Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 85: Discussion
With neither side willing to budge on the matter, it was a standstill. Technically, there were more people in favor of going out to kill the zombies. However, only two people's opinions mattered, which were Jacqueline and Billy, since they were the only able bodied people in the group. The elderly couple had to rely on them to do most of the work."Billy, we won't have to go far. We can just attack any zombies that pass by," Jacqueline said, trying again to convince him to see her side.Billy sighed. "Jacqueline, no matter how many times you say it, I'm not going to change my mind about it. We shouldn't recklessly fight the zombies, hoping you three will get a power. You should be realistic."Jacqueline wilted. "I know, but I don't want us to be a burden on you. I already know that we aren't much help to you without a power or system backing us up.""The elderly couple has already provided us a place to stay, and you have already done more than enough," he said.She gave him a doubtfu
Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 86: Dealing With Kids (1)
Billy groaned as he cursed himself for being right. He had thought that everything had been resolved after their conversation and that they would have more time to deal with what they had discussed. Of course, the world decided to screw him over. How else was he supposed to explain away the fact that a very familiar pair of faces were coming down the street?Fortunately, he was alone in the room, so no one else knew about the two kids that gave him and Jacqueline grief in previous lives who were walking down the street. Since they were moving slowly, he still had some time to think about what he should do about them. While they were alone this time, he wasn't sure if it was a good idea to step out and kill them.There was no way he could leave without being noticed. With the whole place on lockdown, the only way he would have been able to leave was if he deactivated the security. That would immediately notify everyone that someone was trying to leave, which was no good. He would have t

Billy gave her an unimpressed look, and Jacqueline asked, "What?""How do you intend to do that exactly?" he asked as he raised an eyebrow."I don't see the problem," she said.He sighed before saying, "We will still need to talk to the elderly couple to ask them to deactivate the security system or at least inform them."Her mouth opened slightly before her expression turned sheepish, and she said, "Yeah, I mean, I know that, but it's not like we have a choice. Besides, it's not like we're telling them we're going out to kill the kids.""Then are you suggesting we let the kids into the house?" he snapped.Even though he didn't intend to be short with her, he couldn't understand why she thought it was a good idea to let the kids into the house. He had already informed her about what happened the last time they decided to show kindness to the kids. She had even agreed to take them out in a previous life. Why was she insisting on rescuing them?"Oh," she said as if a lightbulb went off.

"It looks like we were unable to save them," Billy calmly said.Jacqueline nodded. "It's unfortunate, but someone bitten by a zombie isn't safe to be around."Billy's eyes noticed the bite mark on one of the kid's exposed arms. Now no one can try to say they were monsters for killing them. Anyone in their position would agree that it wouldn't be smart to let someone bitten by a zombie roam free, even if they were a kid. It could even be said that they were merciful and put the kids out of their misery."What should we do about the bodies?" she asked."We should just leave them. We don't have time to handle them," he said, reminding her of their strict deadline.She nodded before they hurried back to the house. Neither of them gave a single glance back at the bodies. They had already confirmed that the kids were dead, so there wasn't any point in checking on them again. The duo quickly entered the house and closed the door behind them. The elderly couple's expression fell when they saw
Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 89: Next Move
Billy immediately zoned in on what Jacqueline was pointing at, but he couldn't see anything unusual. However, just because he didn't see anything didn't mean that Jacqueline didn't. He continued to observe for a bit, with nothing happening. Jacqueline fidgeted at his side, obviously concerned that he hadn't said anything about what she had seen."Can you tell me what you saw?" he asked."You didn't see it?" she asked instead.He shook his head and said, "No."She frowned before saying, "I thought I saw something moving towards the bodies.""Well, either you're mistaken or something scared them off," he said.Billy wasn't sure which he preferred. Well, that wasn't quite right. He would rather it be the former than the latter. At least with the former, he would only have to deal with offending Jacqueline, who he didn't think would begrudge him for his thoughts. If it were the latter, what had scared the person away? Did they somehow know someone was watching and wanted to wait until no
Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 90: Preparing to Move Out
Billy vaguely thought to himself how the elderly woman's words and the current situation would have been heartwarming under different circumstances. Well, he was sure that Jacqueline was really affected by the elderly woman's words. For his part, he felt apathetic about the whole thing. Despite having lived with them for some time, he didn't have the same attachment as Jacqueline.However, he felt that there was something off about her words and asked, "I don't mean to be rude, but what are your intentions by coming with us?""Billy," Jacqueline said, shocked that he would ask such a thing."We're saying that if push comes to shove, we would rather be used as bait to protect you," the elderly man said.Jacqueline gasped as Billy frowned and said, "That's not necessary.""What if you're stuck in a situation where you need to sacrifice someone to save yourselves?" the elderly woman asked."I will be blunt. I think that would only happen if you came with us," Billy said."Billy," Jacquel
Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 91: Moving Out
"Is everyone ready?" Billy asked as he observed everyone."I'm good," Jacqueline said."We're good," the elderly couple said."Then let's go," he said as he led the pack.Billy headed towards the front doors and signaled for the elderly couple to turn off the security system. He had already checked the cameras earlier, so he knew that it was clear for them to go out. Of course he would rather do a thorough check before going out, but there was only so much they could do. The elderly man reached out to the control panel and hesitated.Everyone could see his arm shake, and it wasn't from old age. The elderly woman placed a shaky hand on his shoulder as he steeled himself. The elderly man took several calming breaths before he turned off the security. Instantly, all the defenses were turned off. Billy took the chance to open the front door slightly and peeked through the small opening to confirm if it was safe to go out.The coast was still clear. He slowly pushed the door open before he
Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 92: Dealing With the Injured
"What?" Jacqueline shouted before slapping a hand over her mouth when she saw the look Billy was giving her.Billy then turned his attention back on to the old man and asked, "Why should we?"The old man scoffed. "Isn't it the obvious answer? All I'm going to end up doing is slow you down. Rather than be the reason that you guys die, I would prefer if you just go on without me."While the others pushed the old man to reconsider, Billy considered his words. The elderly man wasn't wrong. That was exactly what he had been thinking just moments before. Honestly, the best solution would be to leave him behind and keep moving forward. It wasn't anything personal. In the current state of things, being realistic was necessary to survive.However, Billy also knew that the others wouldn't accept it so easily, not with how close they were. If he even tried to suggest it, they would probably jump down his throat and refuse to even consider it. Rather than try to convince them himself, he was goin
