Chapter 9: Hunt has just began

Noah's lips twitch as he was a bit speechless.

_How can a cockroach be this powerful? I do notice they have strong will but to have strength... Tsk this mutation will make humans no longer be the apex of the food chain._

Staring at the 20 centimetres dark cockroach which just repelled his assault.

Noah dropped his now blunt axe and decides to try his martial fist.

[Author: What a reckless move~]

Without wasting time he hurled himself right at the cockroach who also flew towards him.

As soon as they came into contact Noah punch it and it got tyrannized.

"..."

[Ding Dark armour cockroach has been killed. 50 EXP points awarded]

"It's weak?" Noah frown out of confusion, his axe wasn't able to kill it but his fist executed it which baffled him. Without wasting time he visualizes his hologram.

Berserk state- When activated, All host speed, endurance, strength and mental state will be directly doubled.

_Let's put the stat in strength, shall we?_ With such an idea he quickly put the stat in his strength.

Feeling more stronger with less fatigue, he turned towards the people and announced sternly.

"We will stretch in the cafeteria for now. Firstly two boys should volunteer to enter and survey if there's any mutant or zombie hiding and after that, the ladies can enter."

Although non of the boys wanted to take on such a risky job with Bernard telling them to, they had no choice but to grudgingly enter the place. After 5 minutes of checking the others were allowed in.

Noah looked at the destroyed Ashley corpse closely without much facial expression despite how gore it looked and discovered how the head was sliced off. It was more likely to have been done by an exceptionally sharp object.

_Strange, but that cockroach didn't show such ability. Neither did the boys spot any other mutants or zombies._ He pondered inwardly as his eyes ricochet around in an alarming behaviour.

He felt like a couple of cold illusionary eyes were lurking in the dark, peering at them and waiting just for them to drop their guard to strike. Noah who wasn't a warrior till a few hours back didn't know what crucial strategy to carry, and could only pretend that nothing occurred.

_In such a situation a hero will notify others to be cautious of their surroundings but I'm not a hero. This will be the fairest time to flee, from the way it looks at me I can say it recognizes me as a threat and I can use the rest as bait.

If I leave I'm sure it won't chase after me, well it will but not until it kills everyone here. By then I will have gone far._ Noah speculated inwardly and without wasting time he let out.

"You guys should wait inside for a while since it's safe, I will go outside and kill some zombies to get stronger and also try checking if there's a phone in here and make a call, who knows? We might get saved."

"You're right..."

"Be careful out there Noah, it's dangerous..."

"Is it necessary to go hunt? We can stay here and wait for the military to come to rescue us...."

Noah didn't say a word as he heard some agreeing with his arrangement while others disapproved of it, fearing that something might attack him if he goes out and that will lower their group's power.

After reassuring the girls, Noah find another new axe and picked it then strolled outside.

The girls could only watch his back vanish slowly in the storm.

*******

"Boss Bernard, do you think us too should level up outside?" One of the boys confided to Bernard after seeing Noah's action.

Bernard was first taken aback by the abrupt question before throwing a look of disdain at the guy and saying, "Tsk, what's there to level up for? I'm sure the military will soon come to rescue us and by then we can hide in their mist while hunting zombies peacefully.

Tsk, Noah is just showing off and this will cost him his life, as for us, we can use this opportunity to once again have fun with the ladies.

Hehehe he never mentioned not doing so."

At the end of his sentence, he shot the ladies a look filled with lust.

"Bernard, control yourself. We're in a dangerous environment and need to control ourselves and besides I feel like Noah left hastily. It's like he abandoned us and while we are in here I keep feeling like death isn't far from us.

I suggest we leave here ASAP."

"But we don't have the strength to survive outside." Bernard retorts cowardly.

"If we don't have the strength." Jayden wavered a bit as a he made a decisive decision at that moment, "Then we level up and be strong to survive."

Without wasting time he called the other boys over and told them to choose. But unsurprisingly the boys choose to stay.

Jayden and Bernard had to walk away which excited the ladies.

6 minutes after they left...

"Hahaha, we are finally free from those demons. We are free..." One of the girls in green pumped her fist as she let out excitedly.

"Yes we are free, we are fre... ahhhhhh!"

The others turn to find out the reasons for screaming only for a look of horror to be plastered on their face as they subconsciously step back.

A white bony hand pulled out a heart from the green shirt girl's back. It held her heart which was still pumping as blood gush out of the hole.

Dazedly she looked down at the hole in where her heart was supposed to be as horror filled her and within some seconds her eyes lost their luster as she weakly collapsed.

Run!

The thought echoed in each of their head as they quickly dash for the door frantically while trying to shove each other and the chairs or table backward to stall for time.

The red eye zombie wasn't in a hurry to hunt as it munches on the heart with a faint smile on its bloody lip.

It has come to hunt and hunt shall it do.
