nChapter 39

nThe zombies surged forward, more than anticipated.

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

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

n“Go to the fortress!”

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

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

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

nThe entire zombie strike array was now set up properly.

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

nWith 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.

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

nThen was this Zombie Strike Array effective?

nThe answer was… unknown…

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

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

nMost of the bullets hit their targets accurately.

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

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

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

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

nHowever, 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.

nThe zombies slowed down instantly.

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

nThis scene made Lu Ming widen his eyes.

n“What the hell is this!?”

nSuperpower?!

nThese days, even superpowers exist!?

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

n“Slowing down?”

n“No, it’s gravity.”

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

nBut now was not the time to think about it…

nFrom 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.

n…

nSimba felt a little confused.

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

n“This is impossible!!”

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

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

nThat was what confused Simba the most.

nThe 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.

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

nA sense of unease began to rise in its heart.

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

n“Roar.”

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

nWith one call, the other four hunters responded!

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

nHowever, they clearly understood the meaning of charging forward.

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

n“Swish.”

nUnder 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.

nSimba, on the other hand, remained motionless.

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

nUntil there was a loud “bang”.

nThe 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.

nEven 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.

n“What the hell is this!?”

n“Bang.”

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

nEven 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.

n“Bang.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

n“Bang.”

nThe outcome was without any surprises.

n…

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

nSimba was first dumbfounded, then suddenly shivered uncontrollably.

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

nWithout another word, it turned and ran.

nUnder 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.

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

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

n“Mon… monsters…”

nThere are monsters in this damn place!

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

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

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

n…

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

nThe 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.

nAs for the four hunters…

nWell, 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.

nSlingshot Lv. 11-Lv. 12.

nThen, from Level 12 to Level 13!

nUntil it froze at Level 13 (1075

/1300), wherever Lu Ming’s gaze reached, there was not a single active zombie to be seen.

nSmacking his lips, Lu Ming was overjoyed.

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

n
