was over he woke up next to Baer a girl who died long ago in the very house he lived in before the apocalypse naked and disoriented he realizes it's September 10th 2220 the day before the Apocalypse began as memories of the Monstrous apocalypse flood his mind he grapples with the horror of reliving that nightmare but then a spark of determination ignites within him he recalls the 10 years of survival skills and combat experience he acquired this rebirth may be his chance to rewrite his fate with his mind made up he vows to use his knowledge

to navigate the impending chaos and live his life with Newfound purpose and strategy the story Of Y Jong Ming begins a new fueled by Vengeance and a fierce will to change his Destiny he quickly dressed ignoring the girl on the bed who asked where he was going he yanked open the drawer and stared at The Inheritance his parents had left him in his previous life he never used their luxury card but with the apocalypse looming he knew money would soon be worthless so he had to use it now feeling snubbed the girl raised her voice

demanding answers he didn't Hold back he bluntly told her he knew about her affair with chin Jun her face flushed with embarrassment and guilt she fell silent unable to meet his eyes in his last life when the apocalypse erupted he used every method to protect her but was betrayed in return she chose to rely on chin Jun leaving him behind she now claimed he had no right to ridicule her and Chin Jun accusing him of being jealous of jun's looks and strength and calling him a clown despite Their past he gave Shai one last warning

chin Jun wasn't someone she could trust he knew telling her that June would sell her for merely three cans of food wouldn't change her mind so he didn't bother deciding not to waste more time on her he focused on preparing medicine food and Equipment meanwhile she kept shouting that she was the one who abandoned him insisting he wasn't leaving her and that she had chosen to leave him first the scene shifts to a Taxi where he thrusts a pile of cash at the driver and Demands a speedy trip to the nearest hospital he swiftly gathers

a stack of medicines at the hospital and stuffs them into a bag knowing these supplies will be rare and Incredibly valuable in the coming apocalypse as he leaves the hospital a woman accuses him of being an intruder and stealing he says that the money for the medicines is on the counter adding he has no time for further clarification because people Would only believe him once they meet the upcoming danger he then hurries to an outdoor gear shop methodically purchasing various ensive tools and gearing up from head to toe just as he's about to finalize his

payment he notices a machete on the weapons counter that resembles one he used in his past life without hesitation he decides to buy it for 10 times the price confident it will be invaluable he left the shop confidently unaware that the shopkeeper Was secretly pleased having duped him into paying 10 times the items actual value but the fool was oblivious to the looming danger ahead after Gathering everything he needed he hopped into a taxi the driver enticed by the money sped off with the car racing towards Heyday mention just a short distance away he recalled

from memory that the apocalypse wheel also known as the trade wheel the sole source of resources for survivors should be located there he Needed to act quickly to secure the most vital equipment and special abilities it offered he promised the taxi driver an extra $300 if he could get him to Heyday mansion in 5 minutes the driver quickly shifted gears telling him to hold on tight racing down the road the driver narrowly avoided hitting a pedestrian as the driver sped ahead his mind raced remembering if he'd overlooked anything suddenly it hit him the apocalypse wheel

also known as the trade wheel this was The sole source of survival resources water food equipment and even special abilities all could only be obtained by spinning that wheel he needed to be the first to reach it according to his memory the first apocalypse wheel should be near the Heyday Mansion but the taxi was stopped at the entrance to the high-end area undeterred he instructed Ed the driver to force their way through promising to cover any damages the driver complied and charged ahead while The alarmed policemen called for reinforcements the car soon arrived at a

desolate area and stopped slowly before getting out he suggested the taxi driver stop and leave the area he added that the driver should head to places with fewer people afterward as he stepped out guards chasing them quickly apprehended him noticing his calm demeanor one guard mentioned that a taxi had smashed through their guard rails and accused him of trying to flee the policeman Warned him not to act dumb despite the situation he remained composed and was told to look above in the sky but a massive rumbling sound grew louder before the policeman could ask where

and he had no chance to reply slowly an era transcending Battleship appeared causing the policeman's Expressions to shift from anger to sheer fear Jong felt a cold sweat as the scene mirrored precisely what happened 10 years ago he wondered why the Creator had left the Wheel behind and forced people into conflict determined to change his face he seized this opportunity to become stronger and strike back as the Space Battleship slowly approached people who had no clue what was coming kept taking pictures to share online but he knew better he could tell it was only a

matter of moments before the attack began seizing the chance he turned and ran using his martial arts to move swiftly as he ran he recalled that the Attack would last 5 minutes in that time the world would descend into a living hell in no time he reached the door of a nearby Villa he rang the doorbell posing as a delivery man he remembered that the first wave of apocalyptic Wheels would soon appear once the battleship ceased their assault the wheels would descend when the electric gate buzzed open He Slipped inside without hesitation The woman Inside

undeniably Charming in her appearance eyed him with suspicion she Insisted he wasn't a delivery man and demanded to know who he was she warned him to leave or she would call the police but he stood still ignoring her words knowing she had no combat skills and was completely unaware of the looming danger just as the woman was about to protest further a loud explosion erupted outside followed by terrified screams his stomach tightened as he saw the massive Space Battleship releasing a fleet of giant vessels that Crashed into cars and buildings curious onlookers moved closer unaware

of the threat only to see the vessels split open releasing a green Mist that shot toward them within seconds those caught in the fog transformed into terrifying Undead one man tried tried to save a friend but it was too late the friend had already turned into a deadly zombie who attacked him without Mercy for him who had lived through the apocalypse the chaos outside was nothing new the lady However was visibly shaken by the screams and destruction her eyes wide with fear she demanded that he leave her house immediately clearly unsure of his intentions but

he unfazed by her Panic ignored her and noticed a strange glimmer coming from the kitchen without hesitation he rushed towards it and found himself staring at a massive gold wheel that had mysteriously appeared before him curious and anxious the lady followed him into the kitchen only to be Stunned by the sight of the enormous wheel at the center of the wheel was a gray Crystal indicating it was the one rank one Crystal wheel despite that he felt a wave of satisfaction wash over him he knew even a one Crystal wheel could offer something valuable but

the woman beside him was filled with doubt how could something like this just appear out of nowhere he wasn't concerned with her skepticism he focused on the rewards within the wheel he Spotted a strengthening drug that could boost a person's strength two or threefold but there was a problem he had no crystals to activate the wheel as he examined the wheel closer he noticed something unusual typically level one Wheels only required five crystals but this one needed seven this difference made him confident there was something even more valuable hidden within after another look he spotted

the prize a lucky card the lady puzzled by his Muttering finally asked what he was talking about he explained that a lucky card could enhance a person's unique abilities such as improving their physical strength or granting them a companion beast in the back of his mind he wondered why this woman hadn't turned into a zombie yet it could mean she had some resistance to the poison he began to think she might be helpful perhaps even a reliable assistant in the future but the woman wasn't convinced by his Explanation she still eyed him suspiciously he pointed

out to the lady that the screaming outside had suddenly stopped her eyes widen with surprise as she realized something terrible must have happened ignoring the danger she decided to step outside and see for herself he knew this was a fatal mistake the silence meant that most of the screaming humans had already turned into mutants no longer able to cry out as she cracked open the door an undead creature Lunged at her she stumbled back crashing to the ground struggling desperately to fend off the snarling monster but it quickly overpowered her pinning her down just as

it seemed she was done a flash of light sliced through the air and the Undead's head rolled away dazed the lady looked up to see him standing over her his machete gleaming with fresh blood he had saved her in the nick of time he bent down and pulled a crystal from the monster's head the lady stared at it Suddenly realizing it looked exactly like the one on the mysterious wheel in her kitchen two more Undead creatures charged toward the open door before she could fully process what had just happened she screamed a warning telling him

to look behind him in an instant he spun around facing the two Undead headon with a quick fluid motion he leaned out of their reach and slashed once taking both creatures down in a single deadly strike the lady watched in shock her Heart racing as she realized just how lethal he indeed was he had seemed like just an ordinary guy to her but now she saw the brutal efficiency with which he handled the mutants and it left her speechless in her shock the lady asked for his name after introducing himself he extended a hand pulled

her to her feet and then asked for her name in Return when she answered his eyes widened in disbelief she was mushin Fay the rumored NSTAR expert from his past Life the legendary figure who could single-handedly face entire Divine armies yet here she was just a delicate girl far from the mighty existence he had known still shaken by his reaction Shin pressed him for answers demanding to know what was happening outside he didn't hesitate and bluntly informed her that Earth had been invaded as she could see most people had already turned into zombies he explained

that while he didn't yet know who was behind The Invasion a few people around the world like the two hadn't been infected He also mentioned that he had been collecting crystals from the heads of the undead showing her the tiny shimmering objects that were the key to survival in this new world after listening to his detailed explanation she grasped the dire situation outside and suggested they seek help from the government or military but he shook his head explaining that those entities Likely collapsed within minutes of the attack as far as he could tell the entire

Earth had become a playground for the undead his mind raced with calculations if Shin had become an NSTAR expert in his past life she must have possessed some extraordinary traits that were still hidden he needed an assistant and she seemed like the perfect candidate so he decided to teach her the survival rules of this new Undead world first he explained were the wheels that Humanity relied on to survive the apocalypse most supplies came from them but activating a wheel required crystals extracted from the heads of the undead the more valuable the Wheels rewards the more

crystals it needed she being sharp quickly caught on that there must be more Wheels out there but her curiosity improved and she asked how he knew all this he didn't want to reveal that he had been reborn so he swiftly changed the subject suggesting she try spinning The wheel while he hunted zombies outside turning to leave he paused at the door and gave her a Stern warning to shut the door tightly behind him and under no circumstances to go outside with that he stepped out preparing to face the undead once more leaving her to process

everything she had just learned on the street the undead wandered aimlessly their groans filling the air one of them seemed to sense something turning its head just as he drove a Blade into its skull sensing fresh prey several other Undead charged at him but he was no easy target his movements were quick and precise his body agile as he weaved through the mass of rotting bodies with practiced ease he delivered powerful thrusts slicing through the zombies like they were nothing more than overripe vegetables as the last of them fell he meticulously collected the crystals from

their foreheads but just as he finished he heard desperate cries For help from behind him spinning around he saw a girl being chased by two Undead Panic etched on her face she bolted toward him hiding behind his back in fear without hesitating he stepped forward meeting the undead headon with a swift motion he brandished his blade slashing them into mangled flesh with a series of Rapid deadly strikes but as he turned to check on the girl her demeanor Shi Ed she clawed at him frantically her mouth stretching open in a grotesque Scream as she lunged

at him thankfully he was ready in one fluid motion he reached out his hand hooking her head and driving his blade straight into her forehead ending the threat before it could even begin Shin was amazed when he returned with 11 Undead crystals adding them to the three he had already collected it was just enough for two spins on the mysterious metal wheel with Shin watching curiously he carefully placed the crystals into the slots Individually as the last Crystal disappeared the wheel began spinning wildly both watching in anticipation he silently prayed for some functional medicine as

the wheel blurred with speed when it finally slowed to a stop the wheel spat out four cans of food he stared at them feeling a wave of disappointment wash over him during the apocalypse canned food was a rare luxury but it wasn't what he needed now he wanted something to give them a Fighting Chance not just more supplies to make matters worse jyn had already organized a large stash of unspoiled food while he was at out hunting zombies enough to last them for a while eating canned food at this point felt like a waste of

a precious spin frustrated by his continued bad luck he turned to her with an idea suggesting she give it a try thinking her luck might be better than his he handed her the remaining crystals hoping that the wheel might offer Something more valuable this time once again the wheel is about to be activated the way she placed the crystals is it just me or does she look like she's about to unlock a secret level with that pose the wheel word to KN and both waited with baited breath he thought each spin at the start of

the Apocalypse was crucial as it could rapidly boost combat abilities but a moment later he was stunned this time the wheel landed on an extremely valuable elimination Card he explained that the card allowed her to eliminate one reward while it might not seem necessary now he believed its value would become apparent when spinning for crucial equipment and skills he looked at her in astonishment and asked if her luck was always this incredible she shared that she had always been fortunate whether it was getting extra bottles from soft drinks winning big prizes from cracking eggs or

even drawing a live cow in a Supermarket's lucky draw this made him who had been struggling with persistent lousy luck feel almost depressed he speculated that Shin's luck might be due to her fortunate physique watching her bask in her excitement he couldn't help but sneer if she had a winning physique he was determined to take full advantage of it early the following day he prepared to slay the undead as daylight broke his goal for the day was to collect 100 Crystals seeing his confident determination she decided she couldn't afford to slack off she resolved to

support this great benefactor and make a meal worthy of a 100 crystals after some time he returned panting and out of breath he had two pieces of news for her and asked which she wanted to hear first she opted for the excellent news the good news was that the area was now completely overrun by zombies but he had managed to clear them all out this Impressive update thrilled her and she eagerly asked asked for the bad news the bad news was that he had only collected 21 crystals despite searching the entire area checking every house

room and hidden spot seeing his slight discouragement she reassured him that these crystals were still enough for several spins on the wheel he asked her if there was something to eat as he was hungry soon the dishes were served but their appearance was likely unappetizing Even to dogs she hesitantly admitted that she wasn't very skilled in cooking and with a hint of sadness suggested that if he found the food unpalatable he he could always eat from the cans in the fridge despite the less than appealing presentation he took a large bite and told her it

tasted good even if it looked terrible her eyes lit up at his comment as he was the first person not to reject her cooking it's because he had survived the apocalypse and had Faced far worse including eating dead human meat so hunger and thirst were his greatest fears after finishing his meal they went to the wheel to use the crystals he had collected she proved her luck as the wheel rewarded them twice in a row with practical weapons a gun and a crossbow she then handed him the remaining crystals urging him to try it he

shook his head saying his luck was too poor undeterred she took his hand blew on it and with a sincere expression Told him she had transferred her luck to him her gesture made him blush unable to hide his surprise and gratitude six rewards remained on the wheel with the odds of hitting the enhanced Gene medicine now sitting at a slim one in six she quickly suggested using the elimination card to remove the cookie option hoping to improve their chance but before they could reconsider the discard card touched the wheel and suddenly ignited his eyes widened

in Disbelief once the card made contact their decision was set in stone now with a one in five shot he knew there was no turning back without a moment's delay he inserted the crystals to initiate the spin as the wheel started to whirl both launched into fervent prayers whether invoking the Eastern amitaba or the Western Amon they called upon every divine power imagin as the wheel gradually slowed and the arrow settled on a green potion bottle Their faces lit up as if they had just won the jackpot indeed they had struck gold with the novice

body strengthening potion this wasn't just any reward it was a GameChanger capable of amplifying the user combat skills and physical strength by at least threefold during the early stages of the Apocalypse in a harsh world where survival was a luxury a body strengthening drug like this was nothing short of essential excitedly she urged him to drink the potion Immediately however he had a a different plan in mind instead of gulping it down he carefully combined the strengthening potion with some Heparin he had taken from the hospital pouring both into a tray he explained to her

that mixing the two substances could double the potion's volume effectively transforming one bottle into two he further elaborated that the wheel they used wasn't unique numerous others were scattered in various locations each equipped with its Own set of reward boards with the additional bottles they'd created they could trade for valuable skill cards or specialized medicines with other survivors this strategy enhanced their immediate strength and opened up opportunities for bartering and negotiations increasing their chances of long-term survival in the apocalypse soon enough the two newly created strengthening potions were sitting before them she was about to

ask him how He knew how to make the medicine still before she could complete he quickly shifted the conversation pointing out that the medical water's temperature was too high and needed to be lowered immediately then turning back to her he emphasized that she should memorize every detail of the process and the correct temperature standards because it would be her turn to make the potion next time she nodded already feeling confident she could handle the task After finishing the potion making she couldn't resist asking the same question again about how he knew all this but before

he could answer they were interrupted by a knocking sound from outside his expression turned serious as he hushed her quickly pulling her upstairs confused she asked why he seemed so alarmed he explained that the sound came from a mutated stink bug the Infectious virus these Locust had evolved into cannibalistic insects while They weren't solid individually they hunted in swarms and spotting one meant the entire horde was nearby sure enough with just a little effort the swarm of mutated locusts broke through the door swarming up the stairs towards them the two scrambled to use a wardrobe

to block the door but he warned her that these bugs were more dangerous than they seemed they could even infect plants turning them into flesh eating organisms when they thought they were safe the Banging sound started again louder this time she startled instinctively jumped into his arms he might have thought forget the bug spray we need some modesty spray here stat however he eased her fears by telling her not to be scared assuring her that he's there for her and his words made her feel at ease seeing the door battered relentlessly he realized it wouldn't

hold out much longer he quickly decided to have her hide in the bathroom while he prepared To face the oncoming swarm when she anxiously asked how he planned to survive against so many he reassured her it would only take a few minutes without hesitation he pulled out the strengthening potion he had just prepared aware of the side effects but knowing it was his best shot he drank it down without a second thought as soon as he downed the potion a wave of excruciating pain surged through his body sending him collapsing to the Ground he wriggled

in agony feeling like his entire body was on fire but as the pain threatened to overwhelm him the mutated Beatles finally broke through the door he crumpled to the floor but the potions effect started kicking in was this the end for him not a chance in an instant a flash of Steel pierced through the air impaling one of the Beatles boosted by the potion's strength he sprang into action launching himself at the swarm with lethal Precision his Eyes glowed with an eerie red light making him look like a Reaper from the depths of Hell the

pain from the drug side effects was unbearable driving him to scream in Fury as he fought the mutated beetles swarmed him but he roared defiantly and charged forward his blade slicing through them with Relentless Force in a frenzy of slashing and stabbing he tore through the horde leaving a trail of Carnage in his Wake Green mutated blood splattered across The walls and floor as he hacked away at the last of the creatures finally when the previous Beetle fell he was left standing amid the destruction panting heavily from the exhausting battle his body trembling from both

the fight and the after effects of the potion as he surveyed the shattered limbs scattered across the floor a nagging suspicion crept into his mind a locust swarm's appearance always signaled a locust Queen's presence the Swarm would keep Reproducing endlessly if the queen wasn't dealt with as he pondered this a massive mutant loomed into view it was the Locust Queen enraged at the sight of her slaughtered brood the queen spewed a jet of green liquid at him fortunately he reacted quickly dodging the acidic spray by a hair's breadth the liquid sizzled and corroded everything touched

but he wasn't intimidated as the queen charged at him again he decided to stop holding back he leaped into the air in a Flash soaring above the queen before driving his blade down hard into her back the Locust Queen let out a bone chilling shriek of Agony writhing in pain but he was relentless he lived by the mot strike when your enemy is weakest without hesitation he twisted the blade handle then plunged it in deeper in moments the Queen's strength drained away and she collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud defeated after the battle

he finally staggered over to The bathroom knowing that the more he pushed himself the worse the potion's side effects would become but as soon as he opened the door Shin leapt into his arms clinging to him tightly despite his exhaustion he felt a sense of comfort wash over him and gently told her not to cry reminding her that tears were the most useless thing in the apocalypse slowly she managed to calm herself though the shock of being saved from such a nightmare still lingered but when She turned her head and saw the bloody mess outside

her stomach churned as she tried to figure out how on Earth they were going to dispose of the pile of corpses he made a surprising comment he casually mentioned that these were all fresh delicious Sashimi hinting that this would be their food source as time passed when she looked at him in disbelief he explained that Food Supplies would become scarce after a year and these mutants would be one of The few edible resources left he explained that in the apocalypse food would come from three primary sources unexpired food food obtained from the wheel and the

corpses of the Swarm the idea of eating mutants made her eyes widen in horror but he ever pragmatic pointed out that eating these creatures was still far far better than resorting to cannibalism a thought that left her even more shaken helplessly she equipped herself with what she could find and Began the Grim task of hacking off the broken limbs in no time she had chunks of meat both large and small piled into a basin he noticing her quick adaptation praised her for getting used to such gruesome work so swiftly but before long he approached her

with his backpack slung over his shoulder saying he needed to go out and gather more Undead crystals he reassured her to trust that he would return with her gaze fixed on him as he departed he once again Ventured into danger fully aware that he would have to push even further from their temporary Refuge as he navigated the desolate streets his senses remained sharp listening for any hint of activity yet all he encountered were the Grim remains of the undead and Fallen humans their bodies scattered across the road like discarded remnants of a forgotten world as

