CH : 15 Reaching level 10, Upgrading the Skill

The bullets hit Draugr, and just slipped past his bones.

Draugr's body just trembled a bit, and soon with a bony hand grabbed the policewoman's right hand, took her pistol, and then forced the female policewoman to the ground.

Sounds of gunshots dissipated, Ethan came in from the main entrance.

"Who are you? This is a police firearms storage room, you are trespassing without permission, and have committed a severe crime." On the ground, female police officers stared at Ethan, and said.

Ethan walked in front of the policewomen, waved his hand at Draugr. Draugr then quickly let go of the policewoman that it suppressed: "My name is Ethan. I'm sorry, but the world has ended and so did the law with it, and I need to be armed with weapons in order to survive. Beyond that, I don't have any malicious intent. Officer, what's your name?"

"My name is Sydney. What is this?" Sydney stood up, pointed to Draugr standing beside Ethan, and asked.

Ethan asked: "Did you hear the voice that claims to be God? And possibly be the God"

"I heard it! Did you?" Sydney's facial expression changed, she thought that she was the only person who heard the strange voice.

Ethan explained: "That skeleton was obtained by me in the Magical System of the God and Devil, it is one of the skills. "

Sydney's eyes flashing with eagerness asked: "How do you get that kind of ability?"

This special skeleton is not afraid of being shot, and has extraordinary fighting abilities. Sydney also wanted to get this magic ability.

Ethan casually says: "If you dare to kill zombies, after obtaining the corresponding skill books, you can obtain skills but I don't think you or anyone can obtain a skill similar to mine."

"You are the one safeguarding the firearms?" Ethan asked Sydney.

Sydney shook her head, and said: "No! Can you give me the pistol?"

"No!" Ethan outright refused. He can't just let someone who had just threatened him with the weapon have it back.

The level 2 Protective Garment can withstand small calibre bullets, but it can not protect everything. If it hit him in the head, he would die.

"Destroy the safe!" Ethan looked at the safe in the room and ordered Draugr.

Draugr immediately swung his axe, smashing the safe's lock. The safe's lock broke after 3 hits.

Ethan opened the gun safe, revealing row upon row of guns.

"Type 54 pistols, Type 79 submachine gun, Type 85 sniper, good stuff, really good stuff!" Ethan stared at row upon row of guns in the safe with a surprised look in his eyes.

Guns represent power, only those with power will have a greater chance of survival in these last days.

Ethan after several strengthening is now unafraid of ordinary zombies, but he is only one man after all. So his power and effectiveness is limited. In addition, melee combat consumes a lot of stamina. With firearms, he will be able survive better.

Ethan quickly packed the firearms up, carrying some on his back, and some on Draugr.

Ethan looked at Sydney and asked: "Are you going to stay here, or come with me?"

"I'll go with you!" Sydney said without hesitation. Stay here and die, she didn't want to die.

Ethan and Draugr carrying the guns, along with Sydney, quickly withdrew to the school bus.

"Lots of guns!" Julia rushed over, looked at a pile of guns, picked up a Type 54 pistol while playing with it as if it was a toy.

William looked at the pile of guns, his eyes glinting a strange light. The old world order has collapsed, before the new world order is established, having guns means having power.

Luna and Grace were to the side watching. Seeing those guns, both their eyes lit up.

"The bullets?" Luke took a Type 79 submachine gun playing around with it, then asked.

"Not enough hands! Could only take that much at once. Watch her, don't let her touch the guns. I'll go find the bullets." Ethan finished saying while pointing at Sydney then rushed off the school bus with Draugr.

Ethan soon found the ammunition storage room in the police station.

Draugr broke the ammunition storage room's lock with his axe. A rotten-faced zombie dressed in police uniforms staggered towards Ethan from inside.

Ethan decapitated the zombie with his sword, then a ball of light flew into his body.

{Congratulations, you have been promoted to level 10. You have 2 stats points, please assign you points.}

"Distribute 1 point to Stamina, 1 point to Agility." Ethan quickly made the choice.

{Congratulations, you have been promoted to level 10. You have gained 1 skill point, please select the skill to upgrade, or you can retain it.}

"Skill point?" Ethan's eyes lit up, immediately made a choice: "Immediately upgrade the Necromancer's Pect skill!"

From within Ethan, a flash of white light surges out of his body into Draugr forming a rune.

