Chapter 13 - Going Out Again
After eating breakfast, Nile stored the remaining foods inside the Storage Space. He also noticed that this amount of food can only last him for at most tomorrow's breakfast.
Storing them inside the storage space was quite easy for Nile, he only needs to hold the item and 'Think' of storing them inside the Storage Space and voila, it will vanish immediately and will be stored into the storage space.
According to the System, the Storage Space can also be upgraded by using Apocalypse Point of course. Right now the 'Free' Storage Space that the System provided was only at 3 cubic meters. Nile thought that it was enough for now, as he did not have many things to carry right now. After storing the foods, there was still quite a big space remaining inside.
'The zombies' appearance are really disgusting,' Nile mumbled to himself while he was at the window glancing at the zombies outside. After obtaining the System, his confidence rose into another level, but the appearance of these zombies still clearly disturbed him.
Speaking of appearance, Nile did not have an opportunity of inspecting his appearance previously. First because of hunger, second his thought of surviving first always echoes in his mind. But now that he has free time, he decided to inspect his current appearance first.
Beside his bedroom(former Nile), there was a full body mirror. Nile glances at his current appearance and was quite shocked at what he was seeing.
He has messy hair, dark circles surrounded his eyes, no eyebags could be seen as that part was almost hallowed due to how thin he is.. His face, the cheeks are also hollowed just like a beggar on the street. Thin neck, and overall, his body's appearance were quite pathetic. His face was quite pale and he is a perfect example of 'Only Skin and Bones'.
The only difference was that his eyes were emitting confidence, this comes from the fact that he now has a System and is confident of surviving this Apocalypse. He could not recognize his actual appearance from before because right now, his face looks more or like a skull than a face. But base on the memory, he is quite average looking. He could not be considered as ugly, he could not be considered as handsome either.
During his previous life, he also had an average face. Nile can only think that maybe he was cursed by the Gods and is destined to have an average face all his life.
He was wearing a brown T-shirt, and blue jogger pants. He noticed that the T-shirt must have been color white previously but because of the dirt that stuck into it, it is now color brown. He notices that he is not wearing any shoes or even slippers right now. He did not know why the hell he did not notice this before, he had literally run(walk, he only thinks that he has run previously) three houses away and then came back here.
Well it did not matter anymore as he plans on cleaning himself first before dealing with his perks outside.
As he had no spare water, he could not bathe himself so he decided to wipe his body with a clean cloth instead. He wiped his whole body, with some clean cloth that was in his wardrobe. He then chooses some clothes from the wardrobe, and stores some of them inside the Storage Space.
Looking at the mirror, he is now, wearing a black hoodie, black pants and black sneakers. He decided to wear all black as he knows that with the upcoming battles, blood will be spilled and he cannot guarantee that the clothes he is wearing will not be stained.
The clothes that he stored on the 'Storage Space' also consisted mainly of the color Red and Black.
Nile then goes to the kitchen and picks up the butcher knife that he left previously. Because his strength is already back to normal, he can now manage to wield the butcher knife normally.
He slowly walks outside the house. The body of the teller zombie was still there lying face down on the road. The teller zombie was only 3 meters away from his door.
The other zombies are scattered throughout the road. The closest to him was the one on his right, 5 meters away. On his left, 8 meters away, and on the middle of the road was the, 'Standing Still' zombie still 'Standing Still'. The other zombies are also far away from each other.
With the zombies' distance towards each other, Nile thought that even if they did manage to hear the commotion he will make, he assumes that he will already be done killing the zombie and can decide whether to withdraw first or to continue his attack.