he approached an intersection the air was suddenly pierced by cries for help forcing him to stop abruptly Startled he cursed under his breath wondering what kind of fool would shout so recklessly in a situation like this it was as if they deliberately invited every Undead in the vicinity to descend upon them at the intersection his eyes locked onto a girl sitting on the ground her desperate pleas echoing through the deserted streets without a moment's hesitation he rushed over and clamped his hand over her mouth Whispering urgently for her to be silent before she Attracted more

of the undead but it was already too late The Echoes of her cries had drawn a horde of Undead now squeezing through the narrow Alleyways and charging straight toward them realizing the imminent danger he quickly un sheathed his blade and slashed at the advancing Undead with deadly Precision despite his efforts their numbers were overwhelming desperate to buy time he ordered her to run while he held them off in her panic She noticed an Open Door nearby without thinking twice she bolted inside and called out urging him to hurry and take cover before it was too

late ignoring the undead closing behind him he made a frantic dash for the door just as he slipped inside they slammed the door shut behind him but before they could catch their breath a decaying hand suddenly Shot Through The Gap causing them to nearly jump out of their skin the terror of the moment was reflected In their pale faces as the door now unable to fully close with no time to lose they bolted up the stairs but it quickly became apparent that her strength was failing her breath came in ragged gasps and her Pace slowed

significantly as exhaustion set in just as she stumbled one of the undead managed to grab her leg dragging her down the stairs with a vice likee grip without hesitation he reacted swinging his large blade down in a mighty Ark Severing the Undead's grasp on her with a single precise strike he pulled her back to her feet but the situation had worsened the staircase was now swarming with Undead closing in on them from all directions then as the chaos threatened to overwhelm them a sudden blinding light burst through the narrow window casting an eerie otherworldly glow

over the scene he turned toward the light his heart pounding in his his chest his eyes widened in shock as he recognized the Source a glowing white object descending from the sky Illuminating the dark stairwell like a beacon the realization hit him with startling Clarity it was the dungeon key an object of immense power and it was now within their reach in his past life he had learned that the dungeon key was one of the rarest and most valuable items in the apocalypse it was the only way to reach the dungeon mystery land a place

brimming with hope and wonder even top veterans had wanted It though none had ever managed to get their hands on it he was determined the key of mysteries had to be his as he was lost in thought she behind him suddenly shouted watch out for the undead he Whirled around and saw a vicious Undead charging straight at him aiming for his groin fear gripped him and he broke into a cold sweat in a panic he slammed his fist into the Undead's face shielding himself and cursing the creature when the undead charged at him aiming for

his Groin he thought great even zombies know where it hurts the most now fueled by anger he decided to deal with the 10 Undead once and for all the hallway was narrow perfect for a defensive stance and a Counterattack just as he was about to strike a gray hand reached out from the Shadows staying calm he swung his Blade with Precision the hand flew off green liquid splattering across the floor in a gruesome spray in a flashback we see her life just a few days ago she Had everything pursuers Fame material wealth and knowledge truly

the darling of heaven but in in a matter of days everything had unraveled her relatives friends and even her father had turned into man-eating mutants she was left kneeling helplessly as she faced what seemed like her final moments she saw the undead lying defeated on the ground overwhelmed with joy she couldn't believe he had managed to eliminate all the threats before her eyes her relief Was interrupted by jong's scolding if she wanted to stay alive she couldn't afford to Dole they had to find the key and they needed to act quickly the downstairs area was

swarming with Undead making it clear that going down was not an option their only chance was to reach the rooftop and find another way out he had a plan the rooftop of their building connected to the building in front and he planned to exit the building from there if they could make it there they'd Be closer to their goal he figured that once he descended from that building the key would be just two streets away as he surveyed the area he noticed Vines creeping over every surface their Relentless growth overtaking the landscape suddenly a branch

snapped toward the young girl wrapping its tend around her and lifting her off the ground with surprising Force without missing a beat he sprang into action intercepting the movement and catching Her in midair his response was Swift and calculated driven by Instinct rather than emotion he set her down without a word his Focus immediately shifting back to the task at hand she glanced at him impressed by his quick thinking but he remained unfazed his mind occupied with the challenges ahead irritation simmered as he faced the mutated plants that slowed their progress every second spent dealing

with the overgrown foliage felt like a waste of time he hacked through The vines with growing impatience determined to push forward at last they reached a locked door she asked what they should do next his answer was direct and decisive a powerful kick that sent the door crashing open they quickly made their way to the rooftop where they were met with the unexpected sight of a large group of survivors already gathered waiting for whatever came next a blonde guy wielding a baseball bat approached them with a Stern expression Demanding to know what they were doing

he warned that breaking the door could attract more of the undead Jong quickly stepped forward clarifying that they meant no harm and had already cleared out all the zombies in their building the blond's eyes widened in Surprise clearly taken aback by the claim it seemed unbelievable that anyone could have cleared out all the zombies in such a place especially with the constant threat of more potentially making their Way up to the roof despite his skepticism they used a shovel to prop up the broken door hoping it would at least delay any potential threats the blonde

turned back to him accusing him of putting everyone in danger regardless before tensions could escalate his friends intervened pointing out that he and the girl hadn't even known there were others in the building the blond's anger subsided slightly but his distrust remained evident in his gaze as the Situation calmed he took a moment to scan the surroundings from the rooftop his eyes searching the Horizon the blonde still wary asked him about his intentions he revealed that his goal was to reach the Middle School the blonde raised an eyebrow in Surprise questioning how he planned to

navigate the streets likely crawling in with zombies he explained that he had seen some lights in that area and was determined to investigate them the Blond's expression shifted from skepticism to reluctant admiration impressed by his courage he confirmed that the lights were indeed at the school he then pointed out a possible shortcut another building close to the east side of the rooftop if he was willing to take the risk he could try jumping across to reach it however the blonde warned that it was a dangerous move one that could seriously injure anyone who attempted it

he looked at the Gap between the buildings weighing his options the jump was risky but it was also the fastest route to his destination determined he made up his mind the blond watched him closely as if trying to gauge whether this stranger would actually go through with it he immediately headed east intent on assessing the situation for himself the gap between the buildings was about 5 m with the opposite rooftop sitting one level lower a distance he judged to be Challenging but manageable for him it was nothing more than a test of his daily training

something he felt confident in handling he made up his mind to take the leap just as he was about to move the girl tugged at his clothes her eyes wide with fear as she pleaded with him not to leave her behind a brief Pang of compassion crossed his mind and he agreed to take her backpack with him across the Gap the blonde watching this unfold scoffed and warned That he was asking for trouble by trying to take both Jong thinking quickly suggested using ropes to secure the backpack and his body to hers ensuring they could

cross together safely the blonde let out a harsh laugh dismissing the idea he pointed out that there was no way she could make the jump while burdened with both a heavy backpack and another person instead he offered a different solution the girl should pass the backpack to him and he would throw It over once they were safely on the other side but Jong wasn't convinced he knew that handing over the backpack could mean losing it forever especially to someone as untrustworthy as the blonde when he declined the offer the blond's demeanor shifted from dismissive to

hostile his eyes narrowed and he threatened to break his arm if he didn't comply J could have replied with a cold smile Youk have to catch me first good luck with that without another word he Backed up took a running start and leaped from the 200 met High building time seemed to slow as he sailed through the air the wind rushing past him he landed on the opposite roof with a heavy thud his bare arm and knee absorbing the impact leaving scratches and bruises in their wake the blonde stood on the other side stunned into

silence unable to believe what he had just witnessed wasting no time he quickly secured the ropes and prepared to help the girl Across but as he worked he couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched his instincts proved correct a hulking stranger hidden in the shadows and observing them through binoculars had been tracking their every move this stranger a member of a notorious Outlaw Community saw the chaos unfolding below as an opportunity these Outlaws thrived on praying upon the vulnerable exploiting lost and helpless women for their own Twisted purposes the predatory gleam in his

eyes made made it clear that he had set his sights on them and he wasn't about to let this opportunity slip away inside the grimy makeshift establishment women were being forcibly abused and in private rooms people placed bets on the brutality of the as salant one guy turned to his friend and asked how much longer he thought the abuser would last the friend placing a bet for a cigarette guessed one more minute the white-haired Guy scoffed saying that this rundown Place didn't even have a box of wine he'd only found the cigarette from the body

of an old man his friend countered that if the place wasn't a school canteen where would he find wine to get wine he'd need to head to the principal's office a bald guy chimed in noting that the principal's office was locked by some fool of a student so what could they do one of the men suggested they wait for the fifth brother la woo And proposed throwing all the girls to the zombies the white-haired guy objected arguing that they shouldn't throw them away this angered the bald guy who seemed to think they'd gone beyond the

point of no return as they conversed the giant who had been closely watching the girl with Jong walked in the room erupted in chance of fifth brother in his honor one of the men informed him that the building they were occupying was now surrounded by a Massive horde of zombies effectively trapping them inside one guy grumbled about how one night had dramatically shifted the world's balance Lau laughed dismissing the concern he told them to do whatever they pleased asserting that in this world only the strongest reign supreme even the apocalypse he claimed only made their

rule more Divine the scene shifts to Jong risking his his life as he weaves through the perilous streets in search of the dungeon key his Movements are Swift and calculated effortlessly darting past lurking monsters however the girl struggles to keep up her breath coming in short ragged gasps fear and exhaustion weigh heavily on her and she finally begs him to slow down terrified that he might leave her behind irritated he begrudgingly slows his Pace but not without grumbling under his breath he mutters about how she's become a burden feeling tricked into helping her simply Because

she appeared helpless his frustration is palpable yet despite his annoyance she manages to keep up pushing herself to match his Pace after what feels like an eternity they finally reach the school the silence that greets them is Eerie with not a single sound to indicate the presence of the undead the air is thick with tension and he can't help but wonder where the zombies have gone he guesses that the quiet is due to the undead being gathered elsewhere by Sheer chance he's right inside the school multiple students have barricaded themselves in classrooms desperately trying to

escape the undead that had overrun the area their faces are marked by despair knowing that even if the zombies don't breach their makeshift defenses hunger and isolation will eventually take their toll as they cautiously move through the hallways a girl trapped inside one of the classrooms spots them her eyes widen With a mix of Hope and Desperation and she begins calling out for help her voice trembling with fear the girl at his side instinctively moves to respond but he immediately stops her his hand shooting out to silence her don't he admonishes his his voice low

and Stern he reminds her that making noise could attract the undead lurking nearby potentially leading them straight to their location he points out with a bluntness that stings that she wouldn't Be able to defend herself if they were swarmed his words are harsh but they're rooted in the Grim reality of their situation she hesitates a Pang of sadness washing over her as she looks at the trapped students the sight of their helplessness and fear tugs at her heart filling her with distress she wants to help them to do something anything to ease their suffering but

he ever the realist quickly quashes her thoughts of heroism he explains that they have no Idea how many zombies are outside those classrooms and that he's not equipped to take on such a large number his tone is firm as he tells her that this is the apocalypse and if she truly wants to save those students she'll have to find a way to do it on her own the gravity of his words sinks in and she nods a quiet apology slipping from her lips as she followed him through the dark dilapidated corridors of the school a

flurry of questions raced through her Mind why had he chosen this school as his destination was there any hidden Sanctuary where they could evade the Relentless zombies the Eerie Silence of the school punctuated only by their footsteps heightened her anxiety trying to break the tension she gathered the courage to thank him for saving her earlier and asked for his name he stopped abruptly and turned to face her with a skeptical look he asked her if she really thought a single word from Her could repay the risk he had taken his tone dripping with sarcasm she

was moment arily stunned unsure of how to respond his bluntness caught her off guard in frustration she asked what he actually wanted with a smirk he told her that he had saved her to use her as bait he added almost casually that in a tight spot a pack of instant noodles would be more useful than she was his remark left her speechless and taken aback by his cold indifference swallowing her Pride She introduced herself as leang Chu Yin in return he shared his name despite his harsh demeanor she decided to stick with him convincing herself

that deep down he was a decent person even if his mood was perpetually sour as they continued their search for the dungeon key the distant cries for help from a corner classroom reached their ears he hypothesized that the survivors inside might have seen the key or at least had valuable information about its location he instructed leang To stay hidden and with agility climbed up a pillar to reach the classroom the noise from his movement attracted the undead inside the school as a monstrous creature lunged at him he reacted swiftly he delivered a powerful kick to

one's head sending it crashing into a nearby wall Landing with Precision he drew his blade and in a series of Swift calculated strikes dispatched the approaching Undead inside the classroom three survivors huddled together Their Fear palpable among them was teacher Pooh who stepped forward with a mixture of relief and gratitude he scanned the room assessing the survivors and wondering if they had seen where the key might have fallen teacher puuh introduced himself and explained that they were trapped with two students and a girl named Chiang who had sadly perished Pooh asked if they had seen

a ray of light emphasizing that any detail could be crucial he promised that if They helped him locate the key he would ensure their safety the two students shook their heads indicating they hadn't witnessed the light however Pooh spoke up with certainty saying she had indeed seen it and even knew where it had landed his curiosity peaked he immediately pressed for the exact location of the light Pooh however insisted that he first rescue them before revealing the key location doubts clouded his judgment and he hesitated Questioning whether he would really assist them once he knew

where the key was Pooh described the key's descent in Vivid detail hoping it would be enough to secure their rescue despite the detailed description he assessed that the situation was Dire there were too many Undead outside to guarantee the safety of all three survivers with his current capabilities he could only take two people with him the children outraged by his decision demanded an Explanation for his apparent disregard for their companions life they argued vehemently finding his choice unfair and unre reasonable he sneered at their frustration dismissing their pleas with a grim reminder there's no fairness

in the apocalypse Only the Strong Survive while the weak are left to perish with a hardened resolve he instructed them to remain where they were if they chose to wait for death drawing his sword and bracing for any potential attacks he Made his decision he would take the two who were willing to follow him leaving the rest to their uncertain fate the students were gripped by fear but Pooh gently caressed their shoulders trying to offer them a shred of comfort he standing at a distance ordered them to decide who among them would leave with him

understanding that only two could be saved out of the three Pooh didn't hesitate without a second thought she selflessly offered the students the Chance observing this he assured her that he would safely escort the two children out however when he pressed for the key exact location Pooh to his surprise insisted that he wait until after the students were secure she promised to write down the location and toss it down to him only only once they were safe it was clear that Pooh had meticulously planned this and her every move was calculated to ensure the children's

survival with a cold tone he Remarked that he hoped she wouldn't regret her self-sacrificing choice and then ordered the students to follow him he could feel the presence of three zombies lurking just behind the door he quickly instructed Pooh to lock the door as soon as they exited as he opened the door one of the zombies tried to slip through but he was faster delivering a swift kick that sent the creature crashing into the wall in one fluid motion he decapitated it with a precise Slice Pooh though outwardly stern was just as terrified as the

others yet she stayed firm fully aware of her duty to protect her students grabbing the two girls he led them swiftly down the stairs but something felt a miss the entire coridor was eerily Silent not a single Undead could be seen A looming monstrous presence seemed to hang in the air and he quickly warned them to slow down the students their anxiety mounting asked if he had sensed something wrong As the path ahead appeared clear ignoring whether his instincts might be off he pressed on racing down the stairs suddenly a massive shadowy serpent lunged at

them in a surprise attack he reacting in an instant drew his machete and swung above only for the serpent to vanish before his blade could connect the girls bewildered asked why they had stopped again more convinced now of a lurking danger he hushed them but after a thorough search he found nothing Leaving him to question whether his senses were playing tricks on him the shadow serpent crept closer and closer to the girls inch by inch while they remained oblivious to the looming danger he trailing behind was lost in thought the strange Aura around him gnawing

at his instincts the serpent flicked its tongue teasing Shia's hair and sending a chill down her spine when she turned to look her blood ran cold she was face to face with the Serpent's gaping mouth Filled with sharp Jagged teeth ready to crush her panic-stricken she nearly lost control of herself in that Split Second he hurled his machete at the Serpent's mouth with a sharp swoosh a piece of the Serpent's lip fell to the ground the building echoed with its agonizing shriek a sound that pierced through the gut and heart enraged the serpent lashed out

with its Claw at him but instead of retreating he stood his ground meeting the attack headon with his fist to his Shock the punch didn't even phase the Beast he quickly realized that the serpent had metalclad arms making it a nearly indestructible foe its Relentless attacks barely dodged by by him proved it was far harder to defeat than he had anticipated seeing the Serpent's Relentless strength he launched a perfect roundhouse kick aiming for its head with all his might but the attack seemed to have no effect instead the Serpent's insane strength allowed it to Seize

him by the leg with a brutal force it slammed him into the ground so hard that the floor cracked beneath him the girl watched in horror her heart gripped with fear if he couldn't defeat this monster none of them had a chance to escape desperately she called out to her companion Lee for help but to her dismay she fled abandoning her in panic now he appeared heavily injured and barely able to move the serpent raised its powerful arms High preparing to crush him with All its might was this how his tragic life would end just

as the serpent was about to deliver the Fatal blow a sudden bang echoed through the hallway the serpent was sent flying Northwest by a gunshot he had managed to draw a gun just in time he felt a surge of relief but his condition was far from stable the earlier impact had dislocated his right arm gritting his teeth he urged the girl to get up quickly if they wanted any chance of survival but before They could move the sound of metallic thuds echoed from the stairwell Tong Tong Tong as footsteps gradually Drew closer the girl's heart

leaped into her throat her fear spiking only then did he fully realize the gravity of their situation could The Gunshot have attracted nearby Undead seeing the impending danger he immediately shielded the two girls behind him but within seconds leang having come up from downstairs hurled her herself into his Arms breathless and terrified she stammered that she had waited for him so long she was scared to death relieved to see she wasn't one of the undead the two girls exhaled deeply through her fear leang explained that after a prolonged search she had finally found him earlier

at the multimedia Center a sudden flash of light had erupted causing a horde of Undead to Surge in from all directions trapped in the chaos she had been overwhelmed with fear and with no other Option had fled in desperation racing upstairs to find him as he absorbed her account the pieces fell into place the source of light that attracted the undead was clear now it was the light from the wheel as the old saying goes sometimes you search fruitlessly only to find what you need by chance he quickly gathered everyone and led them downstairs on

the way down Lee expressed her regret to Shia for not being able to help her and she accepted it with Understanding acknowledging it wasn't intentional they soon exited the classroom Building without incident seeing that all the student were safe Pooh hesitated for a moment considering whether she should have kept the keys location secret trusting that he would eventually come to rescue her but she quickly dismissed the thought realizing he still had the kids to worry about she tossed down the paper with the location written on it leang asked him why he Hadn't helped Pooh he

explained that the teacher had mistrusted him so he decided to teach her a lesson as he unfolded the paper and read it he discovered that the key had landed at a construction site an out ofth way spot that most people would overlook realizing the importance of finding the wheel that leang mentioned he concluded that the wheel was his top priority distrusting the students reliability he decided to look for the wheel first rather than search for the Dungeon key with them he informed everyone that they were heading to the multimedia Center despite her warning that it

was overrun with zombies he brushed off the danger confident that the greater the risk the greater the reward with determination he instructed the students to follow him when they arrived at the multimedia Center it quickly became apparent that it was aing with Undead Lee alarmed questioned whether he had deliberately LED them Into such a dangerous situation it seemed to her that after getting the information he needed he considered them Expendable and intended to use them as bait for the undead he hearing their concerns responded firmly he explained that the apocalypse was filled with Undead no

matter where one went he assured them that he wasn't so despicable as to use them as mere bait he made it clear that they had to wait outside until he cleared out the center And returned after giving his instructions he ventured alone into the multimedia Center leang wondered why he was so determined to go inside was there something crucial he needed Lee meanwhile was concerned that he was making a grave mistake despite having a gun she doubted his ability to take on all the zombies alone while they took refuge in a hallway Lee decided they

should leave for a safer location she grabbed Shia's hand and urged her to Come with her insisting that they couldn't wait around and risk being killed by the zombies she frightened Shia by suggesting that Jong might not survive the overwhelming number of Undead and that they needed to avoid the same fate Xiao who was soft-hearted hesitated worried about leaving him after all he had done for them leang sensing something off asked what they were planning Lee fibbed claiming she had a stomach ache and that xia was just Accompanying her to the washroom although she found

this explanation suspicious her primary concern was for jong's safety as he stepped inside he saw a group of pitch black Undead the situation was Grim but he noted with relief that there were no mutated monsters among them unlike before he prepared for yet another intense battle knowing there was no room for hesitation his right arm hung uselessly at his side dislocated from a previous encounter Without wasting any time he grabbed his arm and biting down on his machete to keep from making noise forcefully reset it with a sharp crack the pain shot through him but

