Surprises

With caution and with experience from his previous life he approached the camp, from a distance he could see how his "classmates" and school had become infected. He watched as they devoured those who successfully passed the mutation, but still could not do anything against those creatures unknown to them.

"Damn, there are many, more than I remembered." He mumbled.

He held both machetes hard. Calming his mind he prepared for the fight. It was all or nothing.

He walked closer and was noticed by an infected. With speed and madness he approached him. His mouth opened twice as normal, producing a fierce roar.

Henry stopped waiting for him to come closer so he could hit him.

Being closer and closer, the infected man threw himself at him, Henry crouched down and with the machete of his right hand cut his left leg. The infected whom Henry did not recognize struggled to get up but to no avail. Henry unhesitatingly cut off his head.

"Damn it, I did not remember that these guys had resistant bodies." With an expression of pain he massaged her aching hand, but it did not take long to complain as a small halo left the body of the infected and got into his body causing a sense of comfort.

"My first essence, I can not wait to see what the system will do with this." With a happy expression he was about to see the system but heard footsteps approaching from behind.

Turning his head and with the movement of lightning moved evading the three infected who stalked him.

"Urgh." With his quick reflexes he cut his legs, giving him time to think about his next action.

He watched them crawl without stopping. With both machetes he cut each one of their heads one by one.

"Urgh, I'm lucky to have the experience of my past life but, I'd be like crazy crazy looking for fresh meat." He said wryly.

Three halos flew at him and entered his being. "I have to get strong as quickly as possible." With those thoughts he moved.

With his energy and renewed strength he looked at the camp where the infected one by one became aware of his presence.

He walked towards them with determination. Without knowing it, a heavy presence emanated from his body. The blood thirst that came from him caused terror, but it was clear to him that it did not work against these monsters.

"Hahaha, come, come on, you will be my tools to survive." With a fierce look he threw himself at them, showing fighting abilities that would surpass the average. Every second he became familiar with his previous fight mode.

It cut from bottom to top, from right to left and even diagonally. Heads, arms and legs flew in all directions, and black blood stained the fertile soil that exuded life.

Henry's entire body was stained with blood, even from so much blood on his clothes it clung to his sturdy body; Blood dripped from his face, causing a demonic sight.

Because of the noise of the fight more and more infected were approaching by the noise of the fight.

But Henry does not flinch.

* Chin *

Finishing with the last infected one of his machetes that were in poor condition broke.

"It seems I'll have to look for something more resistant, but where?" He looked sadly at the two machetes.

* Sigh * "I'll have to see what's in the suitcases, I hope to find something good."

He approached each body looking in his pockets. It does not matter if it was money, jewelry or appliances, everything would be useful sooner or later; He did not discard anything. What if in the future everything returns to normal and becomes rich selling everything it collects today, how good would that be.

After searching all the belongings, he put everything together in one place and then look for the necessary in a much simpler and direct way.

That was how he spent the whole afternoon without rest, arriving like that in the evening.

"Ah, I finally finished." He dropped by the campfire he had made.

He looked at the fire of the campfire lost in his thoughts. I still thought about everything I had lived and how from nothing I returned to the beginnings of this new era.

"And to think that I feel more comfortable as the world is, as stupidity." He smiled at his crazy idea.

"But... It's good that he came back." He looked at his left pectoral.

"Hey?". With disbelief he looked at the system.

"But I ended up with more than five hundred infected because only appears six essence and eighty halo." With one hand on his chin he thought.

"Unless ... Yes, that's it! Every hundred halo is one of essence, Hahaha, that's fine ... Let's see what happens if I use the six essences". He enthusiastically made the changes in the system.

Looking with delight at the changes of the system and his body, he laughed with joy. "Hahaha, yes, it took me a long time to fill in my second sphere, but now, Hahaha!"

"Now I can be calmer, I can use my fists without worry before the infected ones mutate a second time".

About to close the state of the system he realized something.

"Hmm? How do I level hardness and speed? I do not have enough essence to try." He scratched his head in doubt.

"Then I see, first I will eat and sleep, tomorrow will be another day". Leaving aside the questions, he proposed to search among all the things to eat. All day struggling to survive left him hungry.

* Yawning * "What the hell is that sound?" He got up half asleep listening constantly to the sounds inside his mind. When he thought he was dreaming, he was surprised by the view in front of him.

"What...!".
