Chapter 32: 32. One-sided massacre
Dexter sighed tiredly as he walked towards the entrance of the camp. The men there who were shooting noticed him and his shiny outfit.
"Is he also part of the exploration team?"
"I've seen him a few times with captain Laurence."
"Why is he still moving forward?"
"Those zombies are going to rip him apart."
Dexter didn't say anything and continued walking towards the horde of zombies while yawning.
"Cease fire!" A voice came from behind them and they saw that it was the guy that went to call the exploration team.
"Where's the exploration team? The zombies are closing in!" The soldiers panicked.
"T–they sent only this guy." After the reply, all the men turned to look at Dexter who was still not holding a weapon.
'With more than 70 Agility points, I can dodge their claws and bite with ease. So there's no need to use a weapon.' Dexter thought.
The growls of the zombies grew louder as their teeth gnashed and their claws clashed.
Dexter suddenly dashed towards the zombies with his full speed, shocking the onlookers as he crossed ten metres in a second.
The first zombie that he was confronted with recieved an uppercut. The zombie's teeth broke as both upper and lower jaw clashed before the zombie was thrown towards a tall building and crashed into it.
"Huh. Just little stat points boosted my power so much." He said as he sped towards the nearest zombie, smashing it's face in with a punch that sent it flying into other zombies.
He then continued to attack the zombies one by one. His movements were fluid. He spun in the air and kicked a zombie sideways, causing a building to crumble as the zombie broke through it.
All the soldiers were looking at him in shock.
"Is... is he still human?"
"How can he be so strong?"
"So this is the power that courage can get you."
"Yeah, if I had the courage to not fear the bite, I would be out there right now with him."
All the soldiers looked at Dexter with reverence.
At this moment, all the zombies stopped running towards the camp and all of them charged towards Dexter from every direction.
Dexter smirked as he dashed towards one direction with his fists ready to smash into a zombie.
Blue lightning suddenly covered his fist and as he punched the zombie, the Lightning transferred and connected to all the ones closeby, roasting them with the lightning.
All the attacks lunged at him were dodged effortlessly as he mercilessly killed all the zombies, even ripping some apart with his bare hands.
"Fuck! One of those monster zombies came with them!"
"What's going to happen now?"
"Can he take it?"
"He... should we call for backup?"
The soldiers said in fear as they looked ahead at the incoming creature.
Dexter turned around as he heard heavy footsteps behind him and there he saw a big zombie. This one was a monster zombie. It was twice as tall as him and it was obese. With a large stomach.
Something was even more freaky; it had a mouth in its stomach with tons of sharp teeth within which made Dexter cringe.
*ROAARRR!!*
It roared loudly, noticing the human in front of it and it charged towards Dexter with its arms spread out sideways, revealing its monstrous, long claws.
Each of its claws were thirty centimeters long and looked shiny, unlike the other zombies'. It's face was also disgusting as it had only one eye on one side of its face and it looked like the other side was melted off.
'There's no way I'm letting you come close to me. Freak.' Dexter punched the air in front of him and the air moved, visibly forming a transparent hand which flew towards the zombie with great speed, hitting it in its stomach and sending it backwards.
"Woah. What did he do?"
"He didn't even touch it and it flew backwards."
"His power resembles that of Beatrice."
The soldiers were mesmerized by the battle in front of them.
Dexter didn't even let the monster near him as he sent a fury of pulse blasts at the creature.
'This force release skill is great. One problem is that it isn't penetrating the creature.' Dexter thought as he sent another round of attacks to the creature. But just like the others, the attack failed to penetrate it.
Dexter smirked as he has been wanting to try something out.
He summoned his spear and he looked towards the enraged monster zombie which was charging at him with its disgusting self.
Dexter moved one of his legs backwards as he prepared to throw his spear vertically.
He suddenly furrowed his brows as lightning began to surround the spear, coiling around like snakes.
"He didn't pull out a spear before!"
"Where did the spear come from?"
"He might be skilled with it."
"The monster is already getting close!!"
...
Dexter focused as he added lightning to his spear. The streaks of lightning danced around the spear like snakes as he prepared a finishing attack.
"Hm." He launched the spear with a grunt.
Before the spear fully left his hand, he used one more skill.
'Force release!'
The spear instantly passed the monster zombie which was over 50 metres away from him in a second, creating a hole in its stomach-mouth and electricity which lingered in its body sparked once in a while.
The broken down car behind the zombie was blown up by Dexter's spear and he smiled.
[Congratulations on creating a fifth class skill, lightning Bullet spear.]
He didn't seem to notice the skill he got as he was busy looking at the zombie with a gaping hole in its stomach and he ran past it to retrieve his spear from a far away building. With his speed, it didn't take him too much time to run over 100 metres to retrieve it.
The soldiers were speechless at the battle. They stared at Dexter who dismissed his spear as he walked past the slaughter ground.
Dexter stopped again as his vision began flashing red again.
'Damn. Not again. I need some kind of blood storage.' He thought as he grabbed two zombies and ran into a nearby building.
The soldiers didn't pay much attention to it and looked at the gun in his hand and remembered the spear wielded by Dexter.
"I still think I'll stick to being a shooter. I'm already level 2, maybe I can reach this guy in a week." One of the soldiers said and the others just smiled and nodded in agreement.
None of them had the courage Dexter had... or is it the determination.
Determination to survive and grow stronger after seeing what was waiting for them in the forest.
