The Soul System in the Apocalypse-Chapter 59: Strange Zombie
Chapter 59: Strange Zombie
"Hey, you cannot say that! I was of course thinking about our own safety here, and that is the reason why I attacked. Besides, I was going to be ’lenient’ in my attacks!" Adam retorted as he looked at Olivia.
Had it not been for the fact that she was stronger than him, he would have already battered her. But for now, all he could use were words.
"Not like we can trust a berserker to be able to land gentle attacks on an opponent." Olivia stated dismissively as she focused on Henry who had already moved towards the pool of blood that which was oozing from the three zombies that had been melted.
Henry was trying to look if there was any mutation crystal present. Even though it was true that in the system, he did not possess the offer to purchase things at a lower price, still, he was sure that the mutation crystals were very important.
Using his sword, he begun stirring the blood pool as he looked for a mutation crystal. And not long after, he finally found one. But no matter how much he looked, he could not find anything else.
’Strange. It seems that the zombies don’t guarantee a drop in the mutation crystals.’ Henry talked to himself as he picked up the mutation crystal.
’System, can I sell the bodies of the zombies to the system store?’ Henry asked curiously.
[Absolutely not. Even though it is true that the system can sell anything, that doesn’t mean that the system can purchase anything.]
’It seems that I will have to be hunting monsters more often. At least, a single monster can give me two mutation crystals, unlike the zombies that don’t guarantee a drop in the mutation crystals, and neither can their bodies be sold to the system store.’ Henry thought once again.
After that, the group of five finally began moving towards the city. Any zombie that they met with, they easily rip it into pieces.
It was also during this moment that Henry suddenly realized that, the improvement of the energy present in his body had gone up, during the time that he started killing the zombies.
Although he could not understand if it was due to the fact that zombies provided more energy, or it was due to the fact that the real apocalypse had descended.
"Aaah! Help me!"
"Get off me you!"
"No...no! Don’t eat me! Don’t you remember the time that we spent together?"
As they moved, they encountered several people that were being chased by zombies. Others were being eaten alive, while others simply tried to futilely fight against a group of zombies.
But still, nobody in the group made a move. To them, there was no need of taking a burden. Even though it was true that the most important resource in the apocalypse were actually humans, still, they wanted those that could be useful, and not those that could only leech from them.
They only made a move if a zombie attacked them. Since the mutation crystal drop wasn’t guaranteed, and it was actually having a low drop rate, Henry wasn’t that much into killing the zombies.
After reaching a clear place, Henry finally took out the Jeep that he had stored in the idle space.
The group had already gotten used to the fact that Henry would take things out of nowhere, so, they were not much surprised when they saw the Jeep appearing. After all, they saw him making it disappear.
The group got Into the Jeep, as Henry opened the compartment for the wolf. At this moment, both Sarah and Adam had already reached level 8. It was just that Adam was very close to level 9, while Sarah had just got into level 8.
While Henry and Olivia had already reached level 9. Nonetheless, they still didn’t understand what was required for them to be able to reach the next rank.
They had already tried killing many monsters, but none of that worked. As for buying information from the system, that was something that Henry had attempted, he however found out that he could actually not afford the price.
To purchase information about ranking up, he had to spend five level one bronze rank mutation crystals. But, that was something that he did not possess. With the offer from the system ending, the prices of almost everything in the system store had risen up drastically.
As he drove the Jeep, it was obvious that they were attacked. However, thankfully, not only did the Jeep possess incredible speed, but it also possessed both her defensive and attacking systems.
Although it was only for level 9 Rank O and below, none of the zombies that they encountered had passed that level. Additionally, due to the fact that the Jeep was using a special type of energy that had been provided by the system, it wasn’t making loud engine noise.
Consequently, the zombies that they attracted were the ones that had seen them, rather than heard them.
Olivia continue to point towards a certain direction, as Henry continued to drive. They had to ensure that they had gotten a safe place, before finally making arrangements on what will be the next move.
On the other hand, driving was getting quite difficult due to the fact that the roads was congested. Cars had been left on the road by the drivers who were running away from the monsters that were attacking previously.
Because Henry didn’t want to attract a large number of zombies towards them, he had been trying to avoid making loud noises. Otherwise, he would have simply knocked the cars that were in the way to the side using the Jeep.
Finally, after taking several detours, the Jeep stopped in front of a three-story building. The surrounding areas did not have many zombies, as this was considered the least populated area in the city.
Additionally, the noises that were being made at the center of the city had attracted a large number of zombies from this area.
"This is the house that we lived in when we came to Crystal City." Olivia stated as the group alighted from the car.
Not long afterwards, Henry did as usual. Since he wasn’t sure about the situation here, he stored the Jeep back into the idle space.
Olivia led the way towards the three story building. Since she didn’t carry the keys when she was kidnapped, Olivia simply used the hilt of the sword to destroy the lock.
Clank! Bang!
Just after she opened the door, the group suddenly felt the ground behind them shaking. And when they looked back, they suddenly realized that there was a zombie that had actually landed from a building not far away from them.
Additionally, this zombie was different from all the other zombies that they had encountered so far. Not only was the body that the zombie possessed huge and musculine, but the color of the eyes was also grey unlike the usual red eyes.
Additionally, the pressure that was being emitted by the zombie that had appeared was denser as compared to the other zombies.
And as it stared at them, the group suddenly noticed that unlike the other zombies that were completely mindless, this zombie was actually scrutinizing them. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Had it been any of the zombies that they had encountered before, it would have already attacked them fatuously.
Both Henry and Olivia narrowed their eyes. At this moment, they felt that there was danger coming from the creature in front of them. And, this was completely different from the time that they had faced the two-headed wolf.
Although the two-headed wolf was actually two levels above them, the danger signal that they were receiving at that moment was not as intense as the one that they are receiving now.
That implied that the creature in front of them definitely possessed the abilities to deal with them.
As for Sarah and Adam, the two of them were also feeling immense pressure coming from the creature in front of them. And had it not been for the fact that they had gotten graded professions, the pressure would have already suffocated them.
"We need to work together again." Olivia said with narrowed eyes as she focused on the zombie in front of her. This feeling of danger was something that she never liked.
Since she always wanted to be at the top, there was no way that she would like to encounter something that could threaten her life. But of course Henry was an exception. And at least, they were also at the same level and allies.
"No need to remind me about that." Henry replied as he signaled for the wolf to get ready. At this moment, the wolf was already a level nine creature.
For that reason, due to the sense of danger that he was detecting from the creature in front of him, Henry had decided to go all out.
"You two should be ready for the zombies that will be attracted here. I’m sure that this fight is going to produce a lot of noise." Henry stated as he looked at Adam and Sarah.
Even though the two of them really wanted to help in the fight, they knew that the capabilities that they possessed were not enough. Therefore, they could only agree to deal with the zombies that will be attracted there.
Roar!
It was also at this moment that the zombie had finished scrutinizing the group. And, it charged forward at an incredible speed, unexpected of a creature with such a massive body size.
