~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (A/N: I don't exactly know what happened with my brain, but i marked as if Gray had leveled up, but i forgot to make him get a skill point, so this is what would've happened if i didn't fuck up. I've organized myself better now, such mistakes will not happen again {I think}.)
I woke up and got up from the sofa i was using as a bed. I had slept for 54 minutes, which is good enough. I started making lunch for me and my guest, for whom i will have to get a injector, i could get one from a clinic. I'll finish my electric machete, and then i'll do a little traveling around the city. I took the plate and the cutlery, and slid the food through the hole i'd made before.
"Food's ready."
My cooking skills are passable at best, so i made a simple lunch, spaghetti with bolognese. I ate quickly while looking at the door, the plate was passed through the hole moments after i had finished, so i took it and put them on the sink. I went to the workbench and started making the electrified machete. after one and a half hours of hard work, my new friend was ready. I followed my own advice and put on some black leather gloves i had taken back at the mechanic. I turned on the gadget, and it did not short-circuit or overheat, which is already a win on my book. I stopped pressing the button, since i didn't want to waste the batteries, which gives me leeway to talk about a problem, the sad fact this thing burned through batteries like chlorine trifluoride burns through, well, anything. Which means i'll have to use it only when needed, and to not have the issue of accidentally keeping it on, i made the system work through a button i have to keep pressed.
I'll keep extra batteries on the inventory, which means i have four free slots, the other four being used for the molotovs, the knives, the antizin, and now the batteries. I got outside, and started searching for a clinic, which i found on the other side of the highway, near the safe house i had took the antizin to. I found the injector, some syringes, some scalpels, and some drugs, including some CNS stimulants, which i could use in case i needed to keep awake. I took everything i needed and went outside, i had one hour till the next nap. I went back to my base , i'll take some samples of the woman, and then inject her with antizin. I put the items i had taken from the clinic, minus the injector, on the desk, which would be the one i would mess with biological things. I had taken two medical-grade refrigerators, one to keep samples, another to keep possible vaccines and medicines, so i put everything in the remaining corner of the store. I organized everything, then took everything i needed to take samples. I unlocked the door, the woman was reading, but she turned when she heard the door opening.
"Time to take samples."
I could see she had dark circles under the eyes, which could either be caused by the distress of being kidnapped, or the infection taking its toll, all i know is she didn't have them before. I took her arm, applied a tourniquet, which made her veins become more visible, then took the syringe.
"I'm assuming you're not afraid of needles. Are you?"
She shook her head. Good, less trouble. I prickled her skin, then took the blood sample. I then untied the tourniquet, gave her a sterelized piece of cotton to stop the bleeding and took the scalpel. She seemed afraid of what i would with the blade. I applied anaesthetics on the spot i would take.
"Don't worry, i'm a medic. Kind of."
I cut a piece of skin on her arm, and put it in a small pot. I stitched her, and used swabs to take samples of nasal fluid. With everything collected, i injected her with antizin.
"Three days from now, i'll take some more samples."
If i'm still here by then. I checked the time, i had 30 minutes till the next nap. I locked the door behind me, went to the biological workbench, divided the skin samples in multiple petri dishes, put the blood on the centrifuge, dividing the fluids, then guarded the samples. This process took 20 minutes, so i went to sleep. I woke up at 4 pm, sleeping 60ish minutes. Getting up, i went outside the base, taking the machete, the stimulants, and the keys with me. I locked the door, got on top of the building, and took out the radio.
"Hello, i realized i didn't ask when the drops would fall. Anyone care to inform me?"
"The drops fall at 5:30 pm. You're really going alone? We could arrange atleast two runners to help you."
Rahim said.
"After last night's fiasco? No, i work better alone anyways. Where's Jade?"
"She went out to find some anti-seizure medicine for Brecken."
"Is that so? Good luck for her, then. How's the guy?"
"He seems to be mostly okay, can't go out though. He's asking for you."
"I hope you didn't say anything about this little mission."
"Don't worry, old man, i said nothing."
"Got any place where the drops will fall?"
"The GRE sent us nothing through the broadcast. And the broadcast shows no prevision of any future drops."
"I'll do my best to get those drops then."
"Please do."
He cut off. I changed the frequency to the GRE.
"Report."
"You're cutting the drops off. Not enough trust on my skills, or an attempt at cutting off loose ties?"
"Both. You've taken more time than expected."
"You've sent me down with an USP and four magazines, and i need to take down an evil overlord that took over the military forces and weapons of the city. I need some time to prepare, you know?"
"Your curriculum shows you've done more with less."
"Yes, i did. But i had time to prepare, and didn't have to deal with fucking zombies."
"You have two days, Jacob."
"Question. How exactly am i going to be extracted?"
"Finish the job, and we'll send you the LZ."
"Say, if i happened to take another person with me, you wouldn't care, right?"
"We would."
"Too bad for her, then."
She cut off the comms. Very rude. I decided i would thin out the horde of zombies. I went to the place where the cars had exploded, since the horde doesn't seem to wander around that much, they are probably still concentrated around the car.
'Hey, Game, i'm curious. What's the level limit to this world?"
[16. But you can still get EXP after that.]
'Other question, is the EXP i'm gaining directly translated to the 'normal' EXP?'
[1 Power or agility EXP equals half 'normal' EXP.]
With those questions answered, i looked down at the zombies. There were some using hazmat suits, with gas canister on their backs. Interesting, didn't see those before. I threw one og the firecracker i'd made, they make more noise and last longer, this attracted a big amount of zombies. They stepped above one another, probably killing some unfortunate ones, when i decided the group was big enough, i threw a molotov.

