Bam!!

Drake was hit by the giant zombie and he hit his head on the wall.

Pain coursed through his body, he felt great pain but didn't lose consciousness.

"Finish him!" The upgrader said to his zombie through his zombie collection system.

The zombies growled loudly as it charged forward towards Drake.

Drake then all of a sudden shifted from the way, causing the zombie to hit the Wall.

[The must use logic in defeating the zombie. About the upgrader controlling it, the host don't have to worry.]

"This means I should only focus on destroying the zombie?" Drake asked in his head as he faced the zombie.

[Correct!]

[Apart from the zombies, the upgrader has no other advantage over you.]

The system said and then Drake's eyes widened in realization.

Drake now realized that it was possible that this particular upgrader may have no other skills.

He realized the upgrader was probably powerless apart from the power of the zombie.

Drake's eyes were now focused only on the zombie.

    He charged towards Drake and Drake hit him with a really wild dark energy that caused him to burst into a pile of flesh.[Enemy Defeated! Obstacle cleared...]The system voiced in his head, and then Drake suddenly gulped. He then got up quickly and faced the 50 people who were huddling together behind him.“Hey, all of you, I want to help you get out of this place. You need to follow me; I will take you all to a safe zone where zombies cannot attack you!” Drake said to them, and they nodded.“Now, come!!” Drake said to them, and they followed him out immediately.Walking out of the building, Drake broke down the gate with the dark energy, letting the people pass through the gate.“Isn’t it too late to walk around? It seems like there could be a lot more zombies out there that could attack us. Why don’t we find a place to stay until morning?” one of the survivors said to Drake.Drake turned and faced them...“There are no safe places around here. If you want to be safe, then you just h

The coin tab is now unlocked. The host's coins can now be counted each time he gives a zombie a headshot with a bullet.]"This time it must be a bullet?" Drake asked and he heard the system's voice immediately.[Correct! Killing a zombie by the head through any other means will no longer be counted, and it won't earn you any coins.]Drake stood there, putting two and two together to fully grasp what this development meant for him."All right, let me get it straight, you mean I can only access the store from now on unlimit

    Drake and Racheal were leaning over a rooftop. They were spying on a truck."What's that truck for, and why are this people pulling it open?" Drake asked.Rachael was as confused as him. They both were watching two men dressed in millitary uniform walking around an empty truck."The truck is empty, but it seems like they are waiting for someone else inside the building," Rachael said.It was in front of the building whose rooftop they were laying, that the truck was packed.BEEP!Drake heard his System's voice come up in his head."Do you have anything to say about what's happening in my current location?" Drake said to the system in his head.[Host is in a location with excess food supply. Host has gone out of Suncrest City into Berryhill.]Drake's eyes widened when he heard this. He knew about the town called Berryhill, next to Suncrest city from the other end, but he had never been there."You mean, there's a lot of food in this building on whose roof we lay?" Drake asked.[Yes!][

Rachael said, her eyes widening in shock.Drake suddenly moved swiftly with his enhanced speed to cover both himself and Rachael with the boxes of food.[Bravo!][Host will now remain undetected by the opponent.]The system sounded. Until then, Drake was still wondering if his plans would work.[REMINDER: Host only has one life pack left.

    Bitting his lips to try and withstand the pain, Drake drove the truck to the gate."With whose orders are you taking the truck?" one of the five soldiers in charge of opening the gate asked."Commander Arnold asked that I deliver it to the headquarters," Drake said.His heart was pumping fast as he struggled to hide the pain from his burning arm.BEEP![The Enemy is in the host's current location and had its eyes on the host.]Hearing this, Drake realized that Margaret was near.[Host has more survival chances against a B-RANKER now since he has upgraded to the C-RANK.][All Host's abilities will work in the presence of a B-RANKER now.

