5:45 AM
Mina woke up, needing to go to the bathroom. He entered the bathroom connected to the bedroom and turned on the lights, but they didn't work.
"Strange, it's only been a week since I changed the bulb."
When Mina finished in the bathroom, he went to try the lights in the other room. He found that the electricity was cut off from the entire house.
Mina went outside to check the house's electrical box, located on the right exterior wall of the house.
Mina checked the electrical box and found no fault.
"Is the power out for the entire area? I'll go to my neighbor, the policeman Max, and see if the power is out at his house too."
Mina went to Max's house and knocked on the door. He heard footsteps inside. When the footsteps reached the door,
"Crash!"
The door burst open, and Mina jumped back. A zombie wearing a police uniform emerged from Max's house. His right eye was missing, with worms crawling out of the socket, his left eye was white, his lower lip was gone, his nose was missing, and his skin was decaying.
The zombie walked towards Mina and attacked him, swinging his right hand. Mina dodged
by jumping back. The zombie then attacked with his left hand. Mina ducked, quickly moved behind the zombie, and forcefully kicked its knee from behind, causing the zombie to kneel on one knee. Then, he kicked the zombie in the back, making it fall face down. Mina took advantage of the fall and stomped on the zombie's head repeatedly until it was crushed.
[Ding! You have killed a level 5 zombie.]
[Ding! You have reached level 3.]
[Ding! You have gained 9 attribute points. Say "Status" to distribute them.]
Mina stepped away from the zombie's corpse. He sat on the ground, panting for air. He calmed down when he regained some strength, then stood up and went to the zombie's body. He flipped it over, and when he read the name on the police uniform, he closed his eyes, feeling sadness and guilt.
"Crash!" "Crash!" "Groan!" "Groan!"
Mina opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't have time. More zombies emerged from the other houses and started walking towards him. Mina ran towards Max's house to take shelter, but he only took a few steps before stopping. A zombie had broken into Max's house from the back.
Mina looked around and found himself surrounded, with nowhere to escape. He started to feel fear and anxiety, but he composed himself and looked around for anything to use as a weapon.
Mina noticed a police baton hanging on Max's uniform and a green scroll next to Max's body. He quickly grabbed the baton. When Mina picked up the scroll, a message appeared before him.
[Increased Sensory Sensitivity]
Passive Skill Grade: C
Say "Learn" to acquire the skill.
Mina, surprised, said, "Learn."
[You have learned the skill "Increased Sensory Sensitivity." Say "Status" for more information.]
When Mina said "Learn," he felt the world around him change. His vision, hearing, and smell improved, and he could sense any movement within a 3-meter radius around him.
"Status."

As Mina finished reading, the closest zombie reached him, attacking with a swing of its left hand. Mina dodged by stepping back, then stepping to the right, and moving forward, kicking the zombie's knee, shattering it and causing the zombie to kneel. Quickly, Mina struck the zombie's head with the baton repeatedly until it was crushed.
[You have leveled up to level 4.]
[You have gained 3 attribute points.]
"I need more than one hit to kill a zombie. I'm weak. I need to get stronger. Add 4 points to Strength, 5 points to Agility, and 3 points to Endurance."
Mina felt stronger, more agile, and less tired. He attacked the zombies, continuing to kill them. Each time he leveled up, he distributed the attribute points he gained
