Noah was a little nervous as he subconsciously took some steps back.
Although he has watched some movies and even read comics regarding zombies but that still doesn't change the fact that he is facing reality and it involves life and death which Noah feels was scarier.Just then as if he experienced a flashback of his family only for the image to be altered to that of his family gnawed to death while his mother turned into a lifeless zombie._No! I can't accept such a result till I see it with my face! If a chubby middle-aged man can be determined, what is stopping me, an energetic youth who even plays basketball?_Thinking so, he no longer hesitates to dash towards one of the zombies at the forefront.Bringing down his sharp axe on the zombie's head with one swing he chops it off leaving blood spewing from the neck.Sensing one of the zombies close to him about to grab him, Noah rush aside which wasn't what a professional would do but being an amateur at combat he did it.Using that chance, he took a deep breath and quickly wipe the small blood which stain his cheek from the sprayed one.[Ding! You have killed a level 1 zombie, 10 EXP has been given to you.]Dismissing the hologram, Noah dashes towards one of the zombie guards and slashes his axe right into the skull. Killing it immediately and so did he killed the last one.He noticed something like an ancient goat skin used to write dropped from the zombie's body and curiously picked it up.[Ding! You have killed a level 1 zombie, 10 EXP has been given.][Ding! 3 stats have been given to you.][Ding! You have gained 10 EXP][Congratulations, you have gotten the 'basic footwork skill'' Do you wish to learn it?]"Let's see..." He mutter.Noah calmly opened his stats.Name: Noah OscarRace: UnknownClass: NonLevel: 1EXP: 0/100Health: 50/50Strength: 20Speed: 16Endurance: 10Stamina: 16_Let's not use these points for now shall we?_He thought inwardly.'Borrowing' one of the corpse's shirts to wipe off the blood from his axe. He enters each of the offices checking for any evidence or helpful gadget. With his bare feet and subject shirt, he strode around with a vigilant stare as he made his way toward a door with the 'Exit' sign on it.As soon as he stepped out of the room, he found himself in a wide open space and ahead of him were 4 lifeless bodies. The aura inside this place was gloomy and he could even feel his hair rising.Standing there was a twisted-neck bald man with his left eye dangling outside.His mouth was trickling with yellowish saliva which corrodes the floor whenever it drips.His rotten chest was filled with worms squirming inside.Noah quickly bends over and pukes his guts out.Well, the 2-metre-tall zombie didn't give him a chance to finish as it dash over with momentum that left Noah shocked.Without thinking Noah raise his axe instinctively and tried blocking the attack directed at his chest._Bam!_The force hitting his axe smashed him right through the same door he stepped out from and sent him sliding across the corridor.-2HP"Cough… cough… cough." Coughing up Noah failed to notice a drop of blood from his lip as he saw the zombie dashing towards him. Lifting its wide foot it tried smashing it on Noah but luckily Noah rolled away and force himself up.Without wasting time he pours his stats into his speed.Not stopping there he immediately force himself to absorb the knowledge regarding the combat skills.That was the mistake he made.He never knew it takes time to absorb the knowledge.Doing so forced him into a trace which the zombie took the opportunity to throw a strong inhuman punch right into his stomach, knocking the air out of his lungs._Bam!_Like a cracked doll, Noah was propelled flying and smashing right into the wall.He almost blacked out.-10HP _Is this how I will die?