Chapter 129: Unconcious Big Sis?
As time passed, the sound of gunshots could be heard as multiple zombies died one after another. Aiden could see that more than 60 zombies had died up until now, and he also noticed how the path had become crowded, so the speed of their killing decreased.
He decided to give them a break, thinking they must be tired after continuously firing bullets at regular intervals for more than an hour.
So he said in a commanding tone to Ava.
"Ava, I want you guys to take a short break and continue afterward."
Ava, hearing his command, was pleased. She also wanted to suggest stopping for some time and continuing afterward.
Following his command, she told one of the girls to go to the security room and tell them to close the door. One of the girls quickly ran toward the security room to follow her orders, while the rest continued shooting the zombies that were continuously coming inside.
After two minutes, the large metallic door started to close. As it was a giant 3-meter heavy gate, the zombies that got stuck between were crushed by the gate.
Finally, the gate closed, and now Aiden was excited to harvest the cores from the zombies, but before that, he decided to ask the system one more time about it, as creatures with the ability to turn people into zombies were dangerous, and he didn't want to take any risks.
'System, what things should I be careful of when harvesting the cores of zombies?'
The system heard him and answered in her charming yet dominant voice, as zombies are dangerous creatures.
'You should never let them bite you when they are alive, and their nails have poison which could cause you quite a bit of trouble without the antidote. Other than that, everything is fine as their blood doesn't have poison.'
'In short, be careful of their bite when alive, and don't touch their nails. If you remember this, there will be no trouble for you.'
Aiden, satisfied with her answer, had one question that came to his mind after hearing her words, so he curiously asked her.
'What about getting injured by their teeth after they're dead?'
She heard his question and answered.
'Oh, about that, you also shouldn't touch them if you don't want to become a half-zombie. While it can give you power, you would become a slave to the zombies.'
'And you should figure out the rest yourself. I'm not going to explain anymore.'
Aiden didn't understand why she said they would become slaves to the zombies, but hearing about becoming a half-zombie was enough to scare him, so he decided to be cautious.
Now, he started to walk toward the bodies of the dead zombies as the rest of the group followed after seeing him walk.
With his sword still in hand, he reached a lone zombie whose head had been completely blown off by a sniper bullet. Without saying anything, he slashed his sword across its chest, resulting in cutting its body like butter due to the sharpness of the blade and the force applied.
One of the main reasons for such a clean cut, which even sliced through the zombie's ribs, was his amazing technique and skill.
Seeing how easily he cut the zombie's chest, the rest of the group guessed that he must be very skilled with a sword. What surprised them even more was that the bones were cut, which meant there was a great force behind the strike.
All of them knew they couldn't do what he had just done, which earned him some respect, realizing their leader must be quite strong to cut with such precision.
He dug his sword into the center of the zombie's chest, pulling out a small red core covered in blood. He walked toward the stone where it dropped, picked it up with a little blood on his hands, and said.
"Do you see where the stone is? You should dig them out, but be careful not to touch their teeth or nails. That could be dangerous, and I don't want anyone taking unnecessary risks."
"And as you can see, I touched its blood, so it's not a problem. Now you guys should quickly gather all these cores."
All the ladies, seeing how their leader had taken the risk of showing them how to harvest cores without knowing if it was dangerous, felt lucky to have such a leader. However, they were displeased that their leader was taking the risk when it should have been their job.
None of them moved from their place, as Ava hadn't given the order. They knew their strict Ava wouldn't let the leader go easily after witnessing what he had done without thinking of the consequences.
Just as they expected, Ava began giving him a polite lecture for more than 15 minutes about how wrong it was to do what he just did, and they all nodded in unison to show their support.
After finally getting his word that he wouldn't do that again, they left to harvest the cores from the zombie bodies.
Alicia was fuming, knowing her brother, whom she thought was smart, had done something so foolish. But before she could say anything, Ava had started her speech, and Alicia completely agreed with her, so she waited for her to finish with intense hatred building inside her. experience mvle,mp|y|r
Her anger only started to increase even more, so to calm herself a little and not lose control, she decided to burn the thing that was the root cause of her worry.
She focused on creating a thunder that could burn the zombie body in front of her to ashes as she concentrated on her magic with an intense hatred for the zombies.
Her body started to feel weak, but she didn't care, as she only wanted to erase the zombie from existence. After 30 seconds, when the others were already harvesting the zombie cores, a loud thunderous sound echoed.
Aiden, confused and thinking his sister would be fuming at him due to the misunderstanding, wondered, 'Why isn't she coming? Is she so angry that she doesn't even want to talk to me?'
'Hah, I have to reassure her now.'
He was about to turn and speak to her, but before he could say anything, he heard a loud thunderous sound louder than before, making him jump back in fear as his eardrums almost burst. He could only hear a beeping sound in his ears as he covered his head with his hands in fear.
He, like everyone else who heard the sound, frantically looked around, only to see smoke rising next to him. The body of the zombie he had searched earlier was now reduced to only bones, as everything else had disappeared.
He realized what had happened and knew who must be responsible, looking up to see his big sister standing a few meters away, her eyes swirling with a deep intensity that looked quite different to him as he heard her intense voice.
"Aiden, you shouldn't have done that. Look at what you made your big sis do."
Right after saying this, her body fell as she lost consciousness which made him shout.
"BIG SIS!!"
Aiden, seeing his big sis falling after losing consciousness, ran towards her as fast as he could to catch her before she hit the ground with an anxious expression on his face filled with worry.
