Equipped with the powerful laser pistol and laser sword, Drey moved with newfound confidence through the desolate city streets. The deadly precision of his strikes made cutting down the zombies a swift and efficient task. It was as if the weapons were an extension of his own body, allowing him to move with grace and dispatch his foes with ease.
Drey also noticed that he became more powerful, his speed and strength increased beyond human capabilities, and it was not stepping there. With every kill he does, his capability is slightly increasing.
As Drey continued his journey, he noticed a significant increase in the quality of drops from defeated zombies. Energy cells, crucial for powering his laser weapons, now appeared more frequently among the spoils. Aegis chimed in, providing an explanation. "Drey, as your skills and power grow, so does the value of the drops you receive. The system recognizes your prowess and rewards you accordingly. Also, as zombies evolve, it will also help increase the quality and quantity of the drops."
The realization of his own progression both thrilled and startled Drey. He had come a long way from the scared survivor he once was. However, his astonishment was momentarily interrupted when he noticed normal zombies jogging instead of their usual sluggish pace. The sight caught him off guard, reminding him of the ever-evolving nature of the undead threat.
Undeterred, Drey pressed forward, his determination unwavering. There were three more cities to traverse before he could reach his family, and he had arrived at O City. The abandoned streets were devoid of survivors, with only the relentless horde of zombies as his company. With his laser weapons at the ready, Drey sliced through the oncoming undead with precision and speed.
After hours of relentless battle, Drey stumbled upon a massive mall, standing as a lone sentinel amidst the decaying cityscape. Weary from his journey, he decided to seek refuge within its walls, hoping to find a temporary relaxation from the ceaseless chaos outside.
Inside the mall, Drey cautiously navigated the dimly lit corridors, his senses heightened. The hushed silence echoed through the empty hallways, adding an eerie atmosphere to the surroundings.
The mall was surprisingly empty, Aegis confirmed it using her scanner. He found a secure spot, away from prying eyes, and settled down to rest, his mind preoccupied with thoughts of his family and the challenges that lay ahead.
As Drey's body relaxed and his eyes closed, he knew that this was just a brief pause in his relentless pursuit. Rested and recharged, he would soon continue his journey through the remaining cities, determined to reunite with his loved ones and ensure their safety in this unforgiving world.
