"This is…" Alex frowned.
"Creeeak!"
Suddenly, a group of zombies let out eerie sounds and then sward toward Alex and his companions.
"Not good, these guys have revived again!" Avril's face changed drastically, and she frantically dodged the zombies' attacks.
"Creeeak!"
Alex gritted his teeth, then pulled out a dagger and thrust it fiercely into the neck of one of the zombies.
"Crack!"
As the dagger was withdrawn, a splash of crimson liquid followed, and the zombie's head dropped to the ground.
"Phew!"
After doing all this, Alex let out a long breath, finally relaxing his tense nerves a little.
But at this mont, several dark shadows swept past him. Alex was startled and imdiately raised his dagger to stab beside him.
"Shh—"
The sound of the blade piercing flesh echoed around. Alex looked down to see a sharp spike deeply embedded in his chest.
Blood slowly oozed from the wound, and Alex felt dizzy.
He wanted to struggle, but soon, countless hands pressed him down, making him unable to move.
"Creeeak!"
At this mont, Alex had beco the target of all attention. While the zombies roared frantically, more zombies pounced on him.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Gunshots rang out continuously, and in an instant, zombies were knocked down by the bullets.
"Avril?"
"King…" Avril leaned weakly against the wall and said, "Sorry, I did my best."
As soon as the words fell, Avril lost consciousness. Read new chapters at empire
"Ah! Damn it!"
Alex cursed, then wiped the sweat from his forehead. Looking at the densely packed zombies around him, he swallowed hard.
"Fight!"
With that, Alex raised his dagger.
He knew that the current situation left him no room for hesitation.
"Slash!"
After cutting the throat of the nearest zombie, Alex's figure swayed slightly.
"Thud!"
Finally, Alex could no longer hold on and collapsed heavily to the ground. The surrounding zombies, hearing the sound, surged towards him.
"Ugh…"
Alex let out a painful groan. He forced himself to sit up, never imagining he would find himself in such a situation.
"Creeeak!"
Seeing this, the zombies suddenly stopped attacking. They all stared at Alex in unison.
"Aren't you afraid of ?" Alex was stunned. He thought the zombies would fear him, but reality slapped him in the face.
"Roar!"
Hearing Alex's words, the zombie horde suddenly beca agitated, baring their fangs and rushing towards Alex.
Seeing this, Alex's pupils contracted. He hurriedly got up and staggered away. But he hadn't run far before he fell to the ground. His whole body ached imnsely, as if his bones were falling apart.
"Ah!"
The intense pain made Alex cry out.
"Creeeak…"
The zombies beca even more excited, swarming over and pinning Alex to the ground.
"Slash!"
"Ah!"
Alex scread. He raised his left arm to shield his neck, while his right hand ford a fist, aiming a punch at the nearest zombie.
"Bang!"
Alex's fist landed squarely on the zombie's head.
"Boom!"
The zombie's head exploded instantly.
At the sa ti, a strange sensation suddenly echoed in Alex's ears. His vision shifted, and when it cleared, he found himself in an unfamiliar place.
"Where is this?" Alex looked around in confusion.
"Ding—"
At that mont, the cold voice of the system sounded in Alex's ears.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden task [Apocalyptic Survival]. You have received 1000 doomsday coins and the skill: Benevolent Healer."
"Huh?" Alex was stunned.
At that mont, Alex noticed a round piece of jade at his feet. He bent down and picked it up.
[Benevolent Healer]: Wearing this item will grant the host excellent healing effects.
"This thing can actually heal wounds?" Alex asked in astonishnt.
"The items provided by the system need not be doubted by the host," the system replied calmly.
"Heh, I really underestimated you. I didn't think you'd be good at anything other than killing," Alex joked with a smile.
"…" The system remained silent, clearly unwilling to continue the conversation with Alex.
"By the way, since you can help , you should know my current condition, right?" Alex said.
"Ding—"
[Detected that the host is in an extrely dangerous environnt. Please protect your life.]
As soon as the system's voice finished, there was a sudden commotion around Alex.
"Roar!"
Accompanied by a roar, a giant zombie, about two ters tall, erged from the mist.
At this mont, its eyes were blood-red, and a bloodthirsty gleam flickered, making Alex's heart tremble involuntarily.
"Holy crap!" Alex exclaid, his eyes wide and his mouth slightly open. "A zombie king?"
"Roar—"
The zombie king howled angrily towards the sky and then started walking toward Alex step by step.
With each step it took, the air around seed to grow heavier.
"Roar!"
Another roar, and the zombie king swung its massive claws towards Alex.
Alex cursed under his breath and quickly retreated.
"Bang!"
The huge claws struck the floor heavily, causing the entire floor to crack.
Seeing this, Alex's heart almost leaped out of his throat. Jeez! Does it have to be this terrifying?
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, the zombie king spat out a crimson crystal from its fanged mouth.
"Holy crap!" Alex exclaid instinctively, dodging out of the way.
"Crack!"
The crystal core hit the ground, instantly transforming into a cloud of white smoke and disappearing on the spot. Imdiately, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the wall near where the crystal core landed.
Alex quickly took a few steps back, staring in shock at the zombie king. He had never seen such a terrifying crystal core before.
What on earth is this thing?
"Roar!"
While Alex was contemplating, the zombie king suddenly let out a long howl, then lunged at Alex with great force.
Feeling the wind rushing towards him, Alex's expression changed slightly. He quickly sidestepped, narrowly avoiding the zombie king's lethal strike.
However, the zombie king's claw still managed to graze Alex's shoulder, causing blood to flow imdiately.
Alex clutched the wound in pain, frowning at the terrifying zombie king before him.
"Damn…" Alex gritted his teeth.
At that mont, the zombie king's body suddenly grew significantly larger, reaching a height of three ters. Its thick limbs made Alex feel like he could hardly breathe.
"Bang!"
"Hiss!"
Alex's resistance was quickly suppressed. He took a blow to the chest from the zombie king, breaking several of his ribs.
Despite this, Alex hurriedly got back on his feet. If he couldn't get out of here in ti, Avril and the others wouldn't hold out for long.
