After moving from one place to another, Akira and Saeko, separated from Saya and her group for over a week, are now well-prepared.
They now have more supplies and are better prepared, supported by Akira's special powers.
This makes their journey through the city much safer.
Of course, during this process, Akira also allows Saeko to fully unleash her inner demons.
This is based on the fact that Saeko needs an outlet to slowly regain control of herself, and this can only be achieved by exterminating as many zombies as possible.
Fortunately, after several days of clearing zombies from the places they visit,
Saeko's condition improves significantly, and Saeko, realizing this, is naturally very happy because, fundamentally, she is.
Her current partner, Akira, does not resent the cruel actions she has committed.
Previously, Saeko had always tried to control the bloodlust and revenge that welled up inside her.
This was because she feared that those closest to her and those who knew her would think she was strange and shun her.
And if that happened, Saeko felt she would become a much sadder person than she had been through.
So, she had always buried this dark side within her, not letting anyone know about it.
Until, when the zombie apocalypse struck worldwide, and Saeko, who had initially intended only to defend herself by defeating the zombies, realized that there was a sense of joy that came from actually destroying the zombies, especially when she saw the black blood stains scattered after her sharp slashes.
It wasn't the disgust a woman typically feels when witnessing such a tragic and cruel sight, but rather a sense of satisfaction and relief that somehow brought her to an inexplicable feeling.
Then, meeting Akira and his acceptance of her made Saeko excited, and she subconsciously tried to open up to him more.
To this day, she has slowly gained control of these feelings.
And calmly, fully revealing her true nature to those she loves.
As for Akira, they were separated from Saya's group for over a week due to Saeko's presence. He didn't fully reveal his abilities to her.
But he gradually revealed them to Saeko about his abilities.
Akira chose this because he felt that giving Saeko so much information might not be a good thing for either of them.
This was because the protection they could currently provide was still very limited; its space couldn't hold living creatures, only inanimate objects.
On the other hand, his abilities were far superior to those of many humans, but faced with bullets, missiles, and other deadly weapons.
He clearly still had room to expand, so Akira simply explained that he possessed a limited-space storage ability.
To store the valuables they found, after all, if he wanted to enjoy a good life in this world, he needed to tell Saeko about the existence of this space.
So, one day, Akira revealed to Saeko that he had suddenly awakened an extraordinary ability.
He could store many items in his space, but the amount was limited because his space was only the size of a house.
On the other hand, if he wanted to increase his space, Akira told Saeko that they would have to kill and hunt many zombies.
The more zombies they hunted, the more space they would have.
Upon hearing Akira's good news, Saeko was initially surprised and delighted by Akira's ability.
But then she realized that there was a hidden danger behind Akira's ability.
If other people or organizations knew about Akira's abilities, wouldn't he be in danger? So, to ensure their safety, the two agreed to keep it a secret.
Laying down, Akira checked his current status.

"So far, I've managed to upgrade my space to level 3, and there's a bonus upgrade for Zombies. By exchanging 300 regular Zombies, I'll get one zombie with the power equivalent to a low-level demon.
And now, with over 3,500 zombies in my space, I can get 10 low-level demon zombies.
This is definitely a great improvement, but I also realize that I still have too few zombies with low demonic power levels.
Only by acquiring a sufficient number can I ensure my safety significantly.
So, right now, my priority remains gathering as many zombies as possible in this city, and then moving to other cities to continue harvesting them.
On the other hand, my space has also increased tenfold, making logistics much better.
The more space I have, the more items I can store in my space.
Storing a lot of stuff isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Then, the range of my space has increased from about 20 meters to 50 meters.
And another important thing is that it seems I've successfully influenced the storyline of this world by 5%, and the system's target is 20%.
Before I can move to another world.
Even so, I feel like it's time to trade zombies for low-level demonic power. The fox system... "3,000 regular zombies with 10 low-level demon zombies," Akira then commanded the system.
[Zombies enhanced...
Zombies now have the strength of low-level demons...
Congratulations, your zombies are now equal to low-level demons...]
In Akira's mind, he could now see 10 zombies, consisting of 5 men and 5 women, who had completely transformed.
They no longer looked like the scary zombies they once were, but now the zombies in his space had been enhanced to resemble low-level demons.
They had the appearance of ordinary humans, with the only striking difference being their eyes, which appeared to have red pupils.
The rest of their skin, nails, teeth, and expressions were all like normal people. Another thing, Akira was informed by the system notification, was that the zombies could not speak at their current level.
