Apocalypse Monster
Chapter 133: Zombie Headquarters
Natan was still on the edge of the rooftop with binoculars in hand to observe the fleeing zombies. Until suddenly, someone hugged him from behind and this surprised Adrian who was sitting.
"Natan~"
Natan lowered her binoculars and sighed. "Ainsley, haven't I told you many times, don't hug me every time you come. After all, I already have a wife, even three."
Adrian knew it was very difficult to communicate with the NPC Shop, even their voice sounded flat without expression, as it had been programmed through machine language. But, what he saw at this moment, was not just calling out to his nephew in a spoiled voice, but holding him from behind like a pair of old lovers did not meet.
Ainsley fluttered her head to the right-left until her head covering came off, revealing her bright yellow glittering hair and pointed ears.
"Don't it matter? In terms of age, I should be on par with your ancestors. In fact, maybe your ancestors were like little boys in front of me."
Adrian was a little annoyed, but could not do anything because it was indeed in the presence of the NPC Shop, even the highest level like a brat.
Natan tries to let go of Ainsley's coiled hand on her stomach, but unfortunately her strength is too weak and unable to let go. He let out a sigh of resignation, letting Ainsley do what he wanted and he preferred to observe the zombies.
"Where is this Zombie Player coming from?"
"Ukraine." Ainsley answered him directly without any pause while rubbing his face on Natan's back.
The ukrainian? Natan frowned, it was too far from where it was now. Moreover, Russia is a big country, but, he knows that it is possible - it is possible because 80% of humans on Earth have been killed, so the border is no longer maintained. Only the main cities were guarded, or some shelters.
"Do you want to kill him?"
Natan nodded her head. "Yes, of course I want to kill him. I will also look for those who are capable of enslaving others."
Ainsley gave a small nod, but did not speak anymore and hugged Natan even tighter. He took this opportunity while Brianna wasn't around. Usually, even though Brianna does not come, but actually always keep watch around Ainsley to keep him away from Natan.
Natan was motionless, rather incapable as Ainsley did not let him go from there. Until Ainsley finally let go of her own after her time was up, and left her alone.
Natan felt her ribs slightly broken due to the pressure from Ainsley's too strong embrace, it almost made her scream if she never felt anything more painful. Fortunately, he brought the healing pill and in a flash his fractured bones had already returned.
At first they were around the forest, but not too dense. Now, the forest they came to was a lot of trees, but strangely there was not the slightest sound heard. It was like they were in another world, yet Natan knew this was a very dangerous place. Even Adrian looks shaky, perhaps his ability to sense danger has been active.
Adrian set his breath, then said quietly, "Ba-How did the NPC Shop get so close to you? Even you two chatted normally."
Despite trying to stay calm, Adrian could not hide his fearful expression.
Natan looked back, before finally looking ahead. "I don't know either, we initially fought against the dragon and obtained the dragon egg. He told me how to hide it. After many things, he was very close to us, even eating together. But ..."
Natan clenched her hands and looked very upset. "Don't look at how he looks, he's so old, annoying, shameless, and perverted!"
Natan was still vividly remembered while bathing alone and Ainsley came right in front of her, even laughing at her bottom which was shrinking from the cold.
Adrian could feel that Natan was very upset with Ainsley, but he chose to keep quiet rather than ask questions and instead caused unnecessary trouble.
Nathan took out the rat's corpse from storage. The rat he killed did not evolve and become a monster, which is why when killed, his body did not disappear in the air. He resurrected the rat into a bone skeleton, then let it go in the direction the zombies ran.
Natan sat down next to Adrian and looked at the screen in front of him. This screen is not an interface screen, but a hologram that shows the view of a mouse. This is a technology developed by Ayumi, which allows to strengthen surveillance. In short, CCTV.
Adrian was stunned to see the technology in front of him. "Who created it?"
"My sister." Natan answered him indifferently, then added, "He made his skeleton, melted the Magic Core, made magic circulation and so on. She should be fifteen next month."
Natan ignores Adrian and chooses to focus on the screen in front of him. That look led him to an even deeper forest, and there was faintly movement from behind the tree and it turned out to be a zombie. There were also humans who were united, their eyes seemed empty like their souls had disappeared.
"They ..." Nathan stopped his words and guessed what happened. There were two people he was looking for right now, but did not expect that they were in the same place.
"Player that can control zombies, and Player that can enslave those at lower levels."
Adrian doesn't know why Natan is so obsessed with killing the little zombies that are running away, but as usual, he doesn't want to ask this issue. Soon, however, he will find out for himself.

Nathan and Adrian no longer ride Mammoth Castle. The two of them walked on foot to sneak into the enemy headquarters.
There are at least 3000 Zombies, 10 Giant Zombies, 12 Mutant Zombies, 2 Zombie Kings and a Zombie Player. Then, 300 Players, 10,000 Low Players, and Slave Masters.
Natan takes refuge behind a tree, seeing Adrian who is a few meters away from her who takes refuge in another tree. "Uncle." He gave a sign to attack.
Adrian nodded his head. His current level wanted to be quite high after getting help from Natan to kill many monsters. Like letting him take the last attack.
Adrian sees the Player on guard carrying a sword and eating skewer meat. He was very angry when he saw it, because he knew that it was the flesh of an enslaved man. If slaves did not work well, whether it was mining, concocting, forging and so on, they would be killed.
With his experience on the battlefield and coupled with the abilities he bought from Ainsley. He ran quickly over the snow surface, but there was no trace left there not even a sound could be heard.
Suddenly, Adrian was already behind a man who was bigger than him, but weaker. He stretched out both his hands quickly, one of them holding the mouth of the man in front of him and the other hand stabbing his neck.
"Mmmf!—"
Natan looked at it from behind, then stepped on the surface of the snow without leaving a trace. He asked the Earth Mage to dig the ground, then buried the corpse lying with blood seeping. It eliminates everything.
Fortunately this place was filled with trees, so the other party did not know if they were moving silently.
"Uncle, there are ten armed men in the northwest direction. They were seventy meters away from here, and they came. Looks like, they made a team with the guy who just got killed."
"But, not only that, there are a hundred zombies and one of them is a Mutant Zombie."
Adrian nodded his head, then the two of them hid in the three-meter-high boulder.
The place they came to is arguably a mountain, but also not. Easier, like a tree with a diameter of 20 kilometers, and has a height of 500 meters. Inside, there is a cavity that is the main headquarters.
Natan, who originally brought Sako TRG Mana, chose to keep it back because the enemies who came were not too far away. So, he felt better to use his bare hands or a sword. After all, it had long been no close combat.
Now, Natan finds a suitable Mutant Zombie. Surely, he must do it!
