The storehouse where I had been for 6 days, was now destroyed, the red sky could be easily seen due to the missing roof, and several holes covered the walls of it.
Instead of staying idle, I activated Shadow Veil, and immediately as if I had just worn a cape, my whole body disappears.
I move away from the storehouse and start heading towards the nearest building, fighting zombies in the middle of the road, would be the stupidest thing I could do, even more, if those zombies had an enchanted hearing capability.
As soon as I got inside, a group of 4 zombies could be seen just staying still, not doing anything, staring at the void, maybe this world had finished his humans, so there is nothing to do for them.
I stop caring about such things and instead I take out my bow.
I knock the arrow, pull it, and.
---------------------------------------------
You have killed a higher-level zombie, double rewards.
+ 180 XP
---------------------------------------------
The instant the arrow pierced its skull the effect of Shadow Veil dissipated, revealing my position to the zombies, they immediately started walking towards me while growling.
I knock another arrow, but this time I try to infuse it with mana to add piercing effects to it.
The string of the bow is suddenly covered in blue, and the arrows also get covered with mana, their shape becoming longer and thinner as if it was a needle.
I shot the arrow, and as if it was a bullet it reaches the head of one of the zombies and passes right through it blocking only when it hit the wall, and it still pierced it.
Before the remaining two zombies could reach me I was able to shoot another arrow and kill one of the two.
The last one though was too near for me to kill it with a bow, so I take out my sword and ax, ready for the incoming melee battle.
What I didn't expect was when the zombie was only 3 meters away from me he lunged toward me at an impressive speed, completely running my plan.
Just as he was about to bite me, I activate Fast punch, hitting the zombie on his right side of the face, completely changing his trajectory.
With a now dislocated jaw, he tries to get back up, but before he could he receives an ax in his head.
The ax was sharp enough to not get stuck, so I easily remove it from its head and open my inventory to see if what I speculated was right.
'It is.' I said with a smile

Money(can be converted into all known currencies): 19034
---------------------------------------------
Before killing those zombies I had 18 thousand and something dollars, this means that zombies drop items as if they were normal enemies from games, perfect.
I put my melee weapons back in my inventory and I take out my bow, I then start to slowly move towards the stairs and get up from there, heading to the second floor, but before doing so, I take back the arrows from the wall and the body of the zombies, I don't have infinite ammo.
With each step I took, I stopped for 5 seconds, heard if anything changed, and then took another one.
By the time I had covered half of the stairs, I was finally able to pick up on something growling and slowly moving around.
I knock the arrow just to be sure and try to track the exact position of where the zombie will be when I reach the top of the stairs.
And thanks to my Tracking skill, which had just leveled up, I was able to know its exact position and future movements.
And stealthily moved to the top of the stairs and waited for the arrival of the zombie.
I pull the arrow and wait for 3 seconds, and I let it go.
The arrow travels toward the wall, and just as it was about to hit it, the head of a zombie pops out and gets hit by the arrow, dying instantly.
---------------------------------------------
+1 Per
---------------------------------------------
'Finally, a better way to train Per.' I thought while moving towards the body and taking the arrow from its head.
Suddenly, I feel something from behind, and instead of turning around, I roll forward, barely evading a sudden attack that would have slashed me in half but instead only slashed my back, removing 300 HP.
At the end of the tool, I turn towards the enemy, and take out my Sword and Ax, while coating them in mana, making them sharper than before.
Right in front of me, a zombie with thick legs, a visible skull, and with what looks like swords coming out of his arms is visible, while a blue glow covers my whole body.
The zombies twitch for a second and then dash again towards me, his speed higher than mine, but I was still able to keep up with my mind but not with my body.
Using its right arm it tries to slash toward my head, but I was able to evade a critical hit, instead, I get hit on the shoulder, the pain gets mitigated, and I am able to pierce the head of the zombie with my sword.
I expected it to die, but it instead tries to attack me again using its left arm, the arm fast, very fast, but before it could reach me, I use a Fast punch and hit the arm of the zombie, changing the route of the arm, and only making it able to barely cut my hair.
Not wanting to take a second chance, I smash my ax against the head of the zombie, finally killing it.
'Fuck, that was too close to my taste, his speed was way higher than normal, and he looked different from the normal zombies, don't tell that zombie can mutate? Or maybe even evolve?'
---------------------------------------------
You have killed a Higher level speed variant zombie
+400 XP
---------------------------------------------
' I was right, why do I have to be right?' I said while checking how much HP I had lost, and to my happiness, the two hits I had received had reduced my health to a bit lower than half.
'Fucking hell, let's wait for it to get back to max, and then I will continue, maybe in the meantime I can try shooting arrows from here at the zombies on the road, not a bad idea actually.'