he didn't dwell on it he had been through this process many times in his past life and knew better than to let it slow him down the noise however caught the attention of the nearby zombies who began close cling in he didn't hesitate he quickly drew his pistol and started firing each shot Precise and controlled the zombies fell one by one their bodies piling up on the floor as he methodically cleared the room the sound of gunfire echoed through the building alerting those outside to the danger within Lee assessing the situation immediately formulated a plan

she decided to take shelter in the teacher's dormatory and urged Shia to come with her knowing they needed to act fast however xia broke away from her grip and ran toward leang pleading with Her to join them instead Lee frustrated by her actions muttered that bringing her along was a mistake thinking more people would only mean less food to go around leang however refused to abandon him she questioned how long they thought they could survive without him he was a powerful Ally and leaving him behind would be a death sentence for them she tried to

change liang's mind pointing out the risks but leang countered with cold logic if J couldn't handle himself Inside the center they had no chance of surviving outside she was left without a response silenced by her reasoning inside the building the battle continued Jung moved with Precision cutting down the undead with ruthless efficiency the floor was littered with the corpses of the zombies he had defeated a stark reminder of the Relentless fight he had just endured then something caught his eye amidst the chaos standing before him was a color wheel distinct and Unexpected he approached cautiously

realizing as he got closer that this wasn't just any ordinary wheel it was an extra rare tricolor wheel far more valuable than anything he had anticipated finding he paused his mind racing as he assessed the situation he knew its value and what it could mean for his future efforts the exhaustion from the battle faded into the background as he prepared to claim this rare find understanding the significance Of what lay before him in the apocalypse Wheels wield incredible power with the potential to save lives while ordinary Wheels range from grade 1 to nine there are

also special multicolored Wheels the tricolor wheel the seven color wheel and the nine-color wheel ordinary Wheels offer equipment and food but multicolored Wheels provide extraordinary benefits they Grant formidable battle skills such as Warrior Assassin and Ranger abilities as well as Incredible support skills like doctor Alchemy and even Chef attaining a professional skill from a wheel unlocks its greatest resources for instance an assassin with a wild battle sword could achieve movie-like precision and prowess however compared to a single color wheel multicolored wheels are incredibly rare they there's also a risk if the wheel lands on a

black area it could explode like a bomb as he focused on the wheel he noticed a badge within the black area Indicating it was a professional section and therefore safe from explosion despite his string of rotten luck he had unexpectedly found a tricolor wheel could it be that Shin's luck had somehow transferred to him in the hallway xia desperately tried to persuade leang to flee from the center but she steadfastly refused instead she warned them about the danger of making noise and attracting more zombies Lee however was confident that the Zombies wouldn't pose a threat

since they were all drawn to Jong inside the center she forcefully dragged sha away sarcastically suggesting they should wait for his corpse their supposed savior leang enraged by this remark slapped Lee across the face demanding she remember who had saved her life Lee stung by the humiliation retaliated with a slap of her own warning leang not to think he would always be there to protect them as the tension escalated Shia tried to lead her away from the area unaware of the looming Danger ERS of the Apocalypse meanwhile in the darkness a pair of watchful eyes

focused intently on leang who remained blissfully unaware of the impending danger fifth brother enjoying their recent fight gave orders to his men to capture her immediately despite their concerns about plunging into a horde of zombies their leader was confident that all the zombies had been lured into the Center making it relatively safe Elsewhere on the other side Lee fuming with anger searched for a good hiding spot xia bewildered and questioning their decision to go off alone tried to keep her voice low knowing that Lee had already been slapped for her concerns as they descended the

stairs they arrived at a location where they could clearly detect someone's presence due to subtle movements meanwhile leang was consumed by anger at The Ungrateful girls as she Wandered aimlessly she heard their distant screams at that moment a dark shadow began to close in on her before she could react a man seized her from behind restraining her tightly Leon Cried Out loudly in panic but her please went unheard suddenly a crude man appeared from around the corner learing as he remarked on liang's beauty he ordered his men to take her to Lau for their Amusement

she warned them that Jong would not take kindly to this but They dismissed her confident that he was likely dead and that no one would come to her rescue back inside the multimedia Center he wished for a cheat code to automatically gather all the crystals because in an apocalypse the only thing worse than zombies is manual labor unaware of the chaos outside he wished for a cheat code like in a game game that could automatically gather all the crystals for him Lee and Shia sprinted through the desolate streets a Savage Zombie closing in on them

with terrifying speed their breath came in ragged gasps as they cried out for help but Lee quickly silenced Shia warning her that shouting would only draw more of the undead to their location in her desperation Lee stumbled her legs giving way beneath her xia noticing her friend's struggle stopped in her tracks and extended a hand to help her up the zombie was nearly upon them its growls growing louder but Lee driven by an Overwhelming instinct to survive made a split-second decision with a forceful shove she pushed Shia directly into the path of the approaching zombie

using her as bait to buy herself time to escape xia's eyes widened in shock and disbelief as she was thrown to the ground left to the mercy of the undead the zombie pounced on her with feral aggression and within moments her screams were silenced replaced by the grizzly sounds of her demise Lee Drenched in sweat and shaking from the near Miss forced herself to keep moving she retraced her steps back to the spot where Jong had instructed them to wait only to be confronted by a horrifying sight leang was being dragged Away by a group

of kidnappers her struggles feudal against their overwhelming strength fear gripped Lee as she watched the scene unfold knowing that if she stayed she could easily share the same fate without a second thought Lee began to back away Hoping to escape unnoticed but one of the kidnappers caught sight of her and immediately gave Chase Panic surged through her as she fled once more her lungs burning with every breath meanwhile leang refusing to give in without a fight managed to sink her teeth into the hand of one of her captors he cursed in pain loosening his grip

just enough for her to break free she stumbled and fell but before the kidnapper could recapture her a sharp Blade suddenly pierced his hand the kidnapper howled in agony releasing her as he clutched his wounded hand she seizing the opportunity scrambled to her feet and rushed towards Jong who had just arrived in the nick of time she threw herself into his arms relief washing over her as she realized he had come to save her the building echoed with the kidnapper gut-wrenching scream as he pulled the blade from his hand his face contorted in Fury he

spat out a Threat vowing that his boss and the notorious fifth brother would never let this insult go unpunished but before he could finish his sentence Jong delivered a crushing punch to his chest followed by a brutal kick to his face that sent him crumpling to the ground with the kidnappers incapacitated he turned to leang his expression serious he asked where the other girls were and she explained that Lee and xia had doubted he would make it out alive so they had Decided to head in a different direction as they spoke Lee staggered into view

breathless and disheveled she quickly fabricated a story claiming that xia had fallen behind and was overtaken by zombies her voice trembled as she apologized promising to be more cautious in the future leang asked him what he was going to plan to do with the kidnappers he told leang that she needn't worry the zombies would take care of them there was no point in Wasting any more energy on scum like them with the multimedia center now secured and the undead threat eliminated Lee finally understood the full extent of his strength she realized that staying close to

him was her best shot at survival in this unforgiving world he sensing her Newfound resolve instructed them both to remain at the media center while he went back to retrieve someone important as he disappeared into the Shadows once more the gravity of their Situation sank in they were now bound to his fate their survival intertwined with his as they navigated The Perils of a world overrun by the Dead and ruled by the ruthless teacher Pooh heard knocking on the door and in her despair grabbed a Shard of broken glass ready to end her life in

the chaos of the Apocalypse where the undead roamed freely she feared the worst and believed that death was imminent she resolved to end her life on her own terms feeling that her Mission to help her students had been fulfilled just as she was about to act Jong kicked the door open with a forceful bang interrupting her desperate decision his timely arrival prevented her from making a tragic mistake teacher Pooh threw herself in into his arms tears flowing as she sobbed that she genuinely believed she was going to die she thanked him for not abandoning her

feeling satisfied after dealing with the kidnappers Jong tried to maintain his Composure struggling to hide his blush he explained that his actions had been a lesson in trust and now he was taking her to safety on the other hand leang and Lee were busy collecting crystals as he had instructed Lee complained about the task finding it repulsive when he returned with pooh she quickly approached her student embracing her and anxiously asking about Xiao upon learning that xia had been killed by the undead puuh blamed herself unaware that Lee had actually pushed Xiao into the path

of danger seeing pu's distress Lee feigned sympathy claiming that xia's death could have been avoided if Jong had agreed to save everyone at once she implied that they were indirectly responsible for Shia's demise hearing Lee's accusations leang erupted shouting that if she hadn't ignored the advice and insisted on bringing xia along the girl might not have been killed by the undead Lee however retorted that both Leang and Jong had used people as bait for the undead playing the role of Saviors while putting others at risk before Lee could say more he slapped her face and

told her to think before speaking in the future he clarified that if he could save her he could just as quickly leave her to the undead he hoped the slap would make her realize that in this apocalypse taking on more people meant more danger and he was under no obligation to save her saving her was an Act of benevolence not saving her was his right seeing the tension escalate Pooh quickly intervened trying to calm things down she explained that children often speak without thinking and urged everyone not to take it personally she also expressed her

gratitude to him for saving her life leang asked him why they had been tasked with collecting all the crystals without answering immediately he led the group to where the tricolor wheel had appeared leang was surprised To discover this was where the crystals were meant to be used he then explained that unlike the rank wheel the tricolor wheel didn't simply count the number of crystals instead it measured their energy to meet a specific activation threshold he inserted 26 rank one crystals into the energy plate and the wheel began to spin rapidly a wave of relief washed

over him knowing the effort to gather the crystals hadn't been wasted the wheel eventually stopped On the red square and a box emerged he opened it with eager anticipation expecting an influential combat profession however his excitement quickly turned to shock when he saw the profession he had been awarded Glory Artisan realizing this role wouldn't make him exceptional he was disappointed from the colored Wheels one can receive both a primary profession and a support profession support professions are secondary and do not enhance combat Abilities Artisan is classified as a support type profession professions are ranked into

four tiers trainee novice intermediate and advanced he hadn't expected that the crystals he had painstakingly gathered would result in such a seemingly useless profession this outcome only reinforced his belief that his luck was entirely cursed Lee asked to see the reward he re received feeling that all her hard work collecting crystals shouldn't be used by him alone He handed the paper to Pooh and began examining the other items the wheel had produced including a four-colored badge that seemed unusual to him she read the page discovering that the wheel could Grant various ranks and Specialties The

Artisan profession included five techniques enchantment magic collection Mosaic and crafting the mention of five types of techniques piqued his interest prompting him to quickly reclaim the page and read through the details he Realized realized that this Artisan profession wasn't as useless as he thought the skills could produce and upgrade weapons and greatly enhance their capabilities each color of metal represented a different ability with these new skills his Weaponry would see a significant boost in power seeing the potential he noted that there were still plenty of crystals left from the undead he called everyone to help

gather them intending to eliminate a few more Zombies in the area by doing so they could be in a stronger position he emphasized the need to spend more time acquiring skills for better self-defense as they worked to clear the corpses Lau watched from a distance he was impressed by his strength having single-handedly cleared the entire media center of zombies however he was puzzled by their actions mainly why they were meticulously sorting through the bodies when he noticed one of the zombie heads Missing a crystal he quickly pieced together their plan sensing the shift in his

boss's Focus beon his assistant asked what he had discovered fifth brother ordered him to assemble everyone immediately as they had an urgent task ahead after clearing the piles of corpses leang felt a gnawing hunger since she hadn't eaten in a day he handed her a food packet and advised her to drink water from the school bathroom noting that the water tank still worked He gave her a backpack containing 3 days worth of food and some emergency medicine instructing her to take good care of it as it held life-saving supplies he told her to stay in

the media center which was relatively safe while he went outside to handle some tasks with a hint of sadness leang asked if he was planning to go off alone again he replied that he needed to retrieve the key to the Mysteries first he reminded them to continue Gathering Crystals and assured them he would return soon Lee concerned questioned what they should do if zombies attacked while he was away he bluntly stated that it was not his responsibility to protect them he then picked up an ordinary wooden stick and demonstrated his crafting skills in seconds the

stick transformed into a long wooden spear he distributed the spears to them for self-defense warning them that without proper protection only death would await Them puuh understood the harsh re and acknowledged that they needed to learn to fend for themselves in this ruthless apocalyptic world with the spears handed out he left to continue his work he headed alone to the construction site of the nearby School's new building a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky as he entered the site to assess the situation instinctively he caught the falling figure realizing it wasn't an object but

a girl in a Military uniform when their eyes met she sprang out of his arms and quickly grabbed his uniform he taken aback shouted that she must be out of her mind for treating her sick avior like this despite his protest she maintained a Stern demeanor interrogating him with sharp questions about his identity and reasons for being there seeing that reason wasn't working he quickly used Force to free himself from her grip then restrained her by choking her neck he Demanded answers to the same question she had posed she realizing being attacked by someone with

high combat skills warned him that he was assaulting an officer recognizing this he eased his grip she admired his quick reflexes and asked if he was trained in martial Arts he admitted he had practiced fighting for 10 years though he started as a novice a bullet zipped past them narrowly missing its Mark he reacted instantly pulling the girl with him as He ducked behind a nearby wall for cover she quickly explained that the people chasing her were death row inmates who had escaped in the chaos of the Apocalypse his tension eased slightly as he recalled

how in the previous apocalypse these criminals had run rampant with a grim smile he decided it was time to be less restrained however he noted a sign ific problem the criminals were armed to the teeth having completely raided a weapons Depot they Were well aware of their Firepower advantage and had already begun to display their unhinged nature among the group of criminals their leader Lao Chen barked orders at his subordinate Del to force the girl out of hiding Dolly hesitated for a moment asking about the man with her to which Chen coldly replied that he

was to be killed on site with that Dolly eagerly charged toward them intent on delivering a fatal head shot but as he approached a single Bullet pierced the center of his forehead dropping him instantly he hadn't taken down criminals in a while but his aim was still deadly accurate the sudden death of Dal sent the gang into a frenzy they Unleashed a wild barrage of bullets at his previous position trying to suppress any threat however they were caught off guard when he suddenly appeared above them his position elevated before they could react he took aim

and fired a shot Straight into laan's chest killing him instantly Panic erupted among Chan's remaining Associates as they scrambled to aim at him him the policewoman with him sprang into action with lightning speed she delivered a powerful knee strike to one of the criminals following up with a precise punch that sent him flying the criminal now on the ground and begging for mercy looked up at her with fear but before she could decide his fate Jong had already pulled the Trigger ending his life with a cold unhesitating shot the policewoman rounded on him scolding him

for killing a criminal who had already surrendered she questioned his actions asking why he had pulled the trigger when the man was no longer a threat he didn't offer an answer his expression remaining hard and unreadable as he holstered his weapon after ensuring the criminal was dead she questioned him again about his actions he explained that he was doing what Police officers should have done eliminating dangerous criminals he murmured that in the apocalypse there were countless cases where people begged for help not just from the undead but from scum likee death row criminals who prayed

on them he recounted how in his past life his ex-girlfriend was brutally raped and killed by such criminals he emphasized that since these Criminal were already sentenced to death he would show them no mercy she looked at him Noting his cold demeanor while she understood his reasoning she was struck by how young he was yet so mercilessly coldblooded she wondered what experience had hardened him so profoundly on the other side of the city a man nervously informed La wo that the two people he had sent to rescue had already been bitten to death by zombies

the news sent a surge of anger through Lao wo but when the man suggested avoiding Jong due to his formidable martial arts skills lau's Response was Swift and brutal he landed a heavy punch on the man's face knocking him off balance Lau sneered and declared that killing him was the key to controlling the entire area with him out of the way they would claim all the weapons resources and women he then turned to address the group of criminals he had gathered his voice booming with authority he announced that someone had dared to act with impunity

on their territory and worse had killed two of Their brothers bian not fully grasping the gravity of the situation foolishly tried to argue knew that the two men had been killed by zombies not by Jong this only fueled La wo's Fury he struck the man again silencing him with a warning to keep his mouth shut unless he wanted to lose more than just his dignity he then clarified to the group that the apocalypse had changed the rules while they had previously operated in the shadows now they were free to take what They wanted and no

one could infringe on that freedom not even Jong the man who dared to threaten their reign of terror would be dealt with swiftly and ruthlessly the criminals roared in agreement Wu's words igniting their blood lust with a malevolent gleam in his eyes La wo vowed that Jong would not survive the day he then issued orders to beon understanding that this mission was crucial to solidifying their control over the territory meanwhile Jong and The policewoman arrived at the site where the dungeon key had supposedly Fallen she asked what they were looking for as they began searching

the area he explained that they were searching for an essential key that he needed to retrieve at all costs sensing the gravity of his words she pressed for more details he described the key as unique in shape and easily recognizable urging her to be vigilant in their search determined to help she joined the Search with renewed Focus as the sky began to darken he knew the key would start to emit bright Rays making it easier to spot he was deep in thought strategizing their next steps when suddenly she called out that she had found a

key he quickly turned to her a flicker of Hope in his eyes only for his anticipation to be dashed when he realized it wasn't the right key he instructed her to discard it and continue the search as they resumed Searching her sharp eyes caught something unusual behind a nearby dog's paw she spotted glowing green eyes peering back at her momentarily startled she pointed it out to him those weren't just any eyes they belonged to a mutated dog a creature far more dangerous than the zombies they had been dealing with realizing the gravity of the situation

he knew they were in for a fight the mutated dog was a formidable opponent and with its enhanced abilities he Gripped his weapon preparing for the confrontation while the police stealed herself for the battle ahead the search for the dungeon key had just taken a deadly turn it was a level two mutated dog and the sight of its sheer size and strength was enough to unsettle anyone who charged at them with a menacing growl he fired Two Shots quickly but the agile Beast dodged effortlessly the policewoman beside him was equally helpless the dog's speed and

Unpredictability exceeded their expectations as the massive dog lunged at him he instinctively braced himself for a vicious attack however instead of feeling sharp teeth sink sink into his flesh he was met with something entirely unexpected the dog began frantically licking his cheeks its tail wagging furiously he was caught off guard struggling to comprehend the bizarre behavior of what he had assumed was a dangerous creature the policewoman Watched in disbelief as the Dog Licked him saying looks like it's trying to turn you into a chew toy or maybe just a really moist snack he looked closer

at the dog and a flicker of recognition crossed his face there was something familiar about the dog's tail something that sparked a memory from his childhood he recalled a time when he had encountered a small hungry puppy desperately trying to steal food from a drunken man the man had retaliated cruy Striking the puppy with a glass bottle and stepping on its tail breaking it in the process young Jong unable to stand the sight of such cruelty had devised a clever ruse to protect the puppy he convinced the man that the dog was infected with dangerous

bacteria which successfully scared the man off and save The Puppy from further harm he had felt a deep sense of accomplishment and relief that day the dog had remembered him and was expressing its gratitude in The only way it knew with eager licks and wagging tail touched by the dog's affection he reached into his pack and pulled out a cookie he offered it to the dog which gratefully accepted the treat devouring it in seconds this small act of kindness stirred something within him making him reflect on the bond he had shared with the dog as

they grew up now reunited under the most unexpected circumstances standing before the fully grown and mutated dog he realized that This was the very same puppy he had had saved all those years ago the policewoman still observing expressed her amazement that he could recognize the dog despite its transformation she was curious about the peculiar name yellow pill that he called it he explained with a faint smile that the name was a nod to the dog's appearance when it was a stray a small round yellow ball of fur the name had stuck with him ever since

a reminder of the innocent Creature he had once protected as he finished explaining yellow pill resumed its affectionate licking seemingly Overjoyed to be reun United with its old friend the policewoman laughed genuinely touched by the sight at that moment she saw a different side of him a softer more compassionate side that stood in stark contrast to his usual tough and hardened demeanor across the city the three girls sat tensely around a table the atmosphere was Heavy with unspoken Frustration when Lee abruptly stood up pointing an accusing finger at leang she demanded to know if there

was any food left in the backpack leang firmly denied it Lee unconvinced and increasingly agitated insisted that she had seen canned meat inside earlier accusing her of hoarding the food and refusing to share Leong retorted that just allowing her to eat anything was already generous and that if she wasn't satisfied she could give up the cracker she had but Shameless and Relentless Lee tried to snatch the backpack from her pushing the boundaries of decency liang's frustration boiled over as she reminded her that the food had been entrusted to her by Jong and she had no

right to take it refusing to back down Lee resorted to her old bullying tactics demanding that they split the food evenly and accusing leang of using jong's name to intimidate them the argument escalated voices rising and tempers flaring until Pooh Finly stepped in urging everyone to calm down she pleaded with them to be thankful for what they had and not to waste their energy on unnecessary conflicts still seething from Lee's audacity leang resolved never to give her any more food no matter what though pu's intervention prevented the situation from spiraling out of control it left

a bitter taste in her mouth Lee realized that if teacher Pooh had intervened they might have managed to Get the remaining food the atmosphere remained tense but Pooh's calm words had at least restored a fragile semblance of order among them outside Jong suddenly sneezed causing the policewoman to be concerned she asked if he was coming down with something with a Ry smile he joked that it might be because someone missed him he then suggested they search the area for resources noting that this location should be rich with supplies she agreed noting their good fortune and

