Reading through all three messages, Dilan nodded his head in satisfaction.
Less than an hour had passed since they had left the cafeteria, and they had just cleared the third floor.
There had been quite a few zombies locked in patient wards. After killing them, Dilan procured their crystals before encountering another Mutated Swiftness Zombie.
Because Dilan required one more Bronze Essence to upgrade his passive skill to Tier-0 he killed it without bothering about the opinion of the others.
They didn’t say anything either because they had learned that Dilan took decisions after analyzing the situation thoroughly. And, so they simply observed his expressions.-.
It was quite difficult, but with detailed observation, one could see his facial expression that told them when he required something.
That was also why one could avoid unnecessary trouble as long as one paid close attention to Dilan.
Once the third floor was cleared, their group took a second glance at the fourth floor.
Dilan wanted to make sure that there was no powerful zombie. It was possible for them to have accidentally overlooked the presence of the zombies two days ago.
If they missed a bunch of strong zombies, it would be quite troublesome.
Thus, being meticulous was the most important.
However, after they finished inspecting the fourth floor not long after, Dilan smiled lightly before he suggested,
“Let’s just kill all the zombies in our way. It is not necessary to hold back too much for now. The four of you have to level up quite a bit, after all!”
Dilan finished these words by the time they reached the fifth floor.
He was not even sure how many floors the hospital had, but if he recollected correctly, the Rian mountainside hospital was known for being the biggest hospital in the entire city.
So there had to be a few more floors, with each of them having hundreds of zombies!
And there were a total of four towers. As such, Dilan didn’t think of pressuring the others on sparing the low-leveled zombies they were to encounter right now.
Understanding Dilan clearly, everyone wielded the Kobold weapons, while Ailee held her cold-metal bow at the ready.
They reached the fifth floor fully tense and encountered a batch of 100 unleveled zombies right off the bat.
Thankfully, not a single Bronze zombie was amongst them and neither did he find a mutated ordinary zombie.
Thus, Dilan didn’t even think of intervening in their fight as he stood back and observed the others.
Oliver wielded two Kobold shortswords. They had the perfect length for Oliver to be considered a rather lengthy dagger.
Through the additional stats they provided, he was confident enough to charge at the group of Zombies.
Oliver was ready to hone his skills in the face of possibly being scratched by one of the zombies.
Meanwhile, Sarah wielded a Kobold spear, while Pierre brandished a Kobold’s longsword around.
Everyone seemed ready to give their best as their eyes gleamed in determination. Pierre and Sarah chose to follow Oliver and join him in the fray.
Just a moment later Ailee began to shoot out one arrow after another.
A faint bluish gleam shrouded her eyes due to the [Higher Vision] ability.
She focused her attention on the zombies that approached them with oddly fast movements.
But at the same time, her attention never left to ensure that there were no surprise attacks. Ailee felt responsible to save everyone from being scratched or bitten.
Because her mind told her to take care of the others, she didn’t fire many arrows. And most of the arrows she fired were aimed at zombies who got too close to her group.
These zombies had approached Oliver and the others from a dead angle, which meant that they wouldn’t have noticed the zombie before it had appeared right next to them.
While observing the entire fight, Dilan was quite calm.
If the four Ascenders were unable to defeat the low-level zombies, it was futile to continue hunting with them.
After all, they would only hold him back in fights against powerful Bronze monsters.
He could also try to strengthen them with his unbending efforts, but for that, they had to showcase a bare minimum amount of talent and teamwork.
Furthermore, both Ailee and Oliver had the basic mastery abilities of a specific weapon.
The meaning behind this was quite simple as they received the experience and memories of semi-professional archers and assassins simply by binding the passive ability to themselves.
That meant they ought to have better teamwork, or something was wrong!
Oliver moved rapidly, and his hands never stopped moving as each of his slashes was enough to kill a zombie.
The Kobold’s weapons were strong enough to cut through the unleveled zombies as if they were made of butter.
But seeing how overconfident Oliver was suddenly acting, Dilan couldn’t help but frown.
He left his position in the triangle that Sarah and Pierre had formed as he rushed ahead.
Every single zombie around him might succumb in the face of his daggers, but that was not enough to calm down Dilan.
From his carefree demeanor, Dilan changed his stance as he held the Captain’s sword tightly.
Yet, he kept looking at Pierre and Sarah’s fight instead of taking a step ahead.
Sarah’s [Multitasking(Passive)] ability was working seamlessly, allowing her to coordinate nearly perfectly with Pierre.
Their teamwork was quite good as they understood that it was important to help one another to quickly finish off the zombies.
And, considering that some low-leveled zombies within the Rian mountainside hospital reached the exact same level as Sarah and Pierre, it was even more prominent.
Dilan liked this much more than the overconfident Oliver. In a way, Oliver acted just like him.
This was something Dilan could tell from the way Oliver tried to fight all by himself.
But the biggest difference between Oliver and Dilan was simply the fact that one of them had an [Immunity] ability and the other one didn’t.
As such, Dilan could allow himself to act rushed, and fight the zombies while being surrounded by them.
However, for Oliver, this was far more dangerous! The tiniest scratch of a zombie could end Oliver’s life, and that was not even something one could joke about.
Ailee understood this as well, which was why she couldn’t help but look at Dilan for a moment before she asked,
“Can…you help him? Please…”
She knew that Oliver was not really in danger right now. Nevertheless, she was worried about the possibility of him being overwhelmed and making a stupid mistake.
Even if Oliver was doing his best, he could get scratched quite easily.
And right now, there were more than ten zombies around Oliver. The skinny young man was fighting by utilizing his entire strength.
The passive basic dagger mastery ability clearly showed its greatness as Oliver killed all the zombies around him.
However, after some time passed, he didn’t even notice that he missed one zombie, who had been pushed to the ground by another one.
It began to crawl towards Oliver while being stepped on by the other zombies.
Advancing slowly, it nearly reached Oliver and was about to scratch him, just for a thunderous noise to reverberate through the surrounding.
A moment later a purple flash shot through the room.
Rotten blood, organs, skulls, and brain mass splattered through the surroundings as seven zombies had been beheaded at once.
And the zombie that had been trampled upon was being squashed by a foot that was shrouded in currents of electricity!
All of a sudden, Oliver’s immediate surroundings were freed of every zombie as the young and skinny man looked at Dilan in confusion.
“Why did you intervene?” He was visibly confused because he was pretty sure that Dilan wanted them to improve.
However, seeing Dilan’s eyes darting to his right foot, Oliver’s gaze moved straight to the squashed zombie that was struggling to free itself of Dilan’s foot.
“Well, I couldn’t let you die, right? I don’t really like to kill my own comrades, even if they turn into zombies!”
