The man looked at her with disbelief. His lips trembled. Then his eyes widened as he saw Ivy turn to the remaining zombies. She moved quickly, her arms slicing through the air. Each zombie fell with a single hit, like she was chopping vegetables in a market.
He stood frozen, watching.
'She… she's not human. She's like a storm. How can someone kill zombies like they're nothing?'
Meanwhile, Ivy didn't even notice his stunned expression. After the last zombie dropped, she brushed the dust off her hands and started walking toward her base.
The man blinked, then hurried to follow her. "Wait! Who are you? Thank you for saving my life. My name is Marco."
Ivy gave a small nod. "Ivy. I was just on my way to the nearby base. I heard you can buy food there."
Marco stopped in his tracks. His eyes widened. "Base? Is there a base other than military?"
"Yes," Ivy said calmly.
He grabbed her arm, desperate. "How much is the food? How many crystals does it cost?"
