Rise of the Desperate: Donald Carter's Zombie Survival Guide Chapter 62: Zombies Incoming
Donald didn't need to tell them twice as the group rushed for the building he pointed at. Surprisingly, the person who was in the lead was Robert. Despite how much he was carrying, he acted like they were light as a feather. Elizabeth and her group really lucked out on recruiting him. What hole did that guy crawl out of, and how did he manage not to turn out to be a prick?He was pulled out of his thoughts as Betty swore, causing Elizabeth to snap, "Language.""Is this really the time to be judging me for cursing?" Betty snapped back."The zombies are getting closer," Willie called from above as he watched anxiously from above.That was enough to cut off further arguments as Robert reached the building first. The man tossed his bags up one by one. Donald winced at the sight. It was a good thing that there was nothing fragile in the bags, like glass containers, but he was sure some of the food had gotten crushed. Well, this wasn't the time to be picky about how Robert got the bags up t
Rise of the Desperate: Donald Carter's Zombie Survival Guide Chapter 63: Beginning the Counterattack
"Ready?" Donald asked as he studied the group in front of him.Even though they seemed reluctant, they still nodded. Donald returned the nod. Willie launched himself into the air before heading off in one direction. The zombies didn't seem to notice him and continued to claw at the rest of the survivors. Betty stepped forward with a grimace on her face as she pointed her hands toward the crowd of zombies.At first, nothing seemed to happen. Then he noticed how something seemed to be moving beneath the zombies. A couple of them stumbled, giving Donald a view of a forming mound. It was only a few inches tall, and the only reason he had been able to spot it was because he had been watching out for it. Betty's power really was weak if that was all she was capable of.More mounds began to appear, causing the zombies to stumble. Some of the stumbling zombies
Rise of the Desperate: Donald Carter's Zombie Survival Guide Chapter 64: Regrouping
It was a long and tedious process to kill the zombies, but in actuality, it only took them maybe at most thirty minutes. In any case, Donald was happy to say that most of them have been dealt with and that he had earned quite a bit of points. He now had twenty five points to use. With that amount, he could easily upgrade his conductivity or range.Of course, that had only been because several of the zombies had given him two points. Otherwise, you have only gained fifteen points for killing fifteen zombies instead of twenty three points. He had been lucky to even kill that many since the majority had been claimed by Robert and Elizabeth. After seeing what they were capable of, it was no surprise.As for Anna and Betty, Donald wasn't sure that they even earned a point. Fortunately for them, there did seem to be a few zombies still moving. The only reason why no one in the group had taken
Rise of the Desperate: Donald Carter's Zombie Survival Guide Chapter 65: Cleaning Up the Last of the Zombies
As Anna was the last one to be brought down from the roof, the group observed the carnage up close. Betty had a grimace on her face as she blocked her mouth and nose with her sleeve. Willie, on the other hand, was spinning circles above them. Donald really wondered what the kid's power's limitations were. It seemed like he could stay up there for as long as he wanted.If Willie could remain in the air indefinitely, then he would never have to worry about zombies getting to him except when he needed food, shelter, and sleep. Donald intended to ask him about it later because it felt like that shouldn't be the case. That kind of advantage wasn't something he thought the system would let them have so early without some consequences."Betty, Anna, come here," Elizabeth called as she made a waving motion.Next to her was Donna, who had a foot on one of the crawling zombies to keep it in place. It clawed desperately at Elizabeth, who stood a little bit away so it wouldn't be touching her, bu

After Willie finished his report, Donald asked, "Is that everything?""Yup," the kid said as he nodded his head vigorously."Donald," Elizabeth said as she stared at him, waiting to hear what plan he pulled out of his butt.Donald really didn't like their odds. Apparently, about two thirds of the zombies were still hanging around the base and had managed to get past the first two lines of defenses. Their defenses had been a bunch of obstacles to slowing down the zombies. He wasn't sure how they managed to get a bunch of cars to make a circle around the building, but they had them as their first line of defense.There were also the metal fences acting as the second line of defense, which seemed to have been pulled out of thin air. It was completely bizarre. Where could they have gotten them from? People didn't just leav

Seeing the look in their eyes, Donald found himself saying, "It'll be fine. We'll work it out."This appeased them as their uncertain expressions transformed into smiles. He probably shouldn't have said that. Donald knew that there was no guarantee that everything would be okay and that he shouldn't be getting their hopes like that. It would hurt if things went wrong, but he was reminded of his little sister and couldn't bring himself to tear them down.Out of the corner of his eyes, he noticed how Elizabeth was smiling at him and how the tense atmosphere wasn't as heavy as before. Robert's expression had lightened up while Betty huffed and crossed her arms across her chest. She didn't look as murderous as before, but she still threw dark looks in Donna's direction. The woman ignored them, choosing to focus her attention on Elizabeth.Donald took the le
Rise of the Desperate: Donald Carter's Zombie Survival Guide Chapter 68: Planning on Saving the Base (3)
There was a shift in Elizabeth and Donna's eyes as Elizabeth said, "I haven't upgraded my power either. The system really demands a lot."Donna threw a look at her, but Elizabeth and Donald ignored her. She wasn't important at the moment. What was important was that Elizabeth had accepted his olive branch. Even though she hadn't told him what her power was, he could already deduce some things based on her words. One of them being that she currently didn't have enough points to upgrade her power.The information itself wasn't much. However, he could use it to determine that she had either upgraded all her options to the second level or she had specialized. Considering how powerful she was, he would guess that she specialized in power. Of course he could be completely off the mark, but the fact she chose to say anything showed she was open to sharing.Com
Rise of the Desperate: Donald Carter's Zombie Survival Guide Chapter 69: Heading for the Base
After giving them some time to discuss, Donald approached the huddled group and asked, "Well, have you come to a decision?"The group broke apart as Elizabeth said, "Yes. We want to attempt the pincer attacker first. If that fails, then we will fall back on leading them back here to thin the numbers out. The last resort would be to lead them to another group of survivors."At the last part, she looked pained when saying it. He was admittedly surprised to hear that they would consider that option. Donald had been sure they would have never accepted the idea. Glancing at the other members, he suspected that Donna had made a very convincing argument as to why it should be kept as an option. Thinking about it, he could see why it was a good idea to keep it."I see that you've incorporated all my suggestions," he said.

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
