37 Waking Up! (1/2)
Almost five hours later, Leo and Alex finally arrived just outside Buckingham Palace.
Leo then got down from the vehicle followed by Alex.
When Leo opened the Map, he surprisingly found out that there seems to be someone inside fighting a mutated monster when he saw that the dot is far more bigger than the red dots signifying zombies.
”Interesting” Leo said and then he looked at Alex behind him and commanded ”Alex, you can go ahead first and look for that treasured vault that Isaac told us”
Yes! The reason that Leo even delayed upgrading his Stronghold was because this treasured vault hidden around the palace. It was something Isaac told him when he heard him worrying about money at which Isaac told him about this information he heard from his friend who ”worked” at the palace due to drunkenness during a night out with friends, even though it confused him a lot of why Leo would even need money that just became a mere scrap of paper now.
”Now then, it seems their fight is already over as the life signal of that mutated beast already disappeared. I really want to meet this person who's able to kill a mutated beast and possibly even recruiting him” Leo said smiling as he swiped his hand away as they map disappeared on the air before he stored the vehicle back into his Inventory and entered the palace through the already destroyed gate, with the place practically littered with corpses of people and zombified humans and behind him are burning vehicles and buildings, the smoke almost covering the blue skies.
And surprisingly, Leo was not wearing his Armor, he already decided that he won't be using it unless his life is being threatened, like a wave of zombies surrounding him from all sides or just hostile humans who wants to kill him and plunder his things...and maybe his two wives too?
The reason behind it? It's because he's not stupid enough to think that the Armor would be able to protect him forever, the armor might looked overpowered right now during the early post apocalyptic period but in the later period, it wouldn't be an impossibility to say that its usefulness would decrease a lot during that time. Of course, Leo does not think that the armor would become useless by then because that possibility is practically low, not even one percent.
After all this is just baseless assumptions of him, it just because he's not stupid enough to think that he's very strong right now, he knows that he's just a paper tiger without donning his armor. He might have superhuman abilities with a cheat on top of that but what he lacks the most right now is battle experience, that's also the reason why he bought a few skills from the system for offensive, defensive, support and passive abilities and he also discovered in surprised that passive skills has levels unlike active skills that don't generally levels up.
But there is one thing that he knows for sure, right now humanity might be on the verge of extinction but he sure hell knows that they would also go through the process of evolution, probably not right now but maybe sooner or later, as even the mosquitoes and cockroaches are still the same as of right now.
That time when humans finally evolves, their strength would probably be around the stats of a normal Level 3 unlike Leo who had absurd stats due to his Title but even then, a human gaining evolution would probably just occur in one among a ten million population.
Arriving at a blasted hole along the wall of the palace…
Leo donned his Armor for safety, after all the direction he's going is the place where the person who managed to kill a mutated beast is at and with that person's skill, killing Leo might be impossible if he just escape from him but a direct confrontation is something he does want to occur, he might be able to kill him really easily if he depends on his equipment but without it, he's just sending himself to death even with an absurd high stats just because of his lack of battle experience. After all, until now, he just smashed any obstacles on his way with sheer brute force.
Arriving at his destination, he was actually got startled when he find out the headless corpse of the mutated beast but it wasn't the beast that surprised him but instead the numbers floating above the dead corpse.
[Level 10 - Mutated Rabid Dog] (Dead)
When Leo saw it, his pupils constricted in surprised as he didn't expect that the mutated that got killed was Level 10, even though it's easy for him to kill something of these level but a human without an absurd strength like him would just get themselves killed facing it.
