Groups and Lone Wolves - Chapter 26

Many groupings among contestants have already begun in the cold weather of the city.

Being in a group has advantages and disadvantages; in a group, as the powers are connected, people feel safer.

It is the fundamental nature of the human race.

When in danger, group up. But the thing is, humans are fickle and selfish by nature. In groups, there is a high possibility of lies or manipulation.

Especially in a dangerous environment where food and water are scarce and monsters abound who want a piece of them.

At the same time, a group needs more materials, food, and water compared to an individual.

There may be problems when it comes to sharing the found material. which would make the individuals in the group resent each other.

The integrity of any kind of group can only be set by the leader of the group.

Leaders need to have more power, authority, and leadership abilities to make the group stay intact and stop problems before they arise.

Some oddballs, like Alan, prefer to walk alone and remain a lone wolf.

But if power is not enough, being alone is a death wish.

A powerless, weak man or woman cannot dream of finding enough food or water.

protecting himself or herself from the dangers.

All these things require powerful individuals. If not enough, things would go sideways in short order.

Alan, who starts to look for food, first goes to supermarkets.

The streets of the cities are empty. He saw ten zombies after walking silently for thirty minutes.

Not many, he thought. He does not engage with zombies unless it is necessary.

"I will practice on these zombies. But first of all, I need to find food and water and then hunt the contestants' Pandora targets. These are the priorities, and I do not have much time."

"Only after these things are over will I have the time and chance to take on the enemies."

Alan kept walking silently and noticed a commotion on his right side.

There was a long street, and three people were fighting against five zombies.

Two of them were male, and one of them was female.

Alan slowly climbed onto one of the houses and then sat on the roof as he watched.

The targets of Pandora were not these people, as Pandora did not give any notification.

The trio had good teamwork.

One of the males flicks his finger, a slow fireball appears, and he shoots one of the zombies' heads. melts its head and brain, killing it with ease.

"I can only summon ten fireballs in one day. "Keep that in mind, guys."

The man with long black hair shouted after killing one of the zombies.

The woman spoke as if she were holding a long spear.

"How did these get here?"I thought this way was clear.

The third man simply shook his head and rushed one of the zombies, approaching slowly, preparing to lunge, and beginning to cut off its head with quick movements.

In just three seconds, the head of the zombie separated from its body, and the headless body dropped down to the ground.