Multi-throw, my beloved, you've become even more beautiful, even if your name has changed. I've received another way to stun people, which is good, and i can already feel the effects of strenght control. The fire made the gas canisters on the back of these hazmat zombies explode, attracting another big group. I walked on the heads of the zombies to get to the other side of the road, the ones i stepped on falling. I threw another molotov.

I started looking over multiple zombies, looking for the ones with the better stats. By the end of the ordeal, these were my stats.

I'll have to look for a goon, maybe go out at night to inspect some volatiles if i want more considerable advancements. In fact, going out to look for a goon is exactly what i'm going to do, since i still have some time till the drops fall. I went through the rooftops, throwing firecrackers and molotovs at the zombies beneath me.

Three levels till the last one, I arrived at the bus station, which had three goons and a group of zombies. I inspected the goons, one of them had a CON of 22, another had a STR of 23, and the last one was 21 on both, the rest of the stats were lesser than what i had, so i copied the 23 STR and 22 CON, but what i really found interesting was the perk they had.

{Harran virus Infected} Stage 3-Strong |
This must mean there are multiples types of stage 3, i wonder if the volatiles are stage 4, and if there is a stage 4, does it have multiple types as well? While i would like to document all types of zombies, i'm more focused on getting those files from Kadir. Maybe i'll see other types during that, but i doubt it, since i plan on finishing this quickly, the current plan is block all the entrances and exits to the building, throw in the aerosolized sarin, kill everything on the compound, wait for the gas to decompose, get in and take the files. But i need to do the recon of the area and, if possible, locate the files. But first things first, i should focus on getting the airdrops. In fact, i have 15 minutes till 5:30, so i'll just wait and get my eyes on the sky.
The GRE is very punctual, i heard the planes passing by and releasing the drops exactly when the clock hit five thirty.
"Jacob, you saw them, right?"
Brecken said.
"I did, and i am already on my way."
I wasn't that far from the dropzone, but when i arrived at one of them, i saw six Rais's men, it seems my little actions that day have made them send more people out on those missions.
"Rais is getting afraid, apparently. Six guys, covering all angles, i doubt i can get the drop."
I probably could, but they don't need to know that.
"Forget it then. Go to the next drop, quick."
5:49. Night is cutting close. I ran to the next drop, and saw nothing but a group of zombies around it. I disposed of them quickly with the throwing knives.

