I Stack Attributes in the Apocalypse

Chapter 60: Good Hope Village’s Defense System and Help

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The destructive power of the zombie horde was truly formidable.

They gathered in large groups, stretching as far as the eye could see. They were also incredibly strong, and there were even variants with different abilities like the giant zombies and the hunters.

Any normal gathering place, once confronted with a zombie horde of thousands, could only meet one fate—destruction and death.

In certain aspects, the gathering place on Guangping Street fell within the realm of normalcy.

For example, the surface construction fortifications of the gathering place.

Simple reinforced city walls, pre-apocalypse old houses, ordinary roadblocks and traps.

As Wang Xiong had said, even though Lu Ming was strong, he was just one person with a pair of hands. He did not possess any large-scale offensive superpowers. Compared to the Tyrant with stronger individual strength, Lu Ming found it difficult to deal with a large number of ordinary zombies.

One iron discus after another was thrown out by Lu Ming, creating bloodied paths amidst the sea of zombies.

From time to time, Lu Ming would pick up his slingshot and accurately kill the highly threatening hunters.

However, these actions still could not stop the zombie horde from approaching the gathering place.

It did not take long for the vanguard of the zombie horde to reach the foot of the city wall.

The nearly io-meter-high city wall appeared frail in the face of the zombie horde.

Agile hunters could easily leap over it.

Giant zombies stepped on the zombies, allowing them to climb up the city wall.

Ordinary zombies formed human ladders, and the city wall could not hold them back.

Some hot-tempered giant zombies even pounded the gate, causing it to quickly distort and deform. It seemed like it would not hold for much longer. There were even impatient giant zombies who picked up the zombies and threw them over the wall as if they were throwing shot puts.

The city wall barely blocked the zombie wave for less than half a minute before it completely lost its effect.

Upon entering the gathering place, the zombies became even more excited.

They roared ferociously as they charged towards Lu Ming’s observation tower, demolishing houses along the way and trampling over farmland. The once well-maintained gathering place was immediately turned into a disaster zone under the onslaught of the zombie horde.

Zhang Lixin and Li Zitong watched this scene with pained expressions, their mouths twitching uncontrollably…

“That was our hard work,” Zhang Lixin lamented.

Lu Ming’s mouth twitched uncontrollably in worry.

“My home is in big trouble…”

His hand movement became even faster.

Countless slingshot bullets rained down like a storm, and the groups of zombies were harvested in batches.

However, it still could not stop the zombie tide from rushing to the vicinity of the observation tower.

At this moment,

Zhang Chengcheng made her move.

After advancing to Level 3, Zhang Chengcheng’s superpower strength reached new heights.

This was not only reflected in a higher gravitational field, but also in the endurance of the superpower, the range of its influence, and even the finesse of its manipulation.

At this moment, Zhang Chengcheng raised her hand, and a twisted ripple spread out from her hand.

The ripples expanded, spreading within a 30-meter diameter centered around the observation tower.

“Gravity, five times!”

A gravitational field was generated.

The footsteps of the zombie horde instantly stagnated.

Five times the gravitational field was not a difficult task for a Level 3 Zhang Chengcheng.

However, for ordinary zombies whose physical fitness was only slightly stronger than ordinary people, it was nothing short of a disaster.

The ordinary zombies instantly collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

As for the giant zombies and hunters that could still move, they were immediately targeted and killed precisely by Lu Ming.

It was ridiculous how the zombie horde had initially advanced with great momentum, but in the final tens of meters before their meal, they were completely immobilized.

“Chengcheng, well done!”

Even Lu Ming could not help but exclaim in admiration.

Although Zhang Chengcheng’s strength was nothing compared to Lu Ming, various abilities with unique effects could achieve things that even Lu Ming could not.

It was only at this moment that Zhao Honglei finally understood the means by which Guangping Street’s gathering place resisted the zombie horde.

A powerhouse.

An unbelievably powerful one.

The existence of such a person ensured the immediate elimination of the most threatening high-level zombies.

An almost indestructible defensive line, combined with a group of Awakened individuals with diverse superpowers.

This observation tower was the indestructible defensive line.

The material of the observation tower was actually nothing special—it was made of iron.

However, with the assistance of Li Zitong’s earth-element superpower, it reinforced the foundation of the observation tower, making it even more sturdy.

There was also another high-level Awakened with outstanding crowd-killing and control abilities.

With this setup, the group resisted the zombie horde centered around the watchtower, leaving the horde with almost no opportunities.

What was even more impressive was the shelter beneath the observation tower.

Ordinary survivors without combat strength could hide inside. As long as the external defensive line held up, the survivors inside would be safe.

Without any worries, the fighters could unleash their full potential and ruthlessly slaughter the zombies.

“Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!”

Expressions of admiration echoed one after another. However, after the sentiment subsided, Zhao Honglei awkwardly scratched his head.

Now, he seemed to be an outsider… because he did not need to contribute anything to this system at all.

Looking down from a higher vantage point, Bai Tianyu could not help but fall into silence when he saw Lu Ming and the others resisting the zombie horde.

He had promised Professor Huo that he would complete this mission.

There was definitely no problem completing the mission, but the embarrassing part was that he was completely an outsider throughout the entire process and did not contribute anything at all.

His gaze turned to the top of the observation tower and saw the man on the top of the tower was pulling the slingshot while smiling and nodding at him.

Yes, Lu Ming had long noticed Bai Tianyu’s presence.

However, from Bai Tianyu’s actions, Lu Ming could tell that he had come with good intentions, so he temporarily ignored him.

Seeing Lu Ming’s smile, Bai Tianyu also smiled awkwardly.

However, he thought to himself, “Who is this kid? His level of abnormality is on par with mine, if not surpassing it.”

Originally, Bai Tianyu was proud…

However, after seeing Lu Ming’s attack, his pride seemed to have melted away into laughter.

“Well, it’s fine this way too. There’s never a shortage of powerful awakened individuals.”

Muttering to himself, Bai Tianyu reached into his pocket and took out a signal flare.

This was a signal flare to notify the military for support.

The Tyrant had been taken care of.

The zombie horde was still a problem.

However, without the leadership of the Tyrant, the danger posed by the zombie horde was significantly reduced. In this case, it would be less dangerous for the military and low-level Awakened to clean up the zombies.

Eight military vehicles rumbled over.

They began to encircle and exterminate the zombies from the periphery.

Bai Tianyu returned to the team, feeling somewhat awkward in the face of the compliments from his fellow team members.

In the minds of the team members, Bai Tianyu must have taken care of the Tyrant… and thus the flattery came one after another.

Bai Tianyu wanted to explain, but considering that dealing with the zombie horde was the current top priority, he kept his explanations to himself.

With the addition of the military and heavy weaponry, the pressure on Lu Ming was greatly relieved.

From the afternoon until the moon reached its zenith.

This zombie wave attack was finally coming to an end..
