XG 11- Does your mother even need help?
The four people hurriedly ran to the sports store and saw Low Lin Ya immediately opened the metal door installed on the metal shutters. It might have been designed for convenience, but it allowed stealth and silence for the survivors when leaving or entering.
"Quick, quick, quick!" Low Lin Ya squealed intensely and went back to hide, unable to stay and watch if her friends were able to get in or not.
Cheng Jiang An and Wong Xue Guo literally threw themselves into the shop and sprawled undignified on the floor. Next was the breathing hard Kim Sung-Ho, fully covered with blood and unmentionable liquid.
Kim Sung-Ho turned to look out of the dark sports store, but the strong elder brother with the silver metal bat did not enter even after a long time. He was going to step out to look for the elder brother when Chen Jiang An quickly grabbed his arm and pulled him deeper into the store.
"Hide and keep quiet, 'kay?" Chen Jiang An mimicked the act of zipping his mouth and pushed him to stand deeper inside the store.
Chen Jiang An sneaked around the window to look at the situation outside and as he guessed, his cousin was fighting against the zombies that had followed them right to the store. Chen Yibo stayed behind because he needed to deal with them all to secure their hideout's safety.
"He will just be wasting energy if he did not kill them." Wong Xue Guo joined Chen Jiang An in spying out of the window.
“Without their teeth, they won’t be able to infect us anymore.”
Wong Xue Guo stared at Chen Jian An in disbelief, as if he was being slow. “Their strength is like a human without a limiter. Their bare hands could easily rip our limbs apart. Then their nails would cut our flesh into slices so they can swallow us easier. Do you think we will still be safe even if they are without teeth?”
Cheng Jiang An flinched. Classmate Wong Xue Guo, you don't need to be that descriptive when it comes to gore!
"I will go help out… what's that?" Chen Jiang An stared at those items Wong Xue Guo had taken out of her bag.
"Stun guns. Let's test them out." Wong Xue Guo flipped the device around and had to randomly test the buttons to learn how to use it.
"Holy… Where did you get those babies?" Chen Jiang An joined to research the stun gun.
With urgency, Wong Xue Guo and Chen Jiang An fiddled with the stun gun and finally discovered how it worked. But none of them could shoot well, especially when the target kept on moving.

"Can I try it?"
Since she could not do it, she did not hog the stun gun and passed it to Kim Sung-Ho. She had already moved on to grab her worn-out broomstick to help out when she saw fine wires sail pass by her in the air and the probe sunk right onto a zombie's back.
From the beginning, Wong Xue Guo’s perception towards Kim Sung-Ho was rather biased because he was a kid without much flesh on him. She had already thought of him weaker than her, even if his gender was male. But reality smacked her face when he revealed his strength when he bashed those zombies, and then now when he accurately shoots the target with the stun gun.
What regret in having him as a teammate? There’s none!
However, the stun gun only made the zombie twitch around but it still continued walking, unaffected by the stun gun at all.
"He looks a bit like Michael Jackson…" Chen Jiang An complimented awkwardly.
"... Useless." Wong Xue Guo quickly concluded and tossed the extra stun gun back into her bag and picked up her broom again.
Chen Yibo had seen what they were doing and was speechless. "Just give me something that can be used to stab!"
He was lucky to be able to fight against these agile zombies without much problem, but he also knew it was because they had strangely slowed down that he could survive without being bitten once.
"Like what?" Chen Jiang An and Wong Xue Guo could not think of anything that could be used as a stabbing weapon unless they went around to search.
But they do not have time to do so when Chen Yibo starts to falter from the zombies from exhaustion. In the end, Wong Xue Guo passed the two stun guns to Kim Sung-Ho to use while she followed Chen Jiang An to help out Chen Yibo.
The bad news was, now that she had taken a short break, she was all too aware of the soreness aching all over her body. She had to force herself to grab her broomstick with her bruised palms, ignoring the pain as much as she could.
What happened to the idea of placing yourself first? It was eaten by the reality of the weak who need the strong to survive!
She would call herself an idiot if she sacrificed Chen Yibo, the young protégé in karate!
But Wong Xue Guo had to admit that Chen Yibo breaking these zombies' teeth had reduced her fear level and gave her a level-headed mind to achieve better accuracy in stabbing with much steadier hands.
Kim Sung-Ho's help with the stun gun could not be said to be useful, since the time for the wire to return to its socket takes time. By then, they already moved to stab another zombie.

