Chapter 30:

Why are you still standing there? Come on!

Seeing this scene, even Chairman Yan finally lost his calm expression and could only run for his life while screaming in fear.

But it's too late!

From the moment the crawling zombie attacked him, there was no escape! He saw the black shadow rush toward him, swift as the wind, and he fell to the ground.

"Ah!"

Screams rang out, and almost instantly, Mr. Yan's body was pinned to the ground by the zombie, unable to move.

The sharp claws quickly dug into his flesh, tearing it open in an instant;

Blood plasma sprayed all over the ground, and just looking at it made people shudder!

But looking at the teammates of the mutual aid team, they simply watched in horror, and no one dared to step forward; Even the student who was protected by Mr. Yan did not dare to step forward and simply watched Mr. Yan being eaten alive. "Help! Help me!" Chief Yan screamed miserably. Even though he used his skills to strengthen his body, it was of no use.

Come on, guys! What are you waiting for? Ah!

His arms were completely bitten off, and his fragile bones were as brittle as cicada wings in the face of the zombies' buck teeth.

"Save me, ahhhh!"

As the final scream echoed throughout the community, everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but feel their heart beat faster and cold sweat run through their veins.

It was a pity that no one responded to his call for help, and soon Mr. Yan lost his entire life, lying on the ground like rotten meat, being devoured by zombies, just like the woman in the room just now. Until his death, he didn't understand why he was sold, and could only die in despair and hatred.

It was only then that Liu Ming suddenly came to his senses and shouted to Everyone:

"Now! Kill him!"

The zombie who was obsessed with fresh meat buried his entire head in the corpse!

Now's the perfect time to launch a surprise attack!

As Liu Ming's scream fell, the group of boys who betrayed their teammates finally came to their senses, quickly grabbing their weapons and charging forward from different directions—this was a top-tier experience monster!

The zombie was clumsy and didn't react in time to dodge. Several weapons hit it at the same time, and in an instant, it was covered in wounds.

roar—

The crawling zombie roared again, but this time it was much weaker than before; it vigorously waved its claws, trying to scatter the enemies around it.

But all of this was useless. To become the leader of the community, everyone beamed with excitement: they frantically attacked the zombies with guns, machetes, fire axes, baseball bats, iron bars, and other attacks that left them covered in scars.

No matter how strong the crawler is, it can't cope with the siege of so many people, and some of them are level 3 or 4.

 However, just as the zombie was one step away from death, Liu Ming suddenly appeared! He approached the zombie and rammed the steel pipe into its head with all his might. Click— 

As the sound of a skull cracking was heard, a thick steel pipe was suddenly inserted into the zombie's head. It turned out that Liu Ming had been looking for an opportunity, and only moved forward to finish it off when he saw it was about to collapse. He used everyone as bait! Roar— 

Plaf. After letting out one last low roar, the crawling zombie finally fell into a pool of blood. Consequently, Liu Ming, who dealt the final blow, naturally obtained the most experience points. A voice from the system soon echoed in his mind: "Combat power index: 27, zombies killed: 72, current level: 6."

"Hahahaha! Nonsense!" I'm level six!"

The moment he heard the message, Liu Ming couldn't help but shout in excitement.

Because at that moment, besides him, there were only two other members of the mutual aid team who had reached level four. After killing the crawler zombie, he rose two levels directly, becoming the strongest in the team! He no longer had to rely on anyone's opinions and would become the strongest psychic in the entire community... no, perhaps even the entire city!

What kind of mutant monster? What a shitty apocalypse! It's easy to fix!

The system has also unlocked new features for me. Without a doubt, I'm the chosen one! Hahahahaha...

Liu Ming, who had been promoted twice in a row, immediately became proud. His arrogant laughter was deafening, and his appearance was extremely haughty.

The property management and the students all showed expressions of reluctance when they saw him like this, and they felt deep contempt for Liu Ming's behavior of only striking the final blow.

And Liu Ming's former employees? They were now surrounding him, fawning over him, each with fawning smiles. One of them was even a girl from his former student team.

"Thanks to our Brother Liu's courage and strategy, we were able to successfully kill the zombies!"

"Brother Liu is so amazing, so manly! I love him so much! There's nothing to fear when I follow Brother Liu!" From now on, you'll be our big brother! You're worthy of being the captain! The entire community will have to listen to you!

"Hahahahaha-"

Liu Ming was very pleased with the flattery of the women and his subordinates. His exaggerated laughter was so loud it made people's skin crawl, making others very uncomfortable.

However, just as Liu Ming and his men were most excited, a modified car slowly drove into view and stopped right next to the zombie's body, causing the laughter to abruptly stop.

"Duan Heng! It's your fault for wasting time! Look, someone else got there first! Trash, what trash!"

"If you keep arguing, I'll kiss you. Think about it."

