Alexandra's POV—
Waking up in the next morning, I freshened up in the supermarket's bathroom. I don't know how longer I can enjoy this luxury but I certainly will enjoy it till I can. Electricity was not available, thankfully the bathroom had still some water left in it. Another thing was that the water I had used for bathing wasn't drawn fresh. Therefore, there was no chance of contamination.
I put some more food items in my storage and prepared myself to leave for the hospital. I also took a bag with me to store some things. I am not going to reveal any of my ability unless, it's an emergency. Although, I can't hide my metal ability as I need it during combat.
I left the supermarket and continued my journey. Walking and cycling are the ways by which a human can travel in this world. That is only if, the researchers will not be able to develop a means of transport.
Sweat dripped from my chin as I was walking in this intense heat. Bathing only helped me for a few hours. After walking for almost three hours, my white shirt is drenched with my sweat. If you are wondering that the number of hours is still 24 or not... I don't know. It's just an estimate that I assumed. The system said that the time was absolute though, a day is still consisting of 24 hours.
I met a few zombies along the way. As any responsible would do... I killed them. Right now, the zombies are still brainless, guided by their hunger. Their instincts screamed only blood and fresh. Stomachs of these creatures are equivalent to a bottomless pit. The more they try to fill, the hungrier they become.
"Grrrrr..."
A zombie growled at me. It was wearing policeman's uniform. Blood covered its face, showing a very monstrous look. Its left eye was also missing. But what attracted my attention was a gun strapped in his holster.
I conjured a dagger and threw at its head. It pierced its head, killing him in an instant.
These zombies are still in level 1. After a month, these zombies will level up.
I took the handgun along his holster and tied it around my waist. Luckily, the gun was fully loaded.
Satisfied, I resumed walking. I still have a few kilometres left. Suddenly, I spotted a sign which said, 'Welcome to the Disrewk Town!' Do I have to cross this town to reach my destination?
I checked the map. It shown that I have to cross this village to reach 'The Cross Hospital,' the state hospital. Without any further thinking, I made my way into the town.
As I walked through the streets, I saw that the houses in this town had a better condition than the houses near my villa.
The roads were covered with potholes. Vehicles were almost equivalent to a pizza. Shops and other stores were totally destroyed. Dead bodies piled up everywhere in the streets. Some on the ground, some were on the roofs and the rest were splattered, probably crushed by heavy objects.
"Grrrr...rrrrr"
"Grrrr!!!!"
The growls of zombies hit my eardrums... once again. Yesterday, I tried to experiment with my metal ability. I found after using it for a certain time, I could no longer use it. It was like a cooldown period. But that wasn't all. All my creations had a lifetime of only one day. When the object that I made, passed a time period of 24 hours... it would start rusting. The system said only by levelling up, I can increase my creations vitality.
I conjured a sword and took my stance. Right now, I was standing in the middle of the intersection of four roads. Almost 50 zombies came running towards me, from the first road, the road which I had intended to walk.
I don't think that I can fight all these many zombies at once. It's better that I choose another road. Just when I looked back, I found another horde zombies running towards me from the second road. The same was with third and fourth road.
My face paled from the horrendous situation I was trapped in. Without the increment of my current level, I won't survive.
Taking a deep breath, I called the system in my mind.
'System... I am ready to buy the pill from your store.'
