Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 62: Lancelot Anthony Must Return.
Immersed in thought, Hubert grew increasingly bewildered. The more he ruminated, the more he felt as if Theodore deliberately left his scent behind as a form of protection. The first time Theodore had left his scent on him was to deter the zombies near the meteorite. Subsequently, sensing Hubert in mortal peril, he had come to his rescue. Now, his scent spread across a wide radius seemed to grant Hubert peace of mind for rest, a fact disclosed too late by Baron. Theodore was too good to him, triggering Hubert's memory of a phrase Theodore uttered the first time they shared a bed: "A soldier only loves one person in his lifetime..."They were not blood brothers, so Theodore's "love" could likely be no jest. Could it mean Theodore truly loved him? Hubert found himself swirling in a chaotic mess of thoughts. After a moment, he decided not to think further, as it only gave him a headache."Ah! We should get moving!""Early to start, early to finish."Canis agreed with Hubert, commencing

And so, Lancelot returned to the base of the Anthony family while the Wang family's team returned to their assembly area. The groups of Phelan and Nathan also decided to join the Wang family and travel together. After approximately seventeen to eighteen days, the nearly hundred-strong team finally saw the Wang family's assembly area ahead. At that moment, another day-night transition occurred. Just as Gideon had warned, the Superhumans who lagged in their training would soon be devoured by the rapidly evolving zombies.Hubert returned to his room after arranging accommodation for Phelan and Nathan's team. Winston, who had just finished bathing, once again picked up a vintage book on vaccine research. Seeing Hubert return, he went to his storage and took a set of clothes and a bath towel."Go take a bath, and hand me Theodore's space box.""Do you want to study the living soil?""You could say that. With each day passing like this, we'll soon run out of food."Hubert nodded silently,
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 64: The Mysterious Identity Of Jacob Tremblay
Under the guidance of Hubert and Canis, Lancelot was led into Winston's sanctuary of study. Here, Winston had ensconced himself for five long days, with every meal brought to him by devoted servants. Upon Hubert's entrance, a visible delight illuminated Winston’s countenance. But, it faded quickly when Lancelot came into view, replaced by a shadow of displeasure. He inquired: "Why has he come here?" "He possesses uncontaminated seeds. I wish to collaborate on experiments on fertile soil and planting these seeds." Winston's furrowed brows followed Lancelot as he wandered the laboratory without another word but a mere nod of acknowledgment. Although they had worked together for three years, no moment of camaraderie had been shared. Fortunately, Winston’s regular duties kept him from too many encounters with Lancelot. Otherwise, they might have come to blows countless times. Only Theodore and Canis faced Lancelot daily, enduring his endless antics."This research chamber is truly magn

As the narrative continued, Lancelot resumed: "Master Tremblay began to display this dual persona about a month before the apocalypse. He once claimed the ability to prophesize, but now, hearing your tales, I surmise he was but a charlatan.""Is he not your master, Lancelot? To share so much, isn't that loyalty?" Canis quipped, sarcasm dripping from his words.But Lancelot's response was grave and unexpected: "I, too, wish for a world restored. I am compelled to act as zombies grow stronger, and Superhumans' progress stagnates. Had I known Master Tremblay to be the harbinger of the apocalypse, I would've resisted him. In truth, before arriving here, I already had my suspicions.""Was it about the seeds?""Yes, I found them in Master Tremblay's old residence. It's unlikely he'd know which crops would remain uncontaminated. And implanting an energy stone in me further aroused my suspicions.""Implanting an energy stone?" Hubert, well-versed in ancient Superpower scriptures, was confiden

Though two millennia old, these bullets had been meticulously stored in specialized vaults, hence were in impeccable condition. With his astute sense of choice, Lancelot picked the best rifle and ammunition. Slinging the gun over his back, he walked ahead, peering into the distance, and remarked: "Given their pace, those zombies will cover 500 meters in just a few minutes." As he spoke, he instructed Hubert: "Fetch me a gun rest. I need it for continuous firing, or my arm will get numb.""Alright."Hubert nodded, dashing a few meters away to fetch the requested item. He set up the gun rest within seconds, allowing Lancelot to aim."From this distance, how can you possibly hit them? That's easily a thousand meters away." Hubert exclaimed, skeptical. Even though the rifle was powerful, its range was limited to six hundred meters. To an average person, they could only see a dark swarm approaching. To discern what exactly was advancing required binoculars. The rifle did have a scope, b
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 67: Quest For Searching For Life-Type Superhuman
Elsewhere, as more meteorites fell, Theodore seemed to lose his sanity. Though a sliver of consciousness remained, his predatory zombie instincts took over. The energy surging within him demanded an upgrade, exacerbating his internal torment.Such was the intricate tapestry of chaos, hope, pain, and sacrifice set against a world teetering on edge.He knew Hubert was in peril, the palpable pain the boy felt was almost tangible. Yet, he could do nothing but relentlessly hunt zombies to bolster his energy. Layer upon layer, his body was fortified in such a manner, alleviating some of the internal torment. This reprieve was not of his choosing. He knew an energy connection with Hubert would always lead to dire consequences. But he never regretted their bond, for at the very least, they could share in each other's suffering."Ahh! Ahhh!"Theodore's roar echoed, sending a horde of zombies scattering. Even Clunky Joshua, the second most formidable zombie in the area, dared not approach. He k

"My brother and I will go. This is, after all, a matter of our family, and we don't wish to inconvenience many. Phelan and Nathan will come along as they, too, seek a life-type Superhuman. I'll take half of the Edwards family's squad with us. We can use a small number. We're just headed to City B, and with Lancelot's aid, a small team will suffice." Hubert appealed in a torrent of words, then turned expectantly to Lancelot. With a narrowing gaze, Lancelot assured Hubert that he would unflinchingly come to his aid even without asking. With an unwavering voice, he proclaimed: "In City B, none shall dare harm him. On my turf, I reign supreme." His haughty demeanor might irk many, but none voiced their displeasure, knowing they soon tread on his domain. It was wise to stay in his good graces, to cajole and flatter him. "Prepare two seven-seater vehicles. Once all wounds are tended, we outline in half a day." Canis promptly ordered the preparation of essentials for their quest to fin

The vehicle sank slowly."Step outside." Lancelot instructed.Upon hearing Lancelot's directive, Hubert opened the front door while others mirrored the action at the rear. Canis broke the silence: "Check the ground below. If it's sinking too much, we'll need another way.""The ground is sinking, albeit not deeply. The real concern is not knowing the extent of the pit. If we rush out recklessly, we might end up trapped." came a voice of caution.Phelan tentatively stepped on the subsiding ground, testing its stability. Despite the sinking, the ground maintained some firmness, suggesting it was still safe for traversal. Nathan nodded in agreement but voiced his concerns: "Regardless, we must venture out. With the weight of this vehicle, we'll likely be trapped inside and meet our end within an hour."Nathan's words rang true. While sinking outside presented risks, being confined within the confines of the vehicle would seal their fate."I have got an idea." Hubert announced. Swiftly,

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.

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
