Into the Zombie World

As the man stood up, he brushed off the dust sticking on his clothes. Blood was dripping from his nose and mouth along with the pain from the impact. However, he gritted his teeth stubbornly and endured the pain he was feeling like it was just an ant's bite. 

He didn't waste any more time as he instantly leaped backward, avoiding Maximo's hoof by a hairsbreadth. 

The other two remaining men were also escaping fervently, their life was on the line after all. Adrenaline rushed through their brain letting them experience speed incomparable to before. 

However, too bad for them, Nile wouldn't let them escape successfully.

He knew that if he didn't interfere, Maximo would not be able to finish them. Instead of waiting for the carabao, he decided to act himself. 

The bloody sword on his hand that had cut off the beggar man's head earlier suddenly glowed with red. The sword suddenly transformed into a throwing knife. 

"Croc, finish the other one." He commanded as he aimed at the escaping man at the distance. 

The man was already over 30 meters away but he didn't even blink an eye as he threw the throwing knife towards the man. His aim was the man's nape. 

Swoosh!

With Nile's current strength, the knife instantly arrived at the desired location. The sharp point of the throwing knife pierces through the man's adam's apple. The man widened his eyes in surprise, his tongue was stuck out of his mouth as he clutched his bloody throat. It didn't take long for the man's body to fall to the ground. He was obviously dead.

At this time, Maximo's battle was most likely finished. 

Earlier, when the man manages to evade his hoof, he instantly kicks his hind legs, closing the distance between them by a mere meter. 

This time, he didn't use the shoulder bash attack but used his horn bash instead. The man was still able to evade, but it seems that his luck had run out as his shoulder was grazed by Maximo's sharp horn. 

His shoulder was pierced by the horn, it was only dangling on the man's side right now. It was no longer usable. The pain from the wound caused the man to flinch, his expression turned into horror as he saw a tail incoming. 

It was Maximo's sledgehammer tail. The man's head didn't burst due to the impact, however, the big lump on his forehead clearly indicates that Maximo's attack had really hit its target. 

The man could see stars circling around him. He suddenly felt a cold sensation on his chest. His clouded mind cleared in an instant as he saw a horn penetrating his chest. 

His chest was punctured along with his heart. It ceased to beat as his now clear mind had already started losing its clearness. His eyes dimmed as Maximo now pronounced him as dead. 

 At Croco's side, he was still pursuing the last man standing. Although he already finished the lollipop, his stamina or energy still didn't recover fully. 

The man he was pursuing was very agile and swift. He turned towards an alley trying to get rid of the crocodile following him. However, his action only caused his demise as it was actually a dead end. 

Croco didn't hesitate any longer as he moved like lightning towards the cornered man. The two blades on his arm were suddenly ejected from their respective slots. 

Moving like a slithering snake, Croco arrived in the back of the cornered man. He was facing the wall as if on a prayer or something. 

However, the truth was actually pretty easy to guess. Despair flooded his mind and now that he has already calmed down, the adrenaline rush he felt before had also expired as if it was timed. 

The crocodile was hot on his pursuit. He knew that his life was already over the moment he returned to this alley.  He closed his eyes regretfully as he waited for the judgment that is to be made by the crocodile. 

He was still confused as to why Nile still killed the man who just given him important information. For a moment, he really believed that they survive this disaster. 

He didn't know what was the reason for Nile's sudden attack. But regardless of the answer, he felt that it no longer matters, his life would soon come to end. 

Sheeng!

Croco's right arm was extended to the left , at the same time, a bloody line surfaced itself on the man's neck. Slowly, his head slid down from the neck. It was very clean-cut, smooth, and perfect. 

After killing the man, Croco picked up the man's weapon and held it using his snout. Nile especially instructed him to collect as many equipments as possible. 

As he returned from where Maximo and Nile were at, he noticed that the two were also busy picking up the mutated weapons lying on the ground. 

Even though they are only level one mutated weapons some parts remained, if sold towards the System, he could still earn a lot.

After picking all the weapons around, Nile did not waste any more time as he instantly sold them to the System. In total, he earned 11 Apocalypse Points.

It was regretful that he couldn't earn any stats increment by killing humans but regardless, he would no longer hesitate to kill them unlike before.

After a few days of being here in the zombie world, he felt like he became a reborn person. 

 His motto still remained, "Kill those who wanted you harm!" 

Still, he realized that there are special circumstances that didn't need killing. For example, doing robbery just to feed their child for the day. 

Hence he decided to never act rashly about it. He decided to only kill those who really deserved it. 

Nile jumped and rode Maximo's back after handing a lollipop as a bribe. The carabao was still unhappy about them interfering with its battle. He was confident that he would be able to kill them without their help.
