The World Cataclysm

Chapter 7: Killing The Giant



As the door of the library was banged, everybody looked at the door with fear. The tightly closed door, which is sturdy enough to resist ten or more ordinary zombies, started creaking and breaking.

Knowing what to expect, Dave sighed heavily to calm his pumping heart and unzipped his leather bag. Especially for such occasion, he had prepared a special item.

"Hey, Dave, what are you doing? It is not a time to check inventory."

Noticing that Dave was searching for something in his bag, Brian didn't know what to do.

The door was on its limit. As everybody looked at it, Dave silently poured the liquid from the white bottle to his sword. After applying it on his Rusty Sword, he gave a white bottle to Brian.

"Wh...What is it?"

Brian was dumbfounded by the bottle since he recognized it. However, he didn't understand how it can be useful to them in this situation.

"It's a bleach."contemporary romance

Indeed, Dave poured the bleach over his sword and gave it to Brian.

"When I say it, you need to pour it on the zombie. Am I clear?"

Brian thought that Dave had the courage to joke in such a situation, but he saw that Dave was dead serious. He only nodded with his head still not understanding how it can help them.

Finally, doors were broke open as a giant zombie can be seen in place of the doors. It was 2 and a half meters tall giant monster with muscles as thick as steel. It strode slowly towards them as it blocked their way to the outside.

"What the hell is it?"

Seeing as a humongous zombie was getting closer to him, Lucas started freaking out. Frightened by the monster, Lucas pushed the closest person to him to the zombie and ran away when it was attracted by the prey in front of it.

Seeing as Lucas pushed an unfortunate fellow, Dave looked at him with disdain as rage boiled in his mind. In his eyes, Lucas was a trash person who was worthy to be killed.

This time it was one of the male students, while in the past it was Dave who got pushed away by Lucas. Other students followed after Lucas as another unfortunate person was killed by the monster.

Only Adam, Brian, and Dave were left in the library. Dave knew that if they tried to escape now, at least one of them will be killed by the giant.

Dave was able to escape from it alone, but he can't risk the lives of Adam and Brian. They were left only with an option to kill it. In addition, Dave had no intention to leave now.

Dave felt as adrenaline surged in his veins as his skills from past life kicked in. He rushed at the giant dodging the attack from it. Strength type zombies were slower than common zombies but one hit from them could kill Dave.

He was delighted that he increased his agility stat. Even the one-point increase in agility was essential for his survival.

He dodged the hit of a giant as a fist imprint was left on the floor. Even the thought that it could land on him sent shivers down his spine.

Dave slashed with his sword at the arm of a giant and left a small cut on it. The cut made by the rusty sword started hissing as a wisp of gas emitted from its arm.

Feeling a slight tinge, the giant roared and sent another punch towards Dave. He dodged its attack and baited him to the doors of the library.

Knowing the attacking patterns of a zombie, it wasn't a big deal for Dave to dodge its punches.

"Brian, do it!"

As Dave shouted to him, Brian poured the bleach over the giant as it roared from the pain. The giant ignored Dave and looked behind it at Brian and Adam.

Using the moment when it was distracted to them, Dave rushed at the giant and pierced its brain with his Rusty Sword.

As the sword pierced its head, the giant roared and fell to the ground. Dave sprinted to him to take his sword and beheaded it with a great effort.

As the head of a giant rolled on the ground, a huge amount of blue light entered the body of Dave.

[You have reached level 3]

[You have earned 2 free points]

At the same time, a bright light shone from the body of a giant as a blue chest and 3 Survival Coins had appeared close to its body.

As the giant fell, Brian and Adam rushed to Dave looking concerned to him.

"Man, I knew that you were a monster. And what's up with that bleach? When I poured it on it, its skin started hissing."

Brian was relieved that a giant had died, but he didn't understand how bleach could cause pain when zombies were dull to it.

The bleach was one of the tricks of Dave from his past life. When he started hunting on the monsters, Dave noticed that he was too weak, while the weakest monsters were too strong to him.

Being weak to fight with them directly, Dave researched their patterns and weakness picking up several tricks. Survivors, later on, learned that bleach was corrosive to zombies. It wasn't capable of killing them but caused a great deal of pain.

Assuring Adam that he was alright, Dave approached the Treasure Chest.

[Do you want to open a Treasure Chest (Blue)?]

'Yes'

The blue chest disappeared as a vial with blue liquid appeared in his hands.

[Stat Potion

Description: After drinking it, one stat the user chooses will increase by 5 points]

Dave expected to get a Treasure Chest after killing it since the giant was much stronger, but he never thought that he will be lucky to get his hands on a blue chest, not to say, stat increasing potion.

Dave didn't save it for later since the increase was permanent, so it would be better to drink it now.

[What stat do you want to increase?]

'Strength and allocate 2 points to agility.'

[Your strength has increased by 5 points.]

Dave felt as power surged through his body and the world in his eyes became noticeably slower.

As he looked at his status window, his heart was filled with satisfaction. Now, he had the confidence to deal with several zombies at once and even kill a giant with his strength alone.

"We saved your friend, so the first step of your plan is done. Then, where are we going to seek shelter?"

It was the only thing that worried Brian. Zombies were wandering everywhere making it difficult to find a safe place in the campus.

"I have a place in my mind. Let's go to the nearby supermarket since we still should secure a source of food. If we are fortunate enough, we can make a safe place from it."

Adam and Brian had no objections as both of them understood the importance of food in their situation.

"Adam, where is your Wooden Club?"

"It is inside the library. Wait a bit, I'll pick it up."

Running into the library, Adam took his club from the table, and their group headed to the nearby supermarket.

It was one of the supermarkets on the campus, but it would be more correct to call it a minimarket than a supermarket. It was the smallest one among them, so it wasn't the most popular one.

When he went there in his past life, there were nearly no zombies at all, only two or three of them were scattered inside. Avoiding zombies, he was able to get into the storage room and lock himself in it. Its door was made from metal making it a perfect place to settle.
