Ryver looked through the broken glass walls of the skyscraper down at the street. The entire street was in absolute chaos. Cars had smashed against each other from behind, exploding as they tumbled onto each other
Heavy trucks had been blasted into buildings, pieces of pedestrians littered the road below, while those that managed to survive the bombings were attacked by zombies like wolves jumping into a horde of sheeps.
The place was extremely chaotic, filled with blood, smoke and carnage. Humans begging and crying for mercy, praying for forgiveness to whoever may listen while some ran for cover. They were like headless chickens, trying to avoid death from the insatiable monsters that kept multiplying each second.
Ryver's eyes narrowed. He needed to get to Lyssa as quick as possible. Things are even more chaotic than he had expected. But first, he wanted to test his theory.
He swept his gaze at the closed offices. There were more than 20 private offices on this floor. The twenty private offices took the entire floor since they had their one personal bathroom, bedroom and toilets in there. This was the benefit of being a high ranking worker within the company. And the rooms were no less extravagant than a hotel.
Ryver took out his key card. This card allows him access to any offices from the first floor to the 70th floor. The other floor requires a higher level of clearance to access. Something which Ryver clearly didn't own.
The power had been cut off, but the backup generator wasn't affected by the bombs as it immediately started working.
He swiped his card at the platform. There was a clicking sound, the mechanism unlocked and the door opened wide.
Ryver quietly walked into the room and he was greeted with a very subtle but luxurious looking room. It looked comfy, a little untidy, but it was spacious.
Ryver was familiar with this room since this was his third time cleaning this floor in the past two months.
But there was no one in the bedroom. But Ryver was sure someone was within this room since there were pieces of clothing on the ground, heading to the bathroom. It seemed as though the person was in a hurry to use the bathroom.
Ryver paused slightly. The person within the room might not have transformed into a zombie. He had no idea about the zombification process. But he knew there was a 50 percent chance the person occupying this room wasn't a zombie.
Ryver didn't make a single sound, heading for the bathroom. It was then he heard the repeatedly banging sound from the bathroom door. The bathroom had been built to be soundproof. Nearly all the rooms had been built that way.
Noticed the repeated savage banging sounds from the bathroom. Ryver muttered. "Sure enough, it's a zombie."
He opened the door and a naked female zombie stumbled out from the bathroom.
Ryver closed the door, giving him more space as he went behind the zombie, he was about to stab the naked female zombie when he noticed something from the corner of his eyes.
Another zombie was actually also inside the bathroom. Ryver's pupils constricted. "An affair?"
He quickly rolled to the side, as he was upside down with his shoulder to the ground, he flung his blade at the female zombie's head, his roll completed, he stood up and retreated immediately.
The almost naked male zombie immediately followed him, groaning savagely in hunger, its speed a tad bit faster than a regular human.
Ryver could feel that the back of his overall clothing had been scratched, but his skin was unaffected. Otherwise, if he had been scratched, he might actually turn after a while.
The zombie was fast and it was just a few inches away from Ryver when he suddenly dropped to the ground, his legs trapped the zombie's feet between them as he turned, falling the zombie face flat to the ground. He stood quickly on his kneels and stabbed the zombie through the back of its neck.
He kicked at the male zombie's body and his body shifted backwards, avoiding the lunge from the naked female zombie who had gotten up.
The female zombie still had a blade stuck in her forehead. The force Ryver had thrown his blade wasn't enough to stab through its skull and got stuck in the skull bone.
As the female zombie fell to the ground, the handle of the Combat blade hit the ground, absorbing enough force to pierce through the skull, effectively killing the naked female zombie.
Ryver got up swiftly but saw the female zombie had stopped moving. In a while, he realised the reason. Removing his blades from the skull of the zombies, it proved a little difficult, but in a single yank, it was removed.
"Should have brought my gun." Ryver mumbled but he knew there was no way he would be able to get through security with a gun in the first place. The security within Mega-tech is super tight.
After making sure there weren't any more surprises, Ryver poured himself a glass of whiskey, opening his nose mask, he gulped down all of its content, he squinted and then groaned slightly in satisfaction. He then spoke after clicking his tongue.
"Open notification."

[ Ryver Mvcyger]
[Sex: male]
[Age: 28]
[Strength: 1.43(1)]
[Agility: 1.45(1)]
[Vitality: 1.9(1)]
[Evo Points: 0.10]
[Note: Evo point has met the conditions to be distributed.]
[Verdict: You can distribute Evo points freely to boost your three main attributes.]
Now, it hadn't gotten to this juncture. Ryver could finally distribute the Evo points to boost his attributes. He would finally figure out if he had been immersed in a virtual world or if he was truly in the real world. No matter how close a virtual world might be to the real world, it can never replicate the feeling of reaching two points in an attribute.
"Add 0.10 Evo points to vitality."
[Vitality 1.90… +0.01]
[Vitality 1.91… +0.01]
[Vitality 1.92… +0.01] ...
[Vitality 1.99… +0.01]
At first, Ryver felt nothing as the vitality attribute kept increasing by 0.01 but as his vitality attribute reached 1.97, he felt his body growing warmer and warmer. He could feel an intoxicating warm stream of energy flowing through his body rapidly like a snake. The current started increasing bit by bit as it circulated his body, increasing his attribute.
[Vitality 2.0]
Crash!
