Die with Value

In the apocalypse, cars are considered a luxury.

Henry has a hint; he just needs the car keys to find the corresponding vehicle.

But other survivors don't have this capability.

Finding the exact car that matches keys found on zombies is not an easy task.

Moreover, in these apocalyptic times, with zombies roaming freely, it's not possible to stroll around and try each car like one might do shopping.

Therefore, cars must be prioritized for important individuals.

Henry leaped down from the five-story rooftop of the hot spring hotel.

He landed steadily on the ground.

Even when he was at the peak of his physical limits, he could already withstand such an impact.

Now, as a Stage 3 Junior Awakener, he had advanced three levels.

His strength was incomparably greater!

After landing, Henry didn't chase after the car but found a good angle.

He pulled out an assault rifle.

With the aid of his sniper skills,

Bang! A shot rang out.

He blew out the tire of the black SUV.

Screech~~

The SUV emitted a sharp noise.

Then, the body of the car twisted slightly but managed to regain direction, desperately continuing forward.

Henry took a deep breath and raised the assault rifle again.

Bang!

Another shot!

This one hit the right front tire.

A puff of blue smoke rose.

Now, the SUV completely lost control.

The tires left a crooked, snake-like trail on the road.

With a heavy crash, the front of the car slammed into a stone pillar at the bridgehead.

There was no escape now.

Henry, carrying the assault rifle, slowly walked towards the SUV.

Armored mechas are meant to be used against zombie hordes.

Using one here would be a bit of a waste.

For dealing with these people, whose combat levels weren't even clear, Henry was more than enough.

"Where do these reckless folks come from!"

"Wishing for death and dragging us along with them!"

The senator touched the bruise on his forehead and said coldly,

"Senator, let's go first and meet up with Koike and the others!"

"Leave this to Mr. Nakajima, his strength won't be a problem!"

Akatani Yoko exerted all her strength to pull the senator from the deformed car door.

"Yoko is right, leave this man to me!"

"You go ahead, I won't take long!"

After saying this, Nakajima Takeshi grinned widely.

Then, he fiercely kicked the car door.

With a loud bang, the entire car door was kicked in by his immense force and flew straight out.

It slid on the ground for three or four meters before coming to a stop.

Previous incidents of suppressing rebellious Japanese had awakened the beast within Nakajima Takeshi.

Humans became test subjects and could not be slaughtered at will.

This frustrated him.

Today, finally, he could fully unleash himself again, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

It had really been several days since he last killed anyone!

"Hey, don't play around, just kill him quickly!"

Uesugi instructed somewhat uneasily.

Nakajima Takeshi was a Stage 1 Junior Awakener.

Uesugi completely trusted his strength.

However, Nakajima Takeshi was somewhat sadistic.

Every time he killed, it was like a cat playing with a mouse.

He would torture his victims until they were beyond recognition before killing them!

If it were a normal day, it wouldn't matter since there was plenty of time.

And such a death would also serve to deter others.

But now was different, once the Crawlers finished off the survivors in the hot spring hotel,they would soon pursue them.

A swift and decisive battle was imperative!

"Understood, don't worry, Senator!"

"This guy is interesting, killing him should allow me to level up again!"

"I'll make it quick!"

Nakajima Takeshi stepped out of the SUV, eyes greedily fixed on Henry.

"Hmm? An Awakener?"

"Which direction of genetic evolution?"

"It's my first time encountering an Awakener as an opponent!"

Henry was slightly surprised.

But then, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

John's squad consists of well-trained soldiers, all armed and ready, yet they are only at the peak of their physical limits.

Why should Nakajima Takeshi be able to level up faster than these soldiers?

Considering Minako's actions and their use of humans for experiments...

The only explanation is that he has killed quite a few people!

It must be admitted, the rules of this world are cruel.

Leveling up by killing other survivors is definitely much faster than leveling up by killing zombies.

If someone really went around specifically targeting survivor camps for massacres,

Their leveling speed would undoubtedly be no less than Henry's.

It might even be faster!

"Die!"

Nakajima Takeshi didn't waste words; he roared and charged at Henry.

Killing Nakajima Takeshi wouldn't be difficult, but... he must be made to maximize his value before he dies...

Henry raised his gun and aimed at Nakajima Takeshi's head, firing a shot with a bang.

Whoosh!

Nakajima Takeshi reacted incredibly fast, making a predictive move the moment Henry fired.

The bullet grazed his cheek and flew past.

He successfully dodged the shot.

"So, a Level 1 Awakener can dodge bullets, huh..."

"Try this!"

This time, Henry didn't go for single shots but switched to burst mode.

Normally, firing in burst mode causes the assault rifle's strong recoil to make the muzzle rise, decreasing shooting accuracy.

However, with Henry's current physical strength, this wasn't an issue.

Coupled with the sniper skill enhancement, the bullets were nearly 100% targeted at Nakajima Takeshi's body.

While shooting, Henry even predicted the possible routes Nakajima Takeshi might take to dodge.

It can be said that this burst of bullets nearly covered all the areas around Nakajima Takeshi.

"Damn!"

"Watch this!"

Nakajima Takeshi roared.

Veins bulged on his forehead.

His expression was terrifyingly angry!

Nakajima Takeshi's speed surged again!

He dodged most of the bullets.

But still, a few bullets hit his thighs and chest.

However...

Nakajima Takeshi, as if unaffected, continued his charge without slowing down.

The 200-meter distance quickly closed as he reached right in front of Henry!

"Surprised, aren't you? Bullets are useless against me!"

"Die!"

Nakajima Takeshi bellowed, not pausing for a moment.

He swung his fist, heavily aimed at Henry's head.

Nakajima Takeshi was not unarmed.

He wore knuckle dusters!

Those metal weapons fitted over the fingers, spiked for lethal impact.

Using this, he could smash a zombie with a single punch.

Bang!

Boom!

In just an instant.

Nakajima Takeshi's massive body was heavily smashed onto the road surface.

He cracked the asphalt with several fine lines.

Henry, covered in an energy armor, stood emotionless at his spot.

A fatal strike!
