Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 115: Embarking Towards Danger
Hubert chuckled, nodding in agreement. However, his mirth was short-lived as he caught Dominic Henry's piercing gaze fixated on both him and Winston. While Hubert didn't fear him per se, he wanted to avoid any unnecessary troubles for Winston. Dominic's glare suggested that he could, at any moment, choke the life out of the man beside him. Not just Winston; anyone close enough seemed to be in Dominic’s crosshairs. With Dominic's capabilities, he could easily engage multiple adversaries at once. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say a Superhuman level 6 like him could take on ten Superhuman level 5s at their peak. Such a stark disparity was utterly chilling.The tense atmosphere was suddenly shattered by Gideon's voice: "Allan, when will you release Enda from your hypnotic grip? Do you find pleasure in turning someone into a mere puppet? Does being with a puppet satisfy you?""I've said it before. I'll release her, but not now." Allan retorted.Caradoc sneered: "It's pitiful, really. U
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 116: The Changing Moon
"A..."Merely entertaining these thoughts sent searing waves of pain through Hubert's mind. He'd borne witness to such a cataclysm once before. It was he who had dismantled the vast intellect of Raymond, extracting that very orb of power from him. As Raymond's lifeblood ceased its flow, so did the apocalypse. Such cataclysms, historically spaced millions, perhaps tens of thousands of years apart, had now returned after only two millennia. This accelerated pace was deeply unsettling, disturbing Hubert's already fragile state. How could he possibly forestall another?The vaccine from yesteryears, two millennia old, had lost its efficacy. What drove this current apocalypse? What could stymie this rapid petrification? He couldn't bear to harm Raymond again. Raymond, now sentient, possessing the awareness akin to humans, to end him would be the very epitome of cruelty. Especially since love flowed bidirectionally between them."Hubert, are you well?"Witnessing Hubert cradling his head in
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 117: Attacking The Moon
But Hubert stared unblinkingly, for that moon was merely an illusion, or more precisely, a reflection of the first. Concealed within was the youthful visage of Raymond, mirroring precisely the form Hubert had seen in that living realm Raymond had once shown him. From Raymond’s form, strands of energy emanated, gradually retracting. Hubert was now certain; Phelan had been wrong yet again. Those red tendrils were not signs of draining energy but...The energy eye would accumulate Superpower energy over thirty days, after which Raymond would absorb it. This explained the rapid and mighty augmentation in his powers. Despite having transferred energy to Hubert twice, Raymond's strength seemed inexhaustible. Could this boost him directly to a level 6 quota peak? The more Hubert contemplated, the more he shuddered, ultimately collapsing under the weight of what he had witnessed."Heaving... gasping..."Fear throttled his breaths. He was leagues away from the seventh level, and everything was
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 118: Attacking The Moon (2)
Canis nodded, signaling he was ready. Hubert then marshaled all his power, aiming squarely at the core of the second moon and unleashed it. The release of such raw energy illuminated a swath of the cosmos.On the ground, bystanders stared upwards, seeing a brilliant streak bisect the sky, targeting the second moon."Hubert truly is audacious. Is he genuinely attacking the moon?""What he targets isn’t the moon, I suspect..."Phelan remarked, squinting discerningly. His judgments had always been spot on. As a psychic Superhuman, his perception exceeded anyone else present. His heightened sensitivity to cosmic shifts was perhaps because his psychic energy was so potent.Just as Hubert's energy reached the vicinity of the second moon, Domi also harnessed his energy for the assault. The "energy eye" that was engulfing the sun now pivoted, seemingly wanting to counter-attack. But Raymond's absorption process was ongoing, leaving it to simply defend.Hubert’s aggressive attack, without fear
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 119: Unfounded Speculations
It was unspoken knowledge that the ever-present zombie tailing Raymond was none other than Clunky. While there existed countless elite zombies, few instilled terror like him. On that pinnacle stood only one above him - Raymond."We initially heeded young master Hubert, journeying to the meteorite's crash site. But in truth, we're bound to battle. That rallying point isn't our sanctuary. Being a Superhuman means never fleeing. Amongst billions, we were chosen. Thus, fear is a luxury we cannot afford.""You speak truth. Today, you seem out of your element, but your words resonate with veracity."Unbeknownst to himself, Hubert had returned to a state of equilibrium. All the while, he had been attentively listening to the conversations between Jacob and Phelan. Although Phelan's utterances now bore a peculiar inflection compared to his past demeanor, his core disposition remained unchanged. He had merely become more contemplative than before. Phelan ventured to say,"I've just leveled up,
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 120: Is Energy Inherited?
