Soul Evolution System

Spending more than half an hour waiting, I had settled comfortably in my luxurious armchair which seemed to have some kind of magic trying to lull me. Just when I was about to fall asleep, I hear Saeko's voice.

"Oh, I came to tell you that the food is ready but maybe I am bothering you, Alex-san"

"Hmn? Saeko-chan? No, I'm going to eat now ..."

"Fufufu, Shisuka-san I'm a little envious for how comfortable Alex-san seems to be laying down over you ..."

"... I-I understand Busujima-san, but please don't see me with those eyes ... they scare me a little"

The heaviness caused by my sleepiness leaves me when my resting chair becomes a massage chair that trembles slightly, I open my eyes and see Saeko staring at us. Honestly I don't feel anything that cause me fear, it feels normal to me, but it seems that with some kind of perception that I don't possess, Shisuka think something else. Perhaps we all have someone with whom we are bad to deal with ... Kurisu is with Shisuka, and she is with Saeko.

I get up from Shisuka's legs, and then approach Saeko who takes her eyes off her. She smiles at me and then directs the path to where the dining room should be. Shisuka takes a sigh and she follow us along with the others.

We walked through the corridors for a few minutes until we reached a large dining room where the others were, when Kurisu sees me, she comes towards me right away.

"Why do you have the smell of Shisuka in you?"

"Eh? Emm ..."

Being less than a meter away from me, it is the first thing she tells me and it baffling me a bit, while I think of an answer, I discreetly tried to smell myself, but I don't perceive anything ... hell, does she have the nose of a dog? Then, before I can say anything, Shisuka speaks.

"That's because I was hugging him outside."

"... Shisuka-san, you shouldn't hug people so easily "

"Eeeh, but Alex-kun is so cute. Also, last night you didn't let me hug him while we slept Kurisu-san, you and Saeko were the ones who took his sides and held him as a pillow just for you two, that's not fair!"

"Eh? T-that was because ..."

Seizing the opportunity while the two were discussing I made a strategic escape from Kurisu and went to the table together with Saeko. So some things happened last night that I didn’t notice, uh?

At the table were already seated several people from my group and the Takagi couple, there was also the bodyguard ... I think his name was Yoshioka. Komuro and Hirano had also taken a seat next to Rei and Saya respectively, tch, these guys abandoned me in times of war, they are not my friends.

We took some empty places and we also sit down, on the table there were several dishes, it doesn’t look like we are in an apocalypse ... well, maybe they are the food that the Takagi had before this happened, they were a rich family and that was recent after all.

"You are a very popular boy among the girls, Alexander-kun, fufufu, maybe Saya has a hard time. You should strive Saya, mom encourages you!"

"Mom, stop saying that !!… besides, Alexander-san is younger than me for at least 5 years"

Yuriko-san tells me when we sit down, she looks at me, then immediately move her eyes for a few seconds to Saeko and quickly pass Kurisu and Shisuka who were still arguing. Finally she looks at her daughter and speak to her cheering her up, she knocks the palms of her hands on the table and stands up to answer her, after raising her voice Saya´s tone drops sharply so it is a bit difficult to distinguish the final words.

"Yuriko, don't bother Saya so much. Let's eat before the food gets cold."

Soichiro intervenes putting an end to the interaction of mother and daughter, with his words the rest take the cutlery or chopsticks and start eating. As an Asian region one of the main foods is rice, although it is a bit tasteless with fish being a little salty is a great complement.

We all eat with great appetite emptying plate after plate, with the minutes passing the food disappears until it is completely finished. Seeing the abundant food they serve for all of us, I can't help to asking.

"How are you distributing the food to the others Soichiro?"

"Everyone gets a fair amount to cook and eat to fill their stomachs ... is there a problem Alexander?"

Soichiro responds to me, when he sees that my brow furrows and makes a pause to ask me. The way they are distributing food, the consumption will be very high, they may not have much problem now because the number of people here is not so much and there is still enough out in the city, but with a number of thousands of mouths to feed in addition to the fact that getting provisions implies a high risk, it will become a problem to continue like this.

I do not want to overwhelm Soichiro by changing everything when we have just arrived, they agreed already moving the camp to another place, maybe we should speak about this in few days after we settled in our new home. For now we will concentrate on the transferring everyone, with that idea in mind I answer.

"Food will undoubtedly be a priority to get, but now we will focus on taking everyone to the amusement park, after installing we can talk things together to solve other problems"

"We will do that then, Me and Yuriko will continue talking to the others to inform them, and will begin to organize everything so that we can leave."

