No Time

Chapter 6: Wanted: Zombie

It's been about 5 months from when I started training my siblings. We wake up at 5 every day and work out until it's time for school. As I've told them to, they don't eat breakfast or dinner. Not eating breakfast and dinner made them feel weird at first. They were very grumpy and woozy. They're fine now, but it was a very frightening sight to see the ever so kind Ge getting grouchy and my sweet little sister become so violently protective of her sweets. Xiao Lai was still the same since he's always grumpy.

Ge is good at martial arts. Well, it was to be expected. His staff form is getting closer to perfection every passing day. It's kind of scary how he progresses so quickly.

Xiao Lai is still learning how to hack, so good luck to him with that since I don't have any knowledge on that stuff. He's doing ok with the practice swords that I've given him and I'll probably order some real ones sometime next month. He's pretty good at guns too, but the closer ranged kind, not the sniper kind.

Xiao Bing is getting the basics of wielding the whip and her accuracy for guns and arrows are quite shocking. She shot a bulls-eye on her first shot with a gun! And that's talking about calculating the recoil as well! Maybe it's from all the shooting games at the arcade that she plays with me during the weekends... She's awfully gung-ho about winning the small competitions between us after all. I'll still teach her how to use close combat weapons like knives just in case she gets in a situation that calls for it.

Anyways, they're all getting the hang of it. It's nice to know that they'll be able to survive easily when the apocalypse starts.

Now, I just have to prepare the things that aren't food. Ge mentioned before that we needed proper supplies. I hadn't thought about it, but things like toilet paper are really important. Having gone through the apocalypse, toilet paper was like luxury...

For chocolate, sweets, and animals that'll be used for meat, I'll buy them during the month the apocalypse will occur.

I'll also have to prepare a vehicle that we can safely ride on. They can all live in my space when night time comes while I guard.

I also have to somehow get information about electronics that are pretty durable too. There are no worries about the batteries since I'll have a plasma globe ready to smash open during the red phase. It'll give us lightning powers so if we concentrate a bit, the electronics can be charged easily.

There are lots of things to prepare and I'm not even sure if 7 years can make up for it. But first things first, I have to train my siblings properly. Then, I'll find all the animals and materials we have to touch during the red phase. I'll aim to make each of us gain different powers that are useful to each person. There is no maximum capacity for the number of powers that a person can have, so we'll just have to touch everything we can in 10 seconds. I guess I have to train my siblings' hands' dexterity and speed as well...

I'm confident that all my siblings can get powers. Although I'm not too sure about Xiao Lai, I at least know that Ge and Xiao Bing can. Ge had his wings and Xiao Bing had an affinity with plants since she was holding a pencil, doing homework, gaining an affinity with wood. She was used as a peacemaker between humans and mutated plants. After she was sold away, our group couldn't get the plants in control. Shows how much of an important person she was.

As for Xiao Lai, if he really isn't able to gain powers, I'll do my all to help him get through a zombie trial.

A zombie trial is when the human eats the zombie instead of being eaten. The human has to suffer through immense pain and has a high chance of becoming a mutant zombie if he fails to pass through the trial. But if he does pass, he'll have a superior body and mind. Power users can pass through it easily and have a chance to gain an extra power and the super body & mind. Regular humans have to struggle through, but their gains are more. Besides gaining the superior body & mind, they get to gain 5 powers and gain an abnormal power like the children born from ability users have as well.

Hypnotic zombies were always a problem until humans who gained mind control abilities appeared and these were only some of the regular abnormal powers. There was teleportation, flight, not being affected by extreme heat or cold, shapeshifting, growing or shrinking in size, invisibility, copy & pasting, slowing time down, and lots of other powers. Words can't be used to describe how powerful those people who passed the zombie trials, as well as those power user-born children were.

Actually, zombies were spotted before the apocalypse officially occurred. The zombies were made in a lab in Greenland. They were transported all over the world by an old mad scientist who wanted to see the end of the world before he died. Tragically, he died before it happened, turned into a zombie himself.

This means, that if I get ahold of a zombie before the apocalypse starts, we'll have extra powers, a superhuman body, and an abnormal power before the red phase! Such a great plan! That's it! I'm going to go hunting for those zombies!

But how should I start?

Maybe I can travel to Greenland?

Nope. I need permission or guardians. My parents are definitely going to get suspicious and not approve. I'll do something about it when the time comes I guess.
