Two weeks had passed since the day Ada left with the viruses, leaving behind some answers but also many questions
The first thing Allen did was return to the Takagi mansion, where he spent a week searching everywhere for supply crates.
This helped him gather many resources, and at the same time, they found more relatives, including Toshimi's uncles, Tsunoda's cousin, Yui's grandfather, and Teshima's younger brother.
In addition, thanks to Rika and the JSDF, Hirano was able to contact his parents and grandparents who lived abroad.
On the other hand, and unexpectedly, it was announced that evacuations would begin, so many survivors made an attempt to leave and reach the designated evacuation points.
A large part of this was due to Allen's tutorials, which taught survivors what not to do, how to defeat or avoid different types of zombies, and what to do in case of being bitten.
This gave the JSDF the confidence to begin evacuations and the survivors the confidence to come out of hiding.
During the first week, the most troublesome enemy he encountered was in a red zone whose main zombie was a Tier 4 chimera zombie named Bahamut. It had an appearance similar to a Defect but was stronger and capable of summoning other mutated zombies.
It was absurd, but Allen managed to win thanks to the enhancements of the Harran virus in his body and the special weapons he had been collecting—like a Star Wars lightsaber, something that simply didn't make sense in this world, yet there it was.
The rewards were equivalent to a thousand hearts, which allowed him to meet his goal of obtaining enough hearts to buy a refuge big enough for everyone.
The chosen place was a fortified ten-story building with a basement. It was located somewhat far from the Takagi mansion and closer to central Tokyo.
Allen chose it this way so he wouldn't have to compete with Soichiro for the remaining resources in Suginami.
The top three floors were used by Allen's group—the tenth floor exclusively for Allen and his "harem", the ninth for the remaining girls from Fujimi, and the seventh floor for the remaining men.
Of course, Allen planned to accept survivors into this refuge. After all, his plan was to keep obtaining hearts and buying more refuges to expand the size of his group. He would also see who was loyal enough to train and give special weapons to.
Allen knew Umbrella was a massive organization with a small army of agents and who-knows-how-many bio-weapons like Nemesis. Even if he was strong, there was no need to take the risk of facing Umbrella alone, so he decided to build his own organization.
Despite all the problems and complications, Allen spent most of his time with different girls, increasing his affection for them and vice versa.
....
Allen woke up in the morning in his room.
A new day, a new objective...
"Hm~"
The soft breathing of the beautiful woman in his arms made him smile.
It was none other than Saeko, who slept peacefully on his chest. In the end, the girls reached a consensus in which each one would give the others space to try to win Allen over. However, this plan seemed doomed to fail because the hostility between them slowly decreased.
Instead of competing, it seemed that they were getting used to living together in peace.
"How long do you plan to pretend you're asleep?"
Allen teased her, knowing Saeko had the habit of waking up very early just to watch him sleep until he woke up.
This could be disturbing to some, but considering Allen had women who had even stolen his clothes (Albedo/Aphrodite), this was quite normal.
Saeko opened her eyes, disappointed. "I really thought my technique had improved~"
"That's impossible." Allen brought his face close to Saeko's ear. "That's because you have the habit of drooling in your sleep."
Saeko blushed in embarrassment and tried to escape, but how could she get away from Allen? He didn't let her, and they rolled on the bed until she ended up underneath him.
There was a moment of silence before they kissed.
Kissing had become something common between them. A fondness that slowly turned into love, Saeko never tried to suppress those feelings. However, the only thing that had delayed the inevitable was that, like any girl in this world, she struggled to process what it meant to be with Allen.
Of course, Allen, being the bastard he was, slowly changed the mentality of these girls, and before they realized it, they had started to accept the idea—even if they didn't admit it.
Saeko's breathing began to quicken as her body heated up. She was a very perverted girl—she wasn't satisfied with just sleeping beside him, and many times her hands would slide under his clothes.
Allen didn't mind and never mentioned it, but it was obvious the girl desired his answer.
Allen kissed Saeko's neck, making her moan. Then he continued kissing her lower and lower until reaching her most intimate place.
Once Saeko reached the peak of happiness, she held Allen's face in her hands.
"Let me return the favor❤️"
Saeko proceeded to serve Allen the entire morning. Although they didn't go all the way, Saeko discovered a perverted side she didn't even know she had.
....
Allen left his room and went to get something to eat. He had transformed one of the rooms into a kitchen—these types of modifications in the refuge's structure were simple as long as he was willing to pay with Hearts.
In the kitchen, he was greeted by Yuuki wearing only an apron. She looked like a young wife trying to please her husband.
