《I am Picking Up Shards of All Attributes in Apocalypse》 Chapter 1 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio [ the world doesn¡¯t end with a bang, but with a whimper ] The end of the world would come one day. The land was barren, and no one could find any food. Any food became extremely precious. Hades loved photography. He had shot many beautiful scenes before the end of the world, but those scenes turned into Hell on Earth after the end of the world. ¡°Food! Food!¡± The person who said this was the leader of the dormitory building, Bosil. ¡°Why are you all so useless? You can¡¯t find any food at all!¡± Bosil was the captain of the football team. With his strong physique, he took over the dormitory building after the apocalypse and gathered the members of the original football team. The teammates of the football team or other sports clubs were all on duty, guarding the dormitory building while being invaded by zombies. As for weak people like Hades, who only knew how to take photos, they were sent out on dangerous missions to look for food. Bossel was furious because those useless people had not found any food for three days in a row! As a punishment, he chased Hades out of the dormitory building as a warning to others. Hades, who was chased out of the dormitory building, might not even live until tomorrow. This was his punishment for not finding any food! The world outside the dormitory building was very dangerous. The wandering zombies were looking for the last traces of humans. These zombies were not as stupid and slow as in the game. On the contrary, they were very strong. Their speed and strength far exceeded that of ordinary humans! Because of this, it was extremely difficult to find food in the world filled with zombies. Hades wandered outside the dorm, hungry. He swore that he would see everything that could be eaten, because he was too hungry! Food¡­ food¡­ food.. Suddenly, Hades saw a red ball of light shining next to the zombie. It was like a ball of flickering flame, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, and sometimes soft water. Hades wasn¡¯t sure if it could be eaten, but he was too hungry! He subconsciously went over, ignoring the stench of the zombie, wanting to take it out and eat it. Being chased out of the dorm, he might as well die like this. Since he was going to die, he might as well eat until he was full. But when Hades picked up the ball of light, the ball disappeared. A synthetic electronic voice suddenly appeared in his mind: ¡°Congratulations, host, you have obtained an attribute system. The attribute has been successfully acquired. Strength + 1.¡± ¡°Attribute panel opened: Hades: Mortal Strength: 3 + 1 Agility: 2 Vitality: 4 Intelligence: 9 Perception: 5 Charm: 6.¡± ¡°The average status of the attributes is 10.¡± This voice that directly entered Hades¡¯ mind made him excited. He was so happy that he cried. ¡°System! I have finally obtained the system! I will become the Lord of the apocalypse, the king of the world!¡± Other than photography, Hades also loved reading novels. He knew what this meant. Ever since he had obtained the system, his world had changed. It was completely different. He could see countless light balls appearing beside him. The attributes of those light balls, they would all help him become stronger. As long as he was strong enough, he wouldn¡¯t have to fear the apocalypse! ¡°Power! More power!¡± ¡°Food! Is there any food?¡± He shouted like in the movie Shawshank Redemption, but the system did not respond. His shout reached the dormitory building. On the floor, a group of people mocked him mercilessly. ¡°Is this trash crazy?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it too cruel to chase him away?¡± ¡°This world is like this. The weak are prey to the strong. Trash should not live!¡± Hades ignored the voices. He knew that he had to walk his own path. Even though the system did not give him anything else, it was enough! Hades realized that there were different colors and sizes of light balls beside the corpses of the zombies. They should be corresponding to different attributes. As long as he picked one up, he would be able to add attributes. After being chased out of the dorm, this was the only way for Hades. He had to keep getting stronger so that he could survive in this cruel world! But now, he was still very weak and needed food to recover. If he was found by a living zombie, he would definitely be eaten by the zombie. He didn¡¯t want to become the Zombie¡¯s food. Run! He had to run! He couldn¡¯t be caught by the zombie. While running, Hades picked up the attribute balls on the ground. As long as any part of his body touched these attribute balls, they would quickly merge into Hades¡¯ body. Then came the system¡¯s notification: ¡°Strength + 4, agility + 6, Vitality + 3, intelligence + 1, Perception + 2, Charm + 1¡­¡± The sound of attributes increasing continuously appeared in Hades¡¯ mind, and his body also showed obvious changes. The muscles on his arms and legs, which hadn¡¯t been there before, faintly appeared, and his speed became faster and faster. ¡°What is that guy doing! How can he run so fast! This is impossible!¡± The people in the dormitory building exclaimed as they watched, feeling incredulous. ¡°Come and see, Bossel!¡± Bossel also saw Hades, and he turned furious. ¡°That guy must have hidden some food! He lied to us! If he dares to appear in front of me again, I will definitely let him know the price of lying!¡± ¡°Traitor!¡± ¡°Liar!¡± One after another, accusations came from the building. But as Hades got further and further away, the sound faded behind him. While he was picking up those attribute balls, some zombies were also alarmed. They smelled the scent of the living and rushed toward Hades without caring about anything else. The speed of the zombies was not weak at all. They were almost as fast as professional track and field athletes, ¡°Battle begins! Battle Power Analysis ¨C¡± Hades¡¯s attribute panel appeared again, but this time it was completely different. ¡°Hades (mortal) Strength: 36 Agility: 27 Vitality: 18 Intelligence: 25 Perception: 50 Charm: 20.¡± This attribute had already made him far better than ordinary people. At this moment, he felt that nothing could stop him! ¡°Get lost!¡± Hades roared and kicked the zombies away. The skeletons of the zombies were immediately torn apart. The zombies that followed were still lunging at him unconsciously. However, they were also smashed into pieces by the kick, and the red light ball that fell was even more dazzling. ¡°Agility + 10.¡± The strength of this zombie was far greater than that of the zombies that had already died. Perhaps the attributes of the zombies that he killed with his own hands would be more, or perhaps the attributes of the zombies that died would gradually decrease. However, no matter what, what he needed now was food. Ignoring the other zombies, he began to run faster. With the ten points of agility from before, he quickly ran to the school¡¯s supermarket. As soon as he entered the supermarket, he immediately pushed the shelves and heavy objects to the door and blocked the zombies from entering. After making sure that no zombies had entered, he could no longer hold back his hunger. He picked up the bread, sausage, and cooked meat and gulped them down. While drinking a large can of coke, he finally swept away the hunger of the past few days. At that moment, he noticed that there seemed to be signs of defense in the supermarket. It was possible that someone had already been here. There were also zombie remains and some dried blood stains on the ground. He became more careful. However, after walking around for a bit, he only saw a half-dead zombie in a corner of the supermarket. However, it was still tenaciously crawling to an unknown place. The crippled zombie was not a threat to him. Hades felt relieved and continued to look for food to satisfy his hunger. Hades wanted to eat as much as possible. It was best to eat all the food that could not be preserved for a long time so that it would not be wasted. ¡°Agh.¡± Hades burped. He was finally full. His eyes turned to the dormitory building. Since he was full, it was time to think about revenge. Chapter 2 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Bossel chased Hades out of the dormitory, which was no different from killing him. If Hades didn¡¯t have the system, he would have been a piece of meat in the zombie¡¯s stomach. He had to take revenge. But he wasn¡¯t in a hurry to find those people. Instead, he came to the crippled zombie. He didn¡¯t know who this zombie was. But since it had become a zombie, it had to be completely destroyed. Hades easily lifted the dumbbell and smashed down on the zombie¡¯s head. The withered skull immediately shattered into pieces. Black blood splattered everywhere, even on his body. He suddenly felt a little nauseous. He couldn¡¯t help but spit out some of the food he had just eaten. But even though it was disgusting, he knew that he had to overcome this fear. He couldn¡¯t be afraid! He had to kill more zombies! Even those who would threaten his own kind. The future! No, at this moment, he had to be as hard as iron! Hades turned his head and looked at the smashed corpse of the zombie. ¡°This is?¡± When Hades looked at the zombie, he suddenly found a surprise. Besides the attribute light ball, the zombie also dropped a small red packet, which was also emitting a red light. ¡°Agility + 3!¡± ¡°Red Packet + 1!¡± The system¡¯s notification clearly told him that this was a red packet! This was really unexpected. He was also curious about what was in the system¡¯s red packet. ¡°Open the red packet!¡± Immediately, Hades gave an order. As he gave the order, the red packet was opened and a red pill floated out from the red packet. ¡°Strength pill. After eating it, your strength will be doubled.¡± This was an extremely shocking effect. One had to know that Hades¡¯s strength attribute was now as high as 36. He could easily move anything in the supermarket. As long as he wanted to, he could even open the iron door. And double strength, who knew how terrifying his strength would be! And the higher the attribute, the more double strength would increase. Whether he ate it now or in the future, it was very effective. He got this pill. For a time, Hades was more confident in surviving the apocalypse. Hades found the biggest hiking bag in the supermarket. He brought along canned food, preserved food, water, milk, sausages, bread, and other foods that had a long shelf life. He was prepared for everything. Although there was some food here, there would be a day when they would run out of it. There weren¡¯t many zombies in the school at the moment. If other students came, they would soon run out of food. Although Hades had the help of the system, if the other party had guns and weapons, he might not be able to withstand it. It was better to be cautious. Hades thought that he had to find a more suitable place. And he had to go further. Killing zombies and obtaining attribute points would allow him to continue becoming stronger. Therefore, the things Hades chose were basically food with a long shelf life. He didn¡¯t take any drinks, tobacco, or alcohol, just water, food, and basic clothes. Survival came first. But when Hades finally saw a camera that he had been wanting to buy for a long time, he couldn¡¯t help but grab it and take some pictures of the supermarket. Maybe it was a form of nostalgia. Even though the world was already in tatters, he wanted to leave more of the world as it was before. The photos might be a way of remembering. He tried to take pictures of places that were not destroyed and left some mementos. In the process of taking the photos, he also found some weapons-like items in the shop. Shovels, hammers, axes, they were all gone. It seemed that someone had come. But they came and went in a hurry. They only took food and weapons. Hades had only found a knife to cut fruit. Although it was not very lethal, it was better to have a weapon than nothing. But when he was ready to leave, there was already a group of zombies outside the door that had been blocked by the supermarket. They might have been attracted by the movement that he had just made. At the same time, in the dormitory building just now. Bossel had already equipped all the protective equipment of the football team and had taken the football club. Even though he had chased Hades away, he was still unable to solve the food problem. As the leader of these students, he made a decision. Everyone went out to look for food. ¡°We have two goals.¡± ¡°One, to find food.¡± ¡°Two, to find a way out where there are fewer zombies.¡± ¡°Understood!¡± The football club members shouted in unison. They were all elite football club members. All of them were two-meter-tall burly men. ¡°The first place we are going to is the canteen. There must be enough food there. If we stay here, we will only wait for death! So we have to rush out.¡± ¡°Yes! Captain!¡± The football players were all equipped. They answered confidently. ¡°Yes¡­¡± Some ordinary students did not have the confidence, but at this moment, they were tied to the same chariot. They had no choice. ¡°Charge!¡± Under Bossel¡¯s lead, everyone followed him out of the dormitory building. As soon as they rushed out of the dormitory building, the zombies in the flower bed jumped out and a total of six zombies pounced on them. At the first sight of the zombies, even Bossel felt a little scared. However, they were fully armed and had football clubs in their hands. Bossel felt that as the captain, he couldn¡¯t be timid at this moment. He roared and rushed to fight the zombies! Chapter 3 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Chaos, Extreme Chaos! After all the students left the dormitory building, they attracted a large number of zombies. Those students who were usually from the sports department could defeat zombies by relying on their physical fitness and some of the weapons and equipment they had looted. However, some ordinary students were in a terrible situation. They were at a loss when they saw zombies. Without any weapons or protection, they started to run in all directions. Some students started to run, and even more people started to run. Facing the terrifying zombies, ordinary people couldn¡¯t face them easily. Some girls even screamed in fear, which attracted more zombies. ¡°Go, go, Go!¡± Bossel shouted to his teammates, ¡°Ignore them! Let¡¯s go to the cafeteria!¡± At this moment, some smart people also understood that Bossel was using some useless students as bait to attract the attention of zombies, while he himself used his excellent equipment to rush to the cafeteria. After understanding this point, his teammates pulled their girlfriends and rushed to the cafeteria together. The chaotic scene here almost attracted the attention of the entire school. Hades, who was in the supermarket, also noticed the movement on the playground outside. With his current intelligence attribute, he understood Bossel¡¯s true intention at a glance. He couldn¡¯t be more furious at this guy¡¯s cruelty. He didn¡¯t regard the lives of ordinary people as his own. In order to survive, he sacrificed the weak. Hades was trapped in the supermarket and couldn¡¯t get out. Otherwise, he would have killed Bossel himself. The reason he couldn¡¯t get out was that there was a group of zombies in front of the supermarket. If he opened the door rashly, he would be torn apart by the countless zombies that rushed in. Although he could easily kill one or two zombies, Hades wasn¡¯t confident that he could face a group of zombies. After these zombies formed a group, they would charge forward without any reason. Perhaps only a tank would dare to crush them. He could only try to think of another way. He walked to the entrance of the supermarket and slightly opened a small crack. However, the door was locked from the inside, ensuring that the zombies wouldn¡¯t be able to enter. The zombie was stuck outside the door. Hades raised the knife in his hand and stabbed at the zombie¡¯s throat! ¡°Poof!¡± With his strength, he instantly pierced through the zombie¡¯s throat. The zombie only struggled for a while before falling down. Then, the next zombie completely ignored the zombie¡¯s body and stepped on it to come to the door again. Weren¡¯t they just rushing over to be killed off one by one? Hades felt that he was right. These zombies had no intelligence at all. The previous zombie had fallen down, but they would still come forward. From the angle of the door, he could stab the zombies to death one by one! He could kill a large number of zombies effortlessly. He stabbed the zombie¡¯s throat again and again, so times that he lost count. Even the bayonet became dull. Fortunately, Hades was strong enough to stab the zombies. Every time he killed a zombie, the zombies would drop an attribute ball. However, those attribute balls were outside the door, so he couldn¡¯t pick them up. However, it didn¡¯t matter. As long as he killed enough zombies, all the zombies outside would be killed sooner or later. About half an hour later, Hades had killed countless zombies. The zombies outside didn¡¯t come any closer. They were probably all dead. At that moment, Hades pushed open the door and looked outside. Outside the supermarket, there were zombie bodies everywhere. If someone saw this scene, they would suspect that someone had used a machine gun to scan the area. However, these zombies were all slowly stabbed to death by Hades. However, Hades was more concerned about the piles of attribute balls on the ground, even though they were all very small. Hades picked up one and only added 0.1. He didn¡¯t know if it was because of time or some other reason, but at first glance, there were more than 100 of them. The number of attribute balls added together was quite considerable. When Hades picked up all the attribute balls, his attributes also became very luxurious. ¡°Hades (mortal) Strength: 73 Agility: 52 Vitality: 39 Intelligence: 46 Perception: 75 Charm: 35 Weapon: small bayonet Item: Strength Pill.¡± His current attributes were probably much stronger than professional soldiers, and his running speed far surpassed any sports champion. What was even more surprising was that besides the attribute ball, there was another red envelope and a bronze treasure chest. A bronze treasure chest should be more generous than a red envelope! Hades immediately opened the red envelope. An ancient-looking book appeared in front of him ¡ª Poluo blade technique! Seeing that it was a blade technique, Hades was very excited. However, he did not have any foundation in blade techniques, so he did not know if he could learn it. Unexpectedly, as soon as Hades flipped open the book, the book turned into a stream of light. In an instant, countless saber shadows appeared in front of Hades. These saber shadows reflected in Hades¡¯s eyes, and then, all of them drilled into Hades¡¯s mind. It seemed as if he had been practicing this saber technique since he was young, and every move and every move was memorized in his heart. He unconsciously swung the bayonet in his hand, and it easily cut through a big tree. It must be known that this knife was so dull that even with his strength, it should have been broken. However, this knife technique gave Hades an epiphany, allowing him to more clearly understand how to use his strength! Too strong! He was extremely excited and couldn¡¯t wait to open the bronze treasure chest. ¡®Tiger Tooth Blade.¡¯ Description: The Power of the blade is like the roar of a tiger Effect: strength + 10 critical hit + 15 When a critical hit appears, it can stun the enemy for 1 second. The Treasure Chest gave him a weapon that perfectly matched his needs. This way, no matter how many zombies came, Hades felt that he could deal with them easily. Chapter 4 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Hades felt the newly obtained tiger tooth knife as if he was touching the back of a fierce tiger. The back of the knife had the teeth of a tiger. It was very effective in both cutting zombies and sawing things. This was much more effective than the small bayonet. At least Hades had the ability to protect himself on campus. He wanted revenge, and he definitely could not forgive Bossel. Not only because he had driven him away, but because he had sacrificed others so that he could escape. Hades felt that he had to get rid of this bully. In this apocalypse, if such a person could not be stopped in time, who knew what cruel things he would do in the future? Perhaps after the apocalypse, the previous laws could no longer restrain people. But Hades still wanted to maintain the most basic kindness in the depths of his heart. If people didn¡¯t have kindness, what was the difference between humans and zombies or beasts? This was a cruel world, but it wasn¡¯t a world where people ate people. If this was God¡¯s punishment, turning the human world into Hell, he also wanted to find his own light in hell. Since the apocalypse came, many students had been besieged all over the campus, and Hades could vaguely hear the cries of others for help. The dormitory building was only one of the gathering points. It was occupied by Bossel, who ruled the students cruelly because no one was as strong as him. He also had a football team, which was like his personal guard, and he himself became the brutal king. But he was definitely not a good king. He would only let others sacrifice themselves, so he could enjoy the food of others in peace. However, the food would eventually run out, so everyone had no choice but to look for more food. Whether it was in the dormitories or the students hiding in other corners of the campus, they would slowly leave their hiding places to look for food and fight against zombies due to the lack of food. There were also some zombie corpses in every corner of the campus, and some attribute balls dropped beside them. Hades picked them up one by one. ¡°Strength + 2.¡± ¡°Agility + 1.¡± ¡°Intelligence + 0.5.¡± These tiny light balls only had a small amount of attributes. It seemed that as time passed, the attributes dropped would slowly decrease. It seemed that after killing the zombies, one had to pick up the attribute balls in time so that the attributes won¡¯t be lost. Those dead zombies also meant that some students had already rushed out, possibly leaving the campus. But most of the students were still food for the zombies. The rest of the students were probably hiding somewhere or gathered together. Hades couldn¡¯t let Bossel continue like this. He had to follow him. The direction they rushed out of should be the cafeteria. There must be enough food there. Food was everything now. Hades followed the cafeteria and saw a lot of zombie corpses along the way. They were all members of the football team, so their physical strength was much better than ordinary students. They had killed more than thirty zombies along the way. The attribute balls were scattered all over the ground. Hades also picked up those dropped attribute balls. Although the increase in attributes was not much, it was still an improvement. Hades would not refuse. But as he continued tracking, three zombies suddenly came out of the school building. These zombies were all wearing suits and ties, but their faces had become very scary. A large part of their skin was damaged, and their noses and eyes were covered in black blood. They might have been teachers when they were alive, but after they died, they became zombies. They quickly pounced on Hades. They didn¡¯t have the same bearing as their teacher and only wanted to rip Hades to pieces. Hades was no longer as weak and hungry as before. Now, his attributes made him extremely confident. In addition, he had just obtained the Tiger Fang knife and Poluo knife technique, so he could use them to test his knife skills. Hades took out the Tiger Fang knife from the system and calmly looked at the three zombies. He took a deep breath and raised his strength to wave the blade. ¡°Poluo Blade Technique!¡± Hades shouted the name of the blade technique. He wanted to say that the expert who had practiced the Japanese blade technique for countless years was unbelievably fast. The zombies were cut into pieces Even Hades himself was shocked by this scene. He didn¡¯t expect that the saber technique could be so powerful. A few hours ago, he was still worried about his survival, because he was scared that he would be kicked out of the dorm. Now, he had a life-saving weapon and a system that could pick up attributes. Ordinary small zombies were no longer his opponent. However, he also realized that the Poluo Saber technique was only a small-scale saber technique, It was very powerful within a certain range. If he was facing a large-scale zombie, he would still have to go around it. If he encountered a zombie tide, the zombies would rush at him like a tide. He couldn¡¯t stop them with only cold weapons and no guns. In the current situation, he could only protect himself, so he had to be careful. All he wanted was to take revenge and continue to become stronger. After the zombies were killed, they dropped three light balls and one Red Packet. Red Packet! Hades was very happy. He wasn¡¯t eager to increase his attributes, because the higher his attributes were, the less his attributes would increase. Like now, it would only increase by one or two points. However, Hades really looked forward to what would drop from the Red Packet. ¡°Activate the Red Packet!¡± ¡°Acquired skilled driving skills: raise the driving skills to the level of an expert, as well as a simple grasp of vehicle maintenance.¡± After the system notification appeared, it was as if a lock had been unlocked in his brain, and he immediately grasped driving skills. He had yet to learn how to drive, nor did he have a driver¡¯s license. Now, the system allowed him to learn how to drive. And in the apocalypse, he no longer needed a driver¡¯s license. Hades was confident that he could easily find a car and drive it. Even if it was a professional racing car, Hades could still drive it skillfully. Was this the system? It could directly save time for learning and allow a person to directly master a certain skill. Whether it was Poluo Knife Technique, or car driving and maintenance. Even if one had never come into contact with it before, one was able to learn it immediately. Hades was increasingly looking forward to what magical abilities he would be able to unlock in the future! Chapter 5 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Hades quickly calmed down. Now was not the time to be complacent. The apocalypse was still full of dangers. What he needed the most now was to continue getting stronger! But before he left the campus, he had to get rid of Bossel. He followed the trail of Bossel¡¯s group. They had already entered the cafeteria, and a large number of zombies were attracted behind them. They had abandoned almost half of the people before entering the cafeteria, and those who had been abandoned had become zombies¡¯ food. These people had also attracted hundreds of zombies to gather in front of the cafeteria, but they had also blocked the cafeteria door, so the zombies couldn¡¯t enter. Because the zombies blocked the cafeteria door, Hades couldn¡¯t enter the cafeteria for the time being. He didn¡¯t have the ability to kill so many zombies at once. Hades knew that he was only a mortal. Even if he could kill more than ten zombies at once, more zombies would pounce on him in an instant. As soon as he was bitten by a zombie, he might turn into a zombie. He couldn¡¯t get hurt. That was why he didn¡¯t dare to bet that he wouldn¡¯t get hurt. It was almost dark. Hades could only let them go for now and look for other opportunities. There was a teaching building not far from the cafeteria. Hades thought that he should hide in the building first. At night, the zombies would become even crazier. Some of the electrical circuits in the campus had been cut off. At night, the entire campus was pitch-black. Hades didn¡¯t have dark vision yet, so it would be extremely dangerous at night. He didn¡¯t dare to take the risk and still went to hunt zombies at night. He could only retreat to the teaching building where there were fewer zombies and search for other survivors. Before Hades reached the teaching building, he heard someone shouting from the window on the second floor of the teaching building, ¡°Stop! Stop!¡± Some of the senior students were holding crossbows in their hands. It seemed that they were used to deal with zombies. But at this moment, they were aiming at Hades. ¡°I¡¯m a student. I came from the dormitory building. I want to hide in the building for a night!¡± Hades said. ¡°We don¡¯t welcome new students here! Go somewhere else, or I¡¯ll shoot!¡± ¡°Why? We¡¯re all students of this school!¡± Hades couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°The zombie virus is contagious. Who knows if you have the zombie virus! We can¡¯t trust you, so we can only ask you to leave!¡± Hades also knew that if he was bitten by a zombie, he would definitely be infected. The zombie¡¯s blood also had the virus, but as long as it didn¡¯t infect his wound, he would be fine. Hades looked at himself. Part of his clothes were stained with the black blood of zombies. It was no wonder that the people in the school building didn¡¯t trust him. No one was willing to let a person who might become a zombie into their territory. With Hades¡¯s current strength, he could force his way in, but there might be traps inside, so he couldn¡¯t gain their trust. If he couldn¡¯t be trusted, he might not even be able to sleep at night. ¡°I¡¯m not infected. I killed some zombies,¡± Hades took out his knife and said, ¡°I can help you. I have food too.¡± Hades took out his backpack and opened it. It was full of canned bread and mineral water. Seeing the food, the students were also tempted. It could be seen that they were very nervous about food. There were zombies outside. If they only stayed in one place, the food would be eaten up sooner or later. Some of them seemed to be discussing, but were also very hesitant. After about ten minutes, someone shouted to hades, ¡°If you can do us a favor, we can let you in.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Our teacher took some people to the cafeteria to look for food. But for some reason, a group of zombies gathered outside the cafeteria. ¡°Can you think of a way to bring the teachers back? ¡°If you can successfully bring the teachers back to the school building, we will open the door for you.¡± ¡°Is Julia in the cafeteria?