8 Level Up (1/2)

Pablo holstered his pistol and helped on pushing the huge locker. They manage to block the door but there's still a small gap that remained. Currently, the glass door was blocked by two wooden filing cabinets and a huge metallic locker. The gap between them was tight enough, so that they only have to fight one infected at a time.

Jun pushed the filing cabinets so that they lean to the wall, making a diagonal blockade. He then hurriedly went inside an employees cubicle and started pulling a heavy wooden table. When he glanced at the door's durability bar, it already reached half. It made cracking sounds and the web-like breaking pattern appeared a lot more often. The damage it received per hit instantly doubled, making the doors durability to fall faster. Pablo and the manager helped him place the table in the middle by pulling on the other side. With the only open space slightly blocked, he went and picked up the essence shard on Jake's chin and the baseball bat besides him. He already did everything that he could do and the only thing left to do now is to wait.

As he was looking at Jake's body, a sudden jolt of inspiration came to him. He quickly squat down and placed his hand on Jake's forehead. When a screen popped up, his eyes widened because he got a new message instead of the looting notification.

[ Would you like to receive a part of the users legacy? ]

[Yes] [No]

Jun tried tapping the yes button, but his finger just went through. With no other options he focused and used his eyes to try and click the button. Which actually worked!

+1 Power

+1 Endurance

+1 Speed

+2 Charm

After those notifications faded, a warm feeling abruptly rose from his stomach and started spreading across his body. Even though he had a mesomorph body type, he still felt that his body become much lighter, even his muscles became more compact and felt like they can produce more force when needed.

The body didn't disappear like what he expected so he placed his hand on top of the body to investigate. A screen showed up exactly at the same time when a loud shattering sound happened behind him.

[Jake Pascual - Dead]

[Description] This body will turn into a carrier if the body got infected. Its life essence has been sucked out. When reanimated, this infected will be a lot weaker

Jun stood up just in time to see Pablo aiming at the front most infected. Most of the people were already on the second floor of the bank. Showing their frightened faces as they climb the stairways while looking back.

”Don't shoot!”, Jun tried to stop him but was still a step too late. Being on a tight space and shooting at a close distance, for a trained professional, it was impossible to miss. A loud gunshot echoed and the first infected finally fell. The bad news was, the infected that was on the 20 meter radius of the bank accurately found the source of the loud noise and immediately came running. Those who were a bit far away, ignored the gunshot and continued on what they were doing.
