William finally arrived at the hunter organization after about an hour since leaving the insane woman. On his way here, he was able to rescue some children and find a safe place for them to stay. The children were terrified, clinging to him as their only source of comfort and safety in this chaotic world. He made sure they were placed with caretakers who promised to protect them until things calmed down.The journey he took here was the most painful and chaotic he has ever experienced in his life. He saw countless people dying in horrible ways, some running from death while others seemed to embrace it as an escape from the madness. And then there were the zombies, already dead but still moving, trying to add more to their ranks. Every street he walked down was filled with scenes of terror and despair, with screams echoing through the air.William noticed that everyone, no matter the cause of their death, would turn into zombies after a few hours. This means that the gas causing the zo
"What do you mean my father is alive?" William asked with a slight frown on his face, his mind struggling to grasp the implications of Carson's words.It had been three minutes since Carson said that his father was alive. During that time, William's mind raced, trying to piece together this unexpected revelation. He felt as if he were standing on the edge of a cliff, staring into a chasm of uncertainty and confusion.It was information he could not digest easily. The shock of Carson's statement had left him feeling unsteady, like the ground beneath his feet had suddenly shifted. His father, whom he had believed dead for so long, was actually alive?He had lived his life knowing that his father died in a shipwreck. Every memory, every story told to him had confirmed this tragic event. He had grown up mourning the loss, and the absence had shaped his identity and his life. But now, Carson was telling him that his father was alive? The notion seemed impossible, like something out of a fa
"You mean my father is this strong?" William said with a confused look on his face. The image of his father as an immortal god clashed with the memories of the man he had known. The idea of his father wielding such immense power was difficult to reconcile with his childhood memories."Yes, if your father wants, with a flick of his finger, he can wipe out all the zombies from this world and return it to its peaceful era in mere seconds," Carson answered. He was proud to talk about the power of the person he worked for. The respect and admiration he had for William's father were evident in his voice."So you mean he can end this apocalypse with no stress on his side?" William's disbelief was mingled with a glimmer of hope. The idea that his father could bring an end to their suffering was almost too good to be true. The apocalypse had brought so much pain and loss, and the thought of it ending filled him with cautious optimism."Yes.""Then why isn't he doing it? Aren't gods supposed to
It had been exactly two days since the apocalypse began. At the moment, William could be seen sitting in a lotus position inside the special cultivation chamber within the hunter organization building. This chamber was more than just a room; it was a sanctuary designed specifically for advanced training. His eyes were closed, and his body appeared to be in a refined and calm state as a powerful aura emanated from him. The aura pulsed rhythmically, like a heartbeat, matching the intense focus and power that William was harnessing within himself. The chamber's glow seemed to sync with his breathing, brightening with each inhale and dimming with each exhale, creating a mesmerizing dance of light and shadow around him.William's eyes suddenly opened, now filled with an unexplainable power. They seemed to glow with an inner light, a testament to the progress he had made through his relentless cultivation. His gaze was sharp and clear, reflecting the transformation that had occurred within
"Argh!" William finally let out a scream, unable to hold back any longer. The sound echoed through the chamber, a testament to the sheer agony he was enduring. [Critical point reached. Hold on, William.]He remembered the faces of Carson and his wife, the promise he made to himself, and the image of his father. These thoughts fueled his determination, giving him the strength to push through. He focused on his breathing, forcing himself to remain conscious and endure the pain. Each breath was a battle, each heartbeat a victory against the encroaching darkness.Minutes felt like hours as the agony persisted, but gradually, he began to feel a change. The intense heat started to subside, replaced by a cool, soothing sensation. His muscles, bones, and nerves were no longer being torn apart; instead, they were being fortified, becoming stronger than ever. The relief was almost as overwhelming as the pain had been, a wave of calm washing over his tortured body.[Breakthrough complete. Congr
"Do you really mean Ziros Nation of all places?" Mark Grayson asked with a slight frown on his face. The very mention of Ziros Nation seemed to send a shiver down his spine. He had heard tales of that place, dark and terrifying stories that made it seem like a land straight out of a nightmare and they are proofs of how dangerous it is everywhere across the world making that place the scarriest.Carson nodded in response, his face grim. He knew what he was asking of his team, and he didn't make the suggestion lightly. "Yes, Ziros Nation. There's no other way,""What! Then this is a bad idea. We can't go there. If we go there, it would be akin to doubling our problems. That place is a nightmare!" Mark Grayson said, raising his voice slightly. He looked around at his fellow hunters, hoping to see agreement in their faces."I agree. We really can't go to that place. After all, even Rank 5 elites have been lost to that place. We don't even know if they died or got taken away by gods know
Mark Grayson gazed at his colleagues as they made their decisions. His mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. He understood the risks and the stakes involved, but the fear of the unknown held him back.He had a slight frown on his face. The weight of leadership was heavy, and he knew that his decision would impact everyone in the room. He didn't want to lead his team into a situation where they might not return, but he also couldn't ignore the severity of their current predicament.Everyone in the room was looking at him, waiting for his answer, as he was their leader and his words mattered a lot. The silence stretched on, the tension almost visible.After a few seconds of hesitation, he finally made up his mind. He took a deep breath and stood up, looking each of his team members in the eye."Fine then, I will place a call across to all nearby branches and inform their hunters to prepare themselves. I will also phone the general of Astoria Air Force to lend us all available a
William arrived at the Storm family’s vicinity after running at a blinding speed for 10 minutes. His feet barely touched the ground as he raced forward, driven by urgency. He knew he had to get there as quickly as possible. The world outside was too dangerous, and every second counted.He now stood before the grand structure of the Storm family mansion. The massive black gate loomed before him, locked and unyielding. The area around him was eerily quiet. Not a single guard or maid was in sight, making the place seem almost abandoned. This silence was unsettling, unlike anything William had seen before. But he understood the reason. The fear of what lurked outside had driven everyone indoors.William reached for the electric bell and rang it. The sharp sound echoed through the still air, almost startling in its suddenness. He knew that this was one of the few devices still working, powered by the mansion’s backup energy supply. As he waited, his mind raced with thoughts of what might b