I opened the drop, filled up my stack of antizin, and threw the rest of the boxes on the flaming barrel next to it. my watch beeped, which meant night had arrived.
"So? Got anything on the next drop?"
"No, Rais's men arrived first, because the box was fully empty."
"Fuck! Get out of there then, fast! The volatiles must already be roaming around."
"Roger that. Over and out."
I needed to inspect atleast some volatiles, and since i am already out at night, i'll take my chance. I started going back to the antizin safe house, until a volatile jumped on top of the building i was on, i hid behind the ventilation system, and used inspect.

Holy mother of god, what the fuck is this monster? I copied his CON. He stayed on the roof for a bit, then jumped off and started roaming around again. I had thought about killing one of them before, but i realize it would be more of an ordeal than i thought. I knew they were vulnerable to something, but i couldn't remember, so i looked at my notes. UV. I need to make a UV flashlight if i want to deal with them. I got to the safe house, and inspected the volatiles from far away. By the time i would take my next nap, my stats were the following.

I consider this a big advancement. I have around 30% of the health of a volatile, and around 10% of their stamina. The night passed, and by seven morning, i was back at my base. I had already made a UV flashlight, and would now go to the Tower. I gave breakfast to my specimen, and a water bottle and three cereal bars for her lunch. I went to the Tower, from there to the nineteenth floor, and then to the headquarters, where the three leaders were discussing something. I arrived subtly and they didn't notice i was there.
"I don't recommend sending him. He's skilled, yes, but he can't exactly be trusted."
"He saved my life, Jade. Even if Amir---"
"Don't put Amir on this."
"C'mon, sister, you can't keep blaming him. The old man is trustworthy, and he's very fitting for this."
She got up from her chain, hitting the table.
"You two don't understand. He is---"
"I'm what?"
She turned in my direction, with fear in her face. My plan is pushing her into a pit, then pulling her back up.
"You... you're a newbie."
"The job is just talking to this Rais, right? Even if he's scary, i think i can do that."
"See, Jade? The old man can go."
She turned back to her brother.
"But this is important."
"I know it is important. But i'm sure you already know what the type of guys this Rais apparently is would want from a beauty like you, right?"
She turned once again to me, with a certain disdain in her eyes.
"I don't doubt that, you've already proven that with that punch. But the problem is, we are the ones asking something from him, so we can do nothing but accept the conditions he imposes on us."
"And what if even with you being the one to go he still asks for me?"
"If that happens, we buy times for ourselves, then make a plan to take him down."
The two men looked at me, incredulous.
"You think if we could take him down, we wouldn't have already done so?"
Brecken asked.
"Yeah, old man, i know you're confident in yourself, but Rais and his gang have most of the guns on the city, and their numbers are bigger than ours."
"Got it, got it. Taking him down is impossible. Look, i'll go, and i'll make a deal with the guy. Wish me luck."
I said this, and went back to my base. I guarded the machete, the bullets, and my gun in the inventory, keeping the empty mags on my pockets. I put the antizin on the medical refrigerator, then put the stimulants on my inventory. I went to take my nap, and when i woke up, i got outside and contacted the Tower.
"I realize i don't know where this Rais is."
Jade sighed audibly.
"You'll see a apartment building with big flags of his little gang's symbol. Just look for a big yellow flag with three black lines and you'll find it. That's only the garrison, though. His real headquarters is a under construction complex."
"Got it. Heading to the garrison now."
I got on top of the highway, and started looking around for the flags she said. I saw the building. It is perfect for my plans, the problem is the fact those aren't the real headquarters, which means the files are possibly not there. I pulled out my radio and contacted the GRE.
"What do you want?"
"Whare is your usual greeting? I was growing fond of your 'report'."
"Since you appear to be going rogue, you will not receive the agent treatment anymore."
"Going rogue? Since when?"
"Since the time you decided you'd make this a longer mission than needed. And when you decided that you wanted to commit a warcrime."
"How did you know that's what i was planning? Anyways, i just wanted to ask if your files are impact resistant."
"How much of an impact are you talking about?"
"The 'building falling on top of it' type."
"Definitely not."
"So it does not resist that kind of impact? Shame."
"We ask you know your boundaries, Greyston."
"I know mine, do you know yours?"
"Only contact us when you either need us to cover up whatever you're planning, or when you have recovered the files."
