Chapter 39

The zombies surged forward, more than anticipated.

There was a vast expanse of zombies. For a moment, Wang Xiong could not count the exact number.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Xiong’s skin began to turn ashen and he spoke to Zhang Lixin and the other ordinary survivors.

“Go to the fortress!”

Zhang Lixin, Meng Jie, and the other three entered the fortress without hesitation.

After the ordinary survivors took their positions, Wang Xiong and Zhang Chengcheng exchanged a glance, and had a tacit understanding.

Wong Xiong immediately took a detour and came to the gap in the back window.

The entire zombie strike array was now set up properly.

Lu Ming, occupied the high ground on the second floor as the firepower point, delivering deadly blows to the zombies.

With Zhang Chengcheng in front, and Wang Xiong in the back, blocking the two gaps, they formed the first line of defense for Lu Ming’s house. At the same time, they were also serving as bait to attract the zombies.

The useless ordinary survivors were all gathered in the small fortress outside Lu Ming’s house, doing the same bait job.

Then was this Zombie Strike Array effective?

The answer was… unknown…

This was because Lu Ming’s killing speed was shockingly fast, not giving the Zombies Strike Array a chance to unleash its power.

Ripples could be seen flying out of the second-floor window and landing on the zombies.

Most of the bullets hit their targets accurately.

Even if there were occasional misses, Lu Ming would quickly make up for it by shooting off the zombies’ heads within a second.

For the zombies, a 100 meters was not a very long distance .

However, with Lu Ming on the second floor harvesting, the zombies found it extremely difficult to move across that 100 meters.

Hundreds of zombies fell on the road. The leading zombies finally approached within 30 meters of the Zombies Strike Array.

However, the potholes and traps everywhere further hindered the progress of the zombies. Zhang Chengcheng also stretched out her hand, and a distorted wave lifted from her hand, covering the area in front.

The zombies slowed down instantly.

It was as if the zombies were carrying a heavy burden of more than a hundred catties.

This scene made Lu Ming widen his eyes.

“What the hell is this!?”

Superpower?!

These days, even superpowers exist!?

Hearing Lu Ming’s voice, Zhang Chengcheng turned around and smiled, “it’s my level-two awakened superpower.”

“Slowing down?”

“No, it’s gravity.”

Hearing Zhang Chengcheng’s response, a spark suddenly flashed in Lu Ming’s mind.

But now was not the time to think about it…

From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Zhang Chengcheng. Lu Ming unleashed his crazy hand speed from his 25 years of single life. He shot at a frantic speed, just wanting to quickly deal with the horde and thoroughly test his conjecture.

…

Simba felt a little confused.

Looking at the large group of harvested zombies in front of him, there was only one thought in Simba’s mind.

“This is impossible!!”

Simba’s intelligence was indeed “extraordinary,” and it realized a horrifying fact.

The ones killing the horde were not two Level 2 Awakened, but an “ordinary person” who was not even within its perception range.

That was what confused Simba the most.

The combat power of a Level 2 Awakened was clearly very strong. If the two Level 2 Awakened killed the horde, Simba would not be so surprised—because its underlings were just cannon fodder that consumed the physical strength and superpowers of the Awakened. The more they died, the more advantageous it was for hunting.

However, Simba could not accept that the horde of zombies had suffered a fatal blow before the two Level 2 Awakened even made a move.

A sense of unease began to rise in its heart.

When Simba saw the zombies falling to the ground at an increasing speed, it rolled its eyes and came up with a plan!

“Roar.”

(That ordinary person playing slingshot on the second floor is too ruthless! This can’t go on! Brothers, charge at him!)

With one call, the other four hunters responded!

The other four hunters did not quite understand the situation or the meaning behind Simba’s roar.

However, they clearly understood the meaning of charging forward.

Coincidentally, following their usual hunting logic, it wasn’t too early for them to make a move now, and the timing was appropriate.

“Swish.”

Under the moonlight, four figures swiftly flew out, like the most skilled parkour players, leaping and treading on buildings and vehicles as they rushed towards Lu Ming’s house.

Simba, on the other hand, remained motionless.

It just widened its eyes, carefully observing the situation. It even showed signs of retreating.

Until there was a loud “bang”.

The head of the hunter charging at the front exploded like a rotten watermelon. His body fell from the sky and landed on the ground, leaving behind a nearly 10-meter-long trail of blood.

Even with Simba’s eyesight, he could only vaguely see a small spherical object shooting out from the second-floor window, instantly killing with a headshot.

“What the hell is this!?”

“Bang.”

The second hunter also could not escape the fate of having his head blown off.

Even though they were very fast, Lu Ming’s dynamic vision was stronger, with a three-dimensional attribute advantage of more than 10 points, enough for Lu Ming to completely overwhelm the hunters.

“Bang.”

The third pellet was slightly off course and only hit the hunter in the leg.

However, Simba could see how terrifying the attack was. Its entire leg was sent flying as if its body had exploded.

As soon as the third hunter fell, its head exploded once again. it could not possibly be any more dead.

The fourth hunter still did not notice the tragic state of his companions.

With three companions as cannon fodder, the hunter successfully rushed within 30 meters of the death line.

Seeing this, Zhang Chengcheng’s gaze sharpened, and unleashed an even stronger gravity superpower, pinning the hunter to the ground, rendering it unable to move.

“Bang.”

The outcome was without any surprises.

…

All four of them perished in less than half a minute.

Simba was first dumbfounded, then suddenly shivered uncontrollably.

With the higher IQ of a top-ranked zombie, Simba made the wisest and smartest decision of its life.

Without another word, it turned and ran.

Under the moonlight, a hunter named Simba landed on all fours, baring its teeth, saliva flying everywhere. Its speed was so fast that even its facial skin was rippling in the wind, almost leaving a lingering image in the moonlight.

In just a minute, Simba ran out of Good Hope Village.

Hearing the roars of the zombie horde in Good Hope Village, a glimmer of post-disaster survival flashed in Simba’s eyes.

“Mon… monsters…”

There are monsters in this damn place!

Looking at the three characters “Good Hope Village” on the beam at the village entrance, Simba made a decision.

“I, Simba, would rather starve to death, die of thirst! I will never come to this damn place called Good Hope Village again!”

After muttering to itself, Simba turned its head and left without a care in the world.

…

Zhang Chengcheng’s gravity superpower was a perfect match for Lu Ming.

The zombies swarmed over. Lu Ming’s shots could not keep up with the speed of the zombies charging. However, under the suppression of Zhang Chengcheng’s gravity power, the speed of the horde slowed down and the zombies became idiotic targets.

As for the four hunters…

Well, Lu Ming had felt that the hunters did not give him a strong sense of oppression. At this moment, he did not feel particularly proud of shooting down the four hunters.

Slingshot Lv. 11-Lv. 12.

Then, from Level 12 to Level 13!

Until it froze at Level 13 (1075/1300), wherever Lu Ming’s gaze reached, there was not a single active zombie to be seen.

Smacking his lips, Lu Ming was overjoyed.

“When it comes to leveling up proficiency, it’s still better with zombies.”