Hubert's words flowed effortlessly, each sentence heavily imbued with foreboding. This apocalypse seemed even more ruthless than the one two millennia prior, primarily because Raymond, now sentient, was amassing power at an alarming rate, putting even the Superhumans on edge. In his arsenal was Clunky, the second most potent zombie right after Raymond. Hubert's concern echoed the uncertainty: if Raymond perished, would Clunky inherit his power? If so, the Superhumans might not muster the strength for another confrontation.Yet, those were the thoughts of other Superhumans. Hubert himself harbored an unyielding hope of severing Raymond from the pernicious eye of energy. He was compelled to liberate him from the dreadful cycles of apocalyptic rebirths, each predestined to spell the annihilation of humanity. His single mission was to save Raymond and, in doing so, save the world. Failing in this quest would make him unworthy of his Level Seven Superhuman status. If he couldn't, then he c
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 121: Challenging A Superhuman Level 6
Dust and debris clouded the scene, and an explosion from a jammed vehicle up ahead produced billowing smoke, making visibility nearly impossible. Only Hubert, with his special sight, could discern every detail without missing a beat. Chasing the zombies were two Superhumans, their power levels vastly superior. Among them was one with metal-based abilities, while the other seemed to amplify the former's powers. The strength of the latter's skill made the metal Superhuman's attacks considerably more potent.With a swift motion, the metal Superhuman raised his hand towards the sky. In an instant, a metallic net, reminiscent of Lancelot's, enveloped the two zombies. Capturing them effortlessly, he then channeled his Superpower, transforming his hand into a colossal metal appendage.With a hand sharper than any weapon Hubert had ever seen, he effortlessly crushed the skull of a zombie, leaving only its Energy Stone intact. Hubert held the stone to his nose for a sniff, an action that promp
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 122: Enda Loses Energy
"Of course. But I'm not assisting you out of the goodness of my heart; I'm using you for my own objectives."Hubert's reply to Gideon was clear in revealing his intentions. However, Gideon wasn't one to fret about such nuances. He retorted,"When you saved Enda and me in the past, I willingly let you exploit me. I know our ultimate goals differ, but we do share at least one common objective. So, young master Hubert, I'm counting on you."Gideon gave Hubert another friendly slap on the back. Hubert smirked and quipped,"Heh... You're still the same old scoundrel, aren't you?"His playful, mocking tone only piqued Zachary's curiosity further. In this devastated world, it wasn't uncommon for lower-tier Superhumans to cling to those of higher tiers. But to be reciprocated or even assisted in obtaining an Energy Stone by a high-tier was something he'd never seen before. In the past, when he was of a lower rank, he'd always been oppressed by stronger Superhumans. If he didn't submit to thei

Chapter 157: Opening Part II
