Rise of the Desperate: Donald Carter's Zombie Survival Guide Chapter 133: To Change Groups or Not
Ignoring the internal crisis Donald was going through, Arthur said, "I can assume you can't talk about it. It must have something to do with that guy's power."Arthur's words were enough to bring Donald out of his thoughts about how Arthur would react to his relationship with Nicole. It made sense that a power was involved. He wanted to say it wasn't possible, but he couldn't confidently say there was no such power. All kinds of powers existed, so powers that were kind of demonic or beyond their understanding existed.However, Nicole proved them wrong by shaking her head. "It's not his power. I can't tell you much, but it's definitely not Walter's power."There were several assumptions they could make based on her sentence. One of them was that someone else in Walter's group had used their power on her. If that was the case, then it had to be someone close, or someone that Walter thought wouldn't betray him at least. Another was that Walter's power wasn't remotely close to anything me
Rise of the Desperate: Donald Carter's Zombie Survival Guide Chapter 134: Recovery
Donald groaned as he regained awareness. His side ached. He couldn't believe he blacked out just like that. Was that supposed to happen when someone lost a lot of blood? He couldn't be sure, as this was the first time it had ever happened to him. Taking a look at his surroundings, he saw he was in some kind of doctor's office. It was the best way he could describe it.Forcing himself to sit up, he winced and hissed at the throbbing pain. Looking down, he saw that his injuries had been bandaged. Since he could still feel pain and could clearly see bandages, it looked like he had received regular treatment, not that he was ungrateful. He just recalled Arthur mentioning they had someone with a healing power and assumed they could have dealt with it.He huffed. Of course, he shouldn't have expected that to be the case. Why would Arthur offer such a valuable resource when Donald hadn't agreed to be part of the group? However, why had he been treated if that was the case? It made more sense
Rise of the Desperate: Donald Carter's Zombie Survival Guide Chapter 135: Clearing Up Some Matters (1)
"You need to be careful not to aggravate your injuries unless you want them to get worse," the doctor said as the duo were leaving."I will," Donald said, waving farewell to the doctor.The man had actually been a doctor, and not someone with some experience treating injured people. Donald briefly wondered if that man had been forced to join the group against his will, but he quickly decided it was best not to think about it. Nicole still refused to talk about what she talked to Arthur about in order to convince him to let him live.Donald sighed. The only way he was going to get that information was if he approached Arthur instead, but he doubted he would get any straight answers either or if Arthur would want to make a deal for the information. It wasn't worth trying to confront the man. Besides, he wanted to avoid being alone with the man for any period of time. Who knew if the guy would attempt to brainwash him?"So how long do we have to stay here?" he asked. "Also, are we going
Rise of the Desperate: Donald Carter's Zombie Survival Guide Chapter 136: Clearing Up Some Matters (2)
Donald blinked. Rubbing his eyes, he stared at the message again to confirm what he was seeing. That sounded like a poor way of ensuring he stayed informed. Was that why he missed some announcements? Had he been indisposed and it decided that it couldn't tell him next time when he was available? He definitely wasn't going to let it slide."From now on, I want you to tell me as soon as possible any new information that comes up. Don't wait for me to ask," he said.[Understood. The system will notify the user as soon as the user is available about any new information.]With a sigh, he covered his face with one hand. Recalling that he wasn't alone, he looked up to see Nicole's expectant expression. She probably wanted to know what the deal was between him and the system. Donald huffed. He wondered if she had gone through something similar with her own system. She did say it was a lot worse than his was."Apparently, it won't share information if it arrives when I'm unconscious or otherwi
Rise of the Desperate: Donald Carter's Zombie Survival Guide Chapter 137: Three Groups
As Donald stared at the messages in front of him, he wondered how he got into the mess. It was one thing to know that the Fighting Executioners had intended to register him as part of his group. So why was the system telling him that there was an error as he had been registered for at least two other groups? How was that even possible? Shouldn't the system have stopped it from happening?"What now?" he asked as he was still trying to process how he was considered part of three groups.[The system is uncertain as this is unprecedented.][You're the only one that has been registered three times by three separate groups.]"I can see that," he dryly said as he looked back at the three names in front of him.Donald recognized one other group as Elizabeth's group. He hadn't expected to see the ridiculous name again, but why had she added his name to her group? Had she gotten the wrong idea about him and thought of him as part of her group? He was pretty sure he made it clear he wasn't going
Rise of the Desperate: Donald Carter's Zombie Survival Guide Chapter 138: Battle Royale (1)
[The battle royale has started.][Please go to the following location listed.][You have ten minutes to kill as many zombies as possible.]Looking away from the message, he scanned his surroundings. He had already been split up from Nicole and was actually in the same group as Patricia and Ronald. Arthur had probably done that on purpose, but he didn't argue against it. It didn't matter who was in his group as long as they were strong enough to kill a lot of zombies.Actually, he didn't really care about winning the battle royale that much outside of learning who the zombie user was. Once they were able to track down and deal with the zombie user, this nightmare would finally be over. That would be a dream. He sighed as he hoped that things would be resolved soon so he wouldn't be constantly worried about his family being killed by zombies."Does anyone know where this is?" someone asked."I think I do," another said."Well, what are you waiting for? Lead us. Time is already ticking,"
Rise of the Desperate: Donald Carter's Zombie Survival Guide Chapter 139: Battle Royale (2)
Five minutes quickly passed, and everyone received the first set of scores. Everyone ravenously scanned the list to see how the groups were faring. Unsurprisingly, Arthur's group was in the lower section of the scoring because they had missed their chance. It seemed no one had tried to kill another person to boost the score. Most of those that were tied for last place didn't have any points whatsoever.Donald couldn't imagine how Arthur would react to the results, and he was glad he wasn't in the same group as him. He took a moment to check in with his system to figure out what was going to happen now. While he wanted to enjoy the brief reprieve between the sections, he couldn't since he was officially part of three groups. He needed to see if he should head to the next location."What's the verdict?" he asked.[It is up to the user.
Rise of the Desperate: Donald Carter's Zombie Survival Guide Chapter 140: Battle Royale (3)
Donald paused to catch his breath and observe the carnage he unleashed. Corpses of zombies surrounded him. No one had dared get close to him as he struck zombie after zombie using his power. He took a moment to check how many points he had earned. When he saw the number, he scowled. He had only earned thirty three points despite all his effects. He had killed way more than thirty three zombies.In the past, he would have at least earned one point per zombie. It was all because of the penalties. Combing a hand through his hair, he was about ready to head off to track more zombies when the results came out. Immediately lowering his knife, he sat down on a piece of rubble to see what place the three groups were. They were still about the same, but it would probably change as more time passed. Well, at least for Elizabeth's and Arthur's groups.The chances of Walter's group suddenly dropping from first place weren't imaginable. It simply wasn't going to happen. Speaking of Walter's group,

