Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 136: Great Teamwork
In immediate response, the Superhumans retreated. Hubert then erected a metal wall behind Lancelot's mesh to prevent it from stretching too thin. Lava and electric orbs were thus held at bay. Hubert exchanged a glance with Lancelot:"Good teamwork!""We do have a connection, don’t we... ha ha…"This conversation stung Domi, who twitched a wry smile. He too wanted to coordinate with Hubert but had instead been shackled to the inept Phelan, whose creativity was severely lacking. The frustration was unbearable.Yet both Hubert and Lancelot understood the true import of their words. A life-bond allowed them a heightened level of synergy, a mutual understanding that ran deep.The thwarted fireball infuriated the zombie leader, but it also created an area where the lava had cooled, no longer a scalding or burning threat. The zombie leader growled orders for its underlings to attack.Facing over fifteen Level 5 quota peak zombies, Hubert called for a strategic retreat:"Fall back, prepare fo
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 137: Wave Of Battles
Their eyes shifted toward Jacob, who remained stoically indifferent, not sparing them even a cursory glance. In less than twenty seconds, nearly ten zombies were incinerated, leaving not even a speck of ash."It's like they've vanished into thin air."Hubert stood frozen, awestruck by the sheer force of Jacob's newfound power. It was a boon, but also a potential detriment. Jacob had jumped from a level 5 high quota to a level 6 low quota, leveling up two tiers at once. Could he sustain this expenditure of energy?Now only the alpha zombie and its four minions remained. Seemingly contemplating flight, the alpha zombie hesitated; its entire squad had been annihilated in a single move. To claim it felt no fear would be an outright lie. It seemed torn between attacking and retreating. Hubert sensed its dread. While not as sophisticated as Raymond or Clunky, this zombie's intelligence was not to be underestimated. It was quick to assess perilous situations and to react accordingly.Its ras
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 138: Love Always Ruthless
"Damn it! That bastard Canis nearly cost me an arm!" Gideon was the first to express his indignation after being healed. Though his words were laced with venom, they were devoid of genuine malice. This was a common form of teammate banter, and he continued: "If you weren't knocked out, I'd have beaten you senseless!"His fury mounting, Gideon was interrupted by Caradoc's soft cough. He immediately turned his attention to the younger man: "How are you holding up? Feeling better?""The pain's gone, thankfully. Good thing I leveled up to 6, otherwise...""Once he wakes up, he's going to get an earful from me!""Count on it!""Absolutely!"The emotional exchange between Gideon and Caradoc cast Enda into a somber mood as he stood at a distance. He glanced at Allan, who paid him no mind. Enda's hands tightened into fists, as if willing his blood to boil.Hubert, having helped Nicholas to his feet, moved on to assist Jacob, clapping him on the shoulder: "Feeling better?""Much. You've expend
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 139: Those Who Seek Death
Though he spoke such words, Lancelot proceeded to funnel his energy into the Energy Stone. Hubert knew his friend was half-jesting, using humor to assuage his own fears. He gripped Lancelot's shoulder once more and reiterated: "You possess the reservoir for three different Superpower systems within you. I'm currently storing a significant amount of energy for you as well. You are more than capable of leveling up. Don't let me down.""I... I understand."Lancelot hesitated and turned away. Despite having resolved to deepen his relationship with Canis, Hubert's allure shook the softer recesses of his heart. 'How can he be so irresistibly captivating?' Lancelot pondered, unable to fully withdraw his affection.He had experienced countless one-night stands, but Hubert was a unique intoxicant. Like fine wine, the more he had, the more entranced he became—impossible to forsake. Now, he understood why so many would willingly die for Hubert.Jacob, Winston, himself, Dominic Henry, and lastly,
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 140: Splitting Into Actions
Gideon nodded, signaling his understanding before joking: "So we should just use him as a human shield in every battle, very convenient.""How despicable! To think you'd betray a teammate like that!""Flattery will get you nowhere!""You're shameless!"Hubert pursed his lips, his thoughts drifting to Canis. Would he willingly become the frontline of every battle, just as Gideon suggested? After all, Canis was purely a supportive Superhuman; he couldn't simply morph into a defensive one.Defensive Superhumans used their superpowers to counter blows, whereas Canis had to physically absorb the impact. The two scenarios were fundamentally different. If, by unfortunate chance, he was depleted of energy and directly hit, it would be akin to losing half his life. Wasn't that equally dangerous?The more Hubert thought about it, the more his flesh crawled. Although Canis wasn't his biological brother, they had been brothers in arms for twenty years. Hubert couldn't bear to watch him march towa
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 141: Infected With Dark Energy
For a moment, Canis found it difficult to believe what he was hearing. Although he had suspected as much, Hubert's revelation surpassed his wildest comprehension. He inquired again:"You can manipulate others?""Indeed, I can manipulate others.""You're not joking with me, are you?"A twisted smile began to form on Canis's lips. He had never imagined that he, too, could control other people's Superpowers. This exceeded any predictions he had made. Hubert then escalated his revelations, breaching even further the boundaries of Canis's understanding:"My control is expansive. I can control multiple people at the same time and harness multiple Superpowers simultaneously.""Impossible!"Stunned, Canis stood frozen. He had perused countless ancient tomes, yet this was the first time he'd come across the concept of 'expansive control,' especially over someone else's Superpowers!He felt as if he were confined in an inescapable prison, fearing that any struggle might inadvertently injure oth
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 142: Everything Becomes Challenging
Hubert's chest heaved with inexplicable dread. Though heartless—quite literally—he felt an unyielding tightness there. The prospect of fighting Raymond tore at him like nothing else; the thought that Raymond might not even recognize him deepened the cut. But if Raymond did recognize him, would he arrive before Raymond's act of self-annihilation?Either scenario was equally heart-wrenching!Now Hubert's party began to mobilize, journeying toward the epicenter where the meteorite had landed. An unseen pressure intensified with each step they took. Their only viable option was to forge ahead, for in moving forward lay their only glimpse at the light of life. Staying put to await a zombie assault would leave them facing stronger foes.Their sole course was to infiltrate zombie territory, eliminate them, and harvest their Energy Stones to augment their powers."We've barely covered some ground and already we're encountering so many zombies; God knows what other kinds of zombies await us fu
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 143: Ready To Fight Spirit
Enda's orb of lightning, hovering above his head, swelled with each passing second, forcing the wind and fire Superhumans to retreat. Nathan then chimed in: "You can't leave me out of this." His molten lava immediately engulfed the terrain beneath their feet. Before they could utter a word, a nearby car spontaneously combusted, engulfed in white flames within seconds—Jacob's fiery doing. The two Superhumans felt a chill run down their spines and loosened their clenched fists."Let's talk this out. What if someone gets injured?" one of them stuttered."It was you who initiated the challenge." Nathan responded, albeit retracting his lava.The wind-element Superhuman locked eyes with Hubert, not missing an opportunity for derision: "Having good looks really makes life easier, doesn't it? You have a whole entourage willing to die for you.""Jealous because you can't seduce anyone with your looks?" Hubert jabbed back."Don't make me laugh!"The wind-element Superhuman turned away, scorn st

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
