A mutant is a zombie individual who has successfully mutated the viral DNA. The result of this mutation will make zombies experience changes either in physical parts or certain abilities.

Mutation of this virus is not limited to only one type. The original virus still survives in the body and allows for other mutation processes. The term for a mutant with more than one mutation is 'Special Mutant'.

Tank Mutant is one example of this special mutant. A mutant with a combination of a strong rhino type mutant and a tough iron mutant type. Along with the development of their body, this mutant also got the intelligence for his body to work better.

In short, Tank Mutant is a very dangerous zombie mutation. One of them alone can not necessarily be defeated with a man-made tank.

Currently, there is a certain Tank Mutant which is destroying various houses on the right and left.

The sound of houses being hit and then collapsing could be heard within a hundred meters radius. A voice that terrorizes the humans who hear it.

"Graaaa!"

The mutant screamed. He tried to summon his army of zombies to gather near a certain point.

The zombies have a slow movement. It's too slow that the mutant doesn't want to wait and returns to his activities, destroying nearby houses.

It didn't matter if the house had one or two floors, the mutant could destroy them with ease.

He had destroyed dozens of houses. He still hadn't found what he was looking for.

It was the target of its prey, Tanaka Hijimori.

The giant monster is still looking for the target. Ignoring the energy he uses to destroy houses, the mutant continues to focus on finding its prey.

The monster knew that if the attempt was successful, he would get more than he used. Mutant instincts know which one is more profitable for consumption. A new predator in the apocalypse.

The sound of hundreds of zombies gathered near the mutant. For survivors, this is too much. However, for the mutant giant, the numbers were too few.

Previously, in the battle against Tanaka, there were several zombies who managed to survive the human attack. Those who survived sometimes could not move quickly because of their incomplete form. These zombies actually make quota control useless.

The mutant smashed and smashed until he came to a small park. The park is surrounded by two-story buildings.

The mutant destroyed one side of the house. It was the building opposite where Tanaka was hiding.

The predator is looking for prey blindly. His head which was constantly feeling the impulses of some kind of pain continued to make him even more savage.

Tank Mutant is silent. He tried to check the zombies he was controlling.

The mutant cut off control of several zombies a short distance away from him. After a while he tries to connect with the new surrounding zombies.

Female zombie in a certain house. She is one of the zombies who is forced to follow the control of the giant.

A zombie trapped in her bedroom where there are also human bones.

The zombie realized that her master's target was in front of her. She then gave a kind of wave that notified her leader that she had found the target.

The mutant who received it is now moving slowly towards the zombies. The zombie's radiance was faint so the giant monster didn't move in a hurry.

Closer and closer. Both individuals are trying to get close to the same point.

The gray-painted balcony where Tanaka is hiding.

The door pushed softly. The very low sound was not heard by Tanaka who is quite close. A sound that was not noticed by Tanaka, the person who was focused on the movement of the mutant below him.

The zombie is getting closer and closer. So did the predator below.

"Graaaa!"

Female zombies attack. The mutant who received the sound wave of aggression immediately tried to approach the balcony quickly.

His large right hand was about to reach a point that was one meter higher than his head.

The mutant paused his movement and switched to motion capture. He saw an object hovering directly above his head.

The mutant catches the object which is the target. He squeezed the body until no more movement appeared.

The mutant wins.

Or so that what he thought.

"Haaaaa!"

The screams sounded very close. The moment the mutant came to his senses, an enormous momentum hit the top side of his head.

The crack in the armor on the mutant's head allowed the momentum to enter and destroy the inside of his head. The most important organ which allows the mutant to have control over his body.

Brain.

A cloudy white liquid splashed upwards, aiming back from where the momentum came from. The culprit of this momentum giver was definitely Tanaka.

The man with the sledgehammer that hit the mutant smiled slightly in his flight. He realized that he had managed to defeat the dangerous monster.

Tanaka's feet landed on the mutant's torso whose head was crushed at the top. With uncontrolled body movements, the mutant fell backwards leaving the zombies around him silent.

