CHAPTER 256: CHAPTER 255: TRAVELING WITH DAN AND THE OTHERS 4

It’s uncomfortable but unfortunately they can only make do with it.

It’s really uncomfortable, especially for his legs so as soon as he woke up he immediately went out of the car and started stretching.

Because he was feeling uncomfortable he didn’t even linger a bit and just went outside even though he still wanted to sleep more.

When he got out of the car, the kids were already awake and were already doing their morning exercise.

Dan and the others were also already awake and were still practicing absorbing energies from the surroundings.

After the kids finished their morning exercise, they prepared cereal and bread for their breakfast.

They had to travel earlier, so as soon as they finished eating their meals, they had to begin traveling.

Dan also came and said that they would be stopping when it’s already 1 p.m. just like what they had done yesterday.

They had indeed started traveling and also rested almost at the same time yesterday, but the distance they had covered yesterday was longer than the distance they had just traveled.

It was because the fighting style of Dan and the others also changed.

When there are zombies around them, as long as they can see that the number of the zombies isn’t too large, they will stop and deal with the zombies to get zombie crystals.

Well, as long as they are advancing north properly, then Luciel doesn’t care much that they were delayed a bit.

On the second day that they were traveling, Astrid finally taught them how to absorb the zombie crystals because Dan and the others had already gotten familiar with absorbing the energies around them.

After Dan and the others tried absorbing the zombie crystals, they were delighted to find out that they got more energy compared to when they were absorbing energies from their surroundings.

They finally understood the benefits of collecting zombie crystals.

After understanding it, they began regretting that they had just left the zombies they had killed in the past without getting any zombie crystals.

"We had been killing a lot of zombies since the beginning, but we hadn’t even thought of digging for their zombie crystals. What a waste," Billy said regretfully.

"Yeah. We always kill a lot of zombies every time we go out to look for supplies, but after killing them, we would just leave.

If we had collected all the zombie crystals of the zombies we had killed, then we should already have a lot of zombie crystals to use," Eric said.

"Unfortunately we only know it now, so there’s no use in thinking about it any longer," Raffy said.

"Yes, we should just focus on getting more zombie crystals from now on to strengthen our abilities faster," Dan said.

After they talked among themselves, they finally talked to Luciel.

"Once again, thank you very much for sharing the methods on how to further increase our abilities," Dan said while looking at them.

"Yeah, by the way, do you guys already know each other from before the apocalypse? You guys seem to be very close to each other?" Luciel asked to divert the conversation because he had already heard them saying thanks a lot of times.

"Yes, all of us already knew each other before the apocalypse.

We had been friends for a long time and even set up a small company that we have been managing for 4 years already."

"Oh, then it’s really fortunate that you guys are still all together even with the sudden coming of the zombies," Luciel commented.

"Indeed, we are quite lucky. Dan invited us to Sid’s birthday, so we are staying in their house when the apocalypse comes," Eric said.

"If we hadn’t stayed together, we might not have survived until now," Raffy added.

"I see. So, that’s also why you are with your cousins at the beginning," Luciel said while looking at Dan and then at Sid, who is together with Astrid and the others trying to follow their training.

"Yes, but unfortunately those cousins of mine all ran away even after we took care of them for many months; they even dared to get almost all our supplies and only left a little for Sid. Once I see them again, I’ll surely teach them a lesson," Dan said with obvious anger in his tone.

"Yes, I’ll certainly join in teaching them a lesson. How dare they take away the supplies that we have collected for a long time?" Eric added.

"You guys shouldn’t have taken such good care of them. You should’ve let them go through the hardships with you—then maybe they would have appreciated your efforts more and wouldn’t have dared to run off with your supplies," Luciel commented.

"We already advised Dan at the beginning, but he wouldn’t listen and wanted someone to accompany his younger brother at home, so he just let his cousins stay.

We know that he really doted on the younger brother that he raised himself, and Sid was also an obedient younger brother, so we didn’t say anything anymore.

Unfortunately their cousins are a really ungrateful bunch of people," Billy said.

"I see. But you shouldn’t really dote on your younger brother too much, or else he might die because of other people when you aren’t present to watch over him.

When he knocked on our door alone, I was thinking that he was really brave to just come alone and knock on a stranger’s door with his poor strength.

If we were bad guys he would have already died," Luciel said.

"I know, I’ve already learned my lesson.

I have been raising him since he was a kid since our parents had always been busy so I was already accustomed to taking care of him so I really don’t want him to suffer and see a lot of bad things even in these times.

But now I really have to teach him more so that he could at least fight like the kids in your team," Dan said while looking at Sid and the others.
