BXBX NOVEL Chapter 23 - Home Visit
As the information keeps on surging on Nile\'s mind. He also gradually understood the \'Talent\', \'Weapon Master\' more.
A Weapon Master can wield any kind of weapon. By the term \'any weapon\' it means everything. Like what the Talent description stated, a weapon could be anything and anything could be a weapon.
The surroundings are a weapon. Even shoelace could be a weapon. Heck, Nile died in the previous world because of his shoe lace.
After a few minutes, the foreign memories are now etched inside Nile\'s brain. On these memories were the various objects that could be used as a weapon and on how to utilize them. Of course, as the Weapon Master Talent was still only a Level One° Talent, the usage that was shown on every object was limited into various simple applications.
For example, you could use a pebble as a weapon by throwing it. You could also use a pebble as ammunition. You could use shoelace as a trap trigger. You could use shoelace as a means to strangle opponents. This kind of information is now etched on Nile\'s mind because of the Level One° Weapon Master Talent.
As it was already past noon and even if Nile was not hungry, he still decided to eat to fill his stomach. He doesn\'t want to end up dying not because of zombies, but because of another hunger. That would be embarrassing.
He ate a lot, maybe because of the side effects of him becoming a Level One° or for other various reasons. His food provisions that were supposed to last tomorrow are now finished all of a sudden. He decided not to be frugal as he was already at Level One° he could afford to search places such as any Village and Hamlet, so long as the area will not have any Level Two° zombies, he will be safe.
After eating, he scoured all of the houses around the area, all of them.
When the sun was ready to set, Nile was also already done visiting all the houses.
After his \'home visit\' act, he manages to kill a few Level Zero° zombies, half-step Level One° zombies, and one genuine Level One° zombie that is hiding at the periphery of the area.
He also looted some food supplies, according to his latest consumption, this would at the least last for more than a day.
He returned towards the small mansion of the Councilor as he felt that this was an opportunity to sleep at a mansion. He returned to the room that he had used earlier.
Upon glancing at the mirror, he suddenly felt embarrassed. After already finishing all the zombies at the territory, and after visiting all of the houses.
Only now did he realize after glancing at the mirror, that he was currently only wearing underwear.
\'Luckily there\'s only zombies around here. If there are other people or survivors I might\'ve embarrass myself further\'
What should other people think if they see someone running across the street while only wearing underwear?
They would probably think of him as a pervert or someone who is a clean freak.
As it is during an Apocalypse time, some may consider you having nothing to eat. But nothing to wear?
They would probably shout at him. "There are lots of houses there, go find some clothes".
After wearing the outfits that he brought from his house, he decided to lay in the bed as it is already getting darker.
During the first month of the Apocalypse, electricity and other utilities have stopped working. Or rather, it was forced to shut down, because of the chaos, and because there was no one left to manage these facilities. These facilities are of course going to be shut down; some of them might have been destroyed in the process. As the workers must have been infected, or they might\'ve already fled to seek shelters, the facilities will be left on their own.
Over consumption of electricity, as the appliances will be left, they will heat up, some of them may have caught fire, some of them may have exploded directly.
The village and the hamlet\'s situation will be light, as the houses are not overcrowded, and the appliances usage was only light. A house getting caught in a fire will not affect the surroundings by much. At most only 4-5 houses will be caught on fire.
But in the city or town where houses, buildings and other facilities are very much clustered, one building caughting a fire will create a massive chain reaction.
A month after the Apocalypse, electricity, water stations, broadcasting stations etc. are all forced to shutdown.
Two months after the Apocalypse, you could only see lights during night time because of solar energy powered lights or other lighting systems that did not use the local electric company\'s service. And of course, because of natural lights, such as the stars and the moon.
Even though the room is dark, Nile did not have any problem seeing two meters ahead of him because of his improved \'Will\' and \'Body\', as the \'Body\' and \'Will\' improved, the senses of a human will also comes along with it. Not only the sense of sight, the sense of feeling, hearing, taste and smell is also included.
...
As Nile stared at the ceiling of the mansion, his brain was working rather fast as he contemplated what had happened earlier and what he had to do in the future.
\'I\'m so careless, if the one I\'ve encountered before is a Level Two° zombie, I might have already died now.\' Lamenting on his carelessness, Nile pondered on what he should do and what he should avoid in the future considering his strength.
As it is still Day 1 since Nile has started killing zombies and collecting the Apocalypse Virus.
His progress is rather fast, but this also leads to the situation where he is quite rash. Although he thinks before acting, he acts without investigating.
Right now, Nile could be considered as strong but inexperienced.
Just like what happened in the Level One° zombie battle. He could have defeated the Level One° zombie if he had investigated and prepared enough. The moment he realizes that the 18 zombies outside the small mansion are already at half-step Level One° he should have already known that either they don\'t want to Level Up into a genuine Level One° or there is a stronger Zombie controlling them. And the latter scenario should have the best possibility to happen.
After knowing that there was a Level One° zombie controlling the various half-step zombies. He could then prepare and not be taken in surprise the moment he enters the small mansion.
But he could no longer do anything as it had already happened. What he needed to do was to avoid making the same mistake again.
His thoughts drifted from what he had done and what he needed to do. As time passed by, his eyelids fell and only after the sun was already high did he wake up.
