The corpse on the floor didn't move again.
Alex slowly pulled the knife from the man's skull.
Blood dripped onto the hallway tiles.
A new notification appeared.
Walker Eliminated
+1 Supply Point
Total Supply Points: 11
Alex studied the interface carefully.
He focused on the menu.
Immediately several options appeared.
Inventory
Supply Exchange
Mission Log
Resource Detection
Interesting.
Alex selected Inventory.
A new window appeared showing empty slots.
Inventory Capacity: 0 / 100
The system allowed storage.
That alone was extremely valuable.
Next he opened Supply Exchange.
Several categories appeared.
Weapons
Equipment
Food
Medical
Tools
Alex selected Weapons.
A list of items appeared.
Combat Knife – 10 SP
9mm Pistol – 40 SP
Suppressor – 15 SP
9mm Ammo (30 rounds) – 5 SP
All realistic equipment.
No fantasy weapons.
Which meant the system followed the logic of this world.
That was good.
A scream echoed from outside.
Alex closed the interface and stepped outside the building.
The street had descended into chaos.
Several bodies lay scattered across the pavement.
Three walkers were wandering between abandoned cars.
They noticed Alex immediately.
And began moving toward him.
Slow.
Uncoordinated.
Alex walked forward calmly.
The first walker lunged.
He sidestepped and drove the knife into its temple.
Walker Eliminated
+1 SP
The second walker grabbed his jacket.
Alex twisted his body and stabbed through its eye.
Walker Eliminated
+1 SP
The third walker stumbled forward.
Alex kicked its knee sideways, dropping it to the ground before finishing it with another precise stab.
Walker Eliminated
+1 SP
Total Supply Points: 14
Behind him, terrified civilians stared in shock.
One whispered quietly.
"How is that kid doing that…?"
Alex ignored them.
He opened the system again.
Supply Points were increasing.
Slowly.
But steadily.
And in a world filled with walkers…
There would be no shortage of enemies.
Alex looked toward the burning skyline of the city.
If the outbreak was spreading everywhere…
Then resources would soon become the most valuable thing in the world.
And Alex Mercer had just gained a system that could give him exactly that.
