Chapter 312: Dealt With

"How troublesome it is." At this point, a cold snort reached the ears of the three.

Nelson was a little surprised because he had not been expecting that there was going to be a person that was going to approach them from behind. He had simply been focused on Julie, that he even forgot about Adam and the rest of the people that belonged to the territory that he had planned to attack.

He had not expected that Adam was going to kill all the mutants zombies so quickly. As for the zombie that he was using for security, it was busy trying to deal with Julie.

If this was a normal situation, he would have definitely been capable of detecting Adam approaching. But right now, he was late, because Adam was just behind him. As he turned around, trying to create a distance between them, Adam suddenly grabbed him by the neck.

Nelson tried resisting several times, but he could not compete with Adam when it came to physical strength. One had to know that Adam was a berserker, one that focused on physical strength. Additionally, he had managed to get something that enabled him to have his physical strength being improved to the same level as his current power level.

So, in Adam’s grasp, Nelson was like a helpless chicken grabbed by the neck, trying to break free from the hand of an adult.

When Nelson realized that it was impossible for him to break free from Adam’s grasp, he decided to use his ability. Although he was not physically strong, that did not mean that he was weak either. He possessed the mind ability, and although he only possessed a single attacking skill, that did not mean that it was not powerful enough.

Mobilizing the energy that was in his body, Nelson targeted Adam’s mind. At the same time, he activated the mind laser.

On the other side, the zombie had already realized that Nelson was in trouble. So, it had stopped focusing on dealing with Julie, trying to retreat so that it could help Nelson. But, how could Julie allow that to happen? Although she was currently injured, that did not mean that she was not capable of keeping the zombie with her.

So, she continuously attacked the zombie. It might be true that she was not good at close combat, but still, the zombie was simply focusing on going back to help Nelson from getting killed by Adam.

Since it was focusing on doing that, it was not capable of exhibiting all of its strength. Additionally, it had already been previously injured by Adam, so it was not at its peak condition.

On the other side, the moment that Adam realized that Nelson was about to activate a skill, he did not hesitate to increase the strength of his grasp. At the same time, he mobilized the energy present in his body, trying to counter attack whatever it was that Nelson was going to activate.

He could not see the skills that Nelson possessed. And due to that reason, he was extremely cautious of him. So, he decided not to give Nelson any chance, in case he had several trump cards that he was hiding.

The moment that he Increased the strength of his grasp, somehow, he was capable of preventing Nelson from completing the activation of the mind laser skill.

Due to that reason, somehow, Nelson suffered from a backlash from failing to activate the skill. After all, it was kind of difficult and complicated when it came to dealing with mind-related abilities.

At the same time as he increased the strength of his grasp, Adam did not hesitate to use his battle axe to attack. The speed at which he attacked was not something that Nelson could resist.

Splatter! Crack!

With the battle axe hitting the target, Nelson’s arm was chopped off. At the same time, the cracking sound of bones could be heard as Nelson’s neck was crushed.

Nelson’s body twitched several times, before it finally stopped. Adam relaxed a little, before looking towards the direction of the zombie that was charging over, having finally managed to break free from Julie’s constraints.

At the same time as he looked towards the zombie, he realized that there was a prompt that had appeared in front of him. Additionally, he could feel that his strength was continuously being increased. It was clear that he had finally managed to level up.

Initially, he was at level one of the gold rank. But right now, he had managed to reach level 3 of the gold rank. Of course this was all due to the fact that he had dealt with nine zombies that were at level 2 of the gold rank, together with Nelson who was at level 3 of the gold rank.

Had it been before the descent of the third stage of the apocalypse, he would have only been capable of reaching the second level of the gold rank. But due to the advantage that was given to the humans, he was capable of reaching the third level of the gold rank.

After he was done with that, Adam looked towards Julie. He couldn’t help but ask worriedly, "Are you alright?"

Currently, there was blood that was leaking out of Julie’s mouth. It was clear that during the time that she was trying to prevent the zombie from attacking Adam, she was injured. This was to be expected considering that Julie was initially injured by Nelson, and she was not that good at close combat.

"I’m okay. I have already taken the healing potion. It should not take me long to be able to heal back to my peak condition." Julie responded in an almost emotionless voice.

Immediately after she said that, she began retreating, