Chapter 56: Chapter 56: She could only see rewards.. [Bonus Chapter]

The zombie disappeared beneath the monstrous tires with a sickening crunch.

A crisp notification rang in her ears.

Ding...

[Successfully killed Level 1 Rotter Zombie.]

[Rewards gained: +10 EXP, +7 Intelligence, +5 Strength.]

Liora’s eyes widened.

"Wait... what?" She stared at the system screen in shock. "Did my jeep just... kill that zombie?"

[Yes, Host. The zombie was crushed by the Monster-Tier Reinforced Tires of your vehicle.]

Silence.

Then—

A slow, wicked smile spread across Liora’s lips.

"Oh... oh-ho-ho... this is interesting."

She gripped the steering wheel tighter, a glint of mischief flickering in her eyes.

If one zombie gave her experience...

Wouldn’t that mean—

Her foot pressed down on the accelerator.

With a gleeful laugh, Liora swerved onto the empty street, her Hummer roaring forward.

She had just found the best way to grind EXP.

Liora chuckled as she gripped the steering wheel, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

Now, she would not limit her vehicle’s ability just to drive when it was way more capable. Her Hummer wasn’t just a vehicle. She would make it the ultimate zombie-killing machine.

She had already mowed down dozens of them, and the system notifications kept pouring in.

Ding...

[Successfully killed Level 2 Rotter Zombie.]

[Rewards gained: +10 EXP, +20 Agility, +18 Strength, +1L Fuel.]

Ding...

[Successfully killed Level 2 Mutated Zombie.]

[Rewards gained: +25 EXP, +30 Strength, +25 Intelligence, +1 Emergency Food Pack.]

Liora whistled. "Fuck, that’s insane. I actually killed a Mutant zombie without even lifting a finger." She still remembered the last time—it really gave her a tough time.

Not only was she leveling up, but the system was practically throwing supplies at her. Food, water, even fuel—what more could she ask for?

She glanced at her status panel, watching the numbers rise with each kill.

Her stats were increasing without any effort.

But then she noticed a problem.

The zombies weren’t coming toward her as much anymore.

"What, did they sense that it was practically useless to come here now?" Liora thought but dismissed the idea as she didn’t think Rotter zombies were capable of thinking that much.

Sure, the ones in front of the vehicle got crushed, but the rest were starting to shuffle away, almost as if they realized getting flattened wasn’t the best fate.

Liora tapped her fingers on the wheel. "Tch. That won’t do."

If they weren’t coming to her...

Then she’d make them come.

She abruptly turned the wheel and slammed the gas, speeding past a small horde that had been minding their own business. As she roared past, she honked loudly, rolling down the window just enough to yell—

"HEY, YOU STINKY CORPSES! COME AND GET ME!"

The zombies’ heads snapped toward her.

And they fucking started moving toward her.

Just perfect.

Liora smirked.

Moans filled the air as they chased after her, their sluggish movements turning into a frenzied sprint. More zombies emerged from alleyways, abandoned buildings, and ruined cars, all drawn by the noise.

Liora laughed. "That’s right, come on! All of you!"

She kept her speed just slow enough to keep them following, leading a massive pack down the empty street.

Then, when she reached an open area—

She slammed the brakes.

The zombies, caught off guard, surged forward mindlessly.

Liora threw the Hummer into reverse.

With a wicked grin, she stomped on the gas, sending the beast of a vehicle barreling backward.

SQUELCH. CRUNCH. SPLAT.

A whole wave of zombies disappeared beneath the monstrous tires.

The system practically exploded with notifications.

Ding...

[Successfully killed 10x Level 1 Rotter Zombies.]

[Rewards gained: +100 EXP, +50 Strength, +50 Health, +5L Fuel, +1 Basic First Aid Kit.]

Ding...

[Successfully killed 2x Level 2 Mutated Zombies.]

[Rewards gained: +50 EXP, +60 Strength, +50 Intelligence, +1 Bag of Rice.]

Ding...

[Successfully killed 1x Level 3 Hunter Zombie.]

[Rewards gained: +80 EXP, +80 Survival Points, +1 Portable Water Purifier.]

Fuck man, just how powerful was this vehicle? It even killed a level 3 zombie, which even an Awakener would think twice before fighting.

If she had been outside the vehicle, no doubt she would have been the meat patty instead of the level 3 Hunter zombie. Liora shuddered at the thought of fighting the Hunter zombie with her bare hands.

But it seemed fate was on her side, and she, without lifting a finger, could kill many zombies, and it was enough to lighten her mood for many days.

Liora grinned, checking her status panel.

Her eyes lingered on the overflowing Strength and Intelligence.

"Wait, what?" She frowned. "How the hell did they go over the limit?"

[Host has acquired more Strength and Intelligence than the body can currently contain.]

Liora raised a brow. "And that means...?"

[It means, Host, that you are currently beyond your body’s natural capabilities. Your Strength and Intelligence will start leaking over time, gradually decreasing even if you do nothing. Without improving your body’s foundation, you won’t be able to use the excess efficiently.]

Liora narrowed her eyes. "So, I got stronger... but I can’t even use it properly?"

[Correct.]

She groaned, dragging a hand down her face. "Ugh, that’s just bullshit. What’s the point of all this power if I can’t even keep it?"

[Host must reach the next level of evolution to fully utilize excess stats.]

Liora clicked her tongue in annoyance but accepted the explanation. It wasn’t like she could argue with the system. At least she got to experience being stupidly strong, even if it wouldn’t last.

She sighed, then glanced at her Survival Points.

-680.

Her brows furrowed. "Wait... shouldn’t that be -280? Why the hell did it decrease further?"

Then it hit her.

She had bought the device to hide her presence earlier when she was tracking Xu Kai’s group. She had been so busy at that time that she even forgot to ask the price.

If she remembered correctly, she had -390 points before using the device, and after killing zombies, she increased it to -280. And now, it showed she had -680 points.

"That damn thing cost me 400 points?!"

She stared at the number in disbelief. A whole 400 points—just gone.

But after a moment, she let out a breath.

"Actually... it was worth it."

If she hadn’t used the device, there was no way she could have gotten close enough to track those people without being noticed. And if she had been discovered, her mission would have failed entirely.

Losing points stung, but it was a necessary price to pay.

"Fine, fine, I won’t complain," she muttered. "I just need to earn more points later."

But no matter how much she gained, her debt always seemed bigger.

It felt like the system was designed to keep her in a cycle where she constantly needed to buy something. She doubted there would ever be a day when her Survival Points turned positive.

Stretching her arms, she cracked her neck. "But first... I just need 155 more points to reach Level 3, and I’m not stopping until I get there."

Her fingers tightened around the steering wheel as a smirk tugged at her lips.

"Let’s see how many more zombies I can turn into roadkill before my stats start dropping," she murmured, pressing down on the accelerator.
