Survivor Evolution: demonic system

Introduction 2 (the world)

"We have remained with only thirty minutes. Then this survival selections will be over." Lazy answered with a dull look. He seemed to be tired yet energetic at the same time.

"That is..." Master Chen was suddenly interjected by the system. Lazy Wafula also heard it clearly. The interface window appeared by itself without him willing it.

"Ding"

Quest [ Survive the infected encroachment in the remaining thirty minutes. Make sure that you don't die within these thirty minutes. After this, those remaining survivors will be deemed as the "awakened" and big rewards will be coming your way.]

[ For this "last fight to survive", I will be offering you guys free chances. What are these chances, these are the added buffs that will help you survive and for the first time, I am offering everyone three free revival chances on top of the health, energy and agility.]

"Status"

[ Name : Lazy Wafula ]

[ Exp : 0/100 ]

[ Energy : 80/ 100 ]

[State / Health : Normal ]

[ Agility : 80 + 5 ]

[Revival : 0/3 ]

[Strength : above average]

[ The Exp bar and energy bar will increase with each successful kill of the infected. The revival chances on the other hand will increase every time the exp bar is filled. Note that you have only three revival chances. When the three revival chances are used up and they turn to zero, even if you have a full Exp bar, you will no longer be revived if you die. ]

This was the latest notification that each surviver received and for the first time, they were given revival chances. Lazy knew that the system will not allow those who had survived until this moment to die miserably. It hopes that everyone will survive to see the next life, but also Lazy Wafula didn't think that things were as simple as they were. When the system rewards them with something, there was usually an added responsibility or the level of swink was then increased and this will usually lower the survival rate. This had made everyone to stop celebrating when the system offered them rewards because they knew that with the rewards, comes responsibility.

The system had also rewarded Lazy Wafula an addition of five in the agility bar.

"I think things are not going to be easy from now on. Something that can make this stingy system to reward us with revival chances is beyond our imaginations. We need to be prepared for what is going to come our way." Lazy Wafula said with a frown plastered on his face.

"This system is truly fu*king with our minds. I must survive until this motherfu*king Genesis comes to an end, may be after that I may freed myself from the clutches and slavery of this stupid system and Genesis." Master Chen was obstinate. He stretched his arms and legs by kicking and punching the air just to show his preparedness, but he can not help but feel his heart racing. He didn't knew if it was him being anxious or ecstatic to eventually end this sh*t called Genesis. Queen Nakhumicha just curled her lips as if looking down upon the "tactical" Master Chen.

"Even if a storm is brewing, let's go and meet those guys as we had planned earlier. I heard that Madam Ross still had that thing on her back and she never untied it since she got her hands on it." Lazy Wafula told Master Chen nonchalantly with a dull look.

"The stupid system sure is torturous. Some quests are just absurd. I really pity Madam Ross, she had been forced to carry that coffin til the end of Genesis. If it were me, I would have already freaked out. I don't know what is inside that coffin that the system doesn't want it to be destroyed. I am sure even Madam Ross herself doesn't know what she is carrying. The damn coffin is sealed tight... What if she is carrying some remains of someone. Well, I don't even want to think about it." Master Chen was all talkative incoherently.

When the thought of Madam Ross came to his mind, Master Chen then remembered about his quest that the system gave him. He willed his interface window and an intangible screen appeared in from of his eyes. You should know that this interface window was only visible to its holder and no other being which were not connected with the holder can see the system even if that person was a friend or a relative of the holder. Master Chen clicked the quest avatar which was still colour blue showing that the quest was still ongoing.

[ Survive together with the bloodsucking spider intact. If you kill it or get it killed, then you will have failed the quest.] ( Name : Blood sucking spider )

(Health : Normal )

Master Chen heaved a sigh when he saw the state of the spider. There was a vague image of the bloodsucking spider on his back shown on the screen. He had taken good care of the spider as if it was his own baby. This spider had become so chubby because he had allowed it to suck his blood for a long time. It had even dug on his skin becoming a part of it. If this spider was removed from his back right now, there would be a lesion left on that part of the skin from where it had been removed. That was how deep this spider had dug on his skin. Master Chen can not help but feel a chill every time he glanced at this spider. He had felt the urge of wanting to grasp the chubby thing and crush it in the palm of his hand but he held back every time when he thought about this Genesis thingy.