She disconnected. This puts a wrench on my plan. I started heading towards the garrison. While i was on my way, i was pondering what to do about the current predicament. The files are most likely in the headquarters, but there's a chance they are on the garrison, or that copies were made. I'll have the chance to scout the garrison, but i doubt that chance will come to the complex. If the files are on the garrison, things will be simple, if not, more time will be needed. The real problem is that the files are neither on the HQ nor the garrison. I had made a listening device, so i could wiretap the comms of Rais's gang.
I reached the entrance of the garrison, the two guards stopped me, one of them pointing his machete at my neck.
"What's this? One of the rats?"
"I come in peace, the Tower wants to make a deal with Rais."
One of the guards went to the door, knocked and entered. After some time, he returned.
"The boss wants to see you."
He opened the door, and the guy who had the machete on my neck pushed me in. I started walking, and found Rais cutting the right hand of a guy off, saying something about loyalty. The guy i had encountered when i first dropped put a gun to my head.
"You're the GRE guy!"
"Was hoping you wouldn't say that."
Everybody started pointing their rifles at me. Kadir came over.
"Tahir told me they had sent someone down. But to think they would send the motherfucking 'Spectre', they must really want that file."
"I guess so."
"So tell me, Spectre, why shouldn't i kill you and release the files?"
I laughed. The Tahir guy pressed the gun against my head, and Rais got angry.
"What's so funny?"
"I'll tell you what's funny. What's funny is that you think i, of all people, would be afraid to die, and that you think bluffing will work against me."
I broke Tahir's hand, took his gun, and dodged at Kadir, taking him hostage. Upgrading my stats was a good decision. The guys didn't even manage to process what had happened.
"I'll told you what's funny, and now you will tell me where are the files. An equivalent exchange, no?"
"You have some skill, as expected of the 'Spectre'."
Oh, he's one of those. Change of plans. I shot one of the guys close to me, releasing Kadir and using the impulse of dodge to slide over to the dropped rifle. I turned and used multi-aim to kill the guys on the roof. One was hit on the head, one on the heart, one on the neck, another on the leg and the last was hit on the gun. I used the combination of dodge-slide to take cover behind one of the drops. Since my dexterity was three times that of a normal man, they couldn't follow my movements. Rais raised his hand, signaling his man to hold fire when he saw i was behind one of the drops.
|+100 Power EXPx3|
"You should surrender, Spectre. If you do that, i'll throw you in the Pit, and if you win, you're free to go."
I stayed silent. I admit i am in a bad position. I've counted, there are atleast fifteen guys still capable of firing their gun. I locked on five of them, got out of cover and hit them all on the head. Now there's nine guys on the ground, and the guy i hit on the leg on the roof. I got back on cover. Deciding myself. i threw the rifle and the pistol i had taken from Tahir over to them.
|+100 Power EXPx5|
"Good, a smart man. Now get out with your hands up."
I put my hands up, and slowly got up. The door opened, and 20 guys entered, aiming at me.
"This is a privilege i am giving you, Spectre. You are a lion among sheep, just like me, so i respect you. Sadly, you've showed me hostility, so we must stand at opposites."
I stayed silent. One of the men approached and cuffed me. When he was going to put a gag, Rais stopped him.
"There's no need for that. He has nothing to say, nor does he have anyone to ask help to."
The men started escorting me and Rais to this supposed pit. Atleast Kadir kept his mouth shut during the travel. We travelled through the complex, while the integrants of the little gang threw remarks at me, such as "you will die" and "hasta la vista, GRE trash". I must remain patient, their time to burn will come. What Kadir called the "Pit" was the hole made for the foundation to one of the complex's buildings. They locked me in, so i looked for something sharp to cut my cuffs. I found some road spikes on one of the containers, and used them to cut the cuffs. Kadir started his little speech.
"I know you people were expectant of this moment. Ever since Tahir told us about the man GRE sent us, we've been expecting what kind of fun he would bring us. I am proud to say that the GRE did not disrespect me, and sent the best of the best. I present to you, gentlemen, the 'Spectre', in flesh. They've sent the goddamned Regicide Master down, you know what that means? That they consider me a king, and you all are my loyal subjects. So i ask you, do any of you want to see blood be spilled by one of the most wanted criminals of history?"
The dumb fucks cheered him on.
"Well then, release the horde! To our friend down there, a gift."
The containers bust open. Rais had thrown down a machete, so i ran to pick it up. The horde he spoke of were eightyish zombies, some virals included. I started running on the direction of one of the containers while dodging the zombie sthat tried to stop me. Getting on top of it, i started kicking the zombies that tried to climb. The crowd started booing.
"It seems the crowd is not pleased. You know what that means, release Hercules."
One of the guys besides Kadir pulled down a lever, which made the big door unlock, and an armored zombie of atleast 10 feet bust through, a type i've never saw before. The crowd cheered while i inspected it.

