Chapter 80: 80. Out to hunt and train
"Ah, how come I didn't know about her?" Hannah bent to look at Lily very well to see if there is any resemblance.
"Big sister Hannah." Lily said and Hannah chuckled when she heard that.
"Seems like you already told her about me." Hannah looked up at Dexter.
"Not actually." Dexfer said.
"Hope you guys are ready?" Dexter asked and they all looked at each other, meanwhile Lily smiled.
"Ready for what?" Tracy asked.
"Ah, to venture into the run down city." Dexter said with a smile.
"What?! It's full of monsters and humane monsters!" Hannah said out loud.
"Don't worry. We'll be fine as long as he's there." Tracy put a hand on her friend's shoulder and she then looked at Dexter.
"Is it alright taking her? She's just a child." Tracy pointed at Lily.
"Ah, sister. Are you challenging me?" Lily said in an innocent tone.
"No, no, no." Tracy denied. "I mean that it's not okay to take a child to a place filled with--"
"It'll be okay." Dexter said as he walked passed them while holding Hannah's hand.
"W... wait!!" Tracy followed them from behind.
"Dexter."
"Hm?" Dexter turned towards Hannah to sew that she had a frightened expression.
"Don't worry. It's better to start getting stronger now since I may not always be around." Dexter said and she frowned.
But what he said really made sense. When she and Tracy were still in the school campus, she remembered the students dying like flies and she could be one of them if Dexter didn't show up.
"Now, let me explain a few things, starting from the spirit interface." Dexter cleared his throat as he began to explain all about power levels, Heaven's tower, spirit points and other stats.
...
"So that's how things are now." Dexter said, concluding his explanation.
The girls seemed to be having a hard time taking it in.
'They should adapt to the current situation as fast as possible.' Dexter thought. 'Rest in peace Laurence. According to what he said, the monsters would evolve in the second phase of the tiran impact. If that happens and they are still on level 1, they might die.'
Dexter casted a glance towards the girls behind him.
"Hey, Dexter!!" Chapman came from the side with a cup of... something.
"Hey, Chapman. What are you drinking?" Dexter asked and Chapman sighed.
"It's just cold coffee." Chapman said tiredly. And Dexter chuckled.
Dexter then looked behind him and around before asking, "Where are the others?"
"They're resting or sleeping right now. We'll hunt again tomorrow." Chapman said again as he looked behind Dexter to see the three girls.
"You guys with Dexter?" He asked.
"Yeah. Yes we are." Tracy said and Hannah looked at Chapman from head to toe before nodding.
"I'm guessing she's your girlfriend." Chapman pointed at Tracy and Dexter just laughed out loud.
"Nah, she's too crazy for me." Dexter grinned.
Tracy looked at Dexter with an annoyed expression and Hannah only chuckled at the situation.
"Hi. I'm Hannah. This man's girlfriend." Hannah introduced herself and Chapman was in shock.
He then went to Dexter and whispered in his ears.
"Have you guys done the act yet?" Chapman asked.
Dexter gestured for Chapman to come close and began to whisper.
"No, we were planning to get married after we graduate. Also, it's an apocalypse, who would think of such things?" Dexter said while whispering.
"I would. I have only done it twice. Right now hope is fading away, so I treat everyday as if it is my last." Chapman said while no longer whispering.
Dexter looked behind Chapman to see a guy forcefully take away another person's plate of food and he really believed that he had to grow stronger to survive in this world.
'There's no place for the weak in this new world. Only the strongest shall survive and rebuild.' Dexter thought as he looked at the weak child whose food was taken away with pity.
After that they made their way into the run down city, walking amongst the destroyed buildings.
"Stop." Dexter did and they all stopped.
"There are ten zombies not far from here, so who's going first?" Dexter casted a glance backwards and the two girls swallowed saliva.
"G... going first?" Tracy stuttered.
"Hehehe. He means who wants to go first in killing their first zombie." Lily chuckled.
"This little girl, what do you know? Those zombies are terrifying." Tracy frowned at Lily's carefree behavior.
Lily wasn't too excited about hunting zombies, the real challenge was monsters like the one Dexter has a hard time defeating the day before.
"They're not that terrifying." Lily shrugged as she looked at the zombies who were ripping apart a creature.
Tracy and Hannah were shocked at Lily's words and they both looked at Dexter.
"What? She's been through a lot." Dexter smiled bitterly.
"Kill one as an example." Dexter said to Lily and she nodded before walking towards the zombies.
She was in better clothes as she already went to Heaven's tower again after she reached level 10 a while ago. She wore black battle attire which had green lines running on parts of it.
As she walked towards the zombies, golden lights flashed on her arms and two gauntlets appeared. At that moment Lily felt a sudden rush of strength.
"Will she be okay?" Tracy asked.
"What's that on her arms?" Hannah asked.
"She'll be okay. The weapon on her arms are for defence." Dexter smirked.
"Dexter do something, they're going to hurt her." Hannah pulled Dexter's hand but he just vanished from his position and appeared a few metres ahead of them on top another shadow.
"Settle down. The zombies can't hurt her." Dexter said as he yawned tiredly.
"Teaching is so much stress." Dexter mumbled as he stretched his arms.
"Just watch!"
"Dexter, what are--"
*Bang!!*
Hannah and Tracy were stunned as they just watched the little girl punch a zombie and sent it flying almost fifty metres away in a direction.
