Chapter 21: Joining Up
Most of the people were either younglings or elderly men. Maverick couldn't help but frown. Wouldn't it have been better to just leave them to their deaths? Carrying such a load of unhelpful people would only slow Max down. Not only that, but Max would have to fight while protecting them, which, to Maverick, was a complete waste of time.“Okay, guys, this here is Maverick. I stumbled upon him while clearing up the zombies," Max introduced him.But no one replied. The only sounds echoing were the sobs of some women and the moody silence of the men. Reality was sinking in, and perhaps some of them were already reflecting on how their loved ones hadn’t made it this far.Then, a man from the group stood up. He was dressed in a suit, his chubby face glistening with sweat. He approached Max, throwing a quick glance at Maverick before saying, “Max, why did you bring someone in? Don’t you know too many people means too many zombies on our tails? We need to minimize our numbers, not add more t

Chapter 22: 40th Floor
20 Minutes Later“Alright, we’ve rested long enough for everyone to regain some energy. Let’s keep moving up,” Max announced firmly.No one complained as they stood up and continued climbing. They reached the 21st floor, then the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th, surprised to find no zombies on the stairs or in any of the rooms. The lack of threats made the group subconsciously relax. Some of the ordinary humans even began murmuring among themselves. As the saying goes, a drop of black ink spoils the white, and the murmuring grew louder and louder until Maverick couldn’t help but frown.Seeing Maverick’s displeasure, Max immediately understood his irritation. Just as Max was about to order the group to keep quiet, a loud banging sound erupted from a door beside them as they reached the 26th floor. The sudden noise froze everyone in place, silencing them instantly.Terror gripped the group as the banging continued, growing louder and more insistent, as though it had attracted more zombies to join

Chapter 23: New Weapons
Seeing this, Max’s eyes lit up with happiness. He looked at Maverick with genuine gratitude and said, “An all-access key! You’ve been a huge help this time, and I’m sure the others will be grateful too. With this key, everyone can have their own rooms, keeping them apart and reducing the chances of conflict.”Twenty-five or twenty-six agitated people crammed into one room was a nightmare scenario Max could already foresee turning into chaos if left unchecked.With the key in hand, the two of them spent the next thirty minutes systematically clearing each room. They encountered a total of ten zombies, dispatching them easily. Since the zombies weren’t in large numbers, the task proved manageable for the duo.Finally, with all the zombies cleared, Max went downstairs to address the group of people who were waiting anxiously. Their faces carried a mixture of hope and fear as they waited for news.“The floor is clear now. You can all come up,” Max announced calmly, watching their expressi

Chapter 24: Grinding Zombies For Points
“What a sad fate. Humans can never go against destiny, no matter the amount of preparation—except with true power. If only I had the absolute power of greed in my previous life, it would’ve been so much easier to kill that annoying Bruce Chen,” Maverick thought, sighing as he strapped the flying swords to his waist.With weapons in hand, Maverick immediately began devising a plan to grind the zombies. He needed to kill them in large numbers without drawing too much attention; otherwise, a swarm could overwhelm him and slow his progress. The aftermath of the nuclear explosion filled the air with a hazy fog, no doubt caused by radioactive particles."I forgot to collect a better mask," Maverick muttered, slapping his forehead. His impatience to increase his power had made him overlook this crucial detail.“Biolens, is there a way to become immune to the radiation in the air?” he asked, finally remembering the AI embedded in his consciousness. Its robotic, feminine voice responded instan

Chapter 25: Mass Killing
“Clear all the notifications and directly show me my stats,” Maverick ordered calmly.---Name: Maverick SladeNickname: The StormbringerClass: Special Operations Agent (Counter-Terrorism Expert)Energy Points: 1.55 + 3.1Attributes:Strength: 22Agility: 22Endurance: 19Intelligence: 13Perception: 16Charisma: 10Vitality: 11---Seeing this, Maverick directly ordered, “Increase my vitality by one point.”[Vitality +1 energy point.]Immediately, Maverick felt a chilling sensation round his body as his heart and entire being felt cold, as if a fresh wave of energy was spreading through him. At the same time, it felt like the effects of the radiation in the air on him had slightly reduced, leaving him feeling refreshed.Looking at the door, which had finally been pushed open, Maverick stood up and started walking upward. Any zombie that came closer to him was instantly sent crashing back to the others by his axes.Given how many zombies Maverick had killed, one would expect their nu

