Entering Apocalypse in Easy-Mode

The ax swung down from above. The zombie\'s rotten, maggot-infested eyes widened.

If there was even a hint of emotion or awareness In them, it would know that its end was very near by now.

*CRRAAAATTT!*

Red and gray liquid splattered all over the place as the blade of the giant ax stuck in its head.

The giant zombie\'s hands that had been flailing wildly now fell paralyzed beside its body.

Its mouth gaped wide and it let out a groan that accompanied whatever was keeping it alive.

Leon released his grip on the giant axe.

After he let go, the giant zombie\'s body fell to the side along with the axe.

*CLANNGG!*

A loud thud was heard as the ax\'s rusty iron handle fell onto the store floor.

After that, a notification appeared before the eyes of each of them.

[ Congratulations! you have succeeded in defeating The Guardian (Grade B) ]

[Rewards: 500 Exp. ]

The five people immediately widened their eyes.

They all gain 500 Exp simultaneously. Even though it was Leon who delivered the killing blow to the giant zombie.

Wiley cheered with Lola beside him. They were able to cheer like that because they didn\'t fight directly with the giant zombies.

Meanwhile, Leon and Albert slumped on the floor of the store and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Rosie, who was next to Lola, was no different.

Although she smiled, her smile was weak. Because she had to bear the pain in her ribs.

"We can open the box now," Wiley said. He then approached Rosie.

"Can you walk?" Wiley asked Rosie.

Rosie didn\'t answer instead she tried to stand up. But then she fell back with a groan.

"Hmm, I guess you can\'t."

Wiley reached out to help Rosie up.

Rosie didn\'t say anything and just put her arm around Wiley\'s shoulder.

Wiley, Rosie, and Lola walked into the store following Albert and Leon who was already standing in front of the Supply Cache.

"What should we do? We just have to touch it?" Wiley asked.

"I think so," Leon replied.

But they couldn\'t find a handle that might be something to use to open this box.

So, Leon then decided to extend his hand towards the box.

As soon as he touched it a clacking sound was heard.

The box began to open in four different directions. The five of them immediately stepped back.

But then they immediately approached again after knowing what was in the box.

There are four different weapons and an orange orb in the box.

The weapons were a fifty-centimeter-long short sword, a hammer that seemed to give off a bluish glow, a thirty-centimeter-long black blow dart, and a pair of daggers with silver blades.

Besides that weapon, the orange orb looks different.

"Is our reward?" Wiley asked.

Leon and Albert walked closer to the city. While Wiley just stayed where he was and let them check it out.

"It seems so," Leon said.

Leon then lowered his head and extended his hand towards the short sword.

When Leon finally grabbed the hilt, he expected something to happen. But nothing happened.

So Leon raised the sword. As soon as Leon brought the sword to his face, a Window containing the sword\'s simple description appeared.

[ Name: Black Silence Sword. (Upgradable) ]

[ Type: Melee Weapon. ]

[ Grade: B. ]

Leon had a smile tugging at his lips.

"This is a grade B weapon!" Leon exclaimed.

"What?" Albert looked at him then looked at the sword in his hand with a look of disbelief.

Then Albert immediately approached the box to take his weapon.

Wiley, Lola, and Rosie also drew closer to the opened box. They scanned every remaining weapon.

"I think these weapons are adapted to the weapons we use and our fighting style," Albert said.

Without thinking any further, Albert took the pair of silver daggers.

[ Name: Double Fang Daggers (Upgradable) ]

[ Type: Melee Weapon. ]

[ Grade: B. ]

"This is really a Grade B weapon," Albert muttered as he studied his new weapon.

Wiley, Lola, and Rosie also grabbed weapons that they thought fit them.

Rosie of course took the hammer with the bluish glow. That meant only a blow dart and an orb left for Wiley and Lola.

Rosie looked at the hammer in her hand and a Window appeared.

[ Name: Thunder Eater Hammer. (Updgradable) ]

[ Type: Melee Weapon. ]

[ Grade: B. ]

"What\'s this?" Wiley was confused as he picked up the blow dart.

He had never known that a weapon like this existed before.

"That\'s a blow dart," Rosie said. "Something the tribes used to shoot poison darts."

"Oh, that one." Wiley nodded his head. "In that case, it does suit me."

[ Name: Fullgrim Blow Dart. (Upgradable) ]

[ Type: Ranged Weapon. ]

[ Grade: B ]

In that case, only the orange orb would be left for Lola.

The orb was about five centimeters in diameter and fit in Lola\'s hand.

[ Name: Magic Orb (Lv.2) (Upgradeable) ]

[ Type: Magic Item (Rare). ]

[ Grade: B. ]

"It says Magic Orb. What is this?" Lola asked those around her.

She scanned the orb, turning it several times but found nothing.

"Maybe it\'s something that can grant Magic Power?" Wiley made a suggestion.

"If that\'s true, this orb will be very useful," Lola muttered with a smile.

After successfully defeating the giant zombies and getting better rewards than they expected, the five decided to leave the store and gas station.

The sun was higher than they had last remembered. Indicates that the new day enters the time around ten or eleven in the afternoon.

There is still a long day until this day ends. But so far have been pretty good for them.

The green poisonous smoke still lingered around. Their gas masks are cracked in several places but still function properly to prevent them from turning into zombies.

"Should we take the same Quest tonight?" Wiley asked with a smile after knowing they got such a good reward.

"No," Leon said. "I\'m thinking of taking a higher rank Quest."

"I think that\'s a good idea," Albert said. "I think that with Grade B weapons, our combat ability will improve a lot. After all, the rewards from Quests with higher ranks will be much better."
