Feeling the glove squirm as its tentacles dug dewpp inside his bones sucked on his blood, Ryver's frown deepened.
"Status."

[WARNING: Evacuate the Environment or use a Gasmask! The air is poisonous!!! ]
[Report: Due to the nuclear explosion, Radiation within the environment has risen to an extreme level (500rads).]
[Host is inhaling 0.5 units of radiation per second. If this continues, the cells within the body will slowly mutate uncontrollably and within 4 days of continuous absorption, the host's body will fail and death!]
[Verdict: You're twice as healthy as a normal human. ]
His vitality had actually reduced. Although it was only by 0.01, Ryver was annoyed. He wasn't someone who could absorb the special radiation so every bit of attribute matters to him.
Ryver's eyes focused on [Blood Item] and it immediately expanded as explanations appeared.
[Blood Items; Items requiring vitality to equip and activate.]
[Note: Vitality won't be lost permanently and can replenished by consuming food or Nucleus. But if blood items are abused, there's a chance of losing vitality permanently]
Ryver inhaled deeply in relief. Luckily he only needed to eat to replenish his vitality. He was only worried how much vitality it would use up to activate the shield.
He then turned his gaze towards the Plexus and it expanded.
[Plexus: Contains dense amounts of energy. Can also be used as a form of currency]
Ryver only thought for a second before placing the 100 plexus coins into his bag. They didn't look like coins, more like creepy looking finger-nail sized stones with faint rainbow colours swimming within them.
Sadly, he didn't receive any loot from the other zombies.
Ryver continued downwards meeting two zombies. The two zombies immediately growled and leapt at him simultaneously. Ryver knocked the first one backwards while he evaded to the side, avoiding the last zombies' lunge, he slashed his axe at the back of its skull, fracturing it into multiple pieces.
The zombie that has been kicked backwards growled as it recovered its footing. Rushing forwards, it was immediately sent backwards by Ryver's axe.
Ryver withdrew his combat knive and went ahead to finish the two zombies he had taken care of with the axe.
While the axe was sharp, it sometimes only damaged their brains enough to incapacitate them, he does the final killing with his combat knives.
He had only just taken care of five other zombies when the corpses of the dead started twitching and another five zombies came rushing at him. Ryver bent down immediately and circled back, making the zombies lose sight of him.
"Raaaugh! "
They snarled aimlessly at the air and stood where he was previously.
"Bang!"
The fire axe struck against the first zombie's skull sending it flying backwards.
"Boom!"
Ryver kicked at the second zombie, temporarily incapacitating it.
"Whoosh!"
He dodged the swipe of the next zombie, kicking the back of its legs as it knelt to the ground and driving his knife into its skull.
"Tong!"
His left hand released a sound similar to guitar strings as the sharp rod in his palm flew forwards, piercing through the eyes of the fourth zombie and into its skull.
The last zombie took the opportunity to claw at Ryver's shoulder. Sensing the danger, Ryver fell to the side, closely dodging the swipe.
With his hands on the ground and his legs in air, he exerted strength and twisted his waist.
With a bam sound, he kicked forcefully at the neck of the zombie, instantly fracturing the spinal cord.
His right leg kicked at the zombie's body and his own body rolled backwards in the process.
The second zombie he had kicked backwards previously jumped at him.
But Ryver had already stumbled backwards. The zombie slumped to the ground. And Ryver wasted no time stomping the zombie's skull repeatedly until it was completely dead with its brain squashed to the ground like a watermelon.
Grabbing his knife, he stabbed his knife straight at the zombie who was still struggling to stand up, driving his blade into its fractured skull.
"It's been so long." Although this wasn't as satisfactory as when he killed people, there was this slight thrill he got from their death.
This place was finally free of zombies, at least this part of the second floor. Cleaning his blade and the axe with the corpse's clothes, he saw that one of them was a guard, Ryver flipped its body over and was disappointed. The guard only had a Taser Gun within its holster. Ryver threw it aside since it was useless to him but he grabbed the remote car key hanging from its waist.
He noticed his notification was blinking red in a specific pattern.
[Twenty-one new notifications.]
"Open Notifications." Ryver said, storing the car key in his pocket.
[You eliminated a zombie]
[You eliminated a zombie]
[You eliminated a zombie] ...
[DecaKill (×2) 0.20 Evolution points extracted ] * New *
Ryver was about to dismiss the notifications when he spotted the last notification.
'DecaKill?' His sight lingered on the notification and it immediately expanded.
[DecaKill: Eliminating ten opponents of the same level within the span of five seconds produces massive amount of radiation for a short period of time, activate, extracting even more Evolution points from the kills.]
Ryver immediately started thinking. The first Decakill should have activated when he killed those zombies on the stairs and the second one should be now, he had eliminated the thirteen zombies within this part of the floor in a short period of time, activating the second Decakill.
[Error!!! Host's body is incapable of absorbing this type of energy. Order #2900A*u5TpY eliminated from user's interface. ]
Seeing thew error, Ryver's expression remained indifferent as he continued.
"Clear notification and open status." Ryver immediately dismissed the notifications, eager to see his new status.

Checking his other notification for the zombies he had killed earlier.
[You have looted nucleus.]
[10x fold return has been successfully triggered!]
[You have received Mutated Nexus!]
[Search body to receive loot.]
[You have looted nucleus.]
[100x fold return has been successfully triggered!]
[You have received tier-1 Nexus!]
[Search body to receive loot.]
"You have looted 1 plexus coins .]
[10x fold return has been successfully triggered!]
[You have received 10 plexus coins!]
[Search body to receive loot.]
This time, Ryver looted 7 Nexus and 10 Plexus coins...
It was becoming rare to see 100x and above with killing zombies. But with living humans, the chance seem to be pretty high.
Ryver chuckled silently and began searching the body for his Nexuses.
Upgrading to the next level seems to be more difficult than he had thought. He had killed more than thirty zombies, but the amount of Nexus he found was barely enough to increase his attribute by one.
Still, Ryver didn't care about that. He also didn't chew the Nexus and immediately. Since his body go out of control after eating them, he wasn't willing to risk it here.
Currently, Ryver has an overall power unit of 4, barely entering 5 and the same could be said for the zombies.
Ryver went to the edge of the second floor and saw a zombie which was previously the security personnel on the ground floor.
A thought occured in his mind and he peered through the glass as he gazed at the guard zombie.
"View target's stats."
[Name: Unknown]
[Type: Infected Corpse]
[Sex: male]
[Age: 37]
[Strength: 1.20]
[Agility: 1.1]
[Vitality: ∞ ]
[Poisonous Teeth :1]
[Poisonous Nails :1]
[Overall Power: 4(∞) units]
[Warning: Lifeform is extremely dangerous!]
[Recommendation: Host should immediately move at least 50 meters away.]
Ryver was slightly surprised he could see the stats of the guard zombie.
Its overall powerpoint is equal to his own. But this was the first time he was seeing something with an infinite vitality.
He didn't know what to make of that yet.
The zombies on this part of the floor have all been cleared by someone else, giving Ryver a clean path that he could take to the garage.
Since the ground floor is littered with lots of zombies, the garage should contain fewer zombies. Not many people would be at the garage before the apocalypse.
He withdrew a car key he had retrieved from a corpse as he headed to the garage. He stood before a large iron door, very slowly, he opened the door and peeked through the crack.
