Chapter 219 [Temporal Locking!]
The dark night that was about to be blessed by the light of the sun and the dark apocalyptic city, which was more or less in shambles, greeted me as soon as I came out of the [Second Space]. My eyes once again looked at the devastation caused by the fights between Angela\'s group and my group.
Though unsurprisingly, things have changed. All of them who stayed within the [Second Space] have grown considerably after a short span of training of 3 months. Including the people from the military, too. Although they didn\'t grow anymore in their powers based on the Cessation energy, their other aspects, like their skills and stats, get boosted by their constant efforts.
"We should get there, shall we?" asked the women dressed in black as she took a few steps ahead. Her eyes looked at me with a kind smile as she observed me with a gentle expression. It was the same for the pink-haired girl with heterochromia purple and blue eyes, Enkonomiya.
"Let\'s wait for a few more minutes. The sun is going to come up anytime now," Miya said as she looked at Angela as if she were looking at her own sister. I then observed the others having nonchalant, joyous moments of their own.
At a distance, I found the Jeep that I had bought from the [Shop]
[Super Jeep(Rare)]
[One of the advanced machinery of the Planet Iktara, which ran on energy rather than any inexhaustible source. As long as it has enough energy source, it can function for a very long time.
Special Effects:
>When under attack, it forms a shield that reduces incoming damage by 50%
>Once fully charged, both its weapons and its fuel capacity can run for 2 weeks at full power.
>Contains 3 semi-auto rifles, 2 side machine guns, war knife tires, nitro boost and a rocket launcher.]
\'Looking at its condition, it seems I won\'t need to worry about buying another one,\' I nodded before moving towards the [Super Jeep] and everyone moved behind me. The other Jeep which the Military brought with them was also there, standing without any scratch, which made me think a little if there were any anomaly about it but not finding anything strange, I gave up on it.
Nothing more to be honest, as we just hopped on the Jeep and the sun shine blessed us with its first ray of light and the night, which was darker than black before, had now been dimmed by the brightness of the Light\'s reflection.
Sitting on the driver\'s seat, I looked beside me where Angela had firmed her position and Miya beside her, who was looking at her with slight annoyance. At the back, Irene, Walter, and George were sitting with Alex and Erika at the very back.
The slythreen and the Medusae were sitting with the military and fortunately, even after having a couple of extra people, there was still not a problem of seating as everyone comfortably had their place in the two cars.
"Let\'s go," I spoke as I looked at the area in front of me and started the engine. A metallic sound of the vibrating engine came as the jeep started moving forwards and already knowing the directions to the Military Base, I pressed the accelerator firmly, reaching a speed of 200 within a matter of seconds.
Though we could have gone higher, we still didn\'t because the other Jeep behind us could only move at the maximum of 220 Speed. It wasn\'t that it was slow, but it was an old model which they were driving, and after treading different paths for over so much of time, it became slow.
Time passed slowly as we drew towards the area, killing various zombies on our way as we passed through various cities. At times, I just stopped to kill the zombies while at other times, I just killed them while driving the Jeep.
There were times when Angela drove the car, while at times, Walter or Miya took over as well. It was a fun ride as we joked here and there and everyone told in bits about themselves.
[Level: 18 (49,999,890/50,000,000 Exp)]
\'About there,\' I thought as I traced another zombie not far from here.
[Sonic Drifter (C-Grade Zombie)]
[A D-Grade Runner evolved its ability to use Sound and learnt the ways of use frequencies to its benefits. Has the killer instincts and can sense any form of danger towards him

(2) Rapid Time: Increase the speed by 5 times for 5 minutes. The stats will be reduced by 90% after the 5 minutes are over for the next 3 hours.
Reward for Killing: +5000 Exp]
And using the slash that I learned
[Ground Zero: First Slash!]
I cut him down even from a such distance.
[You have killed a C-Grade Zombie(Sonic Drifter)!]
[+5000 Exp]
[Level up!]
[+5 Stat Points gained!]
[+5 Skill Points gained!]
[You have gained a new skill!]
[Temporal Locking!]
[The user exists outside of time, which makes them immune to its effects and all that is caused by it. This can render the user ageless as a result. Since the user\'s body is not affected by time, they do not expend energy, and therefore neither need to eat nor sleep. Because time does not flow for the user, any diseases also do not progress, thus effectively rendering the user immune to disease symptoms and damage. They may also exhibit regenerative capabilities as a result of their temporal lock, as their bodies will always revert to the point in time in which they were not injured.
Requirements: No energy required]
"Another absurd skill," I thought as I looked at the skill before turning around to look at the area around me. Miya was absorbing me with a keen expression as she asked,"anything wrong?"
I shook my head as I sighed before speaking,"Nothing. Let\'s continue."
I then hopped on the Jeep again as we started driving again. I was already level 19, and it was only a matter of time before I reach Level 20. While normally, I wouldn\'t have given much thought about it, but after looking at how Rhea was behaving, I can\'t help but look forward to it.
\'Should I get to level 20 first and then kill that bastard?\' I thought as I looked at the possibility for a few seconds before turning to Angela,
"Hey Angela, is there any place around with a lot of zombies? Miya, can you try sensing around as well? Though make sure it isn\'t too far, okay?" I asked, as I decided if the place isn\'t that far, maybe I can reach Level 20 first. This way, my curiosity won\'t eat me up while I could also take care of those guys as well.
Angela and Miya were confused a little, but they both nodded as they began searching around for any place with a lot of Zombies. and after a 5 minutes of silence, it was Miya who spoke up first,
"There is one."
Angela, who also found the horde, spoke up,"there are a couple of A-Grades as well, along with many B-Grades. I think there is a den of NightCrawlers there as well."
And hearing those words, a smile formed on my face as I open the gate of the Jeep as I spoke,"keep moving. I will be back in a moment." And then… I jumped off the Jeep, leaving the Jeep to keep moving forward, while I focused on the place where the den was.
\'Let\'s get to level 20 then,\' I mumbled with a smile as I moved towards the place where the den was.
