Surprisingly, I was able to do System Daily Quests within the [Second Space] for the 12 days in the outer time. I ended up farming a bit of Exp as well as Stat point.
My eyes fell on the bat which Caroline was holding. It was the same weapon that I bought from the [Shop] previously. Hmmm… now that I think about it, if Caroline has Archer as a class, I believe I could get her a crossbow or a normal bow, can't I?
'Let's see it later after we finish dealing with the situation here,' I pondered before moving towards Caroline as I continued speaking.
"You guys are a bit tired, so you can take a break. I will come back in a few minutes." I mean, they really looked tired after dealing with the Zombie Hordes. I guess it wouldn't be wrong to give them a small break.
"Hey Carol. Thanks for taking care of me," I spoke as I took my weapon back and kissed on her lips before patting her as I continued,"Take a break. I will handle things from here."
I saw her nodding at me in a daze before I turned to White speaking,"I see a lot of ems got improved. Including you as well. Good job."
He nodded as he answered,"had to do what I had to. Though it was mostly Alex who helped us. He warned us about which zombie is stronger and which is weaker. He provided me with the information on their power and I devised the strategy. Without him, it would have been at least 3 times more difficult."
I turned to Alex and smiled at him as I spoke,"I guess you deserve a gift for your hard work. Just wait till I deal with the horde. We can then decide on what you want."
He smiled brightly at that as he nodded with a blissful face.
Almost all the people here had turned into F-Grade Zombified Humans, while a few almost reached the E-Grade.
White had become an E-Grade already. As for Alex and Caroline, there wasn't much improvement in them as they were still E-Grade Zombified humans. Though their zombification process has crossed 30% each, so there was that.
"BROTHER WATCH OUT!!!" Shouted Alex as he looked at me and the Zombie which almost jumped at me.
[Jumper(D-Grade Zombie): A Jumper who has reached its full potential after eating many Zombie Cores. Has advanced leg strength and agility and can jump high enough to reach 5 storey buildings with ease.
Reward for Killing: +250 Exp]
[Temporal Deceleration!]
[Temporal Deceleration(Copy)]
I saw that guy slowly floating towards me. He was fast, but compared to that C-Grade…
'Slow,' I said as I raised my hand and held the head of that Zombie and started crushing with my hand as hard as I could.
Because this Zombie had higher leg strength, then that means his head should have been developed a bit less in comparison.
'Time to see how much 20 strength is really worth… ' I thought as I held the bat in my hand tightly, which increased my strength by another +5.
At first it was hard, as hard as crushing an empty tin can. Then, once the process started, it soon became easy as the bones of that Zombie began breaking. Soon I noticed its body getting lifeless extremely slowly.
[You have killed a D-Grade Zombie Jumper!]
[+250 Exp]
I just smiled as I waited for the body of that zombie to stop on its own before turning off the two [Temporal Deceleration] skills.
While all of it happened slowly for me, for others, it might have all happened in less than a second. I mean, there is no better proof than the look of disbelief on their faces.
Even Alex and White were trying to comprehend what had just happened. Including Caroline, who was almost ready to jump to protect me from the Zombie.
"Well. I will be back. Also, you guys keep the used Zombie core somewhere? I will be collecting that," I spoke before moving towards the incoming Zombie Horde.
'Hmmm.. about 60 Zombies… 14 Lesser D-Grade and… 3 D-Grades,' I calculated the number using my [Inspect] skill as I tried swinging the bat in the same way as Rhea taught me how to use a sword.
'How long will I be attacked?'
[4 Seconds]
A Lesser D-Grade Zombie rushed towards me at a rapid speed and waited for the timer to reach 1 seconds, I let that Zombie reach towards me.

While I did need Cronas, for now I decided to kill them. There was little I could do with another 1000 Cronas or so. On that note… I don't know if having some extra Exp was going to help me or not.
When I killed the Zombies, I made sure to take out the Core and store it in my pocket.
'I wonder how much an energy filled core would sell for,' I pondered with a bit of curiosity as I killed the next Zombie
[+ 50 Exp]
[+ 50 Exp]
[+ 125 Exp]
One by one, I killed all the Zombies present in the area before proceeding to the next horde. It wasn't much hard, as even though there were more Zombies in the next wave, their individual grade was lesser than previous ones.
[Level 10: (87450/50000 Exp)]
I looked at that Exp before turning around and walking back at a casual pace as I saw the slow world around me. Then when I reached a bit closer to the Libra building where I Caroline and the others were, I stopped using the two abilities.
With how much I was involved in that, I guess it took about 10 seconds in normal time for me to finish the whole thing? Or was it less?
Returning, I saw the rest of them looking at me as if they had seen a ghost. They had to rub their eyes multiple times to check if they saw what they just saw.
"What? Never seen a super fast man killing a horde of zombies within seconds?" I spoke as I observed them, and they just kept looking at me blankly.
I sighed before turning at George, who was a bit less stupefied than the others, and spoke,"George. Can you collect all the used up Zombie cores and bring them to me? I will be in the guest room on the first floor."
Snapping out of his stupor, he nodded before immediately moving to work. As for White and Alex, I just left them as it is before moving towards Caroline.
"Let's go. We have some unattended business," I spoke with a bit of mischievous look however before I could move,
"Brother wait! Actually, take this," spoke Alex as he took out a Zombie Core out his pocket hurriedly. I then observed the Zombie Core properly.
[D-Grade Zombie Core]
[Formed by the condensed energy of a Lesser C-Grade Zombie. Contains a magnificent amount of cessation energy.]
Observing the Zombie core, I finally recalled a piece of information that I completely neglected till now. I turned to Alex as I asked,
"It's that one's core?"
Alex nodded as he spoke,"Gramps decided that since it was you who killed it. It would be better if you are the one who decided what to do with it. Also, because the energy was too much for any of us to absorb properly."
By it, Alex meant about the C-Grade Zombie. Though I wonder why it was Alex holding on to the core.
"Because nobody would suspect a kid," White answered, as he understood my thoughts. I observed the Zombie core and pondered for a few moments…
'We need someone strong to defend the whole place. At least until I am within the Dungeon,' I pondered before deciding that it would be better to help someone evolve with this.
Though who exactly…
'Caroline… No. Even though I want her to be stronger, giving her the core would only mean that she will be made to stand in the most difficult situations.
White… I trust him… but not that much. I still know little about him, even with my [Inspect] skill I could only grasp a few basic information about him.
Alex is… well above everything, he is still a kid.
Now that leaves only one person…'
I pondered before turning at George with a calculative gaze.
George is a good kid. He will protect the whole building if I asked him to… perhaps even die if the situation demands. Along with Caroline, he looked after me when I was ill and, most importantly; he looked at me as if I were his idol or something…
'Well, I guess it is better than the other choices,' I thought as I called George over.
Confused, he moved towards me and I asked him to raise his hand. I put the D-Grade Core in his hands and asked,
'How long till the Zombie Core gets absorbed by George?'
