When Nathan opened his eyes, the sun was already up .
Panicked, he immediately checked his watch . It was 7:30 am .
Next, he checked his surroundings . Ashleigh was on the floor sleeping like a baby .
He got up and started preparing breakfast .
It was a very simple breakfast – a couple of eggs, bread and a cup of coffee .
After eating breakfast, he peeked outside of the window .
What he saw was a few zombies walking around, a few burning buildings and flipped cars .
'What the hell happened last night? It's only been a few hours and there's so much damage already . '
He went to look for his phone . It was inside his room so he went back to get it . His plan was to call his cousin .
Checking his phone, it was dead .
'Fuck!'
He looked at Ashleigh . He wanted to borrow her phone .

He bent down and tapped her shoulder .
"Hey, wake up . "
A few seconds later, she finally opened her eyes .
Seeing someone she was unfamiliar with, she was surprised and let out a scream .
Nathan got a little annoyed .
'I really have to get rid of this woman as soon as possible,' he thought .
"Kept quiet or we'll both be dead!" he said in a harsh tone .
After realizing who the man was in front of her, she finally remembered what happened last night .
"I'm sorry," she meekly said .
"Where's your phone?"
"My phone?"
She quickly started to look for her phone . After she found it, she passed it to him .
It still had 33% battery life .
'Thank god . '
"Where's Amir's phone number here? I need to call him . "
He passed the phone back to her .
She received the phone and immediately went to look for Amir's number . After finding it, she passed the phone to him once again .
"Here . "
He pressed the call button .
Ring… Ring… Ring…
He ended the call and tried to call once again .
Ring… Ring… Ring…
Still, there was no answer .
'Amir . . . '
He had no choice left but to send Amir a text message in the end .
'I guess I only have two choices: Wait for Amir or go to the hospital where he works at . But before I do that, I must level up first for some assurance . '
"You," he said .
Ashleigh looked at him .
"We'll wait here for Amir . However, in the meantime, I have to go outside to find some supplies . I'll be back right away . "
In a zombie apocalypse, what's the most important thing? Food!
"Can't we just wait here together?"
"No . Listen up . What if Amir doesn't come? How long do you think our supplies will last?"
"Can't I come with you outside?"
"No, one of us should be left here to wait for Amir . Plus, it's dangerous outside . Will you be able to defend yourself?"
"I…"
"Don't worry . I'll be right back," Nathan gave her a reassuring smile .
He stood up, picked up the sword and went to the door .
"I prepared some food on the table . If you find it lacking, cook more . "
"You're going already?"
"Yes . Remember, lock the doors and windows, and don't let anyone in unless it's me or Amir . Also, don't go outside . If something happens to you because you didn't follow my instructions, you only have yourself to blame . "
He started to prepare his magazine armor .
"When will you be back?"
"A couple of hours . "
After preparing the things he needed, he opened the front door wearing a slim-fit black shirt, grey colored jeans, black shoes, a backpack and the Training Sword on his right hand .
Before leaving he turned back and said, "Remember what I told you . "
"Okay," she replied and closed the door .
To be honest, he didn't really care whether this woman listens to him or not . If she dies because she didn't follow his advice, it won't be his fault and that would mean he wasn't responsible for her death . Moreover, with her death, he would be free from the burden of taking care of her .
'I just hope that Amir will return soon so that I won't have to deal with this woman anymore . If I keep this up I'll no different from the tsundere white knight Hajime . '
He immediately activated [Coward's Way] and started walking .
