The Soul System in the Apocalypse
Chapter 284: Backup, An Idiot

Chapter 284: Backup, An Idiot

It was the backup that was supposed to be coming over, coming over only after the battle had ended. When he noticed them, Vincent could not help but feel his lips twitching.

This group of people were coming over right now, which was something that was supposed to be good in case Henry and his group were not here. But right now, with Henry and his group being here, they had managed to deal with the zombies, rather than the zombies dealing with them.

It was clear to him that there was someone that was playing a trick, trying to make sure that he suffered losses. It was not that easy to be able to gain people that were going to work under him. And in case his powers reduced, that implied that there was someone that was going to get an advantage somehow.

Vincent decided that he was going to deal with this matter later on. But for now, they had to think of a way that they were going to deal with this creature that had appeared here. It was clear that this creature was here with an aim, and the killing intent that was directed towards them was not something that they felt comfortable with.

Additionally, from his point of view, it seemed that this creature was waiting for something to happen. And in case that something happened, it was definitely going to attack them.

He himself had already realized that he did not have the capability of dealing with this creature. But were Henry and his group capable of doing that? Quite curious, he decided to look at the information about this creature.

[Giant mutant zombie

Power level: Level 1 gold rank

Skills: ???]

The moment that the information about the giant that was standing outside of the territory was displayed in front of his eyes, Vincent suddenly froze. He had not expected that there was going to be a creature this strong that was going to appear in this place.

It had already reached the gold rank! It was no wonder that he felt that he was not capable of dealing with it! At this moment, Vincent’s heart began racing suddenly.

Inside the entire territory, he did not know of anybody that had already reached the gold rank. As for the leader of the territory, just like Olivia and the others, he could not see information about her. But still, he was sure that she had not yet reached the gold rank.

Otherwise, why would she continue arguing with the other territories if she could just go ahead and deal with the leaders of those territories? At this stage of the apocalypse, the majority of the people always followed those that were strong, believing that they would be capable of protecting them.

So, if the leader of this territory was capable of dealing with the others, that implied that she was stronger than them, giving her the capability of protecting them way better than the others.

"What is happening now?" Vincent asked himself in a low voice. He did not know what it was that the zombies were planning, but still, he felt that there was something that was going to change within this city.

Although it was true that the zombies usually attacked them regularly, but still, they had never attacked them on a large scale as compared to the one that they had attacked them with today. And other than that, this was the first time that he was seeing this giant in this city.

This creature had not been spotted by anyone during the entire time that they were going out of the city, trying to look for food and so on. But right now, it had appeared. Although it had come from the ground, Vincent believed that there was no way that it was going to continue hiding in the ground the entire time.

There had to be a time that it came above the ground, and he was sure that there was someone who would have already seen it if the creature was present. But until now, there was no report about spotting this creature.

Of course Vincent was not the only person who was capable of seeing the information about this creature. All those that had reached the bronze rank possessed the capability of seeing information about other creatures.

Due to that reason, everybody who was observing the creature had already seen information about it. And looking at the power level, they immediately realized that this time, they were in deep trouble.

The gold rank. That was something that they had only been hearing about, but they had not seen anybody that was at that level. That implied that if this creature decided to attack, then, there was nobody that was going to be capable of dealing with it.

Since that was the case, didn’t that mean that they were going to be killed? Didn’t that mean that the families that they were out here, fighting for, were going to get killed as well? At this moment, despair had already surged into the hearts of those that were observing at this moment.

The excited atmosphere that was present not long ago due to the fact that they had won against the zombies had completely disappeared and was replaced by a very solemn one.

Even as the people that were supposed to give them backup came over, nobody was hyped at all. The existence of the new group of people that had come over was completely ignored by those that were observing the creature.

And those newcomers were also surprised when they looked at the group of people that were standing at the entrance of the territory. Initially, they had been expecting that there was going to be a big fight that was still progressing until now.

But looking at this group of people that were standing there, as if there was nothing that they were supposed to be doing right now, they could not help but get curious at what they were looking at outside of the territory.

On top of the wall, Vincent observed as a person came over. This was a man who possessed black hair. But there were some hints of gray in his hair, indicating that he was not a young person.

He was currently wearing a black armor that completely covered his body. Just like Vincent, the level of the armor that he was putting on was the highest that could be seen around.

This was the leader of the group that had come over to give them back up. He possessed too the same position as Vincent, a commander.

When he arrived on top of the wall, he did not even focus on what was going on outside of the territory. But instead, he looked at Vincent with a smirk at the corner of his lips.

"I hope that we are not that late." The man stated sarcastically. But as he said those words, there was not even a single hint of apology on his face. Instead, what was on his face at this moment was mockery.

Vincent did not respond to him at all. But instead, he focused on something more important, and that was the creature that was out of the territory. Why would he focus on a petty person like this man, when there was a big problem that needed to be dealt with outside of the territory?

When the man was completely ignored, he was of course angry. It was true that the two of them held the same positions, and he was not superior to Vincent, but still, he felt that he was supposed to be holding a high position as compared to Vincent.

Before the apocalypse, in the military, he was above Vincent when it came to the military position, although he was not in the same group with Vincent. So, he wanted it to continue being so. But right now, they were holding the same position, something that made him completely uncomfortable.

Had it not been for the fact that in this territory, not only the power level determined the position that a person held, but experience was also quite required. And in fact, in this territory, there was a group of people that were almost at the same level as them, but they did not possess a position like this.

But of course, they received a lot of privileges within the territory, something that satisfied them. So, they did not start causing trouble because they did not receive a group of subordinates to lead.

Quite curious about what it was that Vincent was focusing on, the man turned around and looked towards the outside of the territory. And the moment that he looked outside, his eyes narrowed.

"Eh? Where are the zombies?" The man exclaimed as he asked in surprise. Although he had seen the group of people that were standing at the entrance of the territory, he had thought that they were standing there simply because they were retreating from the battlefield.

According to the information that he had received about the number of zombies that was going to attack this time, he had expected that the number of casualties was going to be high, and it was obvious that Vincent’s group was going to be overwhelmed.

But right now, everything was completely different. He could only see corpses on the ground, but he could not see any zombie that was moving around at all.

Vincent who was standing next to him nearly wanted to slap this guy. All that this guy was thinking about was the zombies? Like seriously, there was a giant creature that was standing outside of the territory, but this guy could not see it?

According to what Vincent thought, if anybody came and stood on top of the wall, they would be able to see that creature first, before focusing on the surrounding areas. But this guy was doing the exact opposite. And as if to make the matters worse, the guy spoke again.

"If you have already dealt with the zombies, what are those kids still doing outside of the territory?" The man asked as he looked at Henry and his group.
