[New Skill Acquired: Active Time Regeneration]
I tried seeing what the skill was, but because of the skills' tab still being locked, I couldn't find out exactly what it does.
Then I pondered about what to do with the Stat points.
'Agility should help me run away from the zombies but… I doubt I will be able to do it if I were to be completely surrounded by zombies. As for Health, even though I want it more, I doubt being healthy anymore than I am right now would be useful.'
[12 minutes 23 seconds]
I kept pondering while checking the time every 5 minutes before finally deciding to put the 2 stat points in Strength. I am betting my chances on kicking my way out of here. Once I was done with that, I moved a bit away from the door and checked the timer again
[24 seconds]
I then proceeded to position the shaving knife in a proper position and waited for them to burst through the door.
-Bang!
-Bang!
-Bang!
The time kept ticking, and I silently waited for them to break the door.
[4 seconds]
I used my ability again and gulped a little before
-BANG!!!
The door broke from the top and I saw the hand of one of the zombies flailing trying to get in. I didn't make a move yet as I waited for them to break the door a bit more.
-BANG!!
They hurriedly started trying to get inside the bathroom through the gap, created after the door was partially broken. I kept myself still and at a distance, waiting for my chance to attack.
I saw them breaking more and more of the door and then I finally saw one of them just about to break in and…
-RWAR!!!!
"YAAAA!!!" I shouted as I proceeded to stab it in its head using the shaving knife
-Stab!!
[Ding!]
[Killed a Lesser E-Grade Zombie]
[+20 Exp gained]
The message began floating, but I immediately pushed the dead zombie's body outside, causing the other zombies behind to fall down. I ran through them like crazy and reached outside my room, before looking on the right side, towards the living room.
'Brother's room or kitchen? Brother's room could have something, while the kitchen is sure to have another knife within the cupboard,' I thought as I finally decided to move towards my little brother's room.
-Bang!
-Bang!
-Bang!
The zombies were still in the guest room and if they saw me; I doubt I could take on that many zombies at once, so my brother's room was better for many reasons.
I immediately ran towards my brother's room and opened it as fast as I could.
-Click!
-Bam!
Entering the room, I hurriedly closed the door behind me.
"Huff… Huff… Huff… " I caught my breath before looking at that side mission that I was ignoring up until now.
[Quests: Side Quests
Save the Survivor Trapped in the Guest Room
Reward: Inspect (Skill)]
Call me inhumane, but honestly, I was more interested in the skill than the survivor itself.
At first, I thought about leaving it and focusing on getting out of here, but now that I have already reached level 3, I wondered if I could reach level 5 and take my chances of saving whoever that person is.
It doesn't seem as impossible right now to be honest… just that I lack time. Even if the zombies don't get to that person, if I take too much time, the hunger and thirst might kill him.
'Though how much to next level?' I thought as I checked status
[Level 3 (255/500Exp)]
'If I keep surviving the zombies for about 10 hours… the survivor might die by then. My only choice is to kill them. I already dealt with 3 zombies, so that leaves about 9 more. Hmmm… that should get me about 180 Exp and adding a few others… Hmmm.. is there any other way of getting Exp?'
"Hey! Wait a sec!" I suddenly thought of something
-Bang!
-Bang!
-Bang!
"I said f*cking wait a sec!" I annoyingly shouted before checking how long the door can hold out for
[2 hours 24 minutes]
'Hmmm… this door is stronger than mine, eh?' I thought before shaking my head and immediately moving towards the balcony. Outside the balcony, the same disastrous scene as before was in view.
My eyes then looked down, and a grin formed on my face. I was lucky, because my brother's balcony was aligned exactly in the same line as that of the entrance of the building and the entrance…
It was crawling with zombies.
I then moved back into the room, trying to look for anything that was heavy. My brother is a gym maniac so he should have some weights… let's see, let's see.. Found it!
My eyes lit up as I saw the heavy weights at the corner of his room beside the almeera. I tried picking them up, but they were still quite heavy. Though they weren't impossible to carry, so I slowly and slowly took them towards the balcony.
I looked down once again and smiled before… dropping the heavy weights down the balcony.
'Please hit!'
[Ding!]
[You have killed a Lesser E-grade Zombie]
[You gained +20 Exp]
A grin formed on my face as I proceeded to throw the other weights…
Though the next one did not result in anything.
I turned sad as I threw another weight.
[Ding!]
[You have killed an E-Grade Zombie]
[You gained +50 Exp]
'Hmmm?! Not a Lesser Zombie?!!' My heart skipped a beat again as I looked down at the horde of the zombies with a dry mouth. I was happy to know I got twice the Exp but… a stronger zombie is in no way good news.
'Let's continue,' I thought as I threw the other free weights, the books he had, his chair, his guitar…
