Chapter 56: Attack of the Level 3 Zombie Tide!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Actually, what Xiaohong said before was not wrong.
“In the first 10 days of the apocalypse, the Red Thunder Martial Arts School was indeed quite safe.”
At the beginning of the apocalypse, Zhao Honglei and his eldest son, Zhao Yongchun, became Awakened individuals.
With the strength of these two Awakened, along with the survivors of the Red Thunder Martial Arts School, they would definitely lead a good life.
However, 10 days later, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
Giant zombies began to appear in large numbers.
A giant zombie accompanied by a horde of zombies could destroy a Level 1 Awakened—even if the Zhao family father and son had trained in martial arts all year round, they would not be able to deal with such a situation.
It was during this stage that Zhao Xiaohong and Zhao Shanshan were abducted by Cheng Shen.
As the hunters began to appear, the doomsday for the Red Thunder Martial Arts School drew nearer.
“A Level 2 zombie is no longer something a Level 1 Awakened can fight against. Even if I have some martial arts skills, I can’t.”
“It was only then that I discovered the secret of the zombie crystals. Since I thought death was inevitable, I decided to give it a try. I swallowed the zombie crystal and advanced to a Level 2 Awakened.”
Fortunately, Zhao Honglei had awakened his concealment superpower, which prevented the zombie wave from being attracted to him during his advancement.
Unfortunately, the concealment superpower could only protect Zhao Honglei alone and not the others in the Red Thunder Martial Arts School.
“In fact, three days ago, I started going out continuously. It was not only to search for my daughter and disciple but also to find a way for everyone in Red Thunder Martial Art School to survive.”
Unfortunately, it was not just Red Thunder Martial Art School that faced this situation; most other survivors were even worse off than them.
In the past three days, Zhao Honglei had only seen about a dozen survivors. Most of them were hiding in their houses. Every second counted, and they were trying to survive by any means.
Other than this place, they had not seen any other organized gathering places… but they had seen many ruins of the ones that had been overrun.
What was more critical was that there were too many zombies outside.
With a population of tens of millions in Nanxiang City, it was possible to estimate how many zombies would emerge.
“Moreover, the evolution speed of zombies is faster…”
Speaking of this, Zhao Honglei’s face showed a trace of fear.
“I’ve never seen a Level 3 Awakened outside, but I did see a Level 3 zombie.”
Zhao Honglei couldn’t help but shiver as he recalled the figure he had glimpsed from a distance.
“I would call it the Tyrant.”
“It’s all right now.”
Li Zitong came to Lu Ming’s house and told him about Zhao Honglei’s situation. Lu Ming then spoke to Zhang Chengcheng.
“Let’s focus on advancing first.”
By advancing now, they could deal with the zombie tide today and enjoy the auxiliary training effects of the Level 3 Gravity Superpower tomorrow. Lu Ming was quite looking forward to it.
As for the zombie wave triggered by his advancement, although he was afraid, he could not avoid something essential because of a risk, right?
As a devoted fan of Lu Ming, Zhang Chengcheng listened to everything Lu Ming said.
As soon as Lu Ming finished speaking, Zhang Chengcheng immediately began to swallow the Level 2 zombie crystals, while Meng Jie observed and recorded everything in her notebook.
One crystal after another.
First, her body heated up.
Then, the power of her ability erupted.
Even though Zhang Chengcheng did not activate her superpower, Lu Ming, who was standing nearby still felt a heaviness in his body, as if he was carrying a bag of rice on his back.
Soon, the advancement process was completed without any danger.
Zhang Chengcheng slowly opened her eyes, moving her body and turning her head to speak to Lu Ming and Dong Jie.
“My physical strength has increased again! Doubled!”
The three-dimensions of a Level 2 Awakened were about 20 points.
Level 3 meant 40 points.
Thinking of his three-dimensional sports performance of 40 points, Lu Ming could not help but exclaim, “That’s very strong.”
But that was not the main point.
The main point was how much the effect of the superpower had increased.
As if she had guessed what Lu Ming wanted to ask, Zhang Chengcheng extended her hand towards him, and distorted waves emanated from her hand, landing on Lu Ming.
In the next instant, Lu Ming felt his body becoming increasingly heavy!
Twenty times gravity.
Thirty times gravity.
Fifty times gravity!
Until 70 times gravity!
As he moved his body, he could sense that his cells were activated and in a state of readiness for movement. This satisfied Lu Ming, and he nodded approvingly.
“This level is good enough.”
Under 70 times gravity, Lu Ming’s training would yield excellent results.
On the other hand, it was relatively easy for Zhang Chengcheng to maintain 70 times the gravity. Although she still could not avoid consuming Corpse Crystals, it should be much better than before.
“Let’s stop for now, preserve our energy, and prepare for the zombie wave later.”
After Lu Ming said that, Zhang Chengcheng immediately ended her superpower.
Looking at Lu Ming, Zhang Chengcheng saw him smiling and nodding at her. “Very good, very good.”
So, Zhang Chengcheng smiled back.
If Brother Lu felt that it was good, then it was really good.
There was nothing more important than this.
Speaking of a Level 3 Tyrant, Zhao Honglei’s expression turned solemn.
“That thing looks like it’s not to be trifled with. I took a quick glance from afar and quickly left.”
Fortunately, with his superpower, Zhao Honglei did not attract its attention, but it still left him trembling for a long time.
After briefly calming down, Zhao Honglei said, “In short, the situation of the survivors outside is very difficult, while the zombies are getting stronger and stronger. Although I’m reluctant to part with the Red Thunder Martial Arts School, for the safety of the others in there, I have no choice but to find another way, and seek out other strong gathering spots for safety in numbers.”
Awakened individuals or even living people would attract zombies.
Without enough manpower and a well-developed defensive line, this would not do.
Zhao Honglei has concealment ability, so he was not afraid, but his son, Zhao Yongchun was afraid, and the others in the Red Thunder Martial Arts School were even more afraid.
As for the gathering place on Guangping Street, it was a good choice.
At least, Zhao Honglei felt that it was very good.
The defense was rigorous, and there were a good number of Awakened individuals. The place was a decent size, and they even cultivated the land.
The only problem was whether they would accept their group.
If they did, then everything would be fine.
If they didn’t accept it… Zhao Honglei would have to find another way out. But he probably would not be able to find a better alternative in the short term.
He looked at Wang Xiong with hopeful eyes and saw Wang Xiong pondering. Just as he was about to speak, they suddenly heard the deep sound of an alarm bell from outside.
Wang Xiong’s expression changed.
“The zombies are here.”
After saying that, he gave an apologetic smile to Zhao Honglei and said, “Today, an Awakened person in our gathering spot is about to advance and attract a zombie wave. Master Zhao, don’t be afraid. Brother Xin will accompany you. I’ll be right back.”
Then, he quickly left.
Zhao Honglei was a little disappointed that he did not get an answer, but the disappointment quickly faded away.
After all, advancement and dealing with the zombie wave were both major events.
Thinking of this, Zhao Honglei turned to look at Zhang Lixin beside him.
“I still have some strength left in me. If you need my help, just say it!”
Earlier, Zhao Honglei had revealed that he was a Level 2 Awakened. This level of combat strength was already quite impressive.
At this stage, regardless of which gathering spot they were in, Level 2 Awakened were all big brothers.
Zhao Honglei wanted to do a favor for the Guangping Street gathering place.
Zhang Lixin also realized this.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Lixin nodded.
“Alright, thank you, Master Zhao..”