The Takagi couple and their bodyguards say goodbye to us and leave the dining room to do what they said, when only those of my group remained, I turned to Misuzu and Niki who had also come to eat here.

Both of them, although they tried to maintain their composure, I could see in their auras that they were depressed and sad, and they could not hide the red eyes for crying.

"It´s a shame what happened to your relatives"

"... thanks Alexander-san, I appreciate your words, but everyone has lost family or not been able to find them. What is happening to us is the same for others, so you don't have to treat us in a special way."

"Misuzu is right, we have undoubtedly lost a lot, but we also gain new partners to trust"

Misuzu tries to keep calm while talking, facing the loss with the fact that most were in the same situation as her. Niki being more sentimental, sheds tears while seeing all the people here and take the choice of leaning on them.

"You are strong girls, you will see that we will create a place where their relatives are safe in this world, we will also continue to look for survivors and maybe find the people that you are looking for"

Everyone's spirits get up a little and they nod, smiling at what I say, without more to do here, we get up and walk down a corridor with large windows in it. While I thinking about what to do now, the broken voice full of surprise and fear of Hirano is heard.

"I-im-Impossible ..."

Everyone turns to look at him only to find a pale face, without understanding the reason for his reaction, we follow his gaze, outside the window everything looks normal, I did not see zombies that had invaded the place, so when I tried to ask what was happening, I saw something that get my attention in the sky.

It were several cylinders that flew in the air driven by the propulsion of a strong flame, the others also discover it and become as pale as Hirano. It was understandable, since it was usually only seen in movies and it was shocking to see it in person.

It was a weapon that became known in this country to the world, perhaps fate was being a bit sarcastic to use it again here. Its devastation caused even those who threw it to repented greatly, since they not expecting it to have such fearsome consequences.

Since then, that weapon became synonymous with “persuasion” for the nations and fear for the general population, who feared the beginning of a war in which they were used.

Yes, it was an atomic bomb, the weapon that went down in history as the worst weapon ever created and used in a war.

You might think that I was rushing to think it was an atomic weapon, but when I saw it, the memories of the anime came to me, and at the end of it detonated that kind of missile.

Confirming my words, one of these missiles begins to descend and is lost from our sight, then seconds later a great flash emerges. For the intensity we must all cover our eyes, then seconds later a loud sound like thunder is heard and a huge column of mushroom-like smoke is created.

Shit, shit, shit, I had completely forgotten that part of the anime. With the sound and radiance the attention of everyone outside is also absorbed by the event, then fear and uncertainty arises in all people.

"Quick! Somebody go find Soichiro and ask him to order to check the cars. If they don't work, have people repair them immediately.!"

With my words I begin to walk outside the house, I thought that we would have more time for the zombies to invade the mansion, but it seems that I was wrong. I have to pick up Schythe and the Venus Luciferian from outside before that happens.

"Quick!!"

When I start walking I noticed that I was alone, then I turn around and everyone is still shocked by what they witnessed, I shout  out loud to get them out of that trance. They shudder and put their eyes on me and Saya then speaks.

"I understand, I will go to inform my parents"

"The others should also accompany her and ask if there is anything that you can do to accelerate the transfer of everyone in the house"

"Where are you going Alex?"

"I have a bad feeling, I will go for Scythe and the plant"

More than a bad feeling, I am sure the situation will get bad soon. I need to go for my monsters before everything gets out of control.

"I'll go with you Alex"

"I also accompany you, I am worried that something happened to Scythe-chan"

Kurisu and Saeko walk to where I am with fast steps, the first seems nervous about what happened and surely being me the person that she trust the most here, she should feel calmer by my side. As for the latter, as she expressed, wants to come to make sure Scythe is fine. The two are placed at my sides and then the three of us go to the entrance of the mansion.

[Beep]

[Increasing levels of radiation in the atmosphere, analyzing danger to the user ... radiation levels still at safe levels]

When we leave the house I hear the notification of the system, for a moment I was worried, but it seems that it is acceptable to continue without taking any action against radiation.

The people outside who witnessed the detonation of the nuclear missile were worried, understandably, adding to the zombies that swarm around the city now they also literally have a bomb that can fall on their heads at any time. Even I am afraid that some insane military considers this city as lost and decides to annihilate everything in it, I can be stronger than most here, but I have nothing to do against nuclear detonation.