Having a flashlight to locate the key otherwise finding it in the darkness would have been nearly impossible he advised her to turn off the light thinking that the absence of Illumination might help spot the key because it glows in the dark they continued their search absorbed in their task unaware of the ominous presence that lurked in the shadows inching closer in the pitch black surroundings he spotted a faint glimmer of light his Heart raced as he wondered if this was the key they sought he dug and to his immense relief Unearthed the dungeon key he

shouted with Triumph and the policewoman cheered along with him but their celebration was short-lived from the Shadows a long writhing tongue shot out before they could react an enormous mutated lizard lunged forward its sticky tongue snaring the policewoman with a sickening slurp as she was about to be devoured Jong acted swiftly drawing his Mountain dagger he Unleashed cartisian strength with a mighty swipe severing the lizard's tongue and freeing her from its grasp she stared in stunned silence at the massive creature while he breathless and alert prepared for the next attack the lizard undeterred lashed out

with its sharp claws he deftly dodged its strikes but was briefly caught off guard as his loyal dog yellow pill sprang into action the dog engaged the lizard its movements agile and Determined drawing the beast's attention away taking advantage of the distraction he jumped up and drove his dagger into one of the lizards eyes the creature roared in Fury thrashing wildly as his stamina began to falter under the Relentless assault even though he was exhausted he stayed determined his Focus locked on subduing the Beast as the lizard charged again yellow pill bravely threw itself between

him and the monster despite his urgent shouts to move yellow Pill stood its ground roaring defiantly and shielding him from the Ferocious beasts assault as yellow pill defended Jong the dog's bravery made Jong joke looks like my dog's auditioning for a role in a monster movie Best Supporting can9 yellow pill ignored his words and charged at the lizard biting fiercely the lizard retaliated by whipping its tail sending the dog flying the lizard didn't stop there and tried to grip it with claws seeing his loyal pet in Dire Straits he rushed to block the lizard's next

attack he blocked its attack with his dagger but couldn't resist the strength of the dino lizard and got thrown away by it now towering over Jong with its mouth wide open the lizard seemed poised to devour him just then a sharp blade streak through the air cutting through the lizard precisely the policewoman had managed to defeat the monster with a single slash the Beast immediately gets grounded exhausted he Sat down taking a moment to catch his breath he expected such a ferocious act from her he gently stroked yellow pills head praising the dog for its

bravery well done he said relieved to see that yellow pill had shown remarkable courage despite being a dog in the face of danger yellow pill responded by licking him all over leaving him covered in slobber the policewoman chuckled at the scene her earlier tension easing now that the immediate threat had passed as They caught their breath after the fight two suspicious men stealthily approached and quickly concealed themselves it seemed la delegates had arrived unaware of the looming threat he continued his work methodically digging into the head of a lizard the policewoman intrigued questioned him about

his actions and observed a crystal covered in green blood he explained that this Crystal was a crucial resource in their post-apocalyptic world he urged her to Examine it closely suggesting it held more than magical properties when she asked if the Crystal had any inherent magic he hinted that it had even greater Secrets once she understood its true nature the policewoman's Curiosity was peaked and she pressed for more information true to form he insisted on a condition before divulging more details the policewoman however was unimpressed by his offer she found it audacious for Jong to impose

conditions On a police officer and decided she could uncover the crystal Secrets alone he was taken aback by her immediate rejection something he hadn't encountered from females before unlike shin and leang who had been more receptive she having decided turned to leave stating that with everything settled it was time for them to part ways he was taken aback by how swiftly their brief friendship had ended hesitantly he called after her admitting He had a somewhat unreasonable request given the perilous surroundings the harsh environment and the many threats they faced he proposed that teaming up might

offer better coordination and safety she considered his suggestion stroking her chin thoughtfully he felt dejected and hung his head questioning why he seemed so pathetic yellow pill patted him gently despite his despondency offering a small comfort finally the policewoman looked at him With a hint of appraisal she remarked that while his behavior was odd he didn't seem like a wrong person extending her hand for a handshake she introduced herself as moay relieved and grateful he shook her hand and introduced himself in return while they were talking two Shady figures crept up their eyes falling on

a gun hidden in the rubble one of the men eagerly grabbed the weapon and whispered To His companion the other quickly clamped his Hand over his friend's mouth hissing for him to stay silent to avoid alerting their targets they swiftly followed them as they were about to leave suddenly they were confronted by two hoodlums from behind one of the hoodlums ordered him to surrender claiming they had no choice the second hoodlum bristling with anger retorted that La wo had instructed them to kill not capture with only one of the hoodlums brandishing a gun and preparing

to shoot the situation was Dire these two were out for revenge for their fallen comrades determined to make him pay for their brother's deaths but after half a day the anticipated gunshot never came Mo puzzled by the delay inquired about their asent identity he revealed that these men were criminals much like the one they had previously dispatched the gunman's face turned awkward as he glanced behind him why wasn't he firing His companion chastised him for his incompetence revealing that He hadn't disengaged the safety mechanism the gunman bewildered asked what the safety was admitting he was

a guard who had never handled a real gun before his partner was equally shocked realizing the guard's arrog was unfounded as the gun safety lever clicked off the yellow pill zombie dog sprang up from below causing both men to freeze in Terror the creature lunged at one of them sinking its teeth into his hand his scream for help echoed through The area as he desperately called out to his brother Dao who was already trying to escape realizing the Relentless nature of the zombie dog and the futility of seeking help DA's Panic escalated seizing the moment

Mo sprang into action with swift Precision she efficiently neutralized the remaining threats her movements a blur blur of expertise in a quick and decisive motion she kicked da in the face sending him crashing to the ground the sight of Mo's Impressive combat skills left him with no doubt Crossing her again would be a serious mistake with the two hoodlums now restrained and struggling he took a Firm Stance his tone was Stern as he demanded answers he made it clear that if they wanted to avoid losing too much blood they needed to reveal lao's whereabouts immediately

Lau was now strolling through the hallway where Jong had previously taken down the zombies he ordered Beyond to collect the crystals From the Undead's heads beon however was confused and suggested eating first as he was starving La wo known for his cruelty even toward his own men insisted he focus on the task to him these crystals were valuable and essential though beon saw them as worthless debris he struck beon in the head compelling him to work without further complaints Lau himself didn't fully understand the purpose of the crystals but their frequent recovery from zombies intrigued

Him the hidden uses of these crystals were mystery to him yet he was convinced of their significance the scene shifted to the three girls they were resting in a safe room within the media center having found temporary Refuge however Lee eyes sharp with malevolence opened her eyes after ensuring teacher Pooh was sound asleep she focused on leang Rising quietly she gripped a sharp Shard her expression filled with Dark Intent to put her vile plan into action Lee Approached leang with a cold determination she had always felt overshadowed by leang who acted Superior with jong's Port

now Lee was set on eliminating her and seizing the resources that could secure her own Survival as she prepared to strike the unexpected voice of teacher Pooh called out to her causing a jolt of fear to run through her startled Lee quickly hid the glass she had been holding behind her back and turned to face the voice she Put on a facade of Innocence pretending that she needed to use the bathroom her act of desperation was apparent as she shuffled away with a wretched expression her mind racing with frustration once inside the bathroom Lee's composure

shatter Ed the chance to carry out her plan had slipped through her fingers leaving her seething with rage and disappointment her tears flowed freely as she struggled to come to terms with her failed attempt her moment of Despair Was abruptly interrupted by a violent pounding on the bathroom door the harsh sounds reverberated through the small space each thud intensifying her Panic Lee's heart raced as she realized her time was running out the confrontation she had so carefully planned was slipping away and she was now trapped in a situation that threatened to expose her and undo

everything she had tried to achieve the atmosphere inside the room grew tense as Lee re-entered and asked Teacher Pooh who was trying to break down the door leang her voice trembling assured her that the door was locked tightly and no zombie could break it but the response came in the form of a massive strike that shattered the door sending splinters flying the girls now drenched in fear realized with horror that a gang of Ruthless criminals had breached their Sanctuary Panic surged as The Intruders made their way into the room the danger was palpable the girls

Were at the mercy of these merciless asants with a menacing grin one of the criminals snatched a weapon from leang her voice quivered with desperation as she demanded to know their intentions the thug puffing on a cigarette grabbed her face and sneered asking her what she thought another young criminal approached teacher Pooh who shouted in alarm demanding he keep his distance Lee saw an opportunity to escape in the chaos and began to slip away the gang Captain dong barked orders to his subordinates to capture her immediately one of his men appearing conflicted reminded dong that

La wo had only instructed them to kill Jong and take the girls dong his patience wearing thin roared back that la woo was not present and they were to follow his orders now he commanded them to go after the fleeing Lee a hefty criminal took off in Pursuit with one of his comrades warning him not to enjoy her alone the urgency Of the situation heightened as the girls faced an escalating threat their chances of Escape dwindling as the criminals closed in teacher Pooh was gripped tightly around the waist by one of The Intruders who had

shown an unsettling interest in her long ago with a chilling calmness he told her not to be afraid and asked if she remembered him trembling with fear she demanded to know who he was the man smirked as he revealed that he had once been a student At the school and had attended her classes she recognized him immediately as by a notorious Troublemaker known for his persistent and inappropriate advances his history of harassment had made him a constant threat and now he was finally getting his chance to act on his dark intentions similarly leang was forced

ful restrained by another Thug this man recognized her from her online presence as a celebrity on quo's platform both women were subjected to Degrading and violating treatment as the criminals reveled in their power and control indulging in their cruel and Despicable behavior on the other side Jong tightly bound the two Scoundrels after they revealed La Wu's identity and location Mo suggested they returned to the bureau to gather more people but he wasn't interested in that approach he preferred a direct strike rather than a drawn out plan MO warned him that La wo had additional allies

and that they Should be prepared before moving despite her concerns he acted swiftly dismissing the need for extensive preparation Mo although hesitant agreed to go with him curious about the key he carried she asked what its purpose was he explained that the key represented more than just an object it symbolized unlocking more profound Mysteries and understanding the changes in their world a bit puzzled Mo questioned what he meant by unlocking the future she wondered if the key was Indeed as signific ific as he suggested his response was cryptic but clear the world had changed dramatically

with the rise of Undead mutants and crystals the natural order had been disrupted in ways Beyond ordinary understanding and the key Secrets would only be revealed when they were strong enough to grasp its true power meanwhile the scene shifted to the fat guy relentlessly pursuing Lee down a narrow Corridor his heavy steps echoed as he taunted her threatening to Break her limbs once he caught her to ensure she wouldn't escape again Lee cornered at the end of the hallway by a locked door glanced back to see The Fat Guy's menacing figure approaching with a wicked

grin he grabbed her by the head with his large hands declaring that unlike other girls who ran from him he wouldn't let her Escape in this apocalyptic world Lee tried to Plate him with a mix of cunning and Desperation she vowed not to leave him or mock him Her words seemed to catch the fat guy off guard causing him to doubt her sincerity seizing the moment Lee attempted to flatter him praising his looks and claiming she would do anything for him as she spoke she placed his hand on her chest in a bold move despite

her attempts to seduce and manipulate him the fat guy remained unimpressed calling her average looking nonetheless his loyalty to dong drove him to drag her back to their Hideout as they returned Lee's expression shifted to panic upon seeing teacher Pooh in a dire State her clothes were torn and she had been brutally mistreated the fat guy mocked her distress while dong observing the scene remarked on teacher Pooh's Fierce resistance despite her attempts to fight back including biting one of Dong's men and causing a bloody nose Pooh had been subjected to severe abuse lie was overcome

with grief at the sight of her mentor's suffering dong then turned to The fat guy and noted that Lee had returned with him hoping to join their group despite teacher Pooh's horrific condition Lee remained determined to join Dong's faction dong Chief asked her if she genuinely wanted to be part of their group and Lee affirmed her commitment saying she was willing to do anything required unexpectedly dong Chief pointed to leang and told Lee to take care of her revealing that leang was her friend this Revelation shocked Leang who couldn't believe Lee had become treacherous without

hesitation Lee approached leang and slapped her face leang gasped in shock tears streaming down her face enjoying the display dong Chief ordered Lee to slap leang even harder this was an act Lee had long desired and she delivered each blow with increasing Force liang's face grew redder with each slap her cries mingling with her anger and humiliation she sobbed uncontrollably calling Lee an Evil monster while dong Chief's smile widened Satisfied by the show of dominance Lee pressed her head down she remarked that the longer one looked at her face the more repulsive it became dong

Chief standing confidently behind her declared that Lee had now qualified to join their ranks from this point forward no one would dare cause her any trouble the fat guy beaming with satisfaction congratulated Lee and enthusiastically welcomed her into their Group emphasizing that she was officially one of them dong alerted his companions revealing that they were once allies of the fourth brother however after the fourth brother had become a zombie they were forced to join lau and align themselves with him the fourth brother who was part of the axe head gang was skilled in martial arts

but Lau was a mere Troublemaker as Dong's companions described him they complained that Lao known for his cunning had taken All the valuable resources they had risked their lives to obtain moreover Lau had ordered them to leave and kill people but had vanished into the Shadows sneaking away Without a Trace upon hearing this dong expressed his frustration with LA wo's deceitful Behavior he argued that in the apocalyptic world they now lived in everyone had the opportunity to become a ruler there was no reason to live under someone else's rule or act as their Subordinate the

atmosphere shifted as Dong's words resonated with the group they began to chant voicing their discontent with lau's lack of loyalty and respect they declared that from now on they would follow dong Z as their leader with a unanimous agreement they appointed dong Z as the new head of the gang the atmosphere shifted as the hoodlums began to plot to eliminate la woo la woo once and for all the group then moved the cafeteria to set up an Ambush waiting for La wo to make his return as dong Chief entered the room he was struck on

the head by a bone causing him to cry out in surprise he demanded to know who had thrown the projectile Jong who had been eating was taken aback by Dong's presence he casually mentioned that dong had returned just in time for their meal and their luck seemed to be holding dong chief stunned and angered saw that he had consumed the precious chicken they had reserved for dejo he Demanded to know who Jong was and what he was doing there he responded coolly saying they had planned to kill him and now he had come right to

their doorstep Dong's suspicion grew that this might be the person fifth brother wanted Dead wondering if his fellow criminals had failed in their mission reading Dong's confusion he revealed that he had already dealt with the two brothers they had sent to kill him and was now ready to confront dong himself Dong's Subordinates seething with anger at him demanded whether they should kill him immediately however his situation worsened when they pushed leang out of the way dong Chief seized the opportunity to taunt him questioning if he was still so formidable while Mo standing beside him could

not help but curse dong repeatedly dong Chief's mocking continued growing more Furious but he remained Resolute insisting that the girl had no connection to him as They were merely using each other he declared that Dong's Filthy Hands and vile words were no longer needed the confrontation quickly escalated into a v ENT brawl he with precise aggression drove a dagger into Dong's arm causing him to lose his composure in a fit of rage he ordered his men to kill him all at once one attacker lunged at him first but he deafly dodged the strike and countered

with a powerful punch that knocked the asent unconscious seeing This dong yelled for his men to attack him immediately as four of his subordinates surrounded him dong signaled each one's movements taunting them to distract and unnerve them his trash talking only served to heighten the chaos of the fight aiming to throw them off balance and make their attempts to subdue him more frantic and disorganized one of the attackers lunged at him with a punch but his reflexes were Lightning Fast he seized the asant Arm twisting it with a brutal roll that dislocated it with a

sickening crack the man howled in pain crumpling to the ground meanwhile another opponent managed to grab a bystander from behind locking him in a vice likee grip with a swift punishing motion he slammed the victim into the ground pinning him down by his neck the scene now turned to a frail long-haired figure figure who trembled at the sight of him advancing toward him however the Burly Thug intent On confronting Jong himself shoved the weakling aside drawing a knife the fat man faced him his eyes gleaming with malice Jong darted aside with practiced ease evading the

initial slash and countering with a sharp blow to the fat man's shoulder the strike did not affect the robust adversary who retaliated by swinging his knife viciously at him in a rapid and decisive move he rested the knife from the fat man's hand and with a powerful soaring kick struck the giant Squarely in the face the force of the kick sent the thug crashing to the ground unconscious dong watching the fight unfold realized the sheer strength he possessed it was clear now why La Wu had instructed them to eliminate him with only one opponent remaining

dong Drew out teacher Pooh as a hostage holding her tightly and warning him to surrender his threats were dire if he did not comply teacher Pooh would pay the price dong insisted that they had Done no wrong to her but if he took action he would be responsible for her death behind him Lee stood silently having switched sides earlier his eyes were locked on dong his mind racing with strategies while dong shouted at him to kneel pulling on teacher Pooh's hair suddenly a brick flew through the air smashing Dong's face with a dull thud he

collapsed stunned into an unexpected nap Lee smartly switching allegiances again had thrown the brick despite her Previous betrayal her resolve to save teacher Pooh was unwavering driven by her gratitude for the the teacher's past kindness once the criminals were securely tied up with ropes Lee untied teacher Pooh expressing her relief and happiness to find her unharmed leang however could barely contain her disdain and muttered that Lee was nothing more than a betrayer teacher Pooh visibly upset pointed out that Lee had just saved her Mo clearly displeased Admonished leang for her lack of gratitude towards Lee

and teacher puuh who had already suffered enough Leong retorted that she was new and unfamiliar with the events that had transpired Jong siding with Le's parent Act of Bravery supported her role in Saving teacher Pooh leaving leang without any allies to expose Lee's true nature in a surprising turn leang embraced him sobbing and lamenting how much she missed him for arriving so late her emotional display Stirred jealousy in Mo and sparked a look of determined Vengeance in Lee who was on the verge of revealing her true intentions meanwhile Lao wo observing the three-colored wheel clutched

a handful of crystals his eyes narrowing with understanding he now grasped the source of jong's formidable strength with a determined scowl he declared that jong's survival was now a challenge he fully intended to meet the subordinate next to La Wu stared at the spinning Wheel with a mix of astonishment and skepticism can this big rock really draw rewards he muttered his disbelief clear in his voice La wo already irked responded with a sharp punch to his head silencing his incredulity the wheel worred and spun coming to a halt with a sudden chime the notification that

appeared announced the acquisition of the profession of trainy Alchemist his face Twisted into a scowl of Fury to him the reward seemed like a joke 20 Crystals spent on what appeared to be a meaningless profession frustration boiled over and he kicked Beyond barking orders for him to search the area for anything of real value unbeknownst to him his Reckless use of crystals had triggered a mechanism that would release the remaining crystals making the next draw significantly easier at that moment beon returned lugging a heavily loaded bag clearly packed with items they had taken from leang

earlier La wo eagerly Rifled through the contents snack packs canned goods and more were strewn about but one item caught his eye a vial labeled primary strengthening medicine the label promised rapid enhancements in physique speed and strength though it came with severe side effects including intense pain and potentially death for those unable to endure it being looked on in astonishment bewildered by Lao wo's familiarity with the medicine his eyes lit up with a sudden realization His new traine Alchemist profession must have given him insight into the potion's effects he suspected that Jong had used a

similar concoction to gain his impressive strength driven by a mix of curiosity and anger he decided to test the potion himself without a hint of hesitation he downed the entire vial in one gulp almost instantly his eyes widened and his veins bulged as his body surged with Newfound strength bian alarmed by the transformation began to Move toward the door intending to call for help but before he could Escape a massive fist crashed down in front of him blocking his way an enormous creature reminiscent of a shadow serpent roared menacingly laoo determined to test his enhanced

abilities charged forward to confront the Beast eager to see if the potion had truly delivered the power it promised meanwhile Jong and his team had returned to Shin's Hideout they unloaded their bags and sorted Through the loot they had recovered from La wo Jong needing to investigate further went up to the upper floors but found no one liang's urgent call from downstairs brought him back to the first floor where chaos had erupted in the kitchen amidst the mess a bloody handprint smeared across the wall caught his eye above it Written in Blood was a message

