God of Time System: Harem in the Zombie Apocalypse

[Caroline's POV]

…

It has been two weeks since Michael has lost consciousness. Every day, I take care of his body, messaging it from every point so that his muscles won't freeze due to inactivity.

'He will wake up right?' I questioned as I looked at his ever so still body. Sleeping peacefully without any care of the world.

"Sister. Any news?" asked Alex as he entered the room where Michael and I were. He looked at the sleeping Michael for a while as he joked,"should I kiss him? Maybe he will wake up after guessing a kiss from a prince?"

"Already did that," I spoke in a dejected tone.

"Huh?" Alex.

"Huh?"

"I.. I should go then," he spoke before running away from the room. Though right after a few seconds he came back running in the same manner, he ran away.

"Almost forgot. Gramps is calling you. He said that it's about time…" he spoke with a smile before he ran back.

"Sure. Tell him that I…" I saw him already gone by the time I responded,"... will come in a minute."

My eyes then drifted towards Michael, who was sleeping, and I sighed as I, once again, recalled what happened two weeks ago.

When Michael went down to the basement, Alex moved towards the first floor in order to gauge the energy changes in that monster.

According to Alex, that monster went through three changes in the whole battle that took merely a minute.

First, it started releasing a lot of energy, probably moving around the basement, fighting against Michael.

Second, it started changing its structure, and a sudden burst of energy formed inside that monster. The already powerful monster became something more ferocious, much stronger than before.

Finally, the third change was when its energy started deteriorating again. It was slowly deteriorating, though, before any significant change could occur. All its energy signals vanished as if it didn't even exist.

Alex explained the whole phenomenon to White and then White and George went down to see what happened. I wanted to go along with them, but White asked me to watch their backs to see there was no one from behind them.

Down in the basement, according to White and George, Michael was unconscious, with his arms and hands bleeding. There was a strange bat beside Michael, which probably belonged to him.

And then… there was that monster… That thing.

Later on, I too went down to see it with my own two eyes as I observed it and it… was creepy to the core. Even looking at it made me feel goosebumps all over my body.

'Michael fought with something like that, huh?' I questioned back and then and even now, as I was surprised to see how strong Michael was.

"That reminds me of the reason I was here," I muttered as I looked at Michael.

"Sigh… I don't think he knows, does he?" I chuckled a little as I shook my head before wondering how the rest of my family would be faring right now?

'Mother and father should be fine, since they were probably in the military base overseas. As for Angeline. I think she would be fine too… Given how skilled she is, even if she is in a foreign nation, she should easily be able to handle the situation,' I thought as I then stood up before moving towards Michael.

I kissed him on the lips before speaking,"wake up soon, darling. I am still waiting for that night, you know?" and then chuckling before moving out and closing the door from outside.

I turned to George, who was keeping watch outside and said,"Thanks for guarding him when I am not here."

For the past 2 weeks, I have been taking care of Michael, but I can't be here all the time. So at the time I wasn't here, George was the one who took care of him. He stood there outside the gate where Michael was.

Though it wasn't just him but almost everyone kept checking up on him every once in a while to see if he woke up or not. I guess he has already gained another fan following of his own.

I then moved down to the lower floors step by step before reaching down to the ground floor and outside to the gate where Alex, White, and the others were waiting for me.

I turned to look at the new horde of zombies present in front of the gate as they were trying to get in. White looked at me and spoke. "How is he?"

"Still the same," I smiled with a bit of a sad look before turning at the Horde of Zombies in front of us.

"How many today?" I asked as I took the Bat which Micheal had on him. It was really a strange and strong bat. It was stronger than a shotgun and a single swing can kill multiple zombies at once.

​ What was even more strange was that just by holding that weapon, I felt a strange power flowing in me and my strength increasing by another notch.

"Should I open the gate?" asked one of the young men standing near the main gate.

"Yeah. Open it as it usually is," White answered, and he nodded before opening the gate just a little so that the Zombies would come one at a time inside the building.

Ever since Micheal killed that zombie in the basement, more and more zombies started hoarding here. While it was a doom for us, in a way, it was a good thing for us as well.

There were two reasons for that.

One is that, this way, we could improve our strength faster and also gain experience against Zombie Hordes. I don't exactly know how it works, but according to Alex, the more we stay closer to the Zombie Hordes, the faster our energy grows and the stronger we become.

This way we could reach a new height in power while also learning different ways on how to deal with zombies.

The other good thing was the Zombie Cores, which were present in some Zombies. Once again, thanks to Alex, we can find which Zombie has cores and which doesn't. Collecting Zombie cores and gaining power individually was the best way to grow once power.

It was much faster than the first method, but there is a limit to how much you can absorb.

Also, for some reason, the cores of weaker zombies don't seem to be of much use to me and Alex. Maybe because we have already gone past a certain stage of power?

"A strong one is coming!!" one of the men shouted as he looked at a Zombie moving towards us at a rapid speed.

"I will take care of it," I said as I breathed a little and, tracing its trajectory, I moved towards it as fast as I could. Before it could reach anyone of us, I reached in front of it and…

-BOOOM!!!

I hit its head as fast as I could, blowing his skull into the smithereens, killing him in one hit.

"Nice kill!" spoke one.

"Nice kill!" spoke another.

And soon everyone started complimenting me before they went on their own killing spree.

About 3 hours passed, and we finally managed to kill all the Zombies that came in this horde. Every day a wave of zombies comes at us in hordes of about 60-70 Zombies. We had already dealt with the Zombie of the first wave in the morning, and with this wave, today's work was almost done.

Though before we could rejoice even a little…

"Another wave is coming… and this one has some strong ones," spoke Alex as he looked in a direction a bit away from here. Focusing on the direction from where they were coming from,

I saw about 20-30 Zombies coming towards us.

'Guess, I relaxed too soon,' I thought as I tightened my grip on my weapon and prepared for another round.

"This is bad," White said as he looked in the direction of Zombies and confused as I looked at him. Surely we aren't weak enough to deal with another wave, are we?

Looking at the confusion in my eyes, he spoke,

"It's almost nighttime. Also… some of us are already tired."

Hearing him, I traced through the people we have and sure enough, a few of us looked really exhausted. Okay… this is a little bit bad, but-

"We have one more problem…" Alex spoke with a bit of better expression as he kept focusing on the Zombies, which were coming at us. After a momentary pause, he spoke again.

"There is another wave behind them coming towards us. About 100 Zombies."

My eyes turned up open wide as I immediately turned towards the place where the Zombies were coming from, however I still couldn't see anything beyond the wave that was approaching us.

"Close the gate and barricade it from the inside. I guess things are going to be harder from now on," spoke White decisively as he observed the situation. Things were turning bad.

"Not really though," we heard a voice… that sent a sensation through all of us.

"You guys are a bit tired, so you can take a break. I will come back in a few minutes," he spoke with a casual expression as he bit an apple in his hand and moved towards me.

"Hey Carol. Thanks for taking care of me," he spoke with a smile before kissing me on my lips and then slowly taking his weapon back and then patting me as he spoke,"take a break. I will handle things from here."

Michael Aroa… was awake after two full weeks of sleep.