¡± Hades suddenly mentioned a name. This name had an extraordinary meaning to Hades. Only she would stand up and help Hades when other senior students bullied him. So Hades always remembered Julia. Sometimes he would secretly take pictures of Julia. In his eyes, Julia was so beautiful. The only picture Hades ever taken that won a photography award was of Julia. She didn¡¯t know who took the pictures of her, but when Julia¡¯s picture appeared on the cover of a magazine, Julia was happy. At that time, Hades was also happy, but he only peeked at it secretly and never dared to express his feelings. ¡°She is also in the cafeteria.¡± After getting an affirmative answer from the students, Hades turned around without any hesitation and headed toward the cafeteria. On the way, several zombies rushed out. These zombies looked like dead students, and their flesh was beginning to rot. They seemed to be shouting something, but their vocal cords were gone, and only the sound of the wind like a ghost could be heard. Hades didn¡¯t dare to be careless, so he raised his saber and rushed forward again. Now, his running speed was far faster than those zombies. With his weapon and saber skills, he was more confident. From hiding to taking the initiative to attack, he had improved a lot. His saber easily cut off the arms of the zombies, but those zombies didn¡¯t feel any pain. Even if they lost an arm, they would still attack Hades. They were more ferocious than wild beasts. The army of the undead seemed to be taking revenge on the living, dragging the living into hell without caring about anything else! However, Hades was different now. He was fearless in the face of the zombies. He swung his blade left and right, and the sangs fell one after another. Attribute balls fell on their bodies. ¡°Perception + 5.¡± ¡°Vitality + 3.¡± Hades picked up the attribute balls, and the attributes changed again. ¡°Hades (mortal) Strength: 80 Agility: 57 Vitality: 42 Intelligence: 54 Perception: 83 Charm: 44 Weapon: Tiger Tooth Blade Critical rate: 10% Item: Strength Pill.¡± Chapter 6 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The front of the cafeteria was already crowded with zombies. It was a stupid idea to break through from the front. Hades remembered that the cafeteria didn¡¯t only have one door. There should be other doors that could let him in. However, the cafeteria was surrounded by zombies now. If he wanted to find another intersection, he had to be extra careful and avoid those zombies¡¯ tracking. After coming into contact with zombies, he could roughly guess their habits. Normally, zombies could only see vaguely. If their eyeballs fell out, they would lose their vision completely. However, that didn¡¯t matter to zombies. Their main tracking information was their sense of smell. They could smell the faint scent of blood. If someone had a wound, they would soon attract a group of zombies. The zombies would also be attracted by some sharp sounds, such as the sound of bells and gunshots. In short, although the zombies were already dead, their bodily functions were still functioning. Perhaps due to the influence of the virus, these bodily skills had been strengthened. They were more sensitive than when they were alive. Moreover, they did not know pain, making zombies the strongest warriors. This made Hades think of the Persian Empire¡¯s immortal army in history. The army that claimed to be immortal would soon be like these zombies that were already dead but had come back to life? The origin of these zombies was also an unknown mystery. If there was a chance, he had to investigate it clearly. The most likely possibility was that the military had developed some kind of biological weapon that caused the mutation. However, all of this was just a guess. From the outbreak of the doomsday virus until now, Hades had not seen the actions of the army. He did not know if the army was also infected and paralyzed, or if there was another reason? No matter what the truth was. Now, Hades needed to find a way to enter the cafeteria. Hades quietly bent his back and did not dare to breathe easily. He circled the cafeteria and observed the surroundings. He did not dare to get too close to the zombies, nor did he dare to get too far. After searching for about thirty minutes outside, he finally saw a van parked in front of a door that was also open. There were also some food containers scattered outside. It seemed that the truck was delivering food to the school. When it encountered the outbreak of the virus, it stopped outside. There were seven or eight zombies around. Judging from the clothes, they should be porters, drivers, and some students who had turned into zombies. They were wandering around the truck. It didn¡¯t look like they could enter easily, but compared to the hundreds of zombies in front of the cafeteria, it was still much easier. So, he would use this place as a breakthrough point! After making up his mind, Hades rushed out quickly. The tiger tooth blade in his hand was ready to be used. With his current speed, the zombies in front of him didn¡¯t even have time to react before their heads were cut off! This also quickly attracted the attention of the other zombies. They all rushed toward Hades. Hades held the tiger tooth blade tightly. He dodged the Zombies¡¯attacks at an extremely fast speed while slashing at the zombies that were rushing toward him. With the Hades¡¯s strength, it would not be difficult for him to kill the zombies. However, if he wanted to kill the zombies while not getting injured, he needed to be even more careful. He did not want to be injured by the zombies and turned into one because of his carelessness. Wouldn¡¯t all his previous efforts be wasted? Hades also wanted to save Julia and take revenge on Bossel, who had chased him out of the dorm. As long as he had this attribute system, he would continue to become stronger, and he would definitely surpass everyone else. Although Hades¡¯s attributes were close to 100, he was only a lot stronger than ordinary people. Compared to stronger people, these attributes were far from enough. The zombies on campus could be killed even if ordinary students worked together. However, there were too many zombies, and the students were fighting on their own. This school needed a real leader to lead everyone out. Such a person couldn¡¯t be Bossel. And the outside of the school also meant more danger. Would the zombies continue to evolve, and where would the future of the ordinary people be? Hades didn¡¯t know either. He could only do his best! He didn¡¯t fight the zombies head-on. Instead, he fought while retreating. He circled around the truck and dodged most of the Zombies¡¯ attacks. The first thing he did was to use all his strength to defeat one zombie, then the second, third, and fourth.. With the bonus of his attributes, his stamina had increased a lot. He could run for one or two hours without any problem. His speed also determined that these zombies couldn¡¯t easily attack Hades. As long as he was careful enough, he could defeat the zombies here without any injuries. Hades was very patient and didn¡¯t let his guard down. He gradually killed all the zombies here. Many attribute balls also dropped on the ground. He picked them up: ¡°Strength + 10!¡± ¡°Agility + 12!¡± ¡°Vitality + 15!¡± ¡°I got a red packet!¡± Another pleasant surprise. Hades felt that he had gained a lot this time, so he opened the red packet again. ¡°Space-splitting slash! Gather all your strength and store it for a period of time. It will burst out with great power and cause large-scale damage!¡± Hades¡¯s eyes lit up. Space-splitting slash could cause large-scale damage, which solved his problem of not being able to deal with a large number of zombies. However, he didn¡¯t know how long it would take for him to accumulate power. If he needed to accumulate power for a long time, the zombies would charge at him before he could finish. It wouldn¡¯t be of much use. He still needed to practice before he could use this skill. However, now was not the best time to practice. He still needed to go into the cafeteria to look for Julia. Hades didn¡¯t rush into the cafeteria. Instead, he checked the truck. The keys were still there, there were no zombies inside, and the fuel was still full. If he needed this truck, it should be able to start at any time. After checking everything, Hades pushed open the small door to deliver the goods. However, he didn¡¯t dare to be careless. He wasn¡¯t sure if there were zombies in the cafeteria, so he cautiously continued to move forward. Chapter 7 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio There was a kitchen inside, but strangely, there were no zombies. But it didn¡¯t look like anyone had come in, which was really strange. There seemed to be some kind of terrifying aura that prevented the zombies from entering. Because Hades¡¯s attributes had increased, his senses were sharper. He could feel that this kitchen was unusual. However, other than danger, there seemed to be some other treasure hidden ahead. This was also Hades¡¯s intuition. He followed the path of the kitchen and as expected, he found a treasure chest ahead! ¡°Bronze treasure chest found!¡± The system¡¯s notification voice told him that this treasure chest really belonged to him. ¡°Open the treasure chest!¡± Hades ordered the system. ¡°Treasure chest open. You have obtained the fire-patterned dagger.¡± A dagger with a fire-pattern appeared in Hades¡¯s hands. This was a short weapon. Although it was not as powerful as the Tiger Tooth Blade, it could be hidden very well. Hades hid the fire-patterned dagger at the bottom of his pants. This might be his trump card. Hades¡¯current attributes: [ Hades (mortal)] [ strength: 102] [ agility: 79] [ vitality: 63] [ intelligence: 70] [ perception: 98] [ charm: 69] [ weapon: Saber Tooth Blade, Fire-Patterned Dagger ] [ critical rate: 10% ] [ Item: Strength Pill ] Hades¡¯strength had already exceeded 100 points. He felt that his entire body had undergone a special transformation. He might even be able to lift a car. It seemed that apart from the rewards from defeating zombies, he would also encounter treasure chests that would randomly appear in other places. This was truly an adventure, and Hades was enjoying it more and more. He was like a protagonist in novels and games, defeating enemies, obtaining treasure chests and rewards, and then saving the world. This wasn¡¯t empty talk, as long as he could get more attributes and rewards. Sooner or later, Hades might become the savior of the apocalypse. But before he became the savior, Hades wanted to make sure he could survive. He didn¡¯t dare to take risks, so he had to carefully explore the potential dangers. As he walked, he found a pool of green liquid on the ground. The liquid was foaming from time to time, and it looked very disgusting. Hades felt a pungent smell, and the green liquid looked very dangerous. Hades covered his nose. The smell was repelling, but the liquid blocked the door from the kitchen into the cafeteria. Hades couldn¡¯t get through the poisonous liquid into the cafeteria, which became his problem. He didn¡¯t know what to do. While he was hesitating, a few zombies ran out of the kitchen cabinet. They were different from the ordinary zombies. They had green mucus on their bodies. They shot out the mucus to attack Hades. Thanks to Hades¡¯s perception and agility, he could react quickly. The mucus didn¡¯t hit him, but flew to the boiler behind him. After the iron boiler was contaminated by the mucus, it was corroded. If the mucus was contaminated on a person¡¯s body, one could imagine that it would corrode his face and bones. This was too terrifying! Hades was a little afraid. This was not only because of the power of the mucus, but also because these zombies were completely different from those heavy zombies that only knew how to bite. They seemed to have evolved. Zombies had the ability to attack from a distance, just like archers in ancient wars. This was a huge threat to the enemy. Hades did not dare to act rashly. He could not guarantee that he could avoid the zombie¡¯s venom every time. He had to retreat. He had to have better protection to challenge them. Hades relied on his running speed to return to the original path. He left the kitchen and returned to the front of the truck. Although he could not pass through the door, Hades did not intend to give up. Hades got into the truck, turned the key, and stepped on the accelerator. The truck¡¯s performance was still very good. The engine exploded with a strong sound. The sound of the truck¡¯s engine attracted the attention of the zombies. Those zombies who were at the entrance of the cafeteria also rushed over. Hades saw those zombies and did not hesitate to crash into them. The zombies were knocked away by the truck. They were already dead, and didn¡¯t know pain or fatigue. They didn¡¯t know how to dodge the impact of the truck. The Zombies¡¯ bodies were still normal. As long as their hearts and heads were destroyed, they would die, and it would be hard for them to move once their bones were broken. The truck was an absolutely effective weapon! He had to rush out! The driving skills he had learned previously were effective at this moment. He could control the truck perfectly and rampage. The zombies were as weak as paper in front of the truck. He kept bumping into the zombies that were chasing him and avoided the obstacles on the road. He didn¡¯t hit the wall. After a few drifts, he knocked away a group of zombies perfectly. His driving skills were excellent enough! The day before, Hades was a person who didn¡¯t even have a driver¡¯s license. Now, he could skillfully drive the truck. It was all because of the system that he became an experienced driver. Hades walked around the cafeteria a few times and decided to clean up the zombies nearby. Fortunately, the truck was sturdy enough and had enough fuel. Hades kept knocking away zombies one after another. The sky gradually turned dark. The students in the school building saw his actions. Their eyes were filled with amazement and admiration. There was actually someone who could do such a thing! Some people might have thought of using the van to hit the zombies, but no one dared to leave the protection of the school building to do so. Seeing Hades¡¯s driving skills, many people whistled and cheered for him. ¡°Destroy hose b*stard zombies!¡± ¡°Charge! Hit them and send them flying!¡± ¡°He can definitely save us!¡± ¡°No! He will still die, Hahaha!¡± Some people encouraged him, while others mocked him in despair. Hades, who was in the car, could not hear any of this. All he could see were the zombies that were constantly rushing towards him. He could not stop, and could only continue to crash into them until he killed them all! Only then could he enter the canteen! To save Julia. Chapter 8 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Hades knocked away countless zombies, and the ground was littered with light balls. Those were all attributes, but Hades didn¡¯t dare to get out of the car to pick them up. Although the car could kill a lot of zombies, it still couldn¡¯t kill all the zombies in the campus. As he drove the truck, more and more zombies gathered. The speed at which he knocked down the zombies was about the same as the speed at which the zombies gathered. As more and more zombies were knocked down by the truck, the dead zombies piled up together and affected the speed of the truck. As a result, the speed of the truck was not fast enough, and the zombies that were knocked down got up again. This was not enough. If he could not get out of the truck¡­ When the truck ran out of gas, it would inevitably be surrounded and swallowed by the zombies. He could not continue to circle around here. The sun had already set, and the sky was getting darker and darker. If there were still those zombies spitting mucus in the darkness, they would shoot arrows at him and corrode the truck. Then Hades would definitely be swallowed by the zombies along with the car. Hades needed to escape. He had to leave. He could not predict what kind of danger would be hidden in the dark. Hades really wanted to save Julia, but at this moment, he could not do anything. He could not deal with the number of zombies. He had to leave first and think of a solution when the sun rose. He had no other choice but to drive the train. He sprinted as fast as he could and left the area around the cafeteria. Hades was more familiar with the campus. He relied on his memory to run around and shake off the zombies. He arrived at the classroom¡¯s office building, which was where the teachers usually worked. He had killed a lot of zombies by driving the truck. There were fewer zombies in the school. After Hades shook off the zombies, there were fewer zombies in the office building. This was also the center of the school, and the building was very tall. Hades felt that this was a good place, so he could rest here for a while. After Hades got out of the car, the zombies nearby also rushed over. There were many teachers in this teaching building. Most of these zombies looked like teachers. They were all adults, and their bodies were stronger than those of ordinary students. In the office building, they weren¡¯t exposed to the sunlight, so their bodies didn¡¯t show any signs of decay. They didn¡¯t die for long, just like when they were alive. Hades saw some familiar teachers among the zombies. He couldn¡¯t bear to see them, but the zombies had already attacked him. If he wanted to live, he had to kill all of them. Hades had no choice. He took out his katana. When the zombies came to him, he waved his katana and killed them one by one. The broken limbs of the zombies and the splashing blood were everywhere. It was an extremely cruel scene. Hades waved his saber and killed all the zombies. At the same time, they also dropped a lot of attributes. ¡°Strength + 0.1.¡± However, Hades also realized that after his strength broke through 100, the increase in his strength was very small. It seemed that it wouldn¡¯t be so easy to quickly increase his strength to a high level. The zombies in the future would definitely evolve as well. He was getting stronger, and the zombies were getting stronger! This made Hades feel a little afraid. If zombies could get stronger, then where would the future of mankind be? However, at this time, he couldn¡¯t think about what would happen in the future. He had to find a safe place to rest tonight. As Hades cleared the zombies in the teaching building, he also searched the area. The elevator was out of service because there was no electricity. He could only climb up one floor at a time to look for survivors. Hades searched the first few floors, but didn¡¯t find any traces of survivors. At most, he found the bodies of some students and teachers. They had been killed when the zombies broke out. Hades hoped that they could rest in peace. He searched the office buildings for something useful, but only found some documents and American dollars. In this situation, no amount of dollars would be of any use. Hades sighed with emotion and continued to search until he found the principal¡¯s office. It was the door of the principal¡¯s office. It was locked, but some sounds could be vaguely heard from inside. ¡°Ms. Hayley, you still don¡¯t understand the current situation. The apocalypse is coming, and there are zombies outside. You can only survive if you listen to us obediently!¡± The voice was an old man. Hades could tell that it was the principal¡¯s voice. He was threatening a female teacher. Hades had heard the name of this female teacher. It was the biology teacher of the school, Hayley. ¡°Yeah, don¡¯t be stubborn anymore. It won¡¯t end up well if you disobey us.¡± Another man¡¯s voice was heard. ¡°I believe in the US government and army. This disaster will pass sooner or later!¡± Hayley¡¯s voice was heard. ¡°It has been three days since the US government made any moves. Who knows how many people have turned into zombies or starved to death outside. Do you still believe in them?¡± Another man¡¯s voice could be heard. ¡°We can only rely on ourselves now! The humans are done for. We want to inherit and preserve mankind!¡± ¡°You can¡¯t take off my clothes! You damn b*stards!¡± Hayley¡¯s voice became extremely angry, but it also carried a pleading tone. No matter what, she was just a woman. Who knew how many men inside were prepared to commit atrocities against her. She could not resist them alone. Hades could not hear the full sound outside, but he could vaguely make out what it was. It was a group of male teachers and headmasters who wanted to use the end of the world to coerce a female teacher into having sex with them. The end of the world brought out the dark side of human nature, and at the end of the world, People¡¯s repressed nature was finally released. They no longer cared about the law and their beliefs, because there were no more police and judges to punish them. So powerful men were bound to take control, and the fate of women became very miserable. Whether coerced or voluntary, women could hardly survive, they could only rely on men. It was like returning to the primitive times. Hades was angry. Finding himself unable to tolerate these beasts, he kicked open the door of the principal¡¯s office. Chapter 9 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The door could not withstand Hades¡¯s immense power. In an instant, it shattered into pieces. The scene in the principal¡¯s office appeared before Hades¡¯eyes. There were four men and a woman inside. Besides the principal, they were all teachers of the school, and the woman was Hades. They surrounded Hades and had weapons like baseball bats and iron rods in their hands. If Hades hadn¡¯t arrived in time, these people would have used force to force Hayley to submit. The principal was also a little shocked when he saw Hades kick open the door. But as the principal, the leader of the entire academy, he saw that Hades was wearing the school uniform and was just a student. The principal immediately raised his head and arrogantly said, ¡°Who allowed you to barge in! This is the principal¡¯s office! You actually barged in without permission. How dare you! I can fire you at any time!¡± The principal and the teachers did not think much of what they were doing. Instead, they reprimanded Hades. This made Hades very disappointed with these prideful animals. Although they were usually teachers, who knew what kind of evil was hidden in their hearts! ¡°Fire? Am I still afraid of being fired now?¡± Hades clenched his fanged knife. ¡°I¡¯ve heard all these ugly things that you¡¯ve done. If you still want to live, then get lost!¡± ¡°With just you?¡± A male teacher walked out from behind the principal. ¡°Hades, don¡¯t forget that you haven¡¯t passed P.E. yet. I can beat you down by myself!¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Hades sneered. ¡°Put down your weapon and return to the dormitory to wait for rescue. After this accident passes, I¡¯ll give you additional credits. Otherwise, just wait to get expelled!¡± In the eyes of the teachers, Hades was still a thin and weak student who would listen to any reprimand. After all, there were very few students in this school who dared to disobey the teachers¡¯orders. Even ordinary teachers did not dare to disobey their orders, let alone these students. In the eyes of the principal, Hades should obediently surrender and put down the weapon in his hand. However, he would never have thought that Hades was completely different from before. Hades was no longer the weak student who was bullied by the seniors and humiliated by the teachers. He had changed. Ever since he got the system, Hades had changed. Not only did he become stronger physically, but his heart had also become stronger. The more zombies he killed, the more confident he became. He wasn¡¯t afraid of anyone. He wasn¡¯t afraid of zombies. It was that confidence that gave him a new look. ¡°I¡¯m not like anyone you¡¯ve ever known. I¡¯ll run forward. When they all rush to that door, I won¡¯t sit down, and I won¡¯t back down. You can never tell me to shut up, because I¡¯m on a mission, and I won¡¯t give up. In a world full of followers, I¡¯m going to be a leader. In a world full of doubt, I¡¯m going to be a believer. I¡¯m going to leave without a doubt, because this battle has been won. I¡¯ve given everything, and I¡¯m not going to live for myself anymore. I¡¯ve given everything without a second thought. I¡¯m ready to play, I¡¯m ready to give up everything, I¡¯ve given everything I have. Every step I take now, every drop of blood that flows in my veins, I¡¯ll remember. I¡¯m ready to give it all, this is not a brief interval, you can¡¯t take this gift and give up the way you came. This is eternity with purpose, and nothing will stop it. I¡¯m doing what God told me to do. In a world full of followers, I¡¯ll be a leader. In a world full of doubt, I will be a believer. I leave without a doubt, because my soul is like a playground. I¡¯ll give up everything, I will never live only for myself. I follow Jesus with all my heart and soul. I am ready to act!¡± This world will become the stage for Hades. He believed it from the bottom of his heart. ¡°I was kicked out of the dorm, but I killed a lot of zombies. The world is suffering. This is a test. Only a few people can survive. If you want to be a minority, you should leave wisely. Otherwise, my knife will fall on your necks.¡± ¡°This kid is crazy!¡± The PE teacher raised his baseball bat. ¡°Don¡¯t blame me! You can only blame yourself for meddling! Go to hell!¡± The physical education teacher also had this confidence. He had participated in the Olympic Games, and he was an excellent athlete. After he retired, he came to the academy to become a teacher. Who knew that the end would come? He was a strong athlete, and he could break through the encirclement with his weapons. However, he believed that this disaster would eventually pass. He found the principal and hoped that he could protect him. After the disaster, he would also have a share of the credit. The principal had taken a liking to Hayley, so he wanted to help him get her. If the principal wanted to kill this student, then he would do it for him. If Hades was an ordinary student, then he definitely wasn¡¯t a match for the sports teacher, a former professional athlete. But Hades had a system. The attributes he picked up had already made him far stronger than an ordinary person. He was able to deal with professional athletes with ease. Moreover, he had an even more powerful Saber Tooth Knife. However, Hades did not plan to kill anyone at the moment. He easily dodged the PE teacher¡¯s attack and let the PE teacher¡¯s baseball bat hit the air. In Hades¡¯s eyes, the PE teacher was as slow as a snail. This was his current strength. Unlike ordinary people, he was incomparably strong and confident. Then, Hades kicked the sports teacher in the stomach. The sports teacher felt like he had hit a cannonball. The sound of his bones breaking rang out. He let out a blood-curdling scream. Then, he was sent flying and fell on the table in the principal¡¯s office. The power of this kick was beyond everyone¡¯s imagination. The principal also did not expect that the sports teacher, a professional athlete, to lose to a student! Chapter 10 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The PE teacher fell onto the table and cried out in pain. He felt that his bones had fallen apart. There must be a fracture somewhere. The principal and the other teachers were all very shocked. They had not expected that this student who did not look strong would actually kick the PE teacher down. The principal and the other teachers felt a little afraid. Even if it was someone from the army, they might not have such strength. Who was this student? Hailais saw hope again and shouted, ¡°Save me! Save me!¡± ¡°Do any of you still want to come up and try?¡± Hades stood there, holding a Saber Tooth Blade in his hand to intimidate the others. When the others saw the PE teacher¡¯s appearance, they did not dare to come up and provoke Hades. They did not want to become like the PE teacher. He had already spat out blood and fell on the table. The surface of the table was cracked and was about to shatter. He was also hugging his wound and screaming in pain. Hades did not use his full strength. Otherwise, the teacher would have been dead by now. He still did not want to kill anyone. He had shown mercy. As the principal, he had clearly judged the current situation. Hades was able to defeat the PE teacher in an instant, and no one else here was a match for the PE teacher. This meant that Hades¡¯s strength far surpassed that of the PE teacher, and they were even less of a match for Hades. Therefore, the principal had to rope Hades in to become one of them. This would be a great help in surviving the apocalypse. After understanding this, the principal¡¯s fierce face changed again. He became closer and his voice became softer. He said in a tone that was trying to please Hades, ¡°Young people, don¡¯t fight and kill. Everything can be discussed.¡± ¡°What can be discussed? I demand that you all get out and don¡¯t come back!¡± Hades only had one condition. He didn¡¯t want to see these hypocritical teachers anymore. The humanity exposed after the apocalypse was too terrifying. He couldn¡¯t trust anyone now. ¡°There are zombies outside. If we go out, we¡¯ll definitely die,¡± the principal said. He looked like he was begging. The others also echoed from behind: ¡°Yeah, yeah. If we go out, we¡¯ll die.¡± ¡°Let us stay here. We promise that we won¡¯t do anything!¡± ¡°Letting us leave at this time is no different from killing us.¡± But Hades knew that these words were all fake. He didn¡¯t know what kind of evil thoughts they were harboring. Hades didn¡¯t trust them either. ¡°This matter is not negotiable. Since you¡¯ve done such a thing, I can only ask you to leave. Otherwise, I¡¯ll use my knife to let you leave!¡± Seeing that begging for mercy was useless, the principal changed his tone and said in a tough tone: ¡°You have to know that the current virus crisis is only temporary. After the virus is cleaned up by the country, everything will return to normal. No matter how powerful you are, you can not beat the police! Why don¡¯t you cooperate with us? After the army clears the zombies, I guarantee that you will be rewarded.