The area behind the zombie hoard was really weird. Captain Ye who didn’t look like a human and another person looked on from afar. Behind them was a level three Hundred Hand Zombie and also a level three mutated serpent.
“It… It is him…”
The voice was hoarse. Even in the morning with the rising sun, the voice sent chills down one’s spine.
“So.. So del… Delicious.” Captain Ye’s black eyes flashed red and locked onto Ye Zhongming.
“Yi!”
The person beside Captain Ye raised his head and sniffed the air.
“I… I smell… Another… Delicious.”
This monster turned around to look in a direction. On a high building was a person on the roof.
“There… There!”
“You… That…. I… This.”
“Okay!”
Captain Ye interacted with that person. His partner tapped the head of the serpent who had a black horn growing out of its forehead. This level three mutated being respectfully lowered its head to allow the person to jump on its thick body. He held its neck and the serpent slithered towards that tall building.
Captain Ye didn’t bother about his partner and just stared at Ye Zhongming. His mouth spat out words with much difficulty.
“You… You are… Mine.”
A line shaped being twisted beneath his skin.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Ye Zhongming jumped backward to dodge the attack of a level two zombie. He slashed with Moon Edge to slice that zombie into two.
His body was covered in thick zombie blood and it was as if he was dragged out from a blood ocean. But he was a war god. No zombie or mutated lifeform was able to break through and get onto the ruins.
Level two evolved, one that used the modified potion. He even had the white weapon Moon Edge. His strength was far above these zombies and mutated monsters. As long as his stamina was okay, he could continue standing here and fighting them.
But having to fully focus for so long consumed a lot of stamina.
Like running, when you went all out to sprint, maybe you can only last for a dozen seconds. If you last for half a minute, when you stop you will feel weak and your legs will go soft. If you run slowly, you might be able to run for dozens of minutes.
This was the difference. A full strength fight against nonhumans consumed a lot of stamina. Even with adrenaline, normal people couldn’t last for too long.
Evolved were stronger than normal people but there was a limit. Ye Zhongming needed to hold on for half an hour!
This was a huge test of his stamina.
Moreover, he couldn’t finish his stamina within half an hour as there was an uncertain danger nearby and he had to defend against it.
But he still pursed his lips and slashed with Moon Edge. Each blade would have Full Strenght Light to slice the enemies in an area.
“Five more minutes!”
Such a battle, such stamina stunned those above the ruins. Each person including Li Qiang had one thought.
This person was not human.
He really wasn’t human. Even if he was a two star evolved but was he so strong? In such an intense battle, he had to move his body around and raise his shield as well as slash with his weapon. He was able to last for 8 minutes without feeling tired at all!
How was that possible? It was understandable if his slashes slowed down but it didn’t and didn’t show any signs that it would, this…
The survivors were impressed.
Maybe, such a person was the last hope of mankind.
Was Ye Zhongming tired? Of course, he was.
But he held on, as…. Before he reached two star evolved, he obtained another reward from the level two gachapon.
Stat Stone!
It gave him a stat– Fountain of Stamina.
This was a passive skill that surprised Ye Zhongming. He didn’t know that the Stat Stone would give such a thing.
Fountain of Stamina: Double stamina, double stamina recovery.
Ye Zhongming felt like he was going dizzy from bliss after he ate the stone.
In the last life, the evolved he knew that ate the stat stones strengthened base stats like strength, speed, agility, vision, smell, senses etc. Some top quality ones would improve one’s body like strengthening weak points like one’s throat, heart etc. Elemental strengthening would allow one’s elemental skills, summoning, weapons etc to be stronger when used.
But Ye Zhongming didn’t hear of Stat Stones that could change basic stats.
Stamina seemed useless but after you have it you would know that not only it would make you run faster, you would run longer. It couldn’t let you jump higher but you can jump multiple times more.
For example, with the Fountain of Stamina now, Ye Zhongming could stand there and not retreat!
This situation gave everyone hope and it made Captain Ye impatient.
It opened its mouth and its lips started to twitch. The air around started to twist like a sound wave was being sent out.
The zombies and mutated lifeforms got really frustrated and they surged at Ye Zhongming. Among them were many level two mutated lifeforms. They didn’t care about their lives. Even if many died, they wanted to kill this human!
Their attacks came from all around from every angle. They were so strong that even Ye Zhongming was injured. He was scratched and bitten many times!
There were really too many enemies. They turned into a ball made of their own bodies to wrap Ye Zhongming within!
“Boss Ye!”
Li Qiang shouted and looked on in disbelief. He didn’t understand why they would go mad and he didn’t know why so many level two lifeforms would appear, if… They didn’t charge at Ye Zhongming but at them, then….
Li Qiang shuddered and thanked his lucky stars.
“Let’s go!” Li Qiang was the only evolved here and he gave the order to retreat, “Leave it up to the heavens, we tried our best.”
Ye Zhongming was swallowed by the zombies which meant that this defense was over. They could only place their hopes on the explosion to block the entrance.
“Wait, wait a minute.”
A survivor ran but turned his head to look and stopped in shock.
He saw flames seeping out from the ball that was wrapping around Ye Zhongming!