Tanaka who was almost exhausted returned to his fighting stance. To finish off hundreds of zombies, he felt he was still strong enough to do that.

"Graa~"

"Graaaaaa~"

The zombies are moving. Tanaka was dumbfounded to see them.

"What the hell,"

Tanaka with an incredulous face looked at the zombies moving away from him. A few of them approached Tanaka. However, they did not have any kind of intention or gesture of wanting to attack.

"It is over?"

Hundreds of zombies returned to their respective activities. Wandering here and there looking for something.

The exhausted Tanaka now felt relieved. He dropped his body onto the cement surface which covered the ground beneath him.

Tanaka took a deep breath. He is now trying to recover his strength and control his adrenaline.

Previously, these zombies attacked Tanaka for being under the control of the mutant. However, when the mutants die, they stop attacking Tanaka and return to their normal habits.

This was something new for Tanaka. This means that zombies are things that can harm Tanaka if there are mutants around.

"I have to be more careful!"

Tanaka's ability to not be detected by zombies doesn't always work. Mutants are living proof that the ability has loopholes.

"There's no strength without weakness, huh..."

Tanaka closed his eyes while trying to hold the mutant's body beside him. Tanaka tried to confirm that the monster that is twice his height was really dead.

Signs of muscle movement are still present. However, since his head was crushed, the mutant couldn't make complex movements anymore.

However, Tanaka still chose to stay away from the mutant body and lay back down. Abandoning the weapon he had used to kill the mutant.

"Fortunately there was that female zombie,"

thought Tanaka. To calm himself, he tried to remember the previous events.

When Tanaka was attacked from behind, he immediately blocked the zombie's attack. At that moment it could be felt from the vibrations of the surroundings that the mutant was approaching and had arrived in front of the balcony.

Tanaka, who was holding back the zombie's urge using his sledgehammer, took advantage of the zombie's momentum to throw it backwards. Tanaka managed to do it.

The monster thought that the female zombie that was thrown was the target he wanted. Tanaka who saw the huge gap in the mutant's head immediately put all his strength into that one attack.

Because of the female zombie, Tanaka was able to outwit the mutant.

Slowly, the zombies started to become less and less in the area. Their indistinct groans were now getting farther and farther away.

Tanaka could feel the peace of mind he was looking for. Previously, there was an uneasy feeling that kept haunting him.

"I defeated this mutant... But I didn't get the trophy,"

said Tanaka remembering that he crushed the mutant's head instead. The only thing left in good condition from the head is the jaw.

Tanaka sat cross-legged.

"If I ever run into this mutant again, I'll try to-"

Before Tanaka could finish his sentence, he was stopped by something.

Tanaka stopped when he saw a figure he knew, or at least he had seen before, moving behind a house. The figure disappeared until a few moments later the sound of a motorbike was heard.

"Wait, you bastard!"

Tanaka knew that the figure was the same person as the rider who threw the grenade at him. Tanaka immediately took his sledgehammer which is still on the head of the mutant corpse.

The sound of the motorbike was already far away from Tanaka. There was no way for him to be able to catch up with the condition of the body that needed rest.

Tanaka tightened his legs. The right hand holding the sledgehammer was directed back. It's a pretext to throw things up.

"May the Goddess of Fortune bless!"

Tanaka said followed by his body swinging slightly downwards. The sledgehammer hovered a considerable distance away.

"Ah, too far,"

Tanaka spoke as he realized that his throw was not what he had imagined.

It was the weapon Tanaka used to kill the monster. Feeling redundant, Tanaka went towards the dimmer weapon with a bit of a limp.

He was limping because when he threw it, he sprained his hip joint.

"That bastard, if I catch her, I'll let her know the taste!"

Tanaka cursed while walking with a slight limp. He thought of various ways to repay the woman's actions. What is clear, what is in his mind is not something good. Precisely what comes to mind is an extreme sexual idea.