"Shit, we won!" Chen Jiang An cheered, but still had some self-control to keep his voice low.
Even Wong Xue Guo wanted to cheer, but her desire to lie down on the floor was stronger than that. She was completely wiped out. Her yearly quota of exercise was surpassed in just one day!
They thought they could finally take a break, only to see Vihaan running towards them, bringing with him a group of enthusiastic zombie fans.
Chen Jiang An, Chen Yibo, Wong Xue Guo: F*ck!
"Kim Sung-Ho! Grab a sharp weapon and help!" Wong Xue Guo quickly dispatched an order.
There was no feeling of guilt in asking a kid to help out!
As for Low Lin Ya? She had already hidden somewhere after opening the metal door for them. The vain young miss was self-conscious with her ability and chose to hide instead of causing more trouble for her friends.
No matter how unwilling their body was, they still had to grab their weapons and continue fighting if they wanted to live!
Vihaan stopped running after reaching them, his hands carrying sharp tools he had picked up along the way. If Suzie Yap had not shared the way to kill these monsters, he would definitely be unable to survive in the fight for long.
In his hand was a long wooden pole, which was used to hold up a banner for the coming Christmas celebration sales. It had come undone and he grabbed it by chance.
Vihaan removed his coat that was restricting his large movement and loosening his tie to wrap his sore right palm. Without his coat, he revealed his hidden muscular body that looked slim under his coat. Before the zombies reached them, Vihaan took the initiative to charge forward to meet them with a skewer attack.
"Yarghhhh!"
It was truly impressive for Vihaan to stab past four zombies in one go, the muscles in his arms tighten and bulge from the excessive strength. Even if it was only one zombie that was stabbed accurately in the heart, it still hindered the other three's movement.
Wong Xue Guo: Dang. This is the strength of a grown-up adult.
The best she could do was only inserting two onto her skewer.
Vihaan did not continue with the skewer attack and pushed it aside, leaving the zombies alive on the skewer to wiggle like a fish out of water. His next weapon was surprisingly a large butcher knife used to chop chicken. It looked mightily dangerous, but how will it get to the heart?
"Stop looking. We need to help him." Chen Yibo joined the fray, ditching the metal bat to be replaced with a brand new ski pole he managed to find inside the sports store.
Wong Xue Guo's eyes brightened and hurriedly grabbed a ski pole for herself, discarding the broomstick. Seeing her, Chen Jiang An also grabbed one for himself and joined the fight. The ski pole was indeed a better weapon than a metal bat or a broken broomstick. Even Kim Sung-Ho had ditched the stun gun to help them with his own ski pole.
Vihaan was like a soldier on a battlefield, aggressively chopping down the enemies, with his aim to see all his enemies die. Wong Xue Guo could see that Vihaan's chop was heavy, and it sank deep into the zombie's chest. It was enough to stop the zombies from moving again.
Although her body was moving, her mind was doing multitasking after gradually getting used to the physical activity. Her brain was informing her that the zombies she observed have a clean chest. Their head, neck, arms, thighs, waist, legs, and even butts were bitten savagely.
But none of their chest areas were bitten.
Now that the fight ended to their victory, Wong Xue Guo has the luxury to take stock of her own body and f*ck it, her whole body ached as if she had just gone to Hell and back.
She does not even dare to move her shaking hands that were still holding tightly onto the ski pole. The sharp pain as she tried to pry open her palm had her blink rapidly in tears. The small cuts must have evolved into big cuts and likely to be sticking onto her ski pole. Knowing that she could not just let her bloody flesh stick to the ski pole, she bit her lips and slowly separated them, her sight nearly went dark for a second or two.
"Get inside," Vihaan urged the children now that there were no more zombies heading on their way.
"Mother." Wong Xue Guo turned her head to where the crowd was. She finally realized the implication of Vihaan being here.
Her mother was fighting alone.
When her mother told her to run with the Chen cousins, she had not protested much because Vihaan will be fighting alongside her.
"Does your mother even need help?" Chen Jiang An asked in astonishment when he spotted a human-shaped tornado cutting down the zombies around her.
In a short time, Suzie Yap alone had cleaned up all the zombies until they could count the remaining with two hands. Her accomplishment had dazzled the other’s eyes, but only she herself knew this was a small feat compared to what she could do in the future.
Her current strength was very much weaker compared to her first life.

8 344Welcome to Devos
Welcome to a world where humor, drama, and action clash in epic tales spanning a vast continent....Welcome to Devos An anime styled medieval fantasy world featuring heroes, gods, and demons in a grounded and story/character focused series. A world where the gods of power bestow elemental abilities on those they find worthy. Welcome to Devos is broken up into parts, each part is more or less a complete story that expands the world, characters, and kingdoms of Devos. It plays out a lot like Game of Thrones where instead of a lead character you have an entire cast, each one getting plenty of time to develop over the course of the series. It is a relatively grounded, character and story-driven adventure that focuses on people of interest and their relationships with each other, their nations, and the eight gods of power. While the story features a good blend of light and dark themes it can get really grim at times. The continent of Devos is comprised of 5 territories, they include the three kingdoms of Verdun, Ashmir, and Vespa along with the territories of two demon lords to the north and south. The time period and setting are basically what you would find in a fantasy anime. There are eight gods of power which wield eight different elements and have the ability to "bless" individuals with certain abilities. Monsters roam the wilderness and the ruins/dungeons that are scattered throughout the landscape. Adventurers complete quests, hunt monsters, and explore the vast continent. We've got heroes, demon lords, gods, spys, special operations assault teams, phantom eagles, kings & queens, cursed chickens, talking goblins, and a whole shit ton more already in with plenty more coming soon.
