Level up Zombie-Chapter 175 The Subway
With what Zain would classify as his recent defeat, he knew he needed to get stronger. The problem was being in a city filled with zombies. There were more populated areas that Zain didn't even attempt to go to.
At first, those areas were just filled with mindless zombies and the odd mutant here or there. That was fine, but as time went on, they would start to evolve and get stronger, as the mutant zombies ate each other turning into Stage 2 zombies and growing from there.
Zain was confident in taking out stage 2 zombies, if it was a one on one situation, but as he was now, if a group of them or anything worse than a stage 2 appeared he wasn't so confident.
The thought of leaving the city had come into his mind, but this was where the meteors were, so Zain had to bide his time, and finally he felt like he was ready… to head into the subway. 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚ｗ𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m
? He had already descended down the stairs, and had two machete-like swords on his back. They weren't as good as the other sword, but it was the best weapons he could find.
As he walked through the tunnel, it was incredibly dark. Eventually Zain had snapped a glow stick and placed it on the front pocket of his armoured vest. It was the lightest piece of equipment he had found that didn't restrict movement, while offering some sort of protection from bullets.
After all, the zombies weren't the only thing he needed to worry about. When entering the subway though, a quest screen had come up.
[Clear the Hundwon Subway station of large threats]
[0/13 threats]
[Reward: Gold card]
It was the first subway station Zain had gone into, so he had no idea that they were these types of quests.
'Threats, what does it mean by threats?' Zain thought. 'Does it mean stage 2 Zombies like I thought? It can't mean regular zombies.'
The glow stick illuminated the area around him to around 1 and a half metres. While in the tunnel, it wasn't much, but using a torch he thought it might attract attention of others while in this place.
It was a large platform, and right now he was in the security check section. From there would be tunnels that led off to the platforms of the subway trains. Right now, the sound of growling could be heard coming from all sorts of different areas.
When Zain turned, he could see a group of three zombies almost hunched over, doing nothing but banging their bodies into each other.
'It isn't my job to get rid of the regular zombies. Not that it's possible in the first place, and it lowers my exp.' Zain thought, as he continued forward.
When walking to the security section and the barriers where one would have to display a ticket, Zain avoided the scanner just in case his weapons would set them off. Nothing seemed to work, but the last thing he wanted to do was attract a load of attention by making a lot of noise.
When jumping over the barrier though, he could see and hear the sound of growling getting louder, and it was running straight towards him.
Turning towards the noise, he could see that it was a regular mutated zombie, with its mouth open and its arms dangling in front.
"Shut up." Zain said, as he ran forward and grabbed the zombie's head. With his finger grip strength, he had crushed the skull slightly before pulling hard and ripping it off from its body.
[Mutated Zombie killed +5 exp]
'There's no update to the system, so when it's talking about threats, it definitely doesn't mean these guys.'
Walking further in, Zain headed down one of the hallways that would lead to the platform where the subway stations would be, and that's where he could see it, standing in front of him, was not just one, but two Titans
As they saw Zain, the two of them started to move, as they did their heavy footsteps shook the ground as they did, and when getting closer they let out a deep growl that echoed through the entire area.
At the front of the subway, Dali had just covered himself in blood and guts of the other zombies. It kept away some of the regular ones as long as they didn't get too close but he recognized the loud growls.
A frown appeared on Dali's face and his heart was starting to race.
'There in there… I have to go in, I have to save my brother!' Dali thought, running in, hoping that the man who went in earlier would at least be able to distract some of the zombies.
Walking up to the two Titans, Zain was calm, when he got close, they swung their large fists and he moved out of the way with ease, dodging the blow. Before they could make another move, Zain had already gotten on the back of one of the Titans.
'I have dealt with you guys, more times than I can count!'
Once again using his hand, Zain grabbed the back of the black skull-like armour. He gripped tightly as he pulled using all his strength, ripping the hard shell off revealing a wall of flesh. Soon after he pulled out a machete and stabbed it right through its head.
As the body was falling to its death, Zain jumped from the shoulder of the Titan and onto the other one. With his hand he had punched the Titan in the face, sending the Titan tumbling as it hit the side of the wall, and shook the whole place.
After that Zain stood on top of its body and used his pure strength to rip off the mask and stab it through the head again. He had dealt with the two Titans, those that the military and others struggled with, with ease.

Rushing through the tunnel, using a wind up torch Dali had a little light source with him. He would place his hand over it most of the time, but when wanting to know where to go or see his way, he would have to use it.
Following the noise, Dali thought that it might have been his brother but when he entered the tunnel and shined his torch on them, he couldn't believe what he had seen.
'Did… someone kill these two Titans? But that's impossible?'