Allen never refused food on a tray, so he lifted Yuuki and placed her on the counter before kissing her. His hands explored her beautiful, soft body for ten minutes until Rei appeared wearing only a towel—it was obvious she had just showered.
The girl frowned when she saw Allen and Yuuki in such a compromising position, but she only huffed, opened the refrigerator, grabbed a thermos of water, and walked past them before leaving the kitchen.
Allen was surprised by this situation. All the girls usually showed jealousy when they saw him with another, but this time—even though she clearly wasn't happy—Rei didn't show hostility or disgust toward Yuuki.
[Congratulations, it seems your perverted dream is slowly becoming a reality. Soon they'll treat each other like sisters~]
Allen sighed, kissed Yuuki on the forehead, and went to look for Rei. He found her sitting, depressed, on the balcony.
Allen sat beside her and stayed by her side.
"I knew having you all to myself would be difficult..."
Allen smiled. "I'm sorry, I'm that kind of guy."
Rei wanted to get angry, call him a bastard, even slap him—but when she saw that smile, the desire vanished.
"You're a very greedy guy, you know?"
"Yeah, and you have no idea how much."
"Allen, let me ask you something. If you hadn't chosen this path and could only choose one of us, who would you have chosen?"
Rei regretted asking the moment the words left her mouth. Deep down she knew the answer—between Saya, Saeko, and herself, she had the lowest chances of being chosen.
"That won't happen..."
"If you don't want to answer, you don't have to—"
Before she could finish, Allen pulled her into his arms. Once she was there, he kissed her. The girl had no time to react before Allen's tongue entered her mouth—an intense and skillful kiss.
Her mind went blank as her entire face turned red.
This was different from every kiss Allen had given her before—this level of passion and skill melted her mind, a level she couldn't handle, and when she was about to faint he let her go.
"You said it yourself—I'm very greedy. When I even slightly like a girl, I can't help but desire her."
Shamelessly, Allen revealed his nature—the one that had led him to have such a large harem. He was passionate, greedy, had an easy time liking women, had a clear weakness for them, and only needed a little—just a little—interest in a girl to make him unable to let her go.
Rei gasped for air while her chest rose and fell in his arms. His firm embrace made his point clear—Allen would not let her go. No matter how many times the world reset, he would make sure every one of these girls ended up in his hands.
"I'm a pretty bad guy, a man who can't belong to just one woman. A bastard. A womanizer. However, despite my flaws, I make sure every woman at my side is happy—and that includes you."
"I..."
Allen didn't let her finish. He lifted her into his arms and carried her toward the room under Yuuki's gaze. The girl, clutching her apron, had seen and heard everything, and that declaration made her feel hot.
The door to a room closed, and soon Rei's cries of happiness could be heard. This time Allen wasn't gentle—he used the skills capable of pleasuring goddesses and succubi.
Rei lasted only ten minutes after experiencing Allen's true strength, realizing no woman could handle him alone. This calmed her because it gave her the perfect excuse to accept other women.
Yuuki timidly opened the door.
Allen smiled and invited her inside. Soon two girls were moaning in pleasure.
There was a third—Saya—who didn't dare to enter and only watched through the crack of the door. It was the second time she had seen a girl being devoured by Allen. Maybe she was developing some kind of fetish.
....
Half an hour passed before Allen finally stepped out of the room, only to find Saya sitting on the floor with an embarrassed look. Allen picked her up in his arms and carried her away so they could take a bath together.
"Wait! I didn't—!"
"Don't worry, we're only taking a bath."
Saya tried to break free, but it was useless.
"You expect me to believe that after seeing what you just did?!"
Allen gave her a shameless smile. "You don't have a choice, right?"
Saya blushed even more, but her proud Tsundere side quickly resurfaced.
"Hmph, do whatever you want. You're just a coward who wouldn't even lay a hand on me..."
With that sentence, Saya signed her own death sentence. Soon, sounds that would make even a seasoned woman of the night blush echoed from the bathroom. In the end, Allen kept his promise… although Saya wasn't sure if that was a good thing or just more torture, because he teased her and pushed her to the limit without giving her the final satisfaction she secretly craved.
...
Before heading out to gather more supply crates, Allen decided to take a walk around his building.
He took the elevator to the sixth floor. Once the doors opened, Allen noticed a complete change in the atmosphere.
The various rooms glowed with a purple hue, the signature lighting of ultraviolet lamps used for indoor plant cultivation.
This sixth floor was exactly that — a farming area for growing plants, fruits, and vegetables for human consumption.
Several drones hovered above, watering the crops, and there were also specialized robots harvesting produce.
Allen approached a small tree and picked an apple.
"Even if the seeds come from the system, it's incredible they grew in just a week..."
