Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 86: Worshipping The Powerful One
Hubert clenched and then opened his hand, revealing frost so thick that it blanketed his palm. With this degree of cold, toxins could easily penetrate the lungs. Not to mention, the cold could constrict one's lungs, making it nearly impossible to activate any superpower to expel the poison.Ancient texts noted that there are various toxin-bearing plants. The most basic ones would render one unconscious upon inhalation. These are found in most low-tier and common plants. However, plants cultivated by wood-element superhumans were unpredictable. Such a plant could inherit both its master's superpower and energy, while also developing its unique abilities. To counter them, one must approach with caution. Burning them was a tactic everyone must remember not to employ.Such toxin-laden plants would have poison in every crevice of their structure. When burned, the toxic substance would spread far and wide, its reach far surpassing this cold mist."There's an opening over there."Phelan's su

He paused for a brief moment, then turned his gaze towards Phelan, adding: "It aligns with what the gentleman mentioned earlier. He was not mistaken in any regard."Phelan dismissed the praise with a wave: "Too kind."Alberto refrained from further flattery, elaborating: "We are responsible for purifying and welcoming Superhumans who wish to enter. It truly astonishes me that you weren't enthralled by the mesmerizing trees. Your powers are indeed formidable."As Alberto spoke, his gaze settled on Hubert. By now, Lancelot had fainted on Hubert's shoulder, forcing Hubert to adjust his position to cradle him. It wasn't the first time Hubert had carried Lancelot. Thankfully, Hubert was not of small stature. With the advent of Superpowers, it wasn't uncommon for a Superhuman to carry another. Even a ten-year-old Superhuman child could lift Lancelot, provided they could wrap their arms around his sizable frame.Hubert responded with a soft smile, unaffected by Alberto's praise. Undeniably,
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 88: What Is An Engine?
Once more, Jacob advanced, his arms unfurling to envelop Hubert in an embrace. This time, Hubert offered no resistance. To neither decline nor reciprocate—such is the utmost form of indifference. Jacob had connived relentlessly to absorb the Wang family's assets, and now that his wish had been granted, why continue to torment him?As Jacob held him close, stealing fleeting kisses on Hubert's cheek, the latter remained passive. Jacob saw Hubert's disinterest and it gnawed at him. He had devoted so much love to Hubert, only to have it crushed underfoot by this cold-hearted aloofness. Words tinged with yearning whispered into Hubert's ear:"Hubert, I've missed you terribly."Jacob uttered an impassioned litany, yet Hubert stood unmoved, saying nothing. Not until Jacob's hands began to wander to the hem of his shirt did Hubert firmly seize his wrist, teeth grinding audibly:"Do not overstep your bounds. I have no intention of sharing a bed with you ever again. I loathe you."To say he loa
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 89: Must Find Him
Each Superhuman has an individual cultivation limit. No matter how formidable or swift in their cultivation, if their energy reservoir only allows them to reach the peak of level six quota, they will forever be constrained from advancing to level seven. High-level Light Superhumans can help other Superhumans metamorphose, altering their Superpower and even expanding their energy reservoir. However, cultivating a Light Superhuman to a high level could take years. It is therefore certain from the onset that if one’s energy reservoir is insufficient for advancing from the peak of level six to level seven, the transition is an impossibility.Even if a high-level Light Superhuman expanded one's energy reservoir, it could never stretch from the peak of level six quota to level seven. Thus, only those Superhumans with adequate energy reserves can attain level seven. Hubert came to know that he could ascend to level seven solely through Jacob, who never acted on mere speculation."No. I won't
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 90: Finding A Way To Block The Attack
"What? Family?"Alberto's shout was so piercing that Hubert had to cover his ears. Certainly, he expected Alberto to be surprised, but this dramatic? "Yes, they are my family. This base was once under our jurisdiction." Hubert said without hesitation.He didn't fear that Alberto would turn against him. After all, Jacob had instructed Alberto to bring him to meet others. Whether Alberto found out now or later was merely a matter of time. Alberto's mouth remained agape, his eyes widened as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard. He asked: "Aren't you afraid I'll report this to Domi?""He already knows." Hubert replied."So...I see..."Alberto seemed to struggle to keep up with the unfolding revelations. He nodded cursorily and stopped pressing further. Even a cursory glance revealed some undisclosed vendetta between Hubert and Domi that Alberto was not privy to. Yet to be given this sort of access—to visit like family—indicated a relationship far from ordinary.Alberto led the wa
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 91: Rejecting All Intimacy
Jacob's eyes widened in disbelief, uncertain of what Hubert was alluding to. Though he had a vague inkling that Hubert might know something, the specifics eluded him. But before he could speak, he felt a searing pain wash over him, as if Domi were trying to seize control of his very being. Desperately, he activated his Superpower to resist, but alas, his energy was insufficient. Beads of sweat drenched him, signaling the near-complete takeover of his body by Domi.Then, abruptly, Hubert gripped Jacob's shoulder, channeling into him an overwhelming surge of energy. In moments, Domi was entirely subdued; his ominous presence no longer lurked within Jacob.Hubert chuckled at Jacob's astonished expression: "You seem surprised that I knew another entity existed within you. Moreover, that I could suppress him. More accurately, temporarily suppress. Domi won't be able to control you for a few days.""Hubert!"Jacob grasped Hubert's hand on his shoulder, but Hubert swiftly withdrew, leaving a
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 92: Bold Speculation
Hubert wasn't overly startled by this revelation. Given Jacob's rank, it would have been impossible, but even Domi hadn't reached level seven. The only logical inference was that implanting the Energy Stone was Domi's superpower. However, Jacob had mentioned that Domi aimed to resurrect someone. Why then would he need assistance when he himself possessed such capabilities? "Why doesn't he just resurrect the person himself? What's the point in aiding my ascension to level seven? Lancelot almost died, and yet he was saved."Rubbing his chin contemplatively, Hubert waited for Jacob's reply, which came promptly: "The person Domi seeks to revive is already dead—absolutely dead. It's called 'resurrection,' not 'saving a life.' The two situations are hardly comparable.""So that's how it is? The person is already dead." Hubert mused, nodding in comprehension. For some inexplicable reason, Domi's intent to save someone evoked a surge of emotion within him. The mere mention of that mysterious
Zombies Apocalypse: Too Late To Run! Chapter 93: Loss Of Trust
Hubert hadn't anticipated such revelations. He had always assumed that he had a system granting him buffs, making his cultivation inherently stronger than that of others. But now it emerged that this gaming system was a highly sophisticated AI, capable of human interaction. It was but a guide, showing him the methodology of his cultivation. The more he heard, the less he dared believe. What exactly did Domi know? His knowledge seemed to surpass human comprehension altogether.Given all that Domi had done, Hubert could hazily deduce that he very likely hailed from the future, as Jacob suggested. Only thus could he know which Superhuman in the past had achieved Level 7, or which ones had the potential, and would therefore seek to expedite their advancement. Looking at it this way, Hubert became certain about the person Domi wished to resurrect. It seemed Domi was willing to forsake everything for that one individual, as though he had nothing left but that singular person."So, did you a

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