The rune on the Skeleton starts to absorb the white lights and begins to transform. On the skeleton, many esoteric runes appeared.

When after the runes formed, a black light emitted from between Ethan's eyebrows, fell upon Draugr.

Absorbing the black light, Draugr begins to change. Its bones began to change from all white to cyan.

{"Due to the upgrade of your skill 'Necromancer's Pact,' your Special Skeleton has evolved and acquired a new skill. Please select the skill to bestow upon it. 

Skill 1: Reinforced Bones. This ability fortifies the Special Skeleton's bones, making them significantly harder and more resistant to damage. 

Skill 2: Bone Manipulation. This skill grants the Special Skeleton the ability to freely manipulate its own bones, enabling it to perform more unpredictable and bizarre attacks.

Note: Any future Special Skeletons summoned through 'Necromancer's Pact' skill will automatically possess the chosen skill."} 

"Select skill 1, Reinforced Bones!" Ethan thought for a moment, then made the choice.

Currently, the most important thing missing on Ethan's team is a strong shield. Draugr's skeleton body is not very strong, and if surrounded by a group of zombies, all the bones can be removed easily. Thus losing the battle and losing his first summon for forever.

In addition, the Special Skeletons he summons will now possess this skill, leading to much better stats than usual. That's excellent!

After Ethan made the choice, a black light flashing, on top of the chest of Draugr, many mysterious black runes appeared. The moment when the runes formed, Draugr's body turned an eerie metallic sheen.

Special Skeleton (Draugr) Level 9

Endurance: 25 (10)

Agility: 23 (10)

Vitality: 23 (10)

Spirit: 23/23 (10)

Strength: 35 (10)

Skills: 

Bone Crafting, Minor Bone Regeneration, Reinforced Bones. 

After upgrading Summon, a Special Skeleton skill, Draugr not only acquired the skill of Reinforced Bones, its 5 stats also got an extra +7 points. It was now more than twice as strong as an average person.

After the upgrade to Draugr, the sound in Ethan's mind did not stop: "You have already been promoted to level 10, and now qualify for a novice mission."

{Mission summary: Search for Novice Village! The world has changed, in order to better evolve, the system in each of these cities has established a novice village. Novice village belongs to the safe area, and does not have mutated hostile monsters. Also have a job change system. Exchange System, and System Shops, Having a job enables you to become more powerful and gain expertise in a field. If you are first entrant to a novice village, the system will give you a generous reward.}

The piece of information sounded directly in Ethan's mind.

"Novice village? It seems that I have to change the plan." Ethan quietly thought. He originally intended to prepare by getting their hands on firearms and heading to Long Hai city. The novice mission has made him change his mind.

Only the fastest to adapt to this world will get the greatest abilities. Ethan right now just wants to be able to live a better life and give his close ones a happy fulfilling life.

Ethan took a look at the zombie's corpse on the ground, wearing gloves, searched the body for a bit, and found a set of keys.

Ethan picked up the keys and tested it on the ammunition safe, and soon opened the safe, exposing the inside where various ammunition boxes were stacked neatly.

"Finally!" Ethan looked at the boxes of ammunition, and had a satisfied look. With the ammunition, he has a better chance of surviving in this world.

Ethan and Draugr transported the ammunition several times, and soon all the ammunition was carried to the school bus.

Luke and Ethan each on the back carried the Type 79 submachine gun, body covered with magazines, looks like militants on television.

Luna, Grace, and Julia are each assigned a Type 54 pistol for self-defence with some safety instructions and guidelines for using it without risking harm.

Ultimately, their knowledge was not based on expertise but rather on their experience with FPS games like Call of Duty and YouTube Videos.

William also got a Type 54 pistol and 10 rounds of ammunition.

"Please give me back my pistol! I'm a policewoman, I won't hurt you." Sydney looked at Ethan's people, frowned, and requested. Without a pistol, she didn't feel secure.

Julia seized Ethan's arm and rocking like a baby said: "Big brother Ethan, give it back to her! Big sister Sydney is not bad. Without a pistol, what would she do if she encountered zombies?"

Ethan looked at Sydney and said: " Mrs Sydney! I can give you back your pistol, but I warn you, if you point your gun at us, then we will show you no mercy."

Sydney approached Ethan and said: "As long as you don't break the law, I will never point the gun at you."