Author's Note
Hello everyone. I just want to thank all my readers who have been following along for so long. Donald's story has ended unless readers are interested in a sequel.I didn't expect to finish this story so quickly. Compared to my other two books, this one was completed in no time flat which I'm both proud and sad.Anyway, there are several things that I want to let you know.I'm hoping to wrap Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race up before the end of the year, but we'll have to see.I also intend to start a new story on Meganovel either in the same setting as Rise of the Demon King, but with no connections to the other two books or a different setting entirely. Maybe I'll do another zombie story.On another note, I've been debating whether I should publish a book not on Meganovel, but as an eBook like on A****n. It'll be under a different name since it'll be different than what I post here. It's something I'm considering.The last thing to note is that I'm still on the fence

Chapter 188: The Aftermath (2)
"I didn't realize he had his own group," Walter said as he looked at Donald.Donald's father nodded. "My son is a very capable man, so if you may excuse us, we need to get going. The rest of our group is waiting for us.""Hold it," Arthur said. "I find it suspicious that Donald has his own group but was going around joining other groups. Was he trying to sabotage other groups?"Even though Donald wanted to speak up, his father spoke over him and said, "I'm afraid that was because we had gotten separated. He didn't intend to do anything to your groups. He was simply trying to stick with a group until we could meet back up."Listening to everyone talk, Donald found himself wondering if something had happened while he wasn't aware. Why were his family and the others acting like he was the leader of a group? That wasn't true unless they had secretly made him the leader without him noticing. They hadn't, right? He really hoped they didn't because he wasn't leader material."I would still l

Chapter 187: The Aftermath (1)
Walter frowned as he observed his surroundings. All the zombies collapsed after the news that the zombie user was dead was announced. It was hard to accept that the threat hanging over their heads was really gone, but the proof was right in front of him. Well, until he saw the body, it couldn't really be called proof. However, there was a reason why he hadn't gone in.Whoever had killed the zombie user was still inside. Instead of rushing and possibly offending such a powerful person, he would rather wait outside to meet them. He needed to make a favorable impression on them if he was going to get them on his side. Now that they were free from the shakles of the zombie apocalypse, they were free to do whatever they wanted.If he got the person who killed the zombie user on his side, people would flock towards them. He just needed to raise up the hero, and his group would be the one people looked to. However, the hero hadn't made his appearance yet. Walter wondered what was taking them