_ Noah felt bitter in his heart as he watched the zombie walking with steady footsteps towards him.It was like it doesn't want to end him immediately and would rather take its time._Don't make me regret this. You are my masterpiece and I wish you can transcend my expectations_ At that moment he remembered Chris's words._Yes! How can I die now of all times? I might not be the protagonist or villain but that won't stop me from being strong to protect my family_ Fueled by his will he forced himself up and clutch tightly to his axe._with the increase in speed and the slight amateurish skills I just got knowledge of. Gotta make use of em_ Thinking so he calmly and alertly watches every move of the disgusting zombie.The zombie dashed across again with the motive of hurling a punch to which Noah drift his head sidewards letting the hand pass his head.Not hesitating, he slashes his axe right into the stomach of the creature. Causing it to shriek as dark blood dripped out of the wounded place.Thankfully being part of the basketball team sure has its pinnacle. It made him artlessly agile plus the enhancement from the hybrid combination Noah didn't feel much pain from that punch.Probably cause his adrenaline is high. Noah didn't stop there as he tried chopping off the leg.Even though the axe was sharp, it wasn't easy to penetrate a super-strong being easily...Diving down, he avoided a punch heading his way and delivered a strike to its foot before rolling away.The fight raged on for more than 23 minutes, Noah's hospital shirt got torn and he sustained bruises and cuts on his body as he keeps getting smashed away but nevertheless, he stood back every single time.The zombie on the other hand has one of its hands chopped off and one of its legs could barely move which was bad for him._Time for the final move then._With a steady look, he rushed towards the zombie. Tightening his grip on the axe and jumped high.With a whooshing sound, the axe landed heavily on the head making it split with brain fluids flowing out of it.[Congratulations, you have successfully killed a peak level 2 zombie. 50 EXP has been given to you with 3 stats points.][You've levelled up to level 2!][Successfully learned 'basic martial arts fist skill']Noah wobbling sat down and massage his brows as he instantly felt weak.He visualized the hologram.Name: Noah OscarRace: UnknownClass: NonLevel: 2EXP: 30/150Health: 50/50Strength: 20Speed: 16 +3Endurance: 10 +3Stamina: 16"Huuuu" Taking a deep breath, Noah focus on his stats and thought calmly._My endurance is so low. It might look less useful but who knows when it will be useful?_With that thought, he put the whole three points into his endurance. Feeling the strain on his mental health lessen a bit Noah felt a bit happy.After 5 minutes of resting, he forced himself up when he thought of his family. Eliminating the low-level zombies on the way, Noah, who has been on the lookout for the mutant dog felt to notice it.Finally, after what felt like ages, he spotted the door which leads outside. Quickening his steps he went outside._Impossible!_ With his mouth agape, Noah watched where he came out from.It was straight out of the locker room and one of the lockers which the school administrators warn the students never to get close to it._Secret pathway?_ Just then His thought was hindered by a female voice."Somebody saveeee me!"Noah's mouth twitched when he heard that voice._Seems like Smallville Superman's attention is needed_Saying so, he straighten his back and stood with a heroic aura around him. Looking deep into the locker room, he realize that was where the voice arose. Without wasting time, he use his axe to break one of the locke.A basketball shirt, trousers and sneakers were inside. He took off the lab dress, standing nude he hastily wore the basketball clothes. _Somebody please saveeee meeee_ Taking a deep breath, Noah shot the hall a look and then with a speed twofold that of a human. Noah bolts out of the locker room… _Tsk, I can't risk wasting a single moment saving you while my family conditions are unknown_ He thought as he halved a zombie into two while still running. [Ding!

