Within minutes, hundreds of zombies could be seen making their way towards Allen's position.
While Donovan started to sweat, Allen looked like he was on a field trip, excited but composed.
The moment the zombies spotted Allen and Donovan on top of the building they ran even faster like a bull seeing red.
Once they were within range, Allen raised his left hand forward.
Vhuumm
A strange sound came from the Magnetic Gauntlet as it glowed with a dull blue light, indicating its activation.
Ckkrrkuk!
Allen lifted two SUVs in the air and when the zombies came closer, he lowered his hand and violently dropped the vehicles.
CRRAASH!
BBOOOM!!
The SUVs fell on the approaching zombies and crushed them flat as the engines exploded into flames, burning the ones that were still running.
"GGRRAAAHAGH!!"
The zombies roared as they were flattened and burned.
Hundreds of notifications appeared in front of Allen but he ignored them and focused on the zombies.
The initial strike easily killed hundreds but thousands more were nearing them.
Allen wasn't backing down either.
This time he lifted up a truck which had a fire symbol, indicating that it was an oil tanker…
Allen did the same thing, throwing the truck like it was a ragdoll towards the zombies. By the time it hit the ground, the earth turned into a sea of flames.
"..."
Donovan stared at this scene with an unbelievable look.
'Is this hell?'
It was normal for Donovan to think that way when everywhere he looked, the fire had consumed everything in his field of vision.
'This man… is he even human?' Donovan thought, his fear for Allen's ruthlessness increasing each second and so was the respect for the power he displayed.
Amidst this fiery landscape, Allen looked at a specific point as if there was something beyond the flames.
WHOOSH!
PPHOO!
A dark humanoid figure shot out of the fire as it barrelled towards Allen at blinding speed.
[Host, that's a Grade 2 Undead, The Hopper!] The System said, letting Allen know of the new foe's identity.
'I know. I just got a quest to kill it.' Allen thought as the quest panel flowed beside him.
[Quest- Kick Bastard

Time Limit: 30 minutes
Rewards: i) Bullet-Proof Vest X1, ii) Water- 50 L, iii) Grenade X5, iv) Beef- 5 kg
Penalty: -10000 SP]
The penalty, although severe, didn't faze Allen much. After all, if the Hopper won, he'd be dead either way and would have no use for the System anymore.
"Hrrggaah!!"
The Hopper spun mid air and 'kicked' the wind as it raised its long claws and swiped at Allen!
"Haap!"
Grab!
Allen dodged the swipe and captured its wrist, immobilising the Hopper from using its arm.
"Hrrggah!"
However, the Hopper simply roared as it kicked Allen in his solar plexus!
DHUM!
Allen crashed into the wall and broke through it and was about to fall from the roof but stopped himself through the use of his Magnetic Gauntlet.
He stared at the 7 foot tall Undead with a leg-structure similar to that of kangaroos except more thick, with a murderous glint.
"Now you've angered me."
Dududududu!
He fired at the Hopper with his machine gun, only for it to easily dodge each and everyone with its dizzying speed.
Allen noted its intelligence in dodging the bullets as it realized if it didn't it would be riddled with holes.
Shing!
Allen brought out the Combat Knife from his inventory and used the Magnetic Gauntlet to control it. The scene seemed like a kid using a remote to control their toy plane.
Allen brought his hand forward and pointed in the direction of the Hopper.
Shing!
The knife followed Allen's command and cut through the air as it flew towards the Grade 2 Undead.
Whoosh!
The Hopper easily dodged it but the knife followed it no matter where it went.
While the Undead was busy with the flying combat knife, Allen was about to fire his machine gun when out of nowhere he saw a shadow that kept getting bigger and bigger beneath his feet.
Dash!
He didn't bother to look up and instantly bolted from that position.
BOOM!!
Another dark humanoid figure fell from the skies as it landed on the roof, cracking the ground beneath it.
Allen looked at it and recognized it as another Hopper.
'Tch, as if one wasn't enough.'
Allen inwardly clicked his tongue and complained.
Yet, he still wasn't worried.
'Fine, I won't hold back either.'
Wheesh
Allen sent the machine gun, Magnetic Gauntlet and the Combat Knife back to the inventory as he stared menacingly at the ashen faces of the two Undead.
'Hand to hand combat time.'
Whoosh!
Allen instantly turned into a blur and rushed at the second Hopper.
Before the Hopper could realize what had happened, Allen had already reached it and swung his fist.
BANG!
His punch connected with the Hopper as it was sent flying backwards.
Whoosh!
The first Hopper barrelled towards Allen only for him to sidestep near the end and dodge the attack.
"Haa!"
Thud!
Allen performed a low sweep, throwing the Hopper off its balance as it fell on the ground.
"...!"
Allen was about to smash the daylights out of the first Hopper when he performed a sudden somersault and dodged the claws of the second Hopper.
Splash!
Dark rotten blood flowed out of the first Hopper's chest as the second Hopper's claws meant to wound Allen struck its chest with full force.
"Grrraaargh!"
Unlike the normal zombies, the Hopper screamed in agony.
It led to Allen thinking if its pain receptors were still working due to its higher intelligence.
Nonetheless, he didn't care and used the opportunity where both of them were stuck to charge forward.
WHOOSH!!
BANNGG!
Allen performed a flying kick and smashed the second Hopper's head as dark blood and rotting brain matter flew everywhere.
[Ding!
Congratulations!
You've…]
