Into the Zombie World
Chapter 86 - Eyeing The Sheep That Was Secretly A WolfWhen he heard the commotion outside, Nile became vigilant. Nile sauntered towards the window and opened it partially. He probed outside, and after a while, he located where the commotion was coming.
In the opposite direction, two houses away from him, Nile could see two men rummaging the houses one by one. As it was already dark, and the two men were in the distance, he could not observe them clearly.
Nile closed the window and walked towards the door. He remembered the dead body of the trio earlier. If he did not recall about it, and the two men outside discovered the body before him, Nile thought that it would be troublesome.
Nile took a glance at the woman before he averted his gaze and looked towards Maximo. The carabao might look like it was sleeping, but it could not be more than alert.
Maximo has been pretending to sleep ever since the moment the woman entered inside. Maximo's thought was all about its owner's safety, after all.
Croco, on the other hand, was really sleeping peacefully. Croco was lying on the ground like a dead crocodile. Nile could tell that Croco was already in its evolving situation. It will be problematic if he leaves Croco here without a guard.
Nile instructed Maximo telepathically and told him to guard Croco, especially against the woman. Nile could tell that the woman was trying to use him for her own good. Nile knows of it based on the fact that the woman keeps insisting on how she would do everything he wants.
Nile is a man, saying he does not have any other thoughts about the woman was entirely wrong. Not to mention, he was a slight of a shut-in type in his previous life. Reading lewd novels was a daily routine for him. Thinking of lecherous things has already become his hobby.
The 'Nile,' who had died of famished, was also the same. They both had not tasted heaven yet. Well, except for their reliable right hand, of course.
However, no matter how lascivious his thoughts were, Nile would not let it cloud his mind. Surviving was still Nile's priority; if he let his dick take over, Nile would be dead for sure.
If it were before, Nile might have accepted the offer, but during this time of the apocalypse. 'Nah, I'll pass!'
The woman's scheme is all within Nile's grasp. 'Just wait for my retaliation, bitch.'
The dog eyed the sheep, not knowing it was actually a wolf.
Maximo stood up and strutted towards Croco while he glared at the woman. Maximo was reluctant at first, after knowing Nile's intention. But he ultimately obeyed Nile's instruction in the end. They were communicating mentally, so the woman was oblivious to their conversation.
Aside from guarding Croco, Nile also tasked Maximo to keep an eye on the woman and not to let her escape, if ever. Although the woman's constitution was already at 8.0 while Maximo had just evolved to a Middle Stage, she does have an injury, so Nile was confident that Maximo would be able to hold on his own just fine. Not to mention, Maximo was always carrying a heavy sledgehammer on his tail.
Nile stepped outside the door. He saw the three bodies of the men earlier at the center of the room. They were lined up parallel to each other on the cold floor. Nile scanned the area and roamed the room as he collected the mutated weapons of the three dead men.
Nile forgot to collect the weapons before, and only remembered the mutated weapons when he went out earlier. Nile then stored them all inside the Storage Space. He scanned the room once more to search for the woman's dagger. But unfortunately, Nile did not manage to find the dagger that the woman had dropped earlier.
He recalled that the woman was not holding a dagger when she entered the room. Nile wondered where it was.
The three weapons were all Early Stage Level One° mutated weapons. After arriving at this Village, Nile has been seeing Level One° mutated weapons frequently.
First, it was the group of robbers; they have three mutated weapons that are all in the Early Stage. The trio earlier was also the same. All three of them were equipped with Early Stage Level One° weapons.
Realizing that, Nile could not help but think that the mutated weapons were already pretty common from this Village all the way to the Town of Daan.
After collecting the weapon, Nile dragged the corpses and moved them towards the area near the door. This way whoever will open the door; they will be able to see the bodies directly.
Nile noticed that the two men were already done inspecting the other houses, and they are now moving towards the place that Nile is currently at.
Nile approached the door and tried to close it, but not entirely. It produced a weak creaking sound; fortunately, the sound did not alert the two men outside. Nile heard them talking to each other.
Nile then positioned himself at the back of the door. Waiting for the duo's arrival, Nile unsheathed the Kriegsmesser of Agony and rested it on the ground like a walking stick.
...
A middle-aged man came out from the upper floor of a two-story house. He has a bulky build and is wearing a dark-blue tank top paired with red shorts. He has a bald head, and his expression was that of an annoyance or lethargy.
His steps were heavy when he was descending the stairs, it was as if he was carrying a huge load on his back. An inch thick brown rope was bandaged around his right arm. As he descended the stairs, he saw a young man waiting at the entrance of the house, whistling. He produced a lazy sigh as he strolled towards the young man at the door. "Found them?"
The young man in the entrance has his hand placed in the back of his head. He was wearing a dark-orange sweater that is also paired with black sweatpants. There was a sword hanging in his waist.
He was cheerfully whistling when he heard a voice coming from the house. He smiled and waved his hand to the middle-aged man. "Nah, knowing those guys, wherever they are right now, they must be enjoying that woman right now."
The middle-aged man sighed and shook his head. "Yes... They were having fun. Why do we have to look for them? I know they will return in no time while bringing that slut over. Sigh* I still did not have my fill... it was only one round..."
The middle-aged man continued to grumble as they strolled towards the last house in the area. The young man smiled and just followed behind the middle-aged man playfully. "Pfft.., Nah... It's not like it was the boss's fault. Don't blame the boss just because you're part of the three-seconds group and get tired easily."
The middle-aged man gives the young man a middle finger as he continues to walk towards the last house. The young man laughed and followed right behind him.
The middle-aged man reaches his hand towards the door in an attempt to open it. But before he could twist the handle, the young-man interrupted him with a pat. The young man then pointed on the man's hand that was resting on the door's handle. "Fresh blood, be cautious."
The middle-aged man knitted his brows and looked back at the handle, and indeed, there was fresh blood just above his hand. He uncoiled the rope that was wrapped in his hand while the young-man unsheathed his sword.
They nodded at each other before the middle-aged man proceeded to open the door slowly.
...
Behind the door, Nile was cursing about how shitty his luck was. This event was not part of his plan. 'Fuck... It must be her blood.'
...
The middle-aged man opened the door fully. He then immediately noticed the three bodies lying on the floor. The middle-aged man knew all of his boss's underlings. He was even close to some of them.
Upon seeing the three dead bodies lying on the floor, the middle-aged man immediately recognized them as the one they were searching for. His eyes constricted in anger as he grips the rope more tighter than ever.
Seeing the lifeless figures of his pals sprawled on the cold ground, he couldn't help but fuel himself with rage. He smashed the rope onto the floor and bolted towards the corpses. "Who...who the fuck did this?"
Seeing the man's action, Nile did not wait for the other one to come in. He emerged from the door, and without warning, Nile used the Kriegsmesser of Agony to pierce the man outside the door.
The young man was startled by the sudden attack that emerged from behind the door; unfortunately, he was able to dodge slightly at the last moment.
Nile had aimed for the young man's heart; however, as the young man was able to dodge at the last moment, the Kriegsmesser was only able to pierce the man's shoulder joints.
The young man screamed in agony as the Kriegsmesser pierced his shoulder. He could not think clearly because of how painful it was.
Nile pulled out the Kriegsmesser's blade and prepared to land a blow again. However, the young man's scream had alerted the middle-aged man already. The middle-aged man eyed Nile savagely as he flicked the rope towards him. "Bastard... Was it you?"
The rope coiled itself on Nile's hand, restricting it as a result.
"Tsk!"
Nile clicked his tongue in annoyance. He did not hold back anymore as he planned to unleash his full strength.
