Chapter 52: Chapter 52 High-level Zombie

This time, Sylas could clearly see the mysterious figure’s appearance.

It was a zombie!

The zombie had red eyes, and half of its face was purplish blue. Its mouth was completely gone, and its sharp teeth were fully exposed. It was gruesome to look at.

It was definitely not a normal zombie. It was different, very different from the rest of the zombies. Its movements were like normal humans, and its intelligence was high, too.

Moreover… it could command the other zombies. It was like a leader.

Sylas was about to head straight towards that zombie when he saw two zombies heading straight towards him. The zombies were stronger, and their movements were nimble. They were coming for him.

Sylas immediately glared at the zombie that was standing on the building. It was definitely its work. Sensing Sylas’s gaze on him, the zombie tilted its head sideways and made a “GA GA GA” sound, as if laughing at Sylas, then jumped down towards the army of zombies.

Sylas frowned. He didn’t know what that zombie was after. But he had a feeling that if they fought, he would not lose. Perhaps the zombie knew that it would not be able to defeat Sylas. That’s why it chose not to confront him head-on.

’Did he purposely lure me here?’ Sylas thought as he immediately dodged the zombie’s claws and kicked the other zombie’s hand away.

The zombie’s hand lifelessly dangled, but with a crack, the hand moved again. It started attacking again with a growl.

These two zombies were fiercer than the others. Sylas unleashed his spatial ability, and the spatial blade rushed out, cutting the zombies into pieces. Though this consumed more of his energy, he was in a hurry. He wanted to see where that zombie with high intelligence had gone. Sylas rushed towards the building, and what he saw beyond made his heart almost stop beating.

Although he had already sensed the presence of an army of zombies, seeing it with his own eyes was different. The visual shock sent chills down his spine.

So many zombies were gathered here. It was as if the whole town’s zombies were here. No, if he was not mistaken, the whole of Pinewood Town’s zombies were indeed here all gathered in one place.

’What the….’ Sylas had his eyes wide open as he stood frozen on the building.

What shocked him the most was that the zombie with higher intelligence was heading towards the middle, and all the other zombies instinctively made way for him.

A zombie leader had emerged!

And it was a high-level zombie with intelligence far superior than the normal zombies.

Sylas had no way of knowing how the zombies upgraded their strength. But he knew for sure that if zombies could upgrade their strength, it would not be a good thing for humans.

Sylas suddenly remembered a saying at this moment.

The universe is fair. It doesn’t recognize friends or foes. It treats all beings equally.

If awakened humans could upgrade their strength, then why not zombies?

When the high-level zombie reached the middle of the army of zombies, he let out a sharp and shrill sound, raising his hand, which had half of the skeleton exposed.

The zombies began to swarm in circles like a spiral, with the high-level zombie in the middle. It was noisy and messy, and the scene looked like something from a purgatory.

The zombies’ movements caused the trembling of the earth.

No wonder he felt the trembling of the earth, Sylas thought.

Soon, Sylas saw something incredible. The stronger zombies started to fight, and the victors began to dig out the brains. Then, to Sylas’s astonishment, they took out energy stones from the brain and directly ate them.

Energy stones!

Sylas quickly looked back at the two zombies he had killed. He didn’t check their brains because he was in a hurry. He immediately jumped down, and the spatial blade rushed out from his hand, splitting open the zombies’ heads.

This time, he saw the energy stones inside the heads. They were white in color, like crystals. Moreover, they were very small, almost the size of a pea.

Looks like it takes time for zombies to form an energy stone, Sylas thought. Or else, how come the zombies he encountered on the way didn’t have energy stones even though they were stronger than normal zombies?

Sylas stored it in his space and sensed it. As expected, the space started to absorb the energy stone immediately.

Sylas didn’t wait to see what changes the zombie energy stone would bring to his space. He withdrew his senses and immediately got back on the building to see what the zombies were doing.

To Sylas’s surprise, the zombies who were eating other weaker zombies were instantly killed by the high-level zombie. The high-level zombie was eating the energy cores of those zombies.

’Not good. It’s upgrading its strength,’ Sylas thought, his heart racing.

At the same time, the army of zombies was spreading out in all directions.

’It’s trying to surround me!’ Sylas thought as he scanned the surroundings using his senses.

Under the command of the high-level zombie, the zombies were slowly surrounding Sylas.

The high-level zombie was upgrading its strength at the same time.

What was he after?

My energy stone?

Sylas thought as he quickly jumped down from the building. Space distorted as his spatial energy spread out. The zombies that were coming towards him all met their end under Sylas’s spatial blade.

Many zombies were coming towards him from all directions.

Suddenly, Sylas could feel his energy recovering to its peak.

Sylas instantly thought of the zombie energy stone.

The zombie energy stone can recover ability users’ energy?

Sylas had a feeling that the energy stones of the zombies could be used by all awakened humans.

If the zombie energy stones could be absorbed by all ability users, what about zombies? Could they consume all kinds of energy stones from awakened humans?

If so, then…

A sudden thought crossed Sylas’s mind.

The high-level zombie is after my energy stone!
