I Stack Attributes in the Apocalypse

Chapter 30



Chapter 30

Regarding the matter of escape, Wang Xiong had become quite experienced after going through it once.

Leading the remaining six people, Wang Xiong turned every corner, finding every opportunity to escape through windows and buildings—it highlighted his wealth of experience.

Although Zhang Lixin, Meng Jie, and the others were not Awakened ones, Wang Xiong had put them through a rough time, but it did ensure their safety—this was also closely related to Zhang Ye being the primary target of the hunters.

About 20 minutes later.

Zhang Ye’s heart-wrenching scream came from afar.

This made Wang Xiong tremble, and Zhang Chengcheng collapsed and burst into tears.

It went without saying what happened to Zhang Ye.

However, the tragedy made Wang Xiong even more calm.

“Village entrance, military vehicles, weapons, escape, downtown shelter!”

“And also Brother Lu Ming.”

Several nouns connected at that moment.

“First, let’s go to Brother Lu Ming’s house and take him with us! There are now Tier 2 zombies appearing in Good Hope Village. We can’t stay here anymore.”

Wang Xiong said as they fled.

This suggestion was unanimously agreed by the others.

The distance from Good Hope Village to the downtown shelter was 13 kilometers. Even if they had a military vehicle, it would be challenging for them to safely reach their destination with the zombies all over the road.

Lu Ming was an Awakened. Taking Lu Ming with him would definitely add another layer of insurance to their escape journey.

Furthermore, since even Zhang Ye had died, leaving Lu Ming here alone would be like leaving him to die.

Taking you with us is to save your life; it’s for your own good.

There was nothing wrong with that!

However, the actual situation once again astonished Wang Xiong and left him perplexed.

“I’m not going.”

Hearing the icy rejection from behind the door, Wang Xiong’s eyes slowly widened.

“Brother, that’s a Tier 2 zombie! Tier 2!”

“I know. You just mentioned it.”

“Then why did you—”

Before Wang Xiong could finish speaking, Lu Ming, who was inside,already sneered.

“There are already Tier 2 zombies appearing in such a small place like Good Hope Village. Wouldn’t there be even more high-level zombies outside?”

When I’m inside my house, I might be able to deal with the zombies, but once I get out, without cover, how can I fight the zombies?!

There was nothing wrong with what he said.

The road ahead was unknown, and anything could happen along the way.

No one had the ability to foresee the future, which also meant that anyone could make a clown of oneself.

Wang Xiong was not good at convincing people with reason.

Seeing that Lu Ming was stubborn, Wang Xiong became anxious.

Behind him, Zhang Lixin suddenly pulled Wang Xiong’s lapel.

This made Wang Xiong turn around.

He saw his six companions behind him stiffening their bodies, staring into the distance.

His gaze followed their line of sight.

He saw a four-legged, eerie zombie resembling a hunting dog slowly approaching from the end of the distant street.

And in its mouth, only the half-body of Zhang Ye was left, dripping with blood. His body was in tatters. His head was still intact, and his gray eyes stared straight at Wang Xiong, as if he had died with remaining grievances.

The atmosphere became tense.

The hunter placed Zhang Ye’s tattered body on the ground.

It crouched down, just like a real hunting dog, tilting its head to look at Wang Xiong and the others.

Strangely, the corners of its mouth curled up slightly.

It was as if it was mocking them.

The intelligence of the giant zombie was actually not low.

And the current situation seemed to confirm one thing—as the level of the zombies increased, their intelligence kept rising.

At least Wang Xiong could see the strange mockery and deeply hidden ferocity in the hunter’s eyes.

“It’s targeting us…”

Meng Jie muttered in despair.

That, too, was obvious.

To hunters, a Level 2 Awakened, Zhang Ye, was a great supplementary meal. However, Wang Xiong and Zhang Chengcheng, these two Level 1 Awakened, were clearly not inedible and unpalatable.

Just now, after dealing with Zhāng Yě and briefly feeding, the hunter dispersed the zombies and chased after them alone, following the trail left by Wang Xiong and the others.

It was like a real hound.

Greedy and persistent.

The entire street became oppressive because of the appearance of the hunter.

But the hunter made no further move.

It just scanned the seven people in the distance, or rather, it could sense that there was another ordinary person inside the house.

Therefore, there were eight prey.

After locking onto the target and remembering the scent, the hunter lowered its head, tore off one of Zhang Ye’s arms, and began to chew it voraciously.

“Let him go!”

Zhang Chengcheng screamed. She could not bear to see her brother suffer such treatment after his death. Fortunately, Wang Xiong quickly grabbed Zhang Chengcheng.

“Don’t act impulsively…”

After saying this in a low voice, Wang Xiong saw Zhang Chengcheng turn around in despair and look at him.

“What good does not acting impulsively do?”

Acting impulsively led to death, and not acting impulsively also led to death.

The moment the hunter appeared, the fate of everyone was already sealed.

Wang Xiong was speechless.

He did not know how to respond to Zhang Chengcheng’s question.

However, he suddenly heard a faint creaking sound from the window above.

Looking up, he saw that the window on the second floor had been opened. Lu Ming stood behind the window, calmly gazing at the hunter.

Wang Xiong couldn’t help but sigh.

“Brother, It’s my fault. I have caused you harm.”

He genuinely felt sorry for Lu Ming.

During the previous giant zombie chase, it was Lu Ming who had saved them.

And now, he had led a Tier 2 zombie to Lu Ming’s house.

Presumably, this time, there would not be a repeat of the previous situation.

Sadness came from the bottom of his heart. Wang Xiong couldn’t help but say, “I owe you a debt in this life, brother, I’ll definitely repay it in my next life!”

Then he saw Lu Ming give him a cold glance and raised his slingshot.

Lu Ming felt that Wang Xiong had some problems in his head.

Previously, he had advised him to move out.

Just now, he persuaded him to go to the city center with them..

And now, he was acting all melodramatic here, making it seem like a romance drama—Lu Ming hated this the most.

The key point was that this guy’s decisions never ended well. He was busy all day long, but always ended up with nothing to show for it.

This person was very strange. He had a talent for self-destruction…

After giving Wang Xiong a glance, Lu Ming no longer paid attention to him and focused on the distant zombie.

A Tier 2 zombie.

A hunter!

It did not look like someone to be trifled with.

But to be honest, the oppression from the hunter was not that strong.

At least, it was not as oppressive as when he first saw the giant zombie.

“Maybe it’s because of its physique… Although it looks strong, it’s still a bit skinny. Its strength shouldn’t be too strong, and its defense probably wasn’t that high either.”

However, it’s still a man-eating monster! It poses a threat to me!

If there was a threat, he had to eliminate it.

If he could not get rid of it, Lu Ming was prepared to retreat into the basement.

He leveled his arm and pulled back the slingshot.

The bowstring made a creaking sound.

Although the hunter did not impose a strong sense of oppression, it was still a Tier 2 zombie after all.

Lu Ming was determined to go all out.

The bowstring expanded further and further.

Lu Ming exerted force crazily!

Just a loud thud.

Lu Ming snapped the slingshot.
