Chapter 15 Floor 64 Cleared
I then put one skill point in Inspect and one in the new skill, Time Storage, however I saw that I could not add skill points to Time Storage. There was no option for it.
'Even though there is a level… interesting,' I thought before looking at the other skill.
[Inspect (Level 2)
Effect: Allows the user to see the stats of the objects and people around him
Skill points required to upgrade the skill: 2]
Nothing changed other than the level and amount of skill points required to upgrade it. Now to check its effect on others,
[E-Grade Zombie: A Zombie who has devoured other Lesser zombie's Cessation Energy and has evolved to become stronger than its predecessors.
Status: Dead]
Both the zombies had the same information displayed, and I saw the effect of the level 2 Inspect skill. I tried focusing on the zombie, trying to see the difference between them and the lesser E-Grade zombies as I moved closer to them.
"Michael?" I turned to find Caroline peeking through the door gap before slowly entering the room.
I turned to look at the E-Grade zombie, but I did not find any major difference between this one and the ones I had killed before.
'Is there something on the inside of these that makes them different from the others?' I observed it more deeply and.
[Zombie Core not found]
'Hmm?!!' taken aback, I looked at that message again. 'Zombie core? What's that now?' I thought as I kept observing the message before someone touched my shoulders.
"What-"
"Whoa!!!" I almost stabbed Coraline before stopping myself as I caught my breath and glared at her before asking,"what?"
She took a step back and looked at me with slight fear before turning at those dead zombies and asking,"are they dead?"
"Nah! They just decided to take a nap." I looked at Caroline with a slightly annoyed gaze before sighing and then moving away from there to search this apartment. Caroline, who was standing there with a half blank expression, suddenly snapped out of her stupor before hurriedly following me outside of that room.
[Kitchen Knife: An ordinary knife that has enough sharpness to cut through vegetables and fruits. At max, it can inflict a direct stab but can't tear through flesh deep enough.
Weapon Type: Slashing/ Stabbing/ Throwing
Attack: 8
Defense: 1
Durability: 34/60]
I checked through most of my weapons one by one and almost all of them were similar. I looked around to see if there was anything else I can use in this apartment, but unfortunately nothing useful was present.
After this, I dropped some heavy objects from the balcony to the ground floor to increase my Exp. Once I was done with this, I came out of the apartment and proceeded towards the emergency exit. I noticed that there was a shadow present there, which was continuously moving back and forth.
I turned around to see Caroline standing behind me without making any sound. I saw that she too noticed that shadow and her eyes were equally curious about it as I was.
Was it a zombie? Or another real person?
Though as I moved forward, I saw it was a zombie who was continuously hitting the wall without any pause.
[Lesser E-Grade Zombified Human: A human who almost won over the zombie genes, but in the end lost his sanity before breaking both the zombie genes and his own genes.
Reward: +200 Exp]
My expression turned serious as I observed the message and I couldn't help but gulp looking at that zombie constantly banging its head on the wall. I then sighed before moving closer to him and
-Slash!
-Slash
[Ding!]
[You have killed a Lesser E-Grade Zombified Human!]
[+200 Exp!]
I wasn't happy with what I just did… for some reason; it did not feel like I was killing a zombie, but a patient who has lost mental stability. My eyes turned solemn as I joined my hands and silently prayed for him.
Caroline was confused at my actions but she did not ask any questions and simply followed my actions and prayed beside me.
[Side Quest!]
[Clear all the Floors of Libra Building: 1/70]
[Reward:
(1) Dungeon Key (Silver Rank) x 3
(2) +10,000 Exp
(3) Random Skill upgrade]
I looked at the message, before pondering about the things I had known about dungeons and stuff. From what I know, it is a place filled with monsters along with treasure, isn't it? Will it be worth the danger? Though… the rewards alone make it worth it to finish this side quest, I suppose.
My eyes looked at that message again for a few moments before I spoke up,"Hey Caroline, what do you think about going up?" and Caroline slightly tilted her head before speaking,"weren't you the one who said we won't go up no matter what?"
I shook my head,"Ah! No, I meant we won't take help from anyone military related. As for going up, I am just thinking that there could be some survivors up there and if we could save them, our chances of surviving would increase, no?"
As she heard my words, her eyes lit up before she nodded. She then looked at me with a dazzled expression, as if she were looking at a hero or something. I could only turn my head away from her with slight awkwardness… don't look at me like that… I am not that much of a kind-hearted guy…
"Well then. Let's go up," I spoke before moving towards the emergency exit and slowly opening the door. The door opened with a creaking sound and I looked both up and down the stairs before moving into the stairway.
Luckily, there were no zombies, and I turned to Caroline, nodding at her, before she came in as well. We both slowly moved up and reached the 65th floor where as soon as I reached, another side quest was issued.
[Side Quest!]
[Kill all the Zombies on the Floor:
Lesser E-Grade Zombie: 13
E-Grade Zombie: 3
Reward: +1 Skill point]
'Well, that's not a lot of skill points for that many zombies, but at least it is better than nothing,' I thought before wondering about something.
How come my floor had 50+ zombies, but this one has only 16?
