Chapter 2
It only took a few seconds, Oliver was impatient and when Dae opened his mouth, he tensed up even more.
“You will get quests to complete. And the prizes can be skills, items, bloodlines, or special objects. Of course, it will make your strength increase”
Dae's explanation left Oliver speechless. He didn't expect that he couldn't just calm down even if he obtained the Apocalypse survival system.
He had to do a quest?
“Then, when will I get the quest?” He wanted to know everything immediately to think of any necessary action.
"The system will tell you." Dae took the burger that was in front of Oliver, ate it in one gulp and Oliver looked around him restlessly.
His eyes widened because what Dae did just now could have been seen by other humans.
"They won't see it."
Dae tilted his head, and he responded calmly.
"You don't have any questions? If there aren't any, I'll go back and take a nap."
Oliver immediately caught Dae's hand, and he spoke. "The text that appeared on the notification screen is the time of the incident, right? Can't I prevent it? For example, are the zombies due to the umbrella company or something? For example, I have to prevent before the damn zombie explosion, so there won't be more zombie attacks in the world and I can live in peace afterward." Oliver stuttered several times as he said it. Cold sweat appeared and he was confused about how to explain, he hoped that Dae would understand his words which seemed fast.
Dae gave him a flat, annoying human.
"You won't be able to prevent it. I don't know where the zombies came from, just enjoy this zombie attack."
Oliver opened his mouth, scary. This guide is creepy because he is cold and heartless, and the fact that zombies can't be prevented from attacking is also terrifying.
Dae was about to move, and Oliver frantically held his hand tighter.
"Then how should I address you? You're my guide, and maybe I'll need you again."
Dae could see the human anxiety in front of him. A pitiful-looking weak human. Dae Grinning from ear to ear. A scary look that made Oliver's heartbeat he could hear clear.
"Like you called me earlier."
He immediately disappeared in front of Oliver, instantly making Oliver exhale.
"Very annoying guide." Oliver looked at his burger plate earlier and immediately called a waiter to order a burger again.

Oliver continued to carry out the plan he had thought up so quickly earlier.
He had managed to salvage his house deed and take it to the bank, being the rightful heir of this house he could mortgage it readily.
"I don't need that house anymore. Sorry mom and dad, but this is to save my life."
Oliver walked into the large bank that was in front of him. Because he had all the paperwork, the quick loan process relieved him.
"Tomorrow I have to come here again, they have prepared the money." Oliver saw the bank behind him, he smiled a little as he walked back.
“It's a bit cheap cheap, but that would buy me another place I could use to run away and stock up on lots of groceries.”
Oliver touched his chin, he remembered what Dae had taught him. A quest he will do.
"It seems I need a weapon to protect myself."
He had thought about it well, that his home was not the right home to survive. He would face a lot of zombies later in the middle of a city like this, he better finds a safer place than this.
He had to prepare weapons, food, and medicines properly. As he was thinking about what he should do,
His cell phone in his trouser pocket vibrated, Oliver immediately took the cell phone and saw a message from a friend.
"Come here, we should relax and have a drink."
Oliver quickly got on the bus to go to where Dereck was. He is a genuine friend and Oliver plans to take him along, avoiding the imminent apocalypse.
**
At the bar that Dereck had chosen, Oliver entered. He immediately saw Dereck trying to flirt with the woman beside him.
"Dereck, your hands are still wild." Oliver sat beside Dereck, who immediately ignored the woman beside him.
"A man should be like that." He took a sip of beer from the bottle.
"You look different than usual, Oliver. You didn't come to work today either."
Oliver took the drink the barman had just given him, he sipped his drink very casually.
"I quit work," he replied indifferently.
"You need money. You said your wife likes to buy nice things.”
Oliver's expression looked flat, he continued to drink beer from his glass.
“You fought with Della?” asked Dereck, he knew his friend loved Della.
"I don't have anything to do with her anymore, and I don't need that damn job anymore because the world is ending."
Dereck's brows knit together, something different was going on.
"You follow a cult?" asked Dereck suspiciously.
"Not." Oliver's body facing Dereck, he was silent for a few seconds with serious eyes. I told you we must make preparations to survive, Dereck."
“Ah, you are talking nonsense again. Are you going to show me some cheap magic trick again this time ?”
"In a few days, the world will be destroyed, I'm trying to save you, Dereck."
Dereck immediately touched Oliver's forehead in response to Oliver's strange words.
"Or do you have a strange virus that makes you ramble like this?" Dereck still did not accept Oliver's words.