Supermarket got the wheel jong's heart sank as he realized this message could be a crucial lead Hinting at a possible clue or Direction in their search Lau stood proudly over the defeated Shadow serpent basking in the admiration of beon he was ready to claim victory over the undead confident they would soon fall before him however his Triumph was short-lived upon arriving to find dong and the others he discovered Beyond tied up and learned that dong Z had been killed and his resources stolen the Betrayal ignited a furious rage in La wo he roared in Anger

Vowing to hunt down Jong and kill him with his own hands he swore to torture him until he begged for mercy then finish him off by tearing him to shreds before he finished speaking Jong had already experienced a premonition standing behind him leang asked if he was okay wondering why he had suddenly shut uttered he explained that he had a strange premonition Mo suggested he rest if tired and Pooh advised him to drink water he mentioned that His companion Shin might be in danger and had left information behind so they needed to act quickly starting

with the supermarket leang feeling jealous asked if Shin was his girlfriend to which he replied that she was a good partner this response pleased leang and she excitedly urged him to prepare to find her liang's jealousy over Shin is like the classic love triangle from Mana just without the Sparkles and dramatic background music he reminded them to avoid disrupting him In this operation and emphasized that as teammates they needed to contribute effectively before the operation he carefully planned who should accompany him he considered leang intelligent and loyal making her an excellent choice to support him

in nurturing Shin Mo an expert in close combat would assist in fighting however he questioned whether he should bring teacher pooh pooh explained that she was skilled in healthcare and new Medical Treatments so She could provide support from the backline he agreed but warned them not to be a burden as he couldn't protect everyone he asked the police officer if she would assist in the operation and she readily agreed they packed their bags and set off quickly he thought about the urgency of finding shin and securing a new food source noting that their current supplies

would last only a few more days despite having many crystals they couldn't buy much with Them mo approached him curious about his preoccupation he explained that they would leave some items behind and only bring essential supplies Mo Sugg suggested that leaving items there wasn't safe and offered an idea he was surprised by her critical thinking which also solved his worry about the availability of scarce resources in their search they headed to a police Bureau truck which Mo revealed had been specially transported by her boss it was One of the best vehicles from the bureau equipped

with armor hill climbing capabilities and a hefty load capacity he thanked Mo recognizing that the armored truck would benefit their mission on the other hand La wo seething with Fury stormed out of the media center determined to kill Jong being asked what to do with the remaining companions as he made his way enraged by the Betrayal of dong and his team La Wu decided to leave them behind and went For the bloodthirsty zombies he was Furious that they had dared to betray him and believed he could handle the zombies alone their fate was sealed he

would focus on his mission of Vengeance against jong a while later he drove Mo's military truck from the bureau skillfully drifting it around corners the horde of Undead barely slowed the vehicle down their decaying bodies no match for the sheer power of the truck as he navigated through the chaos he Couldn't help but acknowledge how amazing the truck was sitting behind him Pooh sighed in admiration muttering how it was no wonder that Mo a guard far more capable than ordinary people had managed to secure such a beast of a vehicle leang on the other hand

felt a Pang of jealousy toward Mo she always craved the opportunity to prove her worth and to be the one earning credit for her contributions his attention shifted to the map in his hand Shin had Failed to Mark the location of the supermarket leaving them to navigate blindly he suggested that after they passed the intersection they should start hitting the supermarkets one by one his eyes scanned the road ahead but before he could finish a horde of Undead surged forward not with their usual mindless aggression but as if they were fleeing something far more terrifying

liang's sharp voice urged everyone to look at the side of the truck an Enormous mutated ape had appeared tearing through the zombie Corpses like they were nothing more than snacks his heart raced as he recognized the creature a mutated white ape known for its immense strength and vicious temperament he was only a level one fighter completely outmatched by the Beast yet a flicker of Hope ignited as memories from his past life surfaced he had faced white Apes before and knew some of their weaknesses he ordered Everyone to sit tight saying it was over and that

it had noticed them his voice tense as he stomped on the gas desperate to flee but fate wasn't on their side the truck veered sharply and crashed into an electric pole the impact jolting everyone inside the giant white ape leaped onto the truck with a thunderous crash its weight nearly toppling the vehicle Liang and the others were thrown around inside the cabin barely Holding On Through the shattered window the Ape's piercing red eyes locked onto Jong who fought to regain control of the truck despite his best efforts the ape clung to the vehicle with Relentless

tenacity its enormous hands gripping the metal quickly realizing the situation was beyond his control controll he made a split-second decision Mo Take the Wheel He barked unbuckling his seat belt as Mo slid into the driver's seat he swung the door open and launched himself at the ape slashing wildly with his Weapon but his attacks barely scratched the creature's thick hide the ape's tail snapped out wrapping around him like a vice before flinging him to the ground with bone crushing Force pain exploded through his body as he hit the pavement his vision swimming Mo brought the

truck to a screeching halt shouting his name but he was too Daz to respond the white ape dismounted from the truck its massive frame casting a shadow over him as it loomed above him the ape roared Its Furious cry echoing through the streets its eyes glowing with murderous intent with a snarl it raised its fist poised to deliver a devastating blow the white ape crashed to the ground shaking the surface and asserting dominance its next Target was him but a barrage of bullets shot past at a critical moment it was Mo but instead of deterring

the Beast her intervention only fueled its rage the white ape charged at Mo with a furious Roar sending puuh and leang into A panic Mo fired relentlessly but her shots seemed ineffective against the massive creature the ap's rage intensified and it swung a mighty punch at Mo who narrowly dodged enraged further the ape began to circle the truck and mo seized the opportunity to aim at its face the white ape howled in Fury grabbing Mo and tossing her through the air the ape's fury didn't end there it seized the truck with its colossal hands flipping

it over and sending Pooh And leang tumbling out out with a Savage swipe the ape clawed at Pooh's back its intent clear leang paralyzed with fear could do nothing to help as the situation peaked Jong and his dog appeared with a fierce howl they charged at the white ape momentarily distracting it the massive and unwieldy ape struggled against yellow pills Relentless bites he took full advantage of the distraction as Mo shouted his name she tossed him a gun with renewed Determination he gripped the gun tightly his eyes focused as he used his crafting skills to

enhance it penetration increased by 20 stability increased by 20 he noted with satisfaction his modifications had given the weapon a significant boost in the midst of his efforts the giant white ape grew agitated as it grappled with his dog with a powerful throw the ape sent the dog flying its jaws clamping down on it infuriated the ape swung a massive fist Toward the dog making him fly into the air and then prepare to deliver a decisive blow he quick on his feet shouted to the Beast hey ugly white furry monster your weak is here he

aimed carefully at the ape's vulnerable point and fired the bullet struck precisely leaving the Beast no time to react the white ape roared in pain its massive from crashing to the ground the shot had been so effective that the ape's mutated enhanced muscles revealed the exposed Bones of its back his strategic shot had hit the spine the creature's critical weakness the white ape's death was Swift a testament to the effectiveness of his enhanced ammunition he marveled at the enhancements importance without it even his knowledge of the ape's weakness might not have been enough to secure

the kill as the fight concluded he felt a surge of Triumph his 10 years of experience had proven invaluable and his crafting skills had made the difference In this grueling battle as leang worked on disinfecting Pooh's wound though puuh managed to endure the sting of the alcohol leang asked her to hold on just a bit longer he concerned flung open the truck door and was met with an awkward sight puuh almost wholly undressed was receiving first aid from leang the scene was both urgent and uncomfortable making them all feel uneasy Mo noticing the situation inquired

about Pooh's condition he reassured her that she was Fine and there were no major life-threatening injuries it was just a scratch that required some medicinal care after handling Pooh's situation he turned his attention to his dog who had sustained significant injuries fortunately the wounds weren't critical but they were enough to impair the dog's mobility and Effectiveness he knew he needed to find medicine quickly to Aid in the dog's recovery he resolved to search for something that could speed up The healing process and get his loyal companion back to full strength leang noted that Pooh's wound

was bleeding continuously and required significant anesthetics and medical tools to address it correctly he responded that he could use his Artisan skills to create stitching tools but acquiring anesthesia would be more challenging he recalled a past experience where he had stitched wounds without anesthesia and realized that Pooh would likely struggle with Such a painful procedure determined to address both pews and his dog's injuries he planned to search for medical supplies and surgical resources sources in a nearby area that had a private hospital leang then inquired about the supermarket and her friend Shin he assured her

that Shin was competent and could protect herself emphasizing that she was destined to become a NSTAR veteran which meant she would likely be safe however Mo disagreed with his plan She proposed splitting into two groups he would take Pooh to find the necessary medicine while she would head to the supermarket to locate Shin he quickly rejected the idea citing concerns about potential mutated beasts on the road he questioned whether it was wise to take such risks preferring to focus on the immediate medical needs and the safety of everyone involved Mo responded firmly insisting that he

should not underestimate her abilities as a guard She reminded him of her track record and asked if he had doubts about her capabilities he was momentarily at a loss for words but eventually gave in advising her to proceed cautiously he explained that the noise from the wheel could potentially attract zombies as their presence might cause them to unconsciously move towards the source of the sound he advised her to remain Vigilant as he waved goodbye he reflected on past experiences where Teammates had betrayed him hoping for a different outcome this time though his optimism was tempered

at the same time La wo and beon were speeding down the road on their bikes he growing increasingly impatient with their progress remarked that the stronger the wind the better he felt when beon asked about their destination he explained that based on their careful calculations and Analysis they could be confident that Jong would be searching for Something specific this this meant that Jong was likely to head towards the most probable location Lau assured beon with renewed confidence that he knew exactly where they needed to go despite Beyond's repeated questions about their destination he remained steadfast

he explained that they had lost valuable resources which would soon be depleted so their next logical stop would be the supermarket searching for new supplies supermarkets he noted typically held a Wide array of resources essential for survival and travel as they continued their conversation they arrived at the areas largest Supermarket uu Supermarket La Wu approached it with determination upon reaching the entrance beon cautioned him be careful it looks like there might be Undead inside who knew a shopping trip would come with a free side of Undead Terror next time I'll stick to online shopping he

dismissed the warning with a wave after all he had Just obtained a new job and had spent half the day searching when they entered they found the supermarket had been looted to his dismay while they were inspecting the store a packet of flower tumbled from its hiding place looking up they were startled to see an undead creature looming before them its terrifying appearance caused Lau to pause though it appeared to be searching for something rather than attacking they cautiously followed the undead hearing Unsettling noises as they moved soon they discovered a group of Undead gathered

around something while the subordinate was visibly frightened La wo's excitement grew meanwhile Mo navigated the city streets with the confidence of a seasoned officer familiar with the layout out she approached a nearby supermarket checking its exterior before cautiously venturing inside after a thorough search she found the shelves bare the store had been Stripped clean Mo recalled his warning about the wheel attracting zombies but this location seemed unusually quiet with only one major Supermarket left in the area uua Supermarket she wondered what Jong was up to at the same time he and his team arrived at

the hospital racing Against Time Pooh was on the brink of collapse her wound bleeding profusely leang observing the severity of the blood loss urged him to hurry fearing that Pooh's life might be in Jeopardy if they didn't act quickly he focused on locating the Essential Medical Supplies hoping the medicine and injection rooms would have what they needed in his haste he narrowly avoided a giant tail that crashed down near him his eyes widened in shock as he faced a grotesque sight a colossal green tail attached to the skeletal remains of a mutated zombie Croc the

overwhelming presence of another powerful mutant made him question why he was encoun ing so Many formidable enemies today feeling a surge of desperation as he battled against these nightmarish threats he cautiously observed the massive tortoise alligator hybrid from a distance unlike yellow pill or the white ape this creature was in a league of its own far more potent than any mutated Beast he had encountered in his previous life it had taken him nearly a decade to realize that these monsters weren't native to Earth they had appeared long before the Apocalypse and were known as guardian

beasts these creatures were drawn to areas with unique resources or hidden rewards fiercely protecting them the tortoise alligator was a level two guardian beast a formidable opponent that he knew he couldn't handle with his current strength however he believed his skills might allow him to slip past the Beast and retrieve the necessary resources without wasting any time he sprinted back to the armored truck Seeing him return in such a hurry leang immediately asked if he had managed to find the medicine he didn't answer instead he went straight for the weapons rummaging through the supplies to

arm himself concerned leang asked why he was gearing up and whether a monster was inside the hospital he confirmed her suspicions admitting that a Powerful Beast was lurking within however he reassured her that he could handle it on his own he instructed her to stay with Pooh and continue caring for her wounds despite his calm demeanor leang couldn't shake off the confusion watching him load up on weapons and gear made her uneasy but she trusted his judgment he on the other hand knew that the situation was Dire the thought of facing a guard Beast with

his current abilities was daunting but he was determined to retrieve the remaining supplies they desperately needed he hoped his plan would work allowing him to navigate the Hospital's dangers and bring back what was necessary to save Pooh and secure their survival he planned to restrain the guardian beast knowing he would need every Advantage he could get he decided to use specially crafted arrows enhancing them with his craftsmanship skill which had proven invaluable in the past this skill allowed him to significantly strengthen weapons miraculously improving their pen penetration and control over the Materials used he explained

to himself that their Artisan skill while only at a beginner level could still enhance an items quality provided he had materials of equal quality and quantity the enhancement process effectively doubled the power of the arrows much like how it had previously Amplified the effectiveness of bullets against the white ape this skill wasn't just about changing the form of objects it fundamentally increased their quality And toughness almost as if he was wielding a form of magic after painstakingly working on the arrows and bow he strengthened them into weapons of the next level but he knew that

wasn't enough he also needed a large metal net to hold the beast in place in his past life he had witnessed people using a technique known as Mosaic Fusion a method that combined two completely different materials while preserving their individual strengths drawing on That memory he decided to fuse iron wire with a green net hoping the combination would be strong enough to deal with the tortoise alligator he carefully combined the materials applying his craftsmanship skill to strengthen the net making it as tough and resilient as possible with all his preparations complete he set out to

lay his trap he charged forward with determination pulling the bow string TT and launching the reinforced net toward the tortoise alligator the net Successfully entangled the Beast wrapping around its massive form the guardian beast let out a furious Roar thrashing about in an attempt to free itself his heart raced as he saw that the net had caught the creature's tail temporarily holding it back wasting no time he dashed into the medicine Warehouse eyes scanning the shelves filled with abundant supplies he felt a surge of relief with these materials Pooh's surgery would have a high chance

Of success however he knew better than to assume the fight was over the tortoise alligator was a formidable opponent and it wasn't long before it began to Break Free the beast's enormous strength rendered the metallic net and arrows ineffective snapping them with a mighty thud it roared once more its Fury undiminished and began to creep stealthily towards him intent on reclaiming its territory he quickly gathered as many medical supplies as Possible but the growing sense of danger was impossible to ignore he could hear the beasts heavy footsteps approaching and knew he had to move fast

the tortoise alligator was closing in and he realized he was running out of time his mind raced thinking of his next move as he secured the last supplies fifth brother having ruthlessly wiped out every last Undead in the supermarket surveyed the now eerily silent area with a sense of grim satisfaction the once Bustling aisles were now empty save for the scattered remnants of his latest battle as his gaze fell Upon A gleaming brand new wheel sitting in the corner he felt a spark of renewed hope without wasting a moment he ordered beon to collect the

crystals from the Fallen corpses the task was executed with quick efficiency and soon Bean returned with a pile of crystals however upon inspecting the wheel fifth Brothers frustration mounted the wheel required 10 crystals To operate but beon had only managed to gather nine the missing Crystal was a glaring in infuriating oversight the idea of having to wait for another undead to appear just to complete the set was almost unbearable seeing the storm brewing in his leader eyes Bean nervously suggested that the wheel might attract more Undead if they gave it some time they only needed

one more Crystal he said trying to Plate fifth brother with the hope of additional Undead but This attempt at reassurance only ignited fifth brother's rage his patient snapped and with a roar of Fury he struck beon across the face the force of the blow sent Beyond stumbling and fifth brother's eyes blazed with disdain he spat out his anger denouncing beon as utterly useless merely a worthless piece of trash who couldn't even be relied upon for something as simple as Gathering crystals meanwhile Mo approached the supermarket her instincts On high alert the silence that greeted her

was unnerving the usual sounds of groaning Undead were conspicuously absent leaving an unsettling calm in their place as she carefully stepped inside she couldn't shake the feeling that something was terrible a miss the silence felt like a heavy oppressive blanket and she wondered if all the zombies had been wiped out or if something even more Sinister was Unfolding on the other side leang heard the Roar of the tortoise alligator echoing ominously from outside as it relentlessly pounded on the door of The Medicine Room unable to stand by and do nothing she bolted towards the hospital

her heart pounding in her chest her voice carrying an urgent plea as she called out for him praying fervently that he was unharmed when she arrived the sight before her sent a chill down her spine the tortoise alligator was Furiously battering the tightly locked door fear gripped her as she questioned what monstrous creature this could be inside the room he was painfully aware of his dire situation he knew all too well the strength of a level two guardian beast recognizing that such formidable foes were not easily overcome the Beast had already entered a berserk State

and he realized with grim resignation that he was likely trapped in the room for some time with the Genuine possibility of facing a brutal defeat outside Leon quickly deduced that he had no means of Escape determined to help she resolved to divert the monster's attention her eyes then fell upon three enormous eggs nearby and a plan began to form in her mind meanwhile from his corner he caught sight of leang his heart sinking with fear and frustration how had this silly girl ended up in such a perilous situation only adding to his burdens the tortoise

