The grenades materialized instantly in his inventory. Without hesitation, Advik Bhardwaj pulled one out, yanked the pin, and hurled it straight into the writhing mass of zombies towards him.
BOOM!
The explosion was deafening. It ripped through the undead, scattering charred limbs and rotten flesh in every direction. The force of the blast knocked several zombies off the wall, collapsing a large section of the pile. The sound temporarily drowned out the relentless groans.
[Zombies killed: 25/100]
Advik Bhardwaj didn't waste time celebrating. He grabbed another grenade, pulled the pin, and tossed it at remaining zombies.
BOOM!
The second explosion obliterated more of the horde, sending chunks of undead flying.
[Zombies killed: 35/100]
But the grenade had an unintended consequence: it attracted more zombies from afar and rushed to wards him. He has to lure them away.
With that, he threw the last grenade, as far as he could see toward the door of 13th floor. The grenade sailed through the air before landing.
BOOM!
The explosion sent a shockwave across the grounds.
The zombies that were gathering at the corridor where he was, were momentarily distracted—and then went to the source of the explosion.
"Now it's my chance!"
Ratatatata.
Advik Bhardwaj reappeared and then killed ten zombies using his MP5.
[Zombies killed: 45/100]
Advik Bhardwaj stood on the corridor, panting and sweating, the MP5 smoking in his hands. His eyes darted to the glowing system notification, his chest rising and falling rapidly as he processed the achievement.
Then he opened inventory, and take the water bottle, then he emptied it. Then he looked at the progress of system.
"55 zombies, I need to kill 55 zombies." Advik Bhardwaj muttered to himself, he feel tired, and powerless. Then he searched on system, and found it what he needed.
[Adrenaline Shot – 250 Blood Coins]
Description: Temporarily boosts strength, speed, and reaction time for five minutes. Ideal for emergency escapes or combat situations.
Without hesitation, Advik Bhardwaj purchased two shots.
[Item Purchased: Adrenaline Shot x2 – 500 Blood Coins]
[Blood Coins Remaining: 54,700]
The syringes materialized in his inventory, and he quickly injected in him. Then he feel energetic.
Then without second thought he need some safety, when previous kind of situation happened.
He had to finish this mission as soon as possible. But the only way to complete this out, we need to go through all to ground floor. If he would go to ground floor, he needed protection. Since he can't summon forces right now, he must rely on protective equipment that would protect him from bites and scratches from the zombies. After all, that's their mode of infection.
Advik Bhardwaj quickly searched on the Shop Tab, scanning for protective gear.
He scrolled past tactical vests, riot helmets, and other military equipment before his eyes landed on something that made him pause—a full SWAT Tactical Gear Set.
[SWAT Tactical Gear Set - 15,000 Blood Coins]
Description: Includes a bulletproof vest, helmet, gloves, elbow and knee guards, tactical boots, and a bite-resistant suit. Offers protection from bites, scratches, and moderate ballistic threats.
He didn't hesitate.
[Item Purchased: SWAT Tactical Gear Set - 15,000 Blood Coins]
[Blood Coins Remaining: 39,700]
The gear materialized in his inventory, and he immediately equipped it. Each piece fit snugly, as if right for his size.
Advik Bhardwaj flexed his fingers in the gloves and took a few steps in the boots. "Not bad," he muttered, feeling more confident. The groans from the door grew louder, followed by the ominous creak of the barricade.
Now, he couldn't just open the door as the moment he did that, the zombies would come rushing towards him. He needed something that would give him a moment of time to get ready for entering the door.
He had an idea. A claymore.
[M18 Claymore Mine - 500 Blood Coins]
Description: A directional anti-personnel mine. When triggered, the explosion unleashes a deadly spray of steel balls in a 60-degree arc. Effective for clearing groups of enemies.
[Item Purchased: M18 Claymore Mine x2 – 1,000 Blood Coins]
[Blood Coins Remaining: 38,700]
Advik Bhardwaj looked at door. The earlier explosions had drawn many of them away, but a few stragglers wandered aimlessly below the stairs. He quickly checked his ammunition count.
[Ammo: 20/600 (MP5)]
[Blood Coins: 38,700]
"Not much ammo left in the mag, but I can work with it," he said. He crouched low, taking aim at door, suddenly door burst open and zombies staggering to cum. Its grotesque face twitched as it let out a low groan, unaware of the predator waiting for them.
Ratatat!
The burst of bullets hit the zombie square in the head, and it collapsed in a heap.
[Zombies killed: 55/100]
With that he immediately purchased another 3 M67 grenades, then he slowly walked to door, then he saw no zombies moving, then he quickly went through it, and he at 13th floor, then he cleared zombies on this floor.
[Zombies Killed: 75/100]
Then he went to 12th floor, then 11th floor in this floor he complete the mission.
Thomas reappeared and then killed nine zombies using his MP5.
[Zombies killed: 100/100]
[Quest Complete! Congratulations! You have earned 50,000 Blood Coins and 1,000 EXP.]
[You have leveled up!]
[Level 2: 4,000/4,500]
achievement.
"Level 2," he muttered, a small smirk creeping onto his face. "I'm starting to get the hang of this."
The satisfaction of completing the quest and leveling up was short-lived as his ears picked up the faint groans of zombies still lingering in the area, especially from the door from 10th floor.
Advik Bhardwaj wiped the sweat from his brow and quickly checked his status screen.
[Current Blood Coins: 88,850]
[Current Souls: 160]
"I killed 160 zombies, and I'm still just level 2?" Advik Bhardwaj muttered, his voice tinged with frustration. The realization hit him like a brick—he still needed 25 more kills to level up. One zombie was equivalent to 20 experience points, and while he was close to leveling up, the grind was beginning to wear on him.
