God of Time System: Harem in the Zombie Apocalypse

After walking a distance away from everyone at White's request, White and I reached near the main gate. White then looked at me and asked with a serious face,

"All those zombies that vanished in the last few minutes... were you the one who did it?"

"Yes," I answered without hiding anything from him. It wasn't as if anything was going to change if people knew that it was me who did it. Except, of course, a lot many unnecessary problems, like the military, might come looking for me.

White looked at me with a baffled face.

'Oi! You asked the question. Don't make that face,' I looked at him as I shook my head and he blinked a few more times before asking,

"Can I ask you one more thing?"

"Ummm.. go ahead," I spoke as I observed him and he nodded before asking,

"How strong are you?"

I cocked one of my brows as I looked at him and, a bit afraid, he immediately spoke,"Ah! If it's something like a secret-"

"No. Honestly, I don't mind telling you, but I was a bit surprised to hear that from you. You look more like someone who would rather not interfere in other people's business," I spoke, and he just looked at me.

Then I saw him sighing before speaking,"well... I am putting my trust in you... so I kind of wanted to know a bit about you. Speaking from experience, not knowing about the one who you are working for or with, is not really a good feeling."

'So many things were going on in his mind, huh?' I thought before answering him with a bit of chuckle,

"Want me to be honest?"

He looked at me and nodded with a bit of seriousness.

"I don't know," I spoke with all honesty.

With all those skills and the dungeon and the [Shop], [Title], [Class], etc, I don't know exactly how strong I am in reality. How would I fare against a B-Grade Zombie or an A-Grade? I had no idea. These queries can be only answered once I am face to face with those. Before that, I have no say in that.

White looked at me with his eyes piercing at me and I smiled before speaking,"I am strong, don't get me wrong. Strong enough to deal with about a 1000 Whites and a 1000 Carolines, but that's not the limit... I don't know what it is anyway... there is one but... You won't be able to see it. At least not now."

I spoke and his eyes, which were narrowed at me, now were wide open as he observed me from top to bottom. I just looked at him kindly before asking,"does that answer your questions?"

He just gulped and nodded before I pondered a little and spoke,

"A few more survivors are going to come. Take them in, show them the ropes around here. Make sure everyone works and no one leeches about."

Then I moved towards Myla, who was with Caroline, talking with a few of the survivors.

"Myla. Come here," I spoke and Myla turned to me, moved closer to me.

"We should be leaving in about 5 minutes, though, can I ask you to take a detour for me? Around Asteria University. I need to find my brother there. Or just leave me on the way somewhere in between," I told her and she just looked at me with her eyes shaken before she spoke with a sigh,

"I am not that inhumane to leave you just anywhere. We will drop you near your brother's uni. A detour isn't a problem, since we still have enough time."

I nodded and she asked,"anything else?"

I shook my head, and she excused herself back to the people and I turned to Caroline, who was looking at me and signaled her with my eyes to come here. Understanding, she moved closer and looked at me as if she were worried about something.

"You okay?" I asked with a concerned look and she hummed a little before she spoke,"feels like... I am getting left behind..." and then looked at me.

"How come?" I asked, even though I had an idea what she was trying to say.

"You always leave to do things on your own... even now..." before tears could come to her eyes,

"What are you talking about? You are coming with me this time."

I smiled at her and her expression changed with her eyes widening at me. A smile began to blossom as she asked,"really?"

I nodded with a chuckle as I patted her head and immediately she hugged me as she spoke,"I love you, Michael!!"

"Love you too, Carol," I answered her, though I felt glares coming at me from all directions as I looked at the surroundings. Some were glaring at me, while others were clicking their tongues.

I could see Myla peeking at me before she sighed and then started working faster.

After that, nothing much happened as Myla helped a few more people, and George and White took over her work.

Except...

"What do you mean, he will be coming with us? Sergeant Major, please reconsider this. He is nothing but baggage that will hinder us!"

I guess someone was against me.

'Which one could it be?' I thought as I looked and found out it was Clara, the girl who was with Myla.

"Are you questioning my decision?" Myla glared at Clara and she shrieked back. As for Shawn and Jeff, they just shook their heads before Jeff looked at me with keen eyes.

Unlike Clara, who was looking down on me, Jeff had a slightly intrigued expression on his face. 'Why does it seem like unnecessary trouble was coming towards me?' I smiled wryly at them before I saw Myla coming towards me.

"We all agree that you are coming with us. And we will leave in 2 minutes," she spoke with a bright smile as she looked at me. I peeked at the irritated smile of Clara towards me before I spoke,

"Doesn't seem like it, but okay, I will meet you near the jeep."

She nodded before they began preparing for the departure and I went to Caroline, who was talking with the ladies present there.

"All done?" I asked, and she turned before nodding at me. I used my [Inspect] skill on all the people present there before turning to Caroline.

"Let's go then. I can't wait to see how my brother is doing."

She smiled before we both moved towards the jeep where Myla and the others were already there waiting. White was also standing there talking with Myla a bit and looking at him, I spoke,

"Take care of things here. I think it's going to take a few hours to a couple of days to come back, depending on how things work out there."

"Sure. Just try to patch things up faster," he spoke, and I nodded at him before getting in the jeep with Caroline.

I saw on the map that a few survivors were coming towards the Libra building and smiled before turning to White,"See ya then. Meet you in a few days."

He waved his hand before moving back into the building through the main gate while the rest of us left towards the north. Towards where my brother, William, was.