He ate the apple while walking to the end of the hallway, where a restricted area was located. Others weren't allowed inside, but of course, Allen could go wherever he wanted.
When he opened the door, he was hit by the strong fragrance of plants.
"Allen!"
Shizuka dropped what she was doing and ran toward him, jumping into his arms.
"Shizuka" Allen stroked the woman's head.
"Hehe~" Shizuka smiled. She was wearing a lab coat, being the person primarily in charge of supervising this floor — especially the restricted section.
Allen gave her a kiss that made her blush, but instead of stepping back, she clung to him even tighter.
"Only one?~"
"For now. I have to go out."
"Mou... fine, but tonight I want us to have dinner together~"
Allen accepted the proposal happily.
He hadn't fully decided yet, but he was leaning toward bringing the people of this world to his own. There were many reasons, but the main one was that he didn't have enough justification to leave them behind in a world where Japan had become a zombie paradise.
But that was something he needed to think over more carefully. He also wanted to discuss it with his dolls and girls before revealing the truth to the women of this world.
Realistically, it was inevitable — at some point, Allen would have to reveal who he truly was to those closest to him. After that, he'd see how they reacted and act accordingly.
As Allen held Shizuka, he heard the system's voice.
[Perhaps you should wait to tell them everything until the next time you return. This world isn't finished yet. You'll understand better once you visit the store again.]
'True... I should go.'
The system had been insisting that Allen needed to visit the store for an update. However, before searching for one, he had wanted to prioritize securing enough hearts for a refuge first; otherwise, he would constantly worry about danger zones appearing out of nowhere.
Everyone had special weapons, everyone had defensive clothing, but a single Tier 4 zombie could obliterate most of his group without him present.
Now that he had a safe place, he could finally look for the store.
Allen spent a bit more time with Shizuka before heading to the fifth floor, where the warehouse was located. It was managed jointly by Yuriko and Kyoko. Both women handled inventory, divided rations, and listed necessary supplies.
They both greeted Allen warmly. Because of their relationship, Kyoko kissed Allen to welcome him.
Perhaps thinking it would be amusing, Yuriko did the same — though she only kissed his cheek. This left Yuriko embarrassed afterward, realizing she might have gone too far. Naturally, Allen teased her for it, making her pout — something that, if Saya saw, would make her jaw hit the floor.
Kyoko was shocked by witnessing this. She always thought Yuriko had chosen to follow Allen's group after leaving Soichiro because of Saya… but apparently that wasn't the case.
Was this woman interested in her own son-in-law?!
Allen spent some time there before leaving.
The fourth floor was the armory, administered by Anemone, Asami, and Kiriko. Although it was currently only a weapon storage area, they planned to eventually implement a reward system for survivors.
Allen finished his tour of the building and left the place in his Hayabusa to look for a store.
....
(A couple of hours later.)
Allen landed on the ground after jumping from the third floor.
"Rahhh!"
Right behind him, a Tank burst through the wall.
This monstrous creature, with terrifying strength capable of destroying everything in its path, chased him relentlessly.
Allen drew Ivory and Ebony before smiling with a wild glint in his eyes.
Ivory fired with a blue flash. The bullets struck the Tank and, surprisingly, its body began freezing as if sprayed with liquid nitrogen.
Ebony followed, its red-glowing bullets melting through the Tank's flesh rapidly until reaching bone.
[Ivory: +10 Attack, +15 Penetration, +10 Frost Damage, Special Ability (Freezing), +150% Critical Chance, +50% Critical Damage.]
[Ebony: +15 Attack, +10 Penetration, +10 Fire Damage, Special Ability (Thermite), +50% Critical Chance, +150% Critical Damage.]
Allen had managed to obtain many weapons, but — just like with his abilities in other worlds — he preferred quality over quantity. So he focused his resources on his two pistols, turning them into terrifying weapons.
At this point, Allen no longer feared Tanks.
The monster roared as the thermite reached temperatures hot enough to melt steel like butter, while the frost capable of freezing molecules shredded its body.
"Rah... ahh..."
Still filled with fury, the Tank extended its massive hand to reach Allen, but it failed and collapsed.
Allen observed the creature for a moment before summoning his motorcycle and heading toward the store.
Upon arriving, he was pleasantly surprised to find all his dolls waiting for him. While some jumped into his arms, others mocked him for not missing them due to being surrounded by so many girls in this world.
[Congratulations. The First Zombie Apocalypse has been completed. Chat is back online, the world has opened, restriction barriers have been lifted, and you have a "gift/reward" from Lucifer.]
Despite the notification, Allen focused only on his dolls. Only three weeks had passed since they last saw each other, yet it felt like much longer.