¡± When the principal said these words, many teachers agreed with him. Most of them had been convinced. So, these people gathered together. But in fact, the zombies hadn¡¯t been cleared after a few days. In fact, some people had given up their fantasies about the government. That was why they were trying to assault Hayley. When they were outside the door, they heard someone say that they didn¡¯t believe in the government anymore. Now, they said that they had to believe what the government says. This was ridiculous. Hades would never believe them. He didn¡¯t say anything else and kicked the principal in the stomach. The principal was already an old man, so Hades¡¯s kick was very light. However, no matter how little strength Hades used, it was still difficult for the principle to withstand the force of the kick. He was also sent flying, but he only rolled a few times on the ground and crashed into a chair. His injuries were not that serious. This time, he completely lost his dignity and confidence. He could only kneel and beg for mercy. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go! We¡¯ll leave immediately!¡± ¡°Stop talking nonsense. I don¡¯t want to see you guys again! Get lost!¡±Hades roared at these scumbags. When those people saw the principal in this state, they didn¡¯t dare to stay any longer. They rolled and crawled away. The principal was even more miserable. He was beaten to the ground, but the others didn¡¯t care about him. They even stepped on him and escaped. ¡°Step out!¡± Hades shouted. When those people heard Hades¡¯s voice, they stopped and came back obediently. ¡°Do you have any other orders?¡± They were afraid that once Hades got angry, he would kill everyone here. Therefore, when they heard Hades¡¯s words, they did not dare to leave. ¡°Take these two people out!¡± Hades pointed at the principal and the PE teacher. Because they had been kicked by Hades, they collapsed on the ground and were unable to move. Hades didn¡¯t want them to stay here, and he was too lazy to move them. ¡°Yes, yes.¡± Seeing that Hades didn¡¯t make things difficult for them, the other teachers also heaved a sigh of relief. A few of them helped the principal and the PE teacher up, carried them, and left. ¡°Eh?¡± Hades was pleasantly surprised to find that after he had defeated the principal and the PE teacher, they had also dropped attribute balls. Hades walked over and picked up the attribute ball. ¡°Strength + 5.¡± ¡°Agility + 1.¡± These attribute points were not much for Hades now, but they were more than what the zombies outside had dropped. Could it be that even hitting people would drop attribute points. The system was really powerful. Hades was very satisfied with the system. It seemed that even if there were no zombies in the future, he could still increase his attribute points. Then his potential would be limitless. The others couldn¡¯t see Hades pick up the attribute ball. They only saw Hades walk to the spot where the PE teacher had fallen. He stood there for a while and then began to laugh. When the others heard the laughter, they were a little nervous. They didn¡¯t dare to stay any longer and hurriedly ran out with the principal on their backs. The principal, who was lifted by the others, suddenly turned around. His eyes became extremely malicious. But Hades, who was picking up the attribute ball, did not notice. He did not know what the principal was thinking. Chapter 11 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio These teachers were driven out of the classroom office building, and they were delighted to find a van parked at the door. This van was not there, so they easily thought that it was Hades who drove it here. ¡°The car keys are still there!¡± A teacher who got in the car to check said in surprise. The principal suddenly said, ¡°With this car, we can drive out of the campus and go to the government!¡± ¡°But this is that man¡¯s car¡­¡± The teachers all looked at the teaching building, but Hades didn¡¯t follow them. ¡°He didn¡¯t follow us. The car keys are inside. He drove the car and ran away. There¡¯s no way he could catch up with the truck!¡± The principal said, ¡°Are we going to leave like this? We¡¯ll definitely be eaten by zombies!¡± The other teachers agreed with him. Zombies were too terrifying. Now that the PE teacher was injured, they had lost their fighting ability. It was even harder to survive in this apocalypse. And this truck was their hope of escaping! The other teachers looked at each other and agreed with the principal¡¯s opinion. They drove away! ¡°What about the PE teacher?¡± The person carrying the PE teacher asked. ¡°Throw him out. We don¡¯t need him anymore¡­¡± ¡°But isn¡¯t this too cruel?¡± ¡°It was that hateful student who injured him. If you want to blame someone, blame that student! We don¡¯t need extra people. Hurry up and get in the truck. Otherwise, it will be too late.¡± Under the principal¡¯s lead, the others also got in the car. The teacher had no choice but to leave the PE teacher behind and get in the car as well. The PE teacher still had a vague consciousness. He shouted in a weak voice, ¡°Don¡¯t leave me behind¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t blame me. When we get out and find the army, we¡¯ll take revenge!¡± The principal sat in the driver¡¯s seat, turned the key, and started the engine. The van was started. Without any hesitation, the principal drove away. The physical education teacher didn¡¯t want to give up. He struggled to climb into the van. However, the door was already closed. The van started to move, and the wheels ran over his body. The PE teacher, who was already seriously injured, was run over by the van. He couldn¡¯t hold on any longer and stopped breathing under the tires of the van. The sound of the truck starting attracted Hades¡¯s attention. He stood on the window upstairs and saw everything. The truck drove out of the school. Behind them, a group of zombies heard the sound of the truck and ran with it. ¡°What a bunch of idiots.¡± Hades wasn¡¯t angry when he saw them drive away the truck. It was just enough to help him attract the zombies away. He would go to the cafeteria tomorrow, and there would be fewer zombies. At this time, Hades¡¯attributes were: [ Hades (mortal)] [ strength: 110] [ agility: 89] [ vitality: 75] [ intelligence: 90] [ perception: 109] [ charm: 88] [ weapon: Saber Tooth Blade, Fire Patterned Dagger] [ critical hit rate: 10% ] [ item: Strength Pill ] This was also the reason why he could survive the apocalypse. If he was just a weak student, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to survive the apocalypse. He probably didn¡¯t even know what he looked like now, much less chase the principal and the others out. This was all the system¡¯s power to help him. And it was already very late at night, almost midnight. From the moment he left the dormitory, Hades had been fighting, fighting. He was already very tired, and now he had to rest and recover his energy. Miss Hayley was still scared because she didn¡¯t know what kind of person Hades was. Although Hades had just saved her, she couldn¡¯t trust anyone anymore. Maybe he had just left the wolf¡¯s Den and entered the tiger¡¯s den. Hades didn¡¯t show any unusual behavior at the moment. He just looked around for some things in the principal¡¯s office, but he didn¡¯t find anything valuable. He stood in front of the window for a while and then started to look through his backpack. Hailey also saw Hades¡¯s backpack, which was full of food. Hayley was very surprised. After the apocalypse, the thing he lacked the most was food. How did he get so much food? Most of the food came from the supermarket? Did Hades get the food from the supermarket? There were many zombies in the supermarket, so it was difficult for ordinary people to get close to them. But when Hayley saw Hades¡¯s Tiger Fang knife, it was covered with the black blood of zombies. Maybe he really killed a lot of zombies and got the food from the supermarket. Although she didn¡¯t know how he did it, Hades must be a very powerful person. This could be proved by the fact that he could kick the PE teacher away. If Hades wanted to have evil intentions toward her, she probably wouldn¡¯t have the ability to resist. The end of the world made women too weak and dangerous. Hayley felt that she had to become strong and protect herself. No one knew how long the end of the world would last and what would happen to her during this period. But at this moment, she had no choice but to rely on this student in front of her. Because she had never submitted before, the principal and the others had never given her any food. When she saw how much food Hades had, her eyes shone with desire. Hades also noticed Hayley¡¯s gaze and took out some bread and canned water to give to Hades. ¡°Eat it,¡± Hades said. ¡°Is it free?¡± Hades hesitated. She couldn¡¯t believe that Hades would be so kind as to share this precious food with her. ¡°It¡¯s free.¡± ¡°Oh, thank you.¡± Hayley was relieved to hear that. She didn¡¯t take the food immediately. Instead, she said, ¡°I¡¯ll give you money in the future.¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid that money won¡¯t be of much use in the future. There are zombies outside. It¡¯s better to find something more practical,¡± Hades said. ¡°Is there anything hidden in the principal¡¯s room? They¡¯re hiding here. It¡¯s impossible that there¡¯s no food at all.¡± Hades thought for a moment and said, ¡°They have a secret room, but I don¡¯t know where it is. I need to find it.¡± Chapter 12 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Using her memory, Hayley quickly found a side door behind the bookshelf in the principal¡¯s office. It was a very hidden side door. If one did not look carefully, it would be difficult for others to find it. Hades came to the door and found that it was locked, and it was a security door. The key should be in the principal¡¯s hands, but the principal did not give it to him when he left. But Hades didn¡¯t care at all. He pressed down on the lock with one hand and began to exert force. Then with a loud shout, the door was actually knocked open by Hades! Seeing this from the side, Hailey was shocked. She didn¡¯t think that Hades didn¡¯t have a key. He could knock open a door just by relying on force alone. This wasn¡¯t an ordinary anti-theft door. It was completely made of steel and incomparably heavy. Even the world champion would not be able to open a security door with his strength! Hades did not seem to use much strength and easily opened the door. Unbelievable, too unbelievable! No wonder he could defeat the PE teacher and defeat so many zombies to come here. Hailey did not dare to underestimate Hades anymore. This student was different from ordinary people. Maybe it was a product of military experiments. Through many movies that she had watched, Hayley was sure that Hades had some extraordinary ability. Indeed, Hades¡¯s current strength had far surpassed that of ordinary people. He could open this anti-theft door with only his strength. However, after he opened it, two zombies suddenly jumped out of the door. Hades reacted quickly. When the two zombies appeared, he dodged to the side. Fortunately, he didn¡¯t let his guard down. He held the Saber Tooth Blade in his hand. The moment the zombies appeared, he hacked at them! The two zombies were cut into two pieces. The blood of the zombies scattered all over the ground. This was the first time that Hayley saw a scene where zombies were killed. Zombies were human beings, so it was exactly the same as the scene of a human being being killed. Hades couldn¡¯t help but scream. It was as if two people had been cut into two halves. The scattered blood was enough to make ordinary people lose their minds. Perhaps, this was a terrifying and angry scene for ordinary people. But for Hades, who had killed many zombies, this bloody scene was nothing. He was no longer afraid of zombies. His senses, strength, and agility were already strong enough. He could only see that these zombies were just moving attribute points. After the two zombies were killed, they also dropped some attribute points. But for the current Hades, the bonus was not much. He easily picked up the attribute points and entered the room. It was a secret small room. The decorations inside were very luxurious. The red tiles and wallpaper, there was a bed, a TV, and sanitary pads inside. It looked like a room in a high-class hotel. Such a room could actually be built behind the principal¡¯s office. It seemed that the principal was not a good person. The fact that he had become like this also showed that he was born like this. He didn¡¯t know how many girls he had harmed in this room. Thinking of this, Hades regretted letting the principal leave. Perhaps he should have killed him and gotten rid of the evil for the people. But he drove the van away. He couldn¡¯t continue to chase after him, so he could only let it go. Hades continued to search the room. He found some food in some places, but not much. There were also a lot of high-end luxury goods and a safe. Hades easily stuffed the safe. In the safe, there were tens of thousands of dollars, some watches and luxury goods. These valuable things were now worthless. The value of the notes could only be treated as a piece of paper. This campus had been swallowed by zombies. In a more prosperous place, there would definitely be more zombies. Those shops would no longer exist, and the use of money would also be lost. Strength was the only thing in this world right now. What Hades wanted the most right now was a gun. Fortunately, there was no gun in this campus. The school rules here were usually very strict, forbidding any student to carry a gun. As a teacher and principal, they naturally didn¡¯t have guns. Otherwise, if the principal took out a gun, Hades would still be no match for him. Without a gun, Hades didn¡¯t feel safe at all. But at least in the principal¡¯s office, it was safe for the time being. Hades searched for a while, but couldn¡¯t find any more items, so he went out. Outside the door, Hades didn¡¯t dare to come in. He saw the zombie corpses crouching in the corner in fear. After all, the zombie corpses were no different from human corpses. It was natural for him to feel fear when he was close to those zombies. Hades had no choice but to clean up those zombies. The two zombies were thrown out of the window, but there was nothing he could do about the blood on the ground. ¡°Go get some water and clean the floor.¡± The blood was still smelly. Hades was very tired, so he couldn¡¯t do everything. Seeing Hades, he felt that he should let her do some work. After all, she had eaten his food, so she couldn¡¯t eat for free. Hearing Hades¡¯words, Hades subconsciously resisted. However, thinking of her own situation, she couldn¡¯t disobey Hades¡¯orders. Otherwise, if she angered Hades, who knew what would happen? If Hades wanted to chase the principal and the others away, those zombies outside would definitely eat her. She was already scared to death by the sight of the zombie corpses. If she were to face more zombies, she was afraid that Hades would go crazy from fear. Compared to being chased out, she would rather work honestly. Hades had no choice but to do it. He went to the faucet to get some water, then began to clean the floor with a rag. Hades didn¡¯t care about her anymore. He was too tired and needed to rest. Hades went to the secret room that belonged to the principle and collapsed on the soft bed. But he still put his weapon close to himself as he slowly fell asleep. Chapter 13 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio When he woke up the next day, Hades did not notice anything strange around him. He slept very well yesterday. This was the night he could sleep after the apocalypse. When he was in the dormitory, he was bullied by the members of the rugby team. Those students who did not have any status were sent to guard the entrance and could not sleep peacefully. The best and safest places were occupied by the physically strong upperclassmen. They forbade the underclassmen to be on equal footing with them. And they called this militarized management. The underclassmen were soldiers, and the upperclassmen automatically became officers. It was unfair and unequal. But the upperclassmen had weapons and protective equipment, and ordinary students were no match for them and could only submit to their threats. Food and sleep were not available to the underclassmen students. Hades had a good sleep because he had the ability to protect himself and not be bullied by others. Otherwise, there would be no difference between him and those who were eaten by zombies outside. After getting up, Hades equipped himself with weapons, carried out a simple cleaning in the principal¡¯s bathroom, and took a shower. After that, he left the principal¡¯s secret room, and Hayley was still sleeping on the sofa outside the office. She wiped the blood on the floor hard last night, but she didn¡¯t dare to enter the secret room. Maybe it already belonged to Hades. Hayley could only sleep on the sofa outside, but she didn¡¯t sleep well, even though Hayley didn¡¯t sleep much during this time. However, Hayley still maintained a certain level of vigilance. Although Hades had saved her, she was not sure if Hades was sincere or if he had other intentions. If Hades was still a bad person, then she would not be able to resist him. Perhaps it was because of this fear, but Hayley did not fall asleep that night. Therefore, when Hades came out, Hayley had already woken up. She was observing Hades¡¯every move. ¡°I¡¯m leaving.¡± Hades carried his backpack. However, he didn¡¯t intend to abandon Hayley completely. Hades took out some food from his backpack and gave it to Hades together with the materials he found in the classroom and office building. ¡°With these food and that secret cabin, as long as you stay here, you should be fine for at least half a month.¡± Seeing the food, Hailey was very happy, but she soon calmed down. She shook her head and said, ¡°No, if I leave you, I¡¯ll die! You can¡¯t just leave like that¡­ maybe those people will come back. If they come back, I¡¯ll be dead.¡± ¡°The principal? They won¡¯t come back. They took my car yesterday, but they didn¡¯t know that the sound of driving would attract more zombies, and the zombies at night would be more powerful. I don¡¯t think they can drive away last night.¡± ¡°Are they dead?¡± ¡°It¡¯s possible,¡±Hades said. ¡°Just stay here and wait for help.¡± ¡°Where are you going?¡± Asked Hayley. ¡°I¡¯m going to the cafeteria. There should be someone there. I have to go and see¡­ A girl I care about.¡± ¡°Is she your girlfriend?¡± ¡°No¡­ not really.¡± ¡°Can I go with you?¡± Hailey said, ¡°I don¡¯t dare to stay here alone. I¡¯m a little scared.¡± ¡°No, you¡¯re too weak. It¡¯s best if you stay here.¡± ¡°But if zombies come, I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t stop them.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve killed all the zombies nearby. No more zombies will come.¡± ¡°The school is so big. There will always be new zombies. You can¡¯t abandon me.¡± At this point, Hayley started to cry. It was like an outlet for her emotions. She cried out all of her feelings, because she felt wronged. These days, she had to be on guard against those men. There were countless scary zombies outside. Last night, she saw the zombie being torn into pieces. Countless horrifying scenes and thoughts appeared in her mind, and she couldn¡¯t bear it anymore. Why did the world become like this. She didn¡¯t understand whose fault it was. What did she do wrong. Hailey believed in God, and she prayed for God countless times to save her. And at her most dangerous moment, it was Hades who appeared. When she heard the news that Hades was leaving, she panicked. Hades was her savior! She thought in her heart, only Hades can save her, she could not leave Hades. So, she cried. She cried with 80% sincerity, 20% acting. Because she hoped that Hades can sympathize with her, not abandon her, or she thought that she will die in this kind of doomsday. Hayley did not want to die. Her performance was effective, and when Hades saw the usually strong female teacher crying, he had to be moved. Indeed, if Hades left like this, he might never come back. After this, Hayley¡¯s life and death had nothing to do with him, and he would not care, nor would he remember. However, she couldn¡¯t survive in this post-apocalyptic world by herself. Saving a person and leaving them on their own. It was no different from killing them. It was a kind of moral kidnapping, but it was very effective. Hades hesitated. There were still countless zombies outside. He couldn¡¯t keep bringing his teacher along. She couldn¡¯t help him much. ¡°I can¡¯t help you too much. You have to rely on yourself in the apocalypse,¡± Hades said. Hayley looked desperate. She didn¡¯t know what to do. ¡°But, you can stay here. I won¡¯t leave the campus for the time being. I need to find more people to save. If I can come back, I will. When I want to leave, I promise you that I will take you with me.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Hayley had hopes again. ¡°I don¡¯t have to lie to you,¡± Hades said. ¡°Now I¡¯m hungry. Can you make me some food?¡± ¡°Okay, okay.¡± Hayley was happy, as if she had found her role. She looked for a toaster and microwave in the office, prepared some food, and brought it to Hades. Chapter 14 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Hades ate the steaming food, which tasted even more delicious after being heated. After breakfast, Hades left the principal¡¯s office. He told Hayley that she could only stay here. No one was allowed to open the door, except Hades. If she was in danger, she would hide in a small hidden room. That room was hidden very well. If one didn¡¯t search carefully, it would be difficult for ordinary people to find that room. After all, there were many zombies on campus. Hayley couldn¡¯t take Hades on an adventure. After all, this wasn¡¯t a game. While he was fighting, he might not have time to take care of Hayley. She was just an ordinary person. If she was bitten by a zombie, she might die or turn into a zombie herself. Hades didn¡¯t want that to happen. So, Hades persuaded her to stay. Hades promised her that he would find a suitable place to take her away. He also left enough food and water for her so that he could leave reassured about her safety. It had been a week since the zombie outbreak. That was the limit of what ordinary people could hide. People needed food and water. However, zombies didn¡¯t need it. They had already died once. They were like demons in hell, looking for the breath of living people, then devouring them and dragging them into hell together. After the zombies that were killed by Hades¡¯s speeding car last night, as well as the zombies that were attracted by the principal¡¯s truck and the others, the number of zombies in the campus had been greatly reduced. Originally, zombies could be seen wandering around every few steps, but now, zombies were not so common anymore. Only a few zombies were wandering around. However, the entire campus was still very quiet. After all, those who survived were very careful and would not come out easily. In the post-apocalyptic world, not only did you have to face zombies, but you also had to face the test of humanity. When you meet your own kind, they won¡¯t necessarily become your friends. They are more likely to take advantage of your resources and weapons and attack you. They will take everything from you and exploit your labor force. If it is a girl, then her fate will be even more tragic. The forest was dark and gloomy. Although the number of zombies on campus has decreased, no one is willing to voluntarily expose themselves, because that may attract the attention of others and attack. In the entire academy, only Hades dared to act so boldly. He wasn¡¯t worried at all, because with his current strength, even if he encountered zombies, he wouldn¡¯t be afraid at all. Those zombies were only attribute points, and would only increase his strength. If it was during normal times, the students in the academy would probably have just started classes. This place was originally a vibrant academy. All the students carried their books and walked towards the classroom. Hades would also be one of them. He was filled with endless expectations for the future. He thought that after graduation, he might become a reporter or a photographer. However, all of this was impossible because the world had completely changed. The previous world would never come back. Even if the humans defeated the zombies in the end, it would become a new world. The Old World had already died. Who would become the King of the New World? It was still too early. Hades only reminisced about all this. Ever since the end of the world, he had never seen such a peaceful campus. The original campus was filled with zombies. Everyone was living in fear. They were on the brink of death. Hades suddenly remembered that he had a camera. He had to do something for this world that was about to die and leave something behind. Hades took out the camera and pointed it at the trees on the playground and the school buildings in the distance. He took pictures of all these memories. He wanted to leave something behind for the history of mankind so that they would not forget this world thousands of years later. Because the battle with the zombies would definitely last for a very, very long time.. Hades was a person who hated forgetting, and his memory was very good. He would remember every person who hurt him, and he would vow to take revenge. He would also remember every person who treated him well, and he would do his best to repay the other party. This was also the principle of Hades as a person, to repay kindness with kindness, and to take revenge with hatred. Hades walked across the campus and took many photos. Some were pictures of the old campus, some were pictures of the destroyed campus, and some were pictures of zombies. He categorized the zombies and wrote the date on the back of the photos. There was no doubt that all zombies had become human. He even recognized his former classmates among the zombies. No matter how good and beautiful that person was, after becoming a zombie, he was just a corpse. They were ugly and irrational. While taking photos, Hades was also observing them. He had to record and find out the truth and reason behind all of this. Through observation, Hades concluded these points. Zombies would rot under the sun. When the rot reached a certain level, their skin and flesh would fall off. If too much of their bodies fell off, they would lose their vitality. Zombies would devour zombies. When zombies devoured zombies, that zombie would become slightly stronger. When it devoured enough, its body would also become bigger and stronger. When zombies ate enough food, they would become no different from human beings. However, if they continued eating, their bodies would become tougher and stronger. Therefore, it could be inferred that as time passed, the weaker zombies would be eliminated, and the remaining zombies would become extremely powerful. There was another point, which was that there seemed to be a leader among the zombies. Hades didn¡¯t have any evidence on this point. Instead, he used his intuition, because he gradually found that some scattered zombies were gathering, as if they were under some kind of command. Therefore, the idea of a zombie leader appeared in Hades¡¯mind. If zombies had a leader, if he and humans had meaningful wisdom.. Hades didn¡¯t dare to think further, but he knew that the world was completely different now. Only by fighting, constantly fighting, could he survive! Chapter 15 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio While taking photos, Hades also killed some zombies. But as he got closer to the dormitory and the cafeteria, he found more and more corpses around him. Hades realized the seriousness of the matter. The corpses of these students were not there yesterday. It meant that last night, a group of students tried to leave, but instead of avoiding the zombies, they were caught and eaten by the zombies. Most of what Hades saw were only the remains of the corpses, and a small number of zombies were eating human corpses. This made Hades feel extremely nauseous and uncomfortable. This was because this wasn¡¯t a fake corpse that was separated by a screen or a prop like in movies and television, but a real person! Yesterday, they were still alive, but now they had become the food of zombies, which made Hades feel extremely uncomfortable. He had killed countless zombies, so he had no psychological problem killing zombies. But when he saw the scene of zombies eating people with his own eyes, he still felt a little scared. After all, those zombies used to be his own kind. Although they were already dead, they still looked very scary. It was a wise choice for him not to let Hayley follow him. If she saw the scene of zombies eating people, she would probably be scared to tears by now. However, Hades was a man after all. He quickly calmed down after seeing the scene. He carefully observed the zombies and didn¡¯t act rashly to alert the enemy. He saw a strange phenomenon. After the zombies ate another intact corpse, the increase in their body size became very obvious. Their eyes, which had been missing, slowly became conscious. In short, they were becoming more and more like humans, and not a slow and sluggish zombie. This made Hades curious. He felt that the zombies were obviously evolving. And the way to evolve was to devour other organisms. If he was careless, he might die. This was Hades¡¯ direct warning to him. Those zombies seemed to be eating the fresh flesh and blood as well. Hades didn¡¯t plan to let them go. All the zombies were his enemies. Hades quietly circled behind those zombies. After passing through the area, his steps were very light. He wouldn¡¯t be discovered by those zombies, he approached them step by step, looking for the most suitable opportunity. The zombies hadn¡¯t realized the danger yet, and were still gnawing on the other corpses. When they all lowered their heads.. This was the opportunity! Hades raised his blade and swung the Saber Tooth like a tiger descending the mountain! This time, he gave a rare critical strike! The Saber Tooth Blade let out a tiger¡¯s roar, and the zombies were stunned and couldn¡¯t even move. Hades thought to himself, ¡®God help me, ¡®and killed the zombies with a few slashes. The zombies also dropped a lot of attribute balls. ¡°Strength + 12.¡± ¡°Agility + 6.¡± ¡°Perception + 8.¡± ¡°Red Packet + 1!