Chapter 17

To simplify the identification of monsters, there were corresponding abbreviations:

For example, power zombies up to level 10 are L0, after 10th L1, after 20th L2, and so on.

Zombies that are throwing fireballs, respectively H, acid K, flying W, ghouls and other mutations of four-legged S, a zombie that can control other zombies Z, there are other various mutations, but there were not many of them or for other reasons their classifications were not assigned yet.

It is also mentioned that not only people, but all types of animals received spirituality, by this time, even people who did not kill zombies at all receive their first spirituality and status, although cases are still rare and it started recently, but most likely gradually will be distributed. About insects not specified.

From now on, humans and beasts will also be classified, up to level 10, type 0, after level 10 type 1, after 20, type 2, and so on.

The government found cores in the bodies of animals and zombies above level 10, it was mentioned that these cores were smaller than a fingernail. Whether there were any ways to use them is not specified, but the government was willing to buy them at a high price.

The booklet was clearly released recently, overall, the booklet gave general useful information and at the same time raised the government in the eyes of the survivors, called for unification and the struggle for survival.

Interestingly, there was no information about the Reaper, and after meeting with Morris it became clear that the reapers are quite special, of course, after killing the skeleton, Sam did not notice anything special in his remains, and the skeleton, although it was quite strong, was was just rubbish compared to the weapon.

Obviously that Morris wanted the sword badly. Perhaps Morris or some other big dick in the government managed to get another reaper and maybe even found out something special about this weapon. He will have to do more tests later.

Sam was also a little offended that he missed at least two cores, he met two supposedly L1s, but did not check their bodies.

Considering the situation with the government, his way to their camps is now forbidden, of course Sam has not had his hair cut or shaved for a long time, if he does this and changes clothes, it will be quite difficult to recognize him, especially since, apparently, the government now has a lot of swords. But Sam saw different skills at level 5 and there could well be an identification skill or something like that.

Sam had several options, either to go completely into the forests and live in the wild, or set up his own little camp somewhere, or find someone else's camp and take it over.

In fact, the last option is the most effective, he will immediately receive all the resources of the camp, including human resources, as well as a lot of experience for those who resist. The only negative is of course the risk, and as you know, Sam is a coward, and he did not like to take risks.

He had nothing of value at home, he could find food, water and clothes everywhere, so Sam decided not to risk it and not return home, since it was still afternoon, Sam had enough time to find a new home and everything he needed.

Sam hid the booklet and went to find granny. She stayed in the neighboring apartment, had already managed to have a bite to eat and collect food in her bag, Sam gave her the keys to her apartment and wished her luck.

Soon, he found everything he needed, after which he climbed into another apartment, ate, shaved, cut his hair short and even took a shower. After changing his clothes, he looked at himself in the mirror. If earlier he looked older than his age, now he is rather younger, the only thing that betrayed him was his sparse gray hair, although it was not striking. And of course the fact that he himself was, to put it mildly, not particularly attractive.

Sam headed to the area where the country houses of wealthy people supposedly were, no matter how seedy this city was, there are rich people everywhere. Of course, he was in no hurry and continued hunting along the way.

On the way, Sam met S1, this one was somewhat reminiscent of hunters from resident evil, since he was alone, Sam did not really worry and entered the battle, this monster no longer jumped on Sam directly like smaller brothers, he jumped on the wall of the building next to Sam and attacked with his tongue, Sam could not dodge, but thanks to the armor, he did not receive damage and immediately cut off his tongue with his new sword.

The monster screeched, Sam tried to attack, but S1 dodged and struck a counter blow with his paw, Sam blocked the thrust with another sword and swung again, but the monster again managed to stay intact. Sam got tired of dancing with him and he insolently ran into the monster, ignoring the defense and swinging swords, after ten seconds, he cut it into pieces.

This time Sam carefully examined the monster and found the so-called core, the core turned out to be in the monster's chest, and looked like a miniature ball, smaller than a pinky fingernail, of a pale gray color.

Sam put the core aside for now and moved on. Although he successfully killed people, he still decided that in the long term, it was too dangerous to do. Previously, he was lucky, and he almost never met people with weapons. But sooner or later, a grenade or a rocket can fly at him, who knows. In general, killing people is certainly very effective, but you should not get carried away with it. Better to try to switch to animals, in theory it will be safer.
