Chapter 4: Temporary allies.
Eric stood in front of the remaining four survivors, dressed in casual wear rather than his uniform.
Like everyone else in the store, he was a gamer, and he also came to get a game to get hooked on before the world turned into an absolute mess.
That said, being a gamer is one of the main reasons all of them are able to understand the situation so well.
Any other group of people would be panicking by now.
*Clears throat*
"Now then, the reason I am standing before you right now is because, just like you, I want to survive this, and I can't do that on my own. We don't know why the world is suddenly like this, but we can still survive, if we stick together. So why don't we start by introducing ourselves, build a little trust with ourselves."
His words sank into the hearts of the people listening. Though they were still wary of one another, Eric's idea didn't seem all that bad.
Jayhan, on the other hand, remained in the dark room with his girlfriend, listening to everything that was going on outside.

"I don't mind, so I'll go first." Someone finally spoke. Seated on the ground, the woman raised her hand to introduce herself.
She was dressed in long jeans and wore a hoodie that was complemented with a blue cap.