¡± It had to be said that this was a great harvest. The attributes of these strengthened zombies were much better than those of the ordinary zombies from yesterday. However, Hades was not happy, because this meant that the zombies were getting stronger. This was not good news for him or the entire human race. If the zombies were getting stronger, then the humans would not have an attribute system like him. It would be difficult for ordinary people to survive. Unless there was a higher level of technology, only the army could barely survive in the apocalypse. No matter what, he had to find an army to protect him. It was very difficult to defeat all the zombies by himself. ¡°Open the Red Packet!¡± ¡°Acquired Titanium Shield! Defense + 100! This is a sturdy shield that is not easy to break and corrode!¡± Hades finally had a piece of defensive equipment. He cherished it because he was not sure if he would become a zombie after being injured. That was why he had been so careful. If he got hurt by a zombie, all his efforts would be wasted. No matter how strong his attributes were or how fierce his attacks were, he would die. Now that he had a piece of armor, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. At least he could block some of the zombies¡¯ attacks, which gave Hades the ability to fight head-on. Hades immediately equipped himself with a titanium shield, which was a short shield that he could hold with one hand. After receiving the new equipment, Hades continued to advance toward his destination. The further he advanced, the more bloody scenes there were. There were more and more zombies. They seemed to have gathered near the school building and the cafeteria. The number of zombies there was several times more than yesterday. The reason could be that the students there had tried to break out of the zombie encirclement last night and leave the campus. Hades wasn¡¯t sure how many students had broken out, but there must have been a lot of students who had died. Moreover, a large number of them hadn¡¯t left, because the zombies were still gathered there. There must be a lot of living people there. But the zombies were all gathered together, which made Hades a bit embarrassed. The situation now was different from yesterday. Yesterday, he had a van. Yesterday, the truck had been driven away by the principal and the others. Without the help of the truck, he couldn¡¯t defeat so many zombies by himself. He had to find a way to either bypass the zombies and enter the cafeteria, or find a new weapon to deal with the zombies. The only way for Hades to get a weapon was to defeat the zombies. But now, the zombies were all piled up together. If he attacked any one of the zombies, he might attract more zombies. Those zombies could become stronger, and the risk of him doing so was extremely high. So, Hades only wanted to continue observing if there was a new entrance to the cafeteria. He had to save Julia. Chapter 16 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Hades saw thousands of zombies gathered around the canteen. Maybe all the zombies in the school had gathered here. Judging from the corpses of many students on the ground, it seemed that some students had tried to break out of the zombie encirclement last night. However, as soon as the zombies smelled the scent of living people, they all rushed over. There were more than 10,000 students in the school. At least 8,000 of them had turned into zombies. Some of the remaining students might have escaped. Some of the students hid in a corner of the campus, waiting for rescue. However, it had been a week since the apocalypse. No matter how long the students hid, they gradually couldn¡¯t hold on anymore. Food and water were what everyone needed to eat and drink. Most of the food in the school was surrounded by many zombies. After a week, no matter how much food was hidden, it was almost all eaten up. Humans could not last long without food. They had to come out to eat or survive. However, to zombies, their food was humans. As soon as humans came out, their sensitive sense of smell let them to immediately gathered together. Ordinary students could deal with one or two zombies, but they were still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. Under the encirclement of countless zombies, these students would definitely be unable to escape. Unless they had a car. There were also some tire marks on the ground and some cars that crashed into the wall. Some people might have escaped, but most of them had become food for the zombies. The rest of the people might have gathered in the cafeteria and the teaching building. Currently, there were only two places in the entire academy that had the possibility of defense and survival. The other places had already fallen. But even if the zombies were attracted by the living people, Hades still felt that something was wrong. There were too many zombies, and their movements were abnormal. They were completely different from the zombies from the past few days. The zombies from the past few days were wandering aimlessly, looking for living people everywhere. They moved slowly and never grouped together. But today, these zombies were gathered together. They didn¡¯t make any unnecessary movements, just like soldiers. This was something that wouldn¡¯t have happened in the past few days. These zombies seemed to be listening to the orders of some zombies. They only surrounded the cafeteria, but didn¡¯t attack. This reminded Hades of the ancient siege. Before the siege, they would surround the city first! When the city ran out of ammunition and food, they would launch a fierce attack! Hades suddenly thought of this. He was almost sure that these zombies were following a certain command. A zombie leader! This was beyond Hades¡¯s imagination. However, after observing the signs, he found it hard to deny this. These zombies were no longer ordinary zombies. They had formed a zombie army! If they were wandering zombies, even if there were thirty-four of them, it would be very easy for Hades to defeat them with his current strength. However, these zombies were in groups and had a leader hidden in the dark. This was completely different. Hades was surprised at the growth of zombies. If these zombies continued to grow like this, who knew what kind of creatures they would become in the future. Perhaps they would become a new species to replace humans? Hades was terrified at the thought of this. He felt that he had to destroy all the zombies as soon as possible. If he waited until the zombies continued to evolve, it would be too late. Humans could not be wiped out just like that. Hades wanted to save and preserve mankind¡¯s last hope. Hades had to save all the people here. However, the current situation was very critical. He had no way to fight against this undead army. They were like a wall that could not be crossed, blocking Hades¡¯s advance. Hades could only be anxious outside, but there was nothing he could do to them. Unless.. He could kill the commander! Hades thought of this. Although the zombies were gathered together, if he could kill the commander of the zombies, the zombies might disperse. By then, he could easily enter the cafeteria. If he wanted to defeat all the zombies, Hades alone wouldn¡¯t be enough. While Hades was thinking about his next move, he found that the zombies were suddenly moving. They weren¡¯t moving casually, but all of them suddenly raised their heads as if they had heard some kind of order. They all started moving toward the same place. This made Hades believe that there must be a commander in this group of zombies. Otherwise, the zombies wouldn¡¯t all obey the order. Hades followed the zombie¡¯s movement, trying to find the commander among the zombies and kill it. However, it was also very cunning. These zombies moved together. There were too many of them, so it was difficult to tell who was the ordinary zombie and who was the commander. These zombies went to another place, the teaching building. Hades wanted to enter the school building yesterday, but was rejected by the people in the building. They suspected that Hades might become a zombie, so they chased him away. Hades frowned. He suddenly understood what the zombie commander wanted to do. He wanted to attack the school building first, not the cafeteria. There must be enough food in the cafeteria, so they could last for a long time. However, there wasn¡¯t that much food in the school building. The people inside must be hungry, so they might not have the strength to resist. After the zombie army broke through the school building, the students inside became zombies. This way, they could further strengthen the zombie army and attack the cafeteria. What a brilliant plan! If a human could make such a decision, it might be normal. But this was a zombie, a zombie that had already become a corpse. Logically speaking, after a person died, their brain would also die. However, the zombie virus allowed the zombies to come back to life, but most of the zombies¡¯ brains had not come back to life. They had no reason and no intelligence. But just like a genetic mutation, no matter what, the probability of a mutation was extremely small. Among the tens of thousands of zombies, there would always be one or two that would allow the brain to evolve and become intelligent zombies. These zombies would naturally become the commanders of the zombies, and they seemed to have a way to control the rest. This made things more and more difficult.. Chapter 17 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio When the zombie army surrounded the teaching building, they didn¡¯t surround it aimlessly. They only blocked a few doors. Because the teaching building only had a few doors, those doors were now blocked by the students inside. The zombies couldn¡¯t break in even if they surrounded the outside. The students inside should also be good at defense and commanding. He built the teaching building into a fortress-like place. All the doors and windows were sealed, and there were sharp logs outside to prevent the zombies from entering. When the people in the school building saw the zombies approaching, they took the initiative to attack. They shot arrows from inside and threw some heavy objects that could kill people from a high place. If they were ordinary people, they would probably die if they were hit. However, those zombies were dead objects, so they weren¡¯t afraid of those things at all. Some broken glass and stones were completely ineffective. Those zombies gathered together. Although they didn¡¯t have a ladder, there were a lot of zombies. Some of them volunteered to be the stepping stones and used their bodies as ladders to get the other zombies to go upstairs. Such terrifying mobility and the immortal army were extremely terrifying! Countless shouts came from the school building. Some zombies had already broken into the building through the windows, but there were also quite a few students inside. They worked together and seemed to have some weapons to chase the zombies out. The zombies and the students were fighting against each other. Because the students had occupied the high ground and had enough fortifications, the zombies couldn¡¯t break in at the moment. The leader of the zombies seemed to realize that one or two zombies wouldn¡¯t be enough to break into the new school. The biggest advantage of the zombies was their numbers. They had to make use of their numbers. The zombies gathered in front of the gate again, and a group of zombies rushed back and forth to the gate. Hades was hiding nearby. He was surprised to see the movement of the zombies. Before, the zombies wouldn¡¯t rush into the gate. They would only look for living people everywhere. If they encountered an obstacle, they would go around it. They wouldn¡¯t break through it by force. However, once the commander gave the order, the zombies began to concentrate their power to break through the gate. If the zombies broke through the gate, thousands of zombies would swarm into the school building, and the students inside would become lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Hades would never allow such a thing to happen. He felt that he had to make a move. Hades took out his Saber Tooth Blade. He was accumulating power. Space-Splitting Slash! This was a knife technique that would become more powerful the longer it took to accumulate power. Hades had been hiding nearby. The zombies followed the movements of the zombie commander and didn¡¯t look for living people everywhere. Maybe the zombies thought that all the students were in the cafeteria and the teaching building. Who would have thought that there was another Hades outside? Moreover, he dared to follow the zombie army so closely. This gave Hades a chance to get close to the zombie army and use the space-splitting slash. The time for Hades to use the space-splitting slash wasn¡¯t long. He could only use it for three seconds. When he finished, three beams of light shot out from the ground. The beams of light were very destructive. They grew larger and larger until they covered a ten-meter radius. All the zombies within that ten-meter radius were killed by those beams of light. When he used the space-splitting cut, he was shocked. He didn¡¯t expect that this move would be so effective. Even if he was facing a large area of zombies, as long as he used the space-splitting cut, no matter how many zombies were in front of him, they would all be killed. The only regret was that he had to store his power for three seconds. He could only hide in a secret corner and release it. Otherwise, three seconds would be enough for the zombies to reach him. He couldn¡¯t use the Space-Splitting Slash continuously, but his move had opened a path for him. Hades rushed to the gate of the school building and blocked it. The gate was almost knocked open by the zombies. He had to block the zombies and stop them from moving forward. The students in the building were also surprised. They were all surprised to see Hades kill so many zombies and block the gate. ¡°Who is that? He is so powerful!¡± ¡°It¡¯s the one who came yesterday¡­ is he still alive?¡± ¡°What is he doing?¡± ¡°My god! He blocked those zombies by himself. Is he using a knife?¡± ¡°He is so powerful!¡± The students on the building exclaimed. They had seen how powerful Hades was, and two people had quarreled because of Hades. They were the president and the vice president of the Student Union. The president of the student union was called Aaron. On the first day of the zombie outbreak, he had sensed that something was wrong. While the zombies were still scattered, he gathered the surviving students and hid in the teaching building. It was thanks to his timely command that most of the students survived. Then, Aaron closed the entrance of the school building and locked the doors and windows to ward off the zombies. He initially placed his hopes on the American army. He actively contacted the outside world, but the situation outside was not optimistic. Zombie viruses had erupted all over the world. Humans had entered an apocalyptic era, and governments were doing their best to resist the zombies. Although they were effective at the beginning, they gradually lost contact with some places. The world outside fell into chaos, and many religions took the opportunity to win over the hearts of the people. They claimed that this was a punishment from heaven, but these punishments soon fell on them. The world was in chaos, and some people even suggested using nuclear weapons. But obviously, before the nuclear weapons could be launched, the human world had already fallen.. Most of the people in the world had become zombies, and only a few survived. They hid in every corner of the world to resist, but how long could these people last? No one knows. Chapter 18 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Aaron became more and more anxious when he heard the situation outside. He did not dare to tell the truth to the others, afraid that they would lose hope. He kept encouraging the others every day, hoping that they could last one more day. This was the only thing that Aaron could do as the student council president. But soon, a very harsh thing was placed in front of Aaron. They did not have enough food! Even if Aaron had collected a lot of food in the beginning, it was still not enough. There were originally more than a hundred people in the school building. No matter how much food there was, it would still be eaten up. And the food on the surface had already been gone three days ago. Some people might still have hidden the food, but they would definitely not share it with others. In the apocalypse, there was more food, so there was more possibility of survival. In the face of life-threatening danger, everyone was selfish. It was understandable that everyone wanted to survive. However, some people had already fainted from hunger. They knew that they would die if they stayed here any longer. Even if they didn¡¯t die at the hands of zombies, they would starve to death sooner or later. The starving students repeatedly asked Aaron to leave the school building and go out to look for food. But only Aaron knew that it might be more dangerous outside. He was determined not to let any students leave, but he had no way to get food. He had previously let some students leave the building and go to the cafeteria to look for food, but there were too many zombies outside. They went to the cafeteria and never came back. The only way they could get food was also gone. The rest of the students felt hopeless. They began to doubt Aaron and no longer trusted him. They secretly spread rumors, thinking that the army had taken control of the situation outside and that Aaron was still imprisoning them. The number of students supporting Aaron was also decreasing. Finally, last night, the conflict broke out. The students who didn¡¯t trust Aaron struggled together, and they rushed out together. They wanted to escape the campus under the cover of the night, but they didn¡¯t expect the zombies at night to be crouching over them. Although they didn¡¯t encounter any zombies at first, when they arrived at an empty place, the zombies swarmed over, they killed all the students. It was also because these students wanted to leave that they destroyed a part of the defense, creating a loophole in the original teaching building. The pillar of the gate was destroyed. Those people wanted to prove that they were right. Not only did they escape, but they also wanted to destroy the defense of others. However, they didn¡¯t expect that zombies already had some intelligence. As soon as they went out, they were ambushed and lost the chance to survive. The remaining students in the teaching building were also in danger because of their recklessness. The zombies quickly attacked as well. They attacked like an army, as if they knew the gap in the castle and launched a fierce attack. Just when the building was about to fall, a mysterious person blocked the entrance and blocked all the zombies that were attacking, which shocked all the students. There was actually someone who could fight against zombies! This was not one or two zombies, nor one or two hundred zombies, but one or two thousand zombies! They did not know what fear was, so they rushed toward the door without caring about anything else. Hades was like a god of war, holding an exaggerated long knife in his hand. No matter how many zombies came, they would be blocked in front of the door. However, Aaron had a quarrel with another person, the vice president of the Student Union, Derena. ¡°President, you should let him in! If he stays outside alone, he will be swallowed by the zombies sooner or later. There are too many zombies outside!¡± ¡°I know, but if we open the door now, the zombies will follow him in. Then, our entire teaching building will be finished!¡± ¡°He can block so many zombies, so he can enter in time. You can¡¯t just watch him stay outside the door, right? Isn¡¯t our Student Union supposed to ensure the safety of our students? Right now, there are still students outside. We should open the door, let him in, and stand guard with me.¡± ¡°No, absolutely not.¡± ¡°Why not?¡± ¡°There are too many zombies outside. He can still block them. If he opens the door and the zombies swarm him, he can¡¯t block them. We can only support him upstairs. We absolutely can¡¯t open the door!¡± ¡°This is against humanity, president!¡± ¡°This is not the time to be humane in this world.¡± ¡°I cannot accept this kind of behavior. I have to open the door for him!¡± ¡°If you open the door for him, then I can only send you out too!¡± Aaron threatened Shalor. He had to guard this place. There were 57 people in the teaching building. He absolutely could not give up the lives of 57 people for one person. Hades, who was outside the door, didn¡¯t know about the argument in the room. Hades was still waving his knife, killing the zombies that were approaching. After those zombies were killed, they dropped countless attribute points. However, he didn¡¯t have time to pick them up because there were too many zombies. They couldn¡¯t be counted, and he couldn¡¯t kill them all. Hades waved his knife tirelessly. Whenever a zombie came forward, he would kill one zombie. He couldn¡¯t let any zombie walk through the door. The more he killed, the more zombie corpses piled up like a small hill. The blood on his body also became more and more. It was the blood of zombies, and there were countless zombie corpses around him. The students who were watching from upstairs widened their eyes. They couldn¡¯t believe that one person could kill so many zombies. No matter how many zombies rushed at him, they would all be killed by Hades. How powerful was this man? Everyone wanted to see his limit. However, these students also knew that Hades was only one person. Sooner or later, he would lose his defense. Meanwhile, the students were also at the window, trying their best to cover for Hades. They shot crossbows, threw sharp javelins, and threw heavy objects like tables and chairs, all of these were to slow down the zombies¡¯ attack. Hades was also very grateful. At this moment, he suddenly heard a sound: ¡°Ding! You have received a Red Packet: Encyclopedia Search!¡± Chapter 19 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Encyclopedia Search? What¡¯s the use of that? After hearing Hades¡¯s question, the system immediately answered: ¡°Encyclopedia Search is equivalent to an encyclopedia. The host can search for the answer through the system directly.¡± Isn¡¯t this Google? Hades thought that after the apocalypse, generating electricity would be very difficult, not to mention internet services. The technology companies in Silicon Valley were most likely paralyzed. After the power was no longer available, internet services also stopped. Even if the power could be reconnected in the future, Google¡¯s servers would definitely not be turned on again. The Internet class was a collection of countless human wisdom. It would be a pity if it disappeared just like that. However, in the Red Packet, Hades actually opened up a google-like encyclopedia of information. This also meant that Hades had all the knowledge of mankind from ancient times to modern times, but this knowledge did not exist in his mind. But as long as he wanted to search for it, he could search for it in the system at any time. This also saved Hades the time to study. In the future, as long as he wanted to know something, he could simply search for it. Although before the end of the world, people could obtain knowledge through Google Search. But after the end of the world, Google also disappeared. So now, in the entire human race, only Hades had the most advanced knowledge base. This would become the tinder for humanity to rebuild their civilization. Hades felt that he had a great responsibility. After obtaining this knowledge, he wanted to make good use of it. However, he did not need to search for more information at the moment. When he reached the gathering place, this knowledge would play a very important role. Now, Hades once again opened his interface and looked at his attributes: ¡°Hades (mortal) Strength: 176 Agility: 123 Vitality: 110 Intelligence: 154 Perception: 189 Charm: 105 Weapon: Tiger Tooth Blade, Fire Patterned Dagger Critical rate: 10% Item: Strength Pill.¡± The Encyclopedia of information did not appear because it was already part of the system. As long as Hades wanted to search, the system would automatically search for him. This made Hades very happy. All of his attributes exceeded 100, which gave him a qualitative increase. Although he was still a mortal, he felt that ordinary people were no longer a match for him. Unfortunately, when his attributes exceeded 100, the additional attribute points he gained were basically 0.1. It seemed that if he wanted to gain more attributes and kill more powerful zombies, he would have to kill too many zombies if he wanted to rely on these zombies to become stronger. It would be too tiring. However, no matter how little attributes the zombies dropped, they were still attributes. Hades killed zombies while picking up his attributes. He killed the zombies with more vigor, hoping to get some good items. However, he didn¡¯t get any more items or red packets after killing the most basic zombies. Hades was a human being after all. No matter how strong he was, he didn¡¯t have an endless amount of strength when facing the tide of zombies. He didn¡¯t know how many zombies he had killed, but his arm gradually became numb. He couldn¡¯t keep it anymore, or else he would be eaten by those zombies. ¡°Open the door! I need to go in!¡± Hades shouted at the people in the building. However, the people in the building were indifferent. They didn¡¯t have any intention of opening the door. Aaron had already given the order. No one could open the door without his consent. Because they could still guard the door. If they opened the door and let the zombies in, they would definitely die. Hades was very powerful, but he was only one person. If all the students in the building were eaten by zombies because he entered the building, it would not be worth it. Aaron also had his own considerations. It was because Hades was very powerful that he could not open the gate. After the zombies invaded the building, with his ability, it was very easy for him to escape, but it was almost impossible for others to escape. Aaron couldn¡¯t believe that Hades would protect everyone. After the apocalypse, he had been betrayed. Some people had escaped from the school building, which led to a flaw in his fortress. Otherwise, the zombies wouldn¡¯t have gathered so easily. If those people hadn¡¯t left, the zombies wouldn¡¯t have been attracted. Aaron trusted his judgment. He felt that he wasn¡¯t wrong. He was the president of the Student Union. He had the right to rule over everyone. Therefore, he could not open the door. Once he opened the door, his rule and authority would be challenged. He had to maintain enough authority to make everyone obey him. ¡°Strengthen the defense!¡± Aaron did not plan to open the door. Instead, he wanted to strengthen the defense behind the door. He ordered the students to move more heavy objects. He used wooden boards and nails to nail the door, preventing any zombies from entering. If it was the old Hades, he might not have noticed the movement inside the door. But he was completely different now. With his 189 senses, he could completely sense what the students were doing behind the door. Not only did they not open the door, but they strengthened the door¡¯s defense. They had already made a decision to let Hades stand guard outside the door, not to open the door or come out to support. This made Hades feel very cold. Why did he come out to protect these people? Not only did these people not want to help him, but they wanted him to sacrifice himself. Hades felt a little angry. He was here to save these people. From yesterday, the people in the school building did not let Hades in, until now, Hades was helping them block the zombies. They had never trusted Hades. They just wanted to use him. Hades thought, ¡®Since you won¡¯t let me in through the gate, I¡¯ll have to find a way to go up by myself.¡¯ Hades waved his Saber, forcing the zombies in front of him back. Then, he looked at the windows of the building. Some students were shooting weak bolts at the windows. However, the bolts were almost useless against the zombies. Hades shouted, ¡°Get out of the way!¡± Hearing Hades¡¯s shout, the other students didn¡¯t know what he was going to do. However, in the next second, all of them were shocked. Hades jumped up to the height of three stories and entered the teaching building! Chapter 20 No one expected Hades to be able to jump to the height of a three-story building. Not only were the people in the school building shocked, but the people in the cafeteria were also shocked. The cafeteria was not far from the school building. The people there were also defending, so they could see what was happening outside from the second floor. When they saw Hades blocking the entrance alone and killing countless zombies, they were also cheering for this brave kid. However, they didn¡¯t have the courage to challenge zombies. As more and more zombies appeared, they could see that Hades¡¯s speed of killing zombies was getting slower and slower. Many people felt that he might not be able to hold on any longer. They also thought that if even such a powerful person couldn¡¯t hold on, who could stop zombies. They all thought that Hades had died just like that. The school building should be opened so that Hades could hide in it. However, the teaching building did not move at all. There was no sign of wanting to help Hades. Many people thought that Hades was finished. However, no one thought that Hades was not dead! He had surpassed the limits of human beings. Without relying on any equipment, he jumped onto the teaching building. This was simply unbelievable. Even if he was an athlete, it was impossible for him to jump to that height. Why was this so? Why didn¡¯t they find such a strong person like Hades when they were in school. He could kill zombies as easily as chopping vegetables. He could jump to a height of ten meters with one jump. Such a talent was actually hidden in the school? Of course, there were also some people who thought that the end of the world had given Hades some kind of benefit, which allowed him to obtain a powerful ability. Many people began to think about how they could obtain a powerful ability like Hades. Many people began to worship Hades, thinking that he was the Savior. And Hades would definitely come to save them! ¡°His name is Hades, I know him! I¡¯ve taken the same class as him!