Into the Zombie World

Chapter 172 - New Source

Ever since he became a Level Two° human, he still hasn't asked the System about a Level Two° human's limit. 

A normal human can have a maximum of 4.9 as their stats. Entering the 5.0 stats means they have already surpassed the human's barrier and become a Level One°. A Level One° human can then raise their stats to 14.9 by consuming and absorbing Apocalypse Viruses from the zombie's heads.

A Level One° human means their Will or the guard for their brain had already become stronger. It would already be hard for the zombies to infect them. 

Entering Level One° means a human already has an Apocalypse Virus inside them, the only difference is that in the zombie's case, the apocalypse virus is the one controlling the human body while on the other hand, humans use the apocalypse virus as a tonic to increase their strength. 

Entering the 15.0 means a human had already surpassed Level One° and had now entered Level Two°. At this point, their strength had more than doubled, along with the sturdiness of their body.

Consuming low-level apocalypse virus would no longer give them a rise in strength. They need to consume Level Two° Apocalypse Viruses or even higher to increase their stats points at this point. 

However, every successful absorption of a whole Level Two° Apocalypse Virus would also mean a high increase in their strength. 

It was the goal of the Pangea Government to create a drug or virus that could make their people into supersoldiers. 

The human body was what limited humans to become the supersoldiers that the government desired. Hence the creation of the project. To let the human body withstand super weapons and any ailments that struck them. 

However, it backfired, causing for the creation of this strange virus that controlled the bodies of the infected. 

Fortunately, it was not the end as the virus still retained its function. To strengthen the bodies of humans. 

Those who manage to survive the initial outbreak and become a Level One° had already started to strengthen their body. 

At Level Two°, every apocalypse virus consumed means an increase in body strength. At this point, a Level Two° human's body had already started to have metallic properties. 

After asking the System about the upper limit of the Level Two° it instantly replied to him. 

[Answering the Host, the upper stats limit of a Level Two° human is 34.9. Any further than that means the human or any other being had already become a Level Three°.]

'My current stats are at 25 plus points. I'm 10 points away from leaving Level Two°. A Level Two° zombie gives me 1 stats points, it means that I only need to kill 10 more Level Two° zombies or a total of 200 Level One° zombie.' 

'If only there's an unlimited amount of zombies it's really not a problem for me to constantly level up. However, a town with level two zombies around also means that there are significantly lower amounts of level ones present. It looks like upgrading to Level Three° isn't as easy as I thought.'

'It's a good thing that I have found another source for increasing my strength. Aside from searching for zombies, it looks like I also need to watch out for hybrids. Even though they only give half, it's better than nothing.'

After a while of pondering, the hybrids had finally entered his sights. 

There were seven of them in total and after inspecting them with the stats function, all of them seemed to be only in the middle of being a Level One°, except for the bearded hybrid man in the middle who's stats is already approaching 14.9.

He was just about to stand up to dash towards them when the bearded hybrid in the middle hurriedly retreated before shouting in fright. "RUN!!!"

His companions were confused for a second.

Aren't we here because we heard fighting noises?

Now that we're here, there's even a human that we could hunt.

Why are you asking us to retreat?

Was our captain this time a wimp?

Confusion was apparent on their face as they stared at their escaping captain. However, it didn't take long for them to realize that his actions were the right one. 

As the moment they turned their heads for a second, two of their mate's heads suddenly got impaled by two flying swords. 

One fell to the ground with a crying face, while the other fell with a smile plastered on his face.

Instantly, all of the hairs on their body stood erect in fright and fear. 

Throwing strength capable of piercing a Level One° hybrid's head during the night?

That's definitely a Level Two° human.

RUN!

Instantly, at the same moment that the lifeless body of their companion fell to the ground, they also hurriedly turned around to escape. 

However, it was also at that moment that Nile arrived at their side. 

Seeing Nile arrive beside him, the hybrid wanted to shout something.

"No- warkk."

However, his words were cut short as a blade was suddenly plunged to his mouth, piercing through his skull, killing him in an instant. 

Seeing another companion down, terror filled the remaining hybrid's heart, as they stared at the ferocious monster who had now pulled his dagger from their companion's mouth. 

Even still, they didn't stop for a second, trying their best to escape from the monster's grasp.

They felt happy that it was not them who got targeted first. They also hope that they won't be the next target. 

They have already created a distance of more than a meter from him, they thought they were already safe. The monster behind them was still occupied after all.

However, what they didn't know was that at their back, the two swords that impaled the head of their two hybrid companions had disappeared all of a sudden. In an instant, the two swords reappeared on Nile's hand, along with two red glows surfacing on it.

In an instant, two of the escaping hybrids got pierced by two flying swords.
