Chapter 70: Level 4

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The wind on the top of the tower was a bit strong.

But for Lu Ming, it was just a gentle breeze, not worth mentioning.

He looked around.

From there, he could see the entire gathering place of Guangping Street, with people bustling about like ants.

There were a lot more people.

Apart from the original survivors, most of them had migrated from the official shelter.

At this moment, the defense system in the gathering place of Guangping Street was set up again. It was even stronger than before—but it was evident that it still could not stop the zombie tide.

In order to resist the zombie tide, defense fortifications were not the main focus. The main focus still lay on the combat strength of the Awakened.

But all things considered, it was better than nothing.

Moreover, there had not been large-scale outbreak of the zombie tide during this period of time, otherwise, Lu Ming would not have to worry about the Tyrant’s crystals.

He looked further into the distance.

He could see that the streets outside were spa.r.s.ely populated by zombies, not forming a significant scale.

According to Huo Sheng’s suggestion, beyond Guangping Street’s gathering place, it was no longer within the safe zone. In other words, this place was the outpost for the survivors to resist the zombies.

Every day, Lu Ming would find time to climb up the observation tower, and he would show no mercy to any zombies that appeared within his field of view.

He could kill them with a slingshot! That was how ruthless he was!

This resulted in the number of zombies nearby to decrease.

However, there were always brainless zombies who would be guided by sound and wander in this direction. In general, there was no shortage of live targets.

Picking up the Tyrant slingshot beside him, Lu Ming pulled back the bowstring and shot. After a scries of crisp sounds, the zombie turned into an exercise in slingshot proficiency. Lu Ming then turned his head to look behind him.

The most eye-catching thing behind him was undoubtedly the tower that appeared when the apocalypse came.

That was the real symbol.

It was also filled with mystery.

It was said that even now, Huo Sheng still did not know what role that tower played and what significance it had.

Not far below the tower was the official shelter.

With the delineation of the safe zone, the military and w.a.n.g Xiong’s group began clearing the zombies within the safe zone.

Lu Ming would also shoot out from time to time to turn zombies into skill proficiency.

A dozen days had pa.s.sed, and it was evident that the cleanup efforts were quite effective.

At least in the safe zone behind, Lu Ming could only see human survivors and military vehicles pa.s.sing by; he couldn’t see any zombies appearing on the streets.

“But we can’t let our guard down!”

After muttering to himself, Lu Ming picked up the sniper rifle.

Holding the gun in a standard position, he aimed. Lu Ming stood tall like an eagle, and the safe zone was his territory.

There was a loud “bang”.

A gunshot rang out.

It was the sound of a sniper rifle.

Bai Tianyu in the military vehicle could see that in a tall building not far away, the gla.s.s on the 18th floor suddenly shattered. Immediately after, a headless zombie fell freely from the sky and crashed onto the desolate street.

Beside him, a young soldier smiled and said, “It must be Brother Lu on duty.”

Another valiant female soldier’s eyes were filled with stars. Nodding her head, she said, “It must be Brother Lu. Only Brother Lu can see so far and shoot so accurately.”

Listening to his subordinates flattering Lu Ming, Bai Tianyu felt a little upset…

Before Lu Ming showed up, these were all his bootlickers.

Why are you guys changing sides now?

It feels like being NTRed…

Clearing his throat, Bai Tianyu regained his composure and said, “Be serious, knowing that Brother Lu is amazing is enough. Even if you praise him, he can’t hear it.”

The young soldiers giggled.

“Colonel Bai, are you jealous?”

“Colonel Bai is also awesome, although a little inferior to Brother Lu…”

“Brother Bai, Brother Bai, have you ever fought with Brother Lu? Do you think you can withstand a few moves in front of Brother Lu…”

Bai Tianyu looked helpless.

These soldiers were all recruited later from among the survivors.

If they were his original soldiers, Bai Tianyu would have punished them by making them run 20 kilometers with the vehicle’s speed…

Amidst the noisy chatter, the three military vehicles stopped at the entrance of Linting Residential District.

Soldiers on duty approached and reported the situation.

Our captain smelled the stench of zombies in this district.”

“The smell is very intense, so our captain suspects that there are high-level zombies here.”

II

Estimated to be a Level 3 Tyrant.”

Hearing the words Level 3 Tyrant, Bai Tianyu narrowed his eyes.

“Where’s your captain?”

II

I’m over here.

II

At the side, a young man in military uniform walked over quickly. Seeing this person, Bai Tianyu asked, “Can you confirm that it’s a Tyrant?”

The Awakened soldier shook his head hesitantly. “I’m not sure, because I’ve never smelled a Tyrant before. However, that stench is much stronger than that of a Hunter.”

The young man’s name was Lin Bai, a Level 1 Awakened, but his awakened ability was quite mediocre, it was an enhancement of his sense of smell.

Speaking of which, Awakened Superpower could vary greatly. Just as there were powerful abilities like Zhang Chengcheng’s, there were also weak abilities like Lin Bai’s.

Back to the main topic.

Lin Bai’s enhanced sense of smell could greatly amplify his sense of smell, allowing him to easily detect the putrid odor of zombies.

Due to his status as an awakened individual and the unique nature of his superpower, Lin Bai’s daily task was to search for zombies in buildings, residential areas, and corners..

This task was important but not too challenging. Once the location of the zombies was determined, Lin Bai could gather other combat teams to eliminate them.

This afternoon, Lin Bai led his team to the Linting Residential District and immediately detected a strong putrid smell upon entering the area.

He quickly reported the situation and Bai Tianyu was directly called in by his superiors—The team led by Bai Tianyu was currently the strongest team in the safe zone.

“Let’s go and take a look.”

Without another word, Bai Tianyu walked straight into the Linting District. Behind him, Bai Tianyu’s team and Lin Bai followed closely.

With Lin Bai leading the way, the group soon arrived at Building No. 3.

“This is it. The source of the stench is here. Other than that, there’s also a very strong smell of blood.”

As Lin Bai spoke, he covered his mouth and nose. The odor in this place made him dizzy.

Seeing this, Bai Tianyu didn’t hesitate and opened the unit door, stepping inside.

As he ascended the stairs, Bai Tianyu loudly proclaimed, “Is anyone there?

We’re from the authorities and we’ve come to search for survivors!

II

Is anyone there?”

The voice echoed through the surroundings.

It was not really to search for survivors. The main purpose was to attract the attention of the zombies with the sound.

Unfortunately, there was no response.

When Bai Tianyu reached the third floor, he abruptly stopped.

Even without Lin Bai, he could smell the b.l.o.o.d.y scent emanating from behind the door.

Even the powerful hearing brought about by his powerful physique allowed Bai Tianyu to faintly hear the intense heartbeat.

“It’s a living person…”

Muttering to himself, Bai Tianyu narrowed his eyes.

Approaching the door, he thought for a moment and then knocked.

“Please open the door. We’re official personnel.

“Open the door, please.”

The survivors inside did not respond.

Bai Tianyu did not waste any time. “I’ll count to three.”

“Three.”

“Two.”

“Click!

II

With both hands, Bai Tianyu forcefully gripped the door frame. Just as he counted to two, he used his strength to pry the security door off completely.

A woman’s cry of surprise came from inside.

Bai Tianyu swung open the security door and focused his gaze. He saw a middle-aged woman looking at him with a panicked expression..