¡± There were already people who recognized Hades. When people mentioned Hades¡¯s name, some people also thought about it carefully, as if in their memories somewhere, they stored this unknown name. Before the apocalypse, this person was just like a piece of trash. He wasn¡¯t good at sports or grades, and he was bullied by others. He could even be said to be a punching bag for senior students, the kind that had to be beaten every day. However, was this Hades, who had blocked all the zombies by himself, really the same Hades from before? That was impossible. It was too unbelievable. Hades¡¯s appearance was different from before. The skinny student from before now had muscles and a strong body. Perhaps only his face was the same as Hades¡¯s. Other than that, it was completely different! ¡°Hades!¡± ¡°Hades!¡± However, some people who didn¡¯t know Hades before felt that Hades had always been this strong. They believed that Hades would come to save them, maybe even the government army, and they sent Hades to save them. This was their only hope to survive. In a desperate situation, people always think about what they can catch. The more desperate they are, the more they want to get hope, no matter how false and weak that hope is. But as long as there is hope, people can live, no matter what they can tell themselves in their hearts, to live. At this moment, Hades had become their hope. That was why they shouted Hades¡¯s name. Unfortunately, they were still too far away from Hades. Downstairs, there were zombies, and those zombies were roaring. The scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere made Hades focus on fighting with the zombies. He didn¡¯t even notice who was shouting his name. When he was in danger, he jumped into the teaching building. Everyone thought that this was a miracle. How could a normal person jump to such an insane height! This must be the miracle of Jesus, giving Hades strength! Hades jumped into the teaching building, and everyone else took a step back in fear. Aaron was even more shocked. He didn¡¯t expect Hades to jump into the building. He told the others not to open the door. He thought Hades would die outside the door, so he dared to do that. However, when Hades didn¡¯t even walk into the building, Aaron felt scared. All of them combined might not be a match for zombies, let alone Hades who could defeat zombies alone. In other words, Hades alone could defeat all the students in the building. No one in the building was a match for him. Aaron realized that he must not offend Hades, and he must not let him know that he was the one who didn¡¯t open the door. So, Aaron went up to him and smiled, ¡°Classmate, thank god you helped us block the zombies! I thank you on behalf of the Student Union and the entire school!¡± If it was before, Hades might have been fooled by Aaron¡¯s hypocritical smile and words. However, with his current intelligence and perception, he could instantly sense Aaron¡¯s hypocrisy. He was sure that Aaron had asked someone to close the door and prevent Hades from entering. Although everyone wanted to protect themselves during the apocalypse, this made Hades feel a little disappointed. Since that was the case, Hades didn¡¯t need to be polite with him. ¡°Are you the president of the Student Union?¡± Hades vaguely remembered Aaron. As the president of the Student Union, he had some reputation among the students. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m Aaron. Are you a member of the Student Union?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m not a member of the union. I¡¯m just an ordinary student.¡± Aaron was stunned when he heard that. You¡¯ve defeated so many zombies, and you¡¯re still an ordinary student? Then what are we? Chapter 21 - Loyalty Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Good, good. If there¡¯s anything you need our help with, we will definitely help if we can.¡± Aaron knew that he must not easily offend Hades at this time, or the consequences could be very serious. This president of the Student Union was indeed a person of shrewdness. His words were polite, as if the matter of him forcing the door to close did not exist. He immediately turned his face and kindly assured Hades. Seeing Aaron like this, Hades could not fly into a rage. As the saying went, one should not hit a smiling face. On the surface, Aaron did not want to do anything to Hades, and Hades could not fly into a rage at this time. But Hades remembered Aaron as a person. He must have a good mind, but such a mind could not be hidden in front of Hades. Aaron also knew that Hades must have sensed something. When he was stared at from the very beginning, he had a feeling that he had been seen through. But Aaron was very smart. He offered to help Hades, making it difficult for Hades to mention closing the gate. Hades thought for a moment. ¡°I want to know, how long has Julia left the school building? Is she in the cafeteria or has she left the campus?¡± He still thought about Julia, the girl he loved. Because many people had tried to rush out of the school last night and were eaten by zombies, he was not sure if Julia was among them. There were too many zombies, so he wanted to know about Julia¡¯s situation. ¡°Julia?¡± Aaron recalled, ¡°I remember now. Three days ago, Julia went to the cafeteria with a group of people. We know that there are some in the cafeteria and there is enough food there. But after the apocalypse, all the electronic devices are useless. So I sent Julia to communicate with the survivors in the cafeteria, hoping that they can give us some food.¡± ¡°Did Julia come back after she went to the cafeteria?¡± ¡°No, she went to look for food, but she didn¡¯t come back. We have no news either, but she might still be in the cafeteria.¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Hades nodded, and then patted Aaron¡¯s shoulder heavily. ¡°Thank you, I will remember you.¡± Hades¡¯s current strength was not to be taken lightly. This time, as Hades patted Aaron¡¯s shoulder, Aaron felt as if a small mountain was pressing down on him, directly forcing him to sit down. Hades did not use his full strength. He only patted Aaron lightly. He knew that if he used his full strength, Aaron¡¯s entire arm would be broken. He was not that cruel. This was just a warning to Aaron. However, such strength still made Aaron feel a sharp twang of pain, as if his arm was indeed broken. Although Aaron felt pain, he still smiled and asked, ¡°Are you going to the cafeteria to look for Julia?¡± ¡°Yes, I will leave immediately.¡± ¡°Well¡­ can I ask you to stay? We need your protection here, or you can take us with you.¡± Aaron also knew that if they continued to guard the school building, they would be attacked by zombies sooner or later. They had no food or water. They could only hold on for two or three days at most. Without zombies, they would starve to death. Hades was their only hope, because he could defeat so many zombies. Judging from the equipment on him, he must have searched the entire campus before coming here. Although there were many zombies outside, Hades might be able to bring food to survive. ¡°I can take you away, but only after I find Julia.¡± ¡°Thank you so much. I have one more request¡­ that is, we don¡¯t have enough food and water. If you have extra food and water, can you give us some?¡± Hades frowned. After all, he was alone and had limited things to carry. He gave some of the food in the backpack to Hayley and ate some himself. There seemed to be a lot. However, there were more than thirty people in the school building. The food was only enough for one meal. Hades¡¯s food could be enough for one person, but it was not enough for everyone. However, seeing these hungry people, Hades could not bear to see them starve to death. Those people had already regarded Hades as their savior. ¡°I will give half of the food and clear a path downstairs. I will attract the attention of the zombies. You have to find an opportunity to leave the school building and find food in the supermarket. The food there should be enough for everyone¡­¡± ¡°Really, that¡¯s great!¡± Aaron said happily. ¡°But I have one condition,¡± Hades said. ¡°Just say it.¡± ¡°I will give you half of the food now, but you must listen to my orders. I will lead you to survive. Now, the outside world is a world of zombies. This world has become an ownerless land. There are a lot of food, supplies, weapons¡­ these things no longer have owners. It¡¯s first come first serve.¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Aaron also knew the situation outside. He also hoped that a powerful person could lead everyone. The world had already changed. Whether it was houses or money, the things that were produced in the original world now had no owners. Whoever could get them would get them! This world would also return to its most primitive state, where the strong were respected! Only the most powerful people were qualified to have everything! ¡°If I, as your leader, need you to listen to my orders, then from now on, you can not go against my words. I need to take half of the spoils of war, whether it be food or other things, and I will protect you.¡± When Hades made this condition, everyone was a little surprised. Wasn¡¯t this the same as the feudal lords in the past? The lords provided protection to their subordinates, while the subordinates provided food to the Lords in exchange for protection. As the modern era of freedom, this kind of simple treaty was difficult to accept. Aaron quickly understood everything. He ignored the strange gazes of the others and knelt down on one knee like a knight. ¡°I swear allegiance to you, Lord Hades!¡± Chapter 22 - Challenging the Zombie Army Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Hades walked to the cafeteria, blade in hand. Besides saving Julia, he has another goal, which is revenge. He still can¡¯t forget the scene when the football team kicked him out of the dorm. Bossel. He is the captain of the football team, and he controls all the people in the dorm building. He sends others to find food and give it to him and his football team. And he himself enjoyed the benefits in the dormitory building. The others didn¡¯t dare to resist him because he had the football team and his players. When they were together, no student dared to challenge their authority. They could take the lives of others at will, and use zombies to threaten those who didn¡¯t obey. The whole apocalypse seemed to become their paradise, so that some people who had power before the end of the world, could rule over the weak and exploit them. It was a pity that they didn¡¯t have guns on campus. Otherwise, they couldn¡¯t let these evil people get their hands on guns. Otherwise, they would do whatever they wanted. Even Hades was afraid of guns. He knew that he was very strong now, but only compared to ordinary people and zombies. He was still afraid of guns. The penetrative power of bullets could easily rip through Hades¡¯skin. He felt that it would take over a thousand attributes to be able to resist the bullet. Hades didn¡¯t want to die or get injured so easily, so he had always been cautious. But Hades still wanted to take revenge. He couldn¡¯t let Bossel go, and Bossel was in the cafeteria now. He should be trapped in the cafeteria, and there were many zombies outside. No one had the chance to walk out of there. He did not have the patience to wait any longer, because Bossel was probably the strongest person in the entire academy apart from Hades. Who knew what he would do next? He had already sacrificed some innocent people. Those people acted as a cover for Bossel and his football players to open the dormitory building and walk into the cafeteria. Hades did not know the situation inside the cafeteria. Once Bossel relied on his football team to take control of the cafeteria, he was very likely to coerce others into doing something serious. Bossel was someone who ignored the lives of ordinary people. He would not value the lives of others, as he only cares about his own. Therefore, Hades had to go to the cafeteria at this moment. Not only for revenge, but also to clear the zombies there and rescue all the people inside the cafeteria. Hades had a Saber Tooth Blade and a Titanium Shield. These were the only equipment he had during the apocalypse. He had to rely on these two equipments to fight his way out of the Zombie Army. There were at least thousands of zombies gathered outside the school building and the cafeteria. Some of the students that tried to escape last night were eaten, infected, and stood up again as zombies. Those zombies that died not long ago also became new zombies under the infection of the zombies. However, no matter how many zombies there were, Hades was still fearless. He used his shield to block the front while holding his machete with his other hand and rushed into the zombie crowd. However, he also saw from the observation that the cafeteria was not only an entrance to the main entrance, but also a side entrance to the south. Hades felt that he had a lot of experience fighting zombies after the previous battles. He was able to block the zombies¡¯ attacks alone in front of the main entrance of the school building. Now that he was more agile and had a shield in his hand, any attack from the zombies would land on the shield. Every single attack from him could accurately cut off the zombies¡¯ heads or stab into their hearts. After many battles, Hades became even stronger. Those who couldn¡¯t kill me would only make me stronger. This sentence was used to describe the current Hades. He was able to withdraw in time when faced with danger. He didn¡¯t fight to the death. After accumulating experience and resting, he would only become stronger than before. Hades charged into the zombie crowd like a god of war. He was like a sharp bayonet, splitting the zombie army into two halves. His actions were witnessed by the students in the dormitory and cafeteria. They couldn¡¯t help but exclaim in their hearts, ¡®this is too strong!¡¯ One person could actually challenge an army of zombies. They were as fragile as paper in front of Hades and were easily torn apart. If most of them had seen the horror that zombies bring about, they would also think that these zombies were very weak. However, after experiencing the apocalypse for so many days, they were very clear about the power of zombies. These undead armies didn¡¯t need any food and didn¡¯t feel any pain. They were always in a predating state, agile and powerful. After the zombies were reborn, they were much stronger than the living ones. There was no fear in their eyes. Even if there were traps and blades in front of them, they didn¡¯t care. They would only rush forward and tear every living person into pieces. Those students were also driven to a corner by zombies. If one of them could defeat zombies, they would have already rushed out together. However, there were too many zombies. At least 80% of the people in the entire academy had turned into zombies. Plus, they were going to be infected later on, so only a few people survived. Zombies were not only stronger than ordinary people, but they were also more numerous than these people. This was also the reason why so many people felt despair. However, the people who felt despair did not include Hades. Hades¡¯s appearance was like the savior in the myths. He fought against a group of zombies alone and even successfully fought his way out. In the eyes of the students, it was no exaggeration to say that this was no different from Moses¡¯s great power when he opened the Red Sea. The students believe that Hades can work miracles, no, what Hades is doing now, is already a miracle. The students are shouting for Hades, and think that he is the hero who can save everyone here. Chapter 23 - Entering the Cafeteria Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Hades had killed countless zombies along the way, and those zombies had also dropped dazzling attribute balls. Ever since Hades¡¯s attributes had broken through 100, the attribute points of ordinary zombies were almost negligible. However, Hades had killed hundreds of zombies, and the attributes that these zombies had dropped also helped his attributes increased by dozens of points. ¡°Bronze Treasure Chest + 1!¡± ¡°Congratulations, you have obtained [ Hero¡¯s pose ] ! All attributes + 20!¡± While Hades was still fighting bravely, he suddenly heard the system¡¯s reminder. He looked at his attributes panel again: ¡°Hades (Hero¡¯s pose) Strength: 193 Agility: 152 Vitality: 139 Intelligence: 187 Perception: 190 Charm: 144.¡± From this moment onwards, Hades could no longer be considered an ordinary person. He had the disposition of a hero and was worshipped by others, thus obtaining this title. With the addition of Hero¡¯s pose, his attributes quickly reached 200. Hades had never thought that he would become a hero. Before he obtained the system, he was just an ordinary high school student who was bullied by Bossel. Now, he had become a hero. In the second-rate classrooms and cafeteria, there were already countless people standing there watching Hades. They were cheering and rooting for Hades. It was as if they were Hades, fighting on the behalf of everyone to kill those zombies. If they couldn¡¯t do something, they relied on others to do it. After the others completed the task, they could take credit for it Under everyone¡¯s fervent gazes, Hades became a hero. He was the hero that everyone was looking at. Hades had a completely different feeling. It was a kind of confidence, like a halo surrounding him. As a result, he became stronger, and the zombies could no longer stop Hades. Hades seemed to have unlimited stamina and strength and could kill any zombies that stood in his way. ¡°Bronze Treasure Chest Open: invisible backpack obtained.¡± The invisible backpack was like a large space, which store certain things. However, the backpack was invisible. The backpack was not actually on Hades¡¯back, but it could be taken out from the void. The space was about the size of a room that was more than ten square meters. Things could be put in or taken out at will. And only Hades could take things out and put things in. No one else could see it. Hades felt that the invisible backpack was quite useful. He had been carrying a hiking bag with a lot of food on it, which also affected his performance. Now that he had a space to store things, he could completely unbind it. He didn¡¯t have to worry about it. Hades immediately put all the things he had into the invisible backpack. Leaving only his weapon and shield, he rushed all the way to the side door of the cafeteria. The side door had been pushed halfway, and a group of zombies could be vaguely seen inside. There were zombies in the cafeteria! Hades didn¡¯t expect this, but after thinking about it, he understood the reason. Zombies had the advantage of being skilled. They didn¡¯t stop attacking the cafeteria, but spread out and attacked two places at the same time. In the school building, Hades was there to help them defend against the zombies. In the cafeteria, the zombies launched a fierce attack. In front of the entrance of the cafeteria, without Hades¡¯s help, the zombies had already broken in. Although not all of the zombies had entered, some of them were already inside the cafeteria, which was enough to mess up the students inside. Hades rushed all the way into the cafeteria, which had three floors. There were already many zombies wandering around on the first floor. Those zombies pounced on Hades as soon as they saw him. They had no memory at all. They just followed the scent of living people and attacked. No matter how many zombies Hades had killed outside, the remaining zombies wouldn¡¯t feel fear. Therefore, there was only one way to face the zombies, and that was to kill them! If he could kill one zombie, he would kill one more! Hades raised his shield to block the group of zombies. Then, he swung his sword and cut the zombies in two. The zombies pounced on him one after another. Without his bag, Hades could move more flexibly. He dodged the zombies¡¯ attacks with his body sideways. He turned around and chopped at the zombie¡¯s head. Half of the zombie¡¯s head was cut off. The dead zombies spurted blood that splattered the tables and chairs in the cafeteria. This place was where the students usually ate, but now, it was like hell on earth. There was blood and zombie remains everywhere, filled with the stench of blood and rot. Hades was already used to this. He killed every zombie coldly, making it impossible for them to come back to life. When Hades killed the zombies on the first floor, a voice suddenly came from upstairs: ¡°Save us!¡± It was the voice of a group of girls. Hades heard the girl¡¯s voice and looked up. It was on the second floor. The zombies had already gone up the stairs to the second floor, and they were chasing after the four girls. The goddesses were holding some benches and sticks in their hands to defend themselves. However, how could they be a match for the zombies. The zombies hadn¡¯t caught up to them yet. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t be able to resist the zombies¡¯ bite. In terms of physical and mental strength, even ordinary goddesses were no match for zombies. At this moment, it was too late for Hades to walk up the stairs to save the girls. He directly jumped onto the table, then jumped onto the second floor. He was very confident in his jumping ability. He had even jumped onto the teaching building, so the second floor of the cafeteria should be a piece of cake. Hades instantly jumped onto the second floor and stood in front of the girls. The zombies still rushed toward Hades, baring their fangs at him! Chapter 24 - Rich Second Generation Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio All the zombies pounced on him. Hades raised his Saber and slashed horizontally. The zombies were all cut in half and fell to the second floor. The girls expressed their gratitude to Hades as if they had been reborn. ¡°Where are the people here?¡± Hades asked. ¡°In a room inside,¡± the girl answered. ¡°How many more people are there?¡± ¡°About thirty¡­¡± ¡°Are you here to save us?¡± Another girl mustered up her courage and asked. ¡°I¡¯m here to save you. Now, take me to them.¡± Hades could save most of the people in the cafeteria, except for Bossel. He still couldn¡¯t let go of this hatred. He was the one who chased Hades out of the dorm and almost let Hades die. Although Hades could only have obtained the system¡¯s ability because he was chased out of the dormitory, he would never thank anyone for that. Because it was Bossel who forced him to leave. He didn¡¯t know that Hades could obtain the system, nor did he intend to make Hades stronger. He just wanted Hades to die. If Hades died, he would only laugh. Just because Hades did not die, he happened to survive and gain the ability of the system. So Hades would not be grateful to anyone, he would only be grateful to the system. He would not be grateful to anyone. And he would not have any good feelings for Bossel who chased him out of the dormitory. Because this person just wanted him to die. Hades was full of hatred for Bossel at the moment, so he would not let Bossel go so easily. However, Hades did not hate anyone else, so he would also help the others. The girls brought Hades to the kitchen. Many students relied on the corner of the kitchen to defend against the zombies. After walking in, a blonde student walked out and said to Hades, ¡°You¡¯re the student who killed the zombies outside the door? You¡¯re very good.¡± This blonde student was different from the others. The others¡¯ clothes were more or less dirty, and their school uniforms were also a little tattered. However, this blonde student was wearing a white suit, and even his hair was covered with hair gel. He seemed to be completely living in the world before the apocalypse. He was not affected by the threat of the end of the world, and he was still in the state he was in before. His clothes, his hair, and he did not look hungry at all. It seemed that this person, like Bossel, was relying on occupying other people to maintain his rule. Hades also had some impression of this person. He was probably the son of a rich man in the city, Mckay. His family group was extremely rich in the entire city. They allied with many financial groups and monopolized almost everything in the city. They were almost as rich as a country. As the heir of his family, Mckay. He was also a spendthrift at school. He didn¡¯t care about spending money at all because he was too rich. He had many lackeys by his side who wanted to follow this young master to gain benefits. Mckay¡¯s reputation was very bad before the apocalypse. He could be said to be an out-and-out bully. His favorite thing to do was to test the limits of humanity. He used to tempt people with money. One of the stories was that he had recruited a new guy as his underling. He made the new guy his chauffeur and gave him a lot of money. One day, while crossing the street, a pregnant woman was walking on the crosswalk. Mckay took out a million dollars and let the new student run over the pregnant woman. The new student was shocked when he heard about the million dollars. He hesitated and looked at the pregnant woman, not daring to drive over. But Mckay promised that he would get the best lawyer for him. He would not be convicted, and even if he was sentenced, his sentence would be reduced to a minimum of one or two years. Mckay raised the price to 10 million, and the freshman could not resist the temptation and crashed the car. The police quickly arrested the freshman, and in the end, he could not resist the pressure and confessed these things. But Mckay accidentally denied all the facts, and used the most powerful legal team to exonerate himself.. The result, of course, was that Mckay was acquitted, and the poor freshman could only spend the rest of his life in prison. The story was sensational. People didn¡¯t believe Mckay¡¯s lies, but his lawyers were so eloquent that Mckay was able to get away with it. That¡¯s the power of money. And when the end of the world came, Mckay just saw it as a game. He had two bodyguards in black, to keep him safe, and they took a room, and a lot of food and water. Mackay promised the two bodyguards enough money, and the bodyguards believed that Mackay could afford it, so they almost occupied the campus. After taking the strength of the bodyguards, they subdued the students who came here to take refuge, and made them work for free. They turned the cafeteria into a fortress to defend against zombies. At first, they thought that this was just an experiment by the military, and soon the army would come to the campus to wipe out all the zombies. However, as the days passed, the military still did not come. Everyone felt that the situation was not optimistic. Only Mckay was still living the life he enjoyed before the end of the world. He did not care about the situation at all. He was just a little angry. The internet was cut off, and he had nothing to do every day. He could only hang out with women who wanted to eat. Such days were very boring. He also wanted to get out of this damn campus as soon as possible. He wanted to go to his yacht and luxury club to enjoy the life of a rich man. He didn¡¯t want to hide in the corner of the cafeteria and eat the food from a few days ago. At this time, Hades appeared. Seeing that Hades was fully equipped and there were so many zombies outside, he came to the cafeteria. His father must have sent someone to save him. Mckay believed that his father would send someone sooner or later, but it was a little late. Moreover, Hades didn¡¯t seem to have a gun on him, which made Mckay a little disappointed. ¡°Take me out now.¡± Hades looked down on such a rich second generation. He snorted and kicked mckay¡¯s stomach, sending him flying. Chapter 25 - Bodyguards Defeated Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Hades had always been a weak and timid child. Before the end of the world, Hades had always been bullied wherever he went. His grades were okay, and because he only knew how to take pictures, people always asked him to take pictures for them, but he was never paid. As if this was the way things should be. Perhaps because of Hades¡¯s personality, he was always ordered around. Over time, he was not looked up to, and people thought Hades was a coward, a weakling. He would only listen to other people. But now Hades was completely different, he did not need to listen to anyone. Facing people he did not like before, he did not need to endure anymore. Mckay was kicked far away. This was the first time he had been beaten since he was a child. Even his father hadn¡¯t beaten him. Young Master Mckay had been beaten. He couldn¡¯t imagine it. The surrounding students were scared because Mckay had been bossing around since he took over the cafeteria. He didn¡¯t care about the others at all. He treated them like slaves. They also felt anger and resentment towards Mckay. However, because Mckay had two bodyguards, they didn¡¯t dare to say anything. They didn¡¯t even dare to attack Mckay. Mckay had taken all the food and weapons and also held back the attack of the zombies. That was why the others didn¡¯t dare to attack Mckay. Today, the zombies were about to break into the cafeteria. Some of the zombies had already come in from the outside, but Mckay and his security guards decided to hide. There were too many zombies outside. No one could defeat so many zombies, not even with guns. The students had no better way, so they could only pin their hopes on Mckay. However, everyone was panicking, until they saw Hades, who was killing zombies like a hero, through the window. Hades held a knife and a shield. He was fearless in the face of more zombies. He didn¡¯t have any weapons. He only relied on the knife in his hand, just like those superheroes in movies. He could defeat any enemy with only cold weapons. He seemed to know no fatigue and had endless strength. He hacked all the way to the cafeteria. He didn¡¯t expect that the moment he met Mckay, the Conqueror, he would kick him directly. This was simply venting his anger for the other students. However, they didn¡¯t dare to show it. After all, Hades was alone. His two muscular bodyguards were still there. When they saw Mckay being kicked aside, they were also shocked for a moment. Then, they immediately attacked Hades. Hades was completely different from the people who were ordered around. With his reaction speed and strength, it would be too easy for him to defeat these two bodyguards. Hades did not dodge. He just raised his hand and easily blocked the fists of the two security guards. The frists of the two security guards crashed onto a firm surface and felt as if they had hit a rock. Their own hands were hurt. Hades held their hands, but he did not let go. Instead, he held them tightly so that they could not break free. He tightened his grip on the bodyguard¡¯s hand. The sound of bones breaking could be heard. ¡°Ah¡­¡± the bodyguard screamed in pain. They were retired soldiers in the army. They could break a wooden stake with one punch. They were very professional bodyguards. Mckay spent a lot of money to let them protect him. They were also very responsible and professional. They had never let anything happen to Mckay. Even after the apocalypse, the zombies were no match for the two bodyguards. They protected him. Mckay found a safe place, occupied the cafeteria, and had enough food. They also took in the students who came here to build fortifications to resist the zombies. It could be said that they were very versatile bodyguards. However, they didn¡¯t expect Hades to suddenly attack Mckay. The speed of his kick was so fast that even professional bodyguards couldn¡¯t see his movements clearly. They only saw a shadow, and Mckay was kicked onto the table. He was undoubtedly seriously injured. The two bodyguards immediately panicked. They attacked Hades together, but the seemingly ordinary student easily blocked the attack. After blocking, they couldn¡¯t pull their hands out. One had to know that they could lift a car with their strength. But they were restrained by Hades and couldn¡¯t move. They couldn¡¯t believe how powerful this young kid was! Hades also shouted, ¡°Get lost!