Chương 44: Fused Skill
[Meditation(Level 1):
Allows the user to generate 500 Time Points per second
Requirement: The user needs to be in a state of minimum movement
Skill points required to upgrade the Skill: 10]
[Time Flow(Level 1):
Allows the user to generate 20 Time Points per second passively.
Requirement: None
Skill points required to upgrade the Skill: 10]
I saw the two skills with a surprised expression. Though, since I had already been greeted with so many powerful skills, I was actually expecting something like this.
'Which should I choose? Mediation will bring back the total amount of Time Points in a single second, but without passive TP generation I would need to recharge it every often so… as for Time Flow, while it does allow me to use my current skills without much problem, if I get a skill in the future that costs a lot of Time Points…. I might need to be careful of how and where I use my Time Points,' I pondered a bit more before I looked at that skill.
In the end, I chose Time Flow simply because it would help me face the near future zombies without thinking about my Time Points.
[Path chosen: Time Flow]
[System found that the previous skills had level Level 8 and 5 respectively]
[Upgrading the Fused Skill!]
[Upgradation Complete!]
[Time Flow(Level 3):

Requirements: None
Skill Point required to upgrade the Skill: 30]
"..." I blankly looked at the new skill I got before I blinked a few times and rubbed my eyes to check if I was really looking at what I was looking at. After I confirmed that what I was looking at was indeed the Level 3 Time Flow Skill, I ended up chuckling silently before I moved up.
Reaching the 35th floor where Caroline and Alex were before, I moved inside the apartment to see White reading a book and Alex sitting with the girl who was previously peeking at him.
As for Caroline, she was awake but was still resting on the bed as she observed me with a weak smile.
[Inspect!]
I smiled at her before taking a proper look at her

'99%, huh?' I thought as I moved closer to her and spoke,"Hey, you okay?"
She nodded before slowly getting up as I sat beside her. She then leaned on my shoulder as she mumbled,"I am sorry…"
I grabbed her hand and patted her head with my other hand as I spoke,"it is fine. You did great… There was little you could have done in that situation."
She smiled a little, but that was mostly a forced smile as the death of Blaze and Adam was still probably affecting her.
I then looked at her as I spoke,"how are you feeling, right now?" and she said,"a bit weak… feels like all my energy is being sucked into my chest from my body."
I nodded at her before taking out an E-Grade zombie core and spoke to her,"try absorbing this."
At my command, she began absorbing the core and within a few minutes; I saw her Grade changing from F to E as her stats transformed as well.

Her stats were going off the charts, and I could only sigh as I compared them to mine. I saw her turning more white as her skin turned pale every second.
"Take more," I muttered, giving the rest of the cores to her. She absorbed the rest of the cores as fast as her body could and after she was done, she turned silent for a few moments.
'How long till she overcomes the zombie genes?'
[12 hours: 14 minutes: 23 seconds]
'How long till the zombie genes overpower hers?'
[28 hours: 19 minutes: 45 seconds]
[Advanced Time Manipulation!]
I decreased the time of her taking over the zombie genes by 200 times and…
[3 minutes: 47 seconds]
I let her sleep in my arms for the next 5 minutes and as soon as the timer went off; I saw her slowly opening up her eyes as she looked at me with a confused expression. Then a smile blossomed on her face as she asked,
"What did you do?"
"Kissed the pain away," I smiled as she blushed red as she looked at me. Currently, she was a few inches away from me and I felt a sudden rush in my body but..
"Cough. Cough. There are kids here," spoke White as he looked at us with a slightly awkward look and both Caroline and I observed the kids with a bit of a stupefied expression.
I totally forgot about them… oops!
"Well… what were you doing down there for the last 5 hours?" asked White with a concerned expression and, hearing that, Caroline looked at me with a slightly confused expression.
"I went down," I spoke as I looked at White and he narrowing his eyes at me he asked,
"How much down?"
Caroline looked at me with a slightly angry expression as realization struck her and she spoke,"don't tell me you went down alone to kill the zombies by yourself?"
Awkwardly, I turned my head away from Caroline before White asked again sternly this time,"how much down?" I looked at him as he was seriously observing me. My eyes then drifted to Alex and that girl, looking at me with a curious expression as well, while Caroline was waiting for my answer before she would get to the conclusion of what to do with me.
"Well… I went down to… the 3rd floor."
