We'll only fight one. But it's very troublesome. At least before," Reed replied.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. Why?"
Seeing the look on Clyde's face, Reed and the others who saw the look on his face became confused too.
"Clyde, did you notice something?" Asqa asked.
"I'm the one who's surprised that you guys didn't notice. Did you see that notification that popped up earlier? We might be facing more than one BOSS."
They all rushed to check the notification they received earlier.
They could reopen the notification Window just by thinking about it.
Everything has been recorded in any system that runs this apocalypse.
"You're right," Asqa muttered in a trembling voice.
"Shit, my bow isn't even properly fixed yet," Sonya said in a worried tone.
"What are you doing with your bow? Can you use it to fight?" Clyde asked.
"I tied it with ducktape and added my Magic Power to the it. It turns out that with Magic Power, this ducktape could be more binding than it should be. Even so, I feel unsure."
Sonya showed Clyde her broken bow.
There is a black tape that unites the two arc fractures. It looks pretty good and solid.
But as Sonya had said, Clyde couldn't be so sure about the bow either.
"If you're not sure, you better hide later," Clyde said.
Sonya just nodded her head.
They walked for several minutes. Until finally they could see a very tall building.
They could immediately tell that the building was where the BOSS lived.
Because there was a dark red aura that filled the surroundings of the building.
Around the building, there are so many hordes of zombies. They just stood still like statues.
Yet anyone could see that the zombies, numbering in the hundreds, or even thousands, were waiting for orders to move.
"Okay, now what?" Clyde asked in an even tone.
"I didn't see this before." Eric looked confused. "Why are they just standing still?"
From the other side, another group of survivors who arrived earlier were observing Clyde's group.
"They are here too," Albert said.
~~~
Albert returns from his scouting. As soon as he returned to his group, Albert said everything he saw.
"There are seven people?" Wiley asked. "And one of them is the strong man you said that time?"
Albert nodded "Yeah. And I don't think his companions are weak either."
They were all silent and lost in their thoughts.
"You do know that we will probably face more than one BOSS, right?" Leon said. His group mates nodded.
"There might have been two BOSS created since there were two groups in this area."
They pondered on what Leon had said. Then Rosie said what was on her mind.
"That may be true. But, we have no clear way of knowing for sure."
They know that this apocalypse is run by 'something' that is very powerful. For whatever reason, they don't know.
Whatever consideration 'they' put into making future developments was far beyond their expectations.
"How about we wait until they fight the BOSS? Once the BOSS looks weak, we can kill it," Wiley said.
They all stare at him. Wiley's face which did look like a cunning person now became clear.
"Doesn't that mean... we're going to take advantage of their predicament?" Lola said in a doubtful tone. Her facial expression looks uncomfortable.
"What are you saying, Lola?" Wiley looked at Lola. "We would indeed take advantage of their predicament. That's how we live in this messed-up world."
Lola wanted to say something. But then she had another thought.
What Wiley said had some truth to it. Was she willing to maintain the old way of life in a world that was already like this? That seems impossible.
"I agree," Rosie said. "If they are as strong as Albert says they are, then they should be able to take care of those two BOSSes."
"I agree too," Leon said.
"Sure," Albert said. "I almost suggested that too before Wiley said so."
Wiley grinned. "I'm glad no one wants to act like a hero in this group."
After they reached the agreement, they waited in a hidden place.
Albert was once again in the role of the man who carried out the furthest reconnaissance.
On Clyde's group side, they were still checking the place to confirm the threat they would face.
"I haven't seen the BOSS yet," Mona said.
"The notification says that the BOSS is in the building," Reed said.
"Fuck, does that mean we have to deal with the thousands of zombies lining up before we can meet the BOSS?" Mona gritted her teeth uneasily.
There are thousands of zombies as silent as statues.
They know that the zombies would immediately attack them as soon as they stepped a little closer.
"What should we do?" Asqa asked.
She brought her hands together in front of her chest and bit her lip.
Clyde who looked at her felt sorry for the girl. She looks so fragile.
Asqa's strength is completely unsuitable for her to be able to fight alone.
If Clyde hadn't helped her on the bus that time, Asqa would have been torn to death somewhere.
"You don't have to join the fight," Clyde said.
Asqa looked up at him. "But, that means I can't do anything to help."
"Your powers really can't be used to fight. That's a fact. But that doesn't mean you can't do anything to help," Clyde said. "You are a healer. So, heal the wounded."
After hearing Clyde's words, a faint smile appeared on her lips.
"Thanks. I owe you a lot," Asqa said.
This was the second time Clyde had heard someone's sincere thanks.
There was a warm feeling in his chest that he found difficult to describe because it was something he experienced very rarely.
Clyde is currently thinking, maybe having a companion in this apocalypse isn't too bad either.
But soon he quickly shook off that thought. Because he still can't trust someone easily.
"You have to remember that I saved you because you have the power of a healer," Clyde said.
Hearing those words, Asqa did not feel offended.
"I know. I'll try to be a good healer for you and the others."
Clyde did not reply to Asqa's words. He just stared at Asqa with a look that was difficult to understand.
*BOOM!*
An explosion suddenly sounded from the building. Following that, loud and disturbing roars were heard.
"GRRRUUUAAAHHH!!!"
They all stared at the building. Both Clyde's group and Leon's group could finally see the figure of the BOSS they had to kill.
The BOSS had a body similar to that of a human. However, its body size is probably five times the height of an ordinary human.
The strange thing is, the zombie BOSS has quite different characteristics and looks very dangerous.
It wears black plate armor that covers its chest, upper arms, and thighs.
The zombie was also holding an ugly shield that was round like pieces of steel glued together.
And in its other hand, the zombie was holding a cleave sword that was more than two meters long.
The zombies who were clearly the BOSS on this stage looked much more dangerous than the Black Ant Kings that Clyde was fighting at that time.
"I-Is the BOSS you fought back then like that too?" Asqa asked with a trembling voice.
She was unable to take her eyes off the zombie even though her eyes were shaking with fear.
"No No No. We shouldn't meet zombies like this. What the fuck is this?!" Reed said with a scared face that was almost the same as Asqa.
In fact, everyone in the group stared with fear and terror evident in their eyes.
Clyde wasn't as calm as before either.
The BOSS they had to kill seemed can't be hurt with the strength of this group alone.
'At this rate, I also have to join the fight.'