After about eleven minutes of Tanaka walking towards what was roughly the point of landing his throw, Tanaka noticed something unusual.

It wasn't a zombie dancing or anything like that, but rather a black motorcycle which had its center crushed with a sledgehammer stuck in it.

Tanaka's attack just now really hit the rider.

"Shit, she's not dead, is she?"

Tanaka panicked. He tried to find the woman rider around.

The man who was pelted with this grenade did have his own resentment towards the woman with silver hair. However, Tanaka did not intend to kill him.

There was a trail of blood leading Tanaka to a house. Upon inspection, inside there are a pool of blood where the trail had stopped.

"Shit, she probably has been ran away!"

Tanaka with his legs still limping returned to where the motorcycle was. Tanaka picked up his sledgehammer while checking for anything else he might be able to grab.

"Wooaaa~"

Tanaka searched the back of his motorbike. Inside there was an MP4 and two pistols that he didn't know the type of. There's also some spare ammunition in there.

For Tanaka, who doesn't have a gun yet, this is definitely luck.

"Where did these criminals actually get their weapons from?"

Tanaka was surprised. He is still confused about the reason why the criminals could actually have better weapons than him.

The obvious reason was because Tanaka was too late to plunder around. This occurred to Tanaka's brain and he didn't feel curious anymore.

Three firearms are now added to the list of essential items in Fire-Nebula Camp. This was a reward for what Tanaka had faced before.

The man whose limp had recovered somewhat now returned to the place where the mutant he defeated was located. He identified the body parts.

"If I remember correctly, this metal is wanted by several parties,"

Tanaka recalled something like information on a certain page.

Metals of some types of mutants are almost diamond-like in hardness, but have lower melting points. This is something that some of the major parties are looking for and is quite expensive.

"I'll take them!"

Tanaka decided. He tried to lift the mutant's massive body which weighed approximately three tons. Tanaka who is still in a bad condition was clearly not strong enough to lift him and instead injured his own body.

"Ahhhh!"

Tanaka was crushed under the iron giant's body. Previously he managed to lift the body. However, due to a sprained joint of his hand, he dropped the huge mass towards him.

Tanaka tried to get out of the corpse that was already unable to move. Several zombies came to check the sound of the drop earlier.

Tanaka who is currently able to see the sky with sunlight had a hard time getting out. This was because the position of Tanaka's body that did not support the hand to move pulled himself from that place.

Tanaka's squeezed body felt an intense pressure. At first when he was crushed, it was very painful. However, all Tanaka felt now was numbness.

Tanaka managed to get out of the giant's grip. He then leaned against one of the rubble of a nearby house.

"Damn it, I was too careless!"

Tanaka rubbed his stomach. The lower abdomen is the area where he was crushed earlier.

"At the sudden, me feel sleppy..."

Tanaka in a drunken tone spoke. His vision slowly became blurry.

He suddenly felt sleepy and soon the former hikikomori man fell asleep.

The wandering zombies made the sleeping Tanaka look like a corpse guarded by monsters.

~~~

"Tanaka?"

Yuki woke up from her sleep. The girl who was recovering after taking the drug got up from the bed.

"Tanaka?"

The girl tried to find a man she knew. Tanaka Hijimori, the person she likes.

"Ah!"

Yuki remembered something. It was Tanaka's earlier message saying that he would be out for a while. Yuki who heard the chaos in the East was worried.

"Tanaka..."

Earlier, Yuki had woken up half-conscious when she heard some kind of explosive sound. Then right after, she heard some kind of loud scream. Finally, the girl heard the sound of a large object falling and a loud clank accompanied by a kind of sound of electricity that propagated.

Tanaka tells Yuki that he is out. At the same time, Yuki felt that there was chaos outside.

Yuki is worried.

The seventeen years old woman was originally want to going to go to the scene. However, her steps came to a halt as a headache struck.

"Tanaka..."

In her sleep, the girl kept praying for the safety of the person she was referring to.

~~~

"Huh?"

Tanaka woke up from his sleep. He lifted his body that felt somewhat recovered from the previous fight.

