It took Bobby another hour before he felt ready to explore and leave the relative safety of the boy's restroom. His only weapon at the moment is his makeshift spear but he felt relatively confident that he can deal with one or two of those things. His major fear is getting surrounded though, so he move very slow and quiet. Just to make sure he will be the one to first notice someone before they notice him.


Before he left the restroom, he notices something shiny in the dusty remains of the infected he killed. When they first charged him, he thought that they reminded him of those infected in the movie "28 days later" and the name stuck to him without him even realizing. The shiny thing turned out to be gold pieces. They were the exact size of a casino chip but far heavier. He found 5 gold pieces in the 3 infected he killed. 


Besides that, he also receives a book. A skill book. He was just looking at the dust when a small blue book emerges out of it. The title said, "Skill book: Combat Throw." The moment he touches it, a blue screen pop in his vision.

Bobby hesitated for a second, then shrug. He tap Y and the book disintegrated into blue light. He himself glowed blue for a second then it was all over.


He tap his chest and touch his face. Nothing seems to be different. But when he look at his character screen and in the skill category, the skill "COMBAT THROW" is indeed listed there. He read the description:

Bobby put one point of his skill points in combat throw and then close the window.


He remembered that he is in the fourth floor of the 5 story engineering building. Each floor except the lobby has 5 classrooms that are big enough to house 50 or more students for the lecture.


It was sheer luck that when those jellyfish attack. No, I mean 'soulpods'. The 4th floor had just finished its class minutes ago and only a few people are staying in that floor.
