Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System-Chapter 263: A-Level Zombie! The Obsessed

But near the theater, there were few zombies. Even if a few appeared, they were all mutated zombies. Two Tyrant Zombies stood at the main entrance of the theater like warriors, seemingly guarding the entrance.

Alex parked the Reaper Tank in a green belt and listened. Several groups of zombies roared as they approached the tank, but after a round of biting and beating, they quickly lost interest and continued wandering aimlessly. Alex opened the hatch, took the binoculars handed over by Ge, and looked towards the main entrance of the Magic City Cultural Center Grand Theater from a distance.

A small statured zombie, entirely black with a metallic sheen, kept wandering around the entrance of the cinema. Like a machine, it repeated this meaningless action over and over again. This zombie didn’t appear large, but the sharp row of black articulated limbs moving behind it and the blood-red tentacles wriggling on its mouth made it look incredibly ferocious and terrifying.

[Beep beep beep... Detected A-Level Mutant Zombie — The Obsessed.]

[Danger Warning!!]

[Danger Level: A+]

[Constitution: 398]

[Spirit: 122]

[Strength: 357]

[Endurance: 487]

[Agility: 399]

[Skills: Undead Body]

[Characteristic 1: Mentally fragile, prone to breakdowns; once broken, it will go berserk, easily agitated emotionally.]

[Characteristic 2: Hesitant but exceptionally persistent toward things it liked before death; therefore, it will continuously repeat some incomprehensible actions, pursuing its obsession.]

[Characteristic 3: Possesses an undead body, capable of continuously repairing its injured body; regardless of any damage to the body, it will quickly regenerate. Any separated body parts will turn into slime and return to The Obsessed, making it almost immortal until its life energy is depleted.]

[Characteristic 4: Once targeted by The Obsessed, it will pursue relentlessly without rest!]

[Reminder: The combat power of The Obsessed among A-Level zombies is not considered formidable. However, its super-strong recovery ability and the skill of an undead body, coupled with relentless pursuit, make it an extremely tricky opponent among A-Level zombies!

The biggest weakness of such zombies is psychic attacks, but it’s challenging to kill them with psychic attacks; it can only cause paralysis, confusion, or fainting. If a psychic attack triggers The Obsessed’s berserk mode, it becomes even more troublesome.]

Alex looked at the Obsessed zombie at the entrance of the theater and couldn’t help but furrow his brow slightly. According to the system’s prompts, this Obsessed zombie was indeed very troublesome. It was like an indestructible cockroach, and it even had an air of indifference.

Dealing with such an opponent made even Alex feel a headache. Moreover, Alex currently only possessed the triggering-type skill of the Sinful Blade as his sole psychic attack spell. In reality, Alex himself didn’t have spells specifically designed for psychic attacks.

Even among Alex’s mutant warriors, few exhibited outstanding psychic attack abilities. Handling this Obsessed zombie was proving to be quite challenging for Alex. Killing it with the Sinful Blade was seemingly improbable.

Either Alex had to find a way to bind and control the zombie, or he needed to figure out how to obtain the corpse of this A-level zombie. However, a living zombie couldn’t be buried.

"Master, it seems this zombie has been lingering at the theater entrance, as if waiting for someone. Sometimes, it even directs other mutant zombies to bring food to those people inside. It feels... very eerie," Ge hurriedly reminded as he saw Alex frowning. "I speculate that this zombie might be searching for or awaiting something important."

Alex nodded slightly, neither confirming nor denying Ge’s speculation. However, after learning about the peculiar characteristics of this Obsessed zombie through the system, Alex had some vague guesses.

Judging from the clothes the zombie was still wearing and the sign attached to its back, Alex strongly suspected that this zombie was a celebrity chaser in its previous life.

His obsession was very likely those celebrities inside.

Given the abilities of this Obsessed zombie, climbing to the second floor of the theater, breaking the windows, and rushing in to massacre everyone inside should be a straightforward task. Moreover, this Obsessed zombie surprisingly frequently sent food to those inside.

This didn’t seem like the intention to devour the people upstairs at all. It looked more like it was protecting the people inside.

"Perhaps inside this theater, I can find a way to deal with this Obsessed zombie," Alex mumbled to himself. He jumped down from the Executioner Armored Tank, gave instructions to Ge and the others, and activated his invisibility skill, quickly heading towards the interior of the theater.

Just as he was about to approach the Obsessed zombie, Alex blinked and suddenly appeared on the second floor of the theater. Read latest chapters at novelbuddy

At this moment, the second floor of the theater was filled with people. Alex looked around and roughly counted the number of individuals—there were about fifty or more.

And almost all of them were women!

This surprised Alex, and he couldn’t believe his eyes. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. Fifty-plus survivors, and they were all women, not a single man among them.

"Weird! How could there be only women left in this theater? Where are the men?"

Alex couldn’t help but furrow his brow, sensing the strangeness of the situation. Moreover, these women inside seemed quite lethargic, even somewhat emaciated. Obviously, although they had some food, it was far from being enough.

However, what surprised Alex the most was that the majority of these fifty-plus survivors were beautiful women, and nearly half of them were female celebrities!

At a glance, all of them were beautiful female celebrities!

Of course, there were also male celebrities.

These people sat in the lounge on the second floor with a weary and lifeless appearance. Hunger and despair made them seem lifeless, far from their previous glamorous selves.

Even in such dire circumstances, these people were impeccably dressed, and their clothes were spotless. Some female celebrities had even put on makeup.

Appearance was an essential quality for a celebrity. Even in this post-apocalyptic environment, their emphasis on appearance left Alex somewhat admiring.

Especially the older celebrities like Fan Bingbing and Lin Zhiling were extremely attentive to their appearance. At this moment, they still wore heavy makeup, making themselves look flamboyant.

Their evening gowns were also quite revealing.

However, those male celebrities seemed to have no interest in female celebrities. In fact, there was a palpable tension between the two groups. Prolonged hunger and fear had robbed these men of their vigor, leaving them like lost souls.

Only a few celebrity couples hugged each other in a despondent manner, seemingly savoring the last traces of love and tenderness in the apocalypse.
