Chapter 17 Top Floor
Okay, so last I remember there was a gym on the top floor of this building. The gym had a connection to the terraces, which were simply decorated with plants and other decorations. If I have actually a chance of killing all the zombies, then the number of options I have are limited.
First is to move into the gym and learn the layout slowly before luring a few zombies to move outside where I could kill them silently. This method is long and tedious, but if done properly, I should be able to kill all the zombies without much problem. However, there is a simple problem with this plan.
The D-Grade Zombies… I have no idea of their strengths and their weaknesses, but given how E-Grade were stronger than lesser E-Grade, D-Grades would be at least stronger than E-Grades, which isn't really good news to be honest.
The second method is to go down and farm more Exp, level up enough and come back with more strength. Though I doubt, I will be able to make it back here and save those people trapped on this floor.
Finally, I can go all out and try to take out zombies with whatever I have in my arsenal. Though, it is obvious that I am going to die, if that happens.
"Caroline, I would like you to go down and keep an eye on any zombies coming up. Can you do that?" I ask her with a serious expression and she looks at me before nodding and leaving from there.
I then check my arsenal and see I have 34 kitchen knives, 12 golf sticks and a bunch of pins and glasses. I also have a few golf balls that I took along, just in case.
'Now, which option to choose,' I thought as I pondered and saw the time once every few seconds. Every second I waste is gonna make things harder for me, so I had to do something real fast.
In the end, I chose the first option, which seemed the most logical with what I have, though I wonder if all the knives and golf clubs I have will be able to hold out till the end.
-Creak
The door to the gym slowly opened, and I entered slowly to find the reception area and the office at a distance. There were about 7 zombies that had already turned in my direction, not long before they started randomly walking towards me.
I left the door open enough to let only 2 to 3 at a time to pass through the main door. I took a few steps back and prepared my knife, and soon,
-Rwar!
-Rwar!
Two came in front, with 4 coming behind them and then another 2 came, making it a total of 8.
[Temporal Deceleration!]
-Slash! x 8
[Ding!] x 8
I ignored the messages and stood there silently without making any move

5 seconds later… [105/105 TP]
I then took a deep breath and looked at the front gate
[Ding!]

'It's already night, huh?' I thought as I observed the surroundings, with no way of telling the time whatsoever. Then I proceeded to enter the gym,
The reception was obviously empty now, and looking at the office in the front, I guess there were some zombies inside that too. Cautiously moving towards the place, I then turned to look at the entrance to the women's locker room, all bloodied and red, with zombies clustered on the other side. There was a huge locker placed in front of the door, keeping the door from breaking.
I entered the office first and saw two zombies feeding on another zombie.
[Temporal Deceleration!]
[Ding!]
[Active Time Regeneration!]
Then I moved out of the office and towards the entrance to the female locker room.
'I wonder if there will be some hot female zombies in there?' I thought before slowly moving the locker from the front door. While I would like to move forward, I would rather have my back cleared than to have unexpected surprises.
I removed the locker and slowly unlocked the door before finding the exact time and
-Bang!!
I pushed the door as hard as I could, hoping the zombies on the inside would be pushed back as well. Though, with my strength, I ended up breaking the door with that hard kick… or maybe it was broken before and all it needed was a heavy kick?
In any case, the door flew back, pushing the zombies, and what I saw made me gulp a little. The scene was one of the worst nightmares I might have seen till now… the zombies… were all old women and… unclothed.
'My Eyes!! My Eyes!!' I almost wanted to wash my eyes with a detergent… they are only made for looking at beautiful bodies and soft breasts not… that!
[Temporal Deceleration!]
-Slash
The first slash didn't kill the front zombie.
-Slash
The second didn't either.
For a few moments, I felt an ominous vibe from those female zombies in front. I gulped before doing something that I should have done from the beginning.
[Inspect!]

It was on the ground trying to get up slowly and looking at the description. It seemed like its ability lied on its feet which it obviously can't use when it is on the ground. Feeling a chill down my spine, I checked the other 2 zombies in the female locker room and…
