Ryan stabbed at the angry snarling drooling group of zombies, he stood on the other side of the fence which separated them from him, taking that into consideration he did not waste any time, he quickly stabbed into those zombies head killing them effectively as fast as possible.

[Host killed a Tier 0 Life-form, gained absorbed 10 blood points and gained 1 soul]

Ryan had managed to kill at least 10 zombies including that thrice damned woman, oh how he hated that woman zombie she suddenly screamed so loudly that it made him want to tear his ear drums off but then it also managed to attract a small horde towards him but after killing them he had gained about a 110 Blood Points as well as 11 soul points, he was happy with the amount he had he could easily become tier 1 anytime he wanted to but he decided to find a place where he could hide for a little bit before trying anything as a precaution.

As he took a step he froze as a chill ran down his spine before he suddenly jumped to the side as the ground where he was standing turned into a crater, a humongous beast with glared at him baring fangs it snarled at him hungrily with as drool fell from its mouth.

Ryan gave a nervous smile as he spoke, "Good Doggy.", only for the dog look alike creature bigger than a SUV snarled at him staring at him like he was some juicy steak.

Ryan slowly stepped back as he spoke, "I am not tasty doggy, shoo shoo move over there are some tasty juicy meat and bones."

Only for the creature to howl loudly as a screaming Ryan did not have to be told as he bolted on his legs, as the creature chased after it, he dodged and weaved through the flurry of attacks, he dodged the attack as a car lying on the road was torn by it, the snarling beast tried to catch him as it jumped into a narrow alley getting stuck.

Ryan felt as if his heart would leap out of his throat he snarled at the beast as he spoke, "Add 2 blood points to Strength, 20 to Vitality and rest add it to Life-Form Tier."

[Strength can be upgraded to Tier 1]

[Vitality can be upgraded to Tier 1]

[Life-Form Tier can be upgraded from Tier 0 to Tier 1]

Ryan growled as he spoke, "You damn monster I kill you for trying to eat me.", the beast howled at him as its lower jaw parted into two, Ryna jumped up on top of the beast before positioning himslef top of its head as he used the hammer raining blows after blows as he caved the cranium of the beast, which died after letting lose an agonizing howl.

Ryan, 'So currently I have, 58 blood points and 12 souls. But to think I had to face a Tier 1 beast, hmmm I think I should increase my Tier as soon as possible but I do not know what will happen when I increase it if they attract creatures I am doomed.'

His attention was drawn by a crystal like thing present inside the brain, he picked up but his attention was drawn by a snarling as he saw a large group of zombies at the end of the alley, 'Damn it.'

"Up here", a shout came as a rope dropped from the top of a building Ryan quickly caught it as he was hauled up fast as the zombies appeared underneath them.

A hand came as it pulled him up as Ryan spoke, "Thank. Eh Angela is that you?"

The person who stood in front of him was someone he knew very well one of the soldiers under his mom's command Angela, but she looked a bit different because last time he checked, "Angela what happened to you?"

The smile on her face changed to a scowl as she snapped at him, "tch, I mutated happy now."

Ryan studied her intently for a few seconds the Angela he knew had fair skin and blonde hair with blue eyes but the person in front of him had pointed ear, purple skin and blue hair that ended with green tips and blue glowing eyes as such he spoke unconsciously, "Beautiful."

Angela turned towards him as she exclaimed with disbelief, "What!!!!"

Ryan coughed in his hands as he spoke, "I meant exotic, yes you look exotic."

"Oh my seems like someone is having hots for an elf wannabe.", came a voice to his ears which almost seemed like a purr to him.

Ryan huffed as he spoke, "Sister Kara stop teasing me, but you have to agree she looks nice isn't she?"

Angela huffed at that as she turned her head as she spoke heatedly, "Well you can flatter me as much as you like but you will never understand what it feels like."

Ryan winced at that as he spoke, "Sorry, but I still think you look exceptionally gorgeous."

But before anyone could say anything Kara shouted out, "Hey look is that not the emergency flare, it means we have to leave move now, move fast."

The trio moved as fast as they could a sound of explosion was heard not far from them as Ryan cursed, "Too much noise they will attract wrong kind of crowd, if only we could move faster.", only for his eyes to widen at what he saw as a grin etched his face, "Hey girls over there we can use those."

Angela grunted as she spoke, "There is no time to be fooling around Ryan, wha"

Only for her eyes widen as a grin formed in her face, a 'Cycle Store', truly it was a blessing in disguise since they were in the suburbs of the city where unlike the city itself a normal shop like this could be found.

The shop looked completely empty from outside and normally they would check it thoroughly but today there was neither time nor do they have the chance to be cautious as such hey quickly broke into the shop by breaking the shop window, where they quickly grabbed the nearest cycles they could get there hand on to.

Kara sighed as she spoke, "I never thought I would be stealing cycles like this."

Ryan spoke in a confused tone as he spoke, "What are you saying we are simply commandeering the vehicle because of an emergency."

The trio quickly paddled the bike at the same time both Kara and Angela held the handle of another two for the second group, they were moving at slow pace and they did not have to wait much longer as two women appeared soon after with a large horde hot on their heels, they were running for their lives.

Angela: "Ryan, start pedaling hard, we will catch up with them move forward drop the useless items it will make you go faster."

Ryan nodded as he started pedaling fast, and soon after a couple of bangs later the remaining girls caught up to Ryan and his group who immediately lend the two newcomers cycles which they quickly rode, and as they started to pedal harder as their lives depending upon it and soon they were out of sight of the last zombie horde.

A couple of hours of pedaling and panting madness later the tired group of 4 scouts and one high school graduate finally saw the familiar visage of 'Fort Rose', well what was left of 'Fort Rose' anyway, as there a large part of it lay broken upon seeing the home of the proud 'Black Wolves' lying in such a condition Ryan winced as well as a fear rose in his heart, 'Such devastation are my big sisters and aunties all right?'.

As they entered the fort a panting Ryan was speaking with a tired Chloe the leader of the scout team that had ventured into the city, and one of those who risked their lives for him and had rescued him.

"Ryan", a beautiful soothing voice came to his ears drawing his attention to the speaker his eyes became a bit misty at the sight of the person as he spoke with a tired but yet a happy smile, "Hi Mom! Sorry for being late."