That was just one advantage of leveling up."Wait, I must confirm from Commander Arnold himself, if you don't mind," the soldier at the gate said.Drake tensed and felt nervous because this delay could lead

    "Perfect!" Drake thought to himself after the system gave him a clue about what to do.[Margret Henderson is just behind the truck. She is about to use her elemental manipulation skills against the host.]Drake heard this and then he knew that there was absolutely nothing to worry about since he was in the truck and the truck was surrounded by the soldiers trying to sabotage his mission."Then I can’t wait for her to strike; the soldiers will be devastated, and I will have time to escape," Drake said to the system.[Yes! The host only has to execute perfect timing so the mission is not sabotaged.][Host may consider channeling his speed and his strength to the truck. By doing this, the host will be able to break down the gate by hitting it with the truck.][By channeling the speed to the truck, he can make the truck move really quickly to get out of imminent danger.]Hearing this, Drake believed it was a great idea.He had channeled his speed through a stone before when he first met A

The moment his feet touched the floor, he felt odd. “Whoa! It feels like I am walking on an egg shell,” Drake said as he walked forward.He looked around and he was shocked at what he saw.“Three moons, one star... this all seemed like we are in some Sci-Fi movie, what the hell is this place?” Drake said as he let his eyes move around the world, scanning for clues.“You mean

"Okay, what about other threats? Do you think that it is safe for me?" Drake asked.[Apart from the one and only threat being Sergeant Spears who created this world, they are no threats.]Drake heard this and he nodded."Rachael, you don't have to worry about this place, there are no direct threats, we just have to find a way out," Drake said."So then, how do we find a way out of this place.

    Drake and Elisa huddled together, their eyes were fixed on the worn pages of the diary which was spread out before them. They read each page carefully in anticipation as they took note of the details that we're contained within it. Each word was seen as though it could be offering a potential clue to the location of the facility where the button was rumored to be hidden.According to the owner of the diary, the one who was not only a part of the experiment but also was the one who brought about the idea of the button, The experiment was not completed in any of the facilities they had thought. The ones on their list were the facilities where the experiment began. It happened that after each failed attempt, they would move over to one which they assumed was well equipped and at a more conducive environment. However, after several trials, they discovered that there were certain conditions which would be more suited for the experiment. And for the sole purpose of the experience, A speci

    The Diary

    The night was already far gone when Drake and Elisa made their way back from their encounter with the mysterious man whom they have come to know as a great scientist. Not just any scientist but one who was at the forefront of the whole project that led them to this very place where humanity has found itself. The conversation they had with this man went long enough. The discovered a whole lot by listening to the man speak for almost two hours.They learned that the button was created to put an end to the effect of the experiment instantly. Yes! the button was that effective. It is no wonder the it seemed to be so important to everyone who knew about it. For some reason, the man who had claimed to not just be a big part of the experiment but also the brain behind "the button" equally, said he has no idea about the actual location of the button. According to him, they must have done something to not just him but every other colleague of his who was sidelined. However, he gave them his

    Drake and Elisa set off in opposite directions, their footsteps echoing through the empty corridors as the moved in a hurry to be able to cover more grounds before there was any interruption. It is not strange for them to assume that there would be some kind of interruption at some point definitely. It has become a regular occurrence in their daily lives now especially when it has to do with the quest to find a solution to the apocalypse. It always felt as though all the forces. of the entire universe were gunning for them. At this point, it is safe to say that the had a target right on their back. In fact, it would be like an error if they finished from NeoGen lab in peace and left without any kind of interference or interruption. As they went from one room to another, they realized the entire place was almost empty. they both found nothing but dust and probably rats running around. Elisa might have been the one who saw the rat,and as much as she wants to tell herself that it is

    It seemed like the journey was endless and the road was stretching at every turn. Elisa was becoming tired in the car as they embarked on yet another journey in search of answers. The sun hung low in the sky, a journey they started since morning was gradually dragging till nightfall as they drove towards NeoGen Labs. They drove in silence for hours. They were talking a lot at the beginning of their journey, but it got to a point where they both ran out of things to talk about, the fact that they were already exhausted didn't make it easy for them to bother about the silence anyway. Along the line, they would say one or two things to each other, but it was not enough to maintain a conversation.As night fell, they finally arrived at their at their destination. They packed their car in a place a bit far from the main building."I think this is good enough. With this, it can't be seen easily."

