Awesome, it works! That's a pretty nice power-up, and there are still a couple more hearts that I can consume.
< 4 standard zombie hearts consumed >
< Strength 5+, Dexterity 4+, Agility 6+, Vitality 3+, Stamina 4+ >

That's a hefty amount of stat points, I should be much better off now.

Probably should go kill some other zombies by now, should be easier with these stats. My dexterity went up and my hands got more control now compared to before.
" Grrr... Ghurrr.. "
" Gggghhhh.. Ghrrrr.. "
" Grrr.. Gghhh.. "
I must have good luck I guess? There were still zombies nearby after all. They shouldn't pose much of a threat since standard-level zombies don't have intellect. Only the ones with cores have some level of intellect.
[Yellow core, orange core, red core, blue core, cyan core, purple core, black core ]
Each of these stages has the initial, mid, and advanced levels.
I walked to the street in front of me, with vines and forestations covering the entire buildings.
Initially, the zombie took notice of me, and looked as of they were about to do something but since I'm also technically a zombie now, they just went back and did their " business ". Which is just standing there doing absolutely nothing.
This is good for me since there are so many zombies here. I can just keep getting stronger until I can go find Mei.
" Ghaaarrr... *CHOMP* "
Blood violently gushed out of the zombie's neck as I bit into it to get the kill.
< Ding! 85 XP gained. >
Hmm.. I need 15 more XP to get to level 2. I'll just keep killing them and eating their hearts. I wonder how much I'll benefit from this.

Huaaah.. I've been eating non-stop till now, ha? I can't earn any more stat points from eating standard zombie hearts now?
< You've developed a resistance to standard zombie hearts. It won't be able to give you stat points anymore. >
Ah great.. now I won't be able to get easy stat points. I'll have to do with leveling up now I guess..
Hmmm.. Status window.

Not bad, not bad at all. It seems like we're off to a really good start. Nothing could go wrong right?
With optimism, I strolled through the masses of zombies and tried to find better prey since my stats are a lot higher than before.
In a distance I saw a tall figure, almost 2.5m tall. Which was huge compared to my height which was around 176cm. Brimming with confidence, I slowly walked towards the figure and bit on it expecting nothing as I am also a zombie.
...
< Mutant Zombie detected. Stage : Yellow core stage >
Oh boy was I wrong. The zombie looked down over me and roared in anger and tried to grab me. I dodged and knowing that I made a fatal mistake and had to act fast, I quickly ran into the masses.
...
Faster..! Faster! That thing is really mad!!
" ROAAAARRRR!!! "
It was running steadfast behind me, not willing to let me off the hook.
BAMMM!!
It punched my back with its long arms and sent me flying limp into one of the building walls.
" Grr.. grr.. "
Ugh..
< 48 Damage taken. >
< Health : 42/90 >
Damnit, I have to run into the building before this thing charges at me and finishes me off.
I quickly got up and darted into the building with my limp zombie body. Despite having not-so-great control, I still had speed due to my high agility stats.
" GHRRAAAAAHHH!! "
Holy, it made its way in already?
Just then, I saw a ditch with weak flooring looking as if it was going to collapse anytime soon. With the mutant zombie still chasing me closely from behind and is catching up, I had to take the gamble.
I dashed towards the hall with the weak-looking flooring and jumped as hard as I could with my legs.
POOF!
" GUAAAARRRHHH!! "
Creak.. BOOM!
Haa.. phew- It's over.. I almost died on my first day..
< Mutant yellow core zombie has been killed. >
< Ding! You've leveled up to level 8! >
Holy crap! My level jumped by 5 levels?!!
I looked down and saw the zombie impaled with wooden spikes laid across under the collapsed floor.
Hmm.. It looks like this was a trap that hunters set up to hunt down yellow core zombies, man how lucky was I to find this here.. anyways, I have to get that thing's core.
I slowly climbed down the ditch and touched the ground. Slowly moving my feet through the spikes laid across the place and finally reached the corpse. I then forced my hand with sharp nails into the hard skin of the corpse and tore through its chest cavity.
There, laid a small shiny yellow gem. About 2.5cm in diameter. I quickly grabbed it and put it in my hand.