Chapter 26: Alert!
From the first floor, the battle had erupted like a storm of death, and Maverick had been forced to retreat relentlessly until he reached the twelfth floor. It was here, standing amidst a sea of destruction, that he finally confronted the horde toe-to-toe. The trail of carnage he left behind was nothing short of apocalyptic—corpses piled high, torn flesh smeared across walls, intestines strewn like grotesque decorations, and brain fluids pooling in sticky puddles. The stench of decay and iron choked the air.Even Maverick himself was not spared from the macabre artistry of the battle. His clothes were soaked in congealed blood and glistening brain matter, with bits of flesh clinging stubbornly to the fabric. His boots squelched with each step, coated in the crushed remains of human meat and viscous brain fluids. He looked like a warrior sculpted out of gore, a living monument to the fight for survival.After catching his breath, Maverick’s gaze swept the ruined stairway. He found a ro

Chapter 27: Sky Scourge
But, at that moment, a thunderous crash echoed through the area as a car was hurled aside like a discarded toy, revealing a monstrous creature that immediately locked its predatory gaze on Maverick.The beast stood a menacing 6 to 7 feet tall, its body form an abominable mutation of its former self— which was the once harmless Flying Squirrel. Its coarse, grayish-brown fur bristled with razor-sharp quills along its spine, glinting coldly under the dim light. The creature’s glowing, crimson eyes radiated primal bloodthirsty.Its patagium—the gliding membrane—had grotesquely expanded, its translucent surface crisscrossed with pulsating veins. Beneath its taut flesh, the webbing seemed alive, trembling with each movement. The beast’s fangs were long and curved like sickles, crafted for ripping flesh and crushing bone.Its muscular hind legs coiled and looked filled with terrifying power, ending in hooked claws capable of shredding metal like paper. A whip-like tail lashed behind it, aidi

Chapter 28: Killing The Sky Scourge
With a swift swipe, his sharp combat knife sliced across the Sky Scourge's thick hide, carving a flesh wound. However, the damage barely registered, the cut appearing as nothing more than a thin red line against the creature’s hardened, almost armor-like skin. Maverick grimaced. His strength was too low to deal any real damage to the mutant monster, and every strike felt futile.The realization came fast, but Maverick acted faster. Using his knife’s failed slash as a distraction, he drove his foot into the creature's flank with all his might, propelling himself backward through sheer force. The momentum launched him several feet away, giving him just enough room to raise his gun. Without hesitation, he squeezed the trigger, firing two shots midair, both aimed squarely at the Sky Scourge's exposed neck.Roarrrrrr!The beast roared in fury and pain, its massive head snapping toward Maverick. The bullets had struck true, puncturing its neck and causing dark, viscous blood to ooze from th

Chapter 29: Resting
“We are thinking of dividing into two groups,” Jennifer replied to him calmly. She immediately briefed Maverick on their next move, making him understand their plan. Jennifer was a secretary before the apocalypse; therefore, her communication and planning skills were top-notch, which was also one of the reasons Max made her one of the leaders of the group. Moreover, she was fair and beautiful to look at. Although no one had dared to act on their desires yet, perhaps it was due to her being stronger than an ordinary human, or maybe due to the stress of the apocalypse, no one had the time to consider such things.“We've decided that the first group of us should roam the floors below in search of survivors, while the other group of us should lead the stronger and braver survivors to head to the upper floors and get rid of the zombies there. This will increase the floors we can roam during our time here and at the same time save any survivors we meet,” Jennifer explained calmly without pa

Chapter 30: Evil Armed Men
1:50 PMThe sun bore down relentlessly on the deserted street, its rays glinting off the dried blood splattered across the tarred road. The heat only worsened the foul stench emanating from the corpses scattered around. The smell was both nauseating and revolting, as decomposing bodies and putrid bodily fluids filled the air with a sickening odor. Any normal human unaccustomed to such sights would struggle to keep their stomach contents down.Burnt and blackened cars were piled up against each other like pieces in a game of Tetris, forming an almost impenetrable blockade across the street. Zombies roamed aimlessly, their vacant eyes and jerky movements adding to the eeriness of the scene.Many of the buildings had been reduced to rubble by nuclear strikes, but a few remained standing, though barely. Their doors and windows were tightly shut, a clear sign that survivors were likely hiding within, hoping to avoid detection.Tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!The oppressive silence was abruptly sh