But what they hadn't anticipated was the very moment Hubert fell into a state of energy seclusion, disturbances began to ripple outside.The squadron led by Wayne and the wind-aspected Superhuman began to inch their way towards where Hubert sat. Now, with the absorption of the Energy Stone, no protective energy sphere enveloped the scene. Only a few protective mages were there to ensure the upgrade process remained uninterrupted. Everyone understood the dire consequences if the upgrade failed."What do you want?""Isn't it obvious? To abduct the subject and seize the Energy Stone. Right now, you've lost one Superhuman of level 6 quota mid, and your most potent Superhuman is mid-upgrade. How could you possibly fend us off now?""Toby, don't waste words on them. The longer we stall, the more likely Hubert will complete the absorption, leaving us at a disadvantage."Wayne urged, the wind-aspected Superhuman accompanying him was Toby, a man with pure offensive abilities. Their squadron, i
Chapter 156: Domi Sacrifices (End Part I)
He had traversed time four times. The first was to the moment he claimed Hubert from the fragments of time. He tried being more conciliatory, gentler. But he couldn't change his controlling nature, and once again, Hubert slipped away. But one couldn't stay in a timeline more than thrice, so he chose the future where Hubert had traveled. Hubert had failed in his mission to save Raymond, deciding to leap 500 years ahead, and Domi followed suit. In this era, Raymond had lost his memory and Hubert was exploiting it for a happier existence. Unwilling to witness this, Domi returned to the present with a plan to make Hubert end Raymond himself, eliminating him entirely.But the truth unveiled itself in a tale of sorrow, proving his failure, and he had indeed lost Hubert. What's more, he'd forsaken his chance of survival - a misfortune that had not befallen him during his second traverse through time. Perhaps now, Hubert was utterly beyond his grasp; his past, his future, and even the present
Chapter 155: Next Time, Please Save Me (2)
The dark energy within Hubert surged powerfully, overwhelming those around him in no time. This force clearly embodied Raymond’s essence and grew alongside him. The zombie king's energy was not to be trifled with, so Superhumans below level 6 felt dizzy, nauseous, and experienced a pressure akin to diving deep underwater."It's... hard to breathe!""What monstrous energy is this?"They all knew Hubert was a Level 6 Superhuman, but to possess such overwhelming energy was exceedingly rare. Moreover, the kind of energy that could oppress them to the point of feeling as if their lungs were being torn apart could only be that of a zombie's. It was as if they couldn't believe their own thoughts, or more precisely, they were terrified. For a Superhuman to carry zombie energy without being assimilated or controlled was extremely peculiar. And Hubert was that very anomaly!The atmosphere seemed to have stagnated, suffocating not just the Superhumans but Hubert himself. That dark force seemed t
Chapter 154: Next Time, Please Save Me
"If we are to hunt Superhumans together, I must address you properly. Surely, I can't just call you 'this zombie' or 'that zombie,' can I?" But Raymond never responded. Never before had he felt so dismissed, so insulted. Yet, he persisted in his quest for Raymond's name. Until, irked by Clunky's persistence, Raymond finally said: "My surname is Raymond Joshua." "And your first name? Speak it!" "Annoying!" "What?" "I said, 'You're annoying.'" Though meant as a reprimand, Clunky responded: "I am nameless. But if you find me annoying, I shall name myself 'Clunky.' I will take your surname, and serve under you, the true zombie king. What say you?" ... Raymond never replied. Clunky initially thought Raymond would maintain that initial distance, but later, every time Raymond hunted, he would share with him any mutated Water Energy Stones he found. Clunky realized that zombies typically lacked emotional depth, yet as a high-level sentient zombie, his thoughts mirrored that of humans.
