Zombie Apocalypse: Don't be afraid, I'm not a good person.

Shenhe was still wearing a full black windbreaker suit, because it would be difficult to spot him at night.

After thinking for a moment, he took out a black mask from his spatial storage and put it on, leaving only his eyes exposed.

He was standing on the roof of an old residential building, looking down to check the location of those people.

They were almost all located on the third floor of residential buildings, in positions that offered both offensive and defensive advantages, and were not easily spotted.

The fifty-seven people were divided into more than ten groups. He chose the group with the most people and planned to go over and listen to what was going on.

A barely perceptible ripple spread through the space, and the figure instantly vanished into the darkness.

Room 401, Building 8, Jinjing Jiayuan.

There were eleven people in the room: one second-tier strength-type ability user and ten ordinary people.

The room was pitch black, and eleven people stood by the window, looking out through the gaps in the curtains.

Shenhe stood silently at the back of the crowd, listening quietly to their conversation.

Across the street from the window, zombies filled the entire street, stretching as far as the eye could see, causing the people inside the house to furrow their brows in deep concern.

"Bro, we can't get through here! There are too many zombies. We might get surrounded!"

"Yeah, Brother Qing, how about we just give up? It's not worth risking our lives for something that's not even real."

"That's right, there's no definite answer. Nobody knows what's inside or if there isn't anything at all."

The three or four men in front seemed to be on good terms with each other, and they were all trying to persuade the burly man who had remained silent.

Shenhe was bored, so he looked at everyone in the room one by one. When he turned to look to his right, he paused slightly.

Standing to his right was a short man, looking up at him with a puzzled expression, clearly wondering if there was such a person in the group.

Shenhe Chong nodded politely.

The short man paused for a moment, then nodded back as if on cue. But as he turned back, he felt something was off. He frowned, scratched the back of his head, and stood there pondering.

At this moment, the burly man spoke.

"Fortune favors the bold. As far as I know, we're not the only ones around here. I can sense that many others are also eyeing the unknown treasures on the outskirts of the city."

You've all read the novel, haven't you? Divine objects in the world are always foretold by the heavens. Whenever a rare treasure appears in the world, the heavens and earth undergo extraordinary changes!

You all heard the rumbling thunder this afternoon, didn't you? It was a clear, sunny day with not a cloud in the sky, and the lightning just kept going for three hours straight!

Finally, the blue lightning almost turned purple – what could this not be a sign that a rare treasure was about to be born? If we could obtain that treasure, perhaps my brothers could also activate their supernatural abilities and survive even better!

That's it? These people are gathered here just because of this?

Shenhe thought this group of people had discovered a treasure, and he came to see what it was so he could take his things back if he liked it.

So, all this was because he was practicing his skills?

Ugh, what a waste of several minutes. With that time, I could have gained hundreds more experience points with Lightning Bolt.

Thinking this, he vanished without a trace.

"ah-!"

As soon as Shenhe left, the short man turned to look at him. He clearly remembered that this person was not in the group, but when he turned around, there was nothing next to him, which startled him.

"what!"

"Holy crap! That was terrifying!"

"What's wrong!"

"Winter Melon! What are you yelling about!"

His shout startled everyone in the room. They all turned around to check their belongings, and when they saw that there was nothing wrong, they glared at him angrily.

The shorter man pointed to the spot beside him, his face filled with terror, tears welling in his eyes. "There... there was a tall man here just now, he was nodding at me, and the moment I turned my head, he was gone!"

Everyone held up their knives and looked into the house. No one doubted the short man's words. They had been teaming up for many days, so how could they not know each other's character!

But only their own people are in this room!

The burly man and the men around him exchanged glances. Just as he was about to reassure them, the room suddenly lit up, then went dark again, followed by a deafening sound, and then it lit up again!

"Snap! Crack!"

"Snap! Crack!"

The burly men turned around and saw it!

Everyone rushed to the window and saw one after another eerie bolt of lightning, purple and blue, striking down in the night sky outside the city. The dark night was torn apart, and the entire city of Hanzhou flickered in and out of focus.

But there wasn't a single dark cloud in the sky.

The burly man suddenly looked at the shorter man. "Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"

The short man nodded seriously, "Absolutely not! He even nodded and greeted me!"

The burly man's eyes darted around, then he waved his hand. "This is an ominous sign! Brothers, let's retreat!"

After saying that, he led the way out of the room and left.

In the western suburbs of the city, lightning struck continuously. By the time Shenhe upgraded his Lightning spell to level ten, it was already one in the morning.

He was standing in mid-air, releasing water downwards—he was bursting from all the energy-restoring potions he'd drunk all night!

It takes 18000 experience points to go from level 7 to level 10. Logically, it should take more than ten hours to reach level 10 without a break. So he had to come up with a solution: use his telekinetic ability to hold the zombies together tightly, and then use lightning to strike several at once.

After spinning around a few times, I opened the system panel and saw that my Lightning Bolt spell had reached level 10 and was ready to advance.

A skill tree formed of light and shadow appeared on the panel, with lush branches and leaves, but only two main branches.

A branch bearing the lightning spell icon was glowing purple.

The icon for the other branch is dim but is flashing slightly, indicating that it is active.

It would take ten experience points to light it up, and he had just killed a zombie and had extra experience points.

Light up!

My head throbbed again, and I felt as if some seal had been broken deep within my mind.

[Lightning Storm Lv.1 (0/10)]

Note: Condensing five bolts of lightning doubles the upgrade.

Great, it was worth staying up all night to level up.

This is the second large-area AOE skill after Blizzard, maximizing monster-killing efficiency, and it can be upgraded further.

He glanced at the experience required to level up, pursed his lips, and his obsessive-compulsive disorder kicked in. Since he was already here, he might as well max out the experience for the easier levels before leaving.

He turned off the panel and looked down at the ground.

The corpses of ants and zombies numbered in the millions, piled up layer upon layer to form a mountain of corpses.

He had been dead for almost ten hours, and his body had already begun to decompose, the stench carried far by the night wind.

At the edge of the mountain of corpses, countless black beetles emerged from the ground, dragging the bodies into the cave.

There are also mutant mosquitoes the size of fists that lay their eggs on rotting flesh, their wings vibrating to produce an annoying buzzing sound.

Looking at the mosquitoes, Shenhe immediately activated his supernatural power, preparing to use them to test his new skills.