Oliver paused for a moment, he tried to find a way to convince Dereck. Say anything, he will not be believed. He needs proof for Dereck to believe and follow him.
"Listen to me, two days away from the winner of MMA is Kevin Mark, the boxer you've been making fun of."
Oliver often heard from Dereck's mouth how weak Kevin's punches were; even Kevin had never won any matches. Then, his opponent in two days is Lander, last year's MMA winner.
Dereck's loud laughter was heard, he hit the table repeatedly, expressing his amusement at hearing his friend's words.
"That's impossible, Oliver!"
When he saw Oliver, Oliver's eyes were still severe.
"It's good that you don't think that's possible, when what I say comes true, you'll believe what I'm saying if we have to get out of here quickly."
Dereck swallowed his saliva. He didn't know that Oliver, who often walked around with his head down and complaining, was being so strict like this.
“Ah, I will give you a suggestion too, you better sell your fish. He's going to die, so don't miss the chance that people coming will buy him.”
Dereck was silent, he hadn't even told about a collector who came to see his fish and wanted to buy the fish for 1500$ Atlansia
“You give me goosebumps...” Dereck answered in a weak voice and started to get goosebumps himself.
**
Early in the morning, a very noisy cell phone was heard repeatedly.
Oliver got up from his bed and saw a phone call from Dereck. Two days had passed and it was only ten in the morning. Oliver smiled.
"Yeah, what's wrong, Dereck?" asked Oliver very casually.
He already knew what answer he would hear, but he wanted to hear Dereck himself say it.
“You are a psychic!?” Dereck's scream made Oliver's right ear hurt.
"Why?" asked Oliver in response calmly.
“Kevin Mark won against Lander! And... My fish poppy is dead!” He squeezed her hand tightly, feeling the frustration of experiencing two unexpected things that messed with his feelings.
"Now, you believe me?" Oliver asked Dereck.
At home, Dereck sat in a chair with a limp body. Popy's corpse was still floating in the aquarium that he had not cleaned.
"Yes. How about we meet, Oliver?” Dereck said in a neat voice. This made no sense, but he had seen the evidence himself.
Ding!Ding! Ding![Warning][Zombie Attack on Ranvier ][ Time 6 days, 1 hour]Oliver drank water from a bottle he took from the refrigerator. He was off work these days and heard Della's voice chattering about it."Everything is ready." Oliver put down the bottle in his hand, then saw Della was on the phone with someone."He must have called Henry, those two trash humans are a perfect match."Oliver walked towards his room, he ignored Della as if she wasn't even in this house. He had also prepared everything well to save himself.Oliver brushed his brown hair back after putting on his shirt.Ding!The notification sound came again, making his brows furrow this time."Ah, what is this?"[Gather food supplies, and save your loved ones.]Oliver read it carefully, he sat down on the sofa. "It turns out that this system has more heart than them." Oliver smiled, he already had a plan today and would do what the system asked him to do immediately.Della entered the room, she stared at Olive
"Oliver, it's been a long time since you came here. Your uncle and aunt think you've forgotten about us." Ilda hugged Oliver tightly. To her, Oliver was like her own son.It only took half an hour from where Oliver was to his house. However, Oliver was so busy working odd jobs that he found it difficult to get to Uncle Sam and Aunt Ilda."Sorry, Aunt. I've been swamped, I came to you because I wanted to give you something."Oliver spoke softly. Their embrace broke apart and Ilda and Sam looked at their nephew with great curiosity."Uncle and Aunt are coming with me for a vacation, okay?"Oliver spoke calmly, he had been thinking about how to evacuate the two of them. They had a hard time trusting Oliver. When Oliver was going to save them during that zombie attack, it would be hard. So, he better evacuates Sam and Ilda first."Holiday?" Sam saw Ilda, and they both looked surprised."There's a quiet place, I want Uncle and Aunt there. We haven't spent time together, so isn't that good
Henry froze where he stood, which he saw now was so absurd.“Zo-zombies…?” he asked in a weak voice. He didn't understand this, Della, who fell beside him, held Henry's hand firmly."W-we have to save ourselves, Henry!"Henry woke up from his reverie, he saw a scared Della beside him. His hands shaking, he took out the cell phone he had tucked under his jacket.Just as the phone was about to touch his ear, a strong punch directly hit Henry's hand."Aaaa! Damn it!"Henry held firmly the hand that was hit earlier. The cell phone fell on the floor and a piece of iron pipe immediately crushed the cell phone.Della looked at Oliver, who was looking at the both of them coldly."O-Oliver! You must protect me!" Della screamed and it made Oliver grin, Della's words stirred his stomach. It was so funny that he had to tightly hold the corners of his lips."Just ask Henry for help!" Oliver snapped, he had wanted to vent his anger on the two people in front of him for so long.Della stared at him
