Chapter 3 - Zombie Culling

The zombies were holding axes and chainsaws but Allen wasn't worried in the slightest bit.

Why?

'Cause they're dumb. Kuh~'

He could tell, seeing them dragging the axe or holding the blade rather than the handle.

At max, they would only be able to swing it with the accuracy of an idiot.

"...?!"

The zombies that were supposed to have no feelings except intense hunger seemingly flinched as they saw Allen stare at them as if they were prey.

"Grraarrghh!!"

Zombie Remy roared as he charged forward first, followed by the others.

Allen switched to a one-handed axe before throwing it in Remy's direction intentionally avoiding the head.

CHAK!

Thud!

The axe struck Remy's left leg and ripped it off from his body as he fell face first and pungent black-green blood spilled on the ground in copious amounts .

'Don't worry. I will play with you for all the suffering you caused me after killing them.' Allen thought before walking out of the break room completely.

He waited for the zombies to come closer to him and when they entered a certain range, he rotated a full 360 degrees as he swung his axe.

Kaching!

He cleanly cleaved apart 5 zombie heads from their bodies with his sharp axe.

[Ding!

Congratulations!

You've killed an Undead-Zombie for the first time!

Reward: 50 SP!]

[Ding!

Congratulations!

Reward: 25 SP!]

Multiple notifications popped up but Allen ignored it for now as he left the axe and picked up a chainsaw from one of the fallen zombies.

"Grooarrghh!!"

The zombies still ran towards him despite witnessing the murder of their brethren.

"C'mon, you bastards!!"

Allen cursed as he charged at them.

[Ding!

Congratulations!

You've killed 1 Undead-Zombie!

Reward: 5 SP!]

[Ding!

Congratulations!

You've killed…]

Notifications kept popping up as Allen kept culling the zombies who charged at him with the intention of making him one of them.

Soon, he was done with killing almost all of them.

He then looked at the last one remaining, Remy. He was slowly crawling towards him with his hands despite losing a leg to an earlier attack by Allen.

"Haah… this is no fun. You guys don't feel any pain whatsoever. There is no point in torturing you and wasting my time." Allen sighingly said, slightly disappointed.

Chak!

He threw another axe at Remy, ending his life in one go as it stuck his skull, brain matter splitting everywhere.

[Ding!

Congratulations!

You've killed 1 Undead-Zombie!

Reward: 5 SP!]

[Quest- Zombie Culling has been completed!

Reward: 60 SP!]

"Burn in hell bitch."

He said in a cold voice as he looked at the corpse before plopping to the ground.

"Haah… what just happened. Zombies that were only in fiction came to reality and I awakened a system like in those comics and killed the mofos with a smile on my face… Strange… so very strange." Allen said, recounting the events that had occurred.

He caught his breath for a few minutes before opening his mouth.

"Hmm, how do I go on with this? If it's like the games then… System." He called out.

[Yes, Host Allen Cross?]

An emotionless voice echoed in his head.

'So that's how it works.' He thought.

"Say, you won't happen to know about the cause of the zombie situation, would you?" Allen asked.

[I don't.]

"Thought so. Then, was it random or did someone give you to me?"

[I can't answer that.]

'It isn't saying no. Cheeky little fella…'

"Then, tell me about yourself, The Super Market System."

[Sure.

The Super Market System, allows its host to buy simple things from milk, eggs, water to sophisticated weaponry such as guns, tanks, helicopters, and even power armor in exchange for System Points.

To earn SP, you must complete the tasks given to you by the System within the time frame. Failure to do so will be met with punishment depending on the importance of the quest failed.]

"I see."

Allen nodded.

'This makes things so much easier for me.' He thought, inwardly smiling.

"Can you show me the things available for purchase?" He asked.

[Yes.]

Saying that, a translucent screen appeared in Allen's view as he could see the items available.

[Super Market

Milk- 20 SP/L Water- 10 SP/L Eggs- 5 SP/Pc Potatoes- 10 SP/Kg Canola Oil- 40 SP/L Onions- 10 SP/Kg Toilet Tissue- 10 SP/Roll Box Tissue- 15 SP/Box Milk Coffee- 20 SP/Cup Milk Tea- 15 SP/Cup Kitchen Knife- 50 SP/unit Sugar- 25 SP/Kg Salt- 10 SP/Kg Condoms (0.01 mm)- 20 SP/Pkt Cola- 30 SP/L Apples- 60 SP/Kg Watermelon- 30 SP/Kg Butter- 40 SP/Bar Chocolate- 30 SP/Bar Ice Cream- 100 SP/L]

Allen read the items and was happy that nothing was too overtly expensive.

'The condoms are a bit useless since I mostly have raw unprotected sex.' He thought.

"System, didn't you say there will be guns, choppers and tanks as well. Why don't I see them listed out over here?" Allen asked, confused at not seeing the items he expected.

[That is because the Super Market is only at Level 1 right now. The more the market levels up, the more and new items available for purchase including weapons.] The System replied.

"What do I need to do so that the Super Market levels up?"

[You need to feed SP to the Market.]

"Even the Market needs SP?" Allen asked.

[Yes, it certainly does.]

"Then, how many SP do I need currently for the Mart to level up?"

[You need to feed the Super Market 100 SP for it to level up.]

"That's actually quite cheap. I thought it'd be more expensive." Allen said with a raised brow. He had honestly expected it to be at least a 1000 SP but it seems he was wrong.

'Not that I'm complaining.' He thought, happy that it was so cheap.

[That is only for Level 2, Host. The next level will be more and so on and so forth.] The System said, bursting his bubble of hope.
