Dexter, Zain, Leo, and Rina rode at the back of a truck with other stuffs from the station while the rest of Laurence's men rode the bikes while following. Laurence was the one driving the truck now.
"The bite?" Dexter said in confusion.
"Yup. The zombie bite is like... contagious. If a person is bitten then they will turn into a zombie for sure. But they won't turn into a normal one." Zain explained.
"What do you mean by that?" Dexter asked, still puzzled.
"If a person is bitten by a zombie then they turn into one that is twice as big as it. Twice as fast, twice as strong."
"And they will he more viscious looking. Most if them lose their hair during their change. Their fingers uhhh... what's the word... elongate, yes, elongate." Zain spoke with his glasses on while smirking.
Dexter nodded as he took in this information.
'So that one that I fought was also a bitten. This whole thing is very imbalanced. A weak zombie, bites a human, the human turns twice as strong, tall, fast...' Dexter was bewildered.
It wasn't like in the movies at all.
But again, this isn't a movie.
"Tiran impact is really strange." Dexter mumbled.
"Tsk. Strange is an understatement. The tiran impact is... is uhh... what's the word again... profound and deep." Zain touched his chin.
"Anyway. Its really mysterious and we still don't know what it wants. Even that introduction message a few days ago didn't have much info except something about a tower of heaven and the tiran impact happening all around the universe."
After more than twenty minutes of riding, the truck started slowing down and Dexter looked outside to see a large building, surrounded by other smaller buildings and people walking around. There was an iron fence covering the entire Periphery and Dexter saw a caution sign on it.
'Electric fences. Do they work on the zombies?' He was curious but it looked like someone beat him to it.
"Hey Laurence. Does electricity work on the zombies?" Leo asked with a calm tone.
"Yeah. That's actually one of the few things that works on them. Bullets have little to no effect on level 10 and above but electricity still works on them." Laurence confirmed and Dexter nodded.
Soon, the van came to a stop and they came down and looked around.
The surroundings were filled with people walking around, children, clothing was a problem though as a lot of people's clothes were dirty.
There were small buildings that looked incomplete and shaky but nobody complained and they just walked around with smiles on their faces.
'These people haven't lost hope?' Dexter was surprised to see the people happy IN AN APOCALYPSE.
Three guys that were driving the bikes came later and so did Laurence.
"Those bikes are really something." The Asian looking guy said as he went into the back of the truck to bring out the things they got.
"The bikes are great but the grenades we found were the better stuff." A guy with side cut, short black hair, and fair skin said as he followed.
The third guy with extremely low cut hair, almost to the root, entered into the truck without saying anything.
"Welcome to the survival base."
Dexter and the others looked sideways to see Laurence was already in front of them.
"Follow me. I'll show you guys around." Laurence said with a warm smile and they followed him.
"Although the camp is lacking a lot of things, it's still manageable. Look, that section is for cooks, and people who can cook." He pointed to a separate building where smoke came out from the top of the building through a metal pipe.
They were shown a lot of sections in the camp. They even had a nursing area for the sick and wounded which was quite nice.
Laurence then took them to a place where they'll be staying.
They entered a tent to see a man with dead eyes tieing up a person's leg with a bandage.
"You almost done, Freddy?" Laurence said and the man raised a brow as he looked at the people behind Laurence.
"Yeah. Just tightening it enough." Freddy mumbled as he finally tightened the bandage and nodded for the man to go.
"So these are new people. Assign them to a place to manage for now." Laurence said and Freddy nodded.
Dexter and his group was now left with Freddy and the man with a dead look gazed at Dexter for a while.
While the remaining three people were with weapons and flashy outfits, Dexter only had an umbrella in his hand.
"Follow me." Freddy finally said and they followed.
They were then taken to a small house that seemed to be held together by mud but it still looked neat.
"This is where you'll be staying for now until Laurence meets you guys in the morning." Freddy said and just walked away, still with his tired expression.
"That guy looked like he lost a lot." Zain did, and the rest of them nodded.
They entered inside and saw that it was just a small space with four mats on the floor and Dexter immediately pulled his bag and dropped his umbrella before stretching tiredly.
As all of them sat down on the floor Zain then brought up an issue. This text is hosted at Nove1Fire.net
"So after we defeated those dogs I got a few things, seems like that was considered a team fight," Zain said and began to move his fingers in mid air.
Dexter thought it was probably the system or tiran assistance or whatever it was called.
A few items appeared in front of him and Dexter looked at all of them with amazement.
There were a total of four items.
One of them were two black gloves that had golden patterns on it and it didn't have a place for fingers.
The second was a 2 meters long red spear that looked sturdy and the golden blade at the top looked extremely sharp and mystical with the red lines running on it.
The third was a pair of silver earrings that Zain first picked and smiled.
The last one was just a small blue orb that had a blue light within which radiated light and illuminated the room subtly.
"So how about we distribute these." Zain said as he reached for the one he targeted.
