I Stack Attributes in the Apocalypse - Chapter 46

Chapter 46: Simba: It’s Never Too Late for a Gentleman to Take Revenge

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Day 30 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Monday.

After breakfast, Lu Ming went out to start training, but he did not expect to see Zhang Lixin jumping around at the door.

Seeing Lu Ming, Zhang Lixin grinned. “Thank you for the fever medicine yesterday.”

Lu Ming nodded gently. “As long as it’s useful.”

After interacting with them for a few days, Lu Ming felt that Wang Xiong and the others were all good people.

He did not want anything to happen to them.

Hearing Lu Ming’s words, Zhang Lixin jumped on the spot twice and said happily despite his distress, “It’s a pity that it wasn’t a fever yesterday…” Lu Ming:”???”

His temperature was already so high, but it was not a fever?

Looking at Zhang Lixin, he realized that Bro Soldier could not stop jumping around…

“Do you want to exercise with me too?”

Lu Ming asked in confusion and heard Wang Xiong’s stifled laughter not far away. “That’s indeed not a fever. That’s an awakening.”

Lu Ming was enlightened.

You don’t speak directly, and you bounce around here. What are you acting like ariddlerfor?

Lu Ming muttered a congratulatory word and then ignored Zhang Lixin.

Instead, Zhang Lixin leaned forward excitedly. “Brother Lu, it’s good to awaken. It’s really good to awaken!

“I am a soldier and yet I needed the commoners to protect me, and usually I could only assist you in a limited capacity. I’m also anxious. Now that I’m an Awakened, I can finally play a bigger role in the future.

“By the way, Brother Lu, I’m preparing to advance to Level 2 today. I’ll have to rely on you for safety matters.”

Wang Xiong still had a lot of Level 1 zombie crystals.

It was enough to push Zhang Lixin to Level 2.

Lu Ming nodded and said, “With me here, you can rest assured.”

A Level 2 Awakened could awaken superpowers. Compared to Level 1, it was a qualitative change. It was naturally a good thing that Zhang Lixin could increase his strength. Moreover, Lu Ming indeed needed to shoot zombies to increase his skill proficiency. Currently, most of his skills could not be upgraded just by shooting targets anymore.

“But not until after my morning exercise.”

Zhang Lixin immediately nodded. “Definitely.”

Lu Ming was the stabilizing force here.

Everyone knew that his superpower was very special. Exercising could increase the strength of his body. So, currently, Lu Ming’s morning exercise was the top priority of the gathering place. In the face of this matter, everything else had to take a back seat.

Soon, Zhang Chengcheng also arrived.

Lu Ming, Wang Xiong, and Zhang Chengcheng began today’s exercise.

11 a.m.

The tiring but fulfilling morning came to an end.

Lu Ming opened the attribute panel and carefully examined his various attributes.

It had been an entire month since the apocalypse arrived.

And Lu Ming’s attributes were becoming more and more inhumane.

After getting some food for Wang Xiong and the others, Lu Ming went home. He complained as he was making lunch, “My appetite is becoming more and more inhumane…”

He could now eat a meal equivalent to the rations of the past week. The time taken to eat was getting longer and longer, and the time taken to cook was also getting longer and longer.

However, this did not matter for the time being. What was important was that the pressure on resources was indeed increasing.

After dinner, Lu Ming finally made a decision.

“I have to go out and replenish some supplies.”

In fact, other than Lu Ming, everyone else was already prepared to go out.

Wang Xiong and Zhang Chengcheng often went out, so they were quite familiar with the situation outside.

Zhang Lixin had also modified the military vehicle and prepared abundant ammunition for Lu Ming.

Over the past week, Yang Guan and the others had also been busy surrounding Lu Ming’s house and the Zombie Strike Formation. They had roughly built the embryonic form of the colony’s defense. The planning could not be said to be professional, but it was quite impressive.

Now that Zhang Lixin had become an Awakened and was about to become a Level 2 Awakened, even if Lu Ming, Wang Xiong, and Zhang Chengcheng went out, the safety of the colony was guaranteed.

After lunch break, he felt refreshed with all attributes fully obtained.

He went up to the second floor and opened the window. He nodded at Zhang Lixin under the window and saw that Zhang Lixin immediately began to take the zombie crystals. He could not wait to break through.

After swallowing ten consecutive pills, Zhang Lixin closed his eyes slightly and felt the heat rising from his body.

One could see that Zhang Lixin’s body seemed to be softening—his arms were sometimes long and sometimes short, like rubber.

The others did not pay attention to Zhang Lixin.

Everyone was focused on guarding against the zombie wave.

However, reality was different from what he had imagined.

One hour…

Two hours…

Three hours…

By dinner time, the zombie wave had yet to arrive.

Lu Ming had no choice but to sigh. As he put down the slingshot, he said to the people below, “They might not come. I think we seem to have cleaned up the surrounding zombies.”

They all nodded.

Because this was the only possible explanation.

On a tall building outside Good Hope Village.

Sensing the alluring aura coming from not far away, Simba growled.

He could see that the zombies in all directions instantly fell silent under Simba’s low roar, not daring to make too much noise.

There were even two Class 2 hunters!

After warning his lackeys, Simba looked up in the direction of Lu Ming’s house.

Simba’s eyes flashed, and he grinned.

“Oh-ho-ho-ho.”

(Ridiculous mortal, trying to tempt Simba the Great! With Simba’s intelligence, how could I not know that this was a trap you set for me!?)

Simba shuddered uncontrollably at the memory of that night’s nightmare, but raised his head again. “Roar!”

(It’s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. The day I advance… No, the day I advance two levels will be the day I reign over this small village again!)

It could already sense that it was not far from advancing.

However, even though he was about to become a Level 3 zombie and had subdued a large zombie horde, Simba still had a heartfelt fear of the person in Good Hope Village.

The will of a high-level zombie could not be sensed by humans, but it was transmitted in all directions.

From above, the people could see that the zombies in Good Hope Village were actually slowly withdrawing from Good Hope Village, as if there was some even more terrifying monster in Good Hope Village…

This was the fundamental reason why Zhang Lixin’s advancement did not trigger the zombie tide.

Finally, he gazed affectionately at Good Hope Village for a moment.

Simba let out an “oh ho ho ho ho” sound.

Hence, the zombies began to move away from Good Hope Village and the city center..
