Chapter 231: Halfling Zombie
Chapter 231: Halfling Zombie
Livingstone was currently standing at the forefront of the army that the camp possessed. Currently, the camp actually possessed more than 300,000 people. And out of these 300,000 people, the ones that were out to fight were over 250,000.
Of course, this was completely against logic considering that out of all these over 250,000 people, not every one of them possessed the combat profession.
But, considering the fact that not long ago, the red mist had actually affected them, and enabled the majority of them to become bronze rank awakeners, Livingstone completely disregarded the fact that they were actually not meant for fighting, and decided that they were going to fight.
Of course, the majority of the people here were actually against fighting. But, they had no choice. Other than the fact that they were being forced to do so, there was also yet another fact that if they did not fight, they might actually end up dead.
In this category, even the children were actually involved. It was only those that were 10 years and below that were not allowed to fight. As for the rest of the people, they had to fight, no matter if they wanted or not.
When Livingstone saw that the zombies were no longer approaching, he decided that if they did not make a move, then, they were not going to do so. Currently, they possessed an advantage because they had already created several barricades that they were going to use to their advantage in order to defend.
They were already having a disadvantage when it came to the numbers. And now, they were having a home advantage, and they had already been preparing for the past 2 hours. And for that reason, he was not willing to give up the advantage that they were possessing.
Additionally, he was not actually sure about the real aim of the zombies coming over. And, from the way that they were acting, it was clear that there was someone that was actually controlling them.
So, he decided to remain silent, watching everything carefully. In case the zombies decided to make a move, then, he would actually not hesitate to attack as well. But, he was going to attack while defending at the same time, but, he was going to prioritize on defending.
Just as he was strategizing on what he was going to do, the zombies actually parted, revealing a figure that was walking forward.
Livingstone’s eyes squinted as he looked at the figure that had appeared. And, although the distance between the two sides was about 300 m, since Livingstone was actually a level 6 Bronze rank mutant warrior, he was capable of seeing the appearance of the other party.
And the moment that he realized who it was, he could not help but be a little surprised. After all, this was actually one of the enemies that he had actually believed that he had killed. But surprisingly, this guy was here, alive and kicking. Moreover, he had come over with zombies?
"Wilfred? What the heck are you doing here?" Livingstone question loudly. Since the distance between the two of them was quite huge, he had to use the top of his voice in order to be able to communicate with the other party.
But instead of responding, Wilfred just continued approaching. And, after he arrived at a distance of 100 m away from Livingstone’s group, he finally stopped. It was also during this time that the other low level members of the camp could finally see the appearance of the person in front of them.
This person was currently wearing a long overcoat that covered his body. But, below the overcoat, there was a pair of black sweatpants. As for a shirt, he was not wearing any. His skin was kind of pale, as if it did not possess any blood.
There was a wound on his left chest where the heart was located. It was just that, the wound had actually rotten already.
As for the hair, it had already been dyed with blood, and this guy was so dirty. He was not wearing any shoes, just stepping barefooted onto the ground.
His eyes were kind of misty, and at the same time, having a hint of green within them. And currently, his eyes were filled with both resentment and killing intent as he looked at Livingstone.
"Oh, it seems that you have not forgotten about me. Are you surprised that I am still alive after you actually tried to kill me?" Opening his lips, Wilfred spoke in a voice that was spooky and coarse.
After finishing saying that, his lips curled into a smile. But, it was just that, this smile was actually not out of happiness, but, it was full of resentment and contempt.
Livingstone did not respond to that. It was obvious that he himself was quite surprised that Wilfred was here. During the time that he had gained power, he had actually made sure to eliminate all the enemies that he possessed during the time that the world was normal.
Of course, Wilfred was his biggest enemy at that time. During campaigns, it was this Wilfred that had caused him a lot of trouble, going to the extent of actually kidnapping his youngest son, who was unlucky not to have made it in this apocalypse.
And after that incident, there was a grudge that existed between the two sides. And, since he possessed the advantage, Livingstone used that advantage to the maximum, and went ahead and stabbed Wilfred personally. That was to make sure that he paid for the death of his son.
And, he did not make sure that this guy had died. Instead, he left him behind after attracting a group of zombies. He had left a dagger that was lodged deep into the heart of this guy, to make sure that he did not die faster. He wanted him to experience the pain of being chewed by the zombies.
But, he had never expected that this guy was going to survive, and, for some reason, he had come over with the zombies. Additionally, his appearance was completely different from the meticulous and elegant appearance that he possessed before the apocalypse descended.
"Hehe! Don’t worry, I will deal with you later on. But still, there’s something that I really want you to know. Currently, I have joined the zombie race. And as you can see right now, I am half zombie half human. It was due to the grace of a high ranking zombie that I remained alive, to stand in front of you." Wilfred laughed a little, before he stated.
His words surprised Livingstone and the group behind him. They had not expected that the zombies were actually capable of saving a person. Additionally, this guy was actually a half human and half zombie?
Curious, Livingstone and many other people immediately used the ability that they possessed after reaching the bronze rank, to look at the information on Wilfred. And the moment that they did that, they could not help but be surprised by the information that was revealed in front of them.
[Wilfred
Race: Halfling Zombie
Power level: N/A
Skills: ???]
They realized that Wilfred was a halfling zombie. And other than that, there was this matter about his power level that they did not actually understand. It stated clearly that it was not applicable, something that they were seeing for the first time.
"Hehe! Are you surprised that my race changed from being a human to a halfling zombie? Don’t be. As for the matter of my power level, that is the sacrifice that I had to make." Wilfred chuckled with resentment as he stated.
Then, looking at Livingstone, he said, "You know, at that time, when you left me behind to die, I thought that I was really going to die. But, after the zombies bit me, something changed.
Instead of actually being killed by the zombies, I began transforming at that time because of the hatred that I possessed for you. But as I transformed, I felt that my consciousness was about to disappear. It was clear that I was not going to survive because of the knife that had stabbed my heart.
Of course, as we all know, the zombies are practically dead, with only the brain working. But, at that time, I was definitely not going to be able to survive until the transformation completed. And, if I transformed after I had died, I would have become a mindless zombie.
But it was just then that a zombie of a high position appeared. He gave me a chance, to join their zombie race and work for them. And, if I agreed, I was going to be given several benefits.
Of course, since I was already on the verge of my death, I could not refuse an offer that gave me the chance of living, to be able to kill you.
I don’t know what it was that he did, but, I was able to be the way that I am right now. I can think logically, and the heart that was destroyed by you was actually repaired. It is just that, all the other parts of my body are practically dead, though I don’t understand how I am capable of controlling them.
But, to become this way, I had to sacrifice one thing. And that was, I would never be capable of advancing. That was the sacrifice that I had to make in order to be able to have a heart. So currently, I really don’t have the strength that you guys possess, and I’m just like a normal human." Wilfred explained with his bitterness and resentment increasing with each statement that he said.
"But now, you can be considered lucky. I am not going to kill you right now, but, I’m here to give you a chance. It is obviously not my choice, but I have been instructed to give you a chance. Are you willing to hear it?" Looking at the dumbfounded crowd In front of him, Wilfred felt a little pleased. Still, he went ahead and stated the aim of him coming over.
