nChapter 46: Simba: It’s Never Too Late for a Gentleman to Take Revenge

nTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

nDay 30 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Monday.

nAfter breakfast, Lu Ming went out to start training, but he did not expect to see Zhang Lixin jumping around at the door.

nSeeing Lu Ming, Zhang Lixin grinned. “Thank you for the fever medicine yesterday.”

nLu Ming nodded gently. “As long as it’s useful.”

nAfter interacting with them for a few days, Lu Ming felt that Wang Xiong and the others were all good people.

nHe did not want anything to happen to them.

nHearing Lu Ming’s words, Zhang Lixin jumped on the spot twice and said happily despite his distress, “It’s a pity that it wasn’t a fever yesterday…” Lu Ming:”???”

nHis temperature was already so high, but it was not a fever?

nLooking at Zhang Lixin, he realized that Bro Soldier could not stop jumping around…

n“Do you want to exercise with me too?”

nLu Ming asked in confusion and heard Wang Xiong’s stifled laughter not far away. “That’s indeed not a fever. That’s an awakening.”

nLu Ming was enlightened.

nYou don’t speak directly, and you bounce around here. What are you acting like ariddlerfor?

nLu Ming muttered a congratulatory word and then ignored Zhang Lixin.

nInstead, Zhang Lixin leaned forward excitedly. “Brother Lu, it’s good to awaken. It’s really good to awaken!

n“I am a soldier and yet I needed the commoners to protect me, and usually I could only assist you in a limited capacity. I’m also anxious. Now that I’m an Awakened, I can finally play a bigger role in the future.

n“By the way, Brother Lu, I’m preparing to advance to Level 2 today. I’ll have to rely on you for safety matters.”

nWang Xiong still had a lot of Level 1 zombie crystals.

nIt was enough to push Zhang Lixin to Level 2.

nLu Ming nodded and said, “With me here, you can rest assured.”

nA Level 2 Awakened could awaken superpowers. Compared to Level 1, it was a qualitative change. It was naturally a good thing that Zhang Lixin could increase his strength. Moreover, Lu Ming indeed needed to shoot zombies to increase his skill proficiency. Currently, most of his skills could not be upgraded just by shooting targets anymore.

n“But not until after my morning exercise.”

nZhang Lixin immediately nodded. “Definitely.”

nLu Ming was the stabilizing force here.

nEveryone knew that his superpower was very special. Exercising could increase the strength of his body. So, currently, Lu Ming’s morning exercise was the top priority of the gathering place. In the face of this matter, everything else had to take a back seat.

nSoon, Zhang Chengcheng also arrived.

nLu Ming, Wang Xiong, and Zhang Chengcheng began today’s exercise.

n11 a.m.

nThe tiring but fulfilling morning came to an end.

nLu Ming opened the attribute panel and carefully examined his various attributes.

nIt had been an entire month since the apocalypse arrived.

nAnd Lu Ming’s attributes were becoming more and more inhumane.

nAfter getting some food for Wang Xiong and the others, Lu Ming went home. He complained as he was making lunch, “My appetite is becoming more and more inhumane…”

nHe could now eat a meal equivalent to the rations of the past week. The time taken to eat was getting longer and longer, and the time taken to cook was also getting longer and longer.

nHowever, this did not matter for the time being. What was important was that the pressure on resources was indeed increasing.

nAfter dinner, Lu Ming finally made a decision.

n“I have to go out and replenish some supplies.”

nIn fact, other than Lu Ming, everyone else was already prepared to go out.

nWang Xiong and Zhang Chengcheng often went out, so they were quite familiar with the situation outside.

nZhang Lixin had also modified the military vehicle and prepared abundant ammunition for Lu Ming.

nOver the past week, Yang Guan and the others had also been busy surrounding Lu Ming’s house and the Zombie Strike Formation. They had roughly built the embryonic form of the colony’s defense. The planning could not be said to be professional, but it was quite impressive.

nNow that Zhang Lixin had become an Awakened and was about to become a Level 2 Awakened, even if Lu Ming, Wang Xiong, and Zhang Chengcheng went out, the safety of the colony was guaranteed.

nAfter lunch break, he felt refreshed with all attributes fully obtained.

nHe went up to the second floor and opened the window. He nodded at Zhang Lixin under the window and saw that Zhang Lixin immediately began to take the zombie crystals. He could not wait to break through.

nAfter swallowing ten consecutive pills, Zhang Lixin closed his eyes slightly and felt the heat rising from his body.

nOne could see that Zhang Lixin’s body seemed to be softening—his arms were sometimes long and sometimes short, like rubber.

nThe others did not pay attention to Zhang Lixin.

nEveryone was focused on guarding against the zombie wave.

nHowever, reality was different from what he had imagined.

nOne hour…

nTwo hours…

nThree hours…

nBy dinner time, the zombie wave had yet to arrive.

nLu Ming had no choice but to sigh. As he put down the slingshot, he said to the people below, “They might not come. I think we seem to have cleaned up the surrounding zombies.”

nThey all nodded.

nBecause this was the only possible explanation.

nOn a tall building outside Good Hope Village.

nSensing the alluring aura coming from not far away, Simba growled.

nHe could see that the zombies in all directions instantly fell silent under Simba’s low roar, not daring to make too much noise.

nThere were even two Class 2 hunters!

nAfter warning his lackeys, Simba looked up in the direction of Lu Ming’s house.

nSimba’s eyes flashed, and he grinned.

n“Oh-ho-ho-ho.”

n(Ridiculous mortal, trying to tempt Simba the Great! With Simba’s intelligence, how could I not know that this was a trap you set for me!?)

nSimba shuddered uncontrollably at the memory of that night’s nightmare, but raised his head again. “Roar!”

n(It’s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. The day I advance… No, the day I advance two levels will be the day I reign over this small village again!)

nIt could already sense that it was not far from advancing.

nHowever, even though he was about to become a Level 3 zombie and had subdued a large zombie horde, Simba still had a heartfelt fear of the person in Good Hope Village.

nThe will of a high-level zombie could not be sensed by humans, but it was transmitted in all directions.

nFrom above, the people could see that the zombies in Good Hope Village were actually slowly withdrawing from Good Hope Village, as if there was some even more terrifying monster in Good Hope Village…

nThis was the fundamental reason why Zhang Lixin’s advancement did not trigger the zombie tide.

nFinally, he gazed affectionately at Good Hope Village for a moment.

nSimba let out an “oh ho ho ho ho” sound.

nHence, the zombies began to move away from Good Hope Village and the city center..