¡± The bodyguards were thrown to the sides. Their huge bodies crashed into the wall, causing the dust on the ceiling to fall down. ¡°I¡¯m not here to look for you. Where is Bossel?¡± Hades glanced at everyone here. He did not find Bossel. He knew that the reason he came to the cafeteria was to take revenge on Bossel. Some students saw that Hades could easily defeat Mckay, who had been bullying them, and quickly understood the situation. Hades was the one who could save them. He would soon become the new owner of this place. Those who knew Bossel among the students reached out their hands and pointed to another room. ¡°They are in there!¡± Hades nodded and walked in the direction that the students pointed to. It was a private room. Usually, it was not a place that students could enter. It was a room that was usually used by teachers to entertain other guests, so the room was very luxurious. Bossel was hiding in there. Mckay used to be the owner of this place, but since Bossel led a team of football players here, he and Bosell each occupied half of the cafeteria. Although Mckay¡¯s bodyguards were strong enough, there were only two of them. And Bossel had an entire football team. They directly occupied the general territory. They also negotiated with Mckay to get food and water to reach an agreement to protect mMkay and gain territory. Bossel agreed, but when Hades came, everything happened too quickly. Before Bothell knew what had happened, he had already been told his position by the students who usually bullied him. Everyone was waiting to see how Hades would teach Bossel a lesson. Chapter 26 - Found Bossel Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Hades searched all the way. Under the guidance of the other students, he found the room where Bossel was hiding. They locked the door. It seemed that they also knew that the zombies had attacked the cafeteria. However, they didn¡¯t plan on helping Mckay. They only wanted to protect their own people in their own territory. The agreements between them didn¡¯t have much effect. In the end, Bossel was just a selfish person who was not worthy of any trust. Hades knew what kind of person Bossel was. He knew that Bossel was hiding in this room. Without any hesitation, he kicked open the door. The moment the door was kicked open, the people inside were exposed. Bossel and his football players were hiding inside. Each of them was holding a steel rod and wearing the football players¡¯ protective clothing. When Hades appeared in front of them, they had no idea what was happening outside. They also didn¡¯t see how Hades killed zombies outside. ¡°Hades?¡± Bossel saw him again and showed a surprised expression. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to still be alive.¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. It¡¯s all thanks to you that I¡¯m still alive.¡± Hades¡¯s eyes were full of anger as he said that. He still couldn¡¯t forget that Bossel had driven him out of the dormitory building and left him to fend for himself while facing the zombie hordes outside. He came to the cafeteria to take revenge on Bossel. ¡°How dare you come back! Did you find a weapon? If you put down your weapon and give it to us, I can let you live.¡± Bossel had his eyes set on Hades¡¯s weapon, the Saber Tooth Blade and the Titanium Shield, even though he did not know how Hades got his hands on them. But he must have relied on these two weapons to survive in the outside world. In Bossel¡¯s eyes, this person was no different from the kid he had chased out of the dorm to find food for. He was only lucky to be alive until now. So Bossel was still arrogant. He stood up, picked up the steel rod in his hand, and tried to threaten Hades to give in. But could the current Hades still be threatened by him? ¡°I¡¯m giving you a chance. Get out of the cafeteria now, or I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Hades¡¯s cold tone was not a joke. His eyes were filled with killing intent. He came here to take revenge, to take revenge on Bossel for chasing him out of the dormitory building. The people around did not know why Hades was hostile to Bossel, but some of the students did. They whispered to each other and knew that Bossel was not a good person. He had to sacrifice other people to find food for himself. If he did not find food, he would chase that person out and let him die. Although the arrival of the end of the world was extremely cruel, most people still took the initiative to maintain the previous order. Although everyone wanted to live, they also had a minimum amount of dignity. They did not want much. They just wanted a mouthful of water and a mouthful of bread. However, there were those who were stronger and took over the food and resources that originally belonged to everyone. They thought that these resources were what they should have because they were stronger than others, and others could not compete with them! They were hostile to anyone who dared to oppose them. They would charge anyone who disagreed with them with the crime of ¡°Destroying unity¡± and dispose of that person at will. They ruled with terror, so that no one dared to speak their truth and could only obey. These lowest-class, weakest people could only do the most work, but could only eat the dirtiest bread. The students were furious. They felt that such people were even scarier than zombies. The human heart was evil, and many people exposed their humanity during the apocalypse. Perhaps human nature was evil, and everyone wanted to live selfishly. But they were even more angry at the injustice. Why were those people so high and mighty? It was the apocalypse Now, and everything was different. The rules would be remade. People who were far above them, with their money, expensive cars, and luxurious villas and yachts, could not increase their chances of survival. Unity was the only way to survive. However, some people wanted to be more selfish than others in unity. They did fewer things, but they wanted to obtain the most. Bossel was such a person. However, he was still unclear of the situation. He heard the discussions of the other students and felt very angry. He felt that Hades must have instigated them. As long as he killed Hades, the students would obey him again. ¡°Throw him out to feed the zombies!¡±Bosil said to his teammates. Hearing the captain¡¯s order, the football teammates rushed to Hades¡¯s side. ¡°Sorry, kid. Anyone who disobeys our captain¡¯s order will die.¡± In their eyes, Hades was still a skinny kid who only relied on his knife and shield. But facing so many football players, even the trained soldiers could not win the fight. One¡¯s strength was limited, in this case, the more people, the more advantages. But what they didn¡¯t expect was that Hades was different, completely different from before. His speed and strength were far beyond the imagination of the football players. He sidestepped and dodged the hands of the football players. But he did not pick up the blade to deal with the football players. He easily swung his fist and easily knocked a football player to the ground. The football players did not expect Hades to become so good at fighting after only one day. He defeated their teammates with only one punch. Chapter 27 - Golden Treasure Chest Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio These football players had gone through many years of training, and they all had their own tacit understanding. When they were together, they were much stronger than ordinary people fighting alone. If it had been yesterday, Hades would probably have been caught and beaten to death immediately. But today was completely different. Hades, who had an attribute point bonus, was already much stronger than them. Not to mention, he now had the bonus of being a hero. He was no longer an ordinary person, but a hero. In the eyes of the others, they only saw Hades move slightly and dodge the pincer attack of the football players. They did not even see Hades clearly. He had already bypassed the football players and arrived in front of Bossel. Those ordinary people could not stop Hades at all. Hades directly punched Bossel¡¯s stomach. Before he could react, he felt a fierce blow on his stomach. This was even more powerful than Mckay¡¯s kick. Bossel directly spat out blood and was sent flying. However, Hades still showed mercy. He was not that cruel and did not want to kill people here. He just wanted to teach Bossel a lesson, but the strength of this punch also caused Bossel to be seriously injured. At least half of his ribs would be broken. Without the timely treatment of a doctor, he would not be far from death. However, in such a chaotic world, it was extremely difficult to find a doctor to treat him. Hades felt that he had already shown mercy. If the other party still did not open his eyes, he would not mind killing him. The football players also felt afraid when they saw this. They could not keep up with Hades¡¯s speed at all, and they did not think that they were that powerful. They were all afraid and stayed where they were, not daring to move. After Hades defeated Bosil, attribute points and a golden treasure chest dropped near him! Hades almost forgot that attribute points would also drop when fighting. However, he did not expect that the treasure chest would drop after defeating Bossel. This was the first time he had seen a golden treasure chest. Even the items dropped from ordinary bronze treasure chests were so tempting, not to mention how powerful these golden treasure chests were. Hades walked in front of Bosil, wanting to pick up the treasure chest. However, the others thought that Hades walked in front of Bossel to kill him. When the football players saw that Hades was going to kill Bossel, they also rushed over and tried to stop Hades. However, they were no match for Hades. He just waved his hand lightly and sent the football players away. The big football players were thrown against the wall. Defeating them was as easy as crushing ants. The others were all intimidated. They did not expect Hades to defeat all the football players alone. This was not a power that humans could have. ¡°Wait!¡± Just as Hades was about to pick up the attributes and treasure chest, he heard a woman¡¯s voice. It was Julia. ¡°You have already taught them a lesson. Don¡¯t hurt their lives.¡± Julia was a kind person. Whether it was in the past campus or in the current Doomsday, she maintained her inner kindness. Although he didn¡¯t like the actions of some rich second generation and Bossel, she felt that they could be resolved in a non-violent and peaceful way. Because there were many zombies outside, they needed to be united and not fight each other. If the humans didn¡¯t even get rid of the zombies and started fighting among themselves, then the entire human race would be finished. Julia wanted to preserve hope for the human race. She couldn¡¯t bear to see any death, and she pitied anyone who was injured or starved. Because she knew that the real enemy of the human race was not their comrades, but the countless zombie armies outside. Therefore, Julia had always been doing the work of maintaining order. Her kindness and beauty had inspired many people, which was also the reason why many people here persisted. Many people secretly liked Julia, including Hades. He had taken many pictures of Julia, and from every angle, she was so beautiful. Now that it was the end of the world, she was still beautiful, but a little haggard. But when she saw that Bossel was about to die, she stood up. She could not let Hades kill Bossel. It was the law and principle of the old society that human beings didn¡¯t kill their own kind unless it was absolutely necessary. It was the law and order that human beings had developed over millions of years. If a person could kill people as he pleased,. They would be like the violent kings of ancient times. They would lose their humanity in the power of their own will. They would go further and further down the wrong path. That was why Julia stood out. She hoped that Hades would let Bossel go, because with his current strength, there was no need for him to kill Bossel. If he killed Bossel, it would only make the desire to kill in his heart even more fanatical. ¡°I don¡¯t intend to kill him. I just want him to leave, just like what he did to me. Bossel, including his football teammates, should leave this place. They don¡¯t deserve to stay in a safe place. If they want to live, they should rely on themselves, not enslave others.¡± A football player walked out and said, ¡°If you chase us out, there will be zombies outside. What¡¯s the difference between this and letting us die? ¡°We don¡¯t have food or water. We will die sooner or later outside. What¡¯s the difference between this and you killing us with your own hands?¡± ¡°That¡¯s your business. This world only allows the strong to survive, right? This is also what Bossel said. Let him fulfill his words now. Get out. I¡¯ll only say it once!¡± No one dared to refute Hades¡¯words. Everyone saw his strength. There was a deep killing intent in his words. The football players also retreated. They had already challenged Hades, but they were not his opponent. These people also carried Bossel on their shoulders and left, not daring to appear in front of Hades again. Chapter 28 - Evolution Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After Bossel was carried away, he also dropped quite a number of attribute balls and a Golden Treasure Chest. Hades did not hesitate and picked up all the attributes as well as the Golden Treasure Chest. ¡°Strength + 6!¡± ¡°Agility + 6!¡± ¡°Charm + 8!¡± This guy even dropped more attribute points than zombies, which made Bossel very surprised. However, the best thing was the Golden Treasure Chest! He was looking forward to what good things he could get after opening the Golden Treasure Chest. ¡°Opening the Golden Treasure Chest!¡± ¡°You have a chance to evolve! Please complete the evolution as soon as possible. During the evolution process, there will be some side effects! Please note that during the evolution process, if you are disturbed, you will fail!¡± Hades was both surprised and happy. The Golden Treasure Chest was indeed extraordinary. He just did not know how the evolution would turn out. However, in the apocalypse, the first thing to do was to make himself stronger. However, this evolution had side effects. He just did not know what the side effects would be. And once he was disturbed, he would evolve, which made Hades even more troubled. He was in the cafeteria now, and there were zombies everywhere. Moreover, there were students around him. Hades didn¡¯t know what they were thinking. Mckay and Bossel¡¯s people didn¡¯t go far. If they saw anything strange about him, there was no guarantee that they wouldn¡¯t make a comeback. Hades suddenly felt some changes in his body. The muscles that were not obvious before suddenly began to swell up, and blue veins appeared on his head. The strength that filled his entire body swept over him. He clearly felt that he was becoming stronger. This incomparably inflated power made Hades feel a little uncomfortable. Hades vaguely felt as if an even greater power was coming. That power rampaged through his body. It was like finding an outlet to vent. With evolution imminent, Hades felt that this was really not the time. Because such a powerful force was mercilessly washing through his entire body. His bones and blood vessels felt pain, and his brain began to feel pain. It was as if a seed was sprouting in his head, and it wanted to drill out. Hades¡¯s shoulders were trembling slightly. He was in pain. However, there were still many students around him. He did not dare to show anything strange. He could only say to the others, ¡°Stay away from me. No one is allowed to follow me!¡± The others thought that Hades was angry and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you were going to save us?¡± ¡°I will save you, but not now. There are still many zombies outside. Find a safe place to hide and wait for me to defeat all the zombies before you come out.¡± Julia couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Can you defeat all the zombies? There are many of them. You can¡¯t kill all of them by yourself. We can come and help you.¡± ¡°No, you can¡¯t help me much. I need you to hide in a safe place. People bitten by zombies will become new zombies. I don¡¯t want to become a zombie like that. That will only increase my burden.¡± The other students were shocked. Was this the Big Boss? When Mckay and his security guards occupied this place, they had asked the ordinary students to go up and defend while they hid in the back, safe and sound. Now that all the zombies had come, they hid in their small rooms and didn¡¯t come out, leaving the other students to fend for themselves. All the students thought that it would be difficult for them to fight against zombies. But unexpectedly, Hades told them to find a place to hide and kill all the zombies by himself. Hades didn¡¯t pay attention to the others. The most important thing for him now was to successfully evolve, so he didn¡¯t care about the surprised looks of these people and directly walked downstairs. When Hades looked at the stairs, he found that there was a gap between the first and second floor. There were more zombies there, so most people didn¡¯t dare to come over. It was safer. For the current Hades, he was no longer afraid of ordinary zombies. The strength and speed of those zombies were insignificant compared to him. More importantly, ordinary zombies were brainless. No matter how they wanted to attack Hades, Hades had a way to defeat them quickly. However, humans were different. Although they were not as strong as zombies, if a person wanted to harm you, he would do everything he could to harm you and achieve his goal. Hades was very vigilant against humans. Over the years, Hades had seen too many ugly faces. They had bad intentions, and their hearts were sinister. Their human nature was depraved, even worse than a mindless zombie. Therefore, Hades did not dare to expose himself in front of others. He had to learn how to hide, so that he could walk longer. This was also the experience that Hades had gained after the apocalypse. Humans were not to be trusted. Even if they were the sanctimonious teachers before the apocalypse, they were still people who were already full of evil. The apocalypse had magnified the evil side of human nature. Hades only believed in the Saber Tooth Blade in his hand. He came to the entrance of the first floor. There was an iron door that blocked the other zombies. As long as the zombies hid inside, they would not be able to get in. Hades found some metal chairs to block the entrance. Those zombies did not have intelligence. They only knew how to squeeze forward and slam the iron door. However, it was completely useless. Even if the metal door was bent, there were a lot of metal tables and chairs behind it. It was impossible to break it open. Hades was observing the situation, but the other survivors on the second floor looked at each other. They didn¡¯t know what Hades was going to do. He had just defeated Mckay and his group. Why did he run to the stairs on the first floor? ¡°What¡¯s wrong with him? Is he trying to open the metal door and let the zombies in?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so. He won¡¯t ask for trouble. That¡¯s no different from suicide!¡± ¡°It¡¯s impossible. Hades said that he wants to save us!¡± All kinds of speculations were spread around. No one knew what Hades was trying to do. Chapter 29 - Roar Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The football players who were preparing to leave also looked at what Hades was preparing to do. They did not believe that Hades could defeat so many zombies on his own! The other survivors had high hopes for Hades. They hoped that Hades could save them. ¡°Come, I¡¯m ready!¡± Hades said to the system. After saying that, Hades immediately felt as if his entire body was paralyzed by electricity, and he instantly became extremely weak. He couldn¡¯t even hold on to the Saber Tooth Blade in his hand anymore. The power in his body seemed to have been completely stripped away in an instant. He felt as if there was a heavy stone pressing down on his body. Fortunately, Hades¡¯s spiritual power was strong enough, so he could barely control his body and didn¡¯t fall down. ¡°Is this evolution? This is too painful¡­¡± Evolution was not just a simple statement. His evolution was an all-round evolution at the cellular level. Therefore, every inch of his bones, every cell, and every piece of his skin seemed to be torn apart as they began to grow and remodel. Those old cells died and new cells were born. The whole process was to discard all then old and useless organs and cells. The useful gene sequences were selected by the system and awakened from the gene pool. The gene sequences suitable for choosing the doomsday environment were excavated from the countless genes of humans and began to crazily absorb abilities. From the moment he was awakened, he was like a demon king, devouring everything he could see and all the abilities he could absorb. Hades had such an ability in his body. He was gathering the genes together and reorganizing Hades¡¯entire body. This was an extremely painful process because every cell in his body would be replaced by new cells. The pain was deep in his bones. It was as if there were countless steel needles piercing into his body from every surface layer. ¡°AH ¨C¡± Such intense pain caused Hades to let out an earth-shattering scream. The sound was heard clearly by the survivors in the cafeteria. They felt that Hades must have endured an extraordinary amount of pain, or else he wouldn¡¯t have let out such an intense scream. The glass cup on the table in front of his face shattered. Julia and the survivors were going to find a place to hide, but when they heard Hades¡¯scream, they stopped and wanted to look back. Were those zombies attacking? The others had similar thoughts. Mckay said happily, ¡°Good! It¡¯s good that he¡¯s dead. Even my father hasn¡¯t hit me. How dare he hit me? Even if he doesn¡¯t die now, I¡¯ll kill him in the future.¡± The people around were overjoyed. They thought it was best that Hades was dead. Even Bossel, who was severely injured, heard the shout. His eyes lit up with excitement. No matter what, as long as Hades was dead, no one could stop them. They would definitely become the dominators of the school. They would step on the rich second generation, sleep with the most beautiful women, and eat the best food. But Hades would never know what they were thinking. Hades felt as if there were thousands of needles stabbing into his body, into his skin, into his muscles, blood vessels, and his internal organs. He felt intense pain, as if he was being cut into a thousand pieces. He was in so much pain that he could not cry out. Every part of his body hurt, and it was difficult to alleviate the pain. However, his spiritual power allowed him to clearly feel every tiny change in his body. It was as if his brain was constantly exploding. His body was being torn apart at every moment, and the pain that he had experienced would have caused him to faint very quickly. However, Hades had obtained too much spiritual power. His will had become stronger, and it wasn¡¯t easy for him to faint so easily. However, this was also a part of evolution. Hades knew that he had to endure it. The entire process lasted for an unknown amount of time. It felt like a century. It also felt like a matter of two or three seconds. The pain suddenly disappeared like a receding tide. The bones in Hades¡¯s entire body emitted intense sounds. ¡°Ka-cha, Ka-cha, Ka-cha¡­¡± He didn¡¯t feel any pain anymore. The intense pain from before was like a dream. Now his body was full of vitality again, and he could move freely. He could clearly feel that he had evolved. His body was completely different from before, at least three times as strong as before. Hades felt that his body had endless power. Not only his muscles, but his bones, skin, and internal organs were also full of endless power. It was as if he was going to explode in the next second. Hades woke up from the excruciating pain. He opened his eyes abruptly, and saw endless flames burning inside. In the next second, he saw the zombies outside. Hades took out his Saber Tooth Blade from his backpack and roared furiously, ¡°Kill!¡± His voice shook the entire second floor, and even all the windows were shaking, almost breaking. Many survivors who wanted to see what Hades was doing did not have time to react. Their ears were ringing and their eardrums were almost broken. They squatted on the ground and covered their ears with their hands. Their faces were full of pain. Only Julia did not seem to have a reaction. She only frowned and her clothes swayed as if nothing had happened. When Mckay, Bossel, and the others heard this, they all screamed in horror and sat on the ground, their expressions changing drastically. When they heard this voice, no one dared to wish Hades any more harm. Everyone thought that Hades might not be an ordinary human anymore. He might have evolved into something even scarier than zombies! Hades didn¡¯t know what these people were thinking. He only felt an endless power in his body, and he wanted to use it. The zombies, in his eyes, had become as weak as ants. Chapter 30 - Fighting Together Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Hades picked up his Saber Tooth Blade and rushed out. The zombies that were stacked outside the door were cut into two halves as if they were vegetables. His blade was filled with a strong knife aura. He casually swung his blade and cut the zombies into two halves like mowing grass. At least twenty zombies were cut into two halves. Black blood spurted out from the zombies¡¯bodies, and the blood splashed out stained the entire cafeteria. Although there was an endless stream of zombies coming in from outside, they were all cut in half quickly. Hades felt that he couldn¡¯t hold back the power in his body. He needed to release it. Only after a few cuts did he feel better. He swung his blade even more unscrupulously to kill the zombies. With a leap, he jumped up high. Hades almost jumped to the top of the cafeteria. The survivors widened their eyes as they watched Hades jump. It was as if they were watching a movie. They felt that it was unbelievable. Hades became even more reckless, slashing at the zombie crowd. Julia was also watching from the second floor. Seeing that Hades could kill zombies so crazily and quickly, Julia felt that all his actions were against common sense. Was this person really human? Her eyes were filled with curiosity and doubt. What was this man thinking? Every time, it was unexpected. There were more survivors behind. When they heard the screams of zombies outside, their hands and feet were already weak. However, when they heard Hades¡¯angry roar, they instantly felt a surge of strength. When they came over to take a look, they were completely shocked. Hades stood alone in the middle of the cafeteria, holding a long blade in his hand. He turned into a harvester and cut down zombies in a frenzy. No matter how many zombies surrounded him, he could easily kill them. Those zombies were piled up into a small hill, and those zombies couldn¡¯t climb up for a while. Was he going to kill all the zombies here? ¡°He¡¯s too strong! Is this what we call a strong man?¡± ¡°Hades dared to attract the zombies and attack them on his own. We have so many people, but we only dare to stand on the second floor. It¡¯s so embarrassing!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be embarrassed! He seems to be taking us out! We might be able to escape soon! We don¡¯t need to stay in this lousy cafeteria anymore!¡± People took guesses at Hades¡¯s purpose and many expectations rose in their hearts. However, they only stood there talking, and no one really came to help. After all, it was easy to talk with your mouth, and if you really came to fight with the zombies, you¡¯d have to face death. Only Julia walked to Hades¡¯s side and said in a clear voice, ¡°If you have a weapon, give it to me. I¡¯ll kill the zombies with you!¡± She saw the ferocious zombies and the miserable look of death, and he was afraid. But a lowerclassman student who usually only knew how to take pictures could actually stand up and protect everyone at this time. He could be so brave, so what was there to be afraid of? Hearing Julia¡¯s words, Hades also turned his head to look at her and nodded at her. He took out the Fire-Patterned Dagger from his backpack and gave it to Julia. ¡°I hope you can survive. In this chaotic world, there are not many people who can still maintain a kind heart! Kill!