He watched through the binoculars, and from his position was the rifle he had prepared. Oliver had told Dereck that no one else could enter this place but himself.Dereck must be prepared to open the door for Oliver soon.From the binoculars he was using now, Dereck finally saw the van that Oliver had."That! That's it!"Dereck was so happy because he could see Oliver finally back, he thought with the chaos that was happening in the city, Oliver might die. But things are not calm, Dereck sees three zombies chasing the van that Oliver is riding.The zombies had white eyes, flesh that seemed to rot and peel off, their mouths opened wide, and they forced their jaws to work so that their lips were torn."Damn, zombies! They're so scary!"Dereck put the remote to open the gate beside him, after that he was busy chasing the rifle in front of him.As the van got closer to the gate, Dereck immediately pressed the button. Fifteen meters away, and he tensed up. What if the zombies manage to get
Lunch was made lavishly enough despite the frightful conditions outside. Those who have prepared for the apocalypse can rest easy.Warm French fries and meat in a fragrant sauce at least made them grateful.“You have a great blessing, Oliver. Your eyesight can save many people.” Ilda spoke while eating. At the dining table, the four of them looked at each other."Of course, aunt," Oliver replied. The situation between them became calmer compared to before.Oliver was gentle with them and secretly filled his mind with thoughts of surviving this."But why don't you tell this to the others?"The house was quite long and wide, and there were valuable items for them, Sam and Ilda knew that these couldn't be prepared in a day. "Uncles and aunts won't believe me if I say it?"That's why he lied to both of them, if he said a zombie attack was imminent, Ilda and Sam might insist on not coming with him.Oliver finished his meal, his statement based on facts that made Ilda pause for a second."
The two of them ate very hastily. They had finished a plate of noodles and returned to eating the bread in front of them.“I…mmm didn't know there was such an amazing place to hide.” With her mouth full, Vida spoke, she took in this whole cave which she found extraordinary.“That's amazing.. ugn...” She finally swallowed her food. Jane handed her a bottle of water and she drank it in such a hurry that she coughed a few times."Just take it easy. No one will take your food.” Ilda spoke so softly, making Vida blush.She wiped her mouth and then became calmer."How can you collect all the necessities here?" Vida is very excited. She even wore new clothes.Black big size T-shirt, there is water for bathing too here, this is very extraordinary."He's the one who prepared it." Dereck pointed at Oliver, who had been looking very quiet all along.Oliver raised his head, he felt that everyone was watching him and his guess was correct."What?" he asked flatly."How did you manage to prepare al
"They're not outside." Vida stared at Jane with wide eyes, then she looked at Sam and Ilda."I can't find them. It was so quiet outside, and the van they showed me yesterday wasn't there either."As Oliver manages to save Jane and Vida, they drive past the van, which they cover with a brush. According to Vida, it is pretty intelligent.“Don't you remember wrong, Vid?” Jane asked. He kept the ax in his hand, always on guard under any circumstances."Jane, I'm not you."Jane rolled his eyes lazily. They were college friends and when the zombies attacked, they were at the foot of the hill to collect specimens. Jane often made mistakes compared to Vida."Then where are they? What are they doing again?” Ilda was trembling, she stood up very agitatedly. She had refused to come out of this cave for days even though Oliver said it was safe around here. She was so traumatized by what she saw then.Her neighbors, who often talk to her die from being bitten by zombies or turning into zombies."C
Axel hangs his baseball bat tight, aiming for Leah's head, he has to kill the woman that makes his blood boil.Leah's eyes bulged, she couldn't dodge anymore. Her body felt weak because of that. However, just as the baseball bat got very close, something rushed in front of it. The baseball bat that was headed for her was cut off.Clanks!The baseball bat fell and the expressions of the three schoolchildren were identical, eyes bulging as bodies stiffened."I guess you shouldn't fight and want to kill your friends, right?" asked Oliver standing beside Leah, who had fallen to the floor.Nolan and Axel alerted, and they pulled out their guns. Axel took out the knife hidden behind his body and pointed it at Oliver."My advice, keep my weapon. I'm not here with bad intentions."Oliver saw Dereck busy barricading the way back in. He had explained to Dereck what they had to do, new zombies were arriving again, and this big man for a high school boy was tense and angry.“You get out of here w
