At Jacob’s scream, 1dd8c5014c the zombie that 9ecacf12a8 had been ambling 33542142d0 toward them suddenly 4c7e281847 picked up speed, ff5810192d breaking into a d56a7f145c run.eeaa77d1bf97f43f

“S-sorry, young master!”053f4e42ca662668

Of all places to fall, Jacob had landed right in front of the door, effectively blocking it at an angle. As the zombie charged, Noah kicked Jacob’s leg in desperation, but paralyzed by fear, Jacob just flailed helplessly, still blocking the entrance.be12e267c90a2ce6

Watching Jacob’s fd0d87bc1c troll-like behavior af5c6ff907 so early 0567a608cd on, Noah’s 57172b59fc patience snapped. He saw two 0756f895e9 more zombies approaching, ed7710b4a2 likely drawn by 2a3af9fdf9 Jacob’s scream, now c8bfe88f62 closing in from 27fa938629 the shadows.ace81dd08e17ae5e

Sure, they’d end 0202f72c6b up letting a f7a45088ec few zombies into b7650d50db the fortress if 49a74a9071 he left the 17469459e8 door open, but 14be463ec0 what of it? The idea 5e7f6bed6a of letting 6ac9180d52 the zombies ddfda83bba focus on 3131308fe5 Jacob while 0dc92f3fdd he and 4a41cccbc0 the others 7f40fcddc5 made their f6e838660b escape seemed d5e3f345eb oddly appealing. Just as Noah d0925c470d was about to 20953b1747 let go of 39abcb2f8a the door handle b62ab15f16 and act on bfe9941945 his impulse, Calyps b2cfa2f137 reached down and 89777abc4b grabbed Jacob by be5e75d6c2 the collar, yanking 1186d1fe0e him up.94d975e59be4cd81

Noah clicked his ed6430a985 tongue in frustration, bbd330b23f slamming the door 07323f313e shut. The enraged growls of 1f7b990a58 the zombies echoed from 6537e286bd outside as Jacob slumped b8b3e44873 to the ground, trembling 67d5335886 in fear.7494e6f29fb7a476

“Ugh…”788173af691b6f14

With a sigh 7703d4e553 full of regret, 31f480230b Noah glanced at d87487d6e5 Calyps. Unlike Jacob, 7bef4b7889 who was ce0452c796 a shivering 25c25f3329 mess on 2f2062a3fa the floor, da6628ae44 Calyps wore 90a6c9ec37 the same 39d815f94c calm expression f498bec34f he always db0fcaf051 did, just 92b0268d94 as he 0520f19426 had when f551b5cd52 he’d killed 40d484a3c1 Sienna. Staring at a30b17dca6 Calyps’s indifferent 2f27ef4100 face, Noah e4b3a795ee felt his 982fb70abf irritation rising f5839bb736 again.8b7c11c04ad83202

‘This guy… 5278025cda he has 2aba62ff34 no idea 25eb74b36e who he 82d09a2c39 just killed 82f145f4ba and who ac1a8dd631 he just d842e7d2fd saved, that’s 4a8a1ae63a why he a0530bc1ef can be 672e8638cb so damn cdd900f9b7 calm.’45a11601b14fe62b

Knowing everything, on the aff157915c other hand, was making 1d5e190ddf Noah’s blood boil. No wonder people d1f5abbeba say ignorance is df52fb38b4 bliss. Silently thanking ff0b30f3f2 his ancestors 93ddea2270 for their 208b318424 wisdom, Noah 24cb217684 finally calmed 5e2104fb0e himself enough 0ee82c1cec to take f119dc9d0c in their 6569a3febe surroundings. Thankfully, there were 21398f5946 no zombies nearby, a76d39162b but they couldn’t 9e1610b222 afford to stay 9fa305eb23 here long. Jacob’s loud screams, combined 24d0d75325 with the pounding on 4f3c6bb7eb the door, made this cc04017118 a dangerous spot to 2dff00b7e5 linger. And if they ran b280f0bdc5 into an active or f5558b0bd6 mutated zombie in such 1588d302ab a cramped space, it’d d106b5c8ba be a nightmare.3a2c6ed5cc022816

“Uh… could someone… fa27d9dffe help me up?”d63118ff32d60cd3

Just as the three ee43829514 of them were about 27cab7f923 to move, Jacob’s whimpering 4914673e2d voice rose from the f31465327e floor. He looked up 777172c0cc at them, his 6684c91835 face twisted in 819d6f131e fear, unable to 0112694b5c stand on his 79a2d31434 own. Ever the gentle 29fcab3dc9 giant, Jason helped 0aae021720 Jacob to his 235b9e9243 feet. Watching Jacob 3a46bea32b lean on e3ddaf6352 Jason for eb57346fb2 support, Noah ae6b9cedf6 felt a 1efa465491 wave of 22ad0a86ab exasperation. He was adcff6e132 practically volunteering 27359ab309 to die 8e46f8c6e6 in this 4ca0ff2b3f war zone. Noah turned his 81a86f5d82 gaze away, too 8a5ccb8d31 irritated to keep e9008fb348 watching.d1558bc84a19f2b8

