Level up

Adrian pov

After giving some thought to how best to kill zombies, I decided that I'd rather just look for individual ones

I also have to study these zombies to see what they listen to or if they can see anything and the other stuff you know how it is

Ok let's first build up muscles and get stronger then I'll go out

I'd rather play it safe I've got a year to get stronger

I think we'll just start with 10 pushups 10 situps and 10 squads

If I can find them easily, I will add more and more until I can't take any more

[warning⚠ warning ⚠ 3 zombies are heading for your shelter]

Oh come on why now I wanted to play safe I hope they run past the house

[Attention a new task has appeared please complete it as soon as possible]

[Emergency task]

[Task]

[Kill the 3 zombies running towards your shelter] [Time: 10 minutes]

[Reward: 10 xp]

[Failure: you die]

And of course I had to say it in advance and now because of that i got myself into a mess now

I hope that the katana is not very broken

[Katana] [Rarity white]

[Used] [80%]

Fortunately, it is almost like new

I can work with it, I just need to practise so that I get better at it

Where exactly are the zombies?

I'm going to the balcony to see exactly where they come from

When I reached the top where the balcony is did i allready see 1 zombie going in my direction

Arriving on the balcony I see that all 3 zombies are coming from different directions

Ok the first one will probably be the one coming from the right who is the closest of the 3

After that I will take the first one I saw coming towards my house

And then the last one from the left is a bit to the side of my second target

Ok then let's go

Reader pov:

We see Adrian quietly opening the front door to get to the right zombie as quietly as possible

When he goes out of the door he hides directly behind a tree

He sneaks from tree to tree sometimes even a bush to avoid being seen by the zombie

When he was close enough he waited for the zombie to move a little further so that he could attack the zombie from behind

When the zombie is close enough adrian attacks it directly on the neck with his katana

And with that, the zombie is dead and Adrian has collected his first kill with his first xp

But because adrian never used a katana or any other type of sword the % bar dropped from [80%] to [75%]

This is not so bad, but in the long run it looks difficult to continue using the swords or other weapons like this

It's better to be good with it so you can kill more people/zombies and get more xp and ZYcoins.

So because we were just talking about such information we missed how adrian is already near the next zombie

He uses exactly the same tactics as before but the problem is now he realizes that the zombie is walking away from the bush where he is hiding.

This means either waiting or trying to kill this zombie now as it is very close but risking being spotted

It looks like adrian has decided to risk being seen by the left zombie

Just because he can't wait because his task is about to expire

And he doesn't want to die from a quest now, or is that what you want?

Adrian pov:

I guess that means I have to run towards it now

No, I'll do this one quickly in sneak and then I'll run towards the other one

I don't have much time left, I have to finish these two before it gets dark and I can't see anything anymore

I can already hear other zombies nearby

Reader pov:

when adrian sneaks up to the zombie, he sees that the zombie is turning around.

When he sees this he tries to hide behind a tree but the zombie has seen him and runs straight towards him

as adrian tries to see if the zombie has seen him the zombie is already near his face

Adrian tries to dodge so that the zombie doesn't touch him but doesn't quite make it and is hit on the shoulder

Adrian falls to the ground and drops the katana

The zombie just comes back and tries to bite him

Adrian rolls to the right to avoid getting any closer to the other zombie but he doesn't realize that it almost doesn't matter because the left zombie is heading straight for where Adrian is.

The zombie fighting with adrian tries to strike with his left hand while adrian dodges.

Adrian was lucky and was not hit

Adrian tries to pick up his katana again to kill the zombie quickly

He could also try with his fists or feet but that would be almost useless the zombies are just too strong

And the risk is that the zombie has him in range to grab him and bite him

And that's not what Adrian wants

As adrian picks up his katana he sees the 2 zombie running towards him

His heart racing, he swings his katana horizontally from bottom to top to split the zombie in two

Unfortunately he only makes it halfway and then tries to kick the zombie directly to get his katana out again

As he kicks the zombie it falls to the ground and his katana is free again

He then quickly looked where the other zombie was to see if he could kill the zombie on the ground

The zombie he had targeted first runs towards him with great speed and tries to scratch him with his hands

Adrian just managed to dodge and tried to cleave the zombie's neck directly with his katana

He only misses a few centimeters to kill the zombie

When he realizes that he missed, he tries to attack the zombie that is still lying on the floor

With this sword swing he managed this time to split the neck of the zombie on the ground and kill it now only this one zombie that tried to scratch him is left.

He also noticed directly that this zombie was running towards him

Adrian gets into position as a newbie does best and points his katana next to the right side of his head to slice the zombie's neck from right to left.

When the zombie was close enough adrian swung his katan fast enough to sever the zombie's neck

And with that he has completed the task he just has to get back to his house quickly otherwise the other zombies will soon show up because of the smell of the blood of the zombies he has killed

When Adrian arrives back home, he closes everything up and pulls down the shutters

When he was done he went to take a shower and after the shower he sat down on the couch to see what he got today from the quest and the level up.
