The First Dragon God

It took both Miguel's and Grewishka's groups almost the whole day of working hard, tirelessly, without any form of rest before they were finally done dissecting the body of the mutant boar.

This was also with the help of Ves, who helped them to break the bones that were almost as strong as steel. If not, they wouldn't even had been able to get anything done.

By the time they were done, Grewishka and his group decided to take a small portion of the meat for themselves. This was contrary to their previous request of taking just a leg or two for themselves.

Instead, they took the amount they felt would be enough for the for a single day or just two meals.

There were reasons for this,or this and one of them is because of how unexpectedly heavy the meat of the Mutant Boar is.

After Miguel had successfully cut off a leg for Grewishka's group, they tried carrying it but even with the combined strength of eleven individuals, they were barely able to lift the meat up. They had to drop it barely a few seconds later as it was just too heavy for them.

That was just one of the reasons but the actual reason is because of Leo and Ves. To be precise, it's the strength that the both of them displayed.

After witnessing just how strong Ves is for himself and seeing how capable the young boy, Leo is, Grewishka decided to move the location of his group's base to the the residential building area where, to be right beside the two powerhouses.

His thoughts were simple. Leo and Ves are strong and by far the strongest he has met since the world ended. Yes, it's just been three days but in those three days, Grewishka had gone through multiple near death experience.

Also, not only about Leo's and Ves' physic strength, the addition of the wolves changes everything. From the way Grewishka sees it, it increases their chances of survival by more than a thousand fold.

With this, he thought, why not stay close to such powerful people and go into an alliance with them? No matter how he thought about it, it was more beneficial to him and group, than staying out all by themselves in such a dangerous world.

His leader status? Well, that can go to hell. Would he tell a zombie horde that has caught up to him and were about to about to devour him that he's the leader of group of a survivor group? Of course, do zombies or the monsters know reason? They would ravage him without mercy.

Of course all these depends on if the two powerhouses themselves agrees to his request.

Luckily for him, when he brought it up with Ves, she only asked how many survivors his group has and after he had given her the answer, she readily agreed.

Grewishka would be lying if he said that he wasn't surprised by how easily Ves accepted but when he heard her reason, he completely understood.

"She's right. No man can survive as an island in this new world. It might had been possible for some people before the world went to shit, but not anymore."

Grewishka wiped the sweat from his brow, the metallic scent of blood clinging to his clothes.

"Man... I thought I was tough," he muttered. "Guess not."

He chuckled to himself, shaking his head. His mind drifted to a simpler time—nights out, fast cars, and faster women. A crooked grin tugged at his lips as he remembered his college life and all the hot girls he used to bag and the majority of them that has turned into zombies.

"Fuck. Why did Tinisha also have to turn. Her stuff was premium. Gawd dayum, that tightness and those thighs that could crush a man's soul have become nothing more than a walking dead. What a waste." Grewishka unknowingly mused to himself out loud.

His group members burst out into laughter when they heard what he said. They knew that Grewishka was a famous playboy but for him to be thinking of such thing during a time like this was really surprising.

Nonetheless, they understood him as they too had lost a lot of people, both family and friends, since the world ended.

The only thing they all can do is get stronger, if possible become as strong as the boy and the lady, and survive for as long as they can.

Leo and Ves were seated in the living room of the apartment, discussing plans for tomorrow. They would had loved to go to bed immediately as the day has been a very busy one for them, from clearing the zombies in the building—which they are yet to complete, to fighting the Mutant Boar, and then, there was also the incident with the wolves.

All these in one day. If it wasn't for their somewhat significant high level and their unique physique, they would had collapsed a long time ago like Miguel and his group that are sleeping like logs in their respective apartments.

But even with that, their mental health could not be ignored. Right now, even Ves who has higher stats and more endurance than Leo due to her hambie nature, is feeling very tired and just wants to sleep.

"Ms Ves, I will take the wolves out tomorrow. We will check out the surroundings and look for a supermarket as planned," Leo said, mapping out his plans for the next day.

"Are you going alone? With just the wolves? Will you be ok?" Ves asked worriedly.

She was aware that Leo was strong but going out on his own, even if it's with the wolves is something she doesn't want to agree to.

"I think I will be fine. I don't know if I will encounter other animals from the nearby zoos, that are now turned monsters. But I think I should be fine. I have the wolves with me and they aren't weak. Also, I can use Nightshade's abilities to run if I find myself in too much of a danger that I can't fight through," Leo replied, putting on a reassuring smile.

He was aware that the outside world was dangerous but he was confident about his own safety. It wasn't arrogance. It was type of confidence that came from within. Even Leo himself has no idea how to explain it.

Ves looked at Leo, thinking of ways to make him change his mind but when she saw the confident look on his face, she knew his mind was made up.

"Then, I would take Miguel and his group, and continue clearing the zombies in the building. With their help, we should be able to get it done before the end of tomorrow," Ves said, and Leo nodded.

"Then, I will be going to bed. I feel like dying right now," Leo said, as he stood up and dragged his feet to his room for the night.

After Leo had left, Ves still say in the living room for a few more minutes, thinking of how she's to proceed the next day, before going to her room for the night.
