Chapter 5: The Beauty's Plea for Help
This zombie was familiar to Alex; it was the captain of the school's fitness club, known for his love of bodybuilding and weightlifting, with a muscular build and great strength. But now, as a zombie, his physique had become even more imposing and seemed to possess endless power.
"Could it be that those with special physical traits in life get enhanced after becoming zombies?" Alex thought, somewhat shocked by this revelation.
But there was no time to ponder further. More and more zombies were gathering around, and he had to return to the city immediately!
Securing his spatial bag, Alex gripped the Sinful Blade tightly and charged towards the city gate.
After cutting down two obstructing zombies, Alex finally reached the gate. The muscular zombie had now noticed him, its bloodshot white eyes staring straight at Alex, then it let out a roar and charged.
Hiss!! Roar!!!!
This zombie was evidently much faster than the ordinary ones!
And much stronger in terms of physical strength!
Facing a formidable enemy, Alex wasn't nervous at all. Instead, he stepped back with his left leg, gripping the large blade tightly in his hand. He was waiting for a moment!
The perfect moment to strike a deadly blow!
Five meters...
Three meters...
One meter...
Now!
Heaving a low growl, Alex swung his blade fiercely at the muscular zombie!
Black blood splattered as the zombie's head fell to the ground. Its headless body, still carrying momentum, slammed straight into Alex.
Alex was knocked back by the headless corpse, tumbling onto the grass.
Hehe... hehe...
Uh... uhh...
Perhaps he should try to find her?
Maybe she was still alive?
Maybe he could rescue her and they could live together?
No! Not live together, perhaps.
But make her his slave!
Things were different now; he no longer needed to harbor an unrequited love.
If she was still alive, she was no longer the unattainable goddess.
But just a girl struggling to survive in this apocalyptic world!
Academic achievements, money, status...
None of these mattered anymore in this apocalypse!
He had food, water, a safe place to live, and a strong body – these were everything in this world now!
As Alex was drifting off to sleep, a cry for help came from a nearby girls' dormitory.
"Hey! Can you come and save us?" A girl's crisp voice carried from afar. Though faint, it caught Alex's attention.
Alex looked up towards the direction of the girls' dormitory.
At a window on the third floor, two girls with long hair were waving at him.
To save, or not to save?
Alex stood up and scrutinized the two girls calling for help at the window.
His eyes, enhanced by the physical constitution boost, could clearly make out the general appearance of the two girls.
They were quite attractive...
In the old world, perhaps they wouldn't even spare him a glance, right?
Maybe he should consider rescuing them and bringing them to his City of Darkness.
A sly smile curled up on Alex's lips...
