Wasteland Conqueror

Chapter 11: Night Time Exploration

Later that night.

*Awahaa*

Ahh, that was a great sleep. Time to get up and see if I can't get my hands on either a couple of books with useful information or one of my parents' laptops. But before I do any of that, let me get a lay of the land since I've yet to explore the entirety of my home yet.

With me just awakening from my nap and more than excited to begin learning, I did several stretches to warm up my muscles to get them prepared for the stealthy night mission ahead. There was no way I was going to risk getting caught roaming around the house at night due to a muscle cramping up on me even though I've never experienced even one cramp since I've been reborn here but there's no reason to leave it to chance.

Okay, muscles nice and warmed up, let's explore.

Ready to go I made my way over to my crib's wall, jumped up, grabbed onto the top of the crib's rail, and put some strength into my little but increasingly stronger baby arms, hoisting myself up and over the crib's railing. After I landed without issue on my bedroom's floor, I speedily scurried over to the door while making minimal noise due to my new stealth skills and extremely light, almost nonexistent weight.

The moment I got to the door, I concentrated and used my very high perception to see if I could detect either of my parents with my hearing as well as my pseudo perception field.

Mmm, the coast seems to be clear, but just in case, let me crack the door open a smidge and take a peek to make sure that neither of them are down the hall.

Being as cautious as possible, I slowly cracked my bedroom's door just enough for me to look around the general vicinity of the hallway. And with my enhanced eyesight that is leagues above what I had in previous life, I looked around for a brief couple of seconds before I opened the door even further to look down the hallway in the direction of my parents' bedroom.

No lights on, sweet. They must be sleeping, however, since I've yet to make sure of that I'll still remain cautious and aware of my surroundings as I explore until I've located both of them.

Continuing to be extra cautious, I stealthily made my way out of my room and silently headed down the hallway. The instant I arrived at my parents' bedroom, I paused for a couple of seconds to see if I could detect them within their room. As I was doing that, my dad Robert rounded the corner down the hall while yawning and holding a drink in his hand.

Shit, I need to hide.

Not wanting to get caught out of my room this late at night and possibly having to deal with a baby monitor installed in my room as a repercussion for my nighttime stroll, I quickly hid and crouched down next to a piece of furniture located opposite of their bedroom in the hallway blending in decently well with the darkness.

The seconds passed by while I waited for my dad to return to his bedroom and as soon as I heard a click from the door's handle I popped my small head out to check whether my mom was in the room or if I was going to have to stealthily roam our home, top to bottom till I figured out her whereabouts. But luckily the instant I did, I spotted her in bed sleeping peacefully and a few seconds later my dad shut the door, leaving me in the clear.

Phew, she's sleeping. Now that I know where both of them are, I can get back to it and explore the house in its entirety.

Aware of the location of both of my parents, I quietly came out of my hiding place and continued on my way down the hall. Once I was a good bit of distance away from their room, I picked up my pace and started exploring.

After reaching the end of the hallway, I walked over to the door at the end and attempted to open it and, following a small click, I got it open and looked inside to see what was in there. What I found was a large room that appeared to be set up as an office.
