Chapter 113 Meeting The Survivors
"Circle around here to reach the back of the uni. The numbers of zombies should be less at the back," William spoke as we almost reached the front gate of the university. Hearing William\'s voice, Jeff took a turn and while we tracked around the university, I observed the situation.
\'The number of zombies are more around the front gate… is there something there? Hmmmm… \' My eyes concentrated on the area around the university.
There were a few zombies on the side road, but mostly they were dispersed, so it was easy to travel through them. My eyes looked around to see if there was anything that I should keep an eye out for.
"Take another left," William was guiding Jeff through the area before we reached near a certain building where the zombies were moving towards. Unlike the front of the uni, their numbers were less, but still, all of them were collectively moving towards that building.
\'The survivors must be there,\' I thought as I observed the building.
"It\'s the med lab building, where most of the experiments and stuff happens. We thought that other than the sports building, which was heavily infested, this building should at least provide us with blunt objects which could be used as weapons," William spoke with a bit of prideful look on his face before Shawn asked,
"What about food, though? Didn\'t you guys just put yourself in a situation where you are far away from food?"
Shawn looked at him, confused, and William\'s proud face turned a bit sour as he glared at Shawn a little. I chuckled a little as I believed this idea was probably of William himself.
"Take us in," I said, changing the topic and William turned at me with a sigh as he nodded before getting out of the jeep and moving towards the zombies.
[Temporal Deceleration!]
I used Temporal Deceleration only this time and saw William running around touching and absorbing the zombies, before moving to the next one. It didn\'t even take a minute before I saw him clearing all the zombies around the area before moving back.
I undid my skill and saw him coming at a rapid speed here and then speaking,"let\'s go. I cleared the path."
The others just looked at him blankly, most probably because they couldn\'t even see what had just happened. Their eyes were looking at William, a bit cautious, a bit scared.
"Sure," I spoke as I dismounted the jeep first and looked back at Myla and Caroline,"let\'s go."
They both gulped a little before looking at me and nodding as they too got out along with the rest of the people except Jeff. Jeff parked the jeep a bit close to the gate.
-Knock Knock
"Ariana!" William shouted and a few seconds later
-Click!
The door opened, and a beautiful girl opened up the door. A blue-haired girl with a bob cut, with blue eyes and big breasts. She was wearing an extremely tight uniform that accentuated all her curves and at first, happy, she then turned to us with a slight glare.
Through her eyes changed to puppy eyes as she turned to William and spoke,"William. Who are they?"
With a proud expression, William looked at me and introduced,"this is my brother that I told you about. And the others are his friends and stuff."
"I-Is that so?" Arianna, a bit shocked, looked at me with a bit of a smile before she opened the gate as William went in. The others and I followed behind him into the building.
The first thing that greeted us was about 5-6 people with knives in their hands standing at a distance. Their expression was a bit mellow as they observed William, but turned tense when they saw me and people with me.
"William. Did you succeed?" Arianna spoke with a tense voice as she observed William. Though William just spoke with a sigh,"that one escaped again."
Those who were there, their expression turned shit scared as one of them spoke up,"we should… run away from here. Staying here is only going to kill us later on… William-"
"I have already made my decision, Klaus. I am not going to change it. If you guys are going to run away, do it by yourself," William spoke with a determined face.
\'Is there more to that laboratory than what William told me?\' I thought with a bit of a curious mind. I mean, William is the \'I will save all of \'em\' kind of person but even still… Something feels odd about it.
"William. I am sorry, but this time I agree with them. You have taken your chances and you still can\'t do anything about it. It\'s not like I understand your sentiment, but please think it from an objective point of view," Arianna joined in before something lit up in her mind and she turned to me.
"You are William\'s brother, right?" she spoke as she analyzed me. Her eyes turned a bit red too before they turned normal blue, and she made a bit of a disgusted expression but immediately hid it.
Then she continued with a pure innocent smile as she moved closer to me, trying to hold my hands.
-Woosh!
-Woosh!
Myla pointed her gun at her forehead and Caroline had her knife pointed at her neck.
"Just where do you think you are going?" Caroline spoke with a cold glare, making Arianna take a step back with sweat trickling down her forehead.
Arianna\'s eyes turned red again as she analyzed the two girls and her sweat intensified as her eyes started shaking considerably. I think I could hear her heartbeat as well.
"Now! Now! Let the girl speak what she wants," I spoke, and she gulped at me before she slowly spoke,"that… that… I… just wanted you to ask William… not to go to that place anymore."
A smile appeared on my face as I asked,"and why is that so?"
Though before Arianna could speak anything, William spoke out first,"Since you will end up knowing it anyway… Brother, your secretary went there… Miss Alissa is there. Before the apocalypse occurred, I met her outside the uni. She inquired a bit about you and other stuff before telling me that she came here with some sort of workshop work and whatnot…"
My eyes opened up wide a little before I looked around to the gate,
"Brother?" William asked with a questioning expression.
"Others stay here. William, come with me," I said before moving outside.
"Where are you-" Arianna wanted to speak but Myla just glared at her and she turned quite immediately.
"Need any help?" Myla asked as she turned back at me and I shook my head,"just watch the area around. Jeff, give me the car keys."
Jeff looked at Myla first before giving me the car keys. William was confused, but he didn\'t question anything and just spoke,"Well guys, I will be back in another 30 minutes or so."
Under the fixed gazes of everyone there, both William and I walked out of the building right a few moments after we entered it.
-SCREECCCHHHH!!!!
I heard a voice a few minutes right after we moved out of the building as the same zombie that attacked William before, had returned in front of us.
"Did he follow us? This bas-"
[Temporal Deceleration!]
[Temporal Deceleration (Copy)!]
I moved towards that almost slowed zombie and
-BOOOM!!!!!
Punched it once…
-BOOOM!!!
Twice…
-BOOOM!!!
Thrice

Then I undid my skills as I turned back to William,
"We don\'t have time to waste on small things. Let\'s go."
