Chereads / Infinity: Beyond's Journey / Chapter 9 - First Fight

Chapter 9 - First Fight

After some time planning Arman formed a decent plan for clearing the zombies.

Firstly he decided to lock the door to the lower floors and start clearing the zombies from the floor above him.

He also decided to close off the other upper floor doors so that the zombies won't have reinforcement's from the upper floors.

After deciding he went ahead and started to implement his plan.

First he swiftly went to the lower floors and closed the doors and made sure that no zombies could come through them.

Afterwards he silently made his way to the upper floors doorway and entered it.

Upon entering the upper floor he saw a long corridor where he was greeted with a very bad smell of decayed and rotting corpse's and dried blood. Along with the gruesome sight of severed body parts and organs everywhere with blood splattered all over the place.

Walking silently along the corridor towards the upper floor doors he heard alot of movements and grueling sounds from some of the rooms which he swiftly closed to make sure no mishaps happen during the execution of his plan.

After some time he came to a bending in the corridor where he heard some movements and stopped his movements. He then crouched down and looked through the bending and there he saw two zombies with pale gray and malnourished almost skeletal bodies with dim red eyes walking aimlessly. Seeing the two zombies he instantly used Origin Eyes to view their details.

While Arman was looking at the info of the zombies the zombies seemed to have sensed Arman's location and started running frantically towards his location. 

Seeing the charging zombies coming towards him Arman immediately equipped the kitchen knife that he took from his room and dashed towards the zombies.

As Arman's stats were higher compared to the zombies he was able to reach them easily and quickly and swiftly sliced towards the first zombie.

Even though the kitchen was rusted and of poor quality it still sliced the head of the zombie easily due to the sheer strength of Arman's swing die to his high stats.

While the zombies head was still falling to the ground the second zombies was already near him and was ready to bite him but at that same moment Arman swiftly sidestepped and swung his knife at the zombie and due to the help of the zombies momentum during its charged it's head was also easily sliced through with minimal effort.

This battle was handled very easily by Arman without him even needing to break his sweat due to his excellent combat experience he accumulated in his olden days as a law enforcer.

Experiencing his first battle with the zombies he didn't feel agitated or arrogant at all seeing their and his stat disparity but instead he maintained a clam demeanor with a hint of excitement clearing visible in his eyes.

He felt some excitement with his first battle, an emotion that he had not felt in quite a while since his law enforcer days. He felt as if he was finally where he should belong to and that place being the countless different planes and even the originator plane where he is given a chance to rise to the top with endless competition from everyone and everything. It was like he was finally back to being himself after living under the shadow of someone else for a long time.

Pulling himself back from his state of excitement he continued along the corridor and eventually reached the end of the floor where the door to the upper floor was located.

After reaching the door he closed it in the same way he closed the lower floors door and adjusted himself for the battle or to be more precise slaughter as comparing his stats and the zombies stats there was no better way to describe it than a complete one sided slaughter.

After adjusting himself he started entering all the rooms and doors where he heard movement from and started slashing his knife and with every slash of his knife a head will fell down.

He went to all the places where he heard movement form on this floor and left a trail of headless bodies of zombies behind him.

Soon he slaughtered all the zombies of this floor and after some rest started his way to the upper floors using the same strategy he used to solve his current floor.

Continuing his slaughter upwards he went all the way to the 25th floor with a massive pile of bodies left behind him in every floor. After reaching the 25th floor and clearing all the zombies hidden in this floor he went towards the rooftop and walking near the door of the rooftop he heard heaving footsteps sound outside the door as if a massive body was walking around.

Hearing the sound Arman paused for a moment and through a small peephole in the door he decided to observe the situation of the roof.

Looking through the peephole he saw a super fat zombie walking around the rooftop with a heavy chain in its hand. Arman immediately activated Origin Eyes and checked its stats.
