Chapter 111 - Scary Thought
Two monstrous figures were currently wrestling with each other.
BAAMMM!! CLANK!! BAAMMM!!
The Stage Two Stone Golem fighting against the Stage Two Zombie. The huge golem is only about half the size of the black zombie, it's looking like a David versus Goliath situation. But the golem seemed to be able to firmly hold on against it's opponent's monstrous body.
Meanwhile, after Alex injected the serum into Winter, a moment later he passed out. Alex gave him a quick bandage and told James and his remaining bodyguards to take Winter out of the building. As for the boxes of stuff collected by the two teams, Alex quickly stored them in his storage rings. Red decided to stay, as he held the laser weapon, he hoped to stay behind to help.
ROOAAARRR!!!
The huge zombie's shoulder has finally fully regenerated. It's now able to use both of its arms.. The monster held the golem's body tightly and rammed it into the wall.
BAAAAAMMMMM!!!
The golem got blown over to the room behind the wall. The black zombie decided to turn around and redirect its attention to the guy who stabbed its shoulder. the ferocious monster rushed straight to Alex.
Zzzziiiinggg... Phhhiuww!!
Another yellow sharp light beam came from the weapon held by Red shooting at the black zombie, but this time it was able to dodge it. The black zombies were at the second stage evolution of the zombie. Within a few months, this type will become the zombie hordes' powerhouses. Monstrous strength, bulletproof skin, and high regenerative power. None of the Mortal Realm fighters will be strong enough to fight this zombie type personally. Even the peak stage Earth Realm fighters will have trouble fighting them without proper skills and equipment. In his previous life, Alex had killed thousands of black zombies, but it was when he had already reached the Sky Realm. Right now he was only a Mortal Realm fighter. From his experience, the most dangerous thing about this black zombie compared to other zombies or mutated beasts was its intelligence.
"With my current strength, I would not be able to blindly defeat this monster... I need to outsmart it." This monster was a real predator, Alex didn't dare to underestimate it. He took a deep breath, instantly performed breathing techniques and the second stage of the Hexagram Steps. His speed increased substantially.
Alex threw two smoke grenades to the ground.
BSSSHHHHH!!!! BSSHHHHH!!!!
White smoke instantly covered about 10 meters around the area Alex was standing in. Like a ghost in the mist, Alex gradually was missing from its view. The black zombie jumped forward only to end up hitting empty smoke.
SWISH!! SWISH!! This creature was still depending on its eyesight and hearings to search for its prey, it could hear its prey was near but was still unable to land a hit. Instead, it constantly received multiple hits to its legs.
PAA!! PAA!! PAA!! GROAARRRRRR!!
When the smoke cleared everyone else could see what Alex did. Instead of taking a distance against the black monster, Alex did the opposite. Using the hexagram steps, he managed to stick close and continuously stayed at the monster back. Armed with the snake tooth spear, Alex landed multiple stabs at the opponent's legs. Although the stabs were unable to disable it, somehow it was enough to reduce the black zombie mobility. The creature finally realized what Alex has been doing, but Alex already gathered all his strength, he jumped and dealt a critical thrust to the monster head.
PPAAAAA!!!
Alex miscalculated his strength, the spear only managed to pierce the head halfway through the monster's jaw. The creature screamed loudly but was still able to do a counter attack. The monster raised both of his hand and swung its monstrous arms at him, and this time Alex was unable to dodge it.
BAAAMMMM!!
The hit from above crushed Alex to the ground. Alex lay on the floor and coughed up blood. If he's not wearing the protective low-grade armor, he would already be unconscious or worst. The monster quickly followed the attack, this time using the pointy sharp end of the arm, this attack would surely kill him, but...
