"Not bad.." Max nodded with a satisfied expression and prepared to return to his apartment, but he stopped walking after hearing the loud sound of a large explosion..

*Boom~*

The entire building shook slightly and the roars of the Zombies echoed down the street and through the floors below the 5th floor. Max was shocked and looked out the window as fast as he could.

Soon he saw a car fully equipped with Steel plates speeding the road at high speed while a huge Zombie, over two meters tall and with dense muscles, ran after it.

The huge Zombie shocked Max, but what shocked him most was that the Zombie's hands were large sledgehammers...

—————————————

The car was speeding, but the Crushing Zombie was even faster! He roared and smashed his right sledgehammer hand against the ground with immense force!

*Boom~*

The ground a few meters away exploded violently and a powerful shockwave slammed into the car, causing it to flip over and stop just below the entrance of the  building upside down stopped.

The Zombie Crusher and the dozens of Zombies around slowly approached the overturned car. Max was silent for a second and jumped out of the 5th floor window with his eyes shining coldly.

The loud sound of the glass window exploding caught the attention of all the Zombies around. The Zombie Crusher looked up and roared furiously when he saw Max falling from the sky right in the middle of the Zombies.

Luna who was watching everything from the window almost fainted from shock and horror. She paled in fear, but the fear turned into shock and disbelief when she saw Max slaughter the surrounding Zombies as if he were a mighty Lion in the middle of sheep!

Be it Level 3, Level 4, or even Level 5 Zombies, they were all killed with just one swing of the Axe! Luna's heart started beating faster, she knew Max was strong, but not that strong!

All she could see was his blurry shadow and the headless corpses or broken bodies among the Zombies! In less than five seconds, Max had killed 12 Zombies and successfully advanced to Level 7!

*Roar!*

The Zombie Crusher roared to the sky and charged at Max furiously. Max smiled coldly and charged at the Zombie Crusher with his eyes shining with excitement, he discovered that he loved fighting without restraint.

*Boom~*

*Boom~*

*Boom~*

*Boom~*

The Black Axe and the sledgehammer hands of Crusher Zombie collided violently over and over again per second! The shockwaves created by the collisions exploded the Zombies below Level 3 into a mist of blood and sent all the other Zombies flying around.

Luna was so shocked by what she was seeing that her beautiful jaw dropped. The power possessed by Max and the Crusher Zombie was something she had only seen in fantasy books! The mere shockwaves blasted all the Zombies far away and the weaker ones turned into mist of blood!

While Max was fighting fiercely against the Crusher Zombie, two beautiful young twins came out of the overturned car with a little blood dripping down their heads. They get up and pulled a beautiful, badly injured middle-aged woman out of the overturned car.

"Who the hell is this monster?" The beautiful young woman with short hair asked with her eyes wide with shock.

Her sister was so shocked by Max's monstrous strength that she even forgot to blink. The two beautiful Twins had never seen anyone as strong as Max since the beginning of the Apocalypse.

"I need to finish this battle..." Max thought and gave a powerful kick to the Zombie Crusher's chest, sending him back several meters continuously.

When the Zombie Crusher steadied himself and looked at above, he saw the blade of the Black Axe before his face.

The Black Axe split the Zombie Crusher's head in half before he could react.

[-3.000]

Instant death!

A satisfied smile appeared on Max's face. He saved out the Black Axe and watched as the large corpse of the Zombie Crusher fell to the ground with a dull thud.

*Bang!*

"That was a good fight..." Max muttered, as  still could feel a bit of numbness in his hands.

The Zombie Crusher's strength was truly terrifying! Crushing ordinary people was as easy as breathing with the strength he had. After a while, Max saw a glowing white sphere among the brain remains of the Zombie Crusher..

————————————

"Wow~ what a cool Skill~" Max's mouth dropped open and he couldn't help but gulp as his eyes lit up.

With this Ability, his strength will increase by 150%! That's almost double his current strength! Max didn't think twice and swallowed the Ability Core, which, although it had been taken from the brain remains of a Zombie, was completely clean.

The Core went down Max's throat and dissolved into Energy, which traveled throughout his body and finally entered his brain. Information about the Ability appeared in Max's mind.

*Ding!*

[Skill 'Enhanced Strength' successfully learned!]

A few seconds later, he opened his eyes with a very satisfied smile and opened the Status screen...

"My strength has increased tremendously!" Max clenched his fists tightly with a very excited expression.

*Cough!*

A coughing sound echoed making him look in the direction she came from with a surprised expression. He was shocked to see three beautiful, injured women standing next to the overturned car looking at him with cautious and fearful looks.

The three women are extremely beautiful, none of them is inferior to Luna, the most important thing about them is that all three are.. Awakened!

'Two on Level 7 and one on Level 6.. not bad..' Max thought with shining eyes and smiled friendly at them.

"Ladies, are you okay?" He asked with his eyes focused on the half-fainted middle-aged woman.

"We're fine, thank you for saving our lives." The short-haired twin replied with a half-forced smile.

Max could sense the caution and fear in her tone of voice, which was quite normal given that they were both too beautiful and too weak to resist him. Max shrugged and tossed a Minor Healing Potion to the young woman with short hair.

"Give it to her, it will heal her injuries..." He explained and picked up the Red Box of Crusher Zombie and entered the building.

The young woman with short hair looked at her twin sister and after getting a nod, she opened the lid of the Minor Healing Potion and made the middle-aged woman drink it.

The effect was almost instantaneous, the woman's injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving the two twin sisters very shocked. The two sisters saw dozens of Zombies approaching them quickly.

The two sisters did not hesitate and entered the building as quickly as possible.
