nChapter 31

nThe street was quiet.

nThe sound of the slingshot bowstring breaking was exceptionally ear-piercing.

nLu Ming looked down in confusion at the broken slingshot in his hand. After a moment, he slapped his head in frustration.

n“I used too much force.”

nNo matter how powerful a slingshot was, it was designed for ordinary people.

nCurrently, Lu Ming’s three-dimensional strength was nearly six times that of an average person. With such force applied to the slingshot, it did not seem surprising that he could snap it.

n“The plan has failed! Prepare to retreat to the basement!”

nLu Ming was going to run away.

nHowever, when he glanced at the window one last time, he noticed that the hunter across the street had not moved at all.

nIt was simply engrossed in eating Zhang Ye and didn’t even glance at Lu Ming…

nThat’s true…

nAlthough hunters had intelligence, this intelligence was mostly reflected in hunting.

nIn some ways, a zombie could not compare to a living person.

nFor example, in terms of determining who was strong or weak.

nBecause of the Mystery Factor, high-tier zombies could easily determine the level of an Awakened. In their understanding, only high-level Awakened posed a threat, while ordinary people were not a threat.

nAnd Lu Ming was not an Awakened.

nHe was just an “ordinary” survivor.

nThe zombie’s attitude made Lu Ming change his mind.

nPutting the slingshot aside, Lu Ming pulled out the bow and arrow.

nBending the bow, he fitted an arrow.

nTaking aim at the hunter.

nThe hunter still paid no attention to Lu Ming.

nThere was a click.

nThe aluminum alloy bow was again broken by Lu Ming’s pull…

nLu Ming: “???”

nWang Xiong: “…”

nZhang Chengcheng: “…”

nOthers: “…”

nThe hunter: “Slurp smack.”

n…

n“Ah.”

nThe survivors in front of Lu Ming’s house witnessed everything.

nWhen Lu Ming snapped the slingshot, they did not say anything, but disappointment was evident in their eyes.t

nWhen Lu Ming broke the bow, they could not hold back their sigh…

nWang Xiong thought for a moment and could not help but say, “Brother, what are you doing?”

nLu Ming’s calm voice came from above.

n“I didn’t expect my weapons to be so weak.”

n“They no longer suit.”

nWang Xiong: “Brother, given your current condition, we…”

n“Boom!”

nAn deafening explosion sounded.

nIn the distance, where the hunter was at the end of the street, shattered reinforced concrete flew wildly. Amidst the smoke and dust, the hunter’s ear-piercing wails blasted loudly.

nThe sudden voice stunned the seven survivors below.

nThey looked up in confusion at the window.

nLu Ming, who was by the window, grabbed a dumbbell and violently twisted off the weight plate.

n“This is quite useful.”

nThe 2.5 kg weight plate, together with part of the dumbbell bar, were twisted off.

nThe break in the steel was jagged, a silent depiction of the violence it had endured.

nAfter shaking the weight plate, Lu Ming turned around and pulled his arm!

nAt this moment, Lu Ming was like a slingshot, and the weight plate of the dumbbell was the bullet on the slingshot!

n“Boom!”

nThe sonic boom shook the entire window, making creaking noises.

nThe second weight plate flew straight at the hunter at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

nThis hit was a bit off.

nUnlike the first hit which directly smashed the hunter’s lower body.

nThe second hit struck a nearby shop, immediately causing the entire building to shake violently, as if a gas cylinder had exploded.

n“Roar~ Howl!?!”

nThe hunter was bewildered.

n…

nThe hunter indeed did not react to Lu Ming’s first attack.

nActually, just by looking at the physique of the hunter, you could tell that it was agile, with quick reflexes and speed.

nIf it faced Lu Ming’s throw head-on, it wouldn’t necessarily get hit — maybe a fifty-fifty chance.

nUnfortunately, it didn’t take the “ordinary person” Lu Ming seriously at all.

nOne could say it was arrogant and careless, falling victim to an unsportsmanlike sneak attack.

nBut who could he blame?

nWith the first dumbbell, Lu Ming got lucky and the hunter got unlucky. It hit the hunter’s waist with one strike.

nThe terrifying energy instantly severed the hunter’s torso.

nThis caused the hunter to emit a piercing roar.

nIt was in pain, it was furious.

nUntil the second strike fell on a nearby building.

nThe powerful destructive force immediately silenced the hunter.

nIt finally realized that it had encountered a formidable opponent.

nThere was no thought of launching a counterattack.

nWithout its legs,the hunter could not catch its prey.

nAt this moment, the hunter just wanted to escape.

nBut where could a legless hunter run to?

nAnd Lu Ming couldn’t possibly leave such a great threat unchecked!

n“Boom!”

nThe third dumbbell weight plate hit two meters in front of the hunter. The splattering steel and concrete debris pierced the hunter’s eyeballs, also making it hesitate to move.

nThen came the fourth strike.

nThe fifth strike.

nThe sixth strike.

n…

nAt this moment, Lu Ming was like a cannon.

nThe dumbbell plates flying out of the window were like cannonballs.

nThroughout the Good Hope Village, a series of “boom” sounds echoed, the volume and resonance slightly inferior to the artillery shells of the army half a month ago.

nThe loud noise naturally attracted the attention of the zombies.

nLu Ming did not care about that anymore.

nHe just mechanically threw dumbbell plates at the hunter.

nHe even gained a bit of unexpected progress.

nThrow Lv. 1 (0

/100): You have mastered the basics of throwing. All attributes 0.1.

nThis made Lu Ming even more reluctant to stop.

nHe continued throwing until his throwing skill proficiency reached Lv1 (53

/100) and stopped rising. Lu Ming then crushed another dumbbell and scattered it around before ceasing to throw anymore.

nAs the dust cleared at the end of the street,

nthe pockmarked road became an unsightly mess.

nIn the center of the road, a lump of minced meat, enough to fill dumplings, appeared before Lu Ming’s eyes, making him nod in satisfaction.

n“Not bad, it’s done.”

n“This thing isn’t as strong as I imagined.”

n“Crack.”

nLu Ming closed the window and prepared to rest.

n…

nWang Xiong and the others were also dumbfounded.

nThey had been in a daze since just now.

nAfter hearing Lu Ming close the window, Wang Xiong and the others finally snapped out of it.

nThey gasped.

nThey looked at each other, then turned to look at the smashed hunter not far away.

nZhang Lixin muttered, “That’s it? It’s over just like that?”

nWang Xiong muttered, “Yeah, is it over already?”

nMeng Jie thought for a moment and said, “I’m very curious about what level of Awakened Lu Ming is.”

nZhang Chengcheng had the quickest reaction. She quickly rushed out and searched the ground for Zhang Ye’s corpse.

nFortunately, Zhāng Yě’s body did not suffer much damage. When the hunter fled, it did not care about food at all…

nShe gently lifted her brother’s body.

nZhang Chengcheng took a deep breath and closed Zhang Ye’s wide-open eyes.

nShe turned to look at Lu Ming’s building.

nA hint of strangeness flashed across Zhang Chengcheng’s eyes.

nShe could not forget the earth-shattering bombardment just now!

nFor the Hunter, it was like the toll of a death knell.

nHowever, to Zhang Chengcheng, it seemed like a god’s punishment upon a demon!

n“The Hammer of Thor.”

nThe words “The Hammer of Thor” inexplicably appeared in her heart.

nThe more she thought about it, the more Zhang Chengcheng felt that the technique Lu Ming had just used should have such a majestic name.

nAnd a majestic technique would undoubtedly correspond to a peerless unparalleled person.

n“Lu Ming.”

n“His name is Lu Ming.”