In the same place as before he fell asleep, nothing new but the zombies were seen less. It was about noon.

"Damn it, my body regeneration is really crazy!"

Tanaka who was trying to feel his body praised. Earlier, Tanaka had felt his body filled with aches and pains. Most are caused by bruises created by the mutant throwing stones.

Fatigue was also very clearly felt before. However, after the mutant killer woke up, all those feelings disappeared.

Tanaka tried to check the mutant corpse again. Nothing suspicious has happened.

Tanaka took his equipment. Sledgehammer and a bag filled with firearms and ammunition. He decided not to carry the corpse of the giant that he couldn't lift.

The man who had just woken up then wandered around for a while. Hope that he will find something nice around.

"Hehe~"

Tanaka grinned with a strange smile. Not too far from where the mutant corpses were, Tanaka came across a very dangerous shop.

"This will be interesting!"

He finds a prostitution shop hidden in the interior of the alley. Tanaka with his dirty mind was clearly about to enter this place.

......

...

Tanaka with the two bags he carried walked into the sides of the alley. It was territory that seemed foreign to Tanaka.

"Left, right or front?"

In short, he forgot the direction.

Tanaka looked at the sun. However, the sun was directly above his head. It was exactly noon.

"Ughhh, I have to go back soon,"

Tanaka grumbled. He remembered that Yuki who is still sick needed his care.

Tanaka walked down the path he felt was right.

Tanaka stopped. He found a trail that he felt was quite interesting to trace.

"This is a trail of motor and oil... and gasoline..."

Tanaka touched the black liquid on the street. The man who was quite familiar with the texture and smell of chemicals concluded correctly.

Something like this obviously couldn't possibly have come from a zombie. Also, this thing couldn't have come from mutants or the sky.

"It means..."

Tanaka looked to his side. It was a three-story building that had the crest of pilox on its front wall.

'This is the villain's base!'

Tanaka sharpened his brows. He realized that this is not a simple place.

However, Tanaka knows that the villain in the jeep is dead. The motorcyclist has also fled. There was very little chance of any criminals remaining in the building.

Even so, Tanaka entered quietly so as not to attract attention.

The door opened slowly. The chaotic room could be seen as soon as the door opened. A common sight in the apocalypse.

Lots of things lying on the floor. Food scraps were all over the floor and there were a lot of bullet casings there. Scattered bullet casings without any trace of blood around.

Tanaka also had time to see some objects that he could call sex toys. Since he knew that there were girls in this group of criminals, Tanaka wasn't too surprised.

Tanaka carefully opened the bedroom doors one by one while checking inside. First floor is safe.

Second floor is safe.

The third floor is safe.

There was no sign of anyone else in the building. This means that the place is safe from the presence of criminals.

"Damn, no good stuff!"

Tanaka grumbled about his unfulfilled expectations. He hoped that the criminal's base was filled with guns or ammunition.

However, the thing that Tanaka wanted wasn't there at all.

Tanaka now turned to one last unopened door. It was a door on the first floor which looked like a back door.

The door opened and Tanaka could tell that there was movement to his right. Tanaka readied the gun he snatched from the biker.

In the style of a search cop, Tanaka stepped forward and looked to the right.

A ferocious man who had pointed his gun at Tanaka with a finger ready to pull the trigger.

Or so that is what Tanaka thought. He found not such a thing.

What Tanaka found is a woman in a terrible condition.

Her feet were in the concrete, her hands were chained to electric poles, there were multiple wounds on the back. Then, the worst thing is that she does not have a single piece of clothing that covers her body and instead is decorated with many sex toys in various areas.

"Hey, are you still alive!"

Tanaka immediately approached the poor woman. Tanaka just realized that the sex equipment he saw earlier was not used on the silver-haired woman.

All of that was used on this poor woman.

"Curse them!"

Tanaka's temper swelled when he found out how vile these criminals were. However, Tanaka's main concern right now is saving the rape victim in front of him.
