When he saw the weird arm, Ye Zhongming’s eyes opened wide.
That was because he had seen it several times before he had revived.
Level 2 mutated zombie, Iron Arm!
In his last life, like many other survivors, Ye Zhongming complained that the apocalypse was not fair. One reason was because of the difference between human evolution and that of other life forms.
Although humans could create three-star strengthening potions after a few years and even mutants and super soldiers, but humans couldn’t break away from the gachapon.
Evolution depended on the strengthening potions but that only made your body strong. To obtain special skills, you still had to test your luck.
One could say that human evolution was totally restricted by the gachapon. This thing was their hope but also their chains.
But it wasn’t like that for other forms of life. Their evolution was natural. While they gained stats, they also had their own special abilities.
As compared to the human reliance on the gachapon, the evolution of other life forms made more natural sense.
Some survivors mocked themselves saying that humans were the ones abandoned.
For example, this zombie that just attacked Ye Zhongming. Its body had the physique it had when it was alive and its skin was better than other zombies. It was really strong and it was no weaker than a one star evolved. More terrifying was that it obtained the ability– one hand that was firm as iron!
In the apocalypse, people called this zombie Iron Arm.
One heavy punch could badly injure evolved humans of the same level.
Ye Zhongming didn’t expect that in just a few hours that the apocalypse descended, a zombie would evolve to level two and it would also be such a balanced Iron Arm zombie!
This made him think back to the corpse whose brain was eaten up.
Very obvious that some zombies or animals had found the shortcut to evolving.
Level two zombies had regained some of their intellect from when they were alive. They had a talent for hunting. Who knew where it was hiding and it waited for Ye Zhongming to battle these normal zombies before sneak attacking? That exceeded what low level zombies could do which was act on instinct.
This fast evolution speed gave Ye Zhongming his biggest problem since reviving.
He couldn’t use the blade or the axe to block. He looked as the black arm got close to his spine. At the crucial moment, he used his strength.
He pushed with his legs and used that force to charge forwards like a fish jumping out of the water. While his body flew out, he paused a little in the air before bending his legs and kicking. That hit the body of the zombie which was moving forwards. Not only did it stop its attack, Ye Zhongming used the force to fly forwards even quicker.
The black arm slashed toward his back and he could actually feel the cold wind.
He barely dodged that strike. Ye Zhongming rolled on the ground to get far away and his blade didn’t stop at all. He sliced two of the basic zombies near him and their brains flowed on the ground.
“Si si.”
The Iron Army zombie gave out a snake-like hiss and the level two demonic crystal on its forehead gave off a devilish glow. Its channeled attack didn’t kill the enemy and that filled it with rage. It could even sense that eating this guy’s head would make it improve and grow stronger! This was much better than eating the brains of dozens of humans.
A zombie walked beside the Iron Army zombie. That annoyed level two Iron Army zombie didn’t even care and just waved its black arm to smash its head. White matter splashed onto the wall and it slowly slid down, leaving a trail.
Ye Zhongming heard the movement behind him but he didn’t turn around. He just charged into the normal zombies and killed them quickly.
He knew that the battle against this Iron Arm zombie was unavoidable but before that, he would remove all problems.
The scene was a little weird. Ye Zhongming jumped and rolled and was in the middle of the zombie hoard. The Iron Arm Zombie chased and killed all the other zombies that blocked him. They were actually working together and each killed half of them. Once all the normal zombies had fallen, they faced off.
The Iron Arm zombie bent its back. It realised that this human was different and it felt danger so it expressed more care than the other zombies did.
Ye Zhongming was storing up some strength. To face a level two zombie and ensure that he wasn’t hurt, was a difficult task for him.
Right when both of them were facing off, the people in the room held their breaths. They heard the killing shouts but they couldn’t guess much. The only door was blocked by the tables and no one had the courage to take a peek.
“Did that person who killed many zombies on his own come?” A girl asked weakly. All she could say was what she hoped for the most deep down.
The moment the gun was fired, they thought that hope was here. But through the window, they couldn’t see a uniformed group. There were only two blur figures moving quickly.
Hope dimmed but that healthy and strong body reignited it. Their demands were lowered. They didn’t hope for the police or army to save them, they just hoped that there was someone to save them.
The light in the classroom flickered and one heard a loud explosion from the distance. The ground shook. Before everyone calmed down, the entire classroom, school, city, was in total darkness.
Electricity was gone.
The sudden darkness sent them all into a panic. They screamed as if the high decibels could keep them safe. Many people reacted the same way. Light disappearing caused the last bit of hope in their hearts to disappear too.
When many people recalled the start of the apocalypse, they would say that this moment was when they fully accepted it.
From that moment on, darkness covered the earth.
At that moment, the human and zombie both attacked!
Iron Arm charged while it waved its arm. It looked a little cumbersome but in the corridor, its movement covered the whole region. To hit it, the only way would be to deal with the arm head on.
But before he got strong skills or abilities or a good weapon, the level two zombie’s Iron Arm was invincible.
Ye Zhongming suddenly stopped ten meters away from it. His blade was in his left hand and a black fellow appeared in his right.
