Finally, the rest got to work leaving Ryver and Jacob standing at the hall way.
"Thanks you." Although he said this, his expression was still cold.
"For what?" Ryver asked, still slight amused by him.
"For taking care of the zombies or the situation would have gotten alot worse than this." Jacob seem like the type to know when to be grateful and when to be ruthless. Ryver was suitable impressed. Jacob might just have the qualities of becoming a leader, but he wasn't very ruthless.
"What are you going to do about Jonathan?" Ryver diverted the topic.
"I'm going to find him, and when I do, that scum will pay for his crimes." Jacob said grimly.
Ryver nodded and didn't say anymore as he headed for the locked stair door.
"Where are you headed to?"
"To gather evolution points." With that, Ryver closed the door behind him and headed for ground floor. His main objective is to clear the garage. He had cleared the ground floor main hall from all zombies, garnering an impressive amount of radiation which rewarded him with lots and lots of evolution points.
But Ryver was very careful, the ground floor was connected to the garage by a single door, he didn't want to be attacked from behind, which is why he wanted to clear out the ground floor again from zombies that may have wandered inside.
After a few minutes, the iron door to the ground floor opened and Ryver walked out of it. He was right, there were a few zombies that had managed to walk into the company. And as soon as they spotted him, they made their weird roar and attacked.
Using his two axe, Ryver took care of them easily. He checked around and two others popped up from the sound of fighting. He also took care of those easily and when he saw the pace was empty, Ryver turned to leave.
From the corner of his eyes, Ryver spotted the corpse of the Mutated Rat lying in the pool of its own sticky and half dried blood, but he paused, the position of the Mutated Rat had moved. And he could see foot prints marked with the blood of the beast heading out of the company.
"Jonathan." Ryver whispered but he noticed something strange. The head of the mutated rat had a huge bloody hole in it. Which was obviously not caused by Ryver when he killed it, which meant it was someone else who had done it; possibly Jonathan.
But why would he dig up the head though? What was he searching for?
"Scan Target."
[Target scanned... ]
[Type 1 Mutated Rat Corpse]
[Information: Mutated Rat contains large amount of radiation which help mutate the cells within the body. Upon its death, large amounts uncontaminated radiation will gather at its core to form a Nuclei]
[Nuclei contains evolution points ranging from 1 evolution points to 10 evolution points depending on chance.]
[There is also a 1.0 percent chance Nuclei contains its beastly ancestoral genome. Meaning there's a one percent chance of gaining a skill or technique from a Nuclei]
As this information assimilates within Ryver, he felt as though he had swallowed a fly, finding it difficult to settle down.
He couldn't believe after killing such the beast with difficulty, someone else took the gain for his work.
His knuckles cracked as his bones popped. As an incredibly petty person, there's no way he would let this go. Someone has just stolen from him and he wasn't just going to drop this matter as it is.
Looking down at the fading blooded footprint, it was would be very easy to track Jonathan down, but Ryver didn't immediately leave. He controlled his anger and his thoughts process ran through.
Ryver made a few speculations. Jonathan left the premises of the company even with the Licker lurking out there because if there's even a slim chance Jacob or the others managed to escape the ambush, they will come for him and with Katniss's character, she would definitely make him wish he was dead instead.
The second reason is probably because he had gotten a nuclei . But he would need somewhere decent to injest the nuclei which meant that he would not be too far away from here.
Ryver bent in the floor, touching the foot print. Then his eyes turned cold. The footprint was three hours old. Which meant he had likely injested the nuclei within the place he had selected.
With Jaws clenched, he turned away and headed for the garage. He needed to reach at least 10 points in strength and in agility before he might have a chance to stand against Licker that is if it hadn't already evolved yet.
Although collapsed, half of the garage was still intact letting the zombies climb through the debris roaming about in the garage.
The place was too spacious, and there was a possibility of the zombies surrounded him, he would be trapped with no escape route. But he didn't plan on backing away anyway. Go big or die trying.
"Increase strength by five points." Ryver was very decisive in his tone.
[Strength +5]
[Ryver Mvcyger] | [Sex: male] [Age: 28] | [Strength: 7.0] | [Agility: 7.0] | [Vitality: 4.0] | [Evo points: 0.8]
Rumble!
In just a split second, he felt his muscles become stronger but at the same time softer. His skin hardening while at the same time flexible. Ryver felt as if lightning flashed in his body, giving him a slight itch that soon spread to his entire body and then disappeared in a flash.
He clenched his fist and he felt an enormous amount of strength coursing through his veins. This is what ir feels like having the strength of seven men within him.
He went to a nearby pillar and abruptly released a punch.
Bang!
One side of the pillar exploded to dust, scattering marbles and dust debris over the place. Ignoring the bride he had gotten, he flexed his muscles.
"I wonder what the nuclei looks like." He muttered softly, his gas mask making it sound autotoned almost robotic.
