Starting by Controlling a Reborn Individual? I Became Invincible in the Apocalypse

An office worker, Huang Zhao, was slacking off when the apocalypse arrived. He awakened a psychic ability.

He successfully controlled a space-type ability reborn individual, absorbing their m...

Chapter 72 Level 3 Zombies are nothing special.

Brother Jie is clearly very dedicated to exploring his superpowers.

If time weren't so tight, they would even have wanted to weaken the corrosiveness of the supernatural mist to reduce the chances of being discovered by the enemy.

Brother Jie seemed quite adept at maximizing the advantages of his superpowers.

The five henchmen behind him, seeing what Brother Jie was doing, also raised their wrists to check.

"Frog Fun, this zombie is so green!"

"Could it be that he was cheated on in life, and this is his physical form after he turned into a zombie?"

"They might launch a sneak attack, but they're not exactly smart enough to just charge straight in."

"It had the advantage, yet it turned around and ran away. Are you kidding me?"

It mercilessly mocked the bright green zombie in the video.

Everyone in the car had absorbed the energy crystals provided by Huang Zhao again this morning, and their bodies had been significantly strengthened.

Even two of Brother Jie's confidants, with the help of the level-three energy crystals provided by Huang Zhao, have broken through to level two and are feeling somewhat arrogant.

"This zombie is at least level three, and it even has some intelligence."

We can't handle this; we need to notify General Manager Chen to handle it.

Brother Jie said in a serious tone, and the crowd was still somewhat skeptical.

"Seriously? Are there really level 3 zombies this cowardly?"

"The speed at which zombies escape is something even we level two zombies can't match."

After receiving Brother Jie's affirmation, the five people behind him looked up at the sky speechlessly.

"This...we've just come out and we already have to wait for backup?"

"That's really lame."

Hearing the disappointment in his younger brother's words, Brother Jie scolded him:

"Showing off after the apocalypse will not only cost you face, but could very well cost you your lives!"

Be serious, and don't get cocky just because you have some ability!

"With your skills, you wouldn't even last two claws from those zombies."

"Retreat back into the park and maintain order!"

The dump truck turned around and backed up into the park it had just left.

Ignoring his unruly underlings behind him, Brother Jie directly contacted the shelter's AI via the terminal.

"Aili, I need to contact the city lord."

"The application has been sent to the city lord's terminal. Please wait."

At this moment, Huang Zhao, who was preparing to head to the South Gate, looked at the call request from Brother Jie on the terminal in his hand with a puzzled expression.

'I sent him to recruit survivors on the East China University of Political Science and Law campus. He seems to have just left; he probably hasn't arrived yet.'

Although he was puzzled as to why she was contacted so quickly, Huang Zhao still answered the request promptly.

"What's up?"

Huang Zhao, dressed in armor, appeared on the terminal on Jie Ge's wrist and asked him a question.

"Lord of the city, please receive a video taken by a drone."

We discovered a potentially level-three poisonous zombie at the north gate of East China University of Political Science and Law.

This zombie just attacked the survivors at East China University of Political Science and Law, and then escaped.

The survivors are not dead, but they are likely poisoned. We have not yet made contact with them.

Brother Jie gave a brief and concise account of what had happened so that Huang Zhao could understand the whole story.

After being attacked by the poisonous zombies, Zheng Lan and the others immediately returned to Apartment No. 7.

The three poisoned individuals were resting in their dormitory, feeling increasingly weak.

Meanwhile, Ning Chuxia and her two companions began to gather the other scattered teams and cease their rescue efforts for other survivors, returning to their posts.

They are preparing to discuss a plan to evacuate the girls' dormitory at East China University of Political Science and Law.

Huang Zhao looked at the video received on the terminal, which was taken by the drone.

Among the six girls, Ning Chuxia, with her white hair, stood out.

'It's early summer for them!'

That zombie... was definitely poison-based, and it shouldn't be a mutant.

If it were a mutant that had lost its mind, Chu Xia and the others would have been wiped out in that sneak attack.

'This is considered a genius among zombies, right?'

It naturally broke through to level three on the fifth day of the apocalypse; the survivors in the surrounding apartments have probably already been eaten by this zombie!

A thought suddenly occurred to him: the zombies in the Golden Fertilizer Feeding Plan were breaking through at a slower pace, perhaps not as fast as Chen Run and Qin Yi were accumulating energy by absorbing crystals.

Bring this level 3 creature back to feed it to the Golden Fertilizer; maybe it will break through to level 4 soon!

'I will not allow any creature as powerful as me to exist within my territory!'

He replied to the waiting Brother Jie:

"I understand. You did a great job. This zombie is definitely not something you can handle right now."

You guys find a safe place to hide first, I'll come over and meet you now.

"Clear the zombies first, then continue your mission."

A naturally evolved level 3 zombie has the intelligence of a 6-year-old child and loves to imitate human behavior.

The techniques of ambushing and escaping were likely learned while attacking other survivors.

If Brother Jie and the others were to confront this zombie directly, there would definitely be casualties in the ensuing battle, which Huang Zhao could not accept.

Relieved to receive the affirmation, Brother Jie felt a sense of relief, having just taken over the important task from the city lord the night before.

My first mission was a bit of a disaster, and I was quite nervous, but thankfully I made the right choice.

He and his five henchmen hid in the park, waiting for Huang Zhao to arrive.

Inside Dawn City, Huang Zhao hung up the call and spoke to Qin Yi via mental connection:

"Brother Yi, the search and rescue team in the south has run into some trouble."

There's a level 3 zombie they can't handle; let's go over there.

"good!"

The two quickened their pace and headed towards the location where heavy trucks were parked outside the south city wall.

A short while later, I drove the heavy truck about half a kilometer along the highway.

Within a 120-meter mental perception area after the transfer, a dump truck parked in the park appeared, and Brother Jie and his group of six were waiting in the truck.

The two vehicles passed each other, signaling to Brother Jie and his group to follow. The heavy truck led the way, heading towards the North Gate of East China University of Political Science and Law.

The battle between the level-three poison zombie and Zheng Lan and others took place on the edge of the road, about 200 meters inside from the north gate.

The heavy truck slowly passed through the north gate, approaching the area where the two sides were fighting.

A bright green zombie appeared in Huang Zhao's mental perception area.

At this moment, the zombie was lying on the edge of the third floor of an apartment building near the road, seemingly preparing to jump down and attack the approaching heavy truck.

"Brother Yi, stop the car, I've found that zombie."

After stopping the heavy truck, Qin Yi asked through the mental connection:

What do you need me to do?

"No need, this is a poison-type zombie, don't get too close."

I have a simple way to fix it.

Huang Zhao got out of the car alone and walked forward by himself, attracting the zombies to come out and attack.

On the dump truck that stopped behind were Brother Jie and his group, who had never seen Huang Zhao actually make a move.

At this moment, everyone stared wide-eyed at Huang Zhao, curious about just how strong the city lord was.

"Don't worry, it'll definitely blow your mind!"

Just as Huang Zhao was about to reach the location where Zheng Lan was attacked, the poisonous zombie upstairs used the same trick again, suddenly leaping out of the apartment and pouncing on Huang Zhao.

At the same time, it was about to spray poisonous mist from its mouth.

With the mental shock already building in his mind, Huang Zhao fired a shot directly at the zombie that had already leaped out.