Alligator Relentless in its assault finally succeeded in breaking down the door its massive head lunged forward aiming directly for his face and the room echoed with the sounds of impending danger despite her fear Leon quickly honed in on the tortoise alligator's eggs with determination overtaking her dread she sprinted toward them her voice Rising frantically to draw the creature's attention standing her ground in front of the menacing Beast she Braced herself as it roared and charged toward her with terrifying Force desperate to protect her Jong with no clear plan in mind rushed forward his voice cracking

as he shouted for leang to run but instead of fleeing leang made a bold move she shoved one of the eggs off its perch his heart plummeted as he realized the grave danger she had just put herself in he screamed at her to get out of there as the alligator's Focus instantly shifted to The Rolling egg in A heartbeat the creature abandoned its Chase of her redirecting its attention to save its precious Offspring from smashing against the wall seizing the brief window of opportunity she attempted to escape but stumbled over a rock nearly falling Jong

was at her side instantly grabbing her hand tightly and together they fled the scene as they ran their frantic footsteps echoed in the air she glanced back and noticed that the tortoise alligator had stopped its Chase its attention fully consumed by the safety of its eggs breathless but on high alert he explained that the creature wouldn't stray far from its Offspring knowing its instincts would keep it close to the nest he thought they might finally be clear but an uneasy feeling lingered in his chest despite their narrow escape the threat still loomed and he couldn't

shake off the worry gnawing at him anger and concern boiled over as he harshly Grabbed Le by the arms demanding to know if she had a death wish he reminded her of the Peril she had just narrowly avoided leang winced and told him he was hurting her but he didn't relent insisting that the pain was nothing compared to the risk she had taken she defended her actions saying she had acted impatiently wanting to save him still frustrated he told her she didn't need to worry about him that he didn't need her to save him tears

welled up in Leong's eyes though he remained Stern a silent gratitude flickered within him for her courage meanwhile back at H Supermarket Mo sifted through the remnants of the chaos and soon discovered the wheel however her attention quickly shifted to the unsettling sight of numerous zombie corpses scattered around the sheer number of them raised questions in her mind but she didn't have long to ponder the mystery her thoughts were Interrupted when fifth brother emerged from the Shadows a smug smile tugged at his lips as he entered the scene noting that the wheel didn't have to

wait for the undead instead it had lured in this younger woman to his amusement she was a police officer but Mo's resolve only hardened at his words unfazed by his smug demeanor she stealed herself for the inevitable confrontation her eyes narrowing with cold determination she had no intention of letting these men Enjoy what they believed to be a stroke of luck and get readily prepared for battle on the other side Jong was meticulously tending to teach her Pooh's wounds his hands moved with practiced precision as he stitched her up each careful motion designed to ensure

her recovery as he worked he reassured her that once the anesthetic wore off she would likely feel some pain though the discomfort would gradually fade Pooh's face flushed a shade of red at the Thought and she asked with a hint of worry whether the injury would leave a scar Jong chuckled softly telling her that keeping her life intact was the real blessing with the stitches completed he suggested she take some time to rest and recover as Jong Was preparing to leave leang approached her concern for Pooh evident however the silence was abruptly broken by the

loud rumbling of leunk stomach the sound was both surprising and embarrassing with a Sheepish grin Jong suggested they take a break to grab a bite to eat before meeting up with Mo the idea of a shared meal seemed to lift their Spirits slightly a welcome distraction from the tense atmosphere meanwhile Mo was embroiled in a fierce battle with Lao despite her Relentless barrage of powerful kicks and punches Lau remained eerily unaffected his expression was a disturbing mix of admiration and amusement as though he were both Impressed and entertained by the confrontation each of Mo's strikes

was met with his own Swift counterattacks his movements blindingly fast Mo's frustration mounted with each passing moment she could see that La wo wasn't just a formidable opponent he seemed almost Invincible every punch and kick landed with full force yet he took them with a casual ease that suggested he might be more than just exceptionally skilled his resilience and speed hinted At possible mutations or enhancements despite her growing doubts he continued to taunt her urging her to give her all in the fight with a determined scowl MO accepted his challenge she launched into a series

of Rapid high-powered strikes each one aimed with deadly Precision her fist connected solidly with LA wo's face a punch that would have knocked most Fighters out cold yet he blocked it with a nonchalant ease his defenses as impenetrable as ever his smirk widened Clearly enjoying the challenge Mo's frustration only fueled her resolve as she pressed on determined to find a way to break through his seemingly Invincible guard after several more intense rounds of combat beon nervously cowering and avoiding the fight saw a glimmer of opportunity he realized that if he could assist his boss in

defeating Mo he might gain favor and secure an item from the wheel elevating himself to hero status in this Grim apocalyptic World summoning all the courage he could muster and shedding his fear he decided to seize the chance to launch a sneak attack on Mo without warning Mo was struck from both sides as the subordinate launched his surprise assault the suddenness of the combined attack overwhelmed her sending her crashing violently into a wall she crumpled to the ground dazed and disoriented the shock of the second attacker had wholly caught her off guard Adding to her

mounting frustration furious at the intrusion La wo spun around his face contorted with rage who permitted you to interfere he demanded his voice sething with irritation he scornfully questioned whether the subordinate truly believed he needed help to defeat a mere woman as he raged about the powerful effects of the medicine he had consumed he boasted with cold confidence claiming he could easily take down 10 police if he chose To with a fierce grin he turned back to Mo his eyes gleaming with cruel intent he landed a brutal punch to her face the impact echoing through

the room grabbing her by the collar he prepared to deliver a final devastating blow the fight had escalated to a perilous Climax and mo now faced her formidable adversary's full unrestrained wrath as he prepared to end the fight Jong emerged from the Shadows catching him off guard he swiftly forced him to release Mo Stepping in to face the real challenge he found himself suddenly confronted by an actual opponent the two stood face to face each other's worst nightmare La wo spat venomous words recognizing the figure before him he was just about to come find Jong

and here he was delivering himself right to his doorstep but utterly dismissing his presence he turned away to check on mo mo reassured him that she was all right though the brutal beating she'd endured left her Clearly shaken he knew he had to avenge her seeing Mo so severely injured Lau briefly entertained the thought that he might be the villain in this scenario but in his eyes it was Jong who was the real villain the one who had stolen his resources he was about to speak when Jong Suddenly lunged at him cold Fury in his

voice he didn't care who this man was no one touched his people in intense moment La Wu swiftly duck to avoid a brutal punch aimed at him reacting with Quick reflexes he countered with a punch of his own although Jong blocked the strike he was taken aback by the surprising strength behind it the realization hit him hard this opponent must have consumed the same potion also elevating him to a one-star Warrior despite this newfound power lau's attacks were too predictable allowing Jong to easily evade them seizing an opening Jong delivered a powerful kick to lau's

rib cage forcing Him to stagger backward in pain his rage intensifying he taunted his opponent challenging him and questioning whether he truly believed a potion made him stronger he dared him to continue so he could show him just how outmatched he was blinded by Fury La Wu lost all sense of strategy and began attacking recklessly Jung exploited his opponent's lack of composure delivering another precise punch to the same side of his rib cage the blow shattered lau's kidney Sending waves of excruciating pain through his body driven mad by pain and frustration lau's attacks became increasingly

erratic but Jong dodged each one effortlessly despite their equal status as one-star warriors with comparable strength and reaction speed his decade of experience surviving in the apocalypse gave him a decisive Ed Edge his next punch landed squarely on lau's face so quickly that he couldn't react the force of the hit sent him Flying through the air before crashing violently to the ground dazed and desperate Lau struggled to understand who Jong was suspecting he might be an exceptional elite soldier or a highly skilled assassin in a final frantic attempt to save himself he begged for mercy

offering to become his slave and do anything he wished as he pleaded his eyes darted nervously secretly he grasped a hidden dagger preparing to strike if J turned his attention away to Check on Mo in a split second he lunged with the dagger but Jong was ready he grabbed the attacking arm and with a swift motion broke it La Wu screamed in agony and Jong followed up with a powerful kick to his chest sending him flying once more calmly Jong told him that he had encountered plenty of people like him before and appreciated the attempt

at a covert attack but it would only work against someone who wasn't Jong in his pathetic state he cried out For help from Beyond despite his fear the subordinate quickly rushed over and picked him up up and together they fled the supermarket as they disappeared from view Mo turned to Jong questioning why he let them go so quickly he with a calm resolve replied that those two would soon meet their end they don't need me to dirty my hands he added knowing their fate was already sealed as they watched their adversaries walk away Jong turned

his attention back to Mo his concern Evident he asked her how she was feeling after their intense encounter Mo reassured him that with some rest her injury would heal jong's response was a mixture of relief and a bit of humor noting that she was fortunate her bones weren't broken Mo with a Sly smirk teased back that the rib cage of a police officer was built to withstand more than just a few punches the shared light-hearted moment helped to ease the tension between them with the mood Lightened Jong gestured towards the direction of the wheel Shin

had mentioned earlier this shift in Focus signaled a potential turn in their Journey hinting at a brighter Prospect ahead meanwhile La Wu and beon walked side by side their conversation seemingly friendly as they tried to find comfort in their shared predicament La Wu muttered curses under his breath about Jong expressing his frustration over how he had been Left crippled he lamented over missed opportunities wishing he had taken the chance to kill Jong when he had it despite the physical pain and bitterness Lau was Resolute in his determination to rest recover and eventually return to exact

his revenge suddenly beon came to a halt and shifted the tone of their conversation he spoke more earnestly addressing ing La Wu with a serious demeanor beon confessed that he needed to understand what it meant to truly Share both enjoyment and suffering he revealed that despite having followed La Wu through countless dangers since the Jong River he had never experienced genuine satisfaction or pleasure under his leadership this unexpected Revelation took La wo by surprise making him pause to consider Beyond's words the subordinate continued questioning why only La wo got to eat meat while the rest

of them struggled just to have soup he pointed out that someone like him who Had been loyal for so long shouldn't be treated as an underling for Life realizing his mistake Lau tried to Plate him addressing him as big brother and urging him not to do anything rash fearing the situation was about to turn against him but the subordinate had already made up his mind he grabbed La Wu's broken arm and twisted it cruy taunting him with the reality of his situation he demanded that La wo hand over all the crystals promising to help Keep

them safe while suggesting that he stay behind to recover though both knew there was no safe place left standing on a narrow Street they were suddenly surrounded by zombies Lau now desperate begged beond to save him even offering all the crystals in exchange for his life but the subordinate coldly refused telling him there was no way he could escape with the crystals in a heartless movie The subordinate abandoned La wo leaving him to be devoured by the Approaching zombies La wo could do nothing but scream in Terror as the monsters descended upon Him ending his

life brutally and tragically the cries of la woo echoed through the night catching y's attention fear gripped her as she wondered if Jong and the others were in trouble but to her relief Jong soon appeared carrying an injured Mo in his arms he reassured leang explaining that Mo was hurt but they needed to find a safe place to stay for the night first Leang mentioned hearing the cries earlier and realized they must have come from the two people who fled the supermarket she regretted not having run them down with the vehicle knowing how evil they

were now later that night they found a secure spot to rest Jong and leang stayed awake to keep watch while the other girls slept leang asked if they should hide the wheel to prevent others from using it Jong explained that the wheels position could be moved but Once the news about it spread it would undoubtedly cause a fierce battle however they had already spent and taken most of the rewards including enhancement medicines immune boosters a beginner's rank enhanced metal Spirit necklace and a silver Shield he felt grateful for the workers who had helped him gather

the resources allowing him to quickly obtain these items leang placed the necklace around her neck admiring how pretty it looked seeing her Admiration Jong jokingly reminded her that the necklace wasn't just a decoration but an essential tool leang slightly embarrassed retorted that it was useless to have accessories to impress zombies though deep down she still found the necklace appealing Jong sighed reflecting on the fleeting nature of their situation he realized the importance of unity and acting together to survive he admitted to leang that he wasn't entirely altruistic in saving Them he wanted them to become

his allies he needed them to trust him and prove their own capabilities knowing that only then could they grasp the power that would secure their future Mo and leang Stood Beside Jong bewildered by what he had just revealed he took a deep breath and began to explain stressing the significance of what he was showing them he held up the fortification medicines and one of the rewards spun from the wheel these medicines he said were Designed to enhance a person's physical capabilities they could boost muscular strength increase speed and even improve the body's metabolism and Immunity

Mo quickly grasped the implications and asked if these enhancements were akin to superpowers Jung shook his head clarifying that it wasn't quite as dramatic as that the medicine they had was more about essential fortification capable of improving bodily functions by 20 30% this enhancement would make it Significantly easier to handle ordinary Undead threats still feeling uncertain leang muttered that even a 20% increase might not be sufficient for her given her current physical state Jong offered reassurance explaining that the medicine's value lay in its ability to push Beyond one's limits and add that extra 20% he

encouraged leang not to underestimate her own potential and to recognize the Boost the medicine could provide Mo still skeptical asked if this Was the reason behind his impressive strength Jong confirmed that without the medicine he wouldn't have been able to match her despite this Mo remained unconvinced she pointed out that Jong seemed to have a profound understanding of the apocalypse and possessed skills Beyond typical police duties leading her to question his true identity leang agreed noting that Jong had always seemed out of place as if he had seamlessly adapted to the world of the Undead

from the moment they met him Mo pressed further demanding to know if Jong had any insight into the cause of the Apocalypse feeling the pressure and sensing his true nature might be exposed Jong quickly shifted the conversation he told them that all his information came from Shin suggesting that they should ask her directly if they wanted answers this deely avoided any direct Revelations about his past as he couldn't reveal that he had been reborn To his surprise leang willingly accepted the explanation commenting that Shin must be pretty special Jung was taken aback by how easily

they accepted his diversion realizing that his attempt to deflect had been more successful than anticipated leang then asked if the medicine was as powerful as Jong claimed and whether there were any side effects Jong acknowledged that there were indeed risks he explained that carelessness could result in severe consequences such As deadly bleeding from all seven orifices he reminded them that benefits and dangers often went hand inand he didn't pressure them to decide leaving it entirely up to them Leong was taken aback by the potions potential dangers her face reflecting her shock and concern Mo displaying

her usual bravery and determination stood resolutely and asked to try it Jong handed her the medicine commending her courage but cautioning her that the pain of Evolution could be excruciating for most people he advised her to prepare herself and consider taking it the next day to ensure she was ready seeing Mo's resolve leang finally found her own determination she realized she couldn't continue to burden the team and felt a heavy weight lift from her Shoulders by making a proactive Choice despite the risks she asked Jong for the medicine as well Jong agreed but emphasized that

both of them should wait until the next Day to take it giving them time to prepare adequately for the ordeal ahead he advised leang to be more practical about her attire pointing out that dressing so fancy wasn't ideal for Action her eyes widened in surprise at his bluntness meanwhile teacher Pooh who was trying to settle down for the night behind them seemed a bit envious she stirred and told them to keep the noise down as she needed to sleep Jong however had no intention of resting he remained Vigilant knowing there was important business to attend

to the next day he stood guard outside with his dog maintaining a watchful eye in the dead of night a figure suddenly emerged from the darkness startled Jong shouted out loudly grabbing his army knife and charging towards the Intruder to his surprise it was leang confused Jong demanded to know why she was out side and not sleeping leang explained that she was feeling scared Jong assumed she Was having second thoughts about taking the medicine and asked if she regretted her decision to his shock leang wrapped her arms around him tightly revealing that it wasn't regret

but fear that drove her the thought of possibly dying after taking the medicine the next day and never having the chance to see him again was what had kept her awake her fear was palpable and Jong though taken aback felt sympathy for her sensing liang's genuine fear Jong spoke Earnestly he explained that obtaining power wasn't always a matter of luck and having solid abilities meant he wouldn't let her go quickly he told her he would ask her to join him in fighting for his goals he then asked if she would still be willing to stand

by him if given the chance leang touched by his sincerity responded gently she admitted that she understood and appreciated his offer she knew he had saved her life if given a chance she would always support him her Fear seemed to dissipate leaving her Resolute Jong felt a swell of Pride at her response and then asked Mo if she would support leang Mo with her usual straightforwardness inquired about his following plans Jong explained that baring unforeseen circumstances he intended to return to the hospital he had visited and head south through the City MO declined to join

him stating that she had other matters to attend to Jong felt her absence would blow his Team's strength but accepted her decision he reassured Mo that his promise to give her strength still stood inspired by his commitment Mo assured him not to worry she promised she would return quickly once her tasks were completed and if all went smoothly she would head to Pearl Lake she also handed him a set of bullets she thought might be helpful noting their importance Jong acknowledged their value and said that he would have asked for them if she had Not

offered them as morning broke everyone gathered outside ready to begin the day with the fortification medicine the three of them had swallowed the medicine just a few minutes earlier almost immediately they were hit by its effects feeling worse than ever and unable to speak though their bodies began to show signs of the the potion's impact Jong reassured them that their condition would improve soon and once their strength was restored they would Be ready to hunt zombies he cautioned them to avoid provoking too many zombies and to be especially careful around Crystal or mutated zombies advising

them to escape if they encountered any Jong then prepared to head to the hospital for his planned important business as he approached the hospital memories from his past life resurfaced he recalled a story about this place it was once the site where people had discovered three powerful Guardians beasts these Creatures had wre Havoc killing many nearby survivors due to their immense strength eventually a level six superhuman Soldier intervened defeating the beasts and acquiring a map and an egg that one of the monsters had laid the map was reputedly used for crafting blade type weapons and

soon after many members of that superhuman Army were seen wielding superb silver-colored battle swords this time Jang was determined to claim the map and the Egg Jong cleared the undead area to ensure he wouldn't be interrupted while he pursued his Target with the area secure he began his final preparations reflecting on his previous encounter with the tortoise alligator he remembered how unprepared he had been and how his arrows had lacked the necessary power although his pistol had more Firepower than a bow it wasn't enough for the task determined to enhance its Effectiveness Jong used the

Sharp claws he had obtained from a lizard he transformed standard ammunition into armor-piercing rounds by applying embed magic to both the bullets and Claws significantly boosting their penetration and lethality he instructed yellow pill to stay behind and watch alerting him if any Undead approached with everything set Jong took a deep breath and leaped forward heading straight for the guardian beast with his newly fortified Weaponry the tortoise Alligator was lazily resting when it suddenly sensed a human presence recognizing jong's familiar form the Beast tensed and prepared to Strike It lunged Forward but Jong had anticipated this

move and had set up a strategic trap the creature's Fury ignited when it spotted a red cloth a decoy had placed he seized the distraction swiftly taking a shot the bullet drove through the beast's tough hide penetrating its formidable skeleton Furious the tortoise Alligator retaliated with a massive tornado claw strike Jong however was quick on his feet and dodged with Precision standing his ground he brandished his nepo army knife and targeted the creature's tail the strike jolted the Beast lifting him toward its face Jong capitalized on the moment leaping and driving his knife into the

creature's upper jaw with the knife lodged f fir ly in its mouth jong's gaze locked onto the exposed throat of the Monster he took a deep breath and with unwavering resolve muttered this ends now before tightening his finger on the trigger of his pistol a final decisive shot rang out sealing the creature's fate Jong then began to search the surrounding area quickly locating the prize he had sought a coveted map the map detailed three distinct ranks the frontier rank the dancing sand and the rare Moonlight Battlefield marked marked with a purple tier this map came

with Both a passive and an active skill promising valuable enhancements for their Journey Jung remembered that offensive skills were prohibitively expensive for the first 5 years when he first started the apocalypse even though their price had decreased over time they remained among the most costly items weapons and equipment with skills were impressive but the Moonlight Battlefield sword with its dual skills was scarce and valuable nearing historical rank in Price however the map required nearly impossible materials about 1,000 rank Five magic crystals with his current resources Jong knew he had little hope of crafting it soon

despite the challenges Jong refused to give up on the sword he was determined to find a way to craft the frontier Moon skill recognizing that the dancing sand and Moonlight Battlefield ranks could be acquired with enough money with a Resolute thought he reminded himself of His unique position as a reborn and dismissed any fear of obstacles turning his attention to a new discovery Jong found a valuable item called small Evolution medicine among the remains of the tortoise alligator he explained that while this medicine could significantly enhance human physicality he was curious about its effects on

pets would it enable them to evolve as well he called his dog lazily lounging nearby urging it to come over quickly Jong was eager to Test the evolution medicine on his pet hoping it would boost its strength his determination to leverage every Advantage available was unwavering and he was Keen to see if this medicine could significantly enhance his loyal companion yellow pill quickly bounded over over eager to try the new medicine Jong and his dog shared the homemade pot and soon Jong felt his strength and spirit recovering rapidly even more so than with level one

superhuman medicine He instructed yellow pill to raise its head and pay attention as it consumed the tortoise alligator's egg and its meat a golden Crystal emerged on the dog's head indicating the activation of a new ability Jong asked yellow pill to demonstrate its newly acquired skills the dog leaped up and its fur instantly transformed into sharp blades shooting in targeted directions and edding fur blades into the opposite wall Jung was amazed to discover that the dog's innate Ability was a fur attack known as secret needle barrage however he soon noticed that yellow pills fur had

disappeared leaving the dog looking different Jong consoled the dog acknowledging that despite its changed appearance its skill power remained impressive he then instructed yellow pill to finish the rest of the food and save the other two for later with that task done Jong moved to a nearby car to continue crafting weapons he needed to make the most of His time he began working on the frontier Moon weapon using Neo's army knife the tortoise alligator's Claws and teeth and a level two magic Crystal after activating his Artisan skill the car was transformed into an extraordinarily sharp

blade Jong tested the blade with a light swing slicing through a nearby metal pillar easily after successfully crafting weapons Jong created additional weapons for his groupmates he focused on strengthening Their combat abilities to ensure they were well prepared for future challenges after a while Jong returned to liang's location with the remaining essence of the tortoise alligator egg and meat he asked if Mo had already left and inquired about their health and any changes in their strength leang replied that they still had the cores and that dealing with that monster hadn't been difficult she noted that

they could easily handle zombies now that they had Evolved with a hint of irony leang added that she didn't understand why puuh was so scared of them leang was slightly annoyed by jong's comment pointing out that they had all experienced discomfort and nausea she explained that it was was just a matter of getting used to it acknowledging that the first time was always the hardest despite her attempts to downplay it Jong felt a deep satisfaction it seemed that his final investment had finally paid off he Handed over the egg Essence and watched as they reacted

with surprise asking him about the food that could make them stronger in his mind Jong thought about the future once they had endured the effects of this strengthening fluid he planned to head to Pearl Lake he was determined to obtain whatever was there knowing it would be crucial for his next steps although Jong had given them the essence from the first egg both leang and puuh being mils ended up consuming The second egg as well this left Jong with only one tortoise alligator egg which he needed to preserve carefully for future use as he observed

