God of Time System: Harem in the Zombie Apocalypse

"Long time no see, Myla." I spoke as I saw that girl, who was observing me with a shocked expression.

"Michael…?" Myla spoke as she observed me. Wearing a military uniform, carrying a semiautomatic rifle in her hand, she observed me with a keen expression before the girl beside her spoke,

"Sergent Major Myla. Do you know him?"

Myla looked at me for a few moments before speaking,"a little. What are you doing all by yourself? This place isn't safe."

Her eyes traced around the place, through the rubble and the area, before she asked,"Jeff, any more zombies around?"

The guy who was driving the jeep looked at Myla before his eyes turned red again for a moment before turning back to normal,"a few zombies around, but nothing too much to be concerned about."

Myla nodded before turning to me,"thanks for saving us. Nice weapon you got there. There is a safe zone about 25 kilometers from here though…" Her eyes traced me from top to bottom and then spoke,"well, come up. We can give you a ride. Though since we are on a mission, we might take a longer route."

Hearing her words, I pondered a little before turning to Jeff,"search for high energy around that mart."

Though confused, Jeff did that without much hesitation before he turned and spoke,"two energies found," and then a sudden realization hit him,"wait! How did you know-"

"I have met someone with a similar ability. One of the two energies belongs to him. Actually, I came here searching for them," I spoke as I looked at them.

Hearing that someone had the same ability as Jeff, a little shocked expression appeared on their faces before Jeff turned to Myla and they both nodded at each other.

"We will help you meet them. Then take them with us as well," the fourth guy among them spoke with a bit of a calculative smile before he raised his hand, helping me up the jeep.

As soon as I reached the jeep, Jeff ignited the engine, and we moved towards the direction where Caroline and Alex were. Normally I would have searched the whole area, but if I can avoid the whole problem, then why not?

"So… umm… Michael. Where are you from? I am Shawn, by the way. Nice to meet you,"spoke the blue-haired guy as he looked at me before pointing at the girl and said,"She is Clara and that's our driver, Jeff. As for Sergeant Major, I think you already have met her."

I checked his Stats and a bit of his description before losing interest as I turned to Clara and noticed that she wasn't anything special either. As for Jeff, he had better stats than the others while he was already an E-Grade.

As for Myla, she was halfway to D-Grade, which actually surprised me. She is strong.

"So Michael. What were you before all this, the Apocalypse?" Shawn asked as he passed on a can of soda from his stock and I observed the can

[Inspect!]

[Soda Can]

[Contains normal soda. Nothing out of particular. Might feel some chills because it's cold.]

I then drank the soda as I spoke,"a medical student. 4th year student, to be exact. Was almost done with my degree before the world turned upside down."

A slight chuckle escaped my mouth and Shawn patted my shoulders as he spoke,"no worries man. We all had our worst. If it makes you feel any better, I was about to get my vacation after 6 months of continuous duty, only for things to turn out the way they are."

There was a slight pained look on his face as I cheered the can with him before looking in the direction where Caroline and Alex were before turning to Myla, who was busy looking around the area, as vigilant as she could be.

"Ummm… if it is not much of a secret, then can I ask you.. How do you know Sergent Major?" Clara was the one to ask as her curiosity was eating her.

Myla took a look at Clara before returning to her alert mode.

"Well, we were dating in high school," I replied with a calm face.

"Cough Cough… I'm sorry… I didn't quite catch that…" Shawn almost choked on his soda as he looked at me with a bit of blank look and I simply smiled at him.

After pondering a little, I decided to share bits of the story to them,

"It wasn't anything major. Her father transferred her to my highschool where she was under a false name. Well… stuff happened, and we formed a contractual bond back then. In exchange for being my girlfriend, I will be her friend without asking any particular questions of sorts, while also helping her get accustomed to the school.

Since I was both studious and good looking, girls used to pester me a lot back then. I just kind of wanted to settle with a nice job first so I was fine with this deal. Helped me avoid a lot of unnecessary situations.

And because I was friends with almost everyone in the class back then, I helped her make friends without much problem while also telling her the dos and don'ts of the class."

"Being the daughter of a general, I was always taught rules and stuff and had no friends whatsoever. It was hard to get along with people, so the deal was nice for me. The best part was that Michael never asked anything too personal about me. Just things on the surface. Neither of us were interested in things that couples do, so that was a plus since my father is kind of strict with that kind of thing as well," Myla joined as she told a few things from her side.

"Though it kind of hurt when you vanished without saying goodbye,"I spoke with a bit of a sad smile as I recalled how not a trace was left when she stopped attending school.

The place she lived, her phone, the records, everything was gone.

"If it weren't for mom finding bits about you, I would have been scarred for life thinking that I made a ghost girlfriend. But I guess military has military ways of doing things," I spoke with a bit of sigh and she looked at me with a sad look before speaking,

"My father… is too strict. Especially with the circumstances around me, even I believed it was safer for you to not get involved with me."

"Mom said the same thing," I said as I chuckled at how my mother warned me about not getting involved in this thing anymore.

"We are here," spoke Jeff as he stopped the jeep a few buildings ahead of VAGUS mart.

"Well, all that's in the past now. I am glad that you are doing fine, Myla. Let's catch up sometime,"I spoke as I stood up and then jumped down the jeep before the others also followed.

"Sure," Myla spoke as she clicked her rifle and both her and I looked at the building where Jeff stopped the jeep.
