God of Time System: Harem in the Zombie Apocalypse

6 Level 2

-Rwar!!

The two zombies charged at me at the same time, and instinctively, I pushed my body diagonally in the gap between both of them. I barely dodged them, and not wasting my time to see where they were, I ran into my room.

While I was slow because of my weak body, the zombies weren't exactly fast either. I decided to go to my brother's room, hoping I could find something there.

-Rwar!

Though, my second neighbor, also a zombie now, graced me with his presence at my room's entrance. I immediately turned towards my bathroom and ran inside before closing the door and falling on the ground immediately.

"Huff… Huff… Huff… Huff…"

All this running and freaking out is not something that I was used to, even during my college days. The fact that I was still able to squeeze out energy and not fall down unconscious was a miracle in itself.

"So… Huff… Huff… what now?" I asked as I found myself trapped in my own bathroom, no weapon and no food supplies. All I had was a place to sh*t and a small window that allowed some air for ventilation.

And also some…

Realizing something, I immediately turned to my status, which was barely visible for a few moments, and became more translucent than before.

'Can I somehow survive 2 hours? This is… I don't know. Let's see if there is anything I can use here.'

Inspecting around, I saw a mirror, the toilet, a shaving kit, a water heater…

-Bang!

'Thanks! The background music was all I needed right now,' I sighed before concentrating again on my surroundings before slowly standing up.

The bathroom was small and, looking at it properly; I thought of a certain idea. I first emptied the water heater of its contents in the bucket… since it was an electric heater made up of aluminum, it had some durability.

I then tilted the water heater on its side and placed it between the door and the opposite wall. Though the water heater filled the area with its top towards the gate and the bottom legs towards the wall, there was still some gap between the wall and the legs.

I then used the wooden bathing stool and carefully placed it between the door and the top of the bathtub before finally breathing out loud. It might not last forever but 2 hours… I think that should be barely feasible.

I then searched my shaving kit and took out the shaving knife from it. While it may not be strong at all… it was still better than nothing.

And then I just sat there on the floor, before filling the mug with the water I took out from the electric heater. While I can't guarantee myself of its purity, it was still significantly better than the tap water.

'Just what am I doing?'

My eyes were sombre. I have HIV for god's sake. I shouldn't be drinking this water at all… I wanted to cry at this moment… will this even work?

I closed my eyes and then…

-Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!

It tasted bad. Maybe it was because I thought it was dirty or perhaps it really was, but it did not taste good at all. I even wanted to vomit it all out at once, but for survival's sake, I kept it in.

[Drink water: 500/2000 milliliters]

-Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!

After emptying out the jug, the status screen lit up as…

[Ding!]

[Drink Water: 2/2 L complete]

[+5 Exp]

As soon as I saw the message, I began vomiting out the water I had just drunk. It took some time, maybe 15 minutes or something, but I kept vomiting until there was nothing left. After vomiting everything, I finally felt a little relaxed.

The nauseating feeling was still there, but it was much better than before.

[Level 1: (65/100 Exp)]

As for the other daily missions, I did not have much energy left. I couldn't even bring myself to move another inch, so I just lay there as the zombies kept banging on the door incessantly.

All I hoped was for the time to pass…

I saw that the daily quest text changing slightly from day to night as

I then sighed a little before closing my eyes for a few moments… and when I opened them back up
