Into the Zombie World

Chapter 95 - Rejuvenating Lollipop And Cold Water



Spikes rising like a porcupine, Croco glared threateningly at Bruno\'s group. At his back, Nile was stretching his wounded back as he held the two swords with one hand. Nile then hid his left hand in his back as he bought a rejuvenating lollipop from the system.

The rejuvenating lollipop cost Nile 15 Apocalypse Points. It has the function of healing minor wounds within five minutes.

"I need four to five minutes Croc!" Nile said as he peeled the rejuvenating lollipop\'s plastic wrapper using his mouth. After spitting the plastic wrapper, Nile put the lollipop inside his mouth and started to suck it.

The lollipop was sweet and a tinge of sourness-- not a tangerine but tamarind flavor. The lollipop melted in Nile\'s mouth as his saliva that floods like a river coated it entirely.

Croco nodded but did not initiate an attack. The goal was to hold the turf, not to kill as many as possible within five minutes.

The group was confused by Nile\'s action. Eating lollipops all of a sudden? What for? To enjoy your last moment?

And the crocodile? The group was not wary of it. Even if it had already killed one of their comrades, so what? Can it be stronger than the bat that they had killed?

"Ehh? Look closely, are his wounds healing?" One of the gang doubtfully asks while pointing at Nile. Aside from Bruno, this particular gang member was the closest from Nile. The surroundings were dark, so he could not see it clearly, but he somehow noticed that Nile\'s wounds were patching up slowly.

The other gang members focused their eyes on Nile, and they confirmed that his wounds were really healing at speed visible to the naked eye.

They widened their eyes in alarm, seeing Nile\'s state getting better every second.

Now that was worrying.

"Kill him now, or you might regret it later," Bruno urgently said as he dashed towards Nile. The gang members were awakened from their thoughts as they also pounced towards Nile at the same time.

Nile was ultimately stronger than them. He had two strong weapons. And those peculiar moves that he exhibited during the fight were pretty troublesome. If not for their numbers, they would have already died by now.

They no longer hesitated and attacked all at once. If they couldn\'t kill Nile until all his wounds healed up, they would be dead for sure. Instead of one accompanying Nile to the afterlife, the situation might turn into something undesirable for them. They might even end up escorting each other to the afterlife instead.

Unfortunately, they would not be able to close into Nile that easily. Croco was defending Nile after all.

Bruno arrived first and leaped over Croco\'s back, intending to land right in front of Nile.

Unfortunately, Croco was able to block him by raising his right arm in the air, slapping Bruno, who was flying at that time. Bruno\'s body got tossed away for a few meters before he could stabilize himself.

The remaining gang members arrived at this time. Some of them attacked Croco, while some of them circled the crocodile and tried to attack Nile directly.

Croco swung his body and deflected those aiming at him. Using his arm-blade, Croco was able to injure the chest of one of them. He then instantly turned his body to the back and confronted those who were aiming at Nile.

As the gang was mostly injured, Croco deflected their attacks easily, even if he had only evolved earlier.

There was an attack that Croco failed to deflect, but now that Nile\'s minor wounds had mostly healed, he was now able to move freely compared to before. Croco then slashed the leg of that attacker who slipped his watch, crippling the man directly.

Nile sidestepped to the right and retreated to maintain a distance from the attackers. The lollipop had already done its jobs, and the only thing left from it was the stick.

Waving his hand, a bottle of cold water materialized in Nile\'s palm. Using the Katana, he immediately cut open the bottle\'s cap. He raised his head and gulped the cold water instantly. A refreshing feeling washed over Nile\'s exhausted body.

That cold water cost him 5 Apocalypse Points.

[Level One° Bottle of Cold Water: Drenched in sweat after farming all day? Your body got exhausted in the middle of something? Could not finish something you want because of exhaustion? Then a bottle of cold water is all you need. Instantly refills 2.0 worth of energy. Continue with your endeavor, young man.

/5 Apocalypse Points per bottle]

"Pheww!" Nile threw the empty bottle inside the storage space and exhaled a heavy breath. Nile\'s exhaustion melted away along with that exhale. After finishing the whole bottle of cold water, Nile\'s energy that was on 2.94 previously instantly went up to 4.94. Having half of Energy left was definitely better than only having a fourth of it.

