Rebirth: 100 Days Before Doomsday - Chapter 156

Chapter 156: Zombie Points (III)

Ding!

[Congratulations on completing the quest!]

[Points earned: 70,000]

Grace’s eyes grew wide the moment she saw the number. There were only about fifty zombies in the area and killing each one would have earned them either 500 or 1000 Points based on their method of killing. And yet, she was seeing so many points being added to her account.

“How?” She demanded an explanation from 2025.

“It’s all thanks to Rune. The daggers he was using were some sort of magical items, and the system gifted him 2000 points for his each kill. He alone killed 22 zombies tonight.” 2025 answered while gazing in Rune’s direction for a fleeting moment.

Grace was surprised by the revelation. Her gaze also shifted to Rune and she immediately gave up on the idea of reprimanding him for not sticking to the group and charging into the hoard on his own.

Though she knew that he was powerful and could handle himself, she still couldn’t help but worry about him as she knew just how bad the situation with these zombies could get. But now as she looked at the number of points she earned thanks to him, her wheels of her brain were already shifting in another direction.

If he wanted to go out and kill some of those dead creatures, then she shouldn’t be stopping him, right?

While she was busy making up these sinister plans in her brain, the rest of the team was slowly heading out to their respective units as the field training had come to an end for the day.

It was seven in the evening and Grace was feeling hungry. So, she dismissed 2025 and the digital screen before she also moved to head out to her own apartment.

“Let’s have dinner together. We will be heading over to your place after our shower.” Davian informed her as she came across him, Dr. Kian, and Rune talking outside in the hallway.

While Dr. Kian was neatly dressed, Rune and Davian looked like a mess just like her after killing all those zombies just minutes ago. The three of them badly needed a shower. And let’s not even talk about the mess they had created on the floors of Unit 2203, the hallway outside, and will continue creating all the way to their respective units on the 21st floor.

“Don’t worry, Boss. We will take care of all this mess while you will be having a romantic candle light dinner with you lo-”

The rest of the words never made their way past Aleena’s lips as Grace sharp and deadly glare landed on the woman, immediately silencing her. The woman motioned zipping her lips and only then did Grace returned her attention to the trio of men still waiting for her response.

“I’ll be waiting then.” Saying that, she turned around to head to her apartment, but not before sparing another warning look at Aleena. However, both of them knew that the latter wasn’t going to stay silent for too long.

The moment Grace was out of sight, Aleena took out her phone and sent a message in the group chat where there was no sign of the two bosses, Dr. Kian, or Rune, just the peasants.

[It looks like our Lady Boss will be having a romantic candlelight dinner tonight.]

It didn’t take even five seconds before replies were flooding in.

[Nina: Who’s the lucky guy this time?]

[Kevin: I’m sure it’s King. Considering how good of a cook he is, I’m sure my Boss will take him up for a dinner date at any given time. Catch here is that he will be the one doing the cooking.]

[Seth: I think it’s Rune this time. That dude has been on his best performance all this time. I think he derves a reward from the Boss.]

[Amber: Oh no! I want it to be Dr. Kian. Like please! Our hot and handsome doc needs some attention from the Boss.]

Aleena finished reading through the replies before she shook her head and quickly typed back –

[It’s a special day today because the heavens have decided to answer all of your requests. King, Dr. Kian, and Rune – all three of them are joining Boss for dinner.]

[Jasper: Good luck to all three of them. I wish them nothing but success.]

[Silas: I’m on King’s side, but I’ll respect Boss’ decision in the end because that’s what King told us to do.]

[Valeska: Oh! I’m on King’s side too. I know that he will get Boss’ heart with his sincerity and efforts.]

Before anyone else could have commented, someone suddenly dropped a red packet in the group chat, taking everyone by surprise.

And without giving them any time to recover, that person dropped another red packet.

However, as people finally pulled themselves together and decided to accept the packets before anyone else could, they realized both the packets belonged to someone.

[Red Packet: a custom-made handgun – Silas]

[Red Packet: a pair of twin secret weapons – Valeska]

It took people a few very long seconds to realize exactly who the person was behind these sudden red packets, and their answer came by checking the chat of both Silas and Valeska. Both of them supported a certain person who seemed to have infiltrated in the group chat.

On the other side, in a certain apartment on twenty-first floor, Grace was busy preparing dinner while having no idea what her subordinates and the man, standing not far from her, were doing at that moment.

“Davian, what are you doing on that phone. Come here and help me with the sauce.” She called out for help when she noticed him staring at his phone with a bright smile on his lips. She found herself wondering what made him look this happy.

Davian immediately put his phone aside and was next to her within seconds. He took over the spatula from her hand and motioned her to move so that he could take over the job.

At that very moment, Rune and Dr. Kian entered the apartment.
