"Damn, I was too naive." Going up to the second floor since the first had turned into a sea of flames, Alex despite all the heat was sweating cold.
For three hours his strategy had worked, he trained with his gravity skill and occasionally an imp would enter the building for him to kill.
However, it was already 6 o'clock in the morning and the sun was rising, he was sitting quietly on the stairs of the first floor, when suddenly an explosion in front of the building threw him backwards.
The explosion did not seem to be for him, but even so it affected the entire first floor, Alexander only survived because he was very far from the entrance, and I managed to climb to the second floor.
"Shit, but what was that." Looking out the apartment window, he saw something that made his knees go weak.
In the middle of the street what appeared to be a grown imp is present, this "grown" imp seemed to be the same size as him and had two black wings on his back, in addition, huge balls of fire floated around the monster.
"Is that an orc?" Staring dazedly at a 10-foot-tall being full of muscle, Alex didn't know how to feel.
The two monsters were fighting and wherever they went they caused destruction, the orc, who used his fists to fight, caused huge waves of wind with his punch.
The already grown imp launched many balls of fire and flew, bringing many difficulties to the orc that had the skin full of burns.
The two didn't stay still and soon entered a building and disappeared from Alexander's sight.
Alex couldn't even complain when smoke began to dominate the second floor, that's when he remembered the inferno of flames below him.
"I need to run." Heading towards the third floor, Alexander thought about how he could get out of the building.
"Maybe…" with a crazy idea, Alexander reached the third floor and looked out the window, there he could see the floor.
"Probably 15 to 20 meters." Obviously, if he jumped his legs would at the very least break.
But looking at the second floor that had already started to burn, Alexander had no options.
Despite this he not only jumped, creating a sphere of gravity around himself, Alexander jumped through the window and began to fall towards the ground.
-haaaaaa- when Alex got close enough to the ground he dropped the gravity to zero and a few centimeters from the ground he started to float.
"Damn, that was close." Taking a deep breath, Alexander released the bubble of gravity that was around him.
"It seems that training for several hours was not in vain." Thanking his past self, Alexander saw that the street despite having many rubble, broken cars and some areas full of fire did not have any monsters.
"Probably those two wretches, they drove everyone away with their fight."
Deciding to leave the hellish street, Alex already knew where he would go, after all he stayed the whole night thinking about what to do.
Currently, he was in Guanshanhu district, he needed to go to the next district which is half an hour away, after that he needed to find a map, after all he didn't remember how to get to Wuhan province.

Alexander only made it two streets before he encountered a scene that made his scalp crawl.
"Corpses and what are those?" In the middle of the street Alexander can see a pile of human corpses and several other monsters, and around the corpses he can see 2 meters tall monsters with heads of bones commanded, zombies?
He says zombies because, most of the monsters that were roaming the street were imps, humans and even some pets like cats or dogs, all looking like walking corpses since they had various body parts missing or fatal injuries.
As he watched this scene that caused him anxiety, he finally understood why his building had no corpses.
"These monsters are probably creating zombies." His theory was confirmed when he saw one of the skull-faced monsters create a huge dome of darkness around the corpses.
The dome lasted a few seconds and when it dissipated all the corpses came to life.
Looking at the crowd of monsters, Alexander didn't dare to stand still anymore, and he ran in the opposite direction with all his might.

-Die, you bastard.- Hitting with his club on the head of another zombie, Alexander wanted to finish him off, however, his club broke in half and more zombies entered through the door of the store.
Running through the aisles of the convenience store, Alexander frantically looked for something he could use as a weapon.
Soon he found a kitchen knife in the package, taking it out of the package he thought was better than nothing.
-huuckk- running towards you three zombies came, your objective? Your life.
Creating a gravity sphere big enough to fit the three of them, he increased the gravity to 20x, causing the three to fall to the ground, cracks were heard showing that the situation for the zombies was not good.
Alexander maintained this state for 5 seconds before his mana was depleted, however, it was enough to turn the zombies to pulp.
Soon they exploded into gray particles and entered his body.

After running away from the gruesome scene, he ran just a little bit before encountering several zombies walking down the street, he then entered the convenience store and bumped into yet another zombie, where the scene from behind unfolded.
Unfortunately, he couldn't stay in his thoughts as two more zombies entered the hall, one being the zombie he hit and the other an imp.
Alexander recognized the zombie due to its completely deformed face, already to recognize a common zombie Alexander sees by the completely black eyes, and the various parts of the body missing.
An example would be this imp that did not have an arm, however, it ran towards him without fear, not even his advantage [demon slayer] could stop him.
It didn't take long and the imp was the first to enter its reach, so with a kick in the face of the monster, Alexander threw it back.
At that point the zombie that was slower than the imp attacked him, however, Alexander used his knife and stabbed the monster's head.
He struggled, but with his 3 physical points, Alexander managed to hold him easily.
However, he forgot about the imp, which ended up launching itself on his back, and using its extremely sharp teeth bit into his collarbone.
-haaaaaa- with hatred in his eyes, Alexander used his hand and caught the horn of the imp, then with all his strength he threw it away.
Gripping his bleeding collarbone, Alexander walked up to the imp and stabbed him until he exploded into particles.

After killing them, Alexander now had a huge problem, his collarbone was bleeding and all due to an imp zombie.
"Fuck, I'm not going to turn into a zombie, right?!" Trying not to think about the worst case scenario, Alexander went in search of a first aid kit.
It took a while, but he found a kit behind the register, going to the staff room, he realized it was locked.
"I don't have time for this." Kicking the door hard, he opened it with relative ease.
When the door to the room was opened, he came across a girl holding a broomstick, the girl was shaking a lot as she pointed a broom at him.
Looking at the girl, she was a little chubby, had several freckles on her face, blue hair and green eyes.
Now she was crying and looked very scared.
-Calm down girl, I won't hurt you.- Trying to ignore her pain, Alexander tried to comfort the girl.
-you are a human.- the girl asked even with a trembling voice.
"I still think so." Closing the door behind him, Alexander grabbed a wooden table he had in the center of the room and used it to lock the door.
"It won't stop a zombie, but at least it will warn, so I have time to react"
Removing his backpack, overcoat, helmet then his shirt, Alexander didn't bother with the girl who seemed to be retching after seeing his horrific wound.
Picking up the first aid kit, he first grabbed the disinfectant and biting his lip threw it into the wound.
"Shit, this hurts too much." Blood oozed from his lips and his legs were wobbly from so much pain, however, he didn't scream or stop throwing the disinfectant.
After a while his wound stopped burning, so now he had to bandage it, however, his injury was making the situation difficult.
-I'll help you.- with a shaky voice, the chubby girl offered to help him.
Looking at her face for a moment, Alexander said, -thank you.-
