[Do you want to sell an E-Grade Zombified Human Fist Fighter for 8000 Cronas?]

"Ah! That's something for this filth," I spoke with a bit of surprised expression as I looked at him. Then I pressed the [Yes] option without any hesitation and saw his body disappearing into thin air as if nothing existed there.

[+ 8000 Cronas Received!]

After that, I pondered something and then took out the guns and stuff that I took from the people down there in the basement and placed them on the selling option as well. While they did not give me much Cronas, in total I got about 450 Cronas from a total of 18 objects, which was fine, I guess.

Other than that, the Crona Plant also should give me enough points just like usual. All the more because an hour in the outside world is 36 here now.

[Tree of Crona(Uncommon)

Effects: Generates 15 Cronas per hour.

Limitations: Can store only 2500 Cronas

Current amount of Cronas stored: 612 Cronas

Special: Evolvable(Require 50,000 Cronas to evolve)]

Taking out the Cronas from there, I saw the total amount of Cronas I had.

[Total Cronas: 9214]

'Hmmm, I would need about 6000 Cronas to buy a Lesser D-Grade worker.. hmmm all right, let's do it like this,' I thought before buying an E-Grade Zombie worker instead.

[E-Grade Zombie:

Working Speed Efficiency: Can generate 10 Cronas per day

House Space Taken: 2

Cost: 7500 Cronas]

Buying one, I then moved to the [Dungeon Manager] which let me modify the workers and stuff.

[Dungeon Manager]

[Modify a particular worker]

[Temporarily increase the speed of a particular worker]

[Temporarily increase the Grade of a particular worker]

[Sell a worker]

Ignoring the last 3 options, I moved to the first option and

[E-Grade Zombie]

[Permanently increase the efficiency of the worker by 10%: 10,000 Cronas]

[Permanently increase the speed of the worker by 10%: 10,000 Cronas]

[Permanently increase the strength of the worker by 10%: 10,000 Cronas]

[Permanently increase the grade of the worker: 8500 Cronas]

'Well, these seem out of options.. well, what about the temporary speed?' I pondered before looking at the next option.

[Temporarily increase the speed of the E-Grade Zombie by 100% for one month: 1000 Cronas]

'Nope,' I thought before closing the tab.

100% means 20 Cronas for per day instead of 10 and for one month it will be just 30 extra for a cost of 1000 Cronas. Kind of a scam if you ask me.

'Looks like I need to save a bit more before I buy something.. but it should fill up fast now that I have a zombie worker.. maybe I should wait a few hours outside. I need to catch up with Dad as well,' I thought before looking at Rhea as I spoke,

"I should be leaving now."

Silently, she looked at me as she nodded before I vanished from there and returned to the real world.

[Temporal Deceleration!]

[Temporal Deceleration (Copy)!]

Tracing my path back to where I came from, I then moved back to the exact location where my father was, and when I reached there, I saw him thrashing those kids out without any mercy. Half of those ruffians were already dead, the other half were mostly gone, leaving 3 more people with broken legs.

There was a bit of rage in Dad's eyes, and I sighed before turning off my abilities.

"It's okay, dad. Things are fine now," I said, gathering the attention of dad and the rest of the girls who were behind him. The girls shrieked out because of my sudden appearance while my father's eyes widened a little as he looked at me.historical

"Is William okay?" was the first thing he asked and I nodded,"yeah. He is doing fine. What about you, dad? Are you alright?"

He chuckled at my words as he joked,"nothing these old bones can't handle. Though I need a few explanations."

His eyes bored into mine deeply and I nodded at him as I agreed to it,"okay. But let me just take care of things outside first."

He looked at me and spoke,"you haven't done it already? I thought you were dealing with them while I was dealing with things here."

"No. I was busy doing something more important," I answered it before moving up as I spoke,"you can bring them up. It should be safe outside.. for now at least.."

[Temporal Deceleration!]

[Temporal Deceleration (Copy)!]

After that, I moved up and started taking the guns of everyone present there. I didn't kill any of the ruffians anymore. I left that decision to the people who have suffered here. Though I did break their ankles, I guess.

The reason I didn't kill them was because these were just ambitious kids who have been led astray. They haven't done anything wrong yet and I don't have the right to punish someone for just having ambitions. The fact that they were involved in a mess that has nothing to do with me was another fact that made me not bother about it.

'Though if they had troubled father in any way, that would be a different story altogether,' I thought as I deactivated my skills and..

"AAAAAAAA!!!" Heard the screams of everyone around there. The people who have been enslaved just looked at those crying and screaming men who were trying to grab a hold of their broken ankles.

Soon, father came out and looked at the situation with a surprise in his eyes before I saw a bit of pride as he searched for me. His eyes laid upon me and he nodded before he began moving and shouting at the others.

As he was running, he kind of gave a motivational speech about fighting back and it actually worked, making everyone fight against those ruffians.

In the end, the ruffians were caught and bound together with a rope, as everyone was deciding what to do with them.

"So, what happened to the kid who couldn't even protect himself against an HIV attack?" Dad smirked as he looked at me with a proud expression and I looked at him with an annoyed gaze as I answered,"How many times do I have to tell you that I was given a sleeping pill before I was given that injection? Sigh! Can you drop that already?"

He laughed out loud at my annoyed expression before he held me by his arms and hugged me tightly.

"Son.. glad to know that you are alive.. Even William too.. I am glad that you both are fine," his voice kinda started breaking as he spoke slowly with slight tears falling from his eyes before he hid them and looked at me with a bright smile again.

It felt like he was the happiest man on this planet right now.

"So.. what's with that super power you just showed there?" He asked curiously, and I pondered before 'explaining' it in small words,

"The Zombie Virus.. it's affecting people. It's like energy.. making everyone strong. People who fought more zombies and this whole Zombie Core thingy.." I started explaining about Zombie Core, Zombies, Zombified Humans, different abilities, etc. Looking at him, it felt like he understood half the things and omitted the rest half. But after all was said and done, he sighed deeply as he spoke,

"I guess things have changed a lot in the past few weeks.. And from your explanation, I take it as you haven't met your mother yet?"

I just kept quiet for a few moments before speaking,"I was planning to move to the next city once I had found William and you. Though, I guess, I should first settle things here with these kids, right?"

Knowing my father, he probably won't leave anyone behind, which is honestly fine. I don't want him to change at all. He is kind, but he is powerful enough to back up his kindness. The apocalypse might have shifted his power level, but with my help, I will make sure things stay the way they are.

"Yeah. Do you have anything you can help with, son?" Father asked as he looked at me and I nodded with an answer as I spoke,"yeah. I do have something on my mind. Though that would require a lot of walking.."