Ethan stared at Sydney, shook his head, still threw the pistol to her.

Sydney in the past would be a good police officer. But in these last days, with such principles without power or protection, surviving would be difficult.

"Where are we going next?" Luna asked Ethan.

Ethan thought for a moment, in a deep voice said: "Go back to school, I promised the survivors of the girl's dormitory, if there is spare capacity and time, I will come save them. "

"Okay!" Luna immediately started the school bus and sped away toward the school.

On the way there, the school bus hit zombies. Because the school bus had too many collisions, it was beaten and bumpy.

"Not good, seems like we need to look for a new vehicle as soon as possible." Ethan looked at the beaten school bus, frowning slightly.

If the school bus continues with these impacts, soon it will be scrapped. Considering the differences, it's important to recognize that school buses are not built like tanks. The durability of Solara school buses may not match that of high-end nations like Valoria and Thaloria.

The school bus was speeding down the road. Ethan took out two sweet buns from his backpack, giving one to Luke, and then quickly eating the other one. After fighting all morning, he was hungry and tired.

Julia to Ethan said: "Big brother Ethan, I'm hungry too. Also give me a sweet bun."

Ethan took another sweet bun from his bag, then gave it to Julia.

Julia sat next to Ethan and began gobbling down the sweet bun.

Seeing them eat the sweet buns, Sydney swallows a mouthful of saliva. She has not eaten for more than a day.

Sydney hesitated, then said to Ethan: "Please give me a little something to eat, I have not eaten for a day."

Ethan looked at Sydney, then took two more sweet buns from his backpack and tossed it to Sydney.

"Thank you!" After Sydney politely thanked Ethan, immediately opened the plastic raper. Not caring about her image, started gulping down the food. She felt that from childhood till now, this was the most delicious sweet buns she had eaten.

The school bus sped towards Yun Hua University.

Hearing the sound of the school bus, the zombies outside the university began to stagger towards the school bus.

Running over dozens of zombies, the school bus finally stopped at the girl's dormitory.

The zombies surrounding the girl's dormitory hearing the sound staggered over.

Ethan and Luke took out their Type 79 submachine gun and switched off the safety, then pointed it at the zombies and started shooting.

Under the fire of the two submachine guns, the surrounding zombies were mowed down.

After they stopped shooting, the bullet ridden zombies either stood up or crawled over toward Ethan and Luke.

Only by damaging the zombie's brain can you kill them. Ethan and Luke fired hundreds of rounds of ammunition, but only killed 5 zombies. Their marksmanship can not be compared to even police officers forgetting about train soldiers. 

'I'm not getting any EXP using these heated weapons!' 

Ethan watched those zombies standing up again, and frowned. Even though his marksmanship is terrible, under the intense fire, several zombies dropped and did not get up again. However, he did not see the ball of white light going into his body or in Luke's body.

Also, the zombies that were killed by the bullets did not drop anything, not even a Survival Coin. When Ethan uses the novice staff and Imitation Tang Sword to kill zombies, at least a Survival Coin worth whatever will drop.

"Stop shooting! Luke, let's go!" Ethan immediately stopped firing, and said to Luke.

Luke nodded, picked up the Tang Sword and together with Ethan, headed toward the zombies.

Draugr has become unrivalled after his strengthening. Before Ethan and Luke broke into the group of zombies, Draugr with his axe in hand was like a whirlwind dancing in the group of zombies. The head of the zombie that got hit by the Draugr axe was instantly smashed open.

"Monster! Extremely scary!" On the school bus, Sydney looked at the unrivalled Draugr, eyes opened wide in astonishment.

"Amazing! When did Ethan's summon get so strong?" On the school bus, Luna watched Draugr wading through the group of zombies unhindered. Her eyes flashed a touch of disbelief as Draugr wantonly slaughtered the zombies. She has seen how powerful Draugr was before, but his power was still acceptable compared to an average person. However, his strength was now far beyond ordinary humans.

The dozens of zombies around the girl's dormitory were quickly eliminated by Draugr, Ethan, and Luke. Draugr alone killed more than 20 zombies, while the rest were killed by Ethan and Luke.

Dozens of zombies meagerly contributed a few dozen Survival Coins and an Apple of Vitality.

Luke stayed behind and guarded the school bus, while Ethan and Draugr headed towards the dormitory and rushed up the stairs.
