Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Chapter 342: Regret nothing. [1/2]

Running as I carried the FT5 and HCAR was troublesome. Even with [Eagle Eye], firing as the reticule's bounced was also hard. I switched to using the F90's and blasted zombies with both 5.56 NATO and 40mm Low velocity grenades.

I shot zombies dead while moving. My guns never ran out of ammunition as explosions reigned all around me.

'I feel like an action star in war movie,' I joked.

I eventually caught up to Lilly who was similarly shooting like the main heroine in a Hollywood block buster.

"So glad you made it dear, were you worried about me?" Lilly teased with a gorgeous smile.

"Yes," I answered curtly.

"Oh…"

Despite running faster than a Olympic sprinter her breathing was even, and not even a bead of sweat was on her face. Noticing my deep gaze, she blushed as she tried to change the subject.

"Such focus, did you perhaps fall for my good looks once again?"

"Yes. You are breathtakingly beautiful Lilly."

"W-Wha…"

Staggering as if she tripped, Lilly lost her balance. I quickly dropped one of my rifles and ran to support her. Because of {Limitless} I managed to pick up my lover by her waist without breaking my stride.

"Are you alright dear?" I asked with concern.

"Uhm, yes. I-I am okay. You can put me down now."

It was very amusing to see a noble person like Lilly behave like this. Filled with love, I gave her luscious lips a soft kiss before letting her go. My woman tensed up like frightened cat when our lips touched.

"I love you, Lilly."

Less than a second later I let her go gently. Regaining her footing, Lilly gazed at me with eyes full of longing. It was an experience only I could relish. Flirting with a mesmerizing woman as undead and bullets clashed around us.

"Dear, I must say, compared to the average man, you confess your love quite often. I was told men hardly say their love through words but more through action."

"Should I stop?"

"Ah no, I like it actually, which woman wouldn't want to hear such things. I was just curious why you do it so often. Did you also shower Caroline with such affection every day?"

Hearing about my ex made me contemplate. Most men didn't say much but would die for their women. When I was human, I was probably the same. I hardly told Caroline through words, but I made sure my actions did.

Unfortunately, actions tend to be taken for granted. Paying for her food, picking her up, supporting her even when she didn't ask, I did everything I could possibly think of. Yet she thought it was just me being nice, and she demanded more.

'This is why they said nice guys finish last.'

When I died, I made a single promise. I would live this life for me. And I will never allow myself to die full of regrets a second time. Thus, I decided to change.

The thing that always filled my mind was that, If I died tomorrow, what would I regret the most?

The answer to this question became my guide.

One of the things I would regret was not telling my harem how much I loved them. So, every time I could. I would. If I died right now, they would be no room for doubt about how much they mean to me.

Lilly who noticed the changes in my expression had a sad look on her face.

"Dear…"

However, before she could say anything I interrupted her.

"I didn't. Like most men I showed it through my actions. But as that approach didn't work, so I now do it differently. Every moment I am reminded of how much I adore you; I will say it out loud."

"…"

"This is so that even if I died at this moment, I would regret nothing."

"Hmph. You think like an old man dear. You vastly underestimate me and my sisters if you think you will die anytime soon!" Lilly chastised.

It was a bit morbid but it was true. There were just somethings you needed to die first in order to understand. The importance of time and the pain of regret were only two of them.

Lilly and I no longer made small talk and focused on the battle. The bulk of the zombies were still following Sabel's Skydio and Puma drones which were flying low. Sabel was intentionally circling around causing the zombies to gather in a huge circle.

The effective time of the {Honey Trap} soulgear was erratic. It depended solely on how many sniffed what it released. The more zombies it lured, the shorter the duration would be.

It seemed that Sabel understood this. The AI was never stayed in the same place for long. By flying constantly, the wind diffused the scents more evenly.

'I wonder if Bella was the one who made the call or was it Sabel herself.'

As we ran, I noticed Lilly and I had a large lead from the rest of the army. The squads of the 2nd Amendment were doing combat glides which were designed to be slow but accurate.

Lilly and I who had Robyn's {Fates} were significantly faster than them. And as we also had Jasmine's {Fates} despite our speed none of our shots missed.

If this was a game, the Sirens and I would be SSS class gacha characters and the army would be trash class Bs.

Probably as they were the nearest people to us, I vaguely heard the voices from Jo and Liv.

"Freyja. How do you feel?"

"HAHAHAHA! My blood is on fire!"

"WOW! The Sirens are all battle junkies huh? Hey! Keep up little sisters! You're too slow!"

"We are trying Big sis!" Yvonne yelled looking pitiful.

"Ah! I have an idea! {WOLVES! I COMMAND YOU TO RUN FASTER THAN YOUR LEGS CAN CARRY YOU!}"

"WAHHHHHH!!!! YES, BIG SIS!" x11

I turned my head towards the Commando unit and saw Yvonne, Aisha and the rest of Vela's Wolves gaining speed. They no longer took pot shots and ran as if their lives depended on it.

It seems that similar our situation even Phantoms had a hard time keeping up.

"It seems that we need to augment our special forces. This is unacceptable." I heard Lilly murmur. This was of course as she fired the M60 one handed.

The M60 was known as the pig because of its resiliency to eat rounds without taking breaks. Even when the barrel deformed from firing or when it ran out of ammo, it took less than three minutes to resume dispensing freedom.

This was why three people normally manned the thing. You needed a full-grown man to carry just bullets so the weapon can be used effectively. Most people considered that fact an issue.

The other main problem with using the M60 was the danger of going deaf. Lastly, the was the gasses that the weapon emitted upon firing for so long. It could burn or poison the gunner if exposed for longer periods.

Lilly who had a subspace that was as big as swimming pool, had no issues with ammunition. With [Top up] the program Bella created; she didn't even need to manually reload.

{Limitless} and {Dampen} ensured she would not go deaf. Finally, Phantoms did not even need to breathe. Thus, the smoke and gasses from the rounds couldn't do shit.

All these factors made Lilly the perfect user for the pig.

Seeing her blast the shit out of zombies was endearing.

My American lover had her other hand outstretched as {Portals} kept opening in various places. When I analyzed the trajectories of her bullets I grew speechless.

Lilly already showed me this technique when she fought alone but it was still impressive.

The woman who created {Store} would fire into her subspace and then use {Portal} to change the direction of the rounds. The fact did not take into account that she always "retrieved" her rounds using {Portal}.
