Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 48: Finding Jacqueline
Billy entered the tunnel despite the elderly couple's concerns. They couldn't just leave it alone in case something was really lurking in the tunnel. His eyes peered into the darkness as he held onto his knife and short metal pole. He unfortunately couldn't bring a gun with him. It was just too dangerous to try to use it in the dark in an enclosed space.Jacqueline could be there. He didn't want to risk shooting either of them. That didn't leave him many options to choose from. His weapons couldn't be too long, or else he wouldn't be able to properly swing them in the small space. He would just leave himself wide open. On the other hand, weaposn with a small range would be problematic when moving in the dark.He really should have gone to get a flashlight, but he forged on ahead anyway. Straining his ears for any sounds, he continued walking forward. There were no sounds other than his own footsteps and breathing. However, he didn't let his guard down. A zombie could pop out of nowher
Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 49: Tunnel Problem
Unlike what they all feared, Jacqueline wasn't seriously injured like how it had first appeared. The blood on her forehead made the cut on her head look bigger than it actually was. The cut was smaller than his pinky finger. There were a couple scrapes, but there were no signs of any bite marks, which was what had worried Billy the most.If she had been bitten, she would have been infected and turned into a zombie. In that scenario, they would have no choice except to kill her before she killed them. He was grateful that this wasn't the case. In hindsight, it should have been obvious that she hadn't been turned. He had already experienced her transforming into a zombie and killing him in a previous life.The transformation had been so fast. It had only taken a few minutes. Even though they didn't know how long she had been in the secret tunnel, she should have transformed into a zombie way before they had arrived. Once he was done checking and fixing up her wounds, Billy took a moment
Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 50: Clearing the Tunnel
Billy had already expected that to happen and immediately attacked with his metal pole. He didn't have to worry about it getting caught on the walls, and it landed a direct blow to the head. In an instant, the zombie was down for the counter. It was a bit anti climatic and unusual. That shouldn't have been enough to take the zombie down, and he eyed it warily.It didn't make a move, so he poked it with his metal pole. The zombie still didn't move, even though Billy kept nudging it. After a couple minutes, Billy determined that the zombie wasn't playing dead and that he had gotten lucky with his hint. Somehow, he had landed a fatal blow. Stepping over the zombie, he proceeded down the tunnel, ready to fight more zombies.He only made it a couple of steps before he encountered a sudden surge of zombies rushing towards him. With a grimace, he swung his metal pole and stabbed the incoming zombies with his knife. This time, it wasn't as easy as the previous zombie. One blow wasn't enough t
Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 51: Zombie Problem
The elderly woman nearly fell out of her chair as she said, "There's a what?"The old man wasn't any better and was looking at Billy with a pale face. "Are you being serious?"Billy looked them in the eyes and said, "I have no reason to joke about this. It's a serious problem."The elderly couple still couldn't believe what they just heard. It seemed completely unreal to know that a giant zombie had somehow snuck into the secret tunnel in their basement. Since neither of them had seen it, it was hard to believe that such a thing existed. However, Billy was right. They had seen what a serious man he was. He wouldn't try to play a prank on them."What do we do?" the old man asked.With a sigh, Billy combed through his hair and said, "I'm not sure. This is way beyond what we've handled before."Technically, out of all of them, he was the only one with experience dealing with zombies. The elderly couple had never left the house, so they never actually had to fight one, and that was a regu
Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 52: Informing Jacqueline
"What happened?" Jacqueline asked."What can you tell us?" Billy asked.It took her several minutes to explain what she could remember. After the awkward talk that had taken place, she had wanted to avoid Billy. It was difficult to look him in the eyes. She had gone off to explore the rest of the house, even though she had already known the whole place like the back of her hand. That's how she ended up in the basement.What she didn't expect was for a secret passage to appear when she coincidentally leaned against a part of the wall. When she said that, Billy and the elderly woman stared at the old man with judgmental eyes. The elderly man didn't bother trying to defend himself. There was no way he could defend against the fact that Jacqueline could easily find and enter the secret tunnel.She had decided to check it out and make sure it was safe. Billy would have rather she immediately got him to help her check it out, but he understood where she was coming from. If a place she had n
Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 53: Zombie Attack at Night
The group was unable to come to a decision and went their separate ways to retire for the night. While separating was probably not the right move to make given the current situation, The awkward atmosphere after the fight between the elderly couple and Jacqueline made it difficult for them to stay in the same room as each other.They should have resolved things as soon as possible, but Billy felt like it wasn't his place to interfere. The relationship between them wasn't something he had control over. He was an outsider, and they would most likely not appreciate him stepping in out of the blue. All he could do was wait for them to resolve things as quickly as possible.As he watched the cameras, Jacqueline asked, "Shouldn't you be getting some sleep? You've been up for a while.""It's difficult to sleep when we have so many problems at our doorstep," Billy dryly said as he searched for any strange movements from the zombies.With his back to her, he didn't notice how she winced at his
Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 54: Fighting the Giant Zombie
Billy traversed the tunnel undisturbed. There were no new zombies for him to fight. It seemed that the giant zombie might have stopped them from getting in. That made sense given its huge size and how it had blocked Billy's path earlier. At least there was one piece of good news from all this. He continued until he saw something blocking his way.It didn't take a genius to realize it was the giant zombie. He grimaced as he observed the thing with his ax ready. There didn't seem to be any eyes or any visible sign of where its face could be. Could it be a headless zombie? It wouldn't surprise him, but that meant cutting off its head or bashing its brains out wouldn't do the trick.Suddenly, something shot out towards him. His quick reflexes prevented him from being impaled on the walls of the tunnel. The tunnels shook from the impact, and he stared at the massive tentacle that had tried to kill him. This was way too different from what he was expecting. He had been imaging the zombie hi
Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 55: Teleportation
"What happened while I was gone?" Billy asked as he got to his feet.The elderly couple glanced at each other before the elderly man said, "Well, we were waiting for you to return. Suddenly, there were a lot of noises and shaking, so we figured we should block the entrance.""Jackie insisted we should wait, but we didn't think it was a good idea," the elderly woman said with a guilty expression."No, you did the right thing. Making you wait thirty minutes was too much to ask," he said.It was the right choice to make under those circumstances. If he were in their place, he would have done the same, even if it was Jacqueline on the other side. They had no idea how safe it would be to keep the entrance open. For all they knew, a zombie horde might have appeared at any moment. However, that wasn't what he was interested in."Can you tell me how Jacqueline suddenly appeared at my side?" Billy asked.Jacqueline immediately spoke up. "I can explain. We were barricading the entrance when a s
