Chapter 204: 201. High alert skill
Dexter was amazed by the new environment he found himself in. With every camp he went to, he always had to protect the people around him, and he smiled as he now knew that everyone in this current camp could take care of themselves.
They had to give the man at the reception 20,000 Heaven's Tower points just for one room, and they decided to get a big one and multiple foams.
"This place is amazing!" Tracy couldn't help but comment out loud as she stared at the shops set up in different locations.
"If what Jack said was true, then most people in this camp have surpassed seventh class. It's like a whole army in here," Dexter said as he gazed around the surroundings.
He even spotted a place where monster meat was sold, and he smiled.
"I want meat," a voice rang in Dexter's mind, and he gritted his teeth.
'Grim, you ungrateful horse. You just finished eating that whole sixth-class wolf, and you're still hungry?' Dexter asked with gritted teeth as he looked forward to see a tall building made out of a material he didn't recognize.
"I need meat to evolve again," Grim said, making Dexter sigh as he entered the building.
The path they followed was very narrow, with a ladder at the end which went upwards. Dexter guessed that there were rooms on each side. He climbed up to see himself in an empty space.
The room was quite big and would contain them all. He smiled as he helped his mother up the ladder.
At least the space was big. Dexter heaved a heavy breath and sat on the floor, and then a foam peeked out of the ladder door.
Tracy pulled the first one up and then pulled two more up. They were given a total of three foams, and they lay the foams on the ground and relaxed.
There were a lot of things he needed to settle, the first being a weapon to replace the one that was snapped by a certain creature.
'Claws aren't very effective against large-sized creatures. But it's sharp since it gets harder the stronger I become. The only weapon I've seen that evolved like that was the spirit guard that I gave... Hannah.'
Dexter closed his eyes as he recalled what happened, and his heart quivered a bit.
Jane sat on a bed and recalled the past few days. It was a chore searching for Dexter after they left the previous camp. Although her skills mostly specialized in cooking, as that was what she found herself doing in the former camp, she was also a level 20 human who was about to enter the seventh class.
She looked at her son and saw him closing his eyes while breathing slowly, and she remembered what Kila told her a few days back.
- Dexter is no longer human. To survive in the apocalypse, he had to become something else, a vampire. -
She imagined the things Dexter had to go through by himself, and now he wasn't even allowed to be with the one he loves.
She could only lie down on the bed to take a nap while the others settled down.

Dexter looked at the fact that he could now evolve after defeating the ground hound, which was the wolf he fought a while ago.
Not only did he level up twice, but the amount of Heaven's Tower points he received was astronomical.
He earned over 5 million points just from a single second-class creature, and it made him smile.
Apart from that, he got two other items.
A stone appeared in Dexter's hand which had a green gem embedded in it, and then Dexter looked into the description.
[High alert (passive skill): The ground hounds have extremely high senses, able to sense every creature which has its attention on them. You will now be able to sense danger and also living beings focusing on you. You will always be alerted when a hostile creature is nearby.]
[Break the stone to receive the skill.]
Dexter nodded as he saw that and then he broke the stone, which then turned into dust, and he saw that his status was updated with the new passive skill in his skill list.
While he was busy sorting out his skills, Lily looked at him with a sad face as she wanted to go back out and train to grow stronger faster.
Tracy got on the bed to take a nap, and Kila transformed into a bat and hung on the ceiling before wrapping herself with her wings.
Dexter pulled out the second item he got and then he looked at Kila.
*'Hey, Kila. I'm going to head to Heaven's Tower to get a few things,'* he said to her through telepathy, and she opened her eyes.
*'Oh, okay then. If you don't mind, you could get me a strong weapon, something that cuts deep,'* she said before she flew down and landed on his arm.
[You have received 1,250,000 Heaven's Tower points from Kila.]
Dexter nodded to her, and he held a golden ticket in his hand. He asked Lily the same thing, and she gave him all her points for him to get her something too.
[Do you wish to visit Heaven's Tower?]
[Yes] | [No]
Dexter tapped on yes, and then he lay down on a bed and felt himself floating. He opened his eyes to see his body below, and he braced himself for what was coming next.
He was suddenly shot out of the building, flying upwards towards space, and then he furrowed his brows.
He could see hundreds of twinkling stars in space, and before he could take the scene in, his spirit was forced towards the sun. He closed his eyes and blocked them with his arm as he blocked the light.
Dexter opened his eyes and saw that he was on a familiar golden bridge leading to the tall and imposing tower, and he sighed as he walked forward.
It's time to go shopping for resources.
