Chapter 37 Against The Zombies!
I saw many chairs and tables pressed against the door where the Zombies were banging and one by one; I started removing them as I kept my eyes on the door.
[1 day: 14 hours: 23 minutes]
I began removing the furniture and placing them at a distance from the door, slowly increasing the distance between each piece of furniture so that when the Zombies would come at me, these obstacles would decrease their speed towards me.
With each furniture removed, the time decreased by another hour or so, and by the time I removed all the furniture, I saw the time being decreased to mere minutes.
[12 minutes: 12 seconds]
Deciding not to open the gate and simply let it be broken down by the Zombies, I casually moved towards the other end of the alleyway. Surprisingly, rather than shouting, all the people in the apartments were keeping their quiet.
Maybe they didn't want to attract the Zombie? Well, who knows, not that anything can be done anymore…
As I reached almost halfway, I saw the door almost creaking and the banging sound getting louder and louder.

'So the horde goes down up to the 32nd floor before the number of zombies decreases, huh?' I thought as I saw the door finally breaking in front of me.
-BAAM!!!!
The Zombies started walking towards me at a normal walking pace, with some of them moving a bit faster than the others.
Standing at the centre of the hallways, I waited for them to come closer to me and once the distance reached close enough,
[Temporal Deceleration!]
Time slowed to about 50% this time,as I intended it to stop only half way. With the amount of stats I had gained, my strength and stamina were high enough to kill the Zombies without going all out with the skill.
'Slow,' I muttered inwardly before I started slashing the Zombies slowly as I moved forward and before I knew it, my Time Points were already gone.
[E-Grade Zombie Killed!] x 24
[Lesser E-Grade Zombies Killed!] x 17
I then started moving back faster as I tried creating some distance between me and those zombies. The obstacles I, along with George placed, helped a lot as well. The zombies were stumbling as they fell down, hitting their feet against the furniture.
As I reached the edge of the Floor, I saw a few Zombies reaching 3/4th of the distance of the hallway almost dozen metres away from me and I used [Eyes of the Time Keeper] to check the time they would take to reach me.
[7 seconds]
My shift to the time points I had right now.
[55/ 620TP]
[Active Time Regeneration!]
I used another skill as I calmed myself and restricted myself to minimum movements.
5 seconds later,
[355/ 620TP]
This time, since the other Zombies were a bit behind, then those in front, I moved forward skillfully, killing the ones in front.
[E-Grade Zombie Killed!] x 3
[Lesser E-Grade Zombies Killed!] x 7
Once I saw the number of zombies increase again in front of me…
[Temporal Deceleration!]
This time, however, I could only use it for a short duration before my TP ran out.
[E-Grade Zombie Killed!] x 9
[Lesser E-Grade Zombie Killed] x 11
'71 Zombies, huh? That's not even 10 percent of the total, but… I guess this will do for now. I will leave the rest of the work to Caroline, Alex and White,' I thought before running up.
Moving up, I saw Caroline and others looking at me with a tensed expression before everyone clutched their weapons.
It was 6 against about 170 Zombies that were coming towards us, and even more Zombies down below.
I reached behind them and spoke,"they are coming," before turning around and positioning myself along with them. George, Adam and Blake had guns with them and I believe they were going to use them right here.
'Kind of waste if you ask me,' I thought as I looked at them before turning at the Horde Zombies coming towards us slowly and slowly.
While the others prepared to strike the Zombies, I recharged my Time points as much as I could.
The first one to move forward was Alex himself as he moved forward and used all his powers at once, kicking one of the Zombies, pushing him back at a high speed, hurting the other zombies behind it as well.
I saw Alex losing his foothold as he threw that heavy punch and looking at the quest
[3 Zombies remaining on Floor 36th]
He killed all the other zombies on this floor with a single blow. I saw that when the Zombie flew back and hit the wall, the wall almost broke down into pieces, barely showing us the blue sky behind that wall.
With this move alone, I think he killed over 40 zombies or something…
White and Caroline moved forward to help Alex while George and his two men were in disbelief as they observed what Alex had done.
Though it was only the beginning of their surprises as Caroline also started using her powers, enhancing her speed and skills as she began killing all the zombies rapidly that were arriving towards us.
It wasn't as impactful as Alex, but she succeeded in killing at least 2 dozen zombies by herself before her power started running out and she moved back to where I, George and the others were standing.
"There are still more coming… I will help them get back their health while the 4 of you stop the Zombie from coming here," I commanded George, his two men, and White before looking at Alex and Caroline.
