Chapter 18: Half-Step Zombies (1/2)

Sneaking to the guard that have a shotgun strapped on its neck, Nile could not help but felt nervous. For some reason, he is a little uneasy and he could feel tension around the air.

As he gets closer and closer, the uneasy and tension feel he got just gets getting stronger and stronger.

And as he was making a step to get in a meter distance from the zombie guard.

It suddenly turned its body sideways and made a swiping motion with its arm towards Nile's direction, his head exactly.

Nile's eyes immediately bulge, and with reflex, he duck and made a swiping-upward motion with his butcher knife, even if the butcher knife is dulled and is no longer sharp, with his 4.9 body strength it still easily slash the arm clean, at above elbow length.

After the swiping-upward motion, he make a step and while doing so, he twisted his hand from above and made butcher knife descend, the descending butcher knife landed on the zombie guard's head, cleaving it cleanly until it arrive at the zombie guards chin.

On Nile's perspective, he could see the head of the guard split, a moment after the butcher knife descended. And for a split second, he saw the greenish substance that is the dead A.V. now.

Although he felt gross again seeing the head getting split, Nile manage to keep himself calm.

Well, the other zombies around him started jogging towards his direction after all, he could not afford to be careless.

Just like the zombie guard from before, these zombies are no longer like the zombies that he killed earlier, as these zombies movement clearly surpassed them.

Now, these zombies are swiping their arm towards him, unlike the previous zombies that will only want to bite him. This zombies are clearly smarter and more ferocious.

These zombies, seems to have finish hibernating, but for some reason, is till quite weak.

That is why he felt uneasy earlier, it turns out that these zombies have already finished hibernating. They will only need to consume some A.V. and just like him, they will then mutate into a Level One°.

They even lured him on approaching. Well, there intelligent is still not sufficient to be compared to normal humans. But this will still pose a problem, to normal human of course.

But for Nile that is already on the verge of breaking through to Level One°, heh, not a problem at all.

The tension he got earlier disappeared as he cleared the confusion on his mind. Along with these are the severed limbs of the zombies swiping their arm towards him.

And sometimes, some zombies will fell to ground with their head sometimes in half, sometimes, its missing the other half of the head.

As he cleared the zombies around him and their numbers getting thinner and thinner, he felt a little exhaustion wash over him. Glancing at his energy stat, he notice that he currently have half of his base energy stat.

As he could no longer get stronger from these weak A.V., the System make that portion, into something that replenish his energy.
