Free Web NovelChapter 77: Planning to Escape
From Theodore’s observations, the people referred to by Cassian had already left the mall area; it seemed they thought that Cassian and the others were dead because the zombies had filled the mall.
Since the zombies had already entered the mall, there were only a few outside, at least not as many as when they had just arrived.
With such a situation, Theodore thought it would be easy for them to return to their truck. Especially with the help that Cassian and his group would provide, which increased the chances of them getting out of there with all the iron and metal they found.
"Should we break it down now?" Roderick spoke from behind Theodore.
"Are Cassian and his group done with all the iron and metal on the first floor?" While speaking, Theodore also turned to Roderick.
"It’ll be done soon. We can do it now," Roderick said, eager to leave this mall.
"Well, if you say so," Theodore replied, nodding slowly.
So Theodore and the others found a window near their truck, given that they were currently on the second floor, so they could observe the surroundings and the current state of the truck.
Somehow, the bad guys that Cassian had mentioned didn’t take their truck parked in front of the mall building.
To get out, Theodore needed to break this window, which Roderick wanted him to do. Since Theodore required more power, he checked his status before smashing the window.
Theodore also used some of his attribute points to increase his STR attribute. For now, Theodore needed strength, so he needed to add it; after all, he had a lot of unused attribute points.
Not only adding to his STR attribute, Theodore also allocated his attribute points to his AGI and INT attributes. Theodore wished he could use magic as soon as possible so he would invest his mana early.

When looking at his current status, Theodore was quite satisfied when he saw it; with his current strength, he was sure he could easily break this window; of course, he was very confident at this time.
Theodore put his sword into his backpack and placed it on the floor. Slowly, he grasped the iron trellis on the window with both hands. He also exerted all his strength to remove the trellis from the window.
The veins on Theodore’s temples began to show. The edges of the iron trellis slowly began to stretch, and Theodore pulled the iron trellis even harder.
There was a loud sound when Theodore managed to remove the trellis from the window, and sweat was dripping down his face. Theodore slowly placed the trellis that he pulled onto a nearby wall.
"Oh my! You actually managed to remove that trellis!" Roderick and the others who saw the scene were dumbfounded by what Theodore had done.
While Theodore didn’t have the energy to respond to their words, he preferred to sit down and lean his back against the wall. He felt almost all his strength was gone after successfully pulling the trellis off the window.
"It’s almost night, gather everyone." Theodore immediately sent Roderick and the others away. He needed time to catch his breath.
"Take it easy. You can leave it to me!" The excited Roderick immediately left there to gather everyone.
When everyone had left, and only himself was left, Theodore took a bottle of mineral water from the sacred dimension. In the void appeared a mineral water bottle in Theodore’s previously empty hand.
"It’s a pity that I can only take things from the sacred dimension when there are no people like this," Theodore muttered while unscrewing the mineral water bottle cap.
Just as Theodore thought he was alone there, he heard a sound not far from where he was.
When Theodore looked up, he met a pair of clear blue eyes that looked at him in shock. Meanwhile, Theodore looked at the woman in horror, not expecting anyone to be there.
"You-"
Theodore’s speech was interrupted when he saw the woman running away with shuffling steps. It could be seen that the woman was injured.
Theodore’s mind immediately went to the woman who had been stabbed by the sharp object they had rescued when they arrived at the mall.
"Bastard! Why did I get caught by that woman!" Theodore ruffled his hair in frustration. Suddenly, he didn’t feel tired anymore.
Theodore quickly got up from his position and promptly left there. He needed to catch up with that woman and tell her not to say anything about his sacred dimension. It would be wrong if the fact about his power was known by others.
"Theodore! I’ve gathered them all. We’d better hurry up and discuss the plan." Suddenly, Roderick appeared out of nowhere and intercepted Theodore in the middle of the road.
It felt like Theodore wanted to curse Roderick, but what could he do but follow him? For now, Theodore should focus on discussing their escape plan from inside this mall.
When Theodore arrived at where they were gathered, he could clearly see that the woman who saw him earlier was indeed there and was even sitting next to Cassian.
For a while, Theodore looked at her. He wanted to tell her to shut up and not divulge what she had seen earlier. If only he could do hypnosis, then he would hypnotize her and ask her to forget what she had seen!
