Lucas York looked at Mia's pleading gaze. There was no use in him denying it now, she would not believe him anyway.“I’m not an Evolved One, I can’t help you.”“But senior, I…”Before Hattie finished speaking, she was interrupted by Lucas. “Annan Base City is not far from Copper City, you can go there,” Lucas said slowly.“Senior, I’m just an ordinary person. There are so many zombies in Copper City.”What Hattie meant was if she were to travel to Annan Base City alone, she would most likely be eaten by zombies.Lucas did not reply and walked toward the exit.Hattie pondered for a few seconds, then quickly followed him.“Senior, can you send me to Annan Base City?” Hattie looked at Lucas pleadingly.“No,” Lucas replied curtly.When he first transmigrated here, before he obtained the System, he had seen how fickle human feelings could be. Did human life even mean anything in an apocalypse?However…Lucas recalled when he had saved Ms. Maren, and felt somewhat conflicted.
Hattie had met many Evolved Ones in the White Lotus before, but she had never met someone like Lucas York before.She stared at Lucas, stunned, but noticed his calm demeanor as if nothing had happened.“Senior, do all these zombies heed your orders?” Hattie asked Lucas, looking at him carefully.“What do you think?” Lucas looked at Hattie and asked.Hearing this, Hattie was surprised. She did not know how to answer him. Waves of shock troubled her heart.She truly did not dare to believe it. How could zombies heed someone’s orders? She really could not believe it.“Must you follow me?” Lucas suddenly asked.“Senior, if I don’t follow you, I’ll definitely die.” After saying this, Hattie lowered her head.Lucas sighed inwardly. If she wanted to follow, then let her follow.Lucas walked forward, Hattie following closely behind him.Hatti looked at Lucas’ slightly skinny frame. She did not know why, but a feeling of sweetness sprouted in her heart unexpectedly.In the slightly-f
The system’s affirmative answer made Lucas’s face light up.“System, after merging, what would happen to the Four Heavenly Kings’ abilities?”Lucas was thinking about how these Four Heavenly Kings had Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning abilities. Abilities like this would definitely not be weak after improvement.“Don’t worry. The merged zombie can keep all of its abilities.”Hearing this, Lucas was relieved.Ding…“Please choose the zombies you want to merge.”After a few seconds of silence, Lucas started choosing.He felt it was best to merge Biggy and the Four Heavenly Kings. He would bring up Biggy and Scarlet first.Soon, Biggy, the Four Heavenly Kings, the ax zombie, and a few other male zombies with different levels started merging.The merging started:“10%... 30%... 60%... 100.“Whose appearance would you like to keep?”Lucas did not even have to think. He chose to keep Biggy’s appearance.Ding…“The merging was successful. Biggy has become a Rank 3 Zombie.”Lu
Lucas looked at the Scorpion Guardian’s maniacal smile. His jade-like face ridden with suspicion. “What exactly are you smiling about?”The Scorpion Guardian could not help laughing when he heard this. His somber face became extremely derisive.“Punk, I don’t know what holy drug you gave that woman last time that allowed you to escape. This time, that woman isn’t here. Let’s see if you can survive.”Lucas nodded. The Scorpion Guardian believed that Lucas was a goner.“Sir, how about we run?”Hattie tugged on Lucas’s sleeve; she was incredibly frightened.Lucas did not mind Hattie and looked unconcerned at the Scorpion Guardian instead.“Do you really believe in your own eyes?” Lucas said unhurriedly to the Scorpion Guardian.“Hmph!”The Scorpion Guardian huffed coldly. “Of course I believe my own eyes. You…”Before he finished speaking, the Scorpion Guardian sensed something. He stared at Lucas in disbelief.“Punk, you’ve become a high-level Awakened One?”The Scorpion Gu
The Scorpion Guardian was still a Rank 3 Evolved One and managed to avoid this blow.“As expected of a Rank 3 Zombie. He really is strong!”The Scorpion Guardian stared at Biggy. He had never seen a Rank 3 Zombie before. This was his first time.“Still, that’ll all it is!”After saying this, the Scorpion Guardian lifted his Scorpion Tail Blade high and violently brought it down.“Scorpion Tail Slash!”The Scorpion Guardian shouted loudly. Immediately after, a fearsome slash attack headed toward Biggy.Biggy’s soulless expression did not change at all, and he threw out another fist.This punch had Thunder and Lightning powers added in addition to Earth-Shattering Fist. Its force met the fearsome slash attack like it was breaking bamboo.Boom!With the sound of an explosion, the Thunder and Lightning powers had not been neutralized by the Scorpion Tail Slash and continued hurtling toward the Scorpion Guardian.“What!”The Scorpion Guardian blanched in astonishment. He could s
Lucas ran into a small residential area and darted into a room.Thanks to these twists and turns, the zombies were confounded and started splitting up to look for Lucas.Lucas put Hattie down on the couch, and only then did Hattie release a long breath.“Sir, if not for you, I think I would already be dead,” said Hattie, looking at Lucas.“Do you have any IQ?” Lucas said, glaring at Hattie in displeasure.“I do have IQ, sir. I was always the top scorer in primary school and junior high,” said Hattie sweetly.Lucas was really at a loss for words.He was not prepared to continue talking to Hattie solely because he would be angered to death if they kept talking.After that, Lucas walked to the window and noticed the streets were full of zombies. If he went down now, it definitely would not be a wise move.“Sir, I’m hungry.”Hattie stared at Lucas, a little embarrassed. She was both hungry and thirsty now.Lucas thought, ‘I never owed you anything in my past life, and I’m your s
Lucas was thinking that he definitely could not disclose the secret of the Dragon Slaying Saber. Otherwise, he could be targeted.He did not overthink it and stored the Dragon Slaying Saber in the System Space.“Sir, there are so many zombies now. Why don’t we hide away in Annan Base City?”Lucas shook his head slowly. It was true that there were many zombies outside now, but could he not have a round of guerilla warfare?“You hide here then,” Lucas said while looking at Hatti.“Sir, I can’t go on by myself,” Hattie hastily said to Lucas, afraid he was abandoning her.Lucas let Scarlet out and instructed her to protect Hattie. Then he walked out.Arriving at the bottom of the residential area, there were countless zombies.Lucas glanced around and noticed a narrow passage.This narrow passage was ideal, making it possible for one man to hold out against ten thousand!Spotting this passage, Lucas knew that he had hit the jackpot this time.Without another thought, he let out
Hattie blinked and thoroughly examined Scarlet.“Sir, has Scarlet become prettier?”Hattie thought, ‘How could Scarlet suddenly change in an instant?’“She will become increasingly beautiful,” Lucas explained.Lucas and Hattie spent a long night in the room.The next day, when the sky newly turned light.Ding…“You have received four Zombie Treasure Chests.”Lucas opened the Zombie Treasure Chests with one stroke.“You have received 10 Gene Points, 10 Strength Points, 10 Speed Points, 10 Defense Points, and one crate of food.“You have received 15 Gene Points, 15 Strength Points, 15 Speed Points, 15 Defense Points, and one crate of food.“You have received 30 Gene Points, 30 Strength Points, 30 Speed Points, 30 Defense Points, and three crates of food.You have received 50 Gene Points, 50 Strength Points, 50 Speed Points, 50 Defense Points, five crates of food, and Polar Ice Energy.”“Polar Ice Energy?”Lucas checked Polar Ice Energy’s properties.Polar Ice Energy: Grade
