Chapter 123: Setting Out!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

That night, the human-headed monsters set out once again.

Taking advantage of the quiet night, they moved silently and arrived near the gathering place on Guangping Street at 2 a.m. in the morning.

At 2 a.m. in the morning, it was the time when humans were sound asleep.

Moreover, this time, the Mother Tree had even arranged a Special Operations Squad and equipped them with a secret weapon.

A human-headed monster with Mass Invisibility ability.

The emergence of this special ability brought more possibilities.

Despite the guards on Guangping Street gathering place and the well-lit surroundings during the night, they could not defend against this swift and eerie invasion.

The human-headed monsters successfully arrived near Lu Ming’s house without alerting anyone.

Just as the Mother Tree was about to give the order for an all-out attack, all the human-headed monsters suddenly felt their bodies sink!

In a nearby house, Zhang Chengcheng pushed open the window, looked outside, and extended her right hand, activating the gravity field to its maximum.

Before the human-headed monsters could react, the window on the second floor of Lu Ming’s house opened as well.

Lu Ming gritted his teeth.

“I knew it! 1 knew you would come again!”

Lu Ming knew that these monsters would not give up harassing him!

Lu Ming still did not quite understand their purpose, but after enduring their visits during noon and afternoon, now it made sense that there would be another visit at night.

In order to wait for these monsters, Lu Ming had only slept for a short while at night.

When these human-headed monsters flew above Guangping Street, the sound of wings flapping in the air had already woken Lu Ming up.

Invisibility?

This was indeed useful.

But you didn’t know how to control airflow and sound.. Lu Ming has ears!

A sleepless night of rage made Lu Ming’s eyes filled with killing intent.

At 25 years old, he was already past the age of pulling all-nighters and staying energetic!

These human-headed monsters were messing with Lu Ming. How was Lu Ming supposed to plan for the next day’s activities!?

How to catch up on sleep in just one day!?

Leaping out of the window, Lu Ming landed in front of the invisible monsters.

With a slash of the long sword in his hand, he coincidentally killed the invisible human-headed monster. This human-headed monster had no self-healing ability.

The invisibility was dispelled, and Lu Ming did not hesitate to swing his sword again!

What had already happened twice was repeating itself..

This time, Lu Ming had also learned to be cunning.

In order to prevent these monsters from escaping again, Lu Ming called out to Zhang Chengcheng.

There was no need for Cheng Cheng to participate in the battle. It was enough for her to use her Gravity superpower to prevent the human-headed monsters from fleeing.

Zhang Chengcheng did an outstanding job.

By the time the day was breaking, all the head monsters had been wiped out at the gathering place.

Several houses were overturned by the aftermath of the battle.

Some farmlands were destroyed.

Naturally, there were no casualties.

However, standing under the morning sun, Lu Ming felt no sense of triumph.

He looked in the direction from which the human-headed monstershad flown until Zhang Chengcheng, Wang Xiong, Huo Sheng, and the others arrived by his side.

“This won’t do,”

Lu Ming spoke.

The others remained silent.

Lu Ming continued, “They’re not important. They’re just a bunch of assembly line products. What’s important is the assembly line that produces these monsters.”

“I don’t know why that thing keeps coming to bother me repeatedly.”

“1 only know that there’s a saying – a thief can last a thousand days, but there’s no defense against a thief for a thousand days.”

There was a batch today.

Tomorrow, another batch would come.

Three times a day.

Who could withstand this!?

Was Lu Ming still able to sleep anymore?

Right now, the threat posed by the monster assembly line was already laid bare before Lu Ming, making him unable to make any other choice.

“Prepare the car. I have to go out.”

Lu Ming informed Wang Xiong and then went home to prepare the necessary supplies for leaving home.

If possible, Lu Ming did not want to leave his house.

But the current situation forced him to do so, and the urgency was even higher than the previous two times!

In fact, the urgency of the situation this time was far higher than the previous two times!

The previous two outings were for supplies.

But this time, he really went out for the safety of his life!

“Weapons, water, food.”

And..

“Zombie Crystals!”

Yes, zombie crystals were also a necessity.

Lu Ming did not know what he would encounter next. With his current strength, could he deal with that monster assembly line?

The zombie crystals were prepared for this purpose.

If the situation was not bad, he would immediately level up!

Doubling his physical fitness and awakening his superpowers at the same time! Lu Ming did not believe that he could not deal with the monster assembly line then.

Of course, if he could avoid leveling up, he would... Once he leveled up, it would delay his daily routine of farming attributes.

It all came down to weighing the pros and cons.

After finishing the preparations, Lu Ming sat by the bed and opened the attribute panel.

Everything was ready.

Lu Ming slung the backpack on his back, pushed open the door, and strode out.

[Day 117 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Thursday.]

Today, there was no exercise.

They set off at five in the morning and followed the route that the human-headed monsters had flown over, searching for clues.

In the car, Lu Ming ate some jerky hastily to replenish his energy, so that he would not experience sudden hypoglycemia during a battle.

After that, Lu Ming closed his eyes and rested.

On the other hand, Zhang Chengcheng, Huo Sheng, and the others could not help but keep looking out of the window.

Yes, Huo Sheng was also with the team, along with the Black Mist Exploration Team led by Bai Tianyu and Duan Mei.

After about an hour of traveling, they did not encounter any zombies along the way. It was as if all the zombies in the city had disappeared.

Until Huo Sheng, who was beside him, suddenly spoke.

“Stop for a moment.”

The convoy came to a halt. Huo Sheng whispered something and then Bai Tianyu who was in the back of the car led two team members in a different direction.

About half an hour later, Bai Tianyu returned and whispered something to Huo Sheng. Huo Sheng issued another order.

“Southeast.”

The convoy started moving again.

In just over ten minutes, everyone saw groups of zombies heading towards Linhai County in the distance.

Then, Lu Ming opened his eyes.

He could vaguely see the zombie in the lead. It had the body of a Tank, but it had the head of a child.historical

“A Head monster,”

Lu Ming muttered, drawing a nod from Huo Sheng.

“Yes.”

“That human-headed monster is leading the zombies towards a specific location.”

Logically speaking, there were many Awakened in this convoy, so it should have attracted a zombie wave.

However, at this moment, even though the convoy was only a few hundred meters away from the zombies, the zombies remained undisturbed.

This was enough to indicate something.

Huo Sheng spoke again, “Follow them. Their destination is our destination..”
