I Stack Attributes in the Apocalypse-Chapter 18

Chapter 18

The zombie wave surged forward.

Wang Xiong and the other two relied on the terrain to resist, but there was no hope of breaking out.

The giant zombie stood at the back, like a general leading troops to war. It raised its head proudly, as if it was saying, “Do you think your little tricks can fool me?!”

Coincidentally, this battle between the zombies and the survivors was happening not far from Lu Ming’s home…

Lu Ming, who was “peeking” through the observation hole, witnessed everything from beginning to end.

It was impossible for him to have any thoughts of saving the people.

There were so many zombies outside. He was just an ordinary civilian. If he went out to save them, wouldn’t he be putting himself in danger?

You know that I don’t have that ability, right?

All Lu Ming could do was to take a good look, observe the zombies and that giant zombie, and learn from the deaths of Wang Xiong and the others.

The focus of his observation was on the giant zombie.

Ordinary undead could not pose any threat to his house; reinforced concrete was an impenetrable barrier for them.

However, Lu Ming did not know the power of the giant zombie, nor did he know if the reinforced concrete could stop it.

It stood two meters tall.

Solid muscles.

A shiny bald head.

Pale eyeballs…

“It looks incredibly strong! It’s an existence I can’t provoke!”

Making this deduction in his mind, Lu Ming took another look and suddenly noticed that the giant zombie’s pale eyes were staring at him from afar.

Lu Ming broke out in cold sweat.

…

As a superior evolutionary zombie, the giant zombie possessed several additional abilities.

First, a stronger body.

Second, the ability to command the horde of zombies.

And third, a sharper sense.

Ordinary zombies had powerful hearing, but weak sense of smell and vision. The giant zombies were slightly better, as it not only had enhanced hearing but also possessed the same sense of smell and vision as normal humans.

More importantly, the giant zombie seemed to have the ability to locate awakened individuals and even living people—it could easily determine where there was prey, and even the number of prey.

The moment Lu Ming peeked through the window, the giant zombie acutely sensed Lu Ming’s presence.

It looked ferociously in Lu Ming’s direction, catching a glimpse of his pale face.

With a loud snort, the giant zombie cracked a malicious smile and greeted Lu Ming from afar.

“Don’t be anxious. After I finish the feast, you’ll be my after-dinner dessert!”

That was what the giant zombie wanted to say.

The flesh and blood of an Awakened was definitely the most nourishing, but ordinary people also had some value.

The giant zombie sensed that the survivor in that house was an ordinary person. Although the house he lived in was a little bigger and looked a little sturdier, the giant zombie firmly believed that the house could not stop him.

“Roar!”

Roaring angrily at Lu Ming, the giant zombie bared its teeth at him, as if it was declaring its ownership over Lu Ming!

…

Oh no!

That was the first thought in Lu Ming’s mind.

It’s targeting me.

It wants to eat me.

Zombies feeding on humans was a normal phenomenon in the apocalypse. There was nothing strange about it. However, if he became the prey, he would definitely not feel good.

Lu Ming felt terrible now.

He felt so uncomfortable that his entire body itched and he was fidgety and restless!

“It saw me.”

“It must have seen me.”

“It wants to eat me. When it finishes eating the three survivors, the next step is to come for me…”

“I’m going to be eaten.”

His heartbeat gradually accelerated.

But soon, Lu Ming calmed down.

He was not sure if his house could withstand that formidable giant zombie.

But he was certain that he could not continue to sit and wait for death!

He took deep breaths,and his expression gradually turned fierce.

Picking up the slingshot and steel balls on the table, Lu Ming quickly opened the iron grilles and half of the window!

The air outside, mixed with the smell of blood and decay, surged into the house.

It made Lu Ming’s heart calm down a little.

Seeing that the giant zombie had already turned its gaze to Wang Xiong and the other two, Lu Ming gripped the slingshot tightly, loaded it and pulled it back.

He aimed at the giant zombie’s head.

“You want to eat me! I’ll kill you first!”

…

Lu Ming’s slingshot was made of titanium alloy, the rubber band was made of four rubber tubes, and the ammunition was 9mm steel balls.

This kind of configured slingshot was after a miracle through great strength!

Unlike crossbows, the lethality of a slingshot depended mostly on the user’s strength…

Was Lu Ming strong?

Clearly, he was!

Can the slingshot withstand the force?

Barely.

With the enhancement of slingshot shooting Lv. 7, Lu Ming’s accuracy was also guaranteed.

He instantly pulled the bowstring to its maximum. Lu Ming could even faintly hear the creaking sound coming from the slingshot.

With a focused gaze and steady breath, he aimed at the shiny forehead of the giant zombie.

In the next second, there was a loud “bang.

The 9mm steel ball was fired from the slingshot, even creating blurry ripples in the air.

Just a loud thud.

The skull of the giant zombie was instantly torn open, revealing grayish-white brain tissue.

…

The giant zombie was stunned.

In fact, its attention was not on Lu Ming at all.

A coward and an ordinary person, what kind of trouble could he cause?

Its attention was entirely focused on Wang Xiong.

Just as it decided to join the battle and deliver the final blow to Wang Xiong, a cold breeze suddenly surged into its mind—in the truest sense.

Looking around in confusion, the giant zombie felt as if something was missing from its head.

The giant zombie reached out to touch its scalp, but it only felt something soft and squishy.

Its brain gradually became heavy.

Its body gradually went limp.

At this moment, the giant zombie still had not realized what was wrong with itself.

Until there was a shrill sound of air being torn apart.

From the corner of its eye, it saw a cold glint in the house he had seen earlier.

Then there was a snap.

Two fingers broke off and flew far away.

Sticky grayish-white stuff splattered all over the giant zombie’s face.

A round, pale eyeball detached from its face and fell at its feet.

Summoning the last bit of strength, it looked towards that house.

And there, on the second floor of the house, the window was wide open. A young man with a fierce expression raised his slingshot and shot out a third steel ball.

“Pa!”

Headshot!

This attack completely smashed the giant zombie’s head.

Even until its dying moments, the giant zombie remained bewildered.

However, if it were given another chance to start over, the giant zombie would surely give himself a piece of advice.

“Don’t look at that house!”

“Why are you looking at him for no reason?”

…

Lu Ming, who ended the giant zombie with three shots, was panting heavily.

He looked at the street.

He realized that the death of the giant zombie did not cause much disturbance to the horde of zombies.

The lowest-ranked zombie had no intelligence or consciousness. Even when their leader died, they still followed their instincts, rushing forward in succession towards living beings, seeking only a fresh blood meal.

Taking a deep breath to ease the tension in his heart, Lu Ming looked at the horde of zombies on the street with a ruthless gaze!

“Zombies will evolve!”

“Since a giant zombie can appear, a second and third one can as well!”

“Zombies are too dangerous, truly too dangerous.”

He reloaded and pulled the pin.

He aimed at an ordinary zombie.

“Pa!”

He shot it in the head.

“I’m not killing zombies. I’m killing future giant zombies.”

“They threaten my life. So all of them must die!!”
