A cacophony of explosions and thuds filled the air as the now headless zombies slid to the floor. The large presence of zombies on the rooftop clearly indicated that there were no survivors here, aning it was ti to descend.
Several ters away from the exit, I broke into a running jump kick to bust open the locked door. Despite being over a couple hundred kilograms, the heavy tal door easily buckled like wood, flipping over noisily in the cavernous stairwell as it bashed into an unfortunate zombie who was mostly minding its own business behind the door.
However, the force of my kick had exceeded my own expectations. Even now the tal door was still tumbling down the stairwell, smashing into several zombies without ever slowing down until it hit flat ground. Even so, the zombies waiting at the lower floor imdiately sward into the empty stairwell, replenishing those few zombies cleared by the door.
It was at that point that I realised sothing: these zombies could climb stairs? Is this building full of the elite students of the zombie world? They are even using their legs and hands normally.
Given how many zombies were now in the stairwell, I knew I had no choice but to fight my way down.
Bottle of SP Recovery Potion in hand, I summoned Shadow Demon again. This ti, I was more than prepared for the long slog ahead.
Just like that, I slaughtered my way down the floors, chugging those potions whenever I ran out of SP. Finally, at the twentieth floor, I discovered traces of survivors.
Stepping over the bloodbath left by my Shadow Demon, I found myself facing a walled-off zone barricaded with beds and tables. Naturally, such a hastily constructed barrier wouldnt stop a living person, but against those brainless zombies, they were the perfect defense. It was fortunate that those Scorpids did not invade this building, else this barrier would beco a hindrance instead.
Naturally, only a human would think of stacking a barrier like this. And a normal person would never be able to gather up the materials to do so while being attacked by so many zombies. Thus, the people here couldnt be civilians at all.
Wings still extended, I bypassed the barrier easily while stepping on thin air. From my vantage point, I could already see a bloodied white exosuit taking cover in a corner behind another barrier. It was clear that this exosuit had undergone countless gruelling battles, and this sa exosuit was now aiming its gun right at .
Halt! Identify yourself. A young mans voice rang out from the battered exosuit. It was firm, but there was an undeniable sense of fatigue in it. Dont co any closer or I will shoot! Relax, Im on your side. Im here to find you guys. I imdiately stopped at where I was. Shadow Demon, return to ; the battle is over.
Upon receiving the command, my Shadow Demon dissipated in a puff of smoke, returning once more as my shadow.
Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a show of goodwill ended up spooking the fragile young exosuit pilot. What was that just now? Why did it disappear? And why are you floating in the air? Are you a ghost or a human?
Im a human. Just trust , I wont harm you. I popped open another SP Recovery Potion and downed it like beer.
As if Im going to do that what are you plotting here?
Im just trying to find you guys, thats all. As I said that, I casually tossed the empty potion bottle at an approaching zombie, cracking open its head in the process.
Gulp The pilot audibly swallowed for a second, clearly startled by that attack I just perford. Unlike the Shadow Demon, I was a very real and very present threat. After all, not just anybody could kill a zombie with a bottle toss like that. At the end of the day, Gaia was still a world of science, not a world of swords and magic. Even the evolving situation in Southern Plains couldnt change this ingrained mindset.
You-you-you are you so sort of demon? At this point, even his exosuit was starting to shake -exactly how scared of was he?
Of course, Im a human. Do I look evil to you?
Then how do you explain those wings on your back? Why are you floating in the air?
Oh right, I have a way to prove my identity. I opened up a holographic screen without answering him, then tossed out an official-looking appointnt letter his way. You look like a policeman. As you can see, Im from the Bureau of Enhanced Humans and Supernatural Ability Users. Ive been granted the authority to mobilise all the forces within Southern Plains right now. Regardless of whether you are a policeman or a soldier, you have to listen to my command based on this appointnt letter. If you refuse, the Federation has also given the authority to execute you on the cri of betraying humanity.
The Bureau of Enhanced Humans and Supernatural Ability Users?!
Hearing his surprised gasp, I couldnt help but raise my chin a little. Thats right. I have the rank of Major. My mission here is to gather up all the remaining forces
Sorry, but Ive never heard of such a shady-sounding bureau. Having said that, the pilot focused his gun on once more. Now, stay away, or you will have to answer to my lasers.
No way Aunty Xinqing, didnt you say I have the authority to mobilise all the forces in Southern Plains? How did I fail already in my first attempt at looking cool? Why has no one heard of this bureau with an inordinately long na?
