Chapter 80 - 80: Awakened: Lu Ming!!

Free Attribute Points: 0

Superpower: Awakening in progress…
Attributes doubled!
When a normal person awakened, their physical condition would indeed multiply. Lu Ming was no exception—after all, he was just an ordinary person with a system.
He gently closed his eyes.
Lu Ming could even faintly feel the rushing sound caused by the flow of his blood.
Like a mighty river, filled with power!
He gently raised his hand, bringing with it a surging wind. Looking at his rough hands, a smile of genuine satisfaction appeared on Lu Ming’s face.
Dr. Huo Sheng didn’t lie to me.
So this is what it feels like to become an Awakened person? Very good, excellent!”
Lu Ming’s sense of security came partly from the order in his home and the shelter, but mostly, it came from his own strength.
As Lu Ming had always believed, attributes were everything; nothing else mattered!
If you had the ability, no one would refute you even if you said the Earth was square!
At this moment, with his strength greatly increased once again, Lu Ming looked at the distant horde of zombies, and the sense of worry he felt just moments ago immediately left him.
“I’ve become an Awakened person, so I’m not afraid of close combat with the zombies anymore.”
Huo Sheng had said that even if he was not an Awakened person, Lu Ming would not be afraid of being infected by the zombie.
But Lu Ming would definitely not take the initiative to try it out.
What if Huo Sheng was wrong?
Now that he had become an Awakened person with dual assurance, Lu Ming had the confidence to fight the zombies in close combat.
Looking at the endless zombie tide, Lu Ming thought for a moment and came up with an idea.
“I shouldn’t be afraid of high-level zombies now. Even dealing with Level 4 ones shouldn’t be a big problem.
“The key is still the large number of ordinary zombies. I still don’t have any group killing methods.”
Never underestimate ordinary zombies.
Their collective impact could be powerful enough to tear down Lu Ming’s house and crush his supplies.
Without supplies, Lu Ming would have to scavenge for food on the streets and eat from garbage cans.
No! He could not bear it!
This was absolutely unbearable!
Thinking about this, Lu Ming made a decision.
He jumped down from the observation tower and landed lightly beside Zhang Chengcheng and the others.
Lu Ming saw Zhang Chengcheng and the others widened their mouths in astonishment.
Because before their eyes, Lu Ming had grown a lot taller again, reaching a height of 2.3 meters!
All the muscles on his body bulged, exuding a violent beauty!
Zhang Chengcheng immediately thought of something.
“Brother Lu….”
But Lu Ming waved his hand to interrupt Zhang Chengcheng.
“We’ll talk after we finish what we need to do.”
After speaking, he looked at Zhang Lixin and Li Zitong.
“Soldier, Zitong, do me a favor.”
“Help me make a close combat weapon.”
“I want it to be like this…”
Following Lu Ming’s description, Zhang Lixin and Li Zitong slowly opened their mouths wide, their faces filled with shock.
The horde of zombies began to move.
With a number in the hundreds of thousands, it was impossible to describe it with words.
It was just like the first time humans saw the sea, being stunned by the vastness and boundlessness of the sea—the zombie tide at this moment produced that kind of feeling.
Sima Xiao firmly believed that in front of a zombie wave of this scale, all the resistance of humans was futile and useless.
Be it ordinary people or Awakened ones, in the face of their own strength, there was only one outcome.
“Death!
As the zombie wave slowly approached Good Hope Village, Sima Xiao’s expression became calmer.
What it was considering at the moment was no longer how the battle would unfold, but rather what would happen after it occupied the Holy Tower.
The ability to foresee the future was indeed remarkable.
This ability did not belong to the active category but was more like a passive ability. It was not that the owner of the ability could foresee the future just by wanting to, but it was more akin to daydreaming, where future fragments would inexplicably appear in the mind.
Just like at this moment…
Just as Sima Xiao was praying and trying to foresee the scene after it occupied the Holy Tower, the ability to foresee the future was suddenly activated…
A fragment appeared in Sima Xiao’s mind.
A beam of light flashed, and it was torn in half.
The terrifying scene in the vision made Sima Xiao shudder.
As the ability faded, Sima Xiao frowned.
“What’s going on?”
No one could answer the question about the vision it had foreseen.
After thinking it over, Sima Xiao came up with a reasonable explanation.
II
Looks like there’ll still be danger after occupying the Holy Tower… Well, that’s for sure. After I occupy the Holy Tower, there will definitely be humans or similar beings who will come to contend for it.
“The future me will definitely encounter battles.”
After convincing itself with this thought, Sima Xiao subtly glanced back.
The four Tanks, Lian Jie and Simba.
“At the moment, they’re in the same camp as me.
“And within this camp, I hold absolute authority.
“If we encounter danger in the future, I can push them out to face the calamity… Yes, that’s how it is.”
Otherwise, why would it establish this alliance?
Why did it share its food and abilities?
Wasn’t it all for the purpose of strengthening its forces and gathering comrades (cannon fodder)?
With that thought in mind, Sima Xiao suddenly saw Simba and Lian Jie shudder.
They had a horrified expression and unconsciously took two steps back! It was as if something terrifying had appeared in Good Hope Village.
Sima Xiao quickly turned his head to look at Good Hope Village.
And there, he saw a figure slowly climbing up the village wall.
The figure reflected in Sima Xiao’s eyes was strong and filled with dominance.
He was 2.3 meters tall and had sturdy and stylish short hair, ordinary facial features but a calm tranquility in the face of danger.
The short and somewhat funny-looking clothes outlined a strong physique, clearly revealing the angular muscles.
But…
That was all there was to it…
A human, what are you pretending to be in front of Level 4 Zombie Kings?!
This was the true thought in Sima Xiao’s heart.
As for the unusual behavior of Xingba and Lian Jie just now, Sima Xiao didn’t pay any attention to it at all. He simply thought that these two devourers were overly cautious, cautious to the point of timidity.
Until Sima Xiao’s eyelids suddenly twitched…
He saw that strong man picking up a saber.
A 40-meter-long saber!
That knife was truly enormous.
Not only was it long, but it was also big and thick!
The shape wasn’t that of a normal saber either. The blade was large and long, and although the handle was also quite big, it required the man to embrace it with both hands. However, proportionally speaking, it had a somewhat mini and cute appearance.
The overall appearance of the saber seemed to be made of stones, but it was mixed with steel. Especially the blade, which underwent special treatment, had a sharp edge that faintly shimmered in the dim sunlight.
Sima Xiao watched as the man raised the large knife and suddenly burst into laughter!
“Is this it? Just this? Who are you trying to scare here!?”
What’s the big deal?
The bigger the weapon, the more impressive it is?
That doesn’t make sense, right?
How can you deal with hundreds of thousands of my Corpse Soldiers with your single saber!?
Sima Xiao did not notice that Simba and Lian Jie, who were behind him, had already gulped. They felt their legs go weak and wanted to run away quickly.
On the low wall of Good Hope Village, Lu Ming slowly exhaled.
Muscles bulged all over his body like tree roots and evil pythons.
He raised his saber horizontally.
Lu Ming made his move..
