Chapter 76 Leaving out?
It was early in the morning when Dilan woke up.
He didn’t hesitate to get up from the ground, though a sting prevented him from moving too rapidly.
However, when Dilan looked down at his naked upper body, he quickly understood that the sting was just from the new and thin layer of skin that had formed over the two injuries he had inflicted on himself.
Using his Origin ability four times in succession, he felt as if his entire body had been reborn.
A faint smile covered his lips when he noticed that he could finally move however he wanted.
There was only the slight itch owing to the scabbing of his wound. But that was not really something he had to pay any attention to.
‘I can really heal fast…If I want to, I could injure myself lethally twice a day…’
Even Dilan had to agree that this was kind of scary.
As such, he shuddered once before he got his act together.
Dilan was still wearing the Clawed Gloves as he picked up the Captain’s sword.
He didn’t even think of putting down the Clawed Gloves. Though they were not only comfortable to wear, they were very powerful.-.
Using them, Dilan could move rapidly, entering a state in which he could slaughter opponents to his heart’s content.
And that was exactly what he planned to do today.
Oliver and the others were still sound asleep.
That was no problem under normal circumstances, but they had a lot to do today.
As such, it was necessary for them to use every single minute of sunlight to their advantage.
‘I think I saw that we have an electrician amongst the new Survivors based on the list…if we find the hospital’s emergency power back-up, it should be possible to work something out!’
Getting their hands on fuel wouldn’t be a problem because there were, at least, 300 cars in the parking lot.
They belonged to the employees and patients of the Rian mountainside hospital.
With enough fuel near them, there shouldn’t be a problem.
Taking that into consideration, Dilan approached the noticeboard that was located right next to the sliding door of the cafeteria’s kitchen.
Dilan thought of writing a few things that had to be done for the other Survivors who would stay back..
Amongst these things were procuring fuel with the help of some Ascenders that would protect them, finding the hospital’s blueprint in order to search for the emergency generator’s location, and conducting proper research through the entire first floor.
Dilan asked the survivors to comb through the second, third, and fourth floor of their tower in search of food and other necessities, but only when he and the others were able to ensure the absence of monsters on the third floor.
They had run past the third floor several times but didn’t encounter any other monster except the Chimera Zombie Centaur.
However, that didn’t mean there was no other monster lurking in the dark.
Thus, it was on Dilan to take a proper look and ensure the safety of those who would venture on the said floors.
He kept writing down a few things the Survivors should do, such as working out to keep themselves fit.
It would be an utter waste if all of their stats were high but their body was skinny like a stick, or fat like a walrus.
Dilan didn’t have anything against chubby, or skinny people.
But when it was about the safety of other people, it was important for the Ascenders to understand that they endangered their own life and that of others if they were to be unable to move their bodies to the full extent of their true capabilities.
This was not something that involved only the new Survivors but Oliver and the others as well.
Oliver was still too skinny, but the young man understood that already.
As such, there was no need for Dilan to say anything to him.
Once he was done writing everything, Dilan moved towards the mattresses of Ailee, Sara, Pierre, and Oliver.
He woke them up by snapping his finger against their ears.
Holding their heads for the next few minutes, they got up groggily, while rubbing their tired eyes.
“Why didn’t you wake up Kathrine as well? I thought she wanted to go out with us as well?”
Sarah asked this, not sure how to feel that he didn’t wake up Kathrine.
Was she more important to Dilan or less important?
Understanding Dilan was quite difficult, so Sarah had no idea what exactly the truth was.
“She just reunited with her sister. We should give them a little bit more time, don’t you think so?” Dilan asked while smiling faintly, just to add,
“Furthermore, if Kathrine joins us, will you be able to get as much Essence as you would like?”
Sarah and Pierre were at the lowest level in their entire group.
Even the new Survivors might be able to get stronger than them once their minds adjusted to the sensation of killing.
Clearly understanding that Dilan was giving Kathrine some time with her sister, while simultaneously giving them the chance to charge up to Kathrine motivated them.
“In that case, where are we going this morning? You said that you wanted to kill the stronger monsters on the higher floors. Are we going to do this for the entire morning before we lead the other Survivors through the floors where we have left only low-leveled zombies alive?”
Ailee was now fully awake and motivated to leave the cafeteria, but it was at this moment that Kathrine appeared behind her.
“So you guys want to leave without me?!” She asked all of a sudden, causing Ailee to exclaim in shock.
She had not heard Kathrine tiptoe behind her and had to cover her mouth with her hands so as not to curse out instinctively.
“I wouldn’t put it like that, but yes, we will leave without you. In the end, we need someone to look after the Survivors as well.
And your sister needs you more than we do during the hunt.”
Dilan didn’t feel embarrassed that Kathrine appeared all of a sudden.
He had already sensed that she didn’t sleep soundly last night. As such, it was not really a surprise for her to wake up after hearing their whispered discussions.
Kathrine was still tired. But even then, she could clearly understand the intention behind every single word Dilan said.
Thus, she nodded her head, before turning around once again.
She walked back to Yvonne, whose hands were roaming all over the mattress, searching for the familiar warmth of her sister.
“I will take care of everything, and we will join you guys in the afternoon hunt!”
Kathrine had heard their discussion while she had pretended to be asleep.
As such, she knew what they planned for the afternoon.
With Yvonne’s health in her mind, Kathrine decided that it was time for her to fight. She would hunt a powerful monster at or below level seven, and Yvonne could go on a carnage with the use of the [Angel of Death]!
This was a simple, but very efficient plan she had in mind.
Thus, there was no need for Kathrine to throw herself in a dangerous situation right now.
Taking care of her sister was a priority for her, just like Dilan said.
Once Dilan and the others saw that Kathrine went back to sleep beside her sister, they collected the weapons they needed for the hunt before leaving the cafeteria.
