14 Search for Survivors (2/2)
Meanwhile, Luna set the EXP he got, to be evenly shared between the group. Although Boni and the rest were killing zombies as well, it wouldn't nearly be as fast as the Luna-Sura duo mowing down zombies with their capabilities. The goal was simple, Luna didn't want to baby sit them all the time, so he wanted the rest of the team to hit level 10 as soon as possible.
This would help decrease the chances of anyone dying or getting infected, drastically.
The plan was going smoothly, they had found survivors, and after explaining to the general state of the world, and about the <Nation> system and what would be required of them, the survivors knew this was the best, if not the only way for survival. Although Luna's home was quite large, it was not enough to accommodate more than 30 people.
By the end of the day, their group went up to 25 people. It was still quite worrisome, it seems the Philippines really got hit hard, with the apocalypse starting at 3AM in the morning, even with the booming voice heralding the arrival of the zombies, people who were asleep and got woken up, were still groggy, thus reducing the amount of inital survivors even more.
As for the other reason, it was most likely because they had already flocked to the Government Center evacuation area. They went ahead and leveled the new members of the <Sovereign Nation> to 10, in anticipation of the fight for their <Territory>.
Once that was taken care of, Luna switched his EXP sharing back to just him, and proceeded to keep grinding.
After several hours of grinding, it was starting to get late, but just as he was planning to leave, he noticed a man and woman wearing a lab coat, making a break for it and running towards them, ”Help! Please help us!”.
Right behind them, there was a hulking zombie, twice the height and body mass of an evolved zombie. It didn't take a rocket scientist to guess that this was probably a new, further evolved variant.
”Perfect.” Luna said, he had been itching to really find out the capabilities of his new body, as even the evolved zombies posed no threat to him anymore.
”You two! Stay with her!” Pointing to Sura, the two immediately followed his instructions.
Gripping his blades tightly, Luna tapped his feet once and immediately disappeared from the spot he was in. The two people wearing lab coats were stunned. Where did he go?
They looked towards the hulking zombie variant and noticed Luna had already appeared beneath it, and slashed at it's legs. With how thick it was, Luna honestly only expected him and his newfound strength to cut at most, halfway through it's thick calves, he had targeted this spot specifically because it was to test his strength, or else slashing behind the knee would be more effective. Much to his surprise, he cut through it cleanly.
The variant lost it's balance and fell over, what was more shocking, was that the muscle fibers were like worms, as if looking for the lost part that got.
Luna didn't give it any more chances to recover, going straight for it's head, with that zombie dead, an orb which was visibly more dense, entered Luna's body.
<Congratulations! You have reached level 20!>
After receiving that notification, new information flooded in Luna's mind. As he quickly skimmed through them, a huge smile started forming on his face.
