Shane swiftly checked his inventory to see the Blood Samples that he had.
[ Inventory: mory Spherex25, 6 Item Upgrade Crystals, 10 Zombie Cores, 200mL Crawler Zombie Blood, 500mL Walker Zombie Blood, 200mL Runner Zombie Blood, 4.6L water, 10 Spirit Enhancent Bottles ]
He didn't think too much and just gave all the blood to the A.I. He had no plans of drinking them anyway.
"Is that enough?" He asked.
[ Yes, my detection ability can now distinguish Runner Zombies from other types. Once the analysis of the Crawler and Walker Zombies is completed, my detection will be able to encompass them as well. ]
"Sounds promising... Can you also predict their next mutations? I've heard about a Spitter Zombie, but I haven't co across one yet."
[It's highly likely that we can predict their mutation once my analysis of Crawler and Walker Zombie Blood is completed. ]
"Great, I'll be relying on you. I'm going to sleep... Can you wake up if there's a Zombie within your perception range? It doesn't matter if they notice our shelter or not."
[ I can. ]
Upon hearing Cloud's reply, Shane was overco by exhaustion and promptly drifted off to sleep. He didn't even bother making a campfire since it wasn't that cold, with the house, tent, and sleeping bag providing warmth.
The following morning, Shane awoke to several notifications from the A.I.
[ Zombie Blood Analysis Completed. ]
[ Do you want to see the result? ]
"I'll check it later."
[ Understood. It's now possible to identify Crawler, Walker, and Runner Zombies through the detection ability of the A.I. Assistant. ]
"Oh! That's more convenient..." Shane replied as he began stretching his body.
"No Zombies passed by?"
Shane queried as he fixed his sleeping bag and exited the tent. Due to the fog, the tent was quite damp, so he couldn't help but feel satisfied with setting up his tent inside the poorly-conditioned house.
[ No. ] Cloud answered.
"I guess those ten zombies are the only ones in the area, huh..." Shane mused as he removed the wooden plank from the door to step outside.
Looking out, he noticed that the fog had significantly lessened. He had initially expected it to be thicker early in the morning.
'Will it completely disappear before the Zombie Wave?' He mused.
"Cloud, how much ti has passed since I entered this Apocalypse?"
[ 1 day, 7 hours, 42 minutes. ]
"I still have plenty of ti before an inhabitant visits here. I guess I'll be hunting so zombies instead..." Shane said with a smile.
But before that, he turned his attention to his food.
This ti, he decided to cook instant noodles for breakfast...
Of course, he chose to do this in another house so the sll wouldn't linger in his current shelter.
After so ti, Shane was finally prepared to explore the surrounding area. He felt that he needed to understand the terrain thoroughly before the first Zombie Wave began.
But before that, he examined his Inventory System.
[ Inventory: mory Spherex25, 6 Item Upgrade Crystals, 10 Zombie Cores, 3.5L water, 10 Spirit Enhancent Bottles ]
He retrieved one of the Spirit Enhancent Bottles.
'Let's try this one first...'
Shane mused. He actually believed that this was a rare item drop. However, the passive effect of his Talent made it seem quite ordinary.
Upon removing the cap of the small bottle, Shane didn't hesitate to consu the blue liquid, which amounted to about 50mL.
He wasn't sure what to expect since it lacked a discernible sll. However, upon tasting it, he realized it was a bit bitter but acceptable and wasn't difficult to swallow.
As he pondered using the bottle to store other liquids, he noticed that it stared, shattering into fragnts of light before completely disappearing.
"This really feels like a ga," Shane muttered as a notification from the Apocalypse System appeared.
[ You have consud a Spirit Enhancent Tonic. ]
[ Spirit Enhancent successful. ]
Shane smiled after seeing this as he checked his status. He wanted to find out what kind of enhancent he had received.
Survivor Na: Shane Wells
Title: Fairy Realm's Lone Survivor, A.I. Rebellion's Chosen One
Level: 1
Vitality: 99/100
Spirit: 105/105
Strength: 15
Agility: 15
Luck: 10
Perception: 10
After consuming the blue liquid, Shane experienced a 5-point increase in his Spirit. Moreover, he discovered that his Vitality had already reached 99 points!
Noticing this, he realized that his shoulder no longer ached.
No wonder!
"Aweso... I guess sleeping is the best way to recover Vitality Points..." Shane muttered as he shifted his attention to his 6 Item Upgrade Crystals.
Shane had already utilized three crystals to enhance his hatchet and one for his revolver. Now, he deliberated on whether he should allocate the remaining crystals to further upgrade his weapons once more.
"Even if I encounter a Spitter Zombie, I still have a revolver to deal with it. However, with my limited bullets, I should only use them when facing zombies stronger than the Runner Type..."
Shane reflected, feeling that his current set of weapons remained adequate for this early stage of the apocalypse.
Ultimately, he contemplated upgrading his tent, hoping for a special effect to repel zombies, or enhancing his current gear.
After careful consideration, he made the decision to upgrade his Jacket, Pants, and Boots!
Currently, what he was worried about was getting bitten by a zombie since that would be the end for him. He didn't have any vaccine or courage to cut a part of him that was bitten.
Furthermore, he could guess what a Spitter Zombie could do based on its na.
Because of that, he felt that having a higher tier of Survivor Gear would help him in that situation.
Without wasting any more ti, he completed his upgrades.
