"Remaining energy points: 87.68." Anthony never expected that a crystal from a zombie dog could convert 2 energy points. This means that stronger zombies can convert higher amounts of energy points.
What about the first-order mutant zombies? How many energy points can they convert? Excited but also heavy-hearted, Anthony's mood was somber. There were only eleven days left until the appearance of the first-order mutant zombies. At his current rate of enhancement, increasing attributes by 1.5 each day, he would barely reach the level of an Awakened after eleven days. However, it still wouldn't be enough to confront those two first-order mutants.
Just as he had witnessed, one possessed immense strength, capable of flipping over a car, with strength exceeding 1.5 tons. he other had a running speed faster than an ordinary small car, reaching speeds over 70 km/h, and both appeared simultaneously.
"If I become an Awakened, will there still be a chance?" Anthony pondered carefully. Awakened individuals not only experienced a significant improvement in physical abilities but also awakened their own companion abilities. In his previous life as a scavenger, he could only look up to these Awakened individuals. Consuming zombie crystals was too dangerous, and he didn't want to rely on that one in five hundred chance. He could only rely on the Spirit Pool.
Currently, the probability of awakening from the Spirit Pool was one percent, but that was only for a second-level Spirit Pool. He wondered if upgrading the Spirit Pool to the third level would increase the chances of awakening. Another issue was the future development of the base. One person's strength was limited.
He needed talented individuals from all walks of life, just like the survivor base in Linxian City from his previous life. They formed a powerful human army to withstand the zombie tide that would come three years later. Thinking about this, a trace of fear flashed in Anthony's eyes. He would never forget the colossal figure that swept through the tsunami-like zombie tide, nor would he forget the punch that effortlessly pierced through a wall five meters thick and a hundred meters high. People were engulfed by the zombie tide in panic, hoping to be consumed by fear.
He didn't want to experience such a thing again. Now, all he could do was become stronger, even stronger! Lost in thought, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance coming from the kitchen. His mouth couldn't help but water.
To be honest, although his warehouse had collected many ingredients, his cooking skills were,The cooking is not very tasty...
Turning around, Verna had already brought the dishes to the table. There was a plate of tomato scrambled eggs, a plate of shredded pork with green peppers, and a plate of dry pot cauliflower—ordinary home-cooked dishes, but they looked tempting in Anthony's eyes.
"Don't just stand there foolishly, come and eat if you want,I cooked enough for three people." Verna said impatiently, glancing at the dishes on the table and swallowing her saliva. Since entering the apocalypse, she hadn't had a good meal, let alone being full. She had dreamed about it. After four days, she didn't expect to have the opportunity to showcase her cooking skills.
"Well" Anthony thanked him and went into the kitchen to fill a large bowl of rice. He quickly sat at the dining table and started devouring his food. Seeing this, Verna hurriedly filled a bowl for herself and joined the battle...
Night falls. The temperature is much hotter than usual, likely due to the peak of glacial melting and greenhouse effect. Without air conditioning or fans, and with zombies roaming day and night, the survivors struggle to sleep throughout the night. In a civilian house, Bella is on the verge of a breakdown. Her hands are tied with a rope, and her body feels sticky from not having showered for four or five days.
What frustrates her the most is the presence of two middle-aged perverts emitting a foul stench beside her. Not only did these two individuals snatch her apple when she was most helpless, but they also occasionally touched her inappropriately. Fortunately, she managed to mention the security bureau, preventing these two perverts from going too far. However, she knows that this cannot continue indefinitely, as sooner or later they will discover that the security bureau no longer exists.
At that time... Bella can't even imagine. "No, I have to escape!" Bella discreetly glanced at the two middle-aged perverts beside her and realized they were sound asleep, snoring without any signs of waking up.
"They probably won't notice," she muttered to herself, as she slowly moved towards the wall, her hands rubbing up and down against the corner. Her movements were subtle, using torn strips of bed sheets as makeshift ropes.
After a while, there was a faint sound, and the strip of cloth snapped in two. She felt a sense of joy and carefully checked the two perverts, finding them still fast asleep. She quickly shook her slightly sore wrists and began untying the rope around her ankles. This time, she worked much faster than before. Soon, the cloth around her ankles loosened. She didn't want to wait a moment longer, so she immediately stood up, unlocked the door, and prepared to escape.
But in the next moment, a deep voice sounded from behind her. "Where do you think you're going, college girl?"
Bella trembled upon hearing the voice, her face filled with fear. She immediately suppressed the door latch. The door opened, and without thinking, she rushed out. "Hank, wake up! The college girl ran away?" The middle-aged man hurriedly pushed the thin, black man who was still sleeping beside him.
The black man named Hank woke up abruptly, immediately getting up and saying, "What? She ran away? Hurry, hurry and catch her! If that damn girl makes it to the security bureau, we might end up in jail. "The two of them grew more fearful as they thought about it and quickly gave chase.
It had only been five days since the disaster began, and the authority of law and order still suppressed people's animalistic instincts. But soon, that giant rock would fall off the cliff.
Bella raced downstairs at full speed, running as if her life depended on it. Her fear of the two men far surpassed her fear of the zombies. She didn't care whether it would attract zombies or not. As she ran, she desperately cried for help, hoping that the man she encountered yesterday during daylight would appear.
"Help! Someone is trying to harm me! Help!" In the dead of night, Bella's voice was amplified several times, echoing throughout the Yanghe community.
Anthony was having dinner when he heard the noise outside, causing him to pause with his chopsticks in hand. Verna, sitting across the table, also stopped eating and looked at Anthony inquisitively.
Anthony shook his head and continued eating with his chopsticks. Verna closed her mouth silently and quietly resumed her meal. She understood clearly that Anthony had already done more than enough by saving her and providing her with food. She had no reason to ask Anthony to go out and rescue others.
She wanted to speak out because of her humanity. Yanghe South Road. Bella ran frantically, with the two men chasing closely behind. The three of them ran all the way, but there was no sign of anyone coming out from the houses on both sides.
After running continuously for three to four minutes, Bella's stamina finally gave out, and her speed decreased sharply. The two men, due to their years of work on construction sites, had excellent endurance, although they were slightly panting due to their age.
"Let's see where you can run to, college girl. It's the middle of the night. What if a zombie comes..."
"Shut up and stop talking!" the man beside them immediately interrupted.
"You... you two perverts, I... I would rather die than go back with you," Bella gasped, gritting her teeth as she ran. The conversation between the two sides came to an end.
A zombie appeared from around the corner. "zombie... " the middle-aged man stammered in fear, while the thin, black man next to him cursed, " really jinxed it." They glanced at each other and stopped chasing, turning around to run away.
But when they turned around, the path behind them was also blocked by zombies attracted by the noise. The number of zombies around them kept increasing, forming a dense circle that trapped Bella and the two men in the middle. The two men's faces turned pale. They were in big trouble now.
