The Given Place

They were originally inside a building. So what awaited behind that door was a corridor, that was now cramped by the presence of zombies that had evolved to be three meters tall.

But when they become that big, this corridor would restrict their movement.

Taking advantage of the situation and what Lola had revealed about what was happening thirty seconds from now. Leon, Albert, Wiley, and Rosie began their consecutive attacks.

The humans who were now players made good use of the power of their Private Attributes.

After struggling with hardships before, they were finally able to gain a better understanding of the power of their Private Attributes.

Although they still can't use it perfectly, but at least it's enough to keep them alive.

Leon swung his machete with all his might without fear of anything.

He was leading at the very front, and Rosie was next to him.

The several sharp blades of the zombies that were located at the ends of their flesh tentacles swung at Leon with great force.

However, the sharp blades couldn't hurt him in the slightest. The sharp blades seemed to just hit a very strong wall.

Meanwhile, Rosie blocked the sharp-bladed tentacles with electricity surging from all over her body.

The electricity surrounded Rosie's body like armor and repelled all attacks aimed at her.

The tentacles heading towards Rosie were electrocuted and scorched then fell limply.

Because of that, Rosie could attack blindly without paying attention to her surroundings.

Because of that defensive power, the two of them became the ones who were at the forefront.

Meanwhile, the others stood at the back to launch their attack at the right time.

Albert has the power of the Private Attribute which allows him to turn his body transparent. In that phase, Albert will not be able to get hit.

He can also penetrate solid objects with ease. That's what makes him the right person for scouting.

After Albert uses his powers, he goes through Rosie's body.

Once he was in front of Rosie, Albert turned his body into a solid body again and jumped, then he swung his dagger at the neck of a zombie.

*SRAATTT!*

The dagger managed to slash the zombie's neck. But that's not enough to kill it.

At the very least, Albert had to separate the zombie's head from its body to kill it.

But the zombie was already swinging its huge, blade-ridden arm at Albert.

So Albert changed his body to be transparent again so the zombie's hand just pass through him.

After the rotten hand pass through Albert's body and hit the wall next to him, Albert made his body solid again and jumped. Then slash his dagger again.

*SRAATTT!*

This time he managed to cut the zombie's neck off.

Its head which was rotten and covered with small blades fell on the floor and Albert gained experience from it.

Wiley who looked hesitant peeked from behind Leon. He then threw a purplish blob he had created seconds before.

When the purple blob hits one of the zombies that it targets, the purple color spreads over the zombie's body rapidly.

With the power of his Private Attribute, Wiley can create some kind of purplish blob. The blob has the power to rot and poison anyone unlucky enough to get touched by it.

With that kind of power, Wiley could drastically weaken an enemy. However, he couldn't kill them outright.

Because of that Leon immediately slashed the machete at the zombie who had been hit by Wiley's purple blob.

Leon's machete can easily slash the leg of the zombie. After it fell, Leon slashed its neck until its head was severed.

Wiley's private attribute also allows him to attack from behind and protect himself against direct attacks.

It suited his reluctant-to-fight personality perfectly.

Wiley took cover behind along with Lola.

The young girl looked even scarier than Wiley. As a man and an elder, it was Wiley's responsibility to protect Lola.

Wiley was a coward. But that doesn't mean he's a lowly loser.

They proceed to leave the building with the same tactic.

This tactic is very effective because some function as tanks and damage dealers.

Besides that Lola who can see the future for thirty seconds is also a useful support.

Lola uses her powers when the opportunity arises. For example when there aren't many zombies around. Or when they find a pretty good hiding spot.

Unfortunately, Lola's Magic Power wasn't high enough to overuse it.

So they all had to think carefully before ordering Lola to use her powers.

The group of five managed to get out of the building where they had been hiding before.

Outside the building, they encountered a few zombies but the numbers weren't as bad as they had expected. It's just that their body size is very huge.

"If we don't get the proper rewards after going through all this, I'll beat up whoever comes to give a Quest tonight!"

Wiley groaned as he continued to run behind, he had already created a purple blob in his hand.

His Magic Power already running low, Wiley could clearly feel it.

He was now filled with feelings of uneasiness and fear. Wiley will tend to fuss if he's feeling agitated or scared.

The rest of the group ignored him because they didn't have time to deal with Wiley's grunts.

After a few minutes, they finally arrived at the given place.

The place is a gas station. According to the directions given, the Supply Cache is in the supermarket next to the gas station.

They all breathed a sigh of relief that there were no zombies there.

"Don't let your guard down," Leon said.

His group members immediately knew what he meant.

Even though from here the situation looks safe because there are no zombies. But that is not reasonable for the situation that is happening now.

How come there are no zombies when the zombie apocalypse is in progress?

Unless something else is waiting for them near that Supply Cache.

They approached the gas station with full vigilance around.