yellow pill Pooh remarked on the dog's drastic appearance change noting how it had become quite unattractive she compared it to how some girls might worry about gaining weight after eating a lot but she acknowledged that the transformation had significantly enhanced yellow pills physique Jong then called leang over Intended ing to give her an advanced whip he said he wanted her to try it out and see if it suited her leang eagerly accepted the Whip and tested it immediately as she wielded it flurries of blue light flashed intermittently and the ground cracked beneath its Force leang

felt a surge of excitement realizing that the whip felt like it was made just for her the weapon seemed to merge seamlessly with her movements and she felt a strong connection with it she Mentioned that she had previously studied some sports and now felt confident that this whip would be a valuable asset in assisting Jong turning his attention to puuh Jong asked what kind of weapon she wanted feeling tense puuh responded that she also wanted a gun but hadn't yet decided on the type Jong advised her not to rush the decision noting that it was

normal for someone who had only used a kitchen knife in peaceful times to be unsure About selecting a new weapon Leong suddenly reminded Jang that it was time to head to Pearl Lake Jong acknowledged the reminder but explained that their previous preparations were for the upcoming operation he warned that the journey might be fraught with danger including encounters with powerful mutants large numbers of Undead and possibly even hostile humans he asked if the girls were sure they wanted to join him leang excited to assist was eager to Go but Pooh remained uncertain about her usefulness

on this Mission she left the decision up to Jong Jong dismissed her concerns stating that they would proceed together he had previously mentioned the potential dangers but had not yet revealed the possible rewards of their success with that settled they began their Journey as they traveled in the car his thoughts drifted back to 10 years ago to his past life after consuming all the food and drinks at Home he had finally mustered the courage to venture outside the silence was eerie but the monster Roars soon began to Echo from all directions even from the rooftops

as creatures leaped down towards him in a panic he saw the streets filled with Undead and screamed loudly before running frantically surprisingly the undead did not attack him but instead moved towards the source of the emerging bright light and sound deciding to return home he waited at the Door watching as the city descended into chaos and exploded only through survivors accounts did he gradually learn what had transpired that day at Pearl Lake Jong and his group encountered a peculiar wheel floating in the water unlike traditional Wheels this one displayed only a single image a gold

ingot all that was required was a level one magic Crystal to activate it once engaged the wheel operated like a dungeon system providing Mission hints And previews of potential rewards these rewards included various Evolution medicines mystical weapons profession Scrolls and unique concoction methods essentially everything one could hope for the outcome of the battles held here in the past remained shrouded in mystery those who participated either perished or vanished though some survivors had become incredibly powerful over time his group finally arrived at the location stepping out of the car with Anticipation they were on the brink

of accessing numerous powerful items which could potentially make them the most formidable forces in the city 10 hours earlier in the lobby of a logistics company in Hong haai the CEO Lee found himself surrounded by soldiers dressed in camouflage uniforms their Grim gun barrels aimed directly at him Captain y inquired if Lee had taken enough time to consider their proposition Lee puzzled by the situation questioned what Captain Ya meant asking if it implied that should he refuse to comply today he and his comrades would have to bid fairwell to this world Lee silently analyzed his

circumstances he had three level one Fighters by his side 11 guns at his disposal so why was he forced to face these military personnel at such a critical moment he pondered whether more time could have changed his situation and noted that the young Soldier standing beside Captain ya already Seemed to be a level two evolver Captain ya responded to Lee's question stating that if they did not join the military's operation they would not allow any unforeseen factors to jeopardize their plan at that moment one of Le's subordinates evidently concerned asked if they were genuinely prepared

to engage in combat with the soldiers but Lee quickly silenced him Captain ya then proceeded to outline the terms assuring them that no effort would be wasted Pointlessly he emphasized that obedience would be rewarded and that even if Lee did not trust him personally he should at least Place some faith in the military uniform Captain ya War Wong ding who stood behind Captain ya interjected suggesting that after this Mission CEO Lee might even attain a level of power comparable to his own he questioned why Lee would be willing to Forfeit such an opportunity although Lee

was reluctant he had to acknowledge the Military's overwhelming strength their Advanced weaponry and their self-sufficiency ultimately Lee made the difficult decision to cooperate with them despite this Captain yed did not extend his hand to seal the agreement with Lee however wding did expressing hope that they could progress even further together in the future Lee then asked Captain ya if he could finally reveal the details of the operation they were discussing Captain Y in a measured Tone explained that they had received intelligence about a very special monster expected to appear at Pearl Lake he mentioned that

everyone was eager to compete for it and he had strategically arranged an underground Outpost nearby to guard something referred to as the wheel as Captain y spoke chin xao bian informed him that time was running short Captain y's Voice crackled through the radio assuring chin that he would arrive shortly and instructing him to keep a Close watch over the wheel meanwhile a pair of binoculars remained fixed on everything occurring near the wheel scrutinizing the surroundings with meticulous care Jong sitting at top the truck noted that the group was almost fully assembled he then jumped down

asking if everyone was ready for the operation he instructed leang to take the radio and find a hiding spot once the operation began leang was to report immediately if she spotted a monster About 1 M tall carrying a gold bag meanwhile Pooh was assigned to observe the area and provide real-time updates on the combat situation paying particular attention to the movements of the small monster Jong himself planned to set up an ambush near the bank and he emphasized to pooh that she must report to him immediately if the little monster movements were detected so he

could Converge on the location she indicated Jong reassured Pooh that her position Would be relatively safe and if she encountered a situation Beyond her control she should Retreat he added that if the opportunity presented itself she could find a high vantage point to report the battle situation and the little monster position to the team Pooh understanding the instructions pointed to a nearby building and asked if it would be a suitable spot Jong agreed telling her to wait for them there before concluding Jong reiterated the Importance of reporting immediately upon discovering the target he warned that

while the small monster lacked any special abilities it was extremely crafty and could summon a horde of mutated creatures making it crucial that no one attempted to act alone without any warning a massive light suddenly burst forth from the direction of Pearl Lake Jung immediately recognized that The Gather wheel had been activated signaling the official appearance of the Treasure monster according to the plan he urged his team to move quickly the treasure pot began to emit an intense powerful light so blinding that it temporarily robbed everyone of their sight as their Vision gradually returned chin

Xiao was the first to spot a small oneeyed monster standing at top the treasure pot eyeing the group with a keen interest the creature then reached for a greenish blue conch shell hanging at its waist and began to blow into it Producing an ancient Eerie sound that reverberated through the air this unsettling noise sent a chill down Xiao Chin's spine filling him with an overwhelming sense of for boing as anticipated the undead within the city who could hear the conus call went berserk rushing toward its source in a frenzied Mass meanwhile the soldiers maintained their

disciplined formations ready to move out at a moment's notice Captain y with binoculars in hand kept a Close watch on the situation unfolding around Pearl Lake though his expression betrayed his growing concern the staff officer standing beside him quickly reported the latest developments from our position as the origin Lee's team reached the designated spot at 2:00 who's team also arrived at their assigned location at 10:00 however shao's team positioned at 12:00 has completely disappeared from radar and we've lost all contact with them Additionally unknown forces have been detected at 9:00 and 4:00 their numbers ranging

from dozens to hundreds at the same time large swarms of mutated creatures have been spotted advancing toward our teams from multiple directions at high speed and our forces are now surrounded by a vast number of Undead Captain y smiled his expression a mix of determination and dark humor as he spoke they were at the center of the city after all and hadn't they been Surrounded by zombies from the very beginning there was no real surprise in their situation with renewed courage he addressed his men calling out to them with a commanding voice the soldiers gathered

around him their attention fixed on their squad leader ready to hear his words he reminded them that he could have led them into the Tomb of the Dead pointing out the countless mutants converging from all directions to surround them he acknowledged that many Of them were worried about their families feeling the weight of fear and hesitation in their hearts but then he asked the The crucial question why were they still there what had driven them to put on those uniforms in the first place Captain ya shared his own struggles telling them that he was just

like them coming from his own Hometown facing the same fears and uncertainties with a darker tone he spoke of his own family his parents his wife and his children he Admitted that he didn't even know if they were safe but he challenged them to consider whether these fears were reasons to give up to abandon the beliefs that had brought them to this point if they didn't Retreat now they might very well die in that place but Captain ya reminded them of what they were at their core soldiers Born to Fight This was war and they

had to become stronger stronger than the mutants stronger than the world that Sought to crush them even if they were to die they would die wearing their uniforms smashing that place to pieces and embracing the final glory of the world his powerful words ignited a surge of Courage within the soldiers united in purpose and resolve they began to chant with one voice declaring That Glory belonged to them Jong had a clear panoramic view of the rousing scene unfolding before him even in the bleakness of the late apocalypse Witnessing this unimaginable sense of collective honor among

the soldiers filled him with admiration at that moment he respected them deeply silently Jong wished them good luck though he remained uncertain about what was unfolding on the other side of the battlefield then without warning clang clang clang An Extremely Loud sound of electricity crackled from the riverbank tearing through the tension in the air air his gaze shot Upward he caught sight of what was happening the sudden opening of the dimensional gate left him stunned he knew immediately that the spatial black hole leading to the wastelands had opened the treasure monster conch was not just

a signal to summon Undead and mutated creatures from the surrounding area but also a beacon for powerful mutants from the wastelands as the electric sound intensified Jong watched in growing dread as two Crimson steel Beasts heads gradually took shape inside the swirling black hole these were no ordinary creatures they were level two monsters and their arrival spelled disaster no sooner had they emerged than their eyes locked onto a soldier in an instant they were upon him and he was killed instantly his life snuffed out in a brutal Flash the Crimson steel beasts eyes gleamed with

a twisted excitement their mouths releasing deep menacing growls of satisfaction the chaos Unfolding before Jong was overwhelming filled with deadly power and imminent danger the stakes had escalated beyond anything he had anticipated as the battlefield plunged Into Darkness in danger Jong realized with a sinking heart that the real fight for survival was just beginning the two Crimson beasts had just left when a goat-like creature appeared from the black hole level two monster terror War goat but it wasn't a herbivore like a goat rather a Bloodthirsty fiend Jong rushed up to the roof of the building

kicking the door open and quickly scaling the stairs to the rooftop he was out of breath as he surveyed the scene his eyes fixed on the ominous black hole to his alarm the black hole began to churn once more spitting out mutants these were smaller than the Crimson steel beasts level one mutants known as Purple Cloud War ants despite their lower level their sheer numbers were unsettling Jong counted Hundreds of the creatures and felt a surge of worry he glanced at the dimensional gate wondering just what level of the wastelands it was connected to the

little monster continued to blow its horn and his anxiety grew the sudden influx of so many strong and Troublesome monsters meant that dealing with them would be far from Easy from his past experience Jong knew that since the apocalypse began not only had Wheels fallen from The sky but countless golden Saint lights had also struck the ground with devastating Force as he recalled a vague image of a monster Dominion he remembered that such a place was teeming with creatures not native to Earth these monsters roamed freely and the Very atmosphere of that place could plunge

humans into deep despair it was a realm filled with bizarre Flora precious ores and various resources alongside many unknown Treasures as he continued to Observe the opening of the dimensional gate he braced himself for whatever would emerge next to his horror a hand reached out from the black hole gripping a massive iron bar the figure that emerged was grayish black entirely nude and bearing sharp fangs his heart sank as he realized it was a zombie ape unlike ordinary Monsters the zombie ape was a level three zombie a far more formidable and Dreadful adversary the apocalypse

had only just begun so how Could a level three zombie appear so soon in his past life he had heard that humans typically evolve to level three in about 3 weeks with the fastest record Being just that the appearance of such a highlevel zombie or any three- star monsters before even 3 weeks had passed was inconceivable and deeply troubling the zombie ape was effortlessly demolishing giant buildings as though they were mere toys in front of the Monstrous creature stood Lee's team and With a single massive hand the zombie ape seized one of the men the

unfortunate individual had no chance to resist the zombie ape simply tightened its grip blood poured from between its fingers cascading down and splattering onto Lee's face Lee looked on in stunned disbelief at the sheer number of beasts pouring into the area Pooh hidden at top AAR observed the unfolding chaos the radio next to her crackled with jong's voice asking for the current location of The treasure monster puuh responded that it was still by the lake he then inquired about the Colossal Terror goat wanting to know its whereabouts she informed him that it was located to

the left behind the Ang Shin building he instructed her to keep him updated on the terror goat's location and to report any unusual activity in the area switching his position by jumping from one building to another he told leang to stay close to his position Pooh's update Came when the treasure monster was now wearing a purple sky warrant and moving along the Pearl Lake Jong confirmed that the portal was not yet closed based on his past experiences he knew that the treasure monster could only blow the flute once to summon all the mutants however the

flute had already stopped so why was the abyss still open confused and frustrated he decided to set aside his questions without hesitation he leapt to the ground and Drew his Moonblade with a swift gust of wind he beheaded three Undead creatures quickly snatching the magic crystals from their foreheads he made sure not to waste any of these valuable small crystals suddenly a desperate Cry for Help pierced the chaos he turned his attention toward the source of the sound and saw that the terror goat was attacking survivors although the terror goat was a level two monster

which was still one Rank above him it was one of the easier mutants to handle moreover the terror goat had a yellow earth-colored fibrous material in its body which was known to be a valuable young treasure feeling a surge of determination he charged directly at the Tera goat using the momentum from his run he pushed off the ground propelling himself into the air he spun mid-flight and landed forcefully on the terror goat's back with lightning fast reflexes his wrists moved deafly as He drove his blade downward the moonblade tore through the terror go tough skin

plunging into its body with precision and force as Jong continued to stab the back of the terror goat those who had fled earlier watched in disbelief they couldn't believe that Jong had managed to LEAP onto the monster's back and break through its defenses considering everyone was a level one superhuman how had Jong managed such a remarkable feat the Terror goat enraged by the tiny human on its back began to spin and jump violently trying to shake Jong off Jong fully aware of the terror goat's intentions pressed his blade in even deeper the Beast let out

a furious Roar lifting its head high in a vain attempt to lessen the pain onlookers were stunned to see that his blade could actually pierce the terror goat's body while their own attacks had barely made a dent in its fur and skin Jong gripping His Blade with all his might struggled to maintain his hold and prevent being thrown off to stay on the Tera goat's back a bit longer he had no choice but to keep his blade firmly embedded in the creature using every ounce of his strength to stay in place the terror goat grew

increasing ly violent charging straight into the nearby building the impact sent shards of glass and debris flying causing Jong to sustain some injuries seeing that this tactic was Effective the terror goat became even more Reckless rampaging wildly and smashing into everything in its path eventually the creature came to a halt realizing it had found a way to deal with Jong understanding that staying on the terror goat's back was no longer viable Jong pulled his blade out with all his strength and foul smelling blood sprayed from the wound he quickly leapt down from the goat's back

but as soon as he landed the terror goat's foot Came Crashing Down where he had just been the Beast fixed its Fierce Gaze on Jong preparing for another attack Gathering his strength Jong readied himself for a decisive blow he sprang into the air with agility swinging his arm and driving his blade straight towards the terror goat's vital spot unlike the back this area was devoid of Bones and filled with soft meaty tissue the terror goat writhing in pain flung Jong away and immediately charged at him with its Massive horns intent on finishing the fight Jong

had been hurt and blood sprayed from his mouth despite spitting out blood he managed a grim smile knowing that the terror goat was definitely dead the creature made a final feudal attempt to struggle before collapsing to the ground the survivors from earlier who had secretly approached to see the outcome were taken aback JN cast a cold glance in their Direction one of the middle-aged evolved Individuals asked how Jong had managed to defeat the monster he responded curtly advising them that if they had decided to run earlier they should have done so completely and not interfered

now he pointed outside making it clear that he did not welcome their presence and instructed them to leave immediately the survivors faces fell their expressions sour they insisted that while Jong had indeed killed the monster they had also fought it earlier claiming They deserved some of the credit Jong gave a cold laugh dismissing their claim he retorted that they hadn't even managed to breach the monster skin and yet had the audacity to claim credit the survivors feeling a mix of Shame and anger began to shout and point at Jong expressing their frustration they argued that

such a high-ranked monster could be exchanged for valuable resources and questioned why they should just give up Jong however had no intention of wasting Time on them he coldly shouted instructing them to get lost although Jong was only level one evolved at the moment his reputation preceded him he had already taken down numerous Undead and mutants instilling a sense of awe rather than anger among the group The Atmosphere among them shifted immediately their morale seemed to deflate the man at the center of the group authoritative and Stern warned him to be smart and get lost

they were Determined to take the item and if necessary they would deal with Jong harshly the middle-aged man noticed his injuries one arm dangling uselessly and advised him to think carefully before acting stressing that rashness would only bring him more harm his tone was laced with a genuine concern for his safety meanwhile a larger more boisterous member of the group pointed out that the man in the center had killed someone one just the day before In the current chaotic times where the old laws no longer applied killing had become a more accepted practice the group

now stirred up and aggressive urged Jong to surrender the item willingly their message was clear the choice was his but resistance would come at a cost Jong pulled out his radio and Pooh's Voice crackled through the report was urgent numerous Undead were advancing toward his location meanwhile a little monster with a yellowish gold Bag strapped to its back had stormed into a candy store where a squad of survivors had it surrounded Jong understood immediately that the bag was today's main objective he couldn't afford to let anyone else get their hands on it his plan was

clear retrieve the valuable item quickly and then make a hasty exit the group behind him sensing his hesitation demanded he leave behind his radio his blade and anything else of value if he wanted to walk away Unscathed Jung turned to face them his eyes narrowing as he remarked on their insatiable greed the man in the middle however was not interested in negotiating he was determined to act first in the wake of the Apocalypse he had seen everything change drastically the people who once troubled him scolded him or tried to undermine him were now irrelevant the

girl who used to threaten his job had become nothing more than a Play thing and the leader who once challenged his authority now graveled before him after he had crippled the man's daughter the world had shifted and he was determined to seize his power in this new reality with a Steely resolve he swung his weapon towards Jong ready to assert his dominance and secure his position in this harsh New World in an instant a blinding flash of light cut through the chaos the middle-aged man's weapon slipped from his grasp and fell To the ground it

took him a few agonizing seconds to react his screams of pain finally breaking the tense silence Junk's voice cut through the commotion when you want to kill someone remember others might want to kill you too with a swift kick Jong sent the man sprawling crashing into two of his companions who joined in the cries of Agony as Jong seized the precious item and made his exit the onlookers could only watch in stunned silence soon after A horde of Undead emerged and the group's fear became palpable desperate cries filled the air as they scrambled to cope

with the new threat inside a nearby building the sharp deafening crack of gunfire echoed as several guns concentrated their fire on the do's defense line chunga after dealing with a pile of mutated rats outside saw Mo return visibly shaken and pale he quickly inquired about what had happened but Mo only muttered that the giant rats Had been nauseating her concern shift shed to Zay who was anxiously looking around and expressed her deep worry for her husband clearly distressed by the uncertainty of his whereabouts and safety seeing Mo's distress chungo reassured her xiaoqin was with the

government division stationed in the newly open District an area with many buildings but few people and Undead it was also not far from the Armored Division Barracks he then shifted the Conversation asking mo why she had just returned and mentioning that he needed to report to the team leader Mo's thoughts turned to jong's Resolute figure and the pr they had made she was about to explain when Chung Long's sudden shout Cut Her Off The Noise they had made had attracted a massive monster a few people rushed to the window and saw with a growing alarm

the enormous zombie ape charging directly toward the building the sight of the Monstrous Creature was both terrifying and Urgent making their earlier concerns about safety seem trivial in comparison the armed police squad quickly adjusted their gun muzzles and began firing at the zombie ape however as they soon discovered their bullets had no impact on the creature the realization hit them hard if the Beast made it downstairs they would all be doomed chungi turned to Mo and urgently told her to help him deal with the zombie ape meanwhile at The 3:00 position Zay cried out as

she Unleashed Flames from her flamethrower chungong and shiao joined her their guns firing relentlessly to push back the mutated rats that were swarming in that direction chungo watched them struggle against the fast moving rats when without warning a gray arm reached in through the window from below aiming to grab him in a split second Mo's arm shot out swatting the Undead's arm away just in time to save Chun but the undead Retaliated its sharp claws tearing into Mo's arm the close encounter left everyone on edge battling both the Monstrous zombie ape and the Relentless Undead

that threatened their safety seeing the scene unfold chunga's heart sank he furiously emptied his clip into the Undead's head his anger barely subsiding despite the Relentless fire frustrated he shouted at Mo demanding to know what she was doing calmly Mo assured him that she was fine and Wouldn't be infected the rest of the group's expression shifted as they took in the situation Silay showing a determined resolve drew a blade and prepared to cut off her own arm believing that a disability was better than death she moved to grab her arm but Mo quickly intervened stopping

her Mo then revealed the truth she had taken Evolution medicine and was fine to prove her Point she showed them her wound which had miraculously healed and then Punched the wall with such force that it cracked through Mo declared that she was now an evolver and had consumed evolutionary medicine so they shouldn't worry about her her display left everyone stunned and speechless pointing out the window she reminded them that the zombie ape was still advancing after a moment of Dazed silence the group saw the massive creature drawing nearer instantly they fired all available bullets at

it but normal ammunition had No effect then a burst of gunfire rang out hitting the zombie ape's eyes the bullets were from the Special ammo Jong had given her the zombie ape roared in Fury clutching its injured eye and grabbing a nearby by car to hurl at them Mo's group quickly dropped to the floor bracing themselves as the car flew through the air toward their position at that moment Jong was in the midst of a conversation with leang she informed him that she had encountered a group of Thugs and would need to deal with them

before proceeding Jong asked if she was capable of handling the situation leang assured him that they were not a significant challenge for her he instructed her to seek out teacher Pooh if she found the situation too difficult as Jong spoke he saw several cars hurtling past between the buildings their chaotic movement clearly the work of the enraged zombie ape the creature was using every method at its disposal To vent its Fury Jong was unaware that his first teammate whom he had focused on after being revived was facing a life or death struggle his primary concern

was ensuring he reached the treasure monster before others could snatch it away and he hoped to reach Pearl Lake soon Jong still nursing the injuries from his recent battles felt a pressing need for a Healer on his team in the apocalypse many survivors didn't perish from combat but from missing the crucial Window for treatment medicines were a rare luxury far more valuable than food and water and healers were highly sought after having just one pharmacist in his team would allow him to fight at full strength without holding back haah high observing the attractive woman before

him regarded her with interest he explained that it wasn't a matter of not letting Lyon go but that advancing further was extremely dangerous he suggested that staying with them was the Safest option despite this he made his way to the street leading to Pearl Lakes Road hoping to navigate the little monster ahead the leader of the thugs blocking liang's path warned her that it was dangerous ahead and suggested it would be safer for her to stay with them he thought about how Captain ya had provided him with weapons and evolution medicine and even arranged a

squad for him but had taken away a valuable card from the wheel hoah High knew that card Was worth far more than the medicine and it was clear that Captain ya had used him as cannon fodder however this woman intrigued him haahi was not interested in liang's appearance but rather in the evolved Aura surround ing her her unusual weapon and the fact that her earlier phone call had been to someone else all these Clues indicated that she was part of a squad and despite her strength she wasn't even the leader seeing Leong's unwavering resolve he