I arrive at the fence and ask to be opened to leave for a moment, the man doubts a little, but in the end he open it to us. I go directly to where I left the plant together with Scythe before, being a nearby place it doesn't take long. When we arrived there were good and bad things that we found where my monsters should be ...

The bad thing was that Scythe was not there, she should have gone in search for a zombie, I don't think she has any problem, because from our connection I can feel that she is fine. We will only have to wait until she returns dragging her prey with which was feeding the Luciferian Venus.

The good thing is that it seems that my plant had a change in the short time that we separated, now instead of two mouths it had 3 and also had another part that instead of a mouth was more like a flower bud before let it open. The strange thing about this was that, perhaps a red pistil, entered and out from the bud almost equal to the tongue of a snake ... well, seeing the red color of this is probably really a tongue instead of a pistil.

Hell, it actually grows at an accelerated rate when it is fed ... at the time I left it was a level 7 and only in a short hour the plant level up to 16.

"Is this the same plant as when we left?"

"It looks like it ... but it has grown"

While I was analyzing the Venus, Saeko and Kurisu talk to each other when they see it, is certainly a bit incredible ... maybe zombies are a great fertilizer for plants? They are decaying organic material after all ...

There is no time to think about that, I put two fingers in my mouth and whistle taking all the air out of my lungs, I hope Scythe is not so far away and can hear me.

Waiting for Scythe we approached Venus through one of the mouths that does not have to digest food, I did not want get acid to fall over us by mistake ...

Seeing the Venus status, I notice that its loyalty has also increased. It went up to 257, although I am

not the one who give its fertilizer, because of the bond between us, it must understand that is because of my orders that Scythe fed it.

[Shaah]

When I stroking its leaves, It swings the stem happily while opens and closes its mouth, if it keeps growing more mouths even with the inexhaustible Scythe, she will not be able to keep up the rhythm to feed it ...

After about 10 minutes of waiting we heard sounds coming from the streets of the city, a few seconds later the figure of Scythe is distinguished in the distance in one of the streets, she is dragging a zombie again while running towards here.

"Is this not bad?"

Kurisu steps back a little when she sees in Scythe's direction, is not scared for her, but for what was following her. Then Saeko speaks and as her words suggest, the situation did not look very good, a large number of zombies are following the footsteps of my ghoul slowly.

Realizing about the zombies, someone on the side of the fence rings a bell, it must be some kind of alarm implemented by Soichiro to alert others in case a large number of zombies are seen.

"We must return to the house, Scythe release the fertilizer and run as faster as you can here !!"

When I shout, I take out the poke-ball of the Venus, I aim at it and a red laser hits the plant, then turns into light and enters into the ball. Scythe following my instruction releases the zombie and accelerates to where we are.

With the monster stored, the 3 of us run to the gate of the fence, the men watching outside see us and opened quickly, when we cross they want to close it again, but I stop them. We discussed a little, but by explaining that Scythe is still out, they understand and decide to wait ...

"Alex ... stop holding the gun on that man's crotch, they have already said they would wait ... I feel bad for him, it seems he will faint if you continue"

Well, maybe my colt that is pointed to the crotch of one of them influenced his decision, but that is something they only knows, I want to believe that they are good people who worried that something bad could happen to Scythe if she was surrounded by a large number of zombies.

Waiting for a short time Scythe crosses the fence too, then everyone proceeds to block the entrance, I look up and only see bodies and more bodies of corpses walking to this direction ... I don't know how long this fence can resist that zombie horde.

"Alexander-san, a large numbers of the cars have been damaged, only the oldest ones that do not have modern parts were not affected by the electromagnetic pulse of the bombs, although the radiation did not get here, we are still within the area of involvement ... hey, what the hell is going on? Why are there so many zombies? "

" Everyone prepare to resist them!"

Saya comes to where we are with Soichiro who should have heard the alarm, the first one tells me the thing I was most afraid of happening, as in the anime the bombs ruined everything electronic, including the parts of the cars that work with circuits”

"No! We will resist zombies as much as we can, but others should focus on making sure that we have enough cars to transport everyone. That fence will not support that large number of zombies pushing against it.

You must order them to start loading people and the most amount of things that can be accommodated in the cars, we will leave when everyone has board in one "

I intervene and stop Soichiro who was preparing to resist the zombie horde, I knew that was a lost cause to do so, it was better to direct our energies in the way of escaping from here.

After I tell him that, he turns to the zombies considering for a while, then nods and gives orders to start doing what I said.
