A Regressor's Guide to the Frozen Apocalypse-Chapter 55: Less Than What I Imagined

Almost six hours had passed after the successive shots. The number of shells that hit the castle wall was incalculable.

The ammunition boxes scattered around were really heart freezing, with this number of ammunition you could even take a small town hostage.

Indeed, two dozen ammunition boxes were lying on the floor.

After all this, the zombie sounds were completely cut off. There were no mutants or normal zombies around. Light and the other group members had really managed to take care of everything. The scary thing was over, and both sides of the wall were completely cleared.

"Neo, are you okay? The mutant zombie almost got you."

When Light asked this question, Neo was sitting on the snow with a face back from the dead. It was quite normal to see him shaking.

Towards the end of the battle, a tier 4 zombie sneaked up the wall by attaching its claws to it. According to Light, the mutant crawled under the zombie corpses without being seen and thus tried to hunt the group.

With its sharp, almost half-metre-long claws and incredibly fast movements, it surprised everyone in the group and ran towards Neo, who had managed to kill the most zombies in the group.

Despite all the abilities of the mutant zombie, Neo did not die because the mutant zombie underestimated the presence of the leader of the group, Light.

Light had managed to train himself to shoot, change bullets, and the like for hours on end, even if he was tiny, which gave him the pleasure of controlling his speed a little bit.

In one swift move, he was on time and blocked the claws that were about to strike Neo with a knife from his Sub-Space and began stabbing the stunned mutant zombie as it fell to the ground.

Behind the shocked eyes of the whole group, no one could understand why Light felt the need to stab the mutant zombie instead of shooting, but there was something that no one knew.

Thanks to his light inspection skill, he had already recognised the mutant zombie’s weakness.

[Tier 4 Hunter Mutant Zombie

He can only be killed with knives, swords and arrows].

This led him to the weapon he was best at using, a knife.

Light, of course, was not very good at melee combat, and that was exactly why he had bought a special skill for it from the system shop, but still, no one, including the gods, could argue with his knife skills.

Not like he was a master but at least he was way better than an average user of knives.

As the old saying goes, it was as if this skill was bestowed upon him by heaven. At least that’s what the 6 senior soldiers who trained him said.

This, of course, helped both him and Neo in such a situation.

"I’m fine sir, I’m just a little shocked, I still don’t think I’ve calmed down yet, forgive me."

When Neo said these words, Light smiled behind his mask and shook his head and said, "Pull yourself together, we’ll be going down soon."

Hearing this, the group members were suddenly surprised.

While they still did not know what was going on and the possibility of such a great danger still existed, even thinking that they were going downstairs made each of them tremble.

"Are we going to go down?" questioned one of the group members, and then, without missing a beat, he added, "And why, sir, wouldn’t it make more sense to rest for a while?"

Hearing this, Light rushed towards the body of the Tier 4 Mutant Zombie, and then with the small knife at his waist, he stabbed the zombie’s head. After a short time, he picked up a not-very-large sphere and showed it to the group.

It was just Tier 4 Mutant Zombie, what if a higher tier was here? Also, there was much to gain just like the orb he showed them.

"This orb you see in my hand can help some people with powers like mine, so keep that in mind, it will be useful if you meet people like me. That’s exactly why you’ve come here with me, we’re going to go down, find as many orbs as we can and then get the hell out of here. We can’t stay here and take the chance that more will be gathered."

Each of them nodded as if these words had been seared into the group’s minds. Each of them suddenly thought that resting might bring another danger.

Of course, they could encounter another ambush as soon as they came down, but the situation they were in now made everything frightening. It was like a double-edged sword.

"Yes, sir." said the questioner suddenly, knowing that there was really nothing else they could do, which caused them to accept the order directly.

With that, the plan was clear and the reason for Light’s coming here could now be completed.

Almost 4 hours had passed, it was past the evening hours and now it was the middle of the night, the group had finished the gathering and that was good news, but something else had happened that made Light’s face fall.

"Shit!"

After all the bodies searched, Light had only 48 orbs in his hands. The fact that he had obtained only 48 orbs out of the almost a thousand zombies that had been killed made him seriously angry and sad at the same time.

Even though the members entrusted to him by Elise, his own soldiers, and even his own life had been endangered many times, knowing that his earnings were so low was what made him sad.

In fact, even if Light didn’t realise it, his earnings were huge. Because the degree of formation of these spheres was incredibly low. Only mutant zombies and zombies about to become mutant zombies could produce these orbs, and even then, the probability of these zombies dropping orbs was incredibly low.

It was possible to say that this was 1 in 100 mutant zombies, and Light managed to obtain 48 orbs among more than a thousand zombies. He had definitely become an incredibly greedy person.

Still, even this gain would definitely push him beyond humanity, even more than he was now.
