4 hours have passed, and I was still holding the gate against the zombies. I was waiting for another 2 hours to pass but before I could do so…
"Where… am I?" Caroline spoke as she woke up and tried to get up but watching her struggle, I believed she was too weak to even sit up right now.
-Bang!
-Bang!
-Bang!
The zombies were still banging against the door
"What is that?!!" I heard a sudden shout from Caroline as she tried her best to sit up.
"Sleep for now. You don't have the energy to even move and anything you do, will only make things harder. For both you and me," I spoke as I looked at her, hoping she would listen to me.
"Michael?" She spoke with a weak voice as she tried to turn towards me
"It is me. Sleep now, getting your strength back should be your priority. Leave the hard work to me," I spoke with an emotionless voice and she turned silent before asking,
"Can you at least tell me what is going on?"
I sighed in annoyance before speaking,"No."
After that, I did not hear her speaking anything more. I too just waited for the time to pass. I observed Caroline from time to time and thankfully she did not make any sounds any more.
And not long after.
[Ding!]

A smile widened on my face as I immediately moved towards the skill tab.

My eyes turned wide open when I saw the new skill I just acquired. My eyes then drifted to the skill points I have.

Not wasting any time, I put a single point in that skill to see its effects.
[Temporal Deceleration (Level 2)

I put another 5 points into it and
[Temporal Deceleration (Level 4)

[Skill points: 4]
I closed my eyes as I couldn't contain my excitement, but still, I didn't let this skill get over my head as I knew a single mistake will turn it all for naught.
'Now what to do with the other skill points? Let's see… If I upgrade the skill one more time, then I should be able to use the skill for 4 seconds. Though…'
I then put one of my stats into Intelligence and…
[Time Points: 60/70]
'Okay now I can use the skill for 4 seconds. If I put the 4 points into Temporal deceleration skill, I can make it last 5 seconds but… let's try something else.'
I then decided to put one in Dexterity for fast movement and a skill point in Active Time Regeneration before adding another in Eye of Time Keeper

"What the f*ck?!!" My eyes almost popped out of my sockets when I saw that skill.
I gulped a little before deciding if I should put another 2 points into it or not? Though… in the end, I added them, anyway. My priorities lie in surviving out of this room. Let's leave tomorrow's problem for tomorrow.

'Not what I was anticipating, but I guess this skill has its own uses,' I thought before looking at the time remaining for the door to break.
[2 hours: 12minutes]
"What are you doing?" Caroline spoke as she sat up on the bed. I saw her drinking the water from the bottle I kept beside her, along with last night's sandwich I found in the refrigerator.
While I can survive with the System's help, she still needed to eat to be able to do all the work I would be needing her to do.
"Waiting for you to get back your health. Are you better now?" I asked as I analysed her and she seemed fine to me now.
"Yeah, much better. Thank you," she spoke with slight embarrassment.
-Bang!
-Bang!
-Bang!
Hearing the constant noise, Caroline looked at me with worry before I spoke,
"Try to get up and open the balcony. There should be a few zombies on the other balcony connected to the living room. I need you to shout and attract as many as you can towards that balcony. If you can make them jump down and die, that would be even more helpful. Shouldn't be that hard now, right?"
She looked at me for a few seconds as she tried to understand what I was planning to do. Once she understood everything, she nodded before moving towards the balcony.
'I guess it's about time, I got my Inspect skill.'
