ners madly and crazily hacked apart the zombies with a fierce passion. Most of the men had some experience in fighting the zombies, and were no longer afraid of these slow moving creatures. Now that they have a Tang Imitation Sword, they must kill zombies to evolve and grow stronger. In this post-apocalypse world, having more strength means a better life.
After Zhao Xin had retreated, he asked Yue Zhong, “Captain Yue, why did you let us retreat?”
Now that the wall does not have any evolved zombies, the third and fourth squad was having a merry time killing the zombies. To them, slaying a zombie was no different from killing a chicken or a dog. Also, they could gain experience orbs. Many men could not understand why Yue Zhong made this decision.
Yue Zhong explained, “Our strength is currently too weak! We need to continuously strengthen our forces. You guys take a short rest first. We will need you and your team in battle again soon.”
Zhao Xin did not quite understand, but still he led his men away to rest.
“Skill book!” After killing a zombie, a skill book dropped from the corpse of the zombie.
Once the skill book appears, all the men in the nearby area seemed to turn green with jealousy and greed. They crept nearer towards the skill book. One of the prisoners’ eyes appeared to be full of desire as he stretched out his hands in an attempt to grab the book.
A skill book represents a powerful skill, and all of the men knew about this. The lure of power tempted many prisoners.
“Bang!” a shot rang out.
The prisoner who grabbed skill book suddenly had a bloody hole in his head, and as he collapsed, his eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
The rest of the prisoners were surprised, and they looked towards the direction where the bullet was fired from. They saw that there were men who had type 03 assault rifles pointed towards them.
The prisoners’ heart turned cold, and they dare not even to take another glance at the skill book. Instead, they focused on killing more zombies.
A soldier walked up and took the skill book and all the surrounding [System] coins. Many men also continuously dragged or tossed the corpses of zombies down the wall.
Thankfully the zombies’ commander had no more new tactics and could only try to overwhelm the defenders with sheer numbers. Zombies after zombies were continuously lurched at the gates, and killed by the defenders.
The corpses of these zombies were tossed into a massive bonfire.
The battle continued until nightfall, and Yue Zhong rotated the prisoners, and newly trained soldiers to take turns to slay zombies.
A few men were careless and were injured by the zombies and became infected. They were shot immediately. Most of the prisoners and newly trained soldiers had evolved to level 2. At the same time, they overcome their fear of the zombies.
A typical human only needs to kill about three zombies with a weapon from the [System] to evolve to level 2. But the level 7 evolvers needs to kill tens of zombies to gain a level. For high-level evolvers like Yue Zhong, he needs to kill thousands of zombies to gain a level.
Having the prisoners and the recruits use Tang Imitation Swords and take turns killing the zombie horde could raise their level quickly. To ensure that they could withstand the might of a 100,000 zombie army, Yue Zhong had no choice by to allow them to become evolvers.
