When they heard Levi's proclamation, everyone turned to stare at him in confusion.
It was baffling to hear him insisting on acting alone, especially when he had barely escaped the jaws of death earlier.
For a moment, no one could tell if Levi had lost his mind or if he still hadn't realized how weak he was.
Then again, how was that possible?
After the way the mutated zombies had almost shredded him to pieces, how could Levi not realize how defenseless he was against them?
Unbeknownst to them, Levi had better things to do rather than tag along with them.
“No way! You've already recognized and accepted your weaknesses, so there's no longer a need to act alone! It'd be too
dangerous without us around!”
Zoey turned her gaze toward the others and commanded, “Follow my orders! From now on, we'll split up into teams! I'll start the ball rolling together with Phoenix and Venom Fiend. We'll gather back in six hours, but until then, the rest of you are free to roam around and train. All right, let's go!”
With that, Zoey, Phoenix, and Venom Fiend became the first team to escort and protect Levi.
The others, too, split themselves into evenly matched teams of three before setting off to begin their respective training.
Left with no other choice, Levi sighed in resignation as he followed Zoey and her team.
Alas, they had barely taken a few steps when a group of mutated zombies suddenly appeared.
Upon seeing that, Zoey chuckled. “See what I mean? If you had gone alone, you might have run into danger the very next second! Letting us escort you is the only way to survive!”
“Yes, you have to stay close to us, Boss. Danger lurks everywhere!” Phoenix added.
“These monsters are tough!” Venom Fiend grumbled. “My venom doesn't even work on them! We'd better watch our backs!”
To their surprise, Levi scoffed, “Ha! What's so scary about these monsters? I've killed at least ten thousand of them!”
The three of them stared at him incredulously.
Not only was it a bold statement on Levi's part, but it also just couldn't be true.
It was the first time the world had had a run-in with those mutated monsters, so no one in the past could have seen or even heard of them.
But if Levi wasn't lying, could he have met them three years ago?
