4 hours later sasuke stood once again in the fourth floor, The past few hours had him locate and loot many useful things.
One of them being the time and date, 2010, june.
A whole 15 year back from what he last remember.
He didn't know exactly if this is his world even, he doubt it. Still this at least gave him some ideas about how long since the pandemic started.
2~3 months.
Which was both long and short depending on the subjectview.
But that wasn't the only thing, sasuke got a good haul, eliminating many zombies too which secured him a thrid thread of chakra. Still useless.
Unfortunately no survivors.
The most baffling situations were few zombies who are turned with no visible bits on them, not even a scratch.
they weren't rotten badly which made him inpect them and finding that.
From what he study along the way, those zombies were sensetive to sound most, and smell if you are close, they can see too which wasn't as strong as human's, you need to be in their direct line of sight for them to react.
Like every zombie story, he found bite marks on the all corpses, But the two other cases still made him wary.
He even wondered if water and such things were infrcted, or worse...air. and that's why they turned without being bit, everyone.
that shit worried him. But he found that there was no need to put so much concern.
Being tossed here just to die shortly due to something uncontrollable as air infection would be the greatest joke made by that crow.
Thus until now sasuke secured more than enough food to last 10 days, or more if he was careful with his consumption.
Although the quality of said food wasn't good, it was the only possible option.
Other than food and water he came acroos many things worth looting.
Weapons: knives, axes, and even a pistol with few bullets.
Tools: Crowbars, multi-tools, wire cutters, hammers, saws, wrenches, duct tapes, zip ties, utility shovels, hatchets, machete, fishing gear, can openers, ropes, clean water containers, Chains, padlocks, locking door knobs, barbecue grills, camping gear of all sorts,
Other miscilations: backpacks, prescription meds of all kinds especially pain killers, playing cards, alcohol, tobacco, condoms, flashlights, toothbrushes, hairbrush, nail clippers, tweezers, flosses, water filters, feminine hygiene items, salt, candles, cooking oil, socks, toilet papers, tylenol, books, lanterns, bug spray, sun block, lip balms, batteries, Rechargeable entertainment devices ...etc
And surprisingly Small generators, 2000 watts that use little fuel.
Thanks to his strorage seal sasuke focused solely on taking everything useful no matter how little it seems.
He doesn't have to worry about heavyweight thus he spent the four hours emptying every house on the first three floors of their worth.
But the situation changed once he started looking around the 4th floor, the two first rooms he already entered were looted, not his style of take'em all. But food, water, potential weapons and medecines were clearly taken.
And there were even two corpses of killed zombies on one apartment.
With the same injuries of the one he found on the previous opened apartment.
Whoever was here before cleared the two apartments.
Still sasuke wasn't really bothered as he kept stripping them bare of whatever worth was left on them.
He knows he will be leaving this place on the first chance, and thus he kept moving forward.
This complex was merely the beginning and he wanted to be able to help if he ever ran into survivors.
Ones who deserves to be helped. God knows he wanted a human presence in this kind of world.
Going back to the apartment that was open the first time he got down here he did a quick job of it after finding it looted too with the zombie still dead there and emerged from it after ten minutes heading to the last one of this floor.
Once again he tapped, and there when he heard it, a growl, but it never moved and sounded to be far from the door.
He tapped again and waited, yet to his surprise a voice called to him.
Dry, weak, so low he almost didn't heard it.
"W-who?"
'someone is in there' sasuke felt happy hearing something other than the annoying growls. Something alive.
"Hello, i'm a tenant in the 5 th floor, i secured the building from zombies and checked the apartments to this one" he spoke with clear voice trying to show that he isn't a danger, he knows trust in this kind of world was the thing that is hardest to gain, or to offer.
"Are you okay in there?" He called again.
There was a brief silence before the sound of small tapps closed in, steps he figured.
unbalanced and dragging. Either injured or too tired.
"No, i'm hungry, who are you...mister" this time it sounded from the other side of the door, still dry and low but sasuke heard it clearly, it was coming from someone young, probably a little girl.
"Hey, my name is sasuke, i have food and water on me, is there someone with you?" He knows there was a zombie inside, but since it didn't move close he figured it was trapped, otherwise the girl won't be talking now.
"I am ciri, my grandpa told us not to open the door to strangers, but i'm hungry and my sister is sick" sasuke heart clenched hearing the pain in her voice, she was struggling to even talk to him loud enough to be heard.
