I Stack Attributes in the Apocalypse-Chapter 28

Chapter 28

Night.

At the gathering place of the Zhang family.

To the Zhang family, today was a day worth celebrating.

First, there was a merger with another colony and an addition of an Awakened and 13 ordinary survivors.

Next, the leader of the colony, Zhang Ye, became a Level 2 Awakened.

However, the celebration was only limited to additional meals. After dinner, the entire colony became more guarded than before.

“This is necessary.”

“I’m worried. Worried that tonight, the zombies will do something strange.”

At the gathering place, in Zhang Ye’s room, Zhang Ye stood by the window and looked out.

In the room, Wang Xiong, Li Zitong, Zhang Chengcheng, Zhang Lixin, and Meng Jie were sitting or standing with solemn expressions.

Meng Jie said, “It has been confirmed that Awakened ones are extremely attractive to evolved zombies. The giant zombies will already take the initiative to hunt Level 1 Awakened ones. As for how attractive the Level 2 Awakened ones are to zombies, it’s still unknown at the moment.”

Zhang Ye nodded. “But it definitely won’t be weak.”

After saying that, Zhang Ye hesitated for a moment and said, “Besides, although we haven’t seen it with our own eyes, I’m sure that there are definitely zombies of Level 2 or above in Nanxiang City… If a Level 2 Awakened person like me can attract zombies of this level, I think we’ll be in big trouble.”

Everyone fell silent.

The smart ones among the six, such as Meng Jie, Zhang Ye, and Zhang Chengcheng, had gradually realized the disadvantaged position of humans compared to zombies.

This disadvantage was reflected in the evolutionary path.

Zombies evolved to hunt living people, and awakened ones evolved to hunt zombies.

The two of them seemed to be hunting each other, but when the condition: “If an Awakened wants to advance, he has to swallow 10 Corpse Crystals of the same level” was established, it meant that the upper limit of an Awakened was destined to be lower than an evolved zombie.

Low upper limit, weak strength.

The future prospects were not optimistic…

The night gradually got darker.

However, Zhang Ye and the others were not asleep.

People stayed at their respective defensive posts, looking into the dark night, each lost in their own thoughts.

It remained so until a short, low whistle broke the silence.

In the distance, a faint rumble sounded and it was getting closer!

There was a click.

The headlights inside and outside the stronghold were turned on, illuminating the entire vicinity of the Zhang family’s stronghold.

Hence, the survivor who was on sentry duty screamed in fear.

This was because he could see in the distance, densely packed zombies taking firm and fast steps, pouncing towards the Zhang family’s stronghold like locusts!

“Zombie horde! It’s a zombie horde!!”

The scream rose abruptly, then stopped abruptly.

The people near the sentry tower looked at the sentry tower and saw that the survivor who had just screamed had disappeared into thin air.

The Awakened closest to the sentry tower, Li Zitong, widened his eyes.

Because just now, he saw a blurry shadow pounce into the sentry tower from outside. In the blink of an eye, the shadow and the survivors disappeared.

Everything was like an illusion, but it was definitely not an illusion!

A terrifying thought arose in his heart.

“Evolutionary zombie.”

A higher-level evolved zombie!

…

The appearance of the higher-level evolutionary living corpse only caused Li Zitong to panic.

This was because Li Zi was the only one who had “witnessed” this matter.

He wanted to inform Zhang Ye, but compared to the evolved zombie, the incoming zombie wave was clearly more intimidating and oppressive.

Before Li Zitong could react further, a series of cracking sounds came from outside the wall.

It was the sound of a zombie stepping on a bunker trap.

A terrifying roar approached at a speed that no one could react to. Just 10 seconds after the watchman disappeared, the door let out a bang.

The first zombie had already slammed onto the big iron gate.

The steel door was fine, but the zombie’s head was shattered.

The comical scene did not make people laugh.

As the second, third, and eventually, tenth zombie charged at the iron door, the iron door began to creak under the weight.

Moreover, zombies did not only charge at the door.

The three-meter-tall wall was also their breakthrough point.

The strength and agility of zombies were stronger than ordinary people to begin with. They were all as agile as professional athletes.

A mere three-meter high wall was just a matter of sprinting and jumping for ordinary zombies.

Countless pale hands instantly reached the edge of the wall.

With a simple pull-up, rows of zombie heads appeared on the high wall.

The fresh human smell inside the wall made the zombies go crazy.

At this moment, without the instructions of higher-level zombies, the ordinary zombies had already jumped off the walls and ran wildly towards the three small buildings in the Zhang family’s stronghold.

“Oh no!”

This was Zhang Ye’s true thoughts at this moment.

He had thought that his stronghold was not impregnable, but safe and reliable.

Unexpectedly, the three-meter wall was insignificant in the eyes of the zombies…

“Run!”

A minute after the zombie wave arrived,

All the survivors in the Zhang family’s stronghold heard Zhang Ye’s angry roar.

In a certain room, Wang Xiong, Zhang Lixin, and Meng Jie looked at each other and were completely numb.

“How is that possible? It’s been only a while, how long has it been?!”

…

The collapse of the Zhang family’s stronghold completely shattered the psychological defense and inherent knowledge of the survivors!

When Jang Ye made a sound, most of the survivors did not react.

After all, the high walls here were sturdy. There were four Awakened here, and there were abundant supplies.

Previously, the Zhang family’s stronghold had also been attacked by zombies, but every time, it was just a small fight…

Who would believe you if you told me that such a stable stronghold would be gone in a minute? Who would dare to believe you?

Most of the survivors hid in the dormitory. Even when they heard Zhang Ye’s voice, they were unwilling to move.

A small number of survivors patrolling outside knew how bad the situation was.

However…

Run?

There were zombies all around.

Fight?

Without cover, even an Awakened could be dismembered!

When Wang Xiong walked out of the small building with Zhang Lixin and Meng Jie, he saw that the courtyard was completely in chaos!

A large number of zombies attacked any humans in sight. A small number had already run into the building, causing cries of despair within.

The survivors responsible for defense either fought or fled, while Zhang Chengcheng led a small number of people to lean against the wall, barely resisting, but it was only a matter of time before they were devoured.

Looking around, Wang Xiong felt both anger and despair.

The high walls that were supposed to protect everyone had become a prison, trapping the living.

The once sturdy stronghold had turned into a graveyard for everyone.

He thought he had found a way for people to survive.

Unexpectedly, in just one day, heaven had turned into hell!

At this moment, Wang Xiong did not know what to do, nor could he find any way out.

Until footsteps sounded behind him.

Zhang Ye walked out and stood at the forefront, facing the horde of zombies.

“Follow me and fight our way out!”