Chapter 153: A String Of Reckless Days
If reason failed, then perhaps the heart's tug might prevail. Since their encounter, Clunky had refrained from striking him, showcasing a surprising restraint. Coupled with the fact that Clunky had not lost his rationale, there was hope to sway him. Hubert implored,"Just pretend not to see us, allowing us passage to the asteroid's core. I'll do my utmost to prevent his self-destruction. You can assist with that, can't you?""Do you not comprehend the apocalypse that Raymond's existence might trigger?""I'm well aware." Hubert sighed: "but I wish to save both the world and him."Once more, Clunky lapsed into a contemplative silence. It was a long minute before he said: "Your recklessness astonishes me. Moreover, preventing his self-destruction might be inevitable. He can't explode if he loses his self-awareness. The event is imminent!"Rather than speculation, Clunky’s words felt like a forewarning. As if Raymond's loss of control was a foregone conclusion. Hubert queried,"Do you fat
Chapter 152: Desolate And Difficult
Now, had it not been for Canis with his luminous superpowers, there probably would've been no means of separating Raymond's energy. Cautiously extending his arm, he sensed a familiar energy, through which he could trace the very existence of Raymond. Even more astonishing, he felt as though he could pinpoint Raymond's exact location.Raymond wasn't at the meteorite's core, but he was undoubtedly making his way there. This revelation meant there was no need to waste time seeking him. The very thing demanding his attention now roiled and seethed right before his very eyes.The ominous black pool belonging to Clunky seemed on the verge of erupting, its turmoil growing by the second. Ever since Hubert had siphoned off Raymond's energy, Clunky's own energy began to oscillate wildly. This clearly indicated that he had detected the essence of the Zombie King lingering around.Confusion must have gripped Clunky, for Raymond's scent manifested in two distinct locations: where Raymond truly was
Chapter 151: Arrogance Often Leads To Defeat
If Clunky arrived a tad earlier, Phelan and Allan might have formed an alliance to restrain him, saving them much precious energy. Yet, if his arrival were any more belated, the ice barrier would have been wholly corroded by his sinister liquid. Hubert, gazing as the first shadow struck the ice barrier, realized that had he not been at Superhuman level 6 quota peak, that wall would have fallen long ago.Lost in contemplation, Hubert was startled by Stella’s sudden voice:"Hubert, have you forgotten about me? I am, after all, a pure Ice Superhuman.""And I am as well. Alone, your showy moves are more than enough."Lucia chimed in, her laughter tinged with a hint of mockery. Stella, with a hint of drama, channeled her Superpower, reinforcing Hubert's ice barrier. Almost as if dancing in tandem, Lucia followed suit. Thus, three magnificent ice walls, spanning over fifty meters, stood in unison, ensuring Clunky's water shadows could not break through. This feat could potentially buy them
Chapter 150: Seducing Clunky Plan
Though he'd never directly clashed with him, Caradoc knew that Clunky was no pushover. His first encounter with the zombie was when Clunky was merely a level-5, losing a fight against Lancelot. But things had changed; the zombie had gained immense strength over the months, and even Caradoc, who had never fought him, felt a sense of dread.Hubert, too, ceased arguing at this moment. He walked closer to the black "river." stopping a mere five meters away. The heat emanating from it was palpable. Compared to Nathan's or Jacob's fire, Lancelot's was less hot, but it should not be underestimated.When he was merely at level 5, he could transform a high-ranking Superhuman into a mere skeleton in the blink of an eye. Now, the magnitude of his powers is beyond anyone's comprehension.Whoosh!Hubert unleashed a chunk of metal larger than a human head, hurling it into the heart of the river. The metallic mass immediately emitted a sound akin to boiling oil, followed by effervescent bubbles befo
Chapter 149: Threatening
Winston grabbed Hubert's hand and gave it two shakes, demanding his attention. The gesture did make Hubert shift his focus. He glanced at Winston, then back at the ringleader, and finally toward the heart of S city. He spoke deliberately:"Let's put today's matter aside for now. But don't assume that anyone who seeks to hunt the zombie king will be safe."Hubert withdrew his Superpower energy, his fists clenched as though prepared to decapitate anyone at a moment's notice. The ringleader, noticing Hubert's newfound composure, let out a sigh of relief, yet dared to probe further:"Why do you protect the zombie king? His existence threatens the lives of all humanity.""Indeed..."Hubert merely nodded in agreement, signaling his understanding that Raymond's existence was a peril to humankind. Yet, he voiced no further thoughts. More than anyone else, he understood the peril that Raymond's very being brought about, the specter of death that trailed behind him. But the very thought of witn
