God of Time System: Harem in the Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter 148 South City Underground Dungeon

After using the Skill so many times, I still didn't feel any problem honestly. If there was something, it was probably me feeling a bit dizzy? But it wasn't anything I couldn't handle.

'I think I can keep doing this for another hour or so,' I thought as I moved towards the place where there were more zombies.

Irene behind me was just walking slowly as she kept observing me with her eyes still a bit scared.

"You are not going to ask any questions?" I asked in her stead and she just looked at me before speaking,"Am I allowed to?"

"Hmm? Why not? I mean, if it's something that I don't want to tell, I probably won't tell. Not like I am going to eat you for asking questions. Or more like, the way you are looking at me with that piercing gaze, trying to understand me is kinda irking me out a little, so I figured it would be better to answer your questions… or something like that," I spoke as I kept walking and killing zombies left and right.

After a few seconds of silence, she looked deep into my eyes and asked,"what are you? You aren't a zombie… neither are you a human… It's not like I am going to go against you even if you are the devil… but at least can you answer this?"

"Well… for your answer. Believe it or not, I am a human. Though as for my powers… that is something that I cannot tell," I answered her and she looked at me before sighing in slight relief.

"Is that so?" She spoke as her smile returned slowly before she continued,"I am guessing you had your fair share of adventures?"

"Something like that," I answered her as I slashed another zombie. Maybe I could practice those slashes here in the real world? Though on a second thought, I decided not to do that… I still don't know how powerful that slash is.

Maybe I might end up doing more damage than required… I sighed before moving towards the place where that A-Grade Core was supposed to be located.

While I was killing the zombies, I asked Irene to take charge and show me the way, which she did without much questions and both of us moved towards it. Not too late,  we reached a certain place which was… ordinary?

Though Irene, after searching around for a few moments, moved to a certain place and started removing all the heavy rocks from that location. And as she cleared that area, her eyes started gleaming more and more.

And as if the System was waiting for it too…

'Okay… is this good news or bad news?' I thought as I looked carefully at the quest. There were 2 S Grade Zombies in one quest and another one, Voltaire, in the other,

'Or both the quests are talking about the same S-Grade?' I thought as I looked more deeply into their description.

Meanwhile, Irene had already opened the path to the underground tunnel that looked really dark and ominous. Good thing we had that UV-Lamp.

'We just need to make sure nothing happens to this UV-Lamp or we are more or less f*cked inside there,' I thought with a bit of wry expression on my face.

"This way," Irene spoke before she observed my expression with a bit of curiosity. Putting her finger on her chin, she asked curiously,

"What happened? Did something unexpected happen?"

"Kind of… Hmmm… I wonder if we should postpone-" I was thinking of moving in after I leveled up once more, and maybe help Irene gain another powerup but before I could speak…

"F*CKING FINALLY FOUND YOU!!!" A voice came from a distance as I saw dozens of men on motorcycles moving towards us at a rapid speed.

"Who are they?" I asked with a bit of curiosity as I saw them approaching us. Irene looked at them with a devilish smile as she answered,

"Mallorn's men."

However, her eyes widened a little as she saw something or someone among them and she mumbled,"Blood… manipulator?"

'Hmmm.. one of the A-Grades that travels all by himself,' I thought as I looked at those men from far away. Reading their status, I couldn't help but chuckle a little. That settles the problem of Cronas.

"Irene… my b*tch, so this is where…" The guy who seemed to be the leader of the group was speaking before he analyzed Irene and his eyes widened as he almost fell down the motorcycle.

For a few seconds, he and the others were just looking at Irene wondering what just happened. Perhaps they saw the change in the power level of Irene and couldn't believe what they were looking at. As for Irene, she was more concentrated on the Blood Manipulator.

As for the Blood Manipulator, standing with his emotionless face, he was more focused on me than Irene.

The leader guy then spoke,"How did a b*tch get so strong in a single day? This is a bluff, isn't it?"

His smile was slowly coming back as he observed Irene and then he ordered one of his men to move and capture Irene… though everyone was hesitating. Well, no one wanted to risk their life here just because of a speculation.

And looking at the cowardice of the people around the leader, the guy spoke out angrily,"if no one is going, then… you… you have been hired to protect us… surely helping us to capture this girl won't fall off too far from the agreement? Capture that girl. I order you."

The one being ordered, the Blood Manipulator, moved one step at a time making the leader smile a little. Though the smile vanished as he saw the guy moving not towards Irene, but towards me.

Even Irene was confused as she focused and moved in between me and that guy.

Though that guy just kept walking with his ever so emotionless face. He crossed Irene who couldn't even move and reaching about 2 meters away from me, he smiled… ever so brightly.

"Sir Michael! Welcome back!" He spoke in a cheerful voice and I answered with a smile,

"Glad to see you alive too, George. Seems like you had it rough in the last 6 months."