With renewed vigor, Nile leaped and instantly arrived behind those circling Croco. A terrifying glint was emitted from his eyes as a murderous aura rose from his body. The lucky man who Nile had chosen to kill felt cold all of a sudden. He was just about to turn his head to the back when he suddenly noticed that the world was spinning. He then saw a headless body that was already starting to fall. His thoughts stopped after that. His eyes were still wide open when his head dropped and rolled to the ground.

Nile leaped again and rotated his body midair as he round-house kicked the man in his right. The kick landed right on the man\'s head. The man\'s body spun for a good 360 degrees before his head got impaled on Croco\'s spiky back. A combination of Master of Close Combat and the Weapon\'s Master talent. 

Croco lightly shook his body to get rid of the man on his back. Twirling his body to the other side, he made a surprise sweep as one of the gang members\' legs got cut instantly.

Bruno observed the battle from afar, ever since he got tossed back by Croco earlier, he did not act rashly and instead observed the situation first. Seeing their numbers decreasing constantly, Bruno did not hesitate anymore as he tried to flee immediately.

The battle was no longer in their favor. They were all wounded, and their stamina was already on the low bar. However, their enemy was still alive and kicking. He even has a strong animal as his sidekick.

Bruno\'s fat belly kept on bouncing as he ran away as far as possible. There were still eight gang members left occupying Nile and Croco.

However, Nile would no longer let go of someone who had become his enemy. They would just add to his future problems.

Nile tossed the Kriegsmesser in the air. He reaches his hand and grips the handle of the sword, just like when one was holding a javelin that was ready to throw.

Swoosh*!

Nile gathered all of his strength in his arm and threw the Kriegsmesser of Agony towards the fleeing fatty.

Argghhh*!

A moment later, Bruno\'s tragic scream echoed in this silent night. His right stomach got pierced by the sword. Because of the strength that Nile puts in it, the sword got even impaled on the ground pinning Bruno\'s body in the ground, respectively.

Bruno was still screaming like a baby when Nile had already turned his attention towards the remaining gang members again.

Croco\'s hard and metallic body already had a few cuts and some scratches around it. Nile dashed and swirled his body in midair. Two hands got sliced from that move. His body stopped abruptly in the middle of the two men whose hands just got cut. Holding the Katana with both hands, Nile made a 360 degrees sweep slash as two heads flew to the air.

Croco also did his best and was able to kill three of the remaining men by cutting their legs off before proceeding to behead them.

Nile\'s hoodie, pants, and mask were already tattered due to the battle earlier. Nile tore off the remaining piece of the black face mask off his face and threw it inside the Storage Space.

Dragging the Katana of Liberation, Nile sauntered towards the impaled Bruno in the distance. Bruno was still madly screaming while trying to remove the sword out from his body.

The pain he felt was no joke. It was as if all his fats were burning due to the pain. He was sweating all over as the ground under him was covered with blood.

The blade of the Katana screeched in the ground as trails of blood were left behind its path.

Nile arrived at Bruno\'s side, and he directly pulled out the Kriegsmesser of Agony from the man\'s stomach. However, before Bruno could rejoice, his mind went blank as his head rolled to the ground.

Nile sauntered towards the house while his two swords kept on producing screeching sound due to them scraping the ground. Two trails of blood were left behind the scraped ground under the two bloody swords.

Nile didn\'t waste his time on killing Bruno and chose to end the man quickly.

Croco had just informed him that Max was not in good condition, and he needed immediate help. Croco also briefly told him of what had happened inside.

Nil was silent as he sauntered towards the house. He still had a woman to torture. It\'s best to preserve his energy by not speaking.

...

Tens of meters away from the location of the battle. Five people were doing their best not to scream. Sweats were streaming from their forehead as they stared at each other.

One man in the middle, who was supported by a bulky man on his left and a voluptuous lady on the right, smiled wryly and said, "For... Forget what I said earlier. Let\'s forget what had happened before and not seek any form of vengeance."

Hearing him say that, the four remaining people nodded their heads vigorously in affirmation.

All of them then tiptoed and slowly disappeared from the place.