Chapter 186: What Comes After the Zombie Apocalypse
"Are you alright?" Nicole asked as she stared at Donald, who was staring at Amanda's lifeless body.Snapping out of it, Donald said, "Yeah, I'm good."Nicole frowned as Elizabeth said, "You don't have to lie. It can't be easy to kill someone."That was right. He was a murderer now. The thought felt strange. When he was strangling Amanda, it didn't feel real. It was like watching a stranger kill with his hands. She was unexpectedly sturdy, so he ended up relying on his power to finish her, and he wasn't talking about his electrical power. He ended up using his fire power for the first time.He wasn't sure what possessed him to do it, but he called up his fire to burn her body to a crisp. His hands still stung from the flames he had unleashed. Since it was still weak, he wasn't invulnerable to fire. Fortunately, his father was able to heal them, though he couldn't meet Donald's eyes. That was fine. He understood why his father was acting that way.Despite knowing this, it still hurt tha

Chapter 185: Anticlimactic Finish
After several moments of silence, Donald asked, "What just happened?""I'm not sure," Nicole admitted as she lowered her arms.The group was still trying to process what had just happened. They had been fighting for their lives against Amanda, who decided to call for backup, which was a giant hand. However, the giant hand had turned against her and crushed her instead. It was actually quite anti climatic. The one person who had been terrorizing everyone had been finished off just like that.That's when Donald noticed that the zombies were still moving. "Guys, I think she's still alive."Everyone stared at him in disbelief as Donna said, "You can't be serious. You saw what happened, didn't you?"Of course he had. His eyes had been wide open since he wasn't one of them who flinched. However, how would it explain why the zombies were still moving? If she were dead, they would have surely stopped since her power would no longer be moving them. The system also hadn't made any announcements

Chapter 184: Making Their Move
Donald flinched when he heard Amanda's scream of rage. Looking back, he met her bloodshot eyes with his own. She was practically seething with rage. It was fortunate that he was able to take the hostages while she was distracted, or else she might have killed them right then and there. What was even better was that his mother and Elizabeth were waking up."How dare you," she snapped."Is that all you have to say?" Donna taunted. "I suppose you don't have the brains to think of anything else."He was relieved that Donna drew Amanda's attention away, but he was now worried that she might have bitten off more than she could chew. Now that she had Amanda's undivided attention, she was in serious trouble. Donna had only managed to kill one zombie so far. The others were only slightly injured, as they were more powerful than before."What's going on?" his mother muttered, drawing Donald's attention.Bending down, he looked her in the face as he said, "Mom, I know you're confused, but we rea

Chapter 183: Choosing a Hostage
Amanda cackled. "I thought so. There's no way you would pick your family."Donald could only grit his teeth and glare as she dared to touch them with her dirty hands. It was disgusting watching her get all handsy with them, especially when they weren't awake. If he could, he would rip her hands off so she couldn't touch any of them again. Unfortunately, all he could do was watch as her hands trailed from his family members to Donna."You know I considered purposely letting the person you choose be the last one just to see the look on your face," she said, causing his heart to lurch. "However, I'll be nice this time and listen to you this time."As she said this, she suddenly shoved Donna forward. Her head hit the ground with a loud thud. As if breaking free from a spell, Donna snapped her eyes open. She blinked several times with a groan. Then she took a good look at her surroundings. Seeing the glazed look in her eyes, Donald could tell she was still out of it from whatever Amanda di

Chapter 182: Thoughts of Revenge
The dark look on Amanda's face sent shivers down Donald's spine. "Is that so? Then I'll take responsibility."Donald immediately realized he had gone too far, but it wasn't entirely his fault. Trying to reason with an insane person was difficult, especially when she wasn't willing to listen to logic. What was more worrying was that she was now bending over the hostages as if deciding what to do with them. He didn't like where this was going. However, there was nothing he could do as she laid a hand on his sister."How about I feed one of them to my zombies? How does that sound?" she asked with a sinister smile."Don't!" he shouted as he took a step forward.The zombies around them immediately reacted and stepped forward, making him stop in his tracks as Amanda said, "You shouldn't make any sudden movements. You don't want to make things worse, do you?"He scowled. "Don't lay a hand on them."She only smirked. "I think I like this new plan better. What better way to get revenge than to

Chapter 181: Meeting the Zombie User
Donald gasped as he opened his eyes. Sitting up, he immediately checked himself over. There didn't appear to be any bitemarks anywhere. In fact, he didn't appear to be injured in the slightest. Any scrapes or bruises he had could be chalked up to being pushed to the ground by the zombies, which didn't make sense now that he thought about it.Why hadn't the zombies tried to bite or kill him? If the zombie user was out to get him, it would make sense for the zombies to hurt him. However, it seemed that they had been careful with him, which wasn't something he thought was possible. How were zombies capable of moving him with their stiff and awkward bodies? Finally taking the time to check his surroundings, he saw that he was in the company building."Why am I here?" he muttered to himself."You're awake," someone said.He spun around to see who spoke, but he couldn't see anyone except zombies. Donald was immediately struck by the memory of what happened before he blacked out and flinched
