Free Web NovelChapter 107: Escape The Death
When the zombies realized his presence, Theodore didn’t stop his steps. He accelerated his pace to extend the distance between them. Theodore could be sure the zombies couldn’t catch up with him when he reached the third floor.
Given that the electricity had been cut off for a long time, the elevators in this mall were also not working because Theodore had to run and climb the elevator stairs one by one, which made him quite tired.
Fortunately, Theodore could separate himself from the zombies; otherwise, they would have caught him.
"At least this trip wasn’t entirely about bad luck," Theodore muttered as he glanced briefly behind him.
[System just wanted to remind you that the Host was already in the vicinity of the objective location]
"Yes, I know. To ensure my safety, I must first pay attention to the surrounding area. I don’t want to be chased by zombies again." Theodore crouched down to hide so the zombies on the third floor wouldn’t see him.
At the same time, Theodore glanced at the minimap provided by the System. At the moment, Theodore was paying attention to his right side area because that was where the oxygen tank was. He wanted to make sure there were many zombies there.
Just in case Theodore still needed to activate his Area of Protection skill, if there were indeed a lot of zombies chasing him, he could activate the skill while he inserted all the oxygen cylinders he could secure.
However, it would be beneficial if Theodore didn’t need to activate the skill to get the oxygen cylinder; that way, he could use his skill for his journey back to the ground floor.
From what he saw, Theodore saw only a few zombies around the 3rd floor, fewer than on the 1st floor. Thinking he was finally lucky, Theodore was determined to enter the 3rd-floor area.
As no zombies noticed his arrival, Theodore slowly escaped from there, following his minimap to the direction where the oxygen tank he needed was located.
There weren’t many humans on this floor during the zombie outbreak. There are only a few zombies here," Theodore said, feeling very grateful that there weren’t many zombies on the floor.
[The Host should get the oxygen tank quickly before the zombies here discover your presence]
Theodore also had no intention of wasting time there, so he quickened his pace to his destination. During his journey, Theodore only found a few zombies, which he quickly killed so as not to invite other zombies there.
After finding shelves filled with portable oxygen cylinders that could be used immediately there, Theodore rushed to the shelves and put them into his sacred dimension without waiting long.
"It’s a good thing we found this tool. I have to hurry back to the ground floor!" Theodore eagerly inserted all the oxygen cylinders he saw.
Not only that, but Theodore also took several boxes of masks that were around the shelf, and there was a chance he would take whatever he could.
However, while Theodore was enjoying his time collecting the oxygen cylinders, he felt something dangerous from behind him for some reason.
When Theodore looked back, he was shocked to find a zombie there. To make matters worse, it looked like it was about to spit something out of its mouth.
Theodore had already raised his sword to attack the zombie, but he decided against it because he didn’t see the zombie about to attack him. When Theodore rose to his feet and intended to approach the zombie, he was surprised when the zombie spat acid at him.
Sensing danger, Theodore quickly avoided the liquid. Because Theodore dodged, the liquid hit the floor he was previously on. When the floor came into contact with the acidic liquid, Theodore could see the tile floor slowly melting.
Theodore’s eyes bulged when he saw what happened in front of him. Fortunately, he dodged. Otherwise, it could have been him who melted at this time.
"Damn! It turns out there are other zombies with powers!" Theodore shuddered in horror when he saw the melted tile floor before him.
Not wanting his life to be in danger, Theodore thoughtlessly cut off the head of the zombie that could shoot acid from its mouth.
"Doesn’t this make no sense? Why do these zombies have powers, too?" Theodore was actually confused as to why these zombies suddenly had powers.
Theodore didn’t care about zombies’ development in his previous life because he had hired people to protect him before they betrayed him. Theodore doesn’t know about zombies’ development; he only knows they will evolve several times.
[Of course, to balance the world. If only humans can generate power, then you will be able to quickly kill zombies with unequal power]
Theodore thought this System was nonsense, even though the humans had gone to great lengths to defeat the zombies. He said it would not be balanced if the zombies could not generate power like them.
"Doesn’t that mean this world wants humans to become extinct?" Theodore wasn’t too happy when he heard the System’s explanation.
[Only the strongest can survive in the world]
For some reason, Theodore got goosebumps when the System told him that. The System’s words were actual, but it was hard enough for them to survive.
"I was wrong for thinking I could discuss this with you." Theodore shook his head, realizing the mistake he had made.
Since he had gotten all the necessary items, Theodore chose to walk away from there, but as he stepped around the corpse of the zombie he had just killed, he felt his foot kick something.
When Theodore looked down to see what he had kicked, he was surprised to see a small, clear crystal.
Theodore quickly bent down to pick up the clear crystal, not wanting anyone else to take it.
In his previous life, Theodore knew that this clear crystal was often referred to as the Mana Crystal, which was usually used by people who had awakened to replenish their strength. freewebnovёl.ƈom
The crystal was precious; even a group was willing to kill people with powers to take away the mana crystal they had.
One of the purposes of leaving the base and killing zombies was to find this mana crystal. Theodore didn’t know this mana crystal could only be found in zombies with powers.
"Oh my! It turns out that my trip this time was really not in vain!" Theodore was pleased because he got the rare mana crystal.
In the past, Theodore didn’t have a chance to get it because the price was very high. No one was willing to sell their mana crystals, even if someone wanted to buy them.
Theodore was also motivated to look for these powerful zombies to get this precious mana crystal.
