Zombie Butcher!

"I need to do something with this zombie." He took the rifle and shot it one more time in the head and another into the heart.

"This should do it." He held his rifle in his right hand whilst pulling the dead zombie with his left arm.

Later on, he arrived at the entrance of the mall area. There were a couple of zombies and was shot dead by Jose. He took the mutarts, shook it in the air for a minute, and ate it. This time, his body did not felt feverish and weak. His strength and stamina increased.

After killing all the zombies in the entrance area, He dragged their dead bodies and sorted it in the road. The dead bodies faced the floor. This way, the hole in their chests won't be noticed immediately.

He looked like he was trying to make a pedestrian lane marking on the road, with the dead bodies of the zombies. Later on, the zombies in the road noticed him and ran towards his direction. After killing forty zombies, his 75 rounds drum magazine was about to be empty.

"Sigh... I should save some bullets. Killing with a gun sure is easy. Luckily, the zombies that were near are few. One would rather run than use a gun on a densely populated area, of zombies."

He placed the rifle to his back and took a butcher's knife he scavenged along the way. He sliced the butcher's knife into the skin of one of the dead zombies. It easy sliced through its skin as if it was paper.

"Not bad!"

He grasped a butcher's knife in one hand as another zombie charged towards him. He swung the knife with full force. The butcher's knife went through the neck like a katana that sliced through a bamboo.

Splurt!

Blood burst as the head of the zombie rolled into the ground. But before he could rest, another zombie charged towards him from another direction. His hands, with the butcher's knife, didn't stop. He swung, aiming at his next target.

Splurt!

The second zombie fell to the ground with its head, separated from its body. Fortunately, there were no more zombies ten meters away from him on the road. And those who were ten or more meters away from him wasn't able to hear or notice his presence as they continued to aimlessly walk at all directions.

He extracted and ate the mutarts. Then, he 'lined' up the two new dead bodies to the road. With the two bodies, he was able to start the fourth row of 'blockage' to the road.

With the dead bodies blocking the road, the speed into which the zombie can walk to the mall entrance was slower. Also, the vehicles that pass through the point would be forced to go slower as they will get obstructed by the dead zombies.

Unfortunately, the majority of the zombies were 'sound' based. Hence, trying to cover up with their scent won't work.

Minutes later, he was able to make four more rows of dead zombies. And after ingesting the mutarts, his strength increased to the point that he can now slightly lift or push the cars that were blocking the road.

"I'm just about to reach the middle stage of level 1. As I thought, consuming the mutarts of zombies who were infected just these past few hours, will provide a smaller amount of development. Sigh... If this was just a game then a level 1 player needed only to kill a handful of level 1 zombies to kill! My kill count will almost reach a hundred, still..."

Jose can't help but shook his head. Despite his 'infinite' stamina, he started to feel sick because of his repetitive actions. He was covered with dried bloodstains, especially his hands. Since he was already immune to the level one virus, he bare handedly 'extract' the mutarts that fill his hands with blood.

Truth to be told, he was having a godly pace of development. If it took two months for a zombie to reach level 2, then the middle stage of level one can only be reached after a month. He was only 'farming' zombies for some hours and he was able to gain a month's worth of evolution.

"If zombies ate their kind, humans would have had ceased to exist even in my past life."

The reason why it needed two months for zombies to reach level 2 was because, unlike humans, they didn't know about mutarts and only targeted the uninfected. However, if a zombie wasn't able to eat flesh for months, there was a rare event where a zombie was forced to eat or attack other zombies. This rare occasion was referred to as 'Zombie Cannibalism'.

Those zombies who practice Zombie Cannibalism mutated faster than the common zombies. Thus, although there would be less population on the zombie side if they practice zombie cannibalism, the number of 'mutated-type' zombies would increase. Or, the speed into which the zombies evolved would be faster, giving humans almost no chance to keep up.

"I need to reach level 2 as soon as possible. This way, my perception would mutate and I can confidently scavenge into the police sub-camp! Before I could ask Arthur and the rest for help scavenging the supermarket, I need to at least arm them with a gun. I doubt that anyone amongst them knew how to wield a melee weapon. Hence, making this raid on the police sub-station critical."

Although he had gone through the mall with ease, it was only thanks to his rifle. Moving on tight spaces was a disadvantage for a melee fighter. His moves might be restricted. Thus, he aimed to still rely on guns.

Also, his rifle was almost out of ammo. He can only repeat the same method for several days with his reserve ammunition. However, he since planned to head to an open area and kill zombies without wasting any bullet. This way, they can save bullets for crucial times. They don't have unlimited supply after the apocalypse after all.
