Jun absorbed every dead body on the room. He tried giving Adrian some, but he refused vehemently.The night ended rather quietly. The remaining women were brought to the National Police sinve they have better skills when dealing with traumatized individuals.
Some of the women claimed that they were forced to do things that they didn"t want and they couldn"t do anything but accept things that happened to them.
Marianne was unconscious when she was brought back to her room. Luckily, Sheila was her roommate and she was able to look after her even though she was still a bit drunk. Since she can"t diagnose her, she could only cast her skills on Marianne.
That night, Jun stayed by Marianne"s side. Marianne woke up past midnight when Jun was about to fall asleep. Jun who was a bit startled asked her how was her dream. The two smiled at each other. One implied that what happened was just a dream while the other agreed to never talked about the matter again.
Sheila who was sleeping at the side, woke up. She turned her body and felt awkward seeing the two hugging each other.
When she noticed that the angle was quite illogical to be hugging, her face reddened.
They were actually kissing!
She blinked a lot of times just to confirm whether what she was seeing was true or not. When the two parted, she hurriedly closed her eyes. Unable to suppress her curiosity, she peeked a few times and caught the two pa.s.sionately kissing each other.
When Marianne released a few moans, Sheila decided that it was time to get out of here. She jumped out of mattress, then ran out of the room while apologizing, egging them to continue their hard work.
Marianne"s face reddened while Jun continued attacking her.

After walking a few meters away from the door, Sheila accidentally hit someone. She instinctively closed her eyes when she felt that she was going to fall backwards. The feeling of pain didn"t come as she expected, and was replaced a warm embrace. She opened her eyes and saw Adrian staring at her. When she finally realized what was going on, she felt the hand that caught her back slowly let her go and her body was already standing on its own.
"Is there a problem? Why are you flushed? Are you still drunk?" Adrian questioned.

Sheila looked at his eyes filled with worry. Why is he acting like this? Isn"t he ignoring me like I don"t exist?
When Sheila didn"t answer, Adrian shrugged and walked past her.
And his hand was suddenly pulled back by Sheila.
"Where are you going?" Sheila said.
Adrian frowned, but politely replied. "I have something to discuss with Jun. I heard he"s in there?"
When Sheila heard his answer, she immediately pulled him away. At that moment, she felt so strong since she was able to pull a grown adult all by herself. Unbeknownst to her, Adrian actually enjoyed her company and let himself be led by her.
The living quarters were all on the second floor of the mall. The first floor became a huge storage room since the scavenged things were all piled up on the supermarket.
Sheila finally stopped in front of one of the stalls. Before she could speak, a bottled fruit juice appeared in front of her.
"I don"t have any medicine for hangover but I hope this helps."
"T-thank you." Sheila blus.h.i.+ngly took the bottle.
Adrian brought out the same bottled drink from his dimensional storage, then opened the cap to drink some.
"Is there any problem? I really need to talk with Jun."
"Is it urgent?" Sheila asked.
Adrian thought for a bit before answering. "Not really."
"Good." As if possessed, Sheila suddenly changed her temper and glared at Adrian.
"Let"s sit down. I have a few things to clarify with you."
Sheila looked around, but couldn"t find a good spot where there was enough lighting.
To minimize gas usage for the generators, the mall run its power efficiently. There were only a few dim lamp post lit outside.
Adrian noticed her predicament, and so he took the lead. "Follow me."
Sheila became confused, but still followed him.
They climbed up the ladder that leads up to the roof of the bus. They saw Bernard and Dyna happily chatting with each other. It seems like it was their s.h.i.+ft today.
Adrian told them that he was here to relieve them and they could rest now. Sheila on her side actually tried to stop him, but Bernard and Dyna quickly agreed with Adrian with a wide smile on their faces.
As the two left, they couldn"t help but chuckle at the young man and woman on top of the bus.
Now that they were actually alone, Sheila felt her face reddened even more. They sat on the folding chairs as they gazed at the empty streets.
Before Sheila could think of anything to say, Adrian said something she would never thought he would say.
"I think I like you. But I"m not really sure about it. Maybe its just infatuation. You know, since we always see each other."
"Then, why are you avoiding me! All this time! Its been a few days and its making me angry!"
Adrian felt shock. He didn"t knew that she could actually act fierce like this.
"I-I got scared. I don"t know if you"ll judge me. For what I was and what I"ve done. I was scared."
"Then why are you telling me this now?" Sheila raised her brows inquisitively.
"I realized that life is too short to be scared. So, that"s why..." Adrian turned his head and stared at Sheila.
"I"ll be brave."
Then leaned forward to kiss her.
Adrian thought that he would be slapped and so he readied himself. But she didn"t.
She actually responded and kissed back. When they parted, Sheila had a wide grin on her face.
"Just to let you know. I think I"m older than you, so I take charge of this relations.h.i.+p, okay? No buts. No questions. You just follow my words and always answer to my questions. Okay?"
"Okay." Adrian pulled a panda plushy from his dimensional storage. "Take this."
"Thank you." Sheila took the panda and played with it. "I like it."
The next day, Jun walked outside the gate early in the morning. He was fully armored with a new set of leather pants, leather jacket and shoes.
He thought he was early, but he saw groups of people already on their way to scavenge sc.r.a.ps or fight the infected for experience and their loot.
Just before he could leave, he heard Adrian"s voice sounded from above.
"A large horde was coming from the town plaza. The police scouts saw them from afar and had to cancel their operations in the surrounding area. They requested help last night and is probably waiting for a response."
Jun looked up and saw Sheila sleeping on Adrian"s shoulder. A jacket was draped over her body.
Jun nodded. "Let"s see how those bad boys do in actual battle."
He walked towards the police station and entered the jail. He woke every prisoner by clanging on the iron bars.
