Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

Chapter 362 Allies

With a swift motion, Alex drew the dagger from his waist and pierced the mutant dog's throat.

The dog struggled for a moment before collapsing to the ground, lifeless.

After dealing with the mutant dogs, Alex breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and then focused his gaze on the towering ancient tree.

It was through this ancient tree that he had managed to find this place.

"Hopefully, this herb will be helpful to me," Alex muttered as he carefully approached the ancient tree.

However, as soon as he got within three feet of the tree...

Buzz!

The tree emitted a brilliant green light and transformed into a vine, binding Alex tightly.

"What is this..." Alex's eyes widened in surprise.

Roar!

As soon as the vine bound Alex, hundreds of zombies came rushing in.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The zombies roared, their eyes fixed on Alex, filled with hunger and greed.

"Damn it," Alex cursed under his breath, struggling against the vine.

But the vine held fast, not budging an inch.

Whoosh!

At that moment, the ancient tree suddenly emitted a dazzling green beam of light, shooting towards Alex.

Alex's pupils contracted sharply.

He could feel a strong wave of life essence from this beam—this was definitely a treasure.

"No wonder these zombies are swarming this mountain range," Alex thought.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, the green beam reached Alex, who quickly raised his hands to block it.

Boom!

A deafening explosion echoed in all directions, like a giant stone thrown into a calm lake, creating massive waves.

"Ah!"

Alex couldn't help but scream in pain. His hand bones shattered, and he was thrown back, crashing into a mountain, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

"Such overwhelming power," Alex gritted his teeth, feeling intense pain.

Crack!

Suddenly, a soft cracking sound echoed. Alex turned his head to see the green vine slowly retracting.

In the blink of an eye, the green vine had disappeared back into the tree trunk.

"Damn it, am I going to die here?" Alex growled through clenched teeth, his eyes wide with desperation.

Roar! Roar!

Out of nowhere, a series of roars filled the air, sending chills down his spine.

Soon after, a swarm of shadows rushed out—zombies, all of them.

Thousands upon thousands of zombies gathered, creating a terrifying scene.

"Why are these zombies still here?" Alex's face contorted with rage.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The zombies charged, their ghastly, bloodthirsty eyes fixated on him.

Alex took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He pulled out his steel ball gun and aimed at the surrounding zombies, pulling the trigger.

Rat-a-tat-tat!

Bullets whizzed out, piercing the zombies' heads.

In an instant, the zombies fell to the ground.

Roar!

A zombie with a rotting body and sharp fangs lunged at him.

"Get lost." Alex's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Splat!

A bullet pierced through the zombie's head, pinning its body to the ground.

Splat!

Blood splattered as the decaying corpse fell.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

More and more zombies charged, numbering in the hundreds.

"Damn it," Alex cursed, forced to stop shooting as his ammunition ran out.

Swish, swish, swish!

Alex grabbed his steel ball gun, frantically firing at the zombies.

Splat! Splat! Splat!

The steel balls tore through the air, blasting the zombies apart, and blood rained down.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

One zombie after another continued to attack.

Splat!

A zombie bit Alex's arm, and searing pain surged through his mind.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Alex lifted his head abruptly, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. He gripped his steel ball gun tightly and began shooting wildly.

Bang, bang, bang!

After emptying a clip, Alex's body was covered in wounds, and he staggered.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a zombie lunged at Alex, jaws wide open.

Slash!

Alex swung his knife backward, slicing the zombie and sending it flying.

However, another zombie scratched Alex's shoulder.

Splat!

Next, a zombie attacked, biting Alex's neck.

Chomp!

This time, Alex didn't dodge, taking the bite head-on.

Roar!

The zombie growled furiously, biting down harder, trying to devour Alex alive.

Splat!

But it only bit into Alex's afterimage.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

After dodging the zombie's claw, Alex immediately turned and punched the zombie hard in the stomach.

Boom!

The zombie's body exploded instantly, white flesh scattering everywhere.

Roar, roar, roar!

Seeing their companion's gruesome death, the other zombies charged madly, trying to overwhelm Alex.

Alex sneered coldly. He stomped his foot, leaping into the air to evade the attacking zombies.

Swish!

Landing back on the ground, Alex raised his right leg and kicked a zombie's head.

Bang!

The zombie's head burst, brain matter splattering, killing it instantly.

Another zombie pounced, its sharp claws tearing Alex's skin, leaving a bloody gash.

If Alex hadn't dodged in time, he might have become a cold corpse by now.

Splat!

With icy eyes, Alex held his steel ball gun in his left hand and stabbed it into the zombie's head, ending its life.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The zombies, although slow and lumbering, were fearless and charged en masse.

Alex's eyes were sharp as he swung his steel ball gun to fend them off while quickly fleeing.

These zombies were incredibly strong, and if they managed to entangle him, it could easily mean death.

"Damn it, I need to get out of here fast," Alex muttered through gritted teeth as he ran, hoping to find an escape route.

Roar, roar, roar!

More and more zombies pursued him, making it hard for Alex to keep up.

"This isn't working, I can't shake them off," Alex gritted his teeth.

"If that's the case, then I have no choice but to fight," Alex's eyes turned icy. He took a few pills and then activated his skill, Hell Step.

This martial technique, which Alex had learned in the post-apocalyptic world, was incredibly powerful.

Using it to increase his speed, Alex moved with incredible swiftness.

He reached supersonic speed, breaking the sound barrier in an instant.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several zombies lunged at Alex, but as soon as they got close, Alex shot them with his steel ball gun, and they fell to the ground, wailing.

"Damn it, at this rate, these guys will wear me down," Alex frowned.

Roar, roar!

Suddenly, two beastly roars echoed.

Immediately, a strange-looking zombie resembling a lion-tiger hybrid and a robust giant wolf appeared in front of Alex.

The lion-tiger zombie and the giant wolf exuded a terrifying aura, their eyes filled with excitement and greed as they stared at Alex.

"Roar!" The lion-tiger zombie growled deeply, its aura intensifying as it lunged at Alex.
