NOVEL NEXT Chapter 5: Side mission
El was still silent when he received this treatment. Soon, all the students entered the bus and the man with the shaved head lowered the katana from El's neck.
Then, the man turned around, walking into the bus door with a proud expression on his face. But, as he walked, El said. "From the tone of your voice, it looks like you got bitten too."
Then El paused for a moment and looked at the man who was getting annoyed with a mocking expression. "Are you protecting a woman? But, she chose to be with someone else? What a pity for unrequited love." El mocked with a smile on his face.
Hearing this, the bald man was suddenly furious and turned around quickly to slash at El. "Shut up!"
Slash!
However, thanks to Six Tomoe Rhineggan who still retained the ability of insightful eyes, El was able to see and read the direction of the swift attack.
With ease, El took one step back and successfully avoided the sudden attack of the bald man. After that, El counterattacked by kicking the man faster than the katana slash attack he took from El.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
El kicked his ankles, waist and jumped up, landing a kick on his neck that broke. "Argh!" The bald man fell unconscious.
Although El's AGI attribute value was only 6 points, it already exceeded that of a 20-year-old adult. That is, El's kick was equivalent to a red belt judo expert athlete.
It's true, El's STR attribute value is only 4 points, but when combined with speed, the momentum of the attack will become greater. Like a bullet being shot for example, the faster the bullet travels through the sleeve, the greater the kinetic force generated.
***
The road appears to have many wheeled vehicles crashing into each other. But, because this road is wide enough, buses can still pass through.
In addition to vehicles crashing into each other, there were also many Infected walking around in the middle of the road. Some of them were even enjoying eating humans.
The bus was traveling at a moderate speed driven by one of the students. Incidentally, the student knew how to drive a heavy vehicle, like a bus for example.
The man had black hair with black irises. His name was Lin Feng who was currently focused on driving the bus. He was very careful and concentrated fully so as not to go off the road.
Bruk!
Crak!
But, it didn't matter if it hit an infected that happened to be blocking the road. El was satisfied with Lin Feng's attitude that adapted quite quickly, thinking that Infected were no longer human.
Suddenly, El's mind entered into regretful musings. The expression on his face was complicated with a big question mark in her mind.
El walked over to where the woman was sitting. He felt bad, for some reason his attitude suddenly became harsh, rude and cold. El also wanted to thank her for taking her to the bus parking lot and asked her name.
After arriving, El sat in the seat next to her that was still empty. El looked at the woman's face seriously. This succeeded in making the woman seem confused about the purpose of El's arrival at her place.
The woman turned to El and asked. "Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?" the woman asked hesitantly.
El closed his eyelids and said in a cold tone of voice. "I'm sorry, I seem to have spoken harshly to you. I also want to thank you for helping me. And if I may know, what is your name?"
The woman was taken aback by what El said. Suddenly, a smile appeared on her beautiful face. "No problem, I should be the one thanking you."
The woman's right hand was extended towards where El was. "My name is Qian Qin, usually the people closest to me call me Qian. Greetings." she said in a soft tone.
El took his right hand, grasping it gently. "El Ira Adrian. Call me whatever you want, I don't really care."
After getting acquainted with the woman named Qian Qin, El retracted his right hand and left the seat next to her, like the wind passing by in summer. Qian Qin became more interested in El's attitude. "What is El's true identity?" she murmured slowly.
Meanwhile, El walked toward the front of the bus. Precisely to the seat next to the driver of this bus that was traveling at a moderate speed.
"According to the map I saw before this bus got underway. In order to get out of the city safely, this bus must pass through several alternative roads that are far from the density of vehicles, considering that the toll road must be chaotic. It will take about 2 days for that." El muttered.
While walking, El noticed that there were only a few passengers. 'There are so few passengers on the bus, I also intentionally left Tian Cheng for a different direction.'
'But, how can I increase the number of survivors?' El thought.
Not long after, a thought occurred to him. 'Should I just make a group? To increase the number of survivors? But will it affect the main mission?
Ding!

Receiving a holographic notification floating in front of him, El paused and read it carefully.
The corners of his mouth tugged slightly. "A mission with 10 attribute points? This is very interesting!" El muttered softly.
Suddenly, the bus stopped. El immediately accelerated his footsteps towards the bus driver's seat. After arriving, El tapped Lin Feng on the shoulder. "What's wrong? Why did you stop? Have we arrived near the convenience store?"
"Y-yeah, we've reached the place you wanted to go. Why are we here?" asked Lin Feng with a trembling voice for fear of being killed by El with a katana.
Lin Feng remembered that his two shaved-headed friends had been killed by El by cutting their throats. That's why the passengers on this bus were very quiet like nobody was there.
They were all afraid of El who turned out to be very cruel. Except, the woman named Qian Qin thought El was quite attractive.
"Listen, all of you listen to me." El said in an emphasized tone of voice. "You guys go downstairs, enter the convenience store and bring all the food and drink supplies in there. As for the infected attacking, leave that to me."
Hearing El's direction, they looked at each other with astonished expressions. Before long, they nodded their heads and went down one by one, followed by El who went down first.
"Grr!"
The reason El went down first was to clean up the infected around. With quick movements, one by one they approached El.
El looked at them seriously. "Why are they moving a little faster than before?"
But, even though their footwork was faster than before, El could still easily finish them off by slashing their necks and heads.
This time, El's movement when swinging the katana was better than before. Because El remembered what movement made her arm feel painful.
Crot!
Slash!
Slash!
El's battle with the 10 infected managed to make the passengers stunned by his fighting sword skills. In their hearts, they began to understand the reason why El was cruel, cold and rude.
'He is very strong, so it doesn't matter if that person is cruel and cold' at least that's what they had in mind.
Ding!
[Killed 10 half-grown level 1 infected, +1000 points]
Again, El's battle with 10 infected only took a short time. El let out a breath and turned his head towards the bus. In the bus, the passengers were looking on with admiring expressions.
Suddenly, El's expression became very annoyed. "What's wrong, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get all the supplies in this convenience store! Don't waste time!"
Hearing El's order, all the passengers flocked into the convenience store and grabbed the supplies. Meanwhile, El waited outside and looked around.
***
The crimson red sunlight highlighted the world, signaling the time of night. The food supplies had been loaded onto the bus as best they could.
The teachers and students gathered near the bus because of El's orders. Actually, they were very annoyed with El who was always giving orders. But, they were afraid to fight back.
"Listen to my words, I'm too lazy to repeat myself. I will form a group with you as the main members before leaving the city. The name of this group is Akatsuki." El said in a cold tone of voice.
"So prepare yourselves, because I will train you on the way. I don't want to hear the word 'no.' Ah, one more thing. Tonight we will rest at the convenience store warehouse." Then El left to enter the convenience store.
Lin Feng sighed. "Damn, that crazy guy is so scary! I'm afraid I'll suddenly have my neck separated!"
One of the students next to him broke out in a cold sweat and patted him on the shoulder. "Hey, don't speak so loudly. You'll really separate your neck if he hears."
Instantly, Lin Feng gulped his saliva. "Ugh, you're right Feng Long, I thank you!"