Decided to let her go but demanded she share how she had become so strong liang's frustration with the group was palpable she recounted her past life as one of struggle and exhaustion feeling like a sheep among Predators until the apocalypse came and wiped out those who tormented her the world had changed dramatically even though she faced constant danger she had never felt so liberated and refreshed she considered herself fortunate to have met a man who Despite his strictness truly cared about her well-being Jong had taught her how to become stronger and survive in this harsh

new world for the first time in years she felt she could truly rely on someone now seeing Jong in grave danger while this group impeded her progress her face hardened with determination as she cracked her whip giving the thugs an ultimatum either they could choose to get out of her way or face dire consequences at a newspaper stand Jong Crouched low trying to keep himself hidden Captain y's military Squad was advancing down the road and JN could see purple ants pouring out of a black hole in the middle of the street ready to attack the

soldiers the total assault had begun Captain Ya's command rang out kill them instantly the Army's Firepower Unleashed a torrent of bullets toward the advancing ants the first wave of gunfire seemed to have a clear impact and the soldiers morale surged as they Saw their initial efforts pay off hiding behind the new stand Jong shook his head recognizing that these soldiers were in for a harsh reality check the giant ants quickly regrouped and counterattacked they stood upright almost humanlike and began spraying streams of corrosive green liquid from their mouths the areas where the liquid landed began

to dissolve rapidly causing agonized screams from the soldiers as their weapons melted into blackened Smoking wreckage Jong concealed on the side weighed the decision of whether to assist the baguer soldiers but as he watched Captain y standing at top of vehicle with a cold indifferent gaze his resolve hardened he sneered and decided to head straight for Pearl Lake without further delay as Jong dashed away Captain y noticed him his eyes narrowing with a cold dismissive snort Jong rounded a corner and arrived at Pearl Lake quickly scanning the area for the Lakeside candy Booth he spotted

two ants surrounding a wooden house confirming that he was in the right place just as Jong moved closer a horn blared and his expression shifted in alarm the giant black hole on the lake suddenly expanded dramatically Jong couldn't believe what he was seeing the little monster was opening a dimensional portal for the second time amidst the blaring horn a massive menacing creature slowly emerged from the Dark Void the site was both Shocking and forboding escalating the urgency of his mission the creature emerging from the black hole was an unsettling sight its entire body was covered

in a deep crimson and it had three thick crude legs in both the front and back giving it a grotesque unnatural appearance its forearms similarly grotesque grew directly from its shoulders and flanks the creature was wrapped in heavy pitch black Iron chains which clanked with every movement on its Head a single blue horn flickered rhythmically as if breathing his eyes widened in shock as he recognized the monster it was the chain prisoner a Notorious being that had become increasingly powerful since the apocalypse began this creature had broken through the wastelands Fortress and emerged into the

outside world now it bore a level four green magic Crystal embedded in its forehead this marked it as one of the first level 9 mutants Humanity had ever encountered before Humanity had any level 9 superhumans the chain prisoner was the Undisputed Terror it roamed aimlessly leaving a path of destruction in its wake obliterating Survivor bases and wreaking havoc wherever it went it wasn't until Humanity also developed level 9 superhumans that a trio of these powerful beings was able to bring it down that battle became legendary known as the battle where Shin earned the Title of

the slaughter Rose the enormity of the situation now before Jong was clear this was a confrontation with a creature that had once been a symbol of unparalleled Jong assessed his own capabilities thanks to the evolution medicine and crocodile meat he was much stronger than the average level one evolved his expertise and knowledge of the Apocalypse allowed him to handle level two mutants with relative ease however facing a rank four monster like The chain prisoner would be suicidal so he decided against engaging it directly he swiftly moved between the two purple ants outside the candy store

with precise strikes he tore through their bodies retrieved the crystals embedded in their foreheads and removed their sharpest toes his primary focus now was to locate and seize the treasure monster with the coveted bag on its back Joan kicked open the store's door with a single powerful blow inside the scene Was chaotic littered with corpses that hinted at a fierce battle having taken place at that moment Jong realized he had lost contact with the two women His Radio emitted only static heightening his sense of unease as he wondered what could have happened just then a

gunshot rang out from the back door there CEO Lee was commanding his troops their guns firing relentlessly he held a radio in his hand urgently requesting reinforcements from Captain ya CEO Lee Had observed earlier that the treasure monster had pulled a bottle of evolution medicine from its bag and splashed it over itself this monster was potentially the day's most significant prize with its shoulder struck by a bullet the treasure monster emitted a strange cry CEO Lee now filled with excitement instructed his team to devise ways to take down the monster from a top the purple

ant's body the stakes were high and securing the treasure Monster's bag Was crucial suddenly Jong burst into the scene with remarkable speed the troops caught off guard scrambled to raise their guns but Jong was too fast for them he struck with Precision his punches Landing before they could even pull the triggers CEO Lee barely had time to lift his weapon before Jong was upon Him delivering a powerful elbow strike to his chest with the military gun now in his possession Jong noted that Captain ya had seemingly abandoned All military support for this operation his determination

surged as he forcefully stomped his foot propelling himself urgently toward the treasure monster he knew the situation with the treasure monster was about to become widely known and he needed to secure the bag before anyone else could get to it meanwhile CEO Lee realizing the gravity of the situation grabbed his radio and urgently contacted Captain y he reported that the treasure was right there and Warned that if Captain y didn't act quickly others would claim it the urgency in his voice underscored the high stakes of the operation as everyone raced to secure the prized bag

before it slipped away Jong pressed on relentlessly finally spotting the treasure Monster by a lake near the plaza the creature had dismounted from the monster ant and was now leisurely gnawing on a chicken leg it had scavenged from somewhere Jong observed That the treasure monsters previously wounded shoulder had fully healed looking as good as new suddenly the treasure monster turned its gaze towards Jong halting its gnawing and emitting a low menacing growl at that sound the two purple ants nearby charged at Jong to his surprise these ants were not ordinary they were level two generals

typically purple ants were level one mutants generals were level two kings were level three and queens were level Four or higher as one of the generals sprayed its corrosive liquid towards him Jong realized it was setting up an ambush he quickly ducked raising his head just in time to avoid the spray the general then spread its transparent wings and began to lift off the ground Jong anticipated its next move swiftly shifting his blade from his right hand to his left and executing a powerful slash the blade sliced through the wings severing them from the body

the general Thrown off balance by the force of the strike crashed to the ground a torrent of greenish liquid spilling out seizing the opportunity Jong drove his blade into the General's head ensuring its death he then quickly turned and extracted the Crystal from its forehead with the general dispatched Jong glanced back at the treasure monster still in Ro in its chicken leg the creature remained oblivious to the unfolding battle allowing jong a brief moment of respit As he prepared for his next move the treasure Monster's chicken leg tumbled to the ground as it stared at

Jong in disbelief Panic overtook the creature it frantically looked around and began to shriek loudly Jong focused on his plan moved in with the intent to behead the monster and claim the yellowish gold bag for himself just as he was about to strike the treasure monster reached into its bag and pulled out an item hurling it toward Jong Jong braced himself for An attack but as the item neared he realized it was a scroll he caught it with his free hand and unrolled it discovering it was a beginner summon spell Jung was pleasantly surprised such

a skill scroll especially a well-known summoning skill was a rare find in the apocalypse without hesitation Jong gripped the scroll tightly and prepared to learn its Secrets the treasure monster watched in stunned silence as his actions rendered its previous Efforts feudal in a desperate move the treasure monster tossed another scroll toward Jong this one was a Prof Prof promotion scroll an item Jong had paid dearly for in his past life now it was being discarded as though it were worthless his interest in these items grew he asked the treasure monster if it had any more

valuable items or else he would proceed to kill it faced with his threat the monster quickly produced two more items one appeared to be level one Evolution medicine and the other was a profession certificate Jong opened the certificate and was astonished to find it read congratulations you have obtained the profession of gardener the absurdity of the situation made Jong speechless what was once a highly sought-after item now seemed almost inconsequential yet he couldn't help but appreciate the unexpected windfall with these new developments Jong was both intrigued and determined to continue his Pursuit of the treasure

monster eager to see what else it might have to offer a gunshot rang out drawing attention shiao intrigued asked Mo about the type of gun she was using and how it managed to hurt the monster Chung observing her enjoyment in the fight finally understood why Mo had left the team for for a while the precise shot had struck the zombie ape's right knee tearing through the gray skin and exposing the blackened kneecap underneath the Teammates looked on in astonishment shifting their gaze between the injured zombie ape and the rifle in Mo's hands Jong had provided

Mo with Evolution medicine bullets and this powerful weapon despite her impressive contributions Mo felt that such an expensive reward was more than she deserved Jong was the one she believed truly earned it she explained to her teammates that some things were Beyond imagination and almost m IAL she Promised to reveal more about her Newfound strength and the origin of her weapons if they survived the encounter the formidable power of her gun had forced the zombie ape to pause lowering its head to inspect the wound it led out a furious Roar directed at Mo seeing the

zombie ap's renewed aggression Mo ordered her team to focus their fire on the wound just then someone entered the scene instructing the shooter to join director Lou's team after a moment the Official noticed that everyone was fixated on mo mo sensing the urg urged her teammates to assist her in attacking the right knee of the zombie ape four team members swiftly aimed their guns at the Target seemingly ignoring the officials previous directive as Mo prepared to resume her attack the official reached out from behind drawn to The Peculiar nature of her gun annoyed by the

interruption Mo elbowed him in the chest in protest the Official reprimanded her suspecting that her gun might have been acquired through dubious means he insisted on stopping her to inspect the weapon adding an unexpected complication to the already tense situation ation Mo was fiercely determined to protect everyone's lives she glared at the official demanding he get lost immediately she made it clear that she had no intention of joining director Lou's team and warned him not to bother her again or she would kill Him her Outburst left everyone startled the official fuming with anger shouted that

Mo was disobeying orders and would face disciplinary action in response Mo decisively fired a shot at the wall just beside his ear using the threat to force him to turn and leave chungu and the others were taken about by Mo's rash Behavior but couldn't deny the effectiveness of her actions they wondered if she would be able to stay with the team in the future Mo however Was adamant that she had no intention of remaining with the police force she told them bluntly that aside from the ordinary individuals like her teammates there was nothing worth keeping

her there Mo expressed her disillusionment with the place questioning whether they truly understood the purpose of their Relentless struggle and what they would ultimately gain from it her behavior had seemed odd since her return but now it was clear MO revealed the harsh truth She had overheard they were being used as cannon fodder for Captain yay while Captain y could seize the treasure the rest of them apart from making sacrifices would only receive Evolution medicine for his wife and child the Revelation left everyone in disbelief their sense of reality shaken by the Stark truth Mo

had laid be Jong was taken aback to find that his second profession was Garder although it wasn't what he had expected he recognized some Similarities between gardeners and Artisans both professions boasted multiple skills Beyond on the standard set for gardeners there were two main abilities the first was cultivation the skill to plant seeds and accelerate their growth with remarkable speed and efficiency this ability could lead to some extraordinary results the second skill was activation the power to control plants and use them to accomplish various tasks he recalled From his past life an encounter with a

sycamore tree an evolution of which was so formidable that even the strongest of human and monster factions dared not approach it known as the Heaven tree its sheer presence was awe inspiring he felt a surge of excitement at the thought of commanding mutated plants Imagining the advantages of growing food and producing resources in the apocalypse eager to see if the treasure monster had anything else to offer he asked for more the Treasure monster in response tossed another item toward him he reached out to grab it but a sudden sense of danger made him wary he

instinctively dodged just as the item hit the ground and exploded with a loud boom as the smoke began to clear a glowing green venomous monster emerged from the haze it had no Crystal on its forehead and was clearly a summoned creature the blue aura surrounding it radiated intense corrosive properties making it a Formidable and dangerous opponent he hesitated to draw his blade fearing it might get damaged instead he quickly plunged his hand into the fountain beside him as his hand submerged the water began to bubble and froth and within seconds a human-shaped water Elemental emerged

with its gaping mouth the elemental Unleashed a powerful stream of water at the glowing venomous monster the two creatures clashed fiercely in a chaotic battle this was a Result of his basic skill transference the summoning was limited to just one minute so he knew he needed to act fast for a decisive Victory the treasure monster bewildered by his sudden move glanced at him with a look of disbelief before attempting to flee however it only made it a few steps before running straight into Lee's group Lee's Sinister laugh filled the air as he declared kill them

his subordinates immediately opened fire their bullets tearing through the Air Jong agile and quick darted behind a nearby sculpture feeling a surge of frustration he couldn't avoid the gunfire and was deeply reluctant to see the treasure monster fall into Lee's hands with the enemy's magazine running low he seized his chance he pulled out a pistol and with precise aim took down two of Lee's men in a single dive the remaining Fighters scattered in fear seeking cover taking advantage of the Chaos he charged towards the treasure monster amidst the gunfire he reached the monster seized it

and swiftly grabbed the the prize in that intense moment he experienced the most profound emotional upheaval since his Revival every time he had scrambled for Treasure mutants in his past life the fights had been brutal with death rates soaring above 60% the Victorious few had always treated the treasure mutants as nothing more than a minor nuisance today he was Poised to be the Victor wasn't he but suddenly a chilling premonition swept over him Jong reacted instantly dodging to the side a split second later he saw a flash of movement the treasure monster monster let out

a wretched shriek as its mouth lashed out he narrowly avoided a Savage attack but if he hadn't moved in time that severed arm would have been his as he glanced around his heart sank he hadn't anticipated this three evolved humans had arrived attacking with Ruthless efficiency clearly they were well adapted to the apocalypse and fought with a level of brutality that he had not expected he ignored their warnings and decisively grabbed the yellowish gold bag clutching it tightly in his hand however beams of light speed Spears shot toward him forcing him to pull back a

long spear came dangerously close to his face if his right hand hadn't been injured he might have managed to fend off the attack but in His current state taking on three evolved humans at once was too risky reluctantly he had to fall back as he retreated he kicked the treasure monster away surprising the trio they hadn't expected him to risk his life to protect the bag Lee seeing the opportunity quickly informed Wong that the target was right before them Wong smirked clearly pleased with the turn of events the leader fuming with anger cursed Jong and

ordered his men to focus on grabbing The bag first ignoring his presence Wong instructed his partner to secure the treasure while he created a diversion a fierce battle ensued turning the area into a chaotic mess of water and debris The Next Step was to seize the opportunity and capture the treasure wonging team knew they had to wait for the perfect moment to snatch it back ensuring they made their move at the right time to maximize their chances the situation with Mo was rapidly Deteriorating the zombie ape had a horde of Undead blocking the entire area

relief and emotion before they could fully exchange words a deafening Roar Drew their attention high above a top of skyscraper a monstrous fish face emerged the chain prisoner the sight was both horrifying and awe inspiring an ominous reminder of the chaos that was about to unfold seeing Mo leap out of the window With such resolve chunga was left puzzled chungong and shiau exchanged determined glances before immediately jumping down to follow her chunga and Zay were left Frozen their thoughts racing just then footsteps echoed from outside the door the secretary who had previously fled in a

panic had returned with reinforcements in search of Mo both enraged argued that these soldiers would be far more useful in the battle rather than turning against their own chunga Intent on retrieving Mo decided to follow the path the others had taken Sil admired chza and his determination though she longed to join them her thoughts were with her husband waiting for their reunion realizing their situations were different she reluctantly stayed behind meanwhile The Towering and terrifying chain prisoner loomed ominously at top the high-rise puuh informed Mo that the last time she saw Jong was near that

monster Mo's face Tightened with concern she was Resolute in her desire to find him hoping he was unharmed the sight of the monster was indeed formidable but Pooh pulled Mo's hand urging her to focus on rescuing leang who was in immediate danger while Mo was deeply concerned about his situation puuh assessed the situation and concluded that Jong was likely searching for something rather than actively provoking the enormous monster she suggested focusing on rescuing leang First and then returning to find him Mo though still worried gritted her teeth and agreed just then chungong shiau and Chung

arrived having followed Mo's lead they recognized the urgency and understood the need to act swiftly Mo's eyes brightened at their arrival with such skilled Warriors by her side she felt confident they could make a difference she instructed Pooh to lead the way and emphasized the need to rescue leang first meanwhile leang was In Dire Straits surrounded by the mangled remains of her Fallen foes she panted heavily a painful wound bleeding on her chest she wiped the blood from her mouth reflecting on the brutal reality of combat the Thug Boss nursing his injured arm sneered and

Fury evident she landed a powerful punch on him knocking him out before he could fully comprehend the threat Mo and her team quickly took Control of the situation rescuing leang from the brink of disaster Jong observed the clash between the two formidable forces before him with a detached calm the man in front already an imposing figure seemed to grow even more powerful with each vigorous movement his eyes narrowed this was no ordinary opponent this individual belonged to a rare and formidable profession known for its Incredible strength in his past life Chong Mao had also been

a part of such a Specialized group The these three adversaries who had faced and survived level one monsters had now encountered level three threats making them a significant challenge for him their luck had been extraordinary propelling them from ordinary level one evolved humans to powerful figures facing High Level Threats his thoughts were interrupted by the sudden appearance of soldiers who had arrived on the scene among them was a level two evolved human a rare sight That surprised him seeing someone of that caliber in a professional capacity was not something he was unaccustomed to but the

timing was notable a twinge of Envy flickered within him despite being a reincarnator he remained only a level one evolved human the presence of these level two evolved humans coupled with the extraordinary abilities of his opponents made him re-evaluate his strategy the situation was more complex than he had anticipated and he needed to Adapt quickly to survive and possibly turn the tide in his favor Wong despite having acquired a level two wheel was frustrated by the lack of level two mutated monsters available for him to fight even if such monsters were present he questioned whether
