In Graham, the level of zombies varies from as low as 5 to four digits numbers. Even many zombies who run around in cities have levels in hundreds. Though the level system only exist for Jayden.
Right after teleporting into Graham, he fell into a sea. After struggling a bit, he was able to reach ashore. He was Lying on the ground, panting.
*growl*
After hearing the growling sounds and footsteps, Jayden turned his head and saw more than 100 zombies running towards him. The sight was truly disturbing, all the zombies looked truly ugly and gruesome.
" Holy Moly "
Jayden stood and detached the bags from his wrists. He turns his dragon bracelet into a katana, and lunges forward decapitating the head of the zombie nearest to him.

He didn't stop and kept beheading one zombie after another, because all the zombies present were less than level 30, none of them could pass through the defense of his Armor. So, even if they got close and managed to scratch him, his Armor protected him from all attacks. As he killed more zombies message kept popping in his head.

After no less than five minutes, Jayden was surrounded by the corpses of 117 zombies. He was covered in blood, the colour of zombies blood was orange. So, he looked as if someone dipped him in a bucket full of orange paint.
In killing all the zombies he consumed 2 hunger points. He looked at his status, after making sure no zombie was around.

" Although my level didn't increase, but I'll be able to earn a lot of blood points here. " Jayden said with a little excitement.
He thought Anna would comment something but she was being a little too silent. He shrugged and look around.
At a distance of around 5km he could see some buildings, with his heightened senses. Although most buildings were completely broken, there were a few which looked somewhat usable.
He started to run in the direction of, what looked like a city, at half of his normal speed. On the way there, he came across many zombie groups, though none of the zombie was above level 40. After killing about 84 more zombies he finally reached the city border.
There was a big tower, like the one used by guards to patrol the city boundary. He turned into mist and climbed the tower without making any noise. When he was on the top, he saw a zombie of level 66 patrolling there.
Jayden took the chance and sneaked from behind him, pushing his blade into the zombie's head from behind, killing him instantly.
[ You have killed a zombie, Level 66. ]
[ Level Up ]
He turned his blade back to the bracelet and let out his breath. He was a bit nervous, as the zombie was many level higher than him. But because he have chosen all aspects to level up together, his speed of leveling up is slower, but he could defeat enemies many level higher than him.
The whole city was surrounded by a big wall, like in 'AOT' and there were 4 more towers, in which zombies were patrolling. He looked into the city and was stunned by the sight.
In the city, there were countless zombies, he estimated the number to be around two hundred thousand. As far as he could see, the highest level seemed to be above 200.
He gasped and asked while looking at the horde of zombies:" How am I going to complete the quest? "
He waited for a few moments, but he didn't get any reply from Anna, he forget about the zombies for a moment and spoke again.
" Anna, are you there? "
Still he couldn't hear anything, except the zombies growls. He was confused as to why he wasn't able to connect to Anna, but there wasn't much he could do about it.
The stronger zombies were present inside the boundary, and to kill openly inside the city, he'd first need to kill the patrolling zombies on the towers. Each tower had a big bell present in them, as Jayden didn't want them to call even more and stronger zombies, he decided to first kill the patrolling zombies.
The intelligence of high level zombies can't be underestimated, Anna have told him, the strongest zombie's intelligent and IQ could be compared to the famous scientists of Earth.
Each tower had a distance of about 8 to 9 km between them. The day and night cycle in Graham worked nearly the same as that of Earth. He estimated to reach the third tower by the night, if nothing unexpected happened.
without any further ado, he climbed down from the tower and silently starts running along the boundary from outside the city. As it was difficult to carry his bags around, he left them on the first tower hidden under zombies' corpses. nove(l)bi(n.)com
On his way to the second tower, the first horde of zombies he met had a total of 32 zombies with a max level of 47. Without alerting them, Jayden started to behead them. Only after he killed 4 to 5 of them, did the rest noticed him and started to run towards him.
[ You have killed a zombie, level 24 ]
[ You have killed a zombie, level 31 ]
[ You have killed a zombie, level 9 ]

It only took him 2 minutes to kill them all. He didn't linger around and continued to run.
Along the way, he met many other hordes and managed to kill around 342 zombies, before he reached the second tower and 'jumped two whole levels'. Because he needed to use the mist form few times, his hunger point have reached 1838.
He was standing at the foot of the tower, calming himself and preparing to finish the patrolling zombie in a single strike. He turned into mist and silently flew towards the top of the tower, there standing was a zombie with level 114.
Jayden hesitated for a bit, seeing the level difference, but after a moment lunged forward and striked him from behind. He was able to cut his neck, but failed to completely behead him.
The zombie getting attacked suddenly panicked, but didn't turn and ran towards the bell. Jayden attacked him again to stop the zombie from ringing the bell. Before Jaydens' blade could kill him, the zombie punched the bell.
*bang*
A loud bang sounded across the whole city, and before he could punch the bell again Jayden cut his head off completely.
