Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

As Shane’s group traveled through the uneven road filled with broken cars, fallen trees, and various obstacles, the atmosphere didn’t seem too tense, but everyone was focused.

The escort team moved silently as they didn’t want to attract many types of Zombies at all. Although they already had plenty of experience on this type of mission, they were still being cautious.

Each member was alert and ready for any potential threats.

Soon, the scout, who was ahead of the group, felt something off. His keen senses noticed some disturbances ahead of them.

He had to make sure what it was, so he swiftly used his various skills to keep himself undetected. After a few moments, the scout froze as his eyes narrowed. He spotted movement in the underbrush and confirmed the presence of Zombies with his detection.

He then signaled to Captain Wei, who immediately raised his hand to halt the group. ”We’ve got company,” The scout whispered. His voice was barely audible, but the Captain heard him.

”Zombie Wolves. Ten of them, and one Alpha.”

Captain Wei’s expression hardened. The existence of the Alpha Wolf was a bit troubling… He could only hope that they could kill these Zombies without alerting the Giant Zombies that should leave around here.

Indeed, Captain Wei knew that this area had three or more Giant Zombies lurking around. They couldn’t cause a huge commotion when dealing with this problem. Even if they couldn’t avoid it, they had to be swift about it and leave the place as quickly as possible.

After considering it for a moment, he decided not to change their path and just use their overwhelming offensive power to deal with the problem. Well, he also wanted to show Shane and Lysandra that they have a trustworthy escort.

”Alright, everyone, get ready. Liang, deploy your drone. Bao, prepare the Minigun.”

Liang nodded, quickly activating his drone and sending it into the air... The small device buzzed quietly as it flew towards the pack of Zombie Wolves.

Bao, meanwhile, set up his M134 Minigun, the massive weapon gleaming ominously, and Shane couldn’t help but feel excited to see it in action.

Of course, Lysandra also made her preparations in case they needed assistance. She actually has the Gunslinger’s Dual Revolver with her since Shane was now using his Golden Desert Eagle.

Soon, the Zombie Wolves emerged from the shadows, and they weren’t in a hurry to attack, thanks to the Alpha Wolf’s presence.

The Alpha Zombie Wolf was larger and more menacing than the others and it led the pack with a low growl.

Seeing that the number of humans was low, the Alpha Wolf gave its command.

The wolves then moved at the same time with their decayed bodies…

”Liang, target the Alpha,” Captain Wei ordered. His voice was calm and he was ready to act as soon as the Alpha Zombie was dealt with.

”Roger that,” Liang replied. His fingers danced over the controls as he aimed for the Alpha Wolf.

Buzz…

The drone hovered above the Alpha Zombie Wolf, and with a precise drop, it released a grenade!

Thud…

Boom!

The explosion was deafening, sending a shockwave through the forest and disorienting the pack. The grenade was obviously one of the finest creations of the Ivory Gear Shelter!

It was something that Shane couldn’t trade with his Healing Tokens, no matter how many he offered.

”Bao, now!” Captain Wei shouted as he also pointed his gun at the enemies. It was the same for the scout and the medic, who also had weapons of their own.

Bao then unleashed a torrent of bullets from his Minigun, the weapon’s barrels spinning rapidly.

Brrrrtt~

The Zombie Wolves were torn apart by the barrage as their bodies disintegrated under the assault of the powerful Minigun.

The Alpha Zombie Wolf, though injured by the grenade, lunged at Bao with all its might!

Captain Wei, seeing the danger, sprang into action. Using his Leg Spring Skill, he anticipated the Alpha’s movements and intercepted it with a powerful strike from his short blade!

Although Captain Wei uses a rifle, he also knows how to use a short sword in this type of situation.

The blade cut through the Alpha’s decayed flesh… It didn’t take that long before the heavily injured creature collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

The forest fell silent once more as the threat neutralized. Captain Wei surveyed the area, ensuring there were no more hidden dangers.

”Good work, everyone,” He said, his voice filled with pride. ”Let’s loot them before we keep moving.”

At this time, Shane decided to speak.

”I want the Alpha Wolf’s corpse. Can I pay it with five Healing Tokens?” Shane said. The Healing Tokens costs him basically nothing.

If he wanted to, he could just pick up a branch, carve a token, and use his Skill Infuser Talent to infuse it with Fast Regeneration. It may not be as effective as the treated wood or rare wood, but it would still have healing effects.

Then, it would only cost him at least 20 Spirit Points!

Captain Wei didn’t think too much and just agreed to it. The other members of the squad even thanked Shane for being so generous. After all, they were already paid for this mission for a generous price because Lord Kang Zhen was the one who commissioned them. They didn’t expect that they’d get more benefits by staying with these people.

Furthermore, although the Alpha Wolf was considered a high-tier Zombie, it was probably the weakest one among them. They weren’t looking forward to the drop of this Zombie at all.

Shane smiled after seeing how quick the negotiation was and looted the Zombie.

Of course, he did this after activating his Loot Keeper’s Timepiece, allowing him to obtain five times more of what he could initially obtain.

[ Do you want to retrieve the loot? ]

”Yes.”

[ You have earned 75 Experience Points. ]

[ You have earned 1 Reputation Point. ]

[ Loots obtained: Item Upgrade Crystal x2, Zombie Core x5, 800mL Water, Bread x10, Unknown Meat ( Safe ) x5, 100mL Alpha Wolf Zombie Blood, Wolf Pelt Cloak x1, Wolf Slayer Bow x1 ] x5

’This is perfect…’ Shane thought to himself as he felt that he hit the jackpot.
