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

"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
Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 93: Splitting Up
While Billy didn't find anything useful, he at least was able to confirm that the place was secure. There were no zombies or other survivors lurking around any corners. It was a pity that there wasn't anything for them to take, like food or medicine, but they were already carrying heavy bags, so perhaps it was for the best. Once he was done looking around, he returned to check up on the others.The old man was already back on his feet, and Billy asked, "Are you ready?""Ready as I can be," the elderly man said.Billy nodded before turning his attention to the other two who reluctantly nodded. No more words were passed between them as the old man headed for the door. The others watched as he slowly made his way back out. As he walked away, the others kept an eye for the shooter and other possible threats. Nothing got in the elderly man's way as he continued to walk away.He disappeared from view, and they strained their ears for any gunshots. IT was dead silent. Of course that didn't m
Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 94: Zombies on the Move
As soon as the duo entered the building, Billy quickly shut the door behind them and shoved a piece of furniture up against the door. Then he signaled for them to hurry upstairs as quietly as possible. Since they still had no idea what attracted the zombies, they could only hope they were drawn by noise and not smell. The group slowly made their way upstairs and entered one of the rooms with a window.While Jacqueline and the elderly woman made sure not to get too close to the window, he carefully made his way to the window. Making sure to stay out of sight, he peeked outside to catch a glimpse of the zombies. The horde lumbered through the street below them, and he was uneasy at the large numbers in front of him. They wouldn't make it out in one piece if they were to face them.Fortunately, none of them seemed to care about entering the building. They continued down the street without giving the building they were in a second glance. However, he didn't look away in case that might ch
Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 95: Hidden Shooter
"Hold on. Stay with us," Jacqueline said as tears fell from her eyes.Billy didn't say anything as blood continued to pour from the wound. The bullet must have hit something vital with the large amount of blood they were seeing. He was beginning to think that the chances of saving the old woman were close to zero. Even if they did patch up the wound, the chances of it becoming infected were extremely high, especially given her age.The old woman coughed before saying, "Give up on me.""What? Don't talk like that. We'll patch you up," Jacqueline said.The elderly woman grabbed one of Jacqueline's hands in a vice grip and said, "Jacqueline, listen to me. We all know that I won't make it."Jacqueline sniffled as her hands shook. "No.""You two need to get out of here before it's too late," the old woman said. "Just go."Jacqueline continued to shake her head in denial and muttered no repeatedly. There was no way she was going to willingly leave the elderly woman behind. That was clear to
Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 96: Hide and Seek
It was silent for some time before Billy finally heard footsteps approaching their location. They were so faint that he wouldn't have been able to pick up on it if he wasn't completely focused on listening for them. He made sure to slow his breathing so he wouldn't give himself away as he prepared his gun. With the way he was positioned, he couldn't see who or where the person was.The only thing he was sure about them was that it wasn't the zombies. The zombies wouldn't be careful about not being heard. That was something only a person could do, unless the zombies suddenly gained intelligence. Billy grimaced at the thought. He really hoped it wasn't the latter. The last thing they needed were intelligent zombies.All he could do was wait for them to come into view and take them out or leave. The footsteps continued to come closer and closer, only to suddenly stop. He strained his ears, hoping he would pick up on something. Unfortunately, he couldn't hear a single thing. The person ha
Rise of the Desperate: Billy Wood's Save and Restart System Chapter 97: Error
"Jacqueline, you need to get us out of here," Billy snapped."I don't understand what's going on," Jacqueline said."This isn't the time to talk. We're going to die at this rate if you don't get us out of here," he said.For a moment, it looked like she wasn't going to be able to get them away safely. Suddenly, her expression hardened before they disappeared and reappeared elsewhere. He stumbled as they hit the pavement. Billy quickly recovered and saw that they were not far from the house filled with zombies. In fact, they were only several feet away.Billy grimaced at how close they were. He would have preferred that Jacqueline sent them farther away, but it couldn't be helped. They would just have to run until Jacqueline could teleport them again, they escaped the zombies, or they found a place to hide. In the back of his mind, he noted that the old woman's body was ignored by the zombies.From where they were, he couldn't tell how she died. The
