Chapter 79: Let the Humans Witness Our Power!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The massive army of zombies marched in a grand and undisciplined manner.

One could not expect the zombies to follow orders like well-trained soldiers, but their robust physical condition and fearlessness of death made them superior warriors compared to human soldiers.

About 10 kilometers away from Good Hope Village, the seven Zombie Kings gathered once again.

The leader among them was undoubtedly the Devourer, Sima Xiao.

At this moment, Sima Xiao was in high spirits!

Seven Level 4 Zombie Kings.

There were hundreds of thousands of zombies gathered together, enough to make anyone who heard about it tremble in fear!

In fact, in Sima Xiao’s opinion, there was no need to fight seriously in this battle. Just having the zombies horde charge would be enough to crush all enemies, retake the Holy Tower, and capture a few more Awakened individuals to enrich the crop in his vegetable fields.

However…

“I say, why are you two hiding so far away?”

Sima Xiao asked jokingly as he looked at Simba and Lian Jie, who were half-crouched on the ground and carefully hiding behind the Tanks.

Simba raised his head slightly, “Oh, ho ho ho! This is my combat form! When I assume such a posture, it means that I’ve entered a combat state!”

Lian Jie gave a strange look at the cautious Simba and thought that Simba was indeed a bit odd. After thinking for a moment, he said, “My mother is by my side, so I have to protect her.”

Sima Xiao shrugged. “Alright then.”

In its eyes, this battle was the endgame. Whether Simba and Lian Jie contributed or not was not that important.

But little did it know that Simba and Lian Jie exchanged a glance in secret.

As their eyes met, both sides showed a look of realization.

The meaning in their gaze seemed to say:

Simba: “Brother, how did you know there were monsters over there?”

Lian Jie: “I was driven out by that monster. Do you see that observation tower? That monster is standing there. It probably has spotted us by now.”

Simba: “That’s not good.”

Lian Jie: “Actually, I didn’t want to come either, but Sima Xiao made such a big deal out of this battle, and it’s hard to say who’s stronger between them and that monster. I thought I’d come to broaden my horizons, take advantage if there is any, and quickly run away if there isn’t. What about you, bro?”

Simba: “It takes one to know one… Once the fighting starts, let’s take care of each other. We mustn’t let that monster kill us.”

Lian Jie: “Yes, okay, brother.”

It was hard to imagine that so much could be conveyed through eye contact.

But perhaps, it was a talent…

Neither Lian Jie nor Simba said anything more.

Until the four Tanks let out a powerful roar!

This meant that the final attack had begun!

Sima Xiao stood in the most conspicuous position and waved its large hand, “Brothers, let the humans witness our power!”

As the zombie tide formed their battle formation, the entire Guangping Street Shelter had already entered the highest state of alert.

The survivors entered the underground shelter in an orderly manner. The Awakened ones used Lu Ming’s observation tower as the core to build a defense system.

Another speed-type Awakened person dashed towards the rear, preparing to inform the official shelter of the attack and request reinforcements.

Everything proceeded in an orderly manner.

Because they had a fixed point—the Beacon of Hope!

With Brother Lu around, there was hope. The others naturally did not have to worry about anything.

If Brother Lu could not hold on, everyone would die, and worrying would be in vain.

At the top of the observation tower.

Lu Ming narrowed his eyes and scanned the horde in the distance.

There were many zombies and quite a few high-level ones.

Lu Ming saw more than 10 of the Tyrants.

There were also three Tentacle monsters and four Giant zombies which were larger than the Tyrant.

As he watched, Lu Ming could not help but take a deep breath.

“So many, so powerful, so terrifying…”

Lu Ming was not afraid of the Tyrant.

This thing could not withstand a single shot from Lu Ming!

However, Lu Ming could not deal with the zombie horde—he did not have the ability for large-scale killing.

It was also difficult for Lu Ming to deal with a Level 4 zombie.

The Tentacle Monsters had extremely strong self-healing abilities and were not particularly afraid of Lu Ming’s Thor’s Hammer (Lu Ming did not know the characteristics of the Devourer).

As for those Giant Zombies, they were probably Level 4. Lu Ming had no idea what abilities they possessed.

The unknown brought fear and uneasiness.

Lu Ming felt goosebumps rising on his skin.

Suddenly, the roar of Giant Zombies resounded through the heavens and earth.

Before Lu Ming’s eyes, the horde began to move.

The Tyrant led the team, with the Hunters on the side, vigilantly watching.

Four Giant zombies merged into the zombie horde, exuding a strong stench and malice, and crushing towards Lu Ming like an avalanche. This made Lu Ming’s eyes gradually turn red.

A family member knows their own business best.

Lu Ming was alone. If he wanted to escape, he had a 100% chance of escaping this predicament.

As long as Lu Ming had the intention to flee, these zombies would definitely not be able to kill him on the spot.

But…

He turned to look at his house.

He thought of the supplies he had painstakingly gathered.

And he thought about what would happen if he lost his home. He would have to wander around, constantly on edge and fending off the harassment of zombies.

And he would go hungry.

That was right, he had to starve!!

Lu Ming’s appetite had already become so large. Without supplies and a stable logistics system, finding food every day would be an enormous task.

Perhaps, just finding food would take up all of Lu Ming’s time each day. Then how could he farm his attributes? How could he become stronger?

Such a scene faintly appeared in his mind.

He was like a tramp wandering the streets, wearing dirty clothes, rummaging through trash cans, and even cheering when he found a half-drunk bottle of expired Coke.

But the cheering attracted the zombies…

The scene in his mind came to an end, and Lu Ming shivered violently.

Taking a deep breath to clear his mind of all distracting thoughts, Lu Ming looked down at the briefcase by his feet.

Lu Ming muttered to himself.

“Why!

“Why do these zombies always have to shatter my sense of security?!

“Why?! Can’t you guys just stay outside obediently and let me peacefully farm my attributes?!

“I won’t go looking for you, so don’t come looking for me either. Let’s not meet for the rest of our lives. Isn’t that good?!

“Why do I keep bumping into you guys when I’ve almost never stepped out of my house… Why, why, why!!”

Lu Ming could not find the answer!

Hence, he could only open the attribute panel!

He looked at the line of words that said ’55 free attribute points.’

Without hesitation, Lu Ming allocated 25 points to Strength, bringing it to 223!

Vitality +30 points, reaching 228.7!

Then, he opened his briefcase, picked up a handful of zombie crystals, and stuffed them into his mouth.

Lu Ming stared at the approaching zombie horde with bloodshot eyes…

Until a heart-piercing pain surged from within his body!

His body started to heat up!

His muscles began to twitch involuntarily!

The intense pain made Lu Ming let out a roar, like an enraged wild beast!

But the pain passed as quickly as it had come.

About a minute later, the pain rapidly subsided.

Lu Ming slowly stood up…

He clenched his fists.

Power burst forth from his fingertips, unlike before.

He lowered his head.

He saw that his pants had shortened by a significant length.

He twisted his neck slightly.

The sound of bones cracking could be heard.

Faintly, Lu Ming could still hear his thunderous heartbeat!

Opening the attribute panel, Lu Ming’s attributes came into view!
