Vampire God in the Apocalypse

Chapter 7: 7. Getting to know each other

Seeing the bag that Dexter strapped on his back the rest of them were surprised as he still carried a bag while transferring through the valley of zombies.

"So what's in the bag?" Zain asked and Leo and Rina shot angry glances at him.

"Oh don't worry. It's just filled with food and other necessities. " Dexter wasn't sacred anymore.

He was ranking in five digits so he didn't even think any of them would be able to match him in strength and speed.

'Their weapons though.' He looked at the weapons which had a shimmering look to it.

"So where did you guys get the weapons?" Dexter asked comfortable, now that he knew that he was stronger than them.

"Oh, these. There was a large serpent monster that we killed by blowing it up with gas." Rina perked her lips and just sighed. "Then the Tiran or whatever they call it gave us these weapons as a reward for defeating a creature at a higher rank than us."

Dexter nodded in understanding.

'Does that technique count as a weapon? Or can a person get different types of things.'

He turned to Leo to confirm but seeing the dude's cold face he looked at Zain instead.

"So, I saw how you split the monkey into two halves. Was that a technique?!"

"Shhh... don't be loud. The zombies are attracted to sound." Leo said and looked around warily.

"I'm suspecting you only came out of hiding today. But what I used was not a technique, it was a skill called hell fire." Zain boasted.

Dexter knew that Leo also had a skill like Zain but Leo has been giving him cold glances ever since they met.

'If what he used was a skill, then what is a technique?' Dexter pondered.

There was no way to know unless he learnt the technique 'son of the sun' but he wasn't going to try to learn it. Nope, he felt like he was close to death last time.

After a while they stopped at a fuel station and decided to rest there for the day and went in after cutting the chains open.

Dexter still had his bag behind him and he just sat at a corner while switching on his phone to make a call.

"What? No network?" He furrowed his brows as he wasn't able to connect with Hannah or his brothers due to the network being down.

"Yeah, the connection towers were destroyed a few hours ago, so no network." Rina said and then sat beside him.

"Here." She handed him a load of bread. "I know you have enough in your bag but we have a lot so here."

Dexter smiled and switched off his phone while taking the bread with a happy smile.

"Thanks." He was greedy... and shameless.

"So are you guys going to find your families too?" Dexter asked, chewing on the sweet bread.

The three of them looked at each other with raised brows.

"We grew up as orphans. Yeah, the orphanage blew up with the snake we told you about." Rina smiled sadly.

"But... weren't they people inside?"

"Dead. Killed before we killed the snake." Leo said this time without looking at Dexter as he sharpened his sword with a sharpening stone.

Dexter too had no words for them as he began to think deeply about his step for the next day. Unfortunately, Rina wasn't going to let him rest tonight.

"So what kind of people are your family?" Rina asked.

Dexter looked at her with a raised brow but sighed as he began talking.

"My mom is currently out of the country. My two brothers are currently in Serene area. Although I haven't spoken to them." Dexter smiled lightly.

He actually forgot to call his brothers but immediately called his girlfriend first. Which was not very brotherly of him.

'They can take care of themselves anyway. They also specialize in martial arts.'

"Wow. Two brothers? That's amazing." Rina had sparkles in her eyes.

"It's not amazing actually. They are quite annoying at times, and the rest of the time they are just... them."

Rina giggled as she looked at his face very well.

"You seem like a nice person." She smiled.

Dexter was taken aback... nice? Who?

"Haha. I'm actually very wicked. But I guess I changed a bit." He laughed.

Traveling alone on the zombie crowded streets would be very perilous. But now that he was traveling with these three individuals, he was kind of glad.

"Don't get too attached to him Rina." Leo said coldly as he shot both of them a glance.

"But why?" Rina pouted like a child as she stood up and went to hug Leo from behind.

"I'm not saying we can't be friends, but just keep it at a decent level." Leo warned as he kept his sword by the side and Rina ruffled his shoulder length black hair while giggling.

"Don't worry." She then came back to sit beside Dexter.

"Hope you aren't annoyed." She said with her usual smile.

"I'm not."

"Yeah." She then began to speak in a low tone. "Out of all of us he didn't grow up as an orphan and lost his parents in an accident when he was just 12. And now he doesn't want us to separate or even allow another person into his life."

"Oh." Dexter nodded in understanding.

He then looked at Zain who was just reading a book with a serious expression on his face.

"You're reading?" Dexter said, causing Leo and Rina to look at Zain.

"Well, I didn't have the chance to go to school and only learned basic english. So I'm self taught." Zain had a bitter smile on his face.

"I was also working to save up for a college but now that the world has changed, I guess I can kiss the dream goodbye. Haha." Zain laughed lowly.

"What about you?" The bulky guy asked him.

Dexter sighed. "I was an author."

"Wait. You write books?" Rina couldn't believe it.

"Yeah. But only fiction webnovels."

Tina and Zain seemed confused by his words.

"What is fiction?" Zain finally asked after a few seconds.

Dexter facepalmed as he forgot that the muscular guy and Rina didn't have any opportunity to go to school.

"Um. Things that are not real."

"Oh. I get it now." Rina nodded.

"I would like to read. But since it's on web, that means it's gone, just like that." Zain felt pity for him.

"It doesn't matter much now." Dexter shrugged.

That night he and Rina talked about other stuff and Dexter was tortured as he had to talk a lot.

Rina was a damn talkative. She couldn't keep her mouth shut. But she was sweet as well.
