Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 124: Rapid Leveling Up (2)
Suddenly, the mutated fire zombie sent Lancelot and Nathan flying a dozen meters away. They spat blood from the impact. Phelan, witnessing this, cried out:"Nathan!"This scream made Canis rush to help Lancelot up. He wiped the blood from Lancelot's lips:"Lancelot, Lancelot... Are you alright?""Just a bit sore, won't kill me."Lancelot smirked, grabbing Canis's arm to steady himself.Swoosh!Unexpectedly, in a fleeting moment, the mutated fire zombie vanished from its position. Its speed was so swift that no one could truly track it. Only Hubert, from his vantage point, could keep pace with its velocity. He wondered why it was steadily distancing itself from the Superhumans. It should be attacking them.However, immediately following that, his eyes widened in alarm as he shouted:"Enda! Watch out!""What? Enda?"Upon hearing the call, Allan whirled around with sudden urgency. Before him, he saw a flame-wielding zombie darting towards where Enda stood. The creature's hands were trans
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 125: Coordinated Combat
"Hubert! Stop running! Hubert!"Yet, Hubert pressed on. Just as the impending strike was a mere breath away from Hubert, he vanished into thin air. Confusion reigned. Why had Hubert disappeared so suddenly?"Where's Hubert?""Where did he go?"It wasn't just Canis. Jacob, Winston, and everyone else echoed the same sentiments. Only Dominic Henry, nursing his injuries, remained unfazed. He remarked:"Merely a spatial illusion. What's there to be surprised about?"Following his words materialized the gruesome image of a shadow-element zombie, impaled by hundreds of sharp-tipped chains. Before anyone could fully absorb the moment, the creature was torn asunder. Everyone knew that shadow zombies could absorb incoming energy and retaliate, but this one didn’t have the time to draw in the assault. It was over in the blink of an eye—so swift that one could hardly catch a breath.Then Hubert slowly emerged, enshrouded in a space that appeared and vanished just as swiftly. His eyes flared a dee
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 126: Need For Rapid Leveling Up
Enda's eyes clenched shut, the harrowing events from ten years ago rushing back into focus. Back then, he was an exemplary young police officer, cautious in his duties and bolstered by many who wished to aid him. A misfortune led to betrayal by his colleagues, ensnaring him in a web of drug-related crime.That year, Allan was the first to discover Enda's secret drug dealings with nefarious figures, incarcerating him and employing all means to force him into rehabilitation. But Enda's sudden disappearance raised Gideon's suspicions toward Allan. Realizing he could no longer shield such a substantial human liability, Allan crafted an elaborate scheme. He marked Enda with bruises as though he had been beaten, tore his clothes, and staged a scene of kidnapping and assault.Injecting himself with drugs to deflect suspicion from Enda, Allan professed his love the day before his arrest. Allan traded his future and career for a chance at Enda's redemption—because Enda still had family, still
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 127: Prediction
Hubert was not arrogant; he knew that ascending to Level 7 required adequate energy reserves—it wasn't an achievement bestowed without effort. He wasn't patronizing Lancelot, who knew that Hubert was merely jesting. Lancelot gripped Hubert's mouth, grinding his teeth as he retorted,"You've really changed, not like that kid who used to send me longing glances. Now you dare to belittle me?"The grip didn't hurt Hubert, but it did pout his lips, making him irresistibly adorable—a visage that once had Lancelot utterly smitten."Why shouldn't I scorn those who underestimate their own prodigious abilities?" Hubert said, punching Lancelot in the chest to make him release his grip.Their banter ceased as they felt the rising chill in the atmosphere. Domi, Jacob, Winston, and even Canis—they all glared at them like bullets, resenting their casual camaraderie."Let's get moving; the journey ahead is long." Hubert abruptly changed the subject, his eyes scanning the distant horizon. The fallen m
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 128: Unconscious Injuries
Hubert nodded, and suddenly the earth beneath his feet trembled—nay, it seemed to liquefy into a stream of rushing water, making his head spin. The ambient space also took on a murky, gloomy atmosphere, as if guiding souls toward the embrace of death. Yet, he could still resist the pull, sensing that the energy of this unknown foe was weaker than his own.But who was this person, and what in heavens did they want? He glanced around; others had grown listless, ensnared in their personal illusions or fears."Ethan!"Just then, Domi appeared, flying toward him. Considering how far he had been thrown just moments ago, his speed was astonishing. Thankfully, he too seemed free from the illusion's grasp. Domi abruptly shifted direction, followed by a sharp "thwack." Looking back, Hubert saw Domi had struck Allan, who now lay prostrate on the ground.The nebulous atmosphere immediately dissipated."What just happened?""What's going on?"The others, newly freed from their illusions, converged
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 129: The Deeper Go, The More Fearful
Domi, ever the cynic, couldn't resist voicing his mordant opinion. Although he named no one directly, all present could decipher his veiled reference:"Those ensnared by love's web are always thus. Who can truly blame them? One might sacrifice endlessly for another, only to find them entwined with a different soul. Such a realization would break any heart."Both a veiled reference to Enda and a subtle dig at Hubert. Enda wore a face darkened with anger, while Hubert remained nonchalantly provocative."Voluntary sacrifice doesn't entitle you to blame others. Feelings aren't to be distributed on a whim; one must consider if the recipient is deserving.""And what makes one undeserving? To devote oneself fully, endure immeasurable hurt, only to be dismissed as 'undeserving'?""Think what you will. I've no interest in bickering over such trivial matters anymore."Hubert waved his hand dismissively. Every time Domi brought up matters of the heart, it was as if he were stricken with madness,
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 130: Killing The Zombie King?
Hubert waved off the question and countered: "And what about you two? What compels you to penetrate this perilous place?""We've heard that the meteorite crash site harbors an immense source of energy. Harnessing it through focused cultivation would expedite our leveling up—almost doubling the usual rate." came the response.Hubert nodded without speaking, for the information was hardly a revelation to him. Surrounded by hordes of zombies, leveling up was not an insurmountable task. The youthful duo continued:"Surely you must be aware of this? Eliminating him could dismantle the entire zombie network.""Him? Who are you talking about?""Who else but the Zombie King? Slaying him is the ultimate objective, isn't it?"Hubert momentarily looked somber, poised to move toward the duo, but Canis restrained him. With a shake of his head, Canis seemed to caution him against impulsive actions.Hubert was indeed momentarily agitated. The mere thought of Raymond being killed disrupted his equili
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 131: Simultaneous Leveling Up
Jacob responded languidly as he slowly approached Hubert. A brief shudder overcame him as his eyes took in the two zombies reduced to lumps of meat scattered on the ground. Hubert's handiwork was brutal, a far cry from the gentle soul Jacob had once known. Hubert had lived through two apocalypses, trampling over countless zombies.For that reason, he felt nothing toward these grotesque heaps of flesh. But Jacob was different. It wasn't fear he felt but a growing unease. Hubert's fearlessness seemed only to amplify Jacob's own apprehensions, pushing him further away emotionally. A rift was growing between them, one that Jacob despaired of ever bridging.The realization was heartbreaking. Once, Jacob had Hubert within reach, only to deceive him, driving him farther away. Now, with Hubert hailing from two millennia ago, the emotional distance between them stretched even wider. And although Hubert said he still wanted to share sleep, Jacob knew what his actual intentions were.Now, Hubert

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