    NEO GEN LAB

    The night seemed to be very stretched out before Drake and Elisa. They had decided to find a relatively safe place to spend the night. There was no way they could go back to where they came from, not unless the next clue points them towards that place.. They sat in the car in silence both thinking about the same thing but not speaking up, their minds were full of not just the familiar feeling of disappointment but also many questions.Drake ran a hand through his hair, his brow furrowed in thought as he stared out into the darkness. "I can't believe they destroyed the institute," he muttered, his voice was filled with frustration obviously. "All the answers that may have been in that institute, everything has gone up in flames.. everything"Beside him, Elisa sat in silence, listening to him speak. She was equally frustrated. she could not imagine that all their effort was in vain. "It is like they are always one step ahead of us at every turn," she said to Drake, She sounded like she

    Drake smiled back at Elisa. He felt a bit better than he was feeling a moment ago. "Alright, shall we?"Elisa returned his smile again and then nodded in agreement.They began to walk along the narrow path. They tried to walk as fast as they could in order to leave that premises as soon as possible. The needed to get to the car early enough. Drake changed his mind on walking all the way there. They had parked the vehicle some meters away for two reasons: firstly, it was to avoid calling attention to themselves, secondly it was to protect the car. Right now Drake is thankful that he made that decision earlier because with what had just happened, there was no telling what those men would have done to the car if they had seen it. "Hold on, we can't walk, let me carry you. Running will get us there in a minute." He carried Elisa on his back and ran towards the direction of the car.As they approached the vehicle, Drake's mind was occupied and a bit troubled with thoughts of their next

    Begining Of The End

    Drake and Elisa burst out of the building coughing so much that their chests were hurting so badly. Elisa would have probably collapsed if she was the one who had to carry her own weight herself. On the other hand, Drake got his determination from the fact that he felt responsible for Elisa, otherwise he also might have collapsed. But here he was trying to be strong for both of them. The strength he got from the system could not possibly get him through moments like this by itself. They were both breathing heavily, their hearts were pounding so fast...it felt like they were threathing to pop out through their mouths because of the rush and the fact that they had to hold their breath at some point in there.

    The Button II

    Drake removed the flashdrive and placed it in a plastic envelope he found on the desk. He put it in his backpack and was set to leave. "I think we are done here. Let us get going" he said to Elisa. As the were about to open the door, they started to hear sounds coming from the outside. It was not a loud one. It was like faint footsteps approaching the building. They both stopped and looked at each other. "What is that... can you hear that?" Elisa asked Drake. She was sure she was not the only one who heard it, because as faint as it was sounding, it was quiet audible enough for someone on this kind of mission to hear. "I can hear it too" Drake confirmed. They decided against opening the door immediately. Instead, they went to one of the windows which faced the main entrance to peep. "I don't see anything. Do you?" Drake whispered to Elisa. "No I don't... not yet!" Elisa replied. She got am idea to try and scan through the walls. "I can see. we have company." She said "What do y

    It is safe to say that the silence was loud. Drake and Elisa could not say a word at that very moment. A thousand and one thoughts were flying through their minds. For some reason, it felt like the got the answer they have been looking for, yet they know quite well that the answer was not there. "Something was indeed wrong. Something was going on down here. Something quite scary" Drake finally spoke. I wish the video explained some parts in more detail though. What was that experiment all I have about in the first place? what were they trying to do?"Drake said like he was overwhelmed with the entire situation."The button he spoke about... do you know what he meant by that?. Elisa asked. "do you think it could be a metaphor or he was referring to an actual button?" she added. "I do not really understand everything, but I think it is an actual button. At that stage there was no need to be using metaphor. He mentioned facilities. I believe that there are no other facilities involve
