Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 29: Fighting Back
"Understand the plan?" Billy asked as he glanced around the corner."Got it," Jacqueline said with a nod."Go," he said as he ran out into the open.Jacqueline carrying the toddler followed after. At first, nothing happened. Then there was a whizzing sound as an arrow came towards them. Billy quickly acted and used his knife to knock it out of the air. The arrow landed on the ground as they finally reached where Joshua was supposed to be hiding. However, there was no one there."Where's Joshua?" she demanded."I don't know," he said as he scanned the area.The kid was in no condition to move. He had clearly been traumatized to the point where he would need someone to carry him. Even if he could move, he would have been spotted by the archer and taken out. However, the fact that Joshua was gone didn't change. He must have gotten away somehow, unless one of the attackers had taken the kid.Billy hoped it was the former. Scanning for clues, he didn't see any hints that there had been a s
Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 30: To Recruit or Not to Recruit
Christina quivered beneath the man's gaze. She had never thought she would end up in this situation. When the zombie apocalypse started, she had been in the middle of her routine jog. Through sheer luck and fitness, she had been able to get away from the zombies. The people around her hadn't been as lucky, and she had to listen to their screams as she ran.Unfortunately, it had seemed like she had reached the end of her rope when she had been found by the zombies. She had been barely surviving on water, so she had no strength in her limbs, but she still tried outrunning them. When she had thought all hope was lost, she saw another person for the first time in several days. Even though it had been a long shot, she tried to get their help.She wouldn't have been able to blame them if they just left her to die. After all, she had done the same to plenty of other people. Surprisingly, the mysterious man hadn't. While she cowered from the zombies, he had killed all the zombies on his own.
Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 31: Returning to the Apartment Complex
Billy stared up at the apartment complex. It was quiet, but he couldn't be sure if it meant that the others had successfully hidden themselves away or that they had been found and killed. Glancing back at Christina, he grimaced. She would be dead weight if he brought her in and there were enemies around, but he couldn't just leave her outside. Others would take notice of her presence.With a quiet sigh, he whispered, "Follow me. Don't do anything else. Don't even speak."Christina opened her mouth to speak, but she quickly covered her mouth with her hands. Making eye contact with him, she nodded her head. He had been worried there for a moment. At least she could quickly catch on to what she could and could not do. The duo made their way into the building and quietly went up a floor. So far, there have been no signs of anything wrong.Nothing had been moved, nor were there any markings to indicate that there had been a fight. However, that wasn't enough to tell him that they were in t
Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 32: The Search (1)
Billy stabbed a zombie in the head, and a message informing him that he had earned a point popped up. Not bothering to look in its direction, he moved on to the next zombie. It was just as easily dispatched as the first. Checking his surroundings, he saw that there weren't any left nearby. Wiping up the bit of blood that got on his face, he pulled up his skills. [They're not skills. It's your upgrades.] He ignored the system and focused his attention on how many points he had. So far, he had managed to collect twenty points. It wasn't much considering how many points his upgrades demanded. He needed to hunt more zombies if he wanted to upgrade his power. Well, there was another reason why he wasn't making much progress. Turning his attention to Christina, who looked ready to heave at any moment, he said, "Let's move. We need to check the next building." "Can't we take a quick break?" she asked. "No," he said bluntly, before moving on without waiting for her. Billy could hear her
Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 33: The Search (2)
Billy grimaced. He debated on whether he should go and check on the noise she was talking about. She might have been too high strung and was just hearing things, but there was a possibility she wasn't. He couldn't rule out the possibility that someone was following them and was prepared to ambush them when their guard was down.With a sigh, he said, "I'll go check. Don't move."Leaving her behind, he peeked outside while using the door as a cover. He made sure to move as carefully as possible to avoid detection. However, he couldn't see anything out there that would indicate there was someone spying on them. Well, they could be doing a good job hiding themselves. After scanning the area a little more, he determined that there was nothing for him to see.He retreated back to see Christina anxiously waiting for his return, and she asked, "Did you see anything?"Shaking his head, he said, "There was nothing."That answer didn't reassure her, as she quietly said, "Oh."Instead of trying t
Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 34: Dealing With a Traitor (1)
Christina stared at what remained of the man that Billy interrogated before looking back at the calm man who noticed her expression and said, "Let's go. We have a lot of work ahead of us."If she had known how brutal and heartless he was, she would have never gone within several feet of him, even if it killed her. It felt like she had just signed her life away to the devil, and there was no escaping him. She reluctantly followed after, since she feared what would happen if she refused. Her hesitancy was obvious to Billy, who chose not to comment on it.It was decided. If he did go through another loop, then he would definitely not bother with her next time. Sticking with Jacqueline was his best option. It was unfortunate, but he wasn't going to waste time on someone who wasn't worth it. Speaking of someone who wasn't worth it, he was going to have to snuff out a certain brat.After traveling some distance, he raised a hand as a signal to stop and peered around the corner. If the man h
Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 35: Dealing With a Traitor (2)
The kid's warning came too late, as they could hear shouting in the halls. The guards cursed as they shoved Christina forward and went to check what was happening. She collided with the ground with a hiss. The kid had stepped back to avoid being crushed beneath her as he stared at her with wide eyes. Christina scrambled to her feet as she tried to undo her restraints.While she was trying to break free, the kid looked around as if looking for something. Joshua had to get out of there before Billy found him. There was no way he could forget the man who had taken him in briefly before abandoning him to die. It was obvious why he was there, even though he never told the woman in front of him. Billy was really going to kill him.Joshua refused to let that happen. He still hadn't found his little brother yet. The men here had taken him and Jacqueline hostage. That was all the information he was able to get out of the guards. The boss made sure they wouldn't know anything about them. Even i
Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 36: Dealing With a Traitor (3)
"Wait!" a familiar voice shouted.Billy and Joshua looked behind Billy as Christina limped down the stairs towards them. Her eyes were blown wide with shock and fear. She had finally gotten up to chase after the kid, even though she had a knife stuck in her side. However, she could have never expected to see such a scene play out in front of her. What was Billy doing? It looked like he was going to kill the kid."Billy, are you crazy?" she asked as she looked between the two. "Drop the knife."Joshua picked up on Billy's thoughts and screamed, "Don't!"Without batting an eye, Billy stabbed downward, and the kid screamed as the knife buried itself into his arm. However, Billy wasn't satisfied with just this. The kid deserved much more than a simple stab wound. Billy couldn't forget what he had just seen in the previous room. Just thinking about it made his blood boil as he tore the knife out.Something grabbed his arm, and he looked up to see that Christina had shortened the distance i
