Damian put the equipment on and after sorting out the supply cards in inventory and supplies in his own back, he quickly left the hotel.
It was going to be dark in less than an hour, but he didn't rush to find a place to live, but went ahead to kill a few more zombies.
Counting the zombies he killed in the hotel and on the streets earlier, he already had 288 experience points, meaning he just needed to kill 6 more zombies for another upgrade.
"Energy Bomb," Damian said while waving his hand.
Prismatic ice crystals accurately penetrated into the zombie's eye sockets, and turbid black blood mixed with soft white tissue spurted out from the gaps near the crystals.
Obviously, even after attacking at weak points, current energy bombs still couldn't kill zombies instantly.
But nothing to be disappointed about. For ordinary skills, when the user's level is not high, or proficiency is too low, it is normal to be unable to kill zombies instantly.
If it was so easy, why would it be named the apocalypse game, and not a shooting game.
Damian was able to slay zombies easily purely because of the power of the sub-legendary sword.
At this time in his last life, he seemed to have barely reached level 2.
During this period, he was accidentally injured once. Making him so scared that he didn't dare to sleep at night. He even thought he was infected and was about to cut off the injured right hand directly. As a result, when he tried to chop off his right hand, a wave of dizziness hit his brain and he passed out.
Fortunately, he was lucky in the end. The zombie virus did not infect him into a zombie, but he did not awaken virus resistance skills like the protagonist Arthur did. He was still an ordinary person.
Thinking about it now, that time seems like a lifetime ago.
"No, that did happen a lifetime ago." Damian cut the zombie into two halves with one knife, then looked back to the southwest, his eyes as deep as the abyss.
"The hero, the son of the heavens, the child of destiny, heh, my dear Arthur, just you wait, this time I'm gonna haunt you for real.
My name alone should shake your very belief in this life, and give you nightmares. Only then would I finally feel at ease."
Damian withdrew his gaze and quickly left the street before the zombies around him pounced on him.
[05:50 pm]
After making the most of his day, he found a house as yesterday. After rummaging through the closet in the bedroom, he found a set of clean and loose clothes. There were also many expensive bags inside. Before the apocalypse one bag like this was probably enough to buy his life. But now it's all worthless.
(Just how fast the night changes.) Arthath (Parivartan hi sansar ka niyam hai.)
After washing his face and combing his hair, Damian was eating in the living room while checking the newly upgraded panel.

"The experience cap increased." Damian said, noticing how it takes 600 exp to upgrade from level 4 to level 5. "I should be able to level up the day after tomorrow."
The regular zombies the day after tomorrow will all collectively evolve to level 2, and the experience points provided by killing them will also change from 2 points to 4 points.
With his current monster hunting efficiency, an increase of four to five hundred experience points a day should be doable.
Winter's wrath is still 1,800 points short of being promoted to the next level, so it's a long way out.
Damian added those free attribute points to his strength. Counting the bonus from equipping winter's wrath, his strength increased by 11 points, reaching a value of 42 points.
Looking at his panel like this, his physique seems a little weak, but with hunter's armor it can be stacked and improved mid-battle, so there's no rush.
After taking a stock of all the food and water he had and how many days they could last, he double checked the doors and went to sleep in the bedroom.
(No, it does not matter to him that the bed smells like roses, or how it still had some women's long hair stuck on the pillow.) Whatever it was, it was better than his own square metal bed that creaked with every movement.
The whole night passed like this, and early the next morning, Damian left the place of stay feeling full of energy***.
In addition to the hotel yesterday, he also knew a few other places with treasure chests, but there was nothing else along the way. He hasn't forgotten his goal of getting zombie virus resistance potion first.
He can only wait until he has the opportunity to get them in the future.
Anyway, if he missed something, the most he can say is that it is a pity and it will not hurt him too much.
The attributes of the zombies this morning increased again, reaching 14 points in all attributes.
Although Damian's own attributes can crush them unilaterally, for ordinary people, these zombies at this time can be said to be quite strong.
Again, not everyone's initial attributes can be the same as Damian, for him they were normal 10 points.
But for people who don't like to exercise, eat unhealthy food, sit for long periods of time studying and working, or have enough stress to tire out their head - for them the beginning attributes will obviously be lower.
At first they need to kill at least 10 level 1 zombies to upgrade, which is really a tough task. Since most people don't have good weapons which can kill zombies instantly, or help them run away if they're surrounded.
In a sense, zombies can also be regarded as social creatures. Kill one and a dozen comes hearing the screams.
After upgrading, even if they add agility, the speed may be enough to outrun inexhaustible zombies, but if the strength is not enough, it will be even slower to kill zombies.
As for further upgrades, the exp cap keeps on increasing. 20 to 100, to 300, to 600, to 1000. It becomes harder and harder to level up.
Not to mention the extremely dangerous mutated zombies, even if they were pigs locked in the pen, it would be a very difficult task for ordinary people to kill 60 of them in two days. As every original zombie would be upgraded to level 2 by then.
The end of the world may have been inspired by a fun game, but for ordinary people, this is a real disaster.
Fortunately, Damian is not within the category of ordinary people, whether in his previous life or in this life. The villain role of his made sure he has enough strength to bully people.
"Energy Bomb"
Damian fired an energy bomb into the zombie swarm, increased his proficiency, and then rushed in with the sword. In less than a minute, more than a dozen zombies turned into frozen minced meat scattered on the ground.
"Boom."
There was a sound of something colliding above. Damian raised his head and found that it was a tall building next to him, with a man lying by the window, his hands pressed against the glass.
The sound was probably caused by seeing Damian being able to cut down a group of zombies by himself, and he was so shocked that his hand hit a cracked window, making the glass fall down. (Enhanced hearing guys, he's mini superman now, so don't question it.)
Meeting Damian's gaze, the man smiled and hurriedly pulled his hands back. He didn't say anything, and Damian didn't bother to pay attention. So he just ignored this passerby and continued to move forward.
Since all the zombies near the hotel were attracted by the roars of the octopus at hotel yesterday, the streets now were much cleaner.
Damian was too lazy to search carefully inside the buildings and waste time, so he basically only killed the zombies who came begging for death.
In total, less than forty were killed in the whole morning. Among them were twenty-nine humanoid zombies, six zombie dogs, three zombie cats, and an alienated lizard.
This is the basic zombie situation in a modern city.
In recent years, cities have become more and more strict about pet types. Basically, you can't see many kinds of animals in the open. Cats and dogs are basically the most common ones.
Among the ones Damian killed till now, the three zombie cats are the most difficult to deal with.
Although their strength is not strong, their basic agility is very high, and their size is relatively small. Making hitting them much harder.
Although he didn't kill many zombies today, his luck was good and the dead ones dropped more gift cards than usual. In total, Damian found four ordinary cards containing supplies, two equipment cards and one skill card.
The equipment inside them was a bronze-level wristband, which adds two points of strength, and a bronze-level necklace, which adds two points of spirit.
The skill book is a small skill in the bow and arrow category, which requires a normal proficiency in bow and arrow as the basis for learning.
Damian put on the wristband and necklace, and put the skills and supplies into the inventory.
There were less than forty zombies, and seven cards were revealed, including two pieces of equipment and a skill book. Such a high drop rate also put Damian in a very good mood, so he found a place to rest at noon.
But when he entered the building, he found that there were already more than ten people inside, Damian was happy today so he did not drive these people away.
He just nodded his head and turned around to go somewhere else.
However, just before Damian's raised foot landed outside, a pitiful voice destroyed his rare goodwill.
"Brother, can you save these poor people?"
