I don't have much trust on these things but I have to continue to push forward. I pull out my Kukri and the Cleaver. I still remember that this trusty cleaver is the one that I used to kill the Juggernaut at Kirishima High School. Although I managed to win, it sacrificed and its blade chipped off. Luckily I got it repaired.

From the looks of it, it no longer looks like the normal cleaver seen in kitchen. It has a reddish tinge already and I can feel that the metal used is not an ordinary one for it to be this light than ordinary cleavers but sturdier than them, it looks like something is really going on with the Bang Gun store that we don't really know. However, that mystery will be for the next day. I had to gather all the guns out in there before we deal with the Behemoth. If we let it remain, we would end up killed from that monster.

I have been walking around the halls looking for a good way up. The elevator is broken and the stairs seems to be attached to the membrane blocking the road so I have low hopes of going there. Alternate Route is the feasible idea.

I circled around the place and managed to find an alternate staircase on the other side. I still frowned from this grimy looking slimes all around the place. Not a single undead too which is very suspicious. I tried to sense the presence of the surroundings but I came empty. I don't think there are any of them around here at all.

As I climbed up the stairs, I noticed a circle thing on the ground. I take precautions at fort before I decided to pull out my Naginata and poke it. Then I realized what it was. It was a human head... or to be precise, an undead's head.

From the looks of its wound on the neck, it was clear that it is not severed by blade weapons. Also, like the building, its covered by the same orange slime, however, the head seems half melted. Its former face is still visible on its side while the other side of the skull is sunken. Its not looking quite good you know.

I frowned on this. I know who did it and I got worried a bit. Our new enemy, the Behemoth is the one who caused this and without a doubt, its also the reason why these whole place lacks the presence of the undead that I usually see.

I carefully tread the second floor stairs and arrived safely on the second floor. Like the first floor, the whole floor is empty and not a single soul can be seen.

'Did the Behemoth devoured the undead without leaving a single trace behind?' That question keeps on lingering my mind. I have seen the size of the behemoth before and its gluttonous tendencies that are very dangerous. Although it kills and eat undead, this particular monster also preys on humans so nothing is safe. We should have proceeded to kill it when we have the chance in the past but it was also not an easy feat. without weapons.

Only a few more minutes and its Night Rage, the sky is getting darker here in the veranda of this building. I can also see the others below anxiously looking around, looking for the danger. It was quite a dangerous thing we are doing but we keep on doing this to survive.

The second floor is much tidier than the first floor and only a few splotches of slime are currently on the place.

Strange as it seems, I did not bother much on it. I have to focus on the convenience store.

When I arrived on the next staircase, I only see splotches of dried blood on the walls and floor but nothing more. I check the doors but not a single threat is found so I relaxed a bit. I rush towards the stairs so that I can get into the third floor as soon as possible.

Arriving on the third floor, the splotches of blood are more obvious here however, there are no traces of slime here. Strange as it may, I didn't bother much.

I pull out the rope inside the Duffel bag that I placed in here before and tied it on the railings. Since the rope is around 10 meters long, its enough for me to use it to go down. I made sure that the rope do not touch the cobweb of slime or else, I would be having a hard time dodging it away when climbing down and climbing back up.

After making sure that the rope is in place, climbing down is easy. It didn't take me a minute to go down. However, it would be troublesome for later. I might need to use that grappling hook later to aid me from climbing.

When my feet touched the ground on the other side, I found out that the texture of the road is different.

Slimy and Sticky.

This disgusting feeling is really bad and every step that I make makes a "splotch" sound. Although it sounded disgusting to my ears, I disregarded it as I scan the whole place.

The buildings are covered with slime as usual but it has a brighter tinge of slime and not the pale version we saw outside the cobweb barrier.

After making sure that the slimes outside the building are safe to interact, I did not dawdle anymore and moved towards the convenience store.

The glass door no longer works as it functions and it was melted beyond recognition, which made a natural blockage to the doorway. However, the rest of the glass wall are not melted, only cracks. Looks like it managed to last long enough on the assault that the undead unleashed during the first day.

I don't have a hammer with me but I can destroy the glass with stones. With those debris on the ground, destroying the glass wall is just something you can do even though you are crippled.

Crash!

The stone that I have thrown into the glass wall pass through, destroying the cracked wall of glass easily. After making sure that there are no more shards that can harm me if I passed through, I used this newly made passage to get in.

The convenience store is not covered in slime but the shelves' displays are all scattered and the other glass products also fell. What I noticed is that, this place is still intact and without any sign that a looting took place here. There are lots of food, water and other necessities here which can be used without problem.

But I found it strange for this place to get safe in looting. Most people would dare to loot a guarded place, what is more, an abandoned Convenience store like this. I don't see any sign that the store is looted even once.

I checked around the place for traces of movement here. If there are traces of movement, I really had to be careful.

However, I don't see any except for those obvious marks that happened a few days ago.

I didn't touch the food for now and decided to check the hatch where the armory of weapons are located here. Kato led me there before we parted ways so this place must also be safe right?

The backdoor leading to the hatch is locked. I still remember that Kato locked it before he goes down the hatch. This place is also untouched huh?

I pulled out my lock pick in my keys on my belt and inserted the lock pick on the keyhole. A few twist and turns on the keyhole would do.

Chk, chk, chk

Clack!

There! Its open! My lockpicking skill still did not get rusty at all. It only needs seconds for me to properly open a lock.

I turned the know open and reveals the hatch that did not change at all. I did not get to check this room when the outbreak started but now that I am here, I think I found something else. Its another door. O did not notice this before but I felt curious on this door...

The guns can wait, I will take a look first what is beyond this door.
