I Stack Attributes in the Apocalypse

Chapter 12

In the Wanda Shop.

Wang Gang woke up from his fainting spell, feeling a splitting headache and his right eye seemed blind, unable to see anything.

He had no idea how long he had been unconscious.

But soon, Wang Gang recalled the last scene he saw before passing out—the man with the slingshot.

Wang Gang shuddered, struggling to get up, and immediately saw his four companions.

Yao Zheng and Wei Kai were pinned together by a crossbow bolt, indistinguishable from each other, dead beyond death.

Feng Qin’s eye was exploded by the slingshot—he was not as lucky as Wang Gang getting hit in a vital spot by the heavy slingshot, and died a clean death.

Poor Liu Aiyuan had her mouth and cervical vertebrae shattered.

At this moment, she had not completely breathed her last breath.

But her spine was shattered, causing Liu Aiyuan to lose the ability to control her body. She lay naked on the bed, unable to turn her head or move, her eyes staring straight at the ceiling, while her mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water.

There was a saying that when calamity struck, everyone looked out for themselves.

Wang Gang had no intention of saving Liu Aiyuan’s life.

Enduring the pain in his head, Wang Gang was about to go downstairs, but as soon as he turned around, he suddenly froze.

Because he saw, just behind him at the stairwell, a head full of white hair and a pair of grayish-white eyes slowly rising.

A zombie.

It was a zombie!

Wang Gang was about to scream when the zombie in front of him suddenly pounced, crossing several meters in an instant and landing right in front of him.

A tremendous force rushed over, instantly knocking Wang Gang down.

However, the expected gnawing did not happen.

Wang Gang only felt a pair of large hands firmly gripping his forehead, accompanied by a “crack” sound, and then he lost consciousness…

After breaking Wang Gang’s neck, this zombie exhibited intelligence different from the ordinary zombies.

First, it let out a loud roar, causing the restless zombies downstairs to stop in their tracks, then with its grayish-white eyes, it scanned the scene in the house.

After its gaze stopped on Yao Zheng, Feng Qin, Wang Gang, Wei Kai, and Liu Aiyuan, the zombie locked onto Yao Zheng and Wei Kaifa.

It pulled the corpses over and began feasting.

Blood splattered, flesh devoured.

One could clearly see that the few already sparse hair on the head of this elderly zombie began to fall out, but its skin became tighter, and its grayish-white eyes gradually became brighter.

After a little over an hour, the zombie finished eating the two bodies and stood up.

It was evident that this once frail zombie had grown taller and stronger by a significant margin!

It did not rest and went on to Feng Qin’s corpse and began to feast again.

The sound of tearing and swallowing filled the air.

The zombies downstairs were drawn by the smell of blood and were restless, but they were restrained by the pressure from that strange zombie and did not dare to cross the line.

Meanwhile, Liu Aiyuan, paralyzed from the neck down, could only listen and scan the surroundings with the corner of her eye.

Tears slowly rolled down her cheeks.

Even with IQ and poor vision, she could sense the current situation.

That zombie was feasting and evolving!

And she, who was still alive and fresh, was the final main course of that eerie zombie!

…

Name: Lu Ming.

Age: 25 years old.

Strength: 7.2

Physique: 7.6

Agility: 8.

Fitness Lv2 (50/100).

Slingshot Lv2 (16/200).

Crossbow Shooting Lv2 (5/200).

Archery Lv1 (1/100)

Hand-to-hand combat Lv1 (53/100).

At the fitness area on the second floor, Lu Ming opened the attribute panel and studied it carefully.

The attributes had not changed, but the proficiency levels of the skills had.

Slingshot shooting Lv2 had increased from 7 proficiency points to 16, a gain of 9 points.

Crossbow design Lv2 went from 0 proficiency point to 5.

Thinking of the structure of his attack when he killed the person earlier, Lu Ming had a speculation in his mind.

Double kill with one bolt from the crossbow, increasing the proficiency by 5 points. It’s worth noting that the distance I shot from was within 10 meters.

From this, it can be inferred that the proficiency gained from hitting living targets is not the same as hitting stationary targets.

The increase in proficiency in slingshot shooting also follows this logic. Just now, I used the slingshot three times in a row. Every time I hit the target, I can increase my proficiency.

It seemed that training by hitting living targets was much more effective than hitting stationary ones.

But then again.

If not for the fact that his safety was severely threatened, Lu Ming would never have gone out. He did not have live targets to practice on at home. Therefore, although Lu Ming yearned for the proficiency gained from hitting living targets, he could only think about it and not put it into action.

He put on the gauntlets and stood in front of the sandbag.

Recalling the techniques of hand-to-hand combat, Lu Ming began to practice meticulously.

He practiced until four o’clock in the afternoon.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Lu Ming was about to prepare dinner.

The episode of the killing this afternoon would not change Lu Ming’s daily routine.

Exercise, eat, and sleep.

Lu Ming was enjoying his seemingly boring life.

If he could, he really wanted to continue enjoying this peaceful life forever.

…

After a brief muffled groan, Liu Aiyuan’s neck was snapped and she lost all signs of life.

Another half an hour later, there was no sign of Liu Aiyuan and the others on the second floor of the Wanda Store, other than bloodstains and shattered bones.

A strong zombie, standing about two meters tall, slowly stood up from the ground. It had a muscular body, arms as thick as a man’s thigh, a shiny bald head, and pale eyeballs.

There were sporadic bloodstains on its lips, and stray shreds of flesh between its sharp teeth.

This was a big fellow that looked different from a normal zombie.

What was even more terrifying was the occasional flash of light in its eyes, as if to prove that its intelligence was far superior to that of a normal zombie!

“Roar.”

A roar reverberated from the mouth of the giant zombie, causing the horde of zombies downstairs to take several steps back.

The giant zombie descended the stairs like a general, with thunderous footsteps, and quickly led a group of underlings to the entrance of the Wanda Store.

Looking up, it gazed in the direction of Lu Ming’s house.

With its powerful sense of smell, restored vision to human levels, and an increased intelligence of around 60, the giant zombie deduced that there was someone there.

One person.

Flaring its nostrils, the giant zombie turned its head towards another direction in the village.

There were people there, too.

And more!

Instinctively, the giant zombie realized that it needed to consume more fresh flesh and blood in order to grow stronger.

Hunting a single prey was far less valuable compared to hunting a group of prey.

With this in mind, the giant zombie let out another roar and, accompanied by its underlings, rushed towards the opposite direction of Lu Ming’s house.

…

The sound of footsteps and roars a hundred meters away disturbed Lu Ming, who was having his meal.

He opened the observation window and saw the horde of zombies already moving away.

He vaguely caught sight of an extremely conspicuous figure within the horde.

This made Lu Ming frown.

That zombie looks so muscular…

A sense of unease welled up within him, and Lu Ming frowned and closed the observation hole.

“Can zombies evolve?” he wondered.