¡± Julia finally saw Hades¡¯s face clearly. The muscles on his face and arms were expanding continuously, as if they were about to break free from his skin and burst out. Following an angry roar, Hades took his Saber Tooth Blade and jumped up, rushing into the zombie crowd. The Saber Tooth Blade in his hand burst out a roar like a fierce tiger, intimidating the other zombies. The students who didn¡¯t know the situation thought that a tiger had barged into the cafeteria, and they were so scared that they didn¡¯t dare to come out and look. The twenty or so zombies closest to Hades all had their heads removed and turned into corpses. Seeing this scene, Julia was very excited. She held the Fire-Patterned Dagger that she had just obtained and almost fell to the ground. A master! A true master! This might be the partner that she could rely on during the apocalypse. Julia made a decision in her heart. She took a deep breath, held the Fire-Patterned Dagger, and followed behind Hades. When the students on the second floor saw Hades and Julia rushing into the hall together, and they were all dumbfounded. Especially when they saw Julia¡¯s weak figure stepping on the hideous pile of corpses, the people felt a different kind of exquisite temptation. Hades seemed to have gone mad. He held the Saber Tooth Blade iin his hand and suddenly rushed to the lost squad. He wandered around the stairs on the first floor. The Saber Tooth Blade in his hand was like a tiger. Each slash would kill more than ten zombies. The zombies that people feared and the terrifying threat of death were nothing but trash in front of Hades¡¯s blade. He kept moving back and forth, killing the zombies. Only Julia, who was standing among the zombies and feeling sad, could see Hades clearly. The clothes on his body were almost torn apart, revealing his granite-like muscles, but there were no wounds at all. His strength was getting stronger and stronger, and his speed was getting faster and faster. The range of his movements was getting smaller and smaller. The zombies from all directions, hearing the sounds and smelling the scents, all gathered here. Julia found that Hades couldn¡¯t keep up. Sometimes, if one or two of them escaped, she would use her dagger to kill those zombies. Soon, countless zombie corpses piled up on the floor. Hades didn¡¯t expect that Julia was also so strong. Her body moved unpredictably, shuttling between the zombies. Although it was dangerous, she came out unharmed. The dagger in her hand moved methodically. The dagger was deadly, cutting off the zombie¡¯s neck with ease. Hades didn¡¯t know what she used to do. Of course, she couldn¡¯t kill zombies as fast as he could/ But Hades was still surprised. The two of them killed countless zombies together, and countless attribute balls fell on the ground. They were all full of attribute balls. As soon as he picked them up, Hades would become even more powerful. Chapter 31 - The Blade Broke Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio In Hades¡¯eyes, the dining hall on the first floor was covered like a canopy of light. Countless attribute light balls were falling everywhere, like meteors raining down. However, Hades didn¡¯t have time to absorb those attribute light balls. He already felt that he was extremely powerful. His muscles and bones seemed to have received sufficient nutrition, as if they were about to burst through his clothes. ¡°These zombies are simply endless. How can there be so many of them?¡± Hades saw that there were four Bronze Treasure Chests and two Red Packets on the ground and picked them all up. He didn¡¯t even know how many zombies he had killed. However, the attribute points of those zombies were nothing. The most important things were the Bronze Treasure Chests and the Red Packets. However, he didn¡¯t have the time to open them now. There were still many zombies in front of the gate. He had to complete his evolution. Facing Hades¡¯s madness, Julia was a little dumbfounded. She was already exhausted, pushed to her limits, but Hades was still lively and energetic, killing zombies without pause. Could it be that his promise was true? Was he really going to bring all the survivors out? Was this really possible? Julia followed him, but she didn¡¯t go out. Instead, she shouted at Hades¡¯s back: ¡°Hades, I¡¯ve used up all my strength. Close the door first!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Julia closed the door and stood inside with a dagger in her hand. She looked at the zombies in the cafeteria while observing the movements outside. Hades had already rushed outside. He could hear the roars and sounds of bones cracking from outside. Most of the zombies in the cafeteria had been killed. Only a few zombies were still active in the cafeteria, but Julia had taken care of those zombies herself. She wanted to kill those zombies one by one. Julia had never thought that she, a once-in-a-century genius, would practice martial arts. But in front of Hades, she was nothing. She didn¡¯t kill as many zombies as he did, her physical strength wasn¡¯t as strong as he was, and her spirit wasn¡¯t as resolute as his was. This was the first time in so many years that Julia felt that she was inferior to another in every aspect. The silence in the cafeteria on the first floor and Julia¡¯s loud shouts were clearly heard by the survivors on the second floor. They were so shocked that they swallowed their saliva, their eyes were blank, and their bodies were trembling! They were imagining the terrible scene outside. All the headless zombies were lying on the ground. Among the mountains of corpses and seas of blood stood a man and a woman, one in black and one in white. They relied on each other to kill the zombies. They were so tired that they fainted. They couldn¡¯t believe it. How could they kill all the zombies? There were more than a thousand zombies. Even if those were over a thousand pigs, they wouldn¡¯t have been able to kill them all. Furthermore, there was a limit to a person¡¯s stamina. However, these two people killed all the zombies within half an hour! How terrifying! Amidst the silence, the survivors heard the faint sounds of killing outside the window. Their hearts skipped a beat. ¡°This guy is too powerful!¡± When the survivors heard that there was no movement below, they felt extremely terrified. Now, Hades actually dared to charge outside the cafeteria. Wasn¡¯t he courting death? Mckay couldn¡¯t believe it. Hades was such an idiot. With his strength, he could completely take over this place, but he had to go out and kill zombies. Was it not good to guard this place? Those zombies outside would be cleaned up by the army sooner or later. What was the use of killing more zombies? Would one person kill more zombies than machine guns? ¡°Let¡¯s go! Let¡¯s go and see him! I don¡¯t believe that he can kill so many zombies alone!¡± Mckay¡¯s face was ashen. The stronger Hades was, the more dangerous he would be, and the more unbridgeable he would be. This man would definitely be pose a great threat in the future. All the students at the scene put away their imaginations and rushed to the window to look outside. They wanted to see if Hades had really killed so many zombies. They could see clearly that Hades was holding a long knife and hacking at all the zombies. Those zombies were no match for him at all, and he only killed so many people. Hades had lost his clothes a long time ago. He only had a knife and a shield. ¡°He¡¯s too powerful! There are so many zombies, even he can¡¯t get close to them!¡± ¡°He¡¯s so fast! My eyes can¡¯t keep up with him! How can a human be so fast? Is he a zombie? No! He¡¯s even scarier than a zombie!¡± ¡°He¡¯s also very powerful. Did you see that? With one slash, the zombie was cut in half and his bones were broken! How could he have such a sharp knife and such great strength!¡± When everyone saw Hades, they could not help but sigh. They felt that Hades was no longer a normal human being. He was a superhero. In the crowd, Mckay and Bossel¡¯s faces were ashen. They knew that they were no longer a match for Hades no matter what. They could only accept this. Hades was much stronger than them. As long as Hades wanted them dead, they could die at any time! In the opposite school building, the surviving students also saw Hades fighting. They clearly felt that Hades had become stronger, even stronger than when he was guarding the gate yesterday! The gazes of these people did not affect Hades¡¯s battle at all. His body was extremely strong, and he had the power to not play around. He was slaughtering the zombie crowd! However, while he was killing, he did not realize that the knife in his hand had a faint crack! He used all his strength and finally, the Saber Tooth Blade could no longer hold on! The Blade was broken! Hades was stunned. He did not expect that the weapon in the treasure chest would be broken! When Mckay saw this scene, he even gloated and shouted, ¡°Hahaha, you dare to hit me? You will die among the zombies!¡± He was so happy! But Bossel didn¡¯t say a word. He saw Hades killing those zombies in the zombie crowd, and had some thoughts. Julia, who was in the cafeteria on the first floor, saw that the blade in Hades¡¯s hand was broken, and her eyes suddenly widened. This was troublesome! Chapter 32 - Team Up Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After Hades¡¯s Saber broke, he immediately opened the Treasure Chest again. ¡°Bronze Treasure Chest opened! You have obtained the Fly-Spine Long Steel Spear!¡± ¡°Bronze Treasure Chest opened! You have obtained the Flood Dragon Spear Technique!¡± A new weapon appeared in front of Hades. He took out the long spear again and killed the enemy once more! He was extremely lucky this time. After his Saber broke, he immediately obtained a suitable weapon from the Treasure Chest, along with the spear technique. This way, his rhythm didn¡¯t break. After the blade was used, he immediately switched to the spear! This spear was very long¨Cat least four meters. However, it could also be adjusted to become a two-meter long spear. It was very suitable for killing enemies in a large area. In addition, Hades had just learned the spear technique, so he instantly mastered the technique of using the spear. He casually waved the long spear, sending all the zombies on both sides flying. He used the sharp spear at an extremely fast speed. The heads of the zombies all flew into the air, and black blood rose up! Hades flashed past, and the ferocious and evil heads fell to the ground along with a lot of black blood. Wherever his long spear swept past, it was like a bolt of lightning, and he killed more and more zombies. He was becoming more and more skilled in using his spear! The zombies who heard the noise and smelled the scent of living people gathered from all directions. They were much more powerful than before. Half an hour later, all the zombies were turned into headless corpses, lying on the ground and unable to revive. The zombies did something that even Hades didn¡¯t expect! They retreated! This was the first time Hades saw the zombies leave in an organized way. Before this, the zombies would fall to the ground whenever they saw a living person. Even if they were killed, they wouldn¡¯t be able to stop them from moving forward. But this time, the zombies retreated together! This was enough to prove that there must be a commander behind the zombies. Otherwise, the zombies wouldn¡¯t retreat together. Seeing the zombies leave, Hades didn¡¯t continue to chase after them. Because he had no intention to fight anymore. There were still a lot of attribute points on the ground. After a while, they would slowly disappear! Hades couldn¡¯t bear to leave these attribute points behind to chase after those zombies. At this moment, Hades felt that the explosive power gathered in his body had gradually disappeared and returned to normal. This also meant that he had successfully evolved. Seeing that there were no more living zombies around the canteen, he focused his spiritual power wherever he looked. Then, countless attribute light orbs turned into a rain of light and gathered towards him. His attention was also on his interface. He saw that all sorts of numbers were increasing crazily, reaching an unbelievable level! [ Hades (Hero¡¯s pose)] [ strength: 439] [ agility: 385] [ vitality: 377] [ intelligence: 396] [ perception: 340] [ charm: 323] After killing so many zombies, Hades¡¯s stats had improved by leaps and bounds. However, that was only because he had killed too many of them. One single attribute ball did not give him much bonus points. Hades thought that the zombies were too low-leveled at the moment, so they were not challenging to him at all. Therefore, the bonus points were too little. Even if Hades didn¡¯t use a shield now, the zombies couldn¡¯t leave a permanent base on him. Hades still had two Treasure Chests that he hadn¡¯t opened yet, so he opened them too. ¡°Congratulations, Black Armor! The armor will increase your swordsmanship ability and protect you from corrosion damage!¡± ¡°Congratulations, Boots of Haste! Wear these shoes, and you¡¯ll be able to walk like a bird!¡± ¡°Red Packet open! Congratulations on acquiring the Skills of Landmines!¡± ¡°Red Packet open! Congratulations on acquiring the Basic Swordsmanship!¡± These things made Hades very happy. They were all quite useful to him, and now he was only missing a piece of clothing. Hades immediately put on his clothes and shoes. He wouldn¡¯t be able to damage them so easily if he encountered zombies again. He stood alone among a group of zombies and looked around. There weren¡¯t any zombies left, not even those that are struggling. Hades stood on the battlefield and heard footsteps coming from behind. He turned back to look. Seeing Julia holding the Fire-Patterned Dagger, he slowly walked over. Her white clothes had been dyed black by the black blood. Her face was cold, her eyes were bright, and her figure was slender and upright. She walked over step by step. ¡°You¡¯re really strong. We can be together in the future. In the apocalypse, we all need a friend. Only then can we survive.¡± Julie saw Hades¡¯s gaze, but she said that nevertheless Because her voice was very low, it also seemed very hoarse. Hades grinned and said, ¡°Your skills are very good, and your power is also very strong. Moreover, you took the initiative to look for me. I think you¡¯re quite a suitable teammate. As long as you won¡¯t betray me, surviving in the Apocalypse together is also a very good move to cooperate.¡± He still admired Julia very much. In the entire cafeteria, not a single one of those men came out to help Hades. Only Julia ignored the danger and fought side by side with him Even if Hades didn¡¯t need help, the fact that someone had such a heart was enough to move Hades. When Julia heard Hades¡¯s recognition of her, she was also very touched. ¡°I have something. Once I get it, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± The two of them chatted in the middle of the pile of dead bodies, giving people a sense of their strength. There were more than twenty people on the roof of the cafeteria. The survivors on the second floor and the survivors in the teaching building were all looking at them. This was the first time they felt that zombies might not be so scary, and that they could still be defeated. Hades, covered in black blood, accompanied Julia to the stairs on the second floor. The door was locked. Hades sneered, not surprised at all. ¡°This is too much. It¡¯s fine if they don¡¯t help, but they¡¯re cutting off our escape route. Do they want to die?¡± Julia was very angry. Hades gently patted his shoulder and comforted him, ¡°There¡¯s no need to be angry. This is the reason why I didn¡¯t care about anyone. You might have saved them out of kindness, but they think they deserved this. Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll open the way.¡± He easily broke the chain. With a faint metallic trill, the door was easily opened, and the two entered easily. Chapter 33 - Who Locked the Door? Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Who locked the door?¡± Julia asked them coldly, pointing the Fire-Patterned Dagger in her hand at the students. She wanted to take a breath. Julia couldn¡¯t bear it. She and Hades were killing zombies outside just to protect the people in the cafeteria. But they were ungrateful. Even the door was locked and they were not allowed to come in. The scene was completely silent. No one dared to answer. On the other hand, Bossel walked over with trepidation. He ignored the shock of the others and knelt down in front of Hades. He repeatedly kowtowed. ¡°From now on, you will be our boss. All the members of our football team will follow you. As long as you tell us to go, we will go!¡± The football players behind also knelt down together. It was obvious that they had discussed this beforehand. Julia was very disappointed. She thought that he had the guts to expose who had locked the door. She did not expect him to be so snobbish. When he saw how powerful Hades was, he came to acknowledge him as his boss. Hades wanted to chase them out and let him experience for himself the danger of fighting zombies. However, there were not thirty zombies outside right now. If they went out, they might just run away. It was better to enslave them for life and make them work for him. It was also a form of revenge. Seeing them worship him as their boss. Hades thought of an idea. ¡°Since I¡¯m your boss, I¡¯ll give you a mission. Throw the one who sealed the gate down from the upstairs!¡± Hades crossed his arms and gave them a choice. Sometimes, it was a good pastime to watch others make a difficult choice. Julia looked at the three of them. ¡°It¡¯s the Boss!¡± Without any hesitation, Bossel strode to Mckay¡¯s bodyguard and said, ¡°Master Mckay, I¡¯m really sorry. We have to survive. Your bodyguard has to jump down from here!¡± The truth of the matter came out. It was this rich second generation¡¯s bodyguard who had locked the door. The entire football team was approaching the bodyguard. They were holding steel sticks in their hands and looked like they were not to be trifled with. Mckay was not stupid. He knew that he was able to occupy the cafeteria because of these two bodyguards. If they died, his fate would be terrible. Mckay¡¯s face was ice-cold as he shouted loudly, ¡°Bossel, are you guys stupid? He¡¯s just a poor student. What can he give you? Follow me. In the future, no matter if it¡¯s money or women, you¡¯ll have everything you want!¡± Mckay was still dreaming. If the end of the world was over, he would still be the school¡¯s overlord. But Bossel had already seen the situation clearly. ¡°Young master, in the current situation, it¡¯s not certain whether you can leave the campus or not. You won¡¯t even be able to save your own life! Face the reality!¡± Although the bodyguard was a retired soldier, he was still an ordinary human. Facing these dozen people, he had no chance of winning, ¡°Go all out!¡± The bodyguard had a crazed look on his face. He raised the table leg in his hand and pounced at them. Bossel raised the steel rod in his hand and blocked the bodyguard¡¯s attack. The others took the opportunity to attack. ¡°Get down!¡± Bossel directly stabbed the steel rod into the bodyguard¡¯s stomach. The bodyguard was forced into a corner by a group of people. He did not dodge. The steel rod had already pierced into his stomach. Fresh blood flowed down the other side of the steel pipe and onto the ground. ¡°Ah!¡± The bodyguard cried out in pain. His body retreated crazily and crashed directly into the glass. The other bodyguard was held back by the other team members and was unable to win for the time being. When he heard his companion¡¯s scream, he was immediately distracted and was stabbed again. The battle had only lasted for a few rounds and they had already been released. They continued to close in. They had to force the two of them downstairs! The surrounding students saw that humans were killing each other. Although they were not as terrifying as zombies, they were right in front of them, making some of them feel afraid. At this time, they had already forced the bodyguards downstairs and fell down. Mackay¡¯s face was ashen. Julia came to her room at this time. She took her backpack and phone and was ready to leave. The girls who had a good relationship with Julia ran over and asked, ¡°Senior Julia, save us!¡± ¡°I know that you are beautiful and kind-hearted, so take us with you to escape!¡± Seeing her like this, they knew that she was ready to leave, and everyone also asked to take them away. Julia frowned. ¡°I can¡¯t even protect myself, so I can wait for the army in the cafeteria. Leaving here is not the best choice. Yesterday on the radio, there was news that the people from the military had already come out. They will first rescue the students.¡± Julia¡¯s words gave many students hope. Indeed, leaving the cafeteria was a choice. There were zombies outside, which meant danger. Not every student was willing to go out and take risks. Since the army had come, as long as they waited here, they would be rescued sooner or later. Why would they leave and take risks. Moreover, the zombies outside the cafeteria had been cleaned up. In the next few days, no zombies would come near the cafeteria again. Some students suddenly understood that the cafeteria was probably the safest area. Hades left the cafeteria with only a few people, including Bossel, Julia, and some members of the football team. Most of them still wanted to stay in the cafeteria and wait for the army to rescue them. Because they knew that they didn¡¯t have Hades¡¯s powerful strength. If they followed him out, they might be killed by zombies at any time. Since the army had arrived, it was better to wait for rescue. Moreover, two of Mckay¡¯s bodyguards were dead. He could no longer use his power to enslave the others. Since Hades had a team, he thought that he must have enough supplies to feed a small team. So Hades made a decision and returned to the supermarket to find more supplies. Chapter 34 - The Second Coming of Darkness! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Hades didn¡¯t rest. He led everyone directly to the school. On the way, any zombies that surrounded them could be easily killed. These people could be considered as the strongest team in the school. There were too few zombies on the way, so more than half of them should have died. Hades led his people to the supermarket with ease. Everyone returned with a full load of food. After getting the food, they returned to the principal¡¯s office. There was also Hades. Hades had promised her that if he wanted to leave, he would take her with him. Hades didn¡¯t expect that he could bring so many people back with him. The apocalypse itself was the beginning of a food shortage. It was impossible for them to go out to farm anymore. The food might be more and more scarce. The more people there were, the more burden they would have. Hades didn¡¯t care. He found a room and washed himself. The women started to chat and went into the kitchen to prepare food. Bossel and the others also found an opportunity to wash up quickly. Julia also went to the bathroom. They didn¡¯t expect Hades to have occupied the principal¡¯s office. The facilities here were complete, no less than a small hotel. The principal was usually bossy. They didn¡¯t expect that there were so many secrets hidden in his office. But now it all belonged to them. ¡°Sorry for the delay.¡± Julia came out after taking a shower. Her long hair was still wet, and her face was flushed after washing up. She said apologetically. Hades waved his hand to show that he didn¡¯t care and let her sit beside the chair next to him. He picked up a glass casually and drank it in small sips. ¡°Let¡¯s have a drink for our meeting in the apocalypse. This is the principal¡¯s wine. This damn thing hid so many good things. The principal can drink it, but he may not have the chance in the future.¡± Everyone was very happy. It had been a long time since they had eaten a decent meal, let alone a sip of wine. After seven days of the apocalypse, they were even more excited to be able to eat a mouthful of hot food and have some wine. They all felt that it was very difficult. Ever since they came to the apocalypse and saw so many things, everyone had changed greatly. Their moods were fluctuating too much. Just when everyone was drinking and introducing themselves, gunshots suddenly came from outside! ¡°Bang, Bang, Bang!¡± Everyone turned their heads and looked out of the window in shock. They didn¡¯t expect that gunshots would come from outside at nine o¡¯clock in the evening. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why are there gunshots? Did the army come to save them?¡± Most of them thought of the army at the first moment. ¡°I don¡¯t know, but there were only one or two gunshots. It wasn¡¯t the army sweeping away the zombies on a large scale, was it?¡± One had to know that having guns on campus gave one the right to speak. However, guns were forbidden on campus. So far, no one had gotten a gun. There weren¡¯t even two security guards of Mckay. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have been forced to jump off the building. Hades didn¡¯t care at all because he wasn¡¯t an ordinary person. Even if the enemy had a gun, it might not be able to hit him. With his current speed and physique, if he encountered a bullet, as long as it wasn¡¯t a fatal wound, it wouldn¡¯t kill him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about them. We¡¯ll eat ours. The gunshots are still far away and there¡¯s no interference. We can only hear them. Let¡¯s continue drinking.¡± Everyone gave a brief introduction. Everyone¡¯s identity was very simple. They weren¡¯t from a wealthy family. However, in the apocalypse, they had a list of people who fought against zombies. Julia was a little different. She stood up and said, ¡°My name is Julia. My family has always practiced martial arts, so I¡¯m very powerful. I¡¯m not worried about my parents. Their martial arts are outstanding. Even if they encounter zombies, they won¡¯t die easily. They feel that their power is finally useful. They hope that we can advance and retreat together in the future and find our families.¡± She was graceful and had the temperament of a descendant of an aristocratic family. Moreover, she had been practicing martial arts, so her words were very confident. After the introduction, Hades found out that it was the end of the world. Everyone missed joining the team the most. Hades himself also wanted to meet his parents who were thousands of miles away. Unfortunately, his parents were still far away. It was impossible for him to walk there. If it was a car, he didn¡¯t know if he could find fuel on the road. Moreover, he might not be able to defeat so many zombies by himself. After all, there was a limit to a person¡¯s strength. Hades felt that he still needed to equip himself with weapons. The lethality of cold weapons was limited after all. Most people had been hungry for a long time and started eating when they saw the food. Everyone had their own thoughts and for a moment, the air was very quiet. At this moment, the newspaper above their heads was flickering. ¡°It¡¯s over. The electricity is going to run out. Quick, quick, how much water do we have left? Store more water.¡± Hades saw this situation and said loudly. ¡°I¡¯ll go get a flashlight. I saw it in the supermarket and brought it over.¡± The lights were still flashing. The power plant had probably reached its limit. The reserve of electricity was about to be used up. Mankind had lost their electricity. At night, they would return to the dark era. In an instant, the lights went out. Everything was dark. ¡°The end is finally coming.¡± Mankind¡¯s achievements were all built on electricity and energy. Now that electricity has disappeared, so has the energy that humanity relies on the most. The equipment that runs on electricity has become a pile of scrap metal. From now on, everyone can only rely on their own strength. People all over the world are terrified at this moment. The things that were once normal, the electricity and light that can be seen everywhere. Now that they were all gone, they were not God¡¯s gift. Instead, a group of people were working in silence, exporting electricity to maintain the development of human society. Without electricity, human beings also lost the foundation to continue to develop. They also lost the light that could shelter everyone. Suddenly, the rapid gunshots reached everyone¡¯s ears. This time, the gunshots were different from before. They were very intense. It seemed that many soldiers had rushed into the school. Chapter 35 - Gunshots Everywhere! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The gunshots woke everyone up. They all picked up their weapons, held torches, and leaned against the wall. Hayley was even more terrified as she held Hades¡¯s arm. She didn¡¯t look like a teacher at all. ¡°What¡¯s happening outside? Why are there so many gunshots?¡± Hades saw outside the campus. They were in the principal¡¯s office building, and they could see outside through the transparent windows. Under the night sky, there were ten teams of soldiers wearing night vision helmets. There were about a hundred of them. They were very well-organized, like a team. Everyone relied on each other and broke through the gate of the campus one after another. The zombies hiding in the darkness pounced on the soldiers when they saw them. However, the soldiers were all wearing night vision goggles. Every move of the zombies was in their eyes. The night didn¡¯t work, and as soldiers, they didn¡¯t panic when they saw the zombies. Instead, they calmly fired. The rifles in their hands released tongues of fire, attacking the zombies in the darkness. The zombies that had killed countless students and trapped them for a week felt that they couldn¡¯t resist. Under the coordination of the army, they were like targets, getting shot one by one. This was the source of the gunshots, and also the savior that all the survivors were looking forward to. It was finally here! Hades saw that many teams were advancing rapidly on the campus. All the zombies that were wandering around the campus were all killed. The army formed by the zombies were all useless. They all fell under the bullets of modern guns. After all, the zombies were only human corpses that had been resurrected. They didn¡¯t have steel-like bodies. Being pierced by bullets was still a very simple thing. They had the same weaknesses as humans. They were afraid of fire, smashing, and bullets. When zombies were hit by fatal parts, they would still die, and they wouldn¡¯t be resurrected again. The only chance for them to be resurrected was when they became zombies. Moreover, they had lost their discipline. The army-like zombies from before had also disappeared. Perhaps, the commander saw that the campus couldn¡¯t be broken through, so he left. After all, this was only a small campus. There was no need to fight to the death here. The outside world was a wider world. The small teams advanced very quickly. From the school gate to the teaching building, they did not hear any footsteps. They swept through the zombies on the road. A military truck followed behind them. A loudspeaker sounded: ¡°Students, wake up! Don¡¯t be afraid, the zombies have all been eliminated! We are the military, we are here to take you home!