BAAAAMMM!!! T
he Golem has returned and tackled the monster, it dragged the fight away from Alex and both of them started to wrestle again. The twins and Red rushed to Alex to help him, but other than losing his face in front of his men, he's fine. Alex started calculating different tactics and scenarios to help the golem kill the monster together. He planned to arm the twins with the extra snake tooth spear from his storage ring, but he decided it was too risky... One wrong move and the two spirit enhancers could die. In a one on one fight situation between stage two golem and stage two zombie, Alex knew the golem would thrive, so he decided to just watch the fight. Probably because the black zombie had already been hurt by the laser weapon and the multiple stabs by Alex, the fight ended a minute later.
The golem was finally able to pin down its opponent to the ground and launched multiple explosive punches to the black zombie's head. BAAAM!! BAAAM!! BAAAM!! CRACK!! CRACK!! SPLAATT!! The black zombie's head was cracked and turned into paste, Alex walked to the headless body and found a piece of the yellow spirit stone and put it in his storage ring. The group then quickly headed out from the building and joined the team outside.
The situation outside has also turned chaotic, Zee with his Gold Team took a defensive stance outside of the office building. Thousands of normal zombies and hundreds of the red zombies already swarmed the area.
Tratatatattatata, Tratattatatatatata The team poured all the ammunition they had at the incoming zombies. This team of experienced peak stage fighters was able to effectively do headshots even with assault rifles. Zee, on the other hand, used the huge M134 Minigun.
Dzzziiinggg... Dratatatatatattaattaatt
Hundreds of zombies died each second at the hands of the small group, but the zombie hordes still came in thousands. BANG!! BANG!! BANG!! BANG!! On top of the building, Aria and Flea fired their sniper rifles to headshot the incoming zombies. As they were located on the high ground they could see an endless number of zombies coming to the area.
"More incoming... We need to head out soon."
"Hold on. I spotted something."
"Incoming from the north!"
BAAAMMM!! BAAAMMM!! A huge steel object moved in fast heading to the group from the north while crashing at the zombie hordes, It's James' armored RV. The vehicle stopped meters away from the group, the RV's door opened up and a man with eyeglasses using a Pickaxe on both his arms start piercing zombies around the vicinity. "Are you guys coming?" The glasses guy was Theo and the one driving was Cindy, Alex ordered them both to go take the RV knowing the hordes will come. Aria and Flea jumped down from the four-story building and started to move inside, all fourteen survivors were packed inside the luxurious RV.
"Ok everyone's already in. Let's go!!"
The vehicle started to drive quickly and headed back north to the shore, there were thousands of zombies trying to stop the moving RV but the golem was protecting it while running side by side with the vehicles. It was the first time James' bodyguards saw the golem, they were amazed by it. Seeing it also made Alex wonder, without the golem he might not have been able to defeat the black zombie. He wondered if it's normal to encounter this zombie type only one month after the doomsday. In his previous life, he was in the Bali mountains at that time, so he would not know. He never heard anyone ever saying that they saw one this early as well. But then, if anyone ever saw this type so early, none of them would be alive to tell the tale. Alex suddenly had a scary thought in his mind,
"Will the doomsday turn out differently with his reincarnation?" "Humanity was annihilated in only a few years during the previous life... If the monsters got stronger how bad would it be this time?" Alex's wild thought suddenly got distracted by the sound. BAAAMMM!!! BAAAMMM!! "Cindy drive carefully!!! You're gonna wreck the RV, this is not a tank! Let Zee drive the car!", James worriedly said. "Move away!! It's dangerous to distract the driver!!" Cindy chuckled... In her mind:
"Not a chance, this is so much fun..."

Authors note: I Just found out that although I am contracted by NovelFull, I will never receive a salary unless I go premium. Basically, I will not receive a single cent for all the last 2 months' 80k words writing. I came into a dilemma about whether to go premium or not. After discussing it with a few people, as promised I, decided not to go premium. I love writing this story and decided my priority is getting my novel read by more people. However, money could be a good motivation, therefore, I set up a pat_reon for those who enjoy my novel and would like to support me more. https://www.p a t r e o n.com/avan7 Hopefully, I did the right thing. Please comment and tell me what you think. Thanks. Avan