Wooooosh~ An ear-piercing sound made Noah roll away as a sharp claw slice where his head was supposed to be. Not wasting time he propelled himself upward and stomp the floor, borrowing the momentum to reach the abdomen of the dog. Striking his axe once more at the exact point which now reveals his ribcage. The beast roared in pain as it jumped forward and used its back foot to kick Noah tumbling a metre back. -4HP [Warning! Host HP is 10 only and any more damage is detrimental to…] _Shut the fuck up!_ Noah closed the message and force himself up. He could feel some broken bones in his chest which affect his breath and movements. His left foot was twisted, probably from being kicked. _I have to be careful_ Thinking so, he looked at the dog which was limping towards him with a ferocious look. _It seems like I am not the only injured one_ _How will I kill this dog? Wish I had some skill related to the foot. The fist own might be useful if I was stronger._ He thought as he be
Were all those students who the school announced either eluded, dropped out or were abducted used for the test?Who is Chris Cooper?_His brow scrunched up as he subconsciously closed his eyes. _Sigh, guess I will have to think of that later. The more time I waste the higher the chance of me not seeing my parents increase._ With such thoughts he stood up, prompting Jayden whose mental state has been stretched to its limit to take a step back subconsciously.Noah didn't spare him a gaze as his eyes swept across Bernard and the great before he finally asked, "Where is she?"Jayden knew who he was talking of, lowering his head he answered, "When the chaos descended, we weren't together. I suspect she was in her dorm back then so I can't say for sure if she is alive or dead."Hearing such a response, Noah didn't respond as he stretched his body with pain on his face as he listened to the cracking sound made by his broken bones._Why don't I utilize a car? I am so injured and won't be abl
Noah's lips twitch as he was a bit speechless._How can a cockroach be this powerful? I do notice they have strong will but to have strength... Tsk this mutation will make humans no longer be the apex of the food chain._Staring at the 20 centimetres dark cockroach which just repelled his assault.Noah dropped his now blunt axe and decides to try his martial fist.[Author: What a reckless move~]Without wasting time he hurled himself right at the cockroach who also flew towards him.As soon as they came into contact Noah punch it and it got tyrannized."..."[Ding Dark armour cockroach has been killed. 50 EXP points awarded]"It's weak?" Noah frown out of confusion, his axe wasn't able to kill it but his fist executed it which baffled him.

Host has gained a one-time use ability, 'Sharp perception.' Your awareness will be temporarily increase after using it and it can last for 20 minutes.]Without wasting much time he shove it into his pocket."It feels like it's gonna rain any moment from now."

As soon as the attack appeared the zombie who stood dazedly suddenly lifted its hand and swirling on its finger was a necrotic energy. A unique undead energy!One known for its strong corrosive force against any living thing or object. The zombie quickly squats down, dodging the stinger which miss him and hit the floor leaving a hole.Without wasting time it grabbed the stinger and let the necrotic energy spread rapidly onto it. Slowly decaying it.But will the scorpion stay silently and watch itself die?With its full strength, it jerk its stinger in the hope of forcefully pulling it out of its predicament but like glue, the zombie didn't let go instead he shoved his feet into the ground and drag the stinger which has decayed significantly.Just then, the scorpion changes its style again. The tail quickly condensed another bulb of liquid and shot it at the zombie.All this happened in a span of 1.2 seconds.The zombie, left with no option could only use his other hand to shield his

An additional 2 stats point has been given to host.]Like files being transferred into a device, The information regarding the soul bond gushes into Noah's head as he shut his eyes subconsciously.After knowing how it works, Noah's mouth arced into a smile as he thought, _With this if by any chance I meet that zombie then I'm sure we can settle things amicably in the future._Just then, his eyes spot three things on the ground. A gauntlet, jacket and scroll.Picking the first one which looks like a gauntlet with a rough appearance and spikes in the hand place. Looking at it Noah felt like the gauntlet's surface was uneven and rough, the metal scarred seemed pitted with age. Around the edges, barbed wire-lik
[Ding! You've got black speedy boot]"Cool name~" Bernard's eye lit up with excitement as he looked at it.Without wasting time, he wears it on his feet.He can feel his body becoming as light as a bird's feather.Jayden saw this and nod in approval. It is not like he doesn't want the boot but his cousin's life matters. He knew they both have to get better types of equipment and skills in order to survive in this place.Thinking back to Bernard's move of throwing a spear at a speedy cat, Jayden's lip twitched in amusement as he glance around. Ahead of them was the school's gate, leading horizontally into the metropolis."Enough celebration Bernard. Let's get outta here." Jayden orders and with that, the both of them stride unhurriedly with caution on their faces as they head for the school's gate.But as soon as they reached 50 meters close to the gate, a low profound growl rumbled, forcing the duos to halt in tension as they subconsciously retreat.At the school's gate, three German
