It would not be quite hard to locate where Nina was, thanks to the system’s information. However, it was not as if Ethan knew exactly where the Physical Health Centre was located.
Ethan loved doing many things in New Land University, but hitting the gym was not part of them.
In fact, he had never even been there before, and that led to him not engaging in any sports activities.
However, when it ca to special etups for projects and experints, he would not think twice before jumping into one.
Fortunately, to make things easier, one of them happened to know the exact location of the Physical Health Centre.
Eva.
"We go east. The sa way leading to the stadium," she said.
Eva and Ethan led the way as the rest followed behind, all alert to every nook and corner.
One suspicious sound, and they would already be facing a possible threat at once.
Now that Ethan knew about the evolution of the zombies, he knew he had to be more careful than before.
A Level 4 zombie, as stated by the system, already possessed so human-like intellectual features, and being unprepared enough to face one might result in an unfixable disaster.
Although Ethan was not praying to see one at this point, at least not when he was with the others.
The last ti they encountered an evolved zombie, Dane was bitten, and it did not end as expected.
Ethan would not allow that to happen again.

[Level: 1.]
[Evolution Manifestation Rate: 0% (No Manifestation).]
Fortunately for them, all the zombies they ca across were Level 2 or Level 1, which showed that there was little to no stress along the way.
Everyone had begun to pick up expertise in using a knife, except for Anna, who did not even raise a hand.
She had only been shielding herself behind Ethan the whole ti, and to Ethan, there was no problem with that.
It was better to protect her than to risk having her protect herself. For soone as weak as she was, it was no different from a death sentence.
Soon enough, they reached the Physical Health Centre, and Ethan urged them to settle in one corner to make a plan.
Rushing in without studying the area and structure was not the best thing to do, and in fact, it was already high ti he clarified things about the weapons.
"Ethan?" Helen called, not hesitating at all.
"Yeah," Ethan said, understanding her, as he imdiately entered the Store.
He already had what to purchase in mind, so there was no need to waste ti.
He had co across a few rifles in the Store the last ti he checked. There were many affordable ones, but that was not what impressed Ethan.
The interesting thing was that these weapons were exactly like the typical weapons available in society.
[Long-range (limited).]
— Shotguns & Handguns.
— Rifles.
— Tanks (Closed).
— AFVs (Closed).
— Warplanes & Munitions (Closed).
He went straight to the Rifle nu, where a large variety of rifles popped up in front of him along with their descriptions.
Sohow, he was the only one seeing it. The others could not even see the interface, much less the indications on it.
Ethan felt more relaxed when he realized this.
[Rifles.]
[Na: Ruger 10/22.]
[Cost: 85 BC.]
[Description: A lightweight, semi-automatic .22 LR rifle with confird reliability, low recoil, and high accuracy, featuring a detachable rotary magazine and widely used for training, small-ga hunting, and target shooting.]
[Perk: Cos with a one-ti shooting tutorial guide.]
Ethan observed the weapon for a mont and finally made a decision.
"No. It will not be helpful enough."
He moved to the next rifle imdiately.
[Na: M16.]
[Cost: 120 BC.]
[Description: A lightweight, gas-operated assault rifle chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO. Long-barreled and reinforced, with high accuracy at dium to long ranges, low recoil, and compatibility with standard 20 or 30 round magazines, making it a reliable military rifle for sustained combat use.]
[Perk: Cos with a one-ti shooting tutorial guide and Double Shot Per Hit specialty.]
"What do you an by Double Shot Per Hit?"
Ethan had to ask because he did not entirely understand what those terms ant. Surely, he had found the M16 to be a good pick, but he had to understand it better before spending his hard-earned credits.
[Double Shot Per Hit simply ans that a single pull of the trigger would result in two bullet shots at once. It is more advantageous when there are two enemies in sight, as the two bullets will go for one each.]
[The effectiveness of this feature is determined by whether or not the one-ti shooting guide is learned properly.]
After reading the explanation, Ethan understood the concept.
However, when he checked his credit balance, his face changed at once.
[Boyfriend Credits: 378 BCs.]
"Ethan? We have been here for a while now. Where are the weapons? How are we sure they have not captured Nina yet?" Helen called.
Ethan did not respond, as he was completely focused on the Store. It was as if he had not heard her at all.
There were not many other good rifles he could get, and Ethan could not hide the fact that he preferred the M16.
After pondering for a mont, Ethan finally decided.
"I’m getting it."
His balance was only enough to get three M16s, but Ethan was not worried about that. As long as the rifles were in the right hands, it might be enough to get the job done.
He quickly confird the purchase.
[Are you sure you want to buy ×3 M16 rifles?]
[Yes.]
[No.]
He smashed the "Yes" icon, and just like that, the purchase was completed. Ethan watched his Boyfriend Credits disappear before his eyes.
[×3 purchase of M16 rifles successful!]
[Boyfriend Credits: 18 BCs.]
At that instant, three black, smart-looking M16 rifles erged from nowhere.
Anna and the rest of the group noticed the phenonon and flinched in shock.
"Huh?"
That was Helen’s reaction.
With a gentle smirk on his face, Ethan first walked over to Helen, who had doubted him the whole ti.
"Here," he said.
Still stunned, all she could do was take it, as she could not even move her lips.
Ethan moved away without waiting for any response, and his next stop was Eva.
It was as if she had already expected it.
Eva collected the rifle without much drama, which gave Ethan enough ti to speak.
"We don’t have enough rifles for now, but we’ll surely get more."
He then turned to Anna.
"You’ll have to walk behind . The rest of you, take your positions. Those with the guns lead the way."
They all nodded, their faces still filled with confusion.
Ethan did not linger. Instead, he tilted his head and gave them a go-ahead.
"Okay then. Let’s go save our friend."
