Chapter 12 Temporal Deceleration
I saw Caroline slowly moving towards the balcony before opening the glass door and after a few seconds,
"Hey!!! Come here! I am here! Cough cough… Hey!!.."
She started shouting more and more loudly, and now I was waiting for her to stop after she had gathered enough zombies.
2 minutes, 3 minutes and then after 5 minutes passed,
"How much longer do you need me to hold here?" She shouted again and I shout back as,
"How many zombies are there?!!"
A few moments later…
"14 that I can see, probably 2 or 3 more behind them."
My eyes turned a bit wide open as I was really impressed by that. I was expecting about 5 or 6 zombies to be attracted to her, but more than that? Now that was really good news.
"Close the balcony from outside," I shouted again and then I saw her coming and closing the glass door as she looked at me with a really complicated look.
I saw her speaking 'I am putting my trust in you,' before she went back to attracting the zombies.
-Bang!
-Bang!
-Bang!
The zombies were still at the door and I immediately ran away, creating a distance between the door and me.
On one hand, there was the baseball bat, on the other… Where is the kitchen knife?
'Caroline you b*tch!' I cursed her a little as I saw the missing knife I placed at the edge of the bed.
I guess she took it when I was busy with the system.
-BANG!!
-RWAR!!!
The door broke open and one zombie leapt towards me, followed by another two and the rest of the horde behind them.

I immediately shifted to one side so that one of the zombies behind may get interrupted by the dead one and the other move closer…

3 killed, 8 more should be coming on my side.
3 zombies almost reached, with one of them only an inch away.
[Ability activated: Temporal Deceleration]
I saw the world slowing down. Everything was moving at a snail's pace and not wasting time, I stepped back as I repositioned myself and

The time resumed to its normal flow as soon as I hit the third zombie. I saw 3 more zombies coming towards me with only one at the gate.
Taking my chances, I ran outside the room as I dodged the zombies. The zombies obviously followed me to the living room, but I was much faster than them.
Good news was that most of the zombies were on the balcony and maybe because I increased my Dexterity, I was much faster than them.
Bad news was that the baseball bat didn't seem like it could hold for another hit or two.

'Still too far,' I thought as I looked at the ridiculous amount of Exp required to get to level 6
'How many zombies are remaining again?'
[Side Quest: Kill all the Zombies: 15 remaining
Rewards: Title! Zombie Killer!]
'Hmmm… I killed 6 so there should be 19, where are the other 4?' I thought before peeking at the balcony from the living room.
[Side Quest: Kill all the Zombies: 13 remaining]
[Side Quest: Kill all the Zombies: 8 remaining]
[Side Quest: Kill all the Zombies: 3 remaining]
'What the?!!' my eyes stared at the System messages. The heck just happened? I turned at the three zombies slowly approaching me and…
-BOOM!

[New Title Acquired: Zombie Hunter]
Ignoring all the messages, I immediately ran towards the balcony and what I saw answered all my questions.
My eyes noticed Caroline standing on the other side looking as dumbfounded as I was.
The railing of the balcony had broken… causing all the zombies… to fall down.
"Get here from the inside," I spoke with slight urgency and she nodded before moving inside
[Side Quest: Save the survivor in the guest room. Complete]
[New skill acquired: Inspect]
I looked at the message a bit dumbfounded before moving inside too. As I reached the living room, I saw Caroline coming out of the master bedroom and then suddenly staring at me.
Then she dashed towards me and hugged me tightly. I just stood there as both my adrenaline and boner was rising.
I just slowly kept my hand on her head as I gulped before speaking,
"We should… find a safe place to relax first."
Heck, we should! All the rooms (except the bathrooms) have had their doors broken down by the zombies!
I just stayed here until now because I knew the environment and how to use it to my advantage. Now, staying here doesn't have much meaning left.
"..." I turned to Caroline looking at me and nodding before once again burying her head into my chest again.
"Ummm… Caroline, if you keep hugging me like that…" I wanted to speak that I won't be able to control myself anymore, but she hurriedly separated herself from me and spoke,
"Yeah. Sorry… we should find a safer place."
I saw her, turning a bit red before she looked at me and asked,"where… where should we go… next?"
"Uhh… what?" I asked again as I stopped looking at her breasts and concentrated on her face.