"He was right, your grandpa. but i promise i'm here to help, okay?, if there is someone older you can call them to talk to me. I will give you food and water, alright ciri?"
"It's only me awake here, i, i will open the door, but you won't hurt us right? Only villains do hurt little girls." Hearing that sasuke felt complicated, he was relieved the girl accepted his help, but also felt a sense of worry seeing her naive side.
With the sound of a click and creak the door opened with clear hesitant only a little for a small head to peek outside.
And as expected, sasuke saw a little girl around 8-10 years olds looking at him with curiousity and cautious.
Her hair was light blond, somehow dirty, her wide blue eyes were reddned and with dark circles and her face was a little pale, and her body looks way smaller than her age should be.
She was clearly weak and malnurished.
The sight in front of him twisted his guts, this world brought only terror and tragedies to the weak.
"Mr, sasuke?" "Yeah that's me" taking off his mask sasuke knelt down to her level showing a small smile and his empty hands not to make her fear him.
The girl looked somehow surprised seeing his face but she focused more hearing his next words.
"I have food in my backpack, i will give you now. You told me you have a sister and grandpa, do you need me to give food for them too?" Taking off the backpack he rammaged inside summoning a shocolate pack which was melt and bottle of water from his seal.
It's clearly that she needs energy before consuming any heavy food.
"Here" the girl's tired eyes lit seeing what he offered but she still hesitated before shaking her head muttering with little voice.
"Can you help my sister first please? She slept yesterday but didn't wake up, she only spoke a little early-morning before sleeping. Please help us"
"Alright, here take them first and let's go see your sister" she nodded taking the food before opening the door for him to enter.
The place inside was the cleanest so far, but it reeked with the smell of corpse, clearly from the one growling behind the room in the end of the hallway.
Following the girl to another room he saw her glancing briefly at the noise with pained expression before opening the door to the other room.
Sasuke was ready for anything behind the doors to keep them safe but his worries were uncalled for as he saw a figure laying on the bed, clearly human.
A young lady maybe two or three years older than the current him was sleeping on the bed, her expression was bad, with a glance sasuke figured that she passed out from exhaution.
"I need to examine her body to be sure what is wrong with her, is that okay?"
Ciri thought for a moment, eyes drifting between her sister and the handsome man before nodding, beautiful people won't hurt them, right?.
"Alright, sit there and eat those first, do it slowly okay" he told her before turning to the lady on the bed, removing the cover from her to look for injuries, and once he found none he checked her pulse and eyes.
' her heartbeat is weak, she passed from exhaution and hunger '
He look for his backpack, or more accurately ramaged mentally through his storage seal, unfortunately he didn't have in IV solution on him thus the only option was to make a serup solution from water and sugar before she was good enough to consume soldier pill.
If something was good about soldier pills then that would definitely be their efffectivness.
The energy they give is enough to sustain a body long enough for her to recover and start eating again.
With the solution ready he explained to the little girl what is he doing while holding the older one helping her sit supporting her neck with his arm before he started feeding her the drink pressing at pressure points to make her body react and swallow.
The lady looked almost like a woman he knows from his world, a famous actress.
Which made him ask the little girl about her name.
"She is katnis, and i am ciri everdeen, 9 years old" ciri smiled introducing herself, her compexion now a little better.
'yeah of course it's not her, there are many like-looking people anyway'
"Well nice to meet you ciri, i'm uchiha sasuke, 20 years old" sasuke smiled at her as he kept feeding her sister slowly, while he felt her about to regain her conciousness.
"Outchi...ha? Sasuke. this is the first time i heard a name like this"
"Mhm, uchiha, well it's because i'm not from here"
"Oh, can i ask from where?" She titled her head cutely enjoying the melted chocolat melted on her finger.
"Haha sure, japan. You know it?, i growed up there before moving here"
'bullshit, but since i took his identity i might as well use the country that introduced him, better have it clear from now for anyone asking me, no one would care to verify anyway, and it's 2010.'
"Ohh, i know japan, i love doraemon's cartoon and sister said it was made there. awesome!!" ciri nodded with amazed smile, clearly just happy to be talking to this kind man about her favorite cartoon.
Their conversation was cut by a cough from the older girl who opened her eyes and suddenly started struggling seeing an unfamiliar blurry man holding her in their bed.
" Katnis!" Ciri put her bottle down and run to her sister jumping at her bed before hugging her while sasuke finally calmed her down with words before backing away to show that he means no harm.