He had seen how desperate those who had failed their quest were, they died just the next moment they failed the quest, it didn't matter however strong they were. Actually, he also had to thank this spider because it was pushing him and giving him the will to finish the test because what was in his mind was just about the day when it would be decided that Genesis countdown had come to end. That was the time when he will grasp this thing and crush it so that he can feel the overwhelming rush of calming emotions after removing the parasite off him.

He had to live as he awaited that day, his sucked blood can not just go to waste like that. He had never told anyone about his quest in fear that they may backstab him and kill the bloodsucking spider, you never knew the treacherous nature of human beings after all. He had to be watchful at all times. not only being watchful of the minions of the world, but also his fellow humans especially those who had failed the test as some of those guys becomes jealous and before they died, they kill their fellows just to go down with them.

As they run towards the underground base where they had separated with their friends a long time ago, they can't help but cast several glances at the surroundings. It seemed like things had changed overly. The streets that they left when it was just a little destroyed was now in an even more bad shape.

The tall skyscrapers that towered up to the clouds were either bending while leaning on other buildings or they had been destroyed completely. Some of them were as if a giant worm had passed through them leaving behind huge gaping holes, others were as if they had been slashed in to two while some which were covered with glass panes, all the glass had shattered leaving them in a sorry state. The magnificent city was no longer how it used to be. Everything had changed, the city didn't even have that liveliness that it used to have. It had refused to house its inhabitants and it was even making a life difficult for those who had survived.

This world no longer wants to see a human life walking here and there freely. It was as if the human life is a soil to it, something disgusting like a parasitic worm that needs to be dewormed so that the world can go back to its lively days. The survivers were like the mutant worms that the world was still searching for a way to take them out. It was either the world that suffers the ending or the people who had remained. Either of the two must be erased. Will the world allow the survivers to win in this game? You should know that if the few survivers win, the world will be erased from existance by the power behind this Genesis thingy but if the world wins that will mean that all the survivors didn't make it in this last battle within the remaining thirty minutes. These minutes may seem to be a little time but it was a long time for sure. Many will be eliminated in this round.

As they were almost reaching their destination, Master Chen darted a glance at a slim yet tall skyscrapers with the name CHEN TECH flickering on top of it. This building remained standing only because it had leaned on another one behind it but in the middle of its body, it was bent and it seemed it was only the reinforcements which were holding it in place as it would have already come crushing down on the street to add on the "grandeur" appearance of the city. Master Chen can not help but feel like some needles were pricking his chest, he felt suffocated. That building was one of his assets and it had costed him greatly just to have that building stationed in this city.

"Those dumb*sses! If I get a chance, I will kill the person behind this." Master Chen vowed while fuming inside.

Bomas, this was where they were to meet with the other group of their friends. Lazy Wafula can clearly hear some vague sounds of people conversing with each other in that cone shaped building. This building unlike the others, it didn't fall because it was only a single floor building.

No sooner had Lazy Wafula and Master Chen reached close to bomas, than the world unfolded the last fight to survive. Lazy Wafula took out his tablet and saw that it was perfectly timing.

[ 00 : 29 : 59 ]

Thirty minutes, they have to survive this little time that had remained to be deemed as the awakened as said by the system.

Lazy Wafula threw away his tablet as it will no longer help him and tied Queen Nakhumicha tightly on his back. It was now time to be serious. This last elimination round will not be like playing house the way the previous ones were. This one was a must fight, there was no surrender or hiding. he can feel the whole world was screaming, the world will not allow them to win, it was going all out. He can feel the tremor and the high piercing screeches of beings that he had never seen. Seeing that Queen Nakhumicha was safe, Lazy Wafula took out his two machete which he had kept in their sheaths on his chest in a cross manner.

"I am happy that you guys came. Let's spent our last moments together. I would have liked us to converse and eat something but it is quite a shame that time is not on our side. With that, let's finish these bastards." Madam Ross who had a coffin tied on her back with steel chains said expressionlessly. You may have thought that the heaviness of this coffin will tire her out but that was not the case, the survivers had been buffed by the system in such a way that the weakest of them all can lift up a load weighing a ton. So to Madam Ross, this coffin was as light as a feather and she will never take it off her back even if it was time for her to sleep. Madam Ross was a middle-aged woman with an ancestral origin of the people from the American federation. In Madam Ross's group, they were three people. A teenager of about sixteen years and an old hag.