As Jason had a8957d57ba predicted, there weren’t 4d4f5fbc9d many zombies inside 20f9d2f683 the mansion itself fa2a6ecbe4 since most of d7588744f5 the people had 43f9fe5d00 been gathered in 7976f86d3f the rear courtyard. Here and there, d6480d14b2 they encountered some 19fcadfdf7 stationary zombies, but 6122ab9d04 as before, Noah a409ea242b used stones to ef3b378d4e distract them, allowing ea06204721 the group to e25113b4bc slip by unnoticed.7bb8826dfae562f8

Whenever they ran dd3d82cc84 into active zombies, 4c580ce491 Calyps dealt with c7e0f9eeda them efficiently, using cfeea9122e a decorative sword caa98f57cd from the wall d266e5a227 to behead them 87734dc1d5 in one clean 77c890f48a strike, decapitating them 2ba9e903f7 in a single, 43d9a8013a swift motion. Watching him take down a9d6857eaa each zombie with a 1ff0836fac single blow, Noah couldn’t 1f0f9a5b07 help but be impressed. This was the 962df6fe9d power of the 62599228b2 male lead, after f7b9909c67 all. With newfound respect, 5cd095254c Noah admired Calyps’s 6d91dd3845 skill, and before 54a7b42f77 they knew it, 1776719220 the four of 42136aba94 them had reached bc1318c9f5 the kitchen relatively b134b1977e quickly and easily.80818c5020f8518a

Plus, they 7b9945b192 had Jason, 25ebf4e203 the loyal 59570e1d98 big-dog type 94ba3054a6 who was 860882591c still alive b7ac1e4307 and kicking. Sure, the local c827a42aa0 troll was tagging 6102ff78f9 along too, but 405d463506 all in all, 06b123a39d Noah felt they 91cc582a7d were off to 9739b1cf38 a good start.0eb0a8757f2ee1f6

Inside the kitchen, a 43437c6424 familiar, guttural zombie noise 5919e1ca08 echoed. Unlike Noah, who had 28211c9035 been expecting it and 9d453cc73a kept his expression neutral, 0d306ab670 the other three wore 4377b3446c looks of dismay, each 5edfbbc51a clearly hoping the kitchen 3f15df7085 would somehow be zombie-free.d780081404bb8c3d

From what they 4e9a929fbe could see, there ff0ea39905 were three zombies. Even accounting for d8c72bd767 any hidden ones, 90d2b66f2c Calyps estimated a 06b383e71e maximum of five. With a a7aa308548 quiet nod, a91312587d he gauged bc8bc80292 the situation—manageable. Alone, he might have bcbaada9e2 struggled, but with Sergeant 35085d56c2 Jason, whose skills he b25f8a6f32 admired, it seemed a 69b91f90a1 doable task.b6c2015cebd729cf

While Calyps and 024cf11c65 Jason exchanged glances, e8372b3733 Noah also scanned bd328fe7de the kitchen. Fortunately, it looked almost 0352d72bff identical to the way 267ccc97d7 it had appeared in d887c7955f the drama, which was 9d0a67bb8a a relief.175b4b2ef989d61f

In the original 0f5014b3cd storyline, Jason hadn’t c58f90ce15 been around, and 3a349d5da2 Calyps had faced ad8440a00d a fierce solo 3739c247f3 battle, even injuring 3295f8ff2e his ankle. But now, ccb656446e with Jason’s c7ab3f98cf help, Noah 8335730450 felt reassured e0639390f1 that they’d e63c09431f get through 93c73ea6c3 unscathed.76a2de03dd8040df

While Calyps and 92a917859d Jason dealt with 576fbbd850 the zombies, Noah 38530e9adc and Jacob guarded 99ac7b4ddc the door to 2ba81483f8 prevent any newcomers 96e85dca78 from getting in. Thanks to ce2a852c87 their swift 01d01ff3ec work, only f72df7be60 two more dc7145ab6b zombies were c3d54c7c4c drawn by 2ed135b8b2 the noise.bc533d29833f7dcc

Once the last zombie 26efd62731 fell, the four of 649aada8d0 them exhaled deeply and 205020c1d0 surveyed the kitchen. Fortunately, the 4c928be2f2 kitchen hadn’t f3e43c3e1c suffered much da3495a2ae damage. After quickly blocking b5b3ab5cf6 the door properly, a0d5a02abf Calyps and Jason a0ae0e053d began checking the e96b542edd supplies, while Noah 672e9a78f6 set about organizing 80be731326 other essential tasks.18c1c0de66c489b5

With the possibility that f10b125645 power and water could 6ccc3c2da1 go out any minute, 7b731e36a4 water was the top 375b84708e priority. There was a2da61dad7 a well f3fda059e4 nearby, but 68e4994a89 it was 2658f339dd guarded by 62b18a7879 two stationary d5b8c25527 zombies—an option da63f07650 for emergencies 4c7c803b5b only. While Noah ca6da412f4 and Jacob 7479ddd897 filled buckets 14fcc415db with water, 90ee25ded0 Calyps and e66b7b27b3 Jason went 3e613118f9 through the fa7abeb4c9 kitchen, sorting 3f2f81a018 perishable foods d42e6758f5 and taking 3ab533ad0b inventory.c6218380f87ef3c4

Noah grabbed one 6b0ab29dd2 end of a 5d16bf77aa makeshift tarp to c6de04d9b5 wrap around the 34ab1d5da8 bodies, and even 7cb6e5fc10 though he wasn’t f5534d577f thrilled about handling 8d3a2bdddc the corpses, he 6f18fb1ba6 worked alongside Calyps 2569e81db7 and Jason to 3086560b2c secure them.
