Level up Zombie-Chapter 182 Enter My Territory

Jumping backwards into the subway station, Zain didn't quite land the way he wanted, as his foot had hit one of the stairs in an awkward way, causing him to tumble down the rest of them. A snap was heard, but no pain was felt and similarly it looked like the level 3 zombie was taking quite a tumble down them as well.

"Use energy to heal body!" Zain urgently said, as he continued to move, immediately getting back on his feet and heading deeper into the subway station.

[Alert, an intruder has entered your territory]

[Optional quest received]

[Defend your territory and eliminate the attacker(s)]

Unlike the other quests, this one was optional while at the same time, there was also no reward, at least no guaranteed reward, but that wasn't why Zain had come in here. Using the system, a map had popped up, and he could see it, he could see all of them.

'It was a good thing I took my time to prepare this place.' Zain thought, as he turned around and the level three zombie swung its arm right at him. Leaning back a bit too much, Zain had fallen on the ground and immediately started to roll as the feet of the level 3 zombie were being used to stab into the ground.

Each time it would miss Zain, it would leave a large indent on the floor. Getting up on his feet, Zain pulled out his gun this time and started to fire away. It didn't damage the zombie, but did cause it to momentarily stop its advance, as it blocked the bullets.

When the level three zombie sensed that the bullets had stopped, it opened up its arms ready to charge forward, until it felt something jump on top of its body… not just one but there were multiple of them, multiple zombies.

Swinging its arm, it sliced one zombie right in half, and attempted to slice through another, but before it could, Zain was already right in front of it, swinging his machete up to match with its claw. It whacked the zombies arm out of the way. f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

There were already zombies hanging on its arm, with the combined weight pulling it down and slowing its speed. There wasn't much difference between Zain and the level 3 zombie at the moment, which was why the help of a few strong allies, 20 of them to be precise, was a big advantage.

There was a reason why Zain had arrived a little after he had received the system message about the level 3 zombie, it was because there was something he wanted to test out… Whether he could assign zombies to his territory to protect it without being there.

It turned out it was the case. Zain could add zombies to his horde, and then using the system assign them to his territory. When he did, the zombie would move from his maximum horde amount, to the specific territory amount, which was why there were 11 zombies all under Zain's order and control inside the place.

[11/15 Zombies currently left in territory]

'That's okay, because if there is one thing that I can get more of in this world it's zombies!' Zain thought as he placed his hand on the ground, and soon around the area and around him, there was another army of zombies appearing.

"This is my territory! You b*stards have already taken over too much of this world, and its time I take it back, one bit at a time!" Zain shouted, as he charged forward with the others by his side.

He swung his machete with all his strength, hitting parts of its body, and with the zombies to distract it and overwhelm the creature, Zain was able to get to its weak point towards its back, eventually stabbing right through its body. Then, lifting the sword as much as he could, he tore through most of its body reaching the zombie's neck before pulling it out.

Standing there, Zain didn't need to turn around to see if the zombie was still moving or not; he had already received the messages for doing so.

[You have successfully defended your territory from an attack]

'Oh, this is somewhat like those defence games. The ones that are alive are essentially upgraded, but all new zombies will only be at the level they are at when they are put in here. Well, it's a good thing only five of them died. With this I should be confident in leaving the zombies in the subway station.

'I wonder how often a place like this will get attacked though? For now I guess this can be the test territory until I figure things out, but it certainly was helpful when fighting a strong enemy, and I can imagine it being helpful when running away from a large horde as well.'

[You have successfully defeated a stage 3 zombie]

[It is your first stage 3 zombie that has been defeated]

[10,000 exp]

[63,098/75,273]

The first exp bonus was always a good bonus, what Zain was surprised about was the fact that he was the first one to ever defeat a stage 3 zombie, he would have thought there would have been others before him.

'Is it… just that they are still evolving and there aren't many out there? I'm sure there are other zombies that can take this thing on, like those chained zombies. I wonder what stage they are at.'

[Platinum card has been received]

'I got a boost in stat points from this last time, but this will only be my second platinum card, so I have no clue what it will do.'