I copied his strenght. I started going on his direction while using the zombies as platforms. It was ramming everything on its way, so i jumped over its head, making him kill the horde behind me. The crowd cheered. I started following behind the big dude, who did not stop his charge until he hit the wall. The wall shook, making some of Rais's men fall down and splat on the ground, which prompted the crowd to cheer even more. Hercules was stunned because of the hit, so i managed to hit the upper part of one of its legs, breaking the machete and snapping the bone, the pain made it start to throw random punches around. It tried charging at me, but stumbled because of the broken leg, i used his down time to look for a new weapon. Finding a metal pipe, i walked over to the zombie, which struggled to get up, and started pushing the pipe on its back, encountering resistance, i bent the pipe and stomped it in. With its spine nowbroken, hercules screamed and tried getting up with his arms, but failed to do so. I started stomping on its head, and didn't stop till nothing but paste remained. What a relaxating experience. The crowd went silent.

"How?"
Kadir asked. I started walking to one of the containers, killing the zombies that remained with my hands. When inside, i took the molotovs, the gun, and the stimulants out. I took one of the stimulants, arranged my pistol, and locked on the molotov bottles. I took the radio that the dumbasses had forgot to take and contacted the GRE.
"I need the cover up."
"Roger."
I got outside the container, threw the five molotovs, shot them, then did the same with more five. I ran inside the container to hide from the rain of fire. This time, the crowd screamed, but not out of excitement.

