Into the Zombie World

Chapter 12 - Zombie Levels

He woke up early in the morning when the sun lighted his face. Considering the sun's height, he estimated that it should already be past 7.

Walking into the window, Nile notices that the five remaining zombies are scattered again throughout the road. He notices that one of the zombies outside is no longer walking without aim, instead, it is now standing still in the middle of the road. It looks like it will finish its hibernation period soon.

He also concluded that the previous teller zombie was already at the edge of its hibernation period. As it is clearly stronger and faster than the rest, the Apocalypse Virus inside it must also be stronger. Maybe a day more and the Apocalypse Virus will wake up and will be in full control of the body. Sadly for it, it was already dead and instead of its hibernating period ending, its life was the one that got ended.

But Nile was not worried, his status was already back to normal, his body point and energy point was already back to full. 

And he knows that this will not be the end. After collecting Apocalypse Virus, his Body, Energy and 'Will' points will continue to grow. If he did his best, he was confident that he could kill those zombies quite easily. He doesn't have any experience fighting, but with simple swings and jabs, he should be able to do it, somehow. 

He was confident that he could kill the zombies outside as they are still also at Level Zero. Level Zero zombies still have their Apocalypse Virus hibernating inside them so they only move with instinct.

Yesterday the System also introduced to him the various Levels of Zombies.

Level Zero° - Still at hibernating period. The body will only move on the instinct that is given by the A.V.

Level One° - Finished hibernating, stronger than average human. Will search for weaker Apocalypse Virus to consume. Normal bullets will have a low effect on these kinds of zombies.

Level Two° - Has already consumed enough Apocalypse Virus and has already mutated into a sturdier body. Normal bullets will no longer be able to pierce its body and have certain resistance into stronger bullets.

Level Three° - Bullets no longer have any effect, only bombs can damage this kind of zombie.

The System also noted that even on the same Level, there are certain zombies that are stronger than the others on the same level. There are also different types of zombies and their strength may vary depending on what type of zombie they are.

For example, Speed Type Zombies, these are the zombies that after reaching Level Two, instead of enhancing its strength it decided to enhance its swiftness or speed instead. These zombies have thinner builds compared to other zombies. 

The Zombies that have enhanced their strength are called Strength Type Zombies, these zombies have bigger physiques and will look like those bodybuilders in Nile's previous world. 

The Zombie that had destroyed a tank before must be a Level Three° strength type zombie, Nile thought.

The zombie side was clearly stronger than the human side. Their mutations are quite fast. This must be the real reason why the government was helpless. 

Right now, the other people must have already built some defense that can resist the stronger zombies. They must have already built the so-called stronghold by now.

Nile also has this gut feeling that the release of the second 'Cure' virus was clearly intentional, he also has this guess that the government already knew the effect of the two viruses combined and they were just acting dumb about it. However, they might not have expected the fast growth mutation of the Apocalypse Virus, making them helpless. 

'I mean, who would release a cure that was not tested right?' But because the System was the one who said that, he finally puts that matter at the back of his head.

What he needs to focus right now is on how to kill the zombies outside, efficiently one by one. He is not crazy enough to think that because he already has a System means he was already invincible, he will be in the 'future' yes, but now, he knows that gaining strength requires process.

'It's better to be safe than sorry. Prevention is better than cure after all. Hehe'

Previously, he abandoned the idea of going into the councilors office because he thought that because of the System weapon store, he will no longer have to search for one. But after knowing that his strength and his measly Apocalypse Point are not enough yet. He decided to go back with his original plan. And that was to go into the councilors house and search for the hidden gun.

  But now the plan is slightly or you could say, hugely altered. Instead of avoiding the zombies, he will now confront and kill them, sneakily though.
