Chapter 29 How To Kill Zombies!!
Looking at the horde of zombies trying to break through the barricade placed on the 38th floor we moved back up a floor. If we wanted to go down, we needed a plan and honestly, looking at that System's message where we needed to fight over a thousand zombies I was somewhat at a loss.
"We need a really solid, foolproof plan here," I muttered before I sat on the floor and began pondering. As for Caroline, Alex and White, they let me do the thinking part here and just waited for me to give them orders.
I looked at my System to look for something, anything that I can use and after looking through it carefully,
[Title Activated:
Zombie Destroyer: When fighting more than 25 zombies at once. All strikes would become 100% more powerful.]
I then decided to use Temporal deceleration, the only skill I can use in combat right now. I had two extra Stat Points which I decided to put in the Constitution, bringing it up to 9.
Even though we have over a thousand zombies, they are below the 35th floor. The current number of zombies that we need to deal with are actually just 47, which really isn't that much.
"Okay, so here, there is one thing we can do," I muttered as I opened my eyes and turned at the trio, who were observing me with a serious look.
"I will attract as many zombies as I can while killing a few of them, while you guys try to take the remaining ones down from behind. Since they are slow, and most of us aren't really normal either, I think we could clear the zombies if we execute it properly," I explained it word by word and though they were skeptical about this, the fact that both Carolina and Alex were basically super human, it made them believe that we can do it.
I myself wasn't normal either, while White was simply hiding his strength for reasons known only to him.
Still, they asked me a couple of times if this would work and I nodded with a serious look. Honestly, in reality, I wanted to kill the zombies all by myself and also test my newly upgraded skills. Especially the maxed out Temporal Deceleration.
A few moments later,
I was moving towards the horde of zombies trying to break the barricade placed on the opposite side and I smiled a little before moving towards them, one step at a time. A few of them darted towards me and as they reached a few meters away from me
[Temporal Deceleration!]
Instead of using it at max, I use it at 75%, spending 20 Time Points per sec. With this I can use the skill for 25 seconds normally; If I add the Passive Time Regeneration that gets me 5 TP/sec, I think I can use it for 7 seconds more, making it a total of 32 seconds.
Time slowed down and, to be honest, it felt like the zombies were just standing there, barely showing any movements. I smiled before slashing one of them with the knife I had before moving to another and then to another….
They were all E-Grade but unlike last time, the kitchen knife didn't break but easily cut through the zombies… perhaps it was the Zombie Destroyer Title?
[E- Grade Zombie Killed!]
[+50 Exp] x 47
Before I knew it, I had already killed 47 zombies even before 32 seconds were up. I just simply turned off the skill and checked up on my status.

I tried to see through the barricade of tables, chairs and other heavy objects, but didn't find anything through them. Still, rather than moving back up, I first checked something else that I was thinking about.
[Daily Quests]
[Push up: 1000 Reward: +500 Exp]
[Sit ups: 1000 Reward: +500 Exp]
[Run 100 miles Reward: +500 Exp]
[Pull ups: 1000 Reward: +500 Exp]
[Bonus for completing all Daily quests: +1 Random Stat]
After the System upgrade, these were the new daily quests I got. Hmmm…. I guess I could do some of them on occasions. While doing 1000 of them sounds hard… let's see it when I have time.
After that I searched for any zombie cores but didn't find any, so I moved up a floor, slowly reaching Caroline and the others who were anxiously waiting for me to come.
Watching me moving towards them, without any scratch, they sighed before Caroline spoke,"are you okay? What happened?"
"I killed all of them," I spoke with a bit of an awkward smile and they observed me dumbfoundedly before Caroline asked again,"ah! Sorry, I didn't quite catch that… Can you repeat what you just said?" and I repeat what I just said before.
Rather than asking me anything further, Alex moved down to the floor and the old man, White, followed him as well. I, along with Caroline, slowly walked down towards the floor where the dead bodies of all the zombies were lying all around.
I just explained to them that it wasn't that hard when the zombies were slow, but still everyone just looked at me as if I were a monster. The old man then sighed as he muttered in disbelief,"I must be really getting old."
While Alex's eyes gradually started beaming, as if he were looking at someone really cool.
"I thought you were just a boring guy who is a nerd buried under the books and will probably die first but… killing all those zombies in such a short time….that was so cool!" he spoke with a bright expression and I smacked his head lightly.
"What do you mean by die first?" I glared at him, but he didn't seem to mind as he just chuckled, sticking his tongue out. The old man then questioned,"so we crossed this bridge. What next?"