I got out of the container, and saw the places where the crowd was were burning. My plan was not killing them, but making them disperse. What i did with Hercules must've made them afraid. I ran at the door i had passed through to reach this little arena. I kicked it open, and started making my way to the place where Rais must've ran to. Nobody was there to make any kind of resisting, so i got to the locked door rapidly. I kicked it open, and saw 7 people running, i locked on to five of them, hitting them in their legs, i started sprinting at them. The limping people tried shooting back at me, so i threw knives at their shoulders. The two who had not been hit reached a door and closed it behind them, making the five limping guys start banging at it with their functional arms. I slowed down and started reloading my gun while the men continued trying to open the door, to no avail. I reached them, so they looked back at me, one of them taking his pistol and trying to shoot at me, but i shot first. The others started crying.
"Did any of you see Rais?"
"H-h-h-he wa-was the one to close the door!"
The man said, then shakily pointed his rifle at me, using the functional arm to hold it. He obviously missed the shot, so i killed him and his friends. I kicked the door open, and started running after Kadir. They must've heard the door being busted open, because one of them them stayed behind, as if he could buy time to the other one, how cute. I shot the one who stayed behind on the head, and hit the other on both legs. I started reloading once again. I reached the struggling Rais, so he turned and tried shooting me, but i stepped on his back before he could. I picked him up by the back of his head, and spoke on his ear.
"I offered you an equivalent exchange and you refused me. Now, it is unequivalent. Tell me where are the files and i'll kill you quickly."
He tried elbowing me, but i dislocated his shoulder before he could do anything, making him scream out in pain.
"You've given me a second chance, so i returned the favor. Your second chance is gone now."
I dislocated his other shoulder, and took him in a potato carry.
"Wai-i-i-it, i'll show you. Just give me a map of the city and i'll show you."
"No buying time. Tell me."
"If i tell you, how do i know you will not kill me?"
"I will kill you. What you should be thinking about is how do you want to go out."
"Look, i tell you the location, and you set me free, okay?"
"No."
"What?"
I put him down and started inspecting him, to see if he had anything that could trace his position. I saw nothing of the like, so i broke his radio, threw his gun out, gagged him with a piece of his clothes and started running back to my base. Sneaking by was easy considering the chaos, so i arrived shortly, put him down on one of the chairs, took a metal pipe laying there, and broke his kneecaps, making him scream out in pain.
I went through the things i had scavenged, took some flextape, and used it to bind him to the chair. I took the cloth out of his mouth, and he started screaming, so i slapped him and sat on my own chair.
"Screaming is of no use. I made sure no sound could get out of this place."
He had stopped because of the slap.
"Look, we can talk things over. I give you the file, and you get me out of here."
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because i can get the information out of you anyway. I've given you a second chance, a quick escape, but you didn't take it."
"You are very unreasonable."
"Yes."
I looked over through the drugs i had. I picked up a strong stimulant, and injected it on his arm. Then i picked up pliers, and pulled off one of his nails, making him scream. But he gritted his teeth. I picked up one of the melding tools, and started burning his skin. He screamed loudly until he lost his breath, then started wheezing. Considering the burn to be good enough, i threw salt on his wounds, literally. I took one of my wrenchs, then broke his arm, seeing him gritting his teeth, i broke the other one. I took a screwdriver, then perforated his liver, seeing it was not enough, i picked a philips screwdriver and perforated one of his kidneys. This drove him over the edge. So quick? What a pity.
"Okay, okay, i'll talk, just please stop."
I started turning one of the screwdrivers inside him.
"I SAID STOP! THE SCHOOL! THE FILES ARE ON THE SCHOOL!"
"Are you sure?"
I asked while continuing to turn the screw.
"I-i-i am! Just stop, please."
I cut the tapes binding him to the chair, then picked him up by the neck. I opened the door, and started going to the bus station while carrying him. He had lost consciouness when i arrived there, so i took the screwdrivers, wiped them on his clothes, and threw him down to the infected. They ate him quite rapidly. I went back to my base, took the canister of sarin i had made, a hazmat suit, a mask, then started going to the school. I looked for a way to the roof, bu then i decided to try something. I put strenght on my legs and jumped, managing to reach one of the ACs on the second floor. I went from there to the roof. I put on the suit, then dropped the canister inside the ventilation system. The liquid started evaporating, and started being dispersed around the building. I waited 5 minutes, then went inside. I saw some of rais's men convulsioning, while others had already died. I entered one of the class rooms, and rummaged through everything, no signs of the files, i did the same with all the classrooms on the top floor, but found nothing. Doing the same on the ground floor, i found nothing as well.

This was the draft for the next chapter i never finished. I decided that i should post it simply because it would be better to publish it than to keep it on my PC only. Anyways, thank you for reading.
