Chapter 388 Long Lodge Shelter
Although the Talents they have weren't that amazing considering their low rating, they could still be helpful in some way.
Shane gently nodded as he confirmed that these girls could contribute a lot, especially once they got integrated into a shelter. With their skills and Talent, it wouldn't be difficult to accept them in his territory.
Finally, the woman with dark skin and braided hair spoke. "I'm Nia. My Talent is Enhanced Strength and it's a Master grade Talent... Supposedly, I can lift and carry heavy objects with ease, but I was injected by one of the alchemists of this Clan, and my Strength Stat became terrible... Anyway, my Survivor Skills are all combat-related except for Engineering Skill I got from a Silver Treasure Chest."
Shane frowned as he heard about the injection that Nia received.
"Nia, can you tell me more about your situation?" Shane asked.
"Yes… I'm currently level 16 and I should have 95 Points in my Strength."
"That's a lot…" Shane muttered after calculating the amount she should only have at that level.
Apparently, she should only have 25 points at Level 16.
'Interesting…'
As Shane was guessing in his mind what she could've done to get that much, Nia decided to explain herself...
"Yes… With my Enhanced Strength Talent, I get a stronger body, and every time I level up, I will have additional Strength Points. It is random and could be from 3 points to 15 points. However, my Agility increase would be three times slower. At this time, my Strength is only 10 Points because of that injection I received…" Nia explained.
"So it was like that… You're actually really strong. No wonder they decided to do that to you." Shane muttered as he realized why they had injected something to weaken her body.
With this Talent, she must be stronger than the previous Clan Leader of the Mystic Mirage Clan.
"I'll do something about your current situation…" Shane muttered as he recalled that his Blood Alchemy Book had a potion that required Flesh Puker Zombie's Blood.
The skill was called Body Rejuvenation Skill and he believed that it might be able to help with Nia's current problem.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Thank you, Sir Shane…" Nia said. Her voice was filled with gratitude as she could only pray that this mysterious person who could annihilate a huge clan alone would really be able to help her situation.
If he really did that, Nia would surely do anything he wanted… Furthermore, if she recovered, she knew that she would be able to assist Shane even more.
"Alright… Thank you for being honest with me. Your Talents and Skills are impressive… For now, let's focus on getting out of here safely and finding a more secure location. Ahh… Let's try to loot this place before leaving…"
The women nodded in agreement, knowing that searching for valuables was essential.

After some time, Shane, along with the five girls he had rescued, made their way back to where Lysandra and the escorts from Ivory Gear Shelter were waiting.
As they left the ruined shelter of the Mystic Mirage Clan, Shane began to explain their situation to the five.
"We were being escorted by Captain Wei and his team to the next Neutral Shelter called Long Lodge Shelter…" Shane said as he began explaining his plan.
Well, he was planning to create another shelter in Sector 20. With that in mind, Shane wanted to bring these girls with him as pioneers of that new shelter.
Loreen and the others also shared some interesting information with him. Apparently, during the Boss Raid Event, the five of them were lucky enough to be grouped with some strong Survivors and managed to clear two Stages in the process. Of course, it means that they obtained the SWAT Uniform as well.
However, as they returned tied up in the warehouse, that set was taken away from them after being threatened.
Shane could only promise them that they would surely not receive such treatment as long as they don't betray him.
It took their group longer since they all had bad Agility Points, but Shane had messaged Lysandra already and informed her that they were returning.
[ Lysandra: You captured some of them? ]
[ Shane: No… I rescued their prisoners… I'll explain later. ]
After this conversation, Lysandra informed Captain Wei about Shane's message since the man was already getting restless.
Soon, as Shane's group approached, Lysandra and the others noticed the five stunning women accompanying Shane. They were all quite beautiful.
Lysandra's eyes squinted as she immediately made some guesses about their real situation as "prisoners" in that Clan.
On the other hand, Captain Wei and his team exchanged puzzled glances.
"It's a long story," Shane said, anticipating their questions.
"But just know that I saved them from the Mystic Mirage Clan that blocked us. Let's continue to the Long Lodge Shelter now."
Shane said as he decided to explain their situation while they were moving…
As the group set off, spending the next couple of days navigating the treacherous terrain, everyone had already gotten to know each other and Captain Wei and the others even felt some desire to join Shane's plan to build his own shelter in a different region.
After all, they knew how rich and strong he was. He could even pull out items that were a lot more advanced than the ones in the Ivory Gear Shelter.
However, they were also indebted to Lord Kang Zhen and could not leave him at this moment.
Anyway, during this time, their group encountered various types of zombies: Runner Zombies, Walker Zombies, Jumper Zombies, and occasional Crusher Zombies.
They weren't as threatening with their current group as they managed to kill them all without taking casualties or any injuries at all.
On the next day in the evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, they finally spotted the Long Lodge Shelter.
"Finally!" Captain Wei couldn't help but celebrate as he finally completed another difficult mission.
