Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 74: Looming Danger
"Where are Aidan and Lancelot? And... where exactly am I?"It was only now that Hubert took in his surroundings. He found himself sprawled on a lavish, expansive bed in an opulent chamber. Canis replied: "This is the Anthony family's base.""So it is."No wonder it felt so luxurious. But Hubert bit his tongue, restraining any comments. Canis continued: "Aidan is in another room, while Lancelot... he's in the infirmary, awaiting his end.""End? Who's dying?"Disbelief gripped Hubert. The idea of Lancelot facing death was preposterous. Should Lancelot dare to perish, Hubert swore he'd drag him back from the abyss. Although once an adversary, Lancelot's essence was too valuable for Hubert to wish him gone."Take me to Lancelot. I can save him.""Truly?"Canis's eyes lit up with hope as he assisted the weakened Hubert. As Theodore's aftereffects lingered, Hubert felt as though every tendon and bone threatened to snap. The audacious Theodore had taken liberties, overpowering and "using" Hu

Now, within the confines of the chamber stood Nathan and Phelan, the former seated and the latter staggering after the unexpected push. As Phelan steadied himself, his gaze met Nathan's."What was that for?""Just let him be.""Don't you wish for the rapid restoration of your Energy Stone? So you won't have to rely on me anymore?"Yet Nathan held his tongue, drowning in a silence that stretched until Phelan's patience wore thin."Something's been off with you these past days. What's going on?"Realization struck Phelan like lightning, Nathan seemed distant, void of the warmth once shared. Phelan's voice was laden with emotion: "Lately, you've been avoiding me, even simple gestures like holding hands or a kiss. And now, even the restoration of the Energy Stone. Nathan, are you punishing me? Because I failed to protect you?""What lunacy are you speaking of?"For the first time, Nathan broke his silence. While not entirely certain of his own feelings, he knew he needed clarity. He under
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 76: Lancelot Loses Memory!
Engulfed in remorse, Hubert resolved to push these thoughts aside. He tapped Canis's shoulder, attempting to rouse him: "Canis, Canis!" But fatigue had claimed Canis, and Hubert understood. The final healing, one that would awaken Lancelot's consciousness, was imminent, and Hubert could manage without Canis.Hubert approached Lancelot, summoning his Superpower. This time, he not only tapped into the water element but also invoked additional energy to revitalize Lancelot's psyche. This meticulous process of energy transfer and manipulation was indeed a challenge. Yet, Hubert’s prowess, now superior to Lancelot's, enabled him to control the flow with precision.Moreover, Hubert had recently discovered another facet to his powers: the psychic element. This newfound capability allowed him to comprehend the utterances of Baron Derby and the gleeful zombies that had once encountered him. Earlier, his limited energy reservoir had veiled this Superpower, but as it expanded, so did his abiliti
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 77: Energy Expansion!
Indeed, though bereft of his memory, Lancelot still held no initial impression of him. His allure paled in comparison to Hubert, his wit, likewise. He felt the biting sting of envy but would never voice such sentiments. To secretly cherish feelings for Lancelot was a heart's willing endeavor. Whether those affections were reciprocated mattered little. As long as his younger brother, Hubert, was content - especially if Lancelot's presence brought that joy - he'd nurture such happiness. Canis placed a gentle hand on Hubert's shoulder. "Rest, Hubert. I'll check on Aidan and see if Nathan and Phelan have returned." "Be cautious." came the gentle warning. Knowing he couldn't keep Canis, Hubert simply nodded. Seeing the lingering, reluctant look on his face as he glanced towards Lancelot was a knife to Hubert's heart. Once Canis departed, Hubert sank heavily onto the bed. His posture was far from one of exhaustion. Lancelot, keen-eyed, inquired: "Are you feigning fatigue to distance yo
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 78: Exchanging Life Energy.
Now, Hubert has ascended to the stature of a Superhuman Level 5. Whether it be the Space Superpower or any other domain, his abilities are unparalleled. Yet, his body harbors an energy so vast that when he harnesses his Superpower, he requires the assistance of another Superhuman, one with an energy reservoir as vast as Gideon's. Without such support, there's a real danger of an energy deficit leading to a catastrophic blockade. The four men, who previously were in fierce combat against Phelan, Nathan, and Canis, now seemed like mere puppies trapped in a cage. They floundered in their confined space, as if blindfolded. The sheer panic evident on their faces brought a chuckle to Hubert's lips. However, the pressing matter at hand wasn't disciplining those men. Hubert had a graver concern – the life-threatening peril faced by Lancelot. With urgency, he grasped Canis by the wrist and pulled him away, but not before addressing Phelan: "Quickly, return! Lancelot is in peril. Phelan, I ne
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 79: Automatic SOS.
Suddenly, darkness engulfed Hubert's vision. He activated his special vision to scrutinize his surroundings, but was met with nothing but the shroud of darkness everywhere. It felt as though he was no longer in Lancelot's chamber."You're still here, it's just your spiritual energy that I've moved." echoed the hauntingly familiar voice of Theodore. Hubert's instincts had not betrayed him. Who else but Theodore could manipulate him like this, especially when no other Superhuman was powerful enough?"What game are you playing at?""By moving your spiritual energy, I've spared you from further pain. Once the life link ritual is complete, I'll return you. Is that not acceptable, Hubert?"Before Hubert could utter a word, he felt a sudden embrace from behind. How could this spiritual energy bridge the vast distance between them, bringing them face to face?"How are you able to conjure this meeting?""It's the interplay of space and spiritual energy. I've imparted energy to you, creating a
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 80: Energy Link Severed
Nathan's immediate agreement surprised Phelan. But if Nathan was on board with recreating the Energy Stone, Phelan wouldn't dare question him further. Relieved, he recalled the prior disputes over the same topic, which had infuriated Nathan. He now understood the importance of deferring to Nathan's judgment.In a moment of thoughtful consideration, Hubert moved the chair so that Nathan might recline comfortably. At this instant, Hubert initiated his Superpower, his fingers delicately touching Lancelot and simultaneously reaching Nathan. He acted like a bridge, allowing the duo to connect and commence the rebirth of the Energy Stone. For Phelan, he remained intertwined with Nathan, awaiting the stone's complete reconstruction before he could sever the life-binding pact.The process of reinvigorating the Energy Stone was far from painful for anyone. However, it demanded patience, stretching at least two painstaking hours. During its restoration, interruptions were forbidden; else, they
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 81: Under Attack
Judging from the energy radiating from the rogues, Canis assessed that their ranks weren't particularly high. At best, they were around a level 4 quota high. There weren't many Superhumans of level four; most seemed to be of level three. With Nathan and Phelan's help and his own enhanced capabilities, they could likely fend off a significant number of Superhumans at once. So, Canis needed to prolong the conversation, clueless as to when the Energy Stone's regeneration would be complete. He posed another question:"If Lancelot has lost his memory, do you still need him?""We do. As long as he's alive, whether he's unconscious or not doesn't matter."In the ethereal realm of intrigue, Canis became increasingly convinced of his intuition. It seemed Jacob had his eyes set on the Energy Stone and Lancelot's power reservoir, rather than exploiting him or targeting his life. As these thoughts brewed, a shiver of dread and trepidation overcame Canis. He feared that if anything befell Lancelot

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
