"Hubert! Let's get off. What's been bothering you?"Suddenly a voice resounded next to his ear, jerking Hubert out of his meditative state. Winston had somehow moved beside him, and the helicopter had landed. Compared to the main one, this contingency meeting point was slightly smaller but fortified with sturdy barriers, standing approximately five meters tall. Even if zombies sprouted wings, it would be tough for them to infiltrate. Hubert glanced at Winston's concerned questioning and shook his head, responding:"It's nothing. Just thinking about my elder brother during the break.""Theodore wouldn't be pleased if he knew you were so disheartened. All things will pass."Hubert gave a dutiful nod, taking the lead to disembark. As he stepped out of the helicopter, he caught Jacob wearing a displeased expression. The man kept alternating his gaze between Hubert and Winston but didn't utter a word. Hubert also maintained a stoic silence.Upon entering the settlement, Hubert realized th

Not only ordinary people but also those with extraordinary abilities began to grumble. At that moment, Gideon arrived from a distance. Despite his small stature, his presence silenced the crowd as if they were terrified. Having overheard a few sentences, Gideon didn't bother with rhetorical questions. Still, he made a straightforward statement: "An apocalypse has occurred, and it's the army's responsibility to evacuate you to a safe refuge. But if zombies attack, everyone will think of themselves first. No one will have the spare capacity to protect you. As I said earlier, you must fend for yourself, protect yourself." After that, Canis started to speak, mainly trying to appease the crowd. Gideon was not known for his patience. If he continued speaking, he might draw his gun and shoot, so Canis had no choice but to appease the crowd."I understand that the sudden arrival of the apocalypse has left everyone feeling uncertain, especially those who lack special abilities. Gideon's wor

Hubert waved back while sprinting towards Canis, spotting Gideon puffing on a cigarette in the background. This man was perpetually puffing smoke; had Hubert known about this level of addiction, he would've suggested to his father not to store tobacco in the warehouse."It seems they've all relocated. Our trip here might've been in vain."Canis exhaled deeply; based on his calculations, there should have been a few lingering zombie here. The forest would have its share of zombie wildlife, and they were expected to move in groups. His assumption was based on careful consideration and not mere fancy; it was miserable if they returned empty-handed."I don't think it's all for naught."Even Hubert found his own words mystifying. He couldn't pinpoint why, but a prickling sensation enveloped him. His spine chilled to the bone as if something was approaching that filled him with such dread."What do you mean?""I don't know, but I sense something's coming our way."Hubert tried to focus, the

By now, the fifth-rank zombie had come within thirty meters of Lancelot's troop. It paused, surveying them before locking eyes with the figure in the center.This extraordinary zombie, its intellect advanced beyond all norms, managed to pinpoint Lancelot's leadership position within a blink of an eye. At its disposal, the crystallized energy of the wolf, held within its hands. With a simple squeeze, the crystal disintegrated to dust, absorbed within seconds, its palm generating a sphere of lightning.Hubert had seen Enda and Rowan unleash their electrokinetic abilities, but never with such formidable intensity. The sphere, charged with ever-mounting energy, seemed capable of summoning storms.In an instant, the sky overhead was engulfed by roiling black clouds, obscuring everything. Darkness reigned, interrupted only by the eerie white-purple glow of the charged sphere. Just as the zombie prepared to launch its electric onslaught, another creature from behind snatched the globe as if

This was the truth from Hubert. He didn't understand why, but he wasn't scared of Theodore. Theodore, however, was acting like a scared puppy, constantly worried that Hubert would ridicule him. Could it be because he still read his past confession for Hubert? Theodore then retorted:"You're lying. I saw you deep in thought."Theodore used a face that was serious yet terrifying to act cute. This was indeed something that made Hubert ponder. Knowing that words would not suffice, Hubert took Theodore's hand. He blinked at him:"You must believe me! I'm your younger brother, after all!"Yet Theodore swiftly retracted his hand and slipped past Hubert, striding ahead."Quit your fanciful thoughts and hasten your pace.""I'm not daydreaming at all!""Stop talking nonsense.""Big brother! Wait for me!"Hubert pursued Theodore, leaping onto his back and wrapping his arms around his neck like a small child. As a youngster, he'd longed for a piggyback ride like other siblings enjoyed, but Theodo