"Ugh! Who are you threatening, asshole?"

"No! Can't I stop talking? Don't come over!"

 The faint sound of a man and a woman talking in the car sounded like flirting. The members of the mutual aid team watched the scene in confusion.

Then, the car window slowly rolled down, revealing Duan Heng's stern profile. Beside him sat Bai Ling, her face flushed, sitting obediently. Duan Heng calmly looked at the corpse on the ground, his eyes void of emotion, seemingly deep in thought.

Crawler (Growth Stage): An evolved form of the common zombie, just one step away from maturity. It possesses astonishing speed and immense strength; its claws are capable of breaking steel bars.

Combat Power: 15-25

Intelligence: 1

"Skills: None!"

"Attributes: None."

The sound of the search function echoed in my mind. It turned out that Duan Heng was checking the characteristics of the corpse on the ground.

But before Duan Heng could finish his inspection, Liu Ming, who was standing next to him, approached with an inexplicably lascivious smile. He placed his hands on the roof of the car, squatted down, and looked at Duan Heng and Bai Ling with malicious intent, his eyes full of greed.

"Little brother, are you also here to kill zombies? Your car has been modified quite quickly. It's a pity you have nothing to do here." I've already acquired all the experience."

After saying that, Liu Ming also glanced at Bai Ling a few times, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, looking proud and sexy, as if he was showing the two of them how powerful he was.

But when he saw Bai Ling's appearance, he couldn't help but reveal a look of extreme horror and was completely stunned: how could such a beautiful woman exist in this world?

Bai Ling squirmed uncomfortably after feeling that gaze, then silently raised her right hand and gave Liu Ming the middle finger.

However, Duan Heng was very calm. He simply smiled calmly, turned around, and replied to Liu Ming:

Mutant zombies are very dangerous creatures. You must treat them with caution. You're celebrating so loudly after killing just one. I'm afraid you're in danger.

"Danger?"

Hearing this, Liu Ming's smile became even more arrogant, and his words began to be filled with threats:

The I'm sorry, it might seem dangerous to you, but I'm already at level six. Even if two more come, I'm not afraid! I've made it clear: this neighborhood will be under Liu Ming's protection from now on! Everyone must listen to me, and you two are no exception, understand!

Brother Liu is so strong!

"As expected of Brother Liu!"

As Liu Ming's arrogant words resounded through the community, a chorus of resounding voices suddenly resounded in the surroundings.

Soon, others noticed Duan Heng's appearance and said in surprise:

"Wait? That guy is Duan Heng! The one who ate lamb chops this morning!"

"What? That selfish guy?"

The two students' involuntary shouts were clearly heard by the others, and in an instant, everyone pointed their fingers at Duan Heng:

"Yes, it's him! We helped him clean up the zombies yesterday, but he didn't even thank us!"

Could it be that this guy has never killed a zombie? (Surely she's still at level one!

What a loser! How unlucky his wife is to be with him! She's not as good as my brother Liu... We don't need such a despicable man like you here! Get out of here!)

A group of people chattered and cursed nonstop. In the end, the female student even took Liu Ming's arm and cursed Duan Heng with flattery and contempt on her face.

But the funny thing is that Liu Ming felt no affection for the female student's proactive attentions and instead rejected her outright.

After all, Bai Ling in front of him was a dazzling beauty! Other women would undoubtedly pale in comparison. Liu Ming had already decided, after seeing Bai Ling's appearance, that he would do whatever it took to obtain her, even if it meant possessing her by force!

Only those who possess both power and beauty can be called the strongest man of the end times, and Liu Ming believes he deserves the title! 

I heard you have a lot of supplies hidden at home?

Liu Ming, who had figured everything out, leaned over and stared at Duan Heng, smiling mischievously in an extremely cold tone:

Don't worry, you're also a member of the community. I'll take good care of you and your girlfriend. I'll visit you another day, so you should be mentally prepared, hehe...

"Well, I'll wait and see."

Faced with the obvious threat, Duan Heng simply responded calmly, making Liu Ming think it was a waste.

However, just as Liu Ming was considering whether to go to Duan Heng's villa tonight to kill him and take Bai Ling by force...

Duan Heng, who was smiling, suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and added,

"But before that, I think I should remind you."

"Eh?"

Liu Ming was slightly stunned when he heard this and looked at Duan Heng with some confusion.

However, Duan Heng simply pursed his lips and smiled gently,

"The zombie you killed doesn't look like the one posted in the group."

"???"

After saying that, Duan Heng's eyes immediately turned cold, and he quickly closed the car window.

On the distant stairs, two blood-red zombies on the roof were rapidly climbing down the wall; Compared to the crawler that was growing a moment ago, these two were faster and larger.

It turns out the zombies' roars just then weren't angry, but simply calling out to their companions!
