'Revolving Water Arrow is catching up to my Water Manipulation skill!' Michael had received Water Manipulation skill first yet the growth of the Revolving Water Arrow was increasing nonstop.

'Then that proves that fighting would make me even more stronger.' Along with the level ups that increase his main attributes by one, he had three free stats that he can allocate. Even better, he had skills that grow stronger if he fought more.

*Thud x7*

Above him, he heard something falling onto the ground very hard. Then after that initial fall, there were repeated sounds of other things falling.

'What the...' Seriously confused, Michael wanted to to check out what was going on. But he restrained himself.

'Everyone knows not to go towards the sound in a horror movie.' If Michael was the person in the horror movie, then he would probably die once he went near the noises above him. He even suspected that the people who died earlier from those two zombies were rolling down the stairs to get to him faster. Or they were too stupid to walk down correctly.

'For now... I should get out of this building!' Feeling as if the zombies are about to catch up soon, Michael quickly left the emergency exit and arrived at the side of the dorm.

'Not minding the danger of zombies, what would I need to survive from here on?' Michael suspected that this wasn't only happening in his university. Rather it could be happening all over the country and maybe even the world.

'Food is a must. Even with powerful abilities, it can't replace the need for food.' He made a mental note to get some food in the future.

'Shelter? As long as I have a roof and a blanket, I can literally sleep in any building.' Another mental note to get a comfy blanket.

'Clothing? It's already late fall, closing in onto winter. Maybe I should get some clothing from the mall.' Last and final mental note to get clothing.

As XXX University had a huge student population, multiple smart businessmen decided to build fast food restaurants and malls for getting quick and easy profit from naive college students. Although Michael was once one of those naive students that got ripped off once or twice he realized something good about this zombie apocalypse.

'Free stuff.' That's right. From food to clothing and even jewelry, they were all free. No one to stop you from taking anything and what may have been months of salary to buy could be achieved in a few seconds.

Sneaking around for any potential danger, Michael inwardly gave a compliment to whoever designed the campus. With the dorm buildings so close to the entrance, all he had to do was give an occasional gift to the zombies. A gift of death.

Minutes later, as Micheal closed in on the entrance of the university, he spotted a trio of students fending off two zombies. Two of them were males and one of them was a female. He even knew all of them, although they wouldn't have a slightest clue on who he was. The female was the number one beauty of the University, Jessica. The two males were the team captain of basketball and team captain of the volleyball team, Krillin and Denny respectively.

In a triangle formation of the two boys in front and the girl in the back, Krillin showcased a skill that made him have a pair of Iron Fist. Whereas Denny was fast with his feet and the most eye catching was Jessica. Along with her beauty, she even had the ability to cast heal. No, rather it was high speed regeneration. What appeared to be recovering in an instant was actually just the skin cells repairing at a high speed in his eyes.

"Krillin! To your left!" Jessica noticed on quickly and yelled out hysterically to warn Krillin of the impending danger. Seven zombies shot out of nowhere and pounced at Krillin's defenseless rear.

"Aghh!" Immensely shocked, Krillin had no time to respond to their attacks. After all, it was only the first day of the zombie apocalypse. To even know how to efficiently use their abilities like Micheal was already a miracle. To survive a surprise attack from seven zombies with enhanced physical abilities, not even Michael could respond properly.

However, Michael wasn't the one who was being ambushed. Rather he was the person observing the whole situation being played out. Right now he had two arrows waiting to be shot at any time.

*Whoosh*

With extreme accuracy from having a calm and concentrated mind, two of the seven zombies dropped dead mid air. But the two zombies that were killed didn't create any changes to Krillin's fate. The remaining zombies simply continued on and devoured Krillin's body ravenously.

Without any time to scream, the five zombies continued to chew and bite into Krillin's raw flesh and skin with relish. What appeared after the zombies stood up was pieces of bones, blood splattered everywhere and a half-eaten heart.

"Blaargh." Maybe it was because of the gory scene or the fact that she saw someone get eaten right in front of her, Jessica threw up. Her stomach acid splendidly flew onto the ground and her tears streamed down her cheeks. However this created no sympathy in the hearts of the zombies. Rather, they didn't even have hearts because they were dead and simply thought of eating her.

"Aaaahhhh." Denny ran madly into the pack of zombies and hit one the zombies in the head with a pipe from god-knows-where he got it from. Using the momentum from running, he generated enough power to blow the brains out of one zombie. But one wasn't enough. The other four were right next to Denny and he too, also had the same fate as Krillin. Even worse, the two zombies that they were initially fighting joined up with the remaining zombies. With six zombies right in front of her, her knees turned weak and she dropped to the ground.

"I'm sorry mother... father. Krillin... Denny... I'm sorry I wasn't able to help you two." Tears once more flowed down her cheeks when she recalled their untimely deaths.