¡± ¡°Please pick up your personal belongings, listen to the unified arrangements, and come to the operation assembly! Don¡¯t do anything excessive. This is an emergency situation, anyone who doesn¡¯t listen to the command may be treated as a zombie and be eliminated!¡± In a few pairs of open-top jeeps, behind them were ten military trucks. They came in from outside the school in an imposing manner. Their voices resounded throughout the night sky. At this moment, the survivors left behind in the male and female dormitories, classroom buildings, office buildings, and the cafeteria. They were so happy that they cried and knelt on the ground. Some of them had been hungry and thirsty for a long time. After hearing this voice, they finally heard hope again. Many of them had finished the last bit of food and water. Many of them didn¡¯t even want to die in the zombie¡¯s mouth. They even thought of suicide. They were about to lose hope. Finally, they heard the voice they had been waiting for. They didn¡¯t expect happiness to come so suddenly. They were finally able to survive. Seeing this scene, Hades knew that the school was finally safe. These well-trained soldiers had enough bullets. They could kill all the zombies and collect the survivors. Julia and the others all gathered. They were all dressed neatly and looked very excited. Hades and the others looked so happy, but they shook their heads and said, ¡°The crisis is over. You all have a good future. You can go.¡± Many of them had their own plans. They were not familiar with Hades, so they only wanted to find food with him for the time being. With a better choice for the army, they naturally left the school building to seek the protection of the army. The army meant stability, so it was even more comforting. Julia was not willing to leave, and so was Hayley. They wanted to stay by Hades¡¯s side. For some reason, after meeting Hades, they wanted to stick to her, as if he had more magic power. He seemed to have a completely different sense of security. This sense of security gave people a more stable feeling than the army. Hades did not plan to go to the army at all, because with his current strength, he did not need the protection of the army. Moreover, he had killed thousands of zombies, which was seen by all the students. Once he joined the army, he didn¡¯t know how he would be treated. Would he be imprisoned or studied. But what was certain was that he would lose his freedom temporarily, and he wouldn¡¯t be able to do whatever he wanted. In the conversation just now, Hades thought of his parents. He felt that if he stayed in the army, it would be very difficult to find his parents. Therefore, Hades did not plan to stay in the army. He planned to bring enough houses to travel in the outside world. If others were willing to come with Hades, he would not refuse. But for more ordinary people who did not have the ability to protect themselves, staying in the army and receiving protection was the best outcome. Hades did not care about what others thought. He packed his things. There was only food and water in there, except for his invisible backpack which was full. He also brought a huge backpack. Because he didn¡¯t know what he had encountered outside, he had prepared enough. It was definitely not wrong. After saying that, Hades ignored them. He picked up his backpack and walked downstairs. The others stayed behind and accepted the protection of the army. This was the best choice for them. Hades was destined to be a lone hero. Chapter 36 - Searching for Delia Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Amid the roars of zombies, the shrill screams of humans, and countless gunshots, the night passed just like that. By early morning, the soldiers had already exterminated all the zombies on the campus, preparing to count the students who had survived in the buildings. However, when the soldiers came to the cafeteria, they were incomparably shocked. They saw countless zombies, their bodies broken into pieces and scattering on the ground. These zombies were not killed by bullets, but by knives and other cold weapons. This puzzled the soldiers. How on Earth could someone kill so many zombies with only cold weapons? How powerful must he be? They finally learned that the person who had killed these zombies was a student named Hades. At this time, he had already left the campus. Hades didn¡¯t know that there was a huge commotion in the school. He wanted to go home and take a look first, so he jumped up to the tall building next to him. When he came to the top of the building, there were almost no zombies there, so he met no obstacles. Hades headed to a place in the eastern city. His sister was still there. She was his only family in this city and he must check up on her no matter she was still there or not. Hades ran fast in the night, and occasionally needed to land on the ground. However, he didn¡¯t bother to fight with those low-level zombies he met on the way since he didn¡¯t need those tiny attribute points. By dawn, Hades had crossed more than half of the city and arrived at the Songye District. Carrying things that weighed more than 300 pounds on his back, he jumped into a community lightly. In the community, the buildings were intact, looking as if they had not been affected by the catastrophe. It looked as peaceful as before, but the quiet streets were filled with zombies looking for living people. The sky had just lightened, and it was a beautiful morning. Hades took out his camera and took a photo. Then he walked straight to his sister¡¯s apartment. As he approached the door, Hades didn¡¯t hear any sound. He put his right hand on the door handle and gently turned it. It was locked from inside, and he couldn¡¯t open it. Just as he was about to forcefully open the door, the lights on the second floor were turned on. It was his sister, Delia. ¡°Delia!¡± Hades called her name. At this moment, he heard roars of zombies from inside. After four days of Doomsday, Hades was sure that he didn¡¯t mishear. He jumped to the second floor and saw a zombie in the room, but it was already tied up. The zombie¡¯s arms were bound and its legs were chained to the cabinet next to it. ¡°Brother!¡± Delia saw Hades and threw herself into his arms. Before he could ask what was going on, he heard ropes breaking. The zombie¡¯s hands turned into claws and pounced at Julia. Hades caught Delia and kicked the zombie¡¯s head with his right foot. ¡°Brother, I didn¡¯t expect you to be here and save me. You look completely different.. Then, Delia explained what happened to her. It turned out that after the Doomsday, a part of the people in the world became zombies. No one knew when it happened. Delia had a roommate who became a zombie in the middle of the night. When her roommate became a zombie, she was taking a shower, and the bathroom door was locked. She lost her mind when she became a zombie and couldn¡¯t open the bathroom door and thus was trapped inside. Delia tried to ask for help, but the phone was dead. She had no choice but to rely on herself. Fortunately, there was enough food in the fridge. She kept an eye on the situation outside and found there were more and more zombies appearing. She felt that the government had completely collapsed, and she could only rely on herself. Even though her roommate had turned into an zombie, she had been Delia¡¯s good friend, so Delia didn¡¯t have the heart to kill her. So she set a trap outside the bathroom. Delia had learned fighting skills in school and practiced every day, so she was strong enough to fight zombies. She released her roommate, with weapons and the trap, she successfully captured the zombie and tied her up. However, her roommate, who had turned into a zombie, was slowly rotting. Delia was very scared. She didn¡¯t dare to kill the zombie and had to face it every day. It didn¡¯t eat ordinary food and only wanted to attack Delia. Delia finally understood that zombies ate people. She couldn¡¯t go out and get help since the streets were filled with zombies. It was impossible for her to leave this apartment. Occasionally, there would be a few helicopters flying across the sky. Delia yelled for help, but those helicopters wouldn¡¯t stop. In the apartment, Delia got more and more desperate. She even thought of jumping out of her apartment to end her life. Hades had arrived just in time, otherwise, even if Delia didn¡¯t jump out of her apartment, she would have been attacked by her roommates. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ve become very strong now. I¡¯ll protect you during the Doomsday.¡± Delia cried and told him what she had gone through these past few days. She was extremely excited to see her brother. ¡°Alright, brother! We¡¯ll stick together during the Doomsday!¡± Chapter 37 - Training His Younger Sister Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Hades was happy to find his family and decided to leave this place with Delia. The city was filled with danger, with more zombies than on the campus. If they were surrounded by zombies, they¡¯d be killed. ¡°We need to leave this place. I¡¯ll teach you how to kill zombies. At the same time, we¡¯ll search the building and get food and a car.¡± They couldn¡¯t leave the city without a car. Even with Hades¡¯ current strength and speed, it had taken him a long time to travel from the campus to this apartment. As he spoke, Hades changed clothes, put on shoes and grabbed his backpack. Hades thought that he had to train Delia. He knew that he wasn¡¯t omnipotent and there were countless zombies out there. He had to make Delia stronger, so that she would be able to face danger on her own in the future. Hades had a deep understanding of what the Apocalypse was like. It was filled with schemes and suppression. Powerful people had to think of ways to survive in the Apocalypse. The government had collapsed and the laws and rules were no longer binding. In this era, people no longer trusted each other and only lived according to the most basic survival rules. Trust was a rarity. Only people with weapons and food could survive. But even though zombies had appeared and the human civilization was in danger, humans still looked for opportunities to oppress their own kind to show off their superiority over others. Conquering and possessing were the most basic ambitions and desires in humans. They had been infinitely magnified in the post-apocalyptic world! Delia went to the wardrobe and took out a set of tight leather pants, which accentuate her shapely legs. She then put on a top tank and a leather jacket, which made her look slim and graceful. She looked exquisite and attractive after putting on the leather jacket and leather pants. Stepping into a pair of small military shoes, she looked like a queen if she had a whip in her hand. Hades took out a Japanese-style long knife from the treasure chest and handed it to Delia. Delia also took it familiarly since she had learned Japanese saber fighting in her school¡¯s club. Hades knew about this. With this saber, Delia could deal with ordinary zombies. ¡°Is there a garage here? We need a car.¡± ¡°There¡¯s an SUV. It¡¯s very sturdy.¡± Hades nodded and went to the underground garage. A powerful and big off-road vehicle was there with wheels as high as 1.5 meters. It could travel on rough terrain and even knocked off zombies. This was the most useful vehicle in the post-apocalyptic world. Of course, its gas consumption was huge. Hades had mastered the driving skill. Getting into the car, he drove it out of the gate. The neighborhood was very quiet. No zombies could be seen, as if it was an empty city. Only the roaring of the powerful motor of the SUV could be heard as it race on the street. Through the window, they saw six zombies wandering outside. The zombies were drawn over by the sounds of the SUV. Bang! Bang! Hades didn¡¯t slow down and directly raced toward the zombies. This was the first time Delia felt such an impact in the car, and her heart beat wildly. But Hades looked unruffled at the sight. The Apocalypse had come, and no one could escape it. When he was in school, Hades had already killed countless zombies. So he felt nothing as he drove over them. This strange and cold world had transformed, but it had also killed many people, old or young, men or women. The world had changed no matter people wanted or not. Hades was able to survive because of the support of the system. Otherwise, he would have died yesterday afternoon. With the system coming out of blue, he must live well and achieve something. As Hades made the vow in his heart, Delia had recovered from her shock. Hades stopped the car and the zombies immediately surrounded the car. They looked at Hades and Delia with empty eyes. With grayish-white skin and dark teeth, they roared at Hades and Delia. They pounded on the windows, wanting to eat the people in the SUV. ¡°There are only six of them. Kill them. Don¡¯t get hurt!¡± Hades had drawn the zombies over to train Delia. She must kill those zombies herself and he wouldn¡¯t help her unless her life was in danger. ¡°Ah? You want me to kill them?¡± Delia was stunned, but then she realized that she would do it sooner or later. It was inevitable. Delia gripped the Japanese saber tightly and took a deep breath. Her chest heaved up and down as she braced herself. She had seen such scenes on television and in movies. Women could fight zombies as fiercely as men. In fact, they were even more vicious sometimes. In Resident Evil, women were extremely powerful. Now, it was Delia¡¯s turn to go to the battlefield. Just as Delia was getting ready, six zombies attacked at the same time, breaking the windows. Bang! The window glass shattered into pieces, scattering all over the ground. After the glass shattered, the six zombies ignored the shards on the ground and charged towards Delia with fangs and claws. With pitch-black fangs, they pounced like wolves seeing delicious food after being starved for a long time. Delia jumped out of the SUV and stood in the center of the zombies. Chapter 38 - Killing Zombies Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Although Delia was prepared, she was still a girl and was fearful when she saw those zombies. She felt fear even though those zombies weren¡¯t as powerful as her. This was also a weakness of humans when they faced unfamiliar things. For example, we see spiders which are quite common in home, at school, or at work because they are everywhere. They weave webs and catch flies and mosquitoes for food. Although a few are poisonous, they are basically harmless to humans. And with our strength and size, we can kill spiders easily. However, there were still many people who were afraid of spiders. As long as they see a spider, their legs would go weak and they would scream crazily, as if he spiders would kill them. However, the truth is that it is very difficult for spiders to kill humans. In contrast, humans can kill spiders easily. So why are humans afraid of spiders? It is that kind of inexplicable fear that lingered in the hearts and minds of humans. It makes us make wrong judgment about the power of our enemies. Humans should not be afraid of spiders, or any other creatures weaker than humans. But humans feel fear instinctively. This was a biological reaction left behind when humans were primitive and weak. Fear was a emotion to ensure our survival. Only with fear would humans run from danger. Only by running away would one have the chance to live and pass on the genes to the offspring. From a genetic perspective, living and being selfish were just biological instincts. This didn¡¯t mean anything. However, the strong ones could overcome their instincts and their fears. Hades hoped that Delia could overcome her fear and face the zombies. He wanted her to understand that she had the ability to defeat those zombies. In essence, those zombies were just corpses that had come back from the dead. Last night, it had been proven that a well-trained and disciplined army could easily wipe out all the zombies. Therefore, zombies weren¡¯t scary. People just thought that zombies were scary. It wasn¡¯t about strength. It was about psychological fear, the fear of seeing terrifying things. If Delia was afraid, she just couldn¡¯t unleash all of her strength. ¡°Go! Kill them! Chop off their heads! Otherwise, how can you survive in the Apocalypse?¡± It wasn¡¯t that Hades was ruthless. He knew that he could protect Delia for a while, but he definitely couldn¡¯t protect her for the rest of her life. If she couldn¡¯t face zombies bravely, she¡¯d get hurt. She would definitely die. Hades wanted to protect his sister, the only family he had found. ¡°Alright! I¡¯ll chop their heads!¡± After the initial fear and shock, Delia finally regained some rationality. She raised her Japanese saber and slashed at the first zombie that charged over to her. After the initial fear, Delia regained her composure and slashed at the zombie with the skill she had learnt Swoosh! The zombie¡¯s head was chopped off by the Japanese saber. The terrifying and ferocious zombie was split into two halves from its head to its legs. Its black blood and intestines were all over the place. Under the momentum, the split body still went toward Delia. ¡°Be careful! Don¡¯t be distracted on the battlefield!¡± Hades said. Seeing that the other zombies were about to attack Delia, he immediately grabbed her arm and pulled her back until they were more than ten meters away from the zombies, so their claws couldn¡¯t touch her. The first humans who got infected by zombies was through biting and scratching. Nine out of ten people who were scratched by zombies¡¯ claws would turn into zombies. Moreover, the speed at which humans turned into zombies was extremely fast. It took only one night for the infected people to turn into zombies. From the looks of it, it was impossible to develop a vaccine for the zombie virus in a short time. Delia wasn¡¯t as strong as Hades. Even if a zombie touched him, its claws couldn¡¯t scratch his skin. But if she got one scratch, she might die. Once Delia turned into a zombie, Hades would have to kill her. However, she was his family, and Hades didn¡¯t want to be in such a situation. Just like Delia¡¯s roommate up in her room, Delia couldn¡¯t bring herself to kill her at the beginning because killing someone close to her was definitely a very painful thing to do. Therefore, Hades was determined to let Delia have the ability to defeat zombies, or she would die. This was how one survived in the cruel world after the Apocalypse. After Delia killed the first zombie, she became much braver. She continued to kill other zombies when they pounced toward her. Delia wasn¡¯t as afraid as she was at the beginning. She quickly adjusted her stance, and when the zombies pounced on her, she swung her blade and killed them! Hades also took out his long spear. When some zombies tried to sneak up on Delia, he killed them with his spear. Hades didn¡¯t help her when zombies charged at her from the front. However, Delia didn¡¯t have the help of the system. She kept killing zombies, but the strength of a girl was limited. After killing more than ten zombies, Delia had used up most of her strength. She began to sweat all over, and her hand holding the knife became unsteady. This was almost her limit. When Hades saw that she had killed most of the zombies, he let Delia rest for a while. Then, he picked up his spear and wiped out the remaining ones, like a wind sweeping fallen leaves on the ground. Delia was almost exhausted after killing about a dozen zombies, but with a sweep of his long spear, Hades wiped out more than thirty zombies. Delia widened her eyes in shock. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re so powerful!¡± Chapter 39 - Plunder! Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Of course, I¡¯m your older brother.¡± Hades had a soft personality, but he never showed it in front of his sister. Hades had protected his sister since she was little and never let her suffer any injustice. That was why Delia trusted Hades so much. She felt that Hades could do anything. During the days when Delia was in despair, she had been fantasizing that her brother would come and save her. However, she was also worried that her brother had turned into a zombie. She didn¡¯t expect that Hades would be able to kill more than ten zombies at once. Her previous fear of zombies had completely turned into admiration for Hades. ¡°Alright, we need to stock up on more resources. This is a big city, and all the citizens have turned into zombies. but there are things we can use in their homes. Now they are dead, they have no use of these things. We might as well take them.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± Of course, Delia had no objections. She knew how important food was during the Apocalypse. A few days ago, her food stock went out when she was trapped in home. She had seen some people who left their homes to get a piece of bread. However, as soon as they left their homes, countless zombies surrounded them and took them as food. There were zombies everywhere. Some people were starved to death being trapped in home. Delia had starved for a few days, so when Hades gave her food, she devoured it quickly. She would never return to the life with no food but fear. Now that the city was surrounded by zombies, they couldn¡¯t find food in those skyscrapers. Because of the lack of electricity, the modern factories stopped working, including animal farms and plantations. The animals that were caged in the farms would gradually die. The world would be filled with wild animals and zombies. Whether or not humans could survive was still unknown. Everything would have to start over again. Without modern farming equipment, they would return to the era of primitive farming. Moreover, there was danger everywhere. However, the heritage left behind by the previous human civilization was very rich. If one could get it, one would gain a better footing in the new world. The foundation of everything was food! With more food, more people would live. However, to get food, one needed weapons and vehicles. After all the administrative organizations collapsed, the only thing left in this world would be military forces. The strong would live, and the weak would die. Hades and Delia began to search houses for supplies. Every house had some food including rice. Some people had a lot of cash in their houses. The money was kept in safes, but it was easy for Hades to open them now. However, after the Apocalypse, cash was useless. Hades would have been very happy to have such wealth in the past, but now, money was the most useless thing. No amount of money was as important as a piece of bread. Expensive luxury items were not as important as a weapon. The two began to collect all kinds of spices and food. They even took meat and vegetables from the refrigerators. Now that the electricity was gone, the refrigerators were useless. The perishable food would soon rot. In a few months, only the nonperishable food with a long shelf life were edible and vegetables and meat would become a luxury. After collecting enough food, Hades would go and find a big truck, so they could embark on the journey to find their parents. Without the protection of an army, their parents would be in danger, so they must find their parents and stay by their side. The two of them collected enough food and moved it to a luxurious villa. There was no one inside, and its owner could not come back. Most of the houses in the city were empty, so they chose a comfortable place to stay. After taking possession of the villa, they began to stock up on food. Although the tap water and electricity were gone, they still had beds to sleep in and bottled water to drink. Night soon arrived. Hades didn¡¯t want to go out to search for supplies at night because the city had lost its power and became extremely dark. There was no light at all and zombies lurked in the darkness to sneak up on people. And zombies seemed to be more agile and powerful at night. The city looked peaceful but there were millions of zombies lurking out there in the darkness. There might even be evolved zombies who could command troops. Although Hades was very strong now, he didn¡¯t think that he could defeat millions of zombies all by himself. It would need modern weapons, such as missiles and nuclear bombs, to defeat an army of zombies. And he wasn¡¯t well-informed about the outside world. If the military of a certain country decided to solve the problem with nuclear bombs, it would be catastrophic. But for now, no nuclear bombs had been launched. He wondered about the future of mankind and couldn¡¯t sleep. He didn¡¯t know what his fate was going to be. He didn¡¯t know if he had made the right decision to set foot on this path and escape from the campus which was in the control of the military. He¡¯d live day by day, as everyone living in the Apocalypse. Chapter 40 - The Possibility of the Future Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio When he woke up in the morning, Hades thought that he was still dreaming. After all, this was the house where the rich used to live. Looking at the tall bed, the exquisite decorations, rows of high-end wine bottles, Hades felt a little disoriented. This was also the soundest sleep he had had since the Apocalypse because he felt safe now and was no longer afraid of zombies. If it was before, as a poor student who knew nothing but taking photos, Hades would never dream of buying such a luxurious house. He¡¯d find a job and listen to his boss¡¯ lectures each day while working day and night. At most, he would meet a girl he didn¡¯t like very much and eventually get married. But he¡¯d eventually enter a middle-aged crisis because of poverty and loans and found himself useless. But all of this didn¡¯t happen because the Apocalypse had come. Zombies swept across the world, and the millions of years of human civilization was shattered. The earth was no longer belonged to the humans. The terrifying zombies were searching for the living in every corner of the earth. The rich and politicians were powerless during Apocalypse no matter how much money or power they had had. Only weapons and food could determine a person¡¯s status. Then, humans would build a shelter for themselves and spend hundreds or thousands of years to fight the zombies step by step and take back the territory. This made Hades think of the tribes. Perhaps the era of power struggle between big countries was over and the humans would returned to the era of tribes, the era of seizing resources for survival with brutal force. With the system, Hades had a great advantages over others. His intelligence level had also been raised to a very high level, so Hades began to consider human¡¯s future. Perhaps in other parts of the world, some other smart people were also thinking about this issue. They would not feel panic. On the contrary, they were very excited. This was a time to reshape human civilization. As long as they passed this stage, they would become the king of the world! There were basically no survivors in those prosperous and populated cities. The military with weapons and food supplies in the heavily guarded military zones would very probably take over this world. Although Hades was powerful, it was impossible for him to fight against nuclear missiles. The military had not yet used nuclear missiles or bombs, which meant that they did not need to do it yet. They would gain nothing by destroying a city with a missile. And missiles were extremely valuable in a world where countless scientists and engineers had died. Therefore, the military would not immediately use weapons of mass destruction. Instead, they would keep them as a trump card and use them at the most crucial moment. After thinking about this, Hades felt that he had to be patient. He couldn¡¯t challenge the army; instead, when the time was right, he should work with the army. Of course, the most important thing for now was to find enough supplies. Before the Apocalypse, his dream was making money and buying a luxurious house like this one. But now his dream had changed. He must keep himself safe, find his parents, and protect his family. His goal was as simple as that. Luxurious villas, sports cars, and airplanes were all useless in this ear. ¡°Brother, wake up!¡± Delia, whose bedroom was next to his, had got dressed and come to his room to wake him up. She had even prepared breakfast for Hades. Hades felt the warmth of family life and was very touched. After eating breakfast, the two of them went out and searched five villas. Three villas were empty while the other two had two servant zombies inside. There weren¡¯t many things left in the houses. After searching eight villas, there were twelve to go. In the next two days, they brought back lots of high-end food including countless quality rice and fruits and even alive seafood. Most importantly, they had found all kinds of seasonings and clothes. Some houses had installed power generating units and thus still had electricity, gas and hot water. To preserve vegetables, they put them in plastic bags and kept them in incubators packed with ice. They had stocked up these supplies for their trip. In addition to food, they found a Hummer and a jeep. The keys were also found in the houses. However, what Hades needed the most was a heavy truck that could be used to store supplies. There were only a few zombies in the villas in the rich community. Delia killed them all without Hades¡¯ help. The rest of the villas were well-decorated, but no one had moved into them, so they didn¡¯t find anything in these houses. The last villa they searched was as magnificent as a palace, especially the luxurious bed on the second floor with a water mattress and pink decorations on the sides. The soft crystal lights on the walls showed that it was a house built for a rich man¡¯s mistress. Hades didn¡¯t like it and left immediately after taking supplies he needed. The most important thing now was getting a truck to carry all the supplies, otherwise the food they had collected would go to waste. The food they had found was enough to feed a team of ten people. For the two of them, the food could last several months.
