Chapter 40
Back at the main group, King could not hide the wicked grin on his face. It had almost been two hours and Leo or the two girls were not seen by anyone. The young man was already convinced that the boy will never co back.
“Too bad for the little girl and her mother though, that lady also looked damn sexy. But at least that kid won’t be going to hell alone. I am too kind.” He thought in his head.
“King, why are you smiling like that? You are acting kind of weird.” His girlfriend looked him worriedly.
“I am alright, Amy. I just thought of sothing from you that made happy. You are truly the greatest gift of my life.” The young man smoothly flattered his girlfriend, which was part of his usual routine.
“Aww~~ That ca out of nowhere, but you are so sweet, King.” Amy gave her boyfriend’s cheek a kiss.
King continued to grin sinisterly, but it was unnoticed by the girlfriend. The young man’s thought already wandered back to the system nu. He looked at the item he purchased earlier once again.
[ Item: Ashes of the alluring skull]
Class rank: C
Effect: The fragrance of the ash will temporarily attract certain foes from the nearby area. They will be frenzied and attack anyone that carried the scent of the sll.
Cost: 150 SF (Soul Fragnts) ]
The item was expensive, but King felt it was well worth it. There was half of its content left in the bottle; he will be saving this to set soone up again. With the soul fragnts he had left, the young man decided it’s ti for that upgrade.
“R2, purchase the male reproductive system enhancent!” He excitedly shouted in his head.
[Insufficient soul fragnts]
“What? Wasn’t the price sixty-nine? I have almost a hundred.” King was confused and pulled up the details of the enhancent selection again. “Wait, R2! Why does it cost 690 now?!?”
[Due to the chosen sentinel’s successful awakening, thy body has evolved; therefore, the cost to body enhancents has increased.]
The dude almost had ntal breakdown and wanted to cry.

Leo and the two girls rendezvoused with the rest of the group. The young mother tried to hide her mildly bloated stomach and her lightly crippled walking posture, but was easily seen through by Sharon. Yet, nobody else noticed the slight difference of Cindy as a whole after her body was re-vitalized by Leo’s monster. The aunt smirkingly smiled at her nephew then turned her head towards Cindy.
“Good job, thanks for taking care of my nephew. He must have given you a bucket load of trouble.” Sharon glanced at Cindy’s belly.
“Uhm? No. Leo was a very good boy.” Cindy wasn’t able to imdiately catch on to Sharon’s speed, the gas pedal was fully pressed.
“…” Leo and Mindy selectively ignored the conversation.
Seeing trio unhard, King was shocked and he silently cursed at the boy. But before he doubted the effectiveness of the item he purchased, he used to ter to check on Cindy and Mindy. He finally rembered that those two also weren’t normal humans.
[ Species: Humanoid
Life Force: 17 ]
[ Species: Humanoid
Life Force: 9 ]
“These are so pretty high numbers. Even that little girl is stronger than . No wonder they survived…” The young man muttered.
King had only himself to bla for the failed attempt. But now, the young man planned to bid his ti to farm up more soul fragnts before doing anything else. He also did not want to waste any more resources on Leo.
Behind the young man’s back, a pair of large droopy eyes observed him nacingly with contempt. King felt a cold wind that sent shivers to his spines from the back. He turned around and peeked behind him, but wasn’t able to catch anything out of ordinary.
“What’s wrong?” The girlfriend asked.
“Nothing.” King replied to his girl and then muttered. “Must be my imagination.”

Violet’s group was not attacked by any powerful mutated zombie or beast. The way back to the base camp was a calm and serene journey. The group was not attacked by any powerful mutated zombie or beast. However, the least expected enemies showed up instead and stopped Violet’s group in the middle of the street.
They were now surrounded by another group of humans. n with crossbows and firearm were posturing on the windows of the buildings left and right. Several n led by three awakened thugs were blocking the way forward.
“Oho! What a lucky catch today. A group with bunch of won. Seems like tonight will be an enjoyable night. Right? Man!” A generic looking mafia boss shouted.
The man was ripped and wore a gray tank top to show off his muscles while dual wielding AK-34s on his two hands; he was the leader of his group.
Thug A: “Ahaha, aye boss. We haven’t tasted woman ever since that day.”
Thug B: “Right? We should have brought so girls with us back then.”
“So, you guys are the infamous bandits in recent rumors, huh?” Violet was calm and collected. As a leader that led a successful all won’s group, she definitely had a strong confidence and perhaps a few tricks up in her sleeves.
“How about we give up our supplies and you let us go? We will only keep enough food to get by the next couple days.” Violet tried to negotiate with the bandits regardless.
“No, no, no. We are all gentlen here and we don’t rob from won. However, my n would like a chance to get to know you girls better and facilitate so intimate relationships.” The boss then pointed his finger at Jean. “Especially you! Why don’t we have so tea at my place? You will not regret the night.”
Leo rubbed his chin and said to himself. “So, this guy is in covenant with Flat is Justice… However, I am a firm believer that large lons are filled with our hope and dreams.” Thus, the boy’s eye turned sharp. “Hence, we are enemies!”
Several days ago, at the base camp, there had been reports of groups being ambushed when returning from their salvaging trips. Usually, lives were spared as long the group forfeited their possessions, but they butchered anyone that resisted. However, it seed like surrendering wasn’t going to be an option for the won in this group.
“Oh? are you sure your n can satisfy all of us at once?” Jean smirked. “I don’t want to wake up disappointed the next morning.”
Doubting a man’s capability to satisfy won was considered a cardinal sin. All the man were enraged and yelled in response; foul languages and trash talks were thrown out of their mouths. However, while the verbal exchange was happening, a misty fog had started to accumulate and gradually dimd their vision.
Thug A: “What is this!? I can’t see shit!”
Thug B: “When did it beco so foggy all of sudden?”
“Boss, what should we do?” An awakened bnadit asked.
The bandit boss caressed his chin while his n were in disarray.
“Tch! One of them is an ability user. This might be bad.” The boss was beginning to have a bad feeling.
The bandits had done their research on almost every group at the base camp. When they spot a potential target, they do not jump on the ones that they have no information about or are stronger than them. The boss knew beforehand their prey this ti only had two awakened in the group; yet, no one had information that one of them was an ability user. However, the bandit boss would soon find out that their information was severely outdated.
All the original mbers of the group had already known of their leader’s ability and kept that knowledge to themselves. The two boyfriends were considered outsider and was not shared of this secret. Needless to say, it was also Sharon’s first ti seeing this ability.
“That sly woman keeping a secret from , huh? Even though I showed her my power.” Sharon was a little upset. “I thought I gained her trust.”
“Aunty, these n aren’t much of a threat, lets end it quickly.” Leo then added. “They have three awakened on the front and two more hiding the buildings, one at each side.
“Yeah, all of them felt weak.” Sharon smiled. This was pretty exciting for her.
The rest of won did not panic and trusted their leader. Violet had built up plenty of faith in her team by leading them out of danger on many scenarios.
“Darling~~ this way.” Yuno straight up pulled Subaru by his collar and dragged him with her.
“King! Don’t panic. I am here… co back!” Amy chased after her boyfriend who suddenly started to run on his own and almost vanished from her sight.
Violet easily re-grouped her teammates using all sorts of hint and guides within her ability. Leo and Sharon acted alone using their senses to hunt down the thugs. anwhile, Cindy ignored everything else and was anxiously looking for her daughter that got separated by the fog. Mindy purposely took this opportunity to separate herself from the group without telling her mother.
