Clyde opened his eyes. The sound of notification echoed inside his head like an annoying alarm that he couldn't turn off.
Clyde stretched and got up from the bed. Then he came out of the room fully clothed with a sword at his waist.
As soon as he got outside it turned out that everyone was awake. They waited outside with worried faces.
"You ready?" Clyde asked while looking at all of them.
He knew it was a stupid question. Because even if they weren't ready, they had to do it anyway.
ƥαṇdαηθνε| "Toxic gas will come out in a few minutes. For the newest Chapter, the Checkpoint will change," said Rodney.
"So you mean the people on the subway will lose their haven?" Asked Asqa with a shocked face.
"Yes." Rodney nodded.
Asqa looked like she wanted to say something but she immediately closed her mouth again.
Clyde thought maybe she wanted to say that the people on the subway needed to be saved. But soon realized that what she wanted was too much.
"Let's go."
Clyde walked first toward the motel lobby. After that, he stopped and turned to all of them.
Clyde took the six skill cylinders from his inventory and gave it to them.
"What's skill is this?" Mona asked with confusion on her face. The questions represent them all.
"Open it," Clyde said.
They all knew that it was a cylinder skill. So they just opened it.
[ Skill obtained: Passive Skill: Toxic Resistance (Lv.1) ]
They all get the same notification. Their eyes widened knowing the new skill they had acquired.
"How did you get it?!" Reed asked.
"I bought it," Clyde answered simply.
"But the price of this skill is quite expensive!"
"I have a few more coins. Anyway, we should head out now."
Clyde was already walking towards the exit.
The six of them were naturally relieved after getting this skill. With [Toxic Resistance], the smoke that turns humans into zombies does not affect them.
However, the Regressors knew that the skill's price was 500 coins.
They couldn't possibly get it at this early stage. The reward coin from a rank B Quest - which is the highest Quest at this point - is only 300 coins.
The four of them once again were grateful to have met Clyde.
"Let's go," said Rodney.
They all followed Clyde out of the motel.
Gray and green smoke coalesced and filled the city.
At this time the smoke was still a thin smoke that only covered the road at ankle height. But later the smoke will get thicker and will be as high as the building.
Passive skills are skills that do not need to be activated and will take effect once they are obtained.
Sonya explains to Asqa who doesn't understand. Mona came closer to them and help Sonya to explain.
"Where is the BOSS located?" Clyde asked.
"The BOSS won't appear before the notification. Don't you know about that?" Eric said.
"Ah, I see. I don't know." Clyde said flatly. "Then what can we do?"
"Well, we'll have to find a special gas mask that can ward off this toxic smoke, but..."
Clyde nodded in understanding. "Then we should start killing zombies?"
"Yeah..."
"Okay."
The seven of them walked the streets filled with smoke. The zombies began to appear from everywhere.
There are a lot of zombies that appear right away.
There may be hundreds of zombies appearing and all of them are bloodthirsty.
The zombies immediately charged toward them.
Clyde turned to Sonya and Mona. "Give Asqa a chance to kill the zombies."
"Alright!" Sonya said.
Sonya and Mona knew what they had to do.
They both protect Asqa and then give her an iron pipe that they found on the road.
Asqa hits the head of a zombie that has been weakened by Sonya and Mona with fear and disgust. But she did it anyway.
Each zombie gives enough Exp to level up. But the zombies that appeared began to multiply and they began to struggle.
"Find a better place to fight!" Clyde said to the six of them.
"Yes!" Answer Rodney. "But what about you?"
"I can handle it myself," Clyde replied calmly.
Rodney didn't question it any further and immediately led them to find the right place to fight this large zombie horde.
Clyde fought alone because he needed more experience to level up. And also he can fight more easily if he is alone.
[ Burning Hand (Lv.3) is activated! ]
From Clyde's hands, bursts of fire spread in all directions and instantly burned the walking corpses. In an instant, he had already killed dozens of zombies.
[ You leveled up! ]
A level-up notification appeared.
Clyde didn't stop and continued to attack. He killed the zombies with his sword and fire.
Rodney takes the group into a shop and hangs in there.
They kill zombies that pass through the door in turn.
A large number of zombies will have no effect when they can only enter through one door in front of the shop.
Several minutes passed. The new notification sounded in the air.
[ "Zombies will start evolving!" ]
Clyde heard it too. But he who was busy slaughtering zombies wasn't too worried.
After all, he felt he could overcome these zombies even if they evolved for now.
The zombies instantly changed.
Their bodies began to be overgrown by sharp blades.
They charged toward Clyde while swinging the sharp blades that grew on the hands, head, and chest.
Some blades can also extend like tentacles.
'This is going to be even more troublesome!'
Clyde noticed the changes taking place around him. If indeed every ten minutes these zombies became stronger, it would be dangerous.
Even with his high-level and Easy-Mode Attribute, Clyde starting to get worried.
Because for Clyde, vigilance and caution were indispensable in all situations. Especially in a life-and-death situation like this.
Clyde cut off the sharp tentacle that was aimed at his head.
Then he used his Burning Hand to burn the zombies around him.
After that Clyde ran to find a better place.
When the zombies began to change, he did not want to be in the middle of their siege.
As he ran, Clyde saw someone standing on top of the building.
The person wore a black hooded robe that covered his/her entire face.
"GRUAAAHHH!!!"
A zombie jumped at Clyde with both hands covered with sharp blades shaped like an ax.
Clyde swung the Elderglass Sword to block the sharp blade. Then kick the zombie until it bounces back.
Not wanting to waste time, Clyde started running again.
He found a member of his group in a shop. Clyde ran towards the shop to regroup.
