Chapter 3: CH 003: An Unexpected Reunion
Dave's heart skipped a beat as he realized the danger he was in. He had been so caught up in the wonder of the system that he hadn't noticed the movements around him. The group closed in on him, their weapons pointed at him.
He was worried, yet he knew he had to think of something fast if he wanted to survive.
"Who are you?" one of them growled, a huge man with a scar above his left eyebrow. "What are you doing here?"
Dave hesitated, unsure of how much to reveal. Yet, he had to say something, to evade the intent gazes and threatening swords of the group.
They are in an apocalypse, and seeing the way everyone of them was equipped with weapons, it could only mean one thing. "Wait, I mean no harm," he said, holding up his hands in a gesture of peace. "I'm just a survivor, like you guys."
As he said this, a figure emerged from the group, a young lady with piercing green eyes and a sword by her side.
"Wait, I know him." she said, her voice firm but measured. "You're Dave, aren't you? Dave Addams!"
Tilting his head to the side, Dave's eyes met with the lady's, his mind racing as he realized that he knew her.
"Simbi? Is that you? What are you doing here?" he asked, his voice laced with surprise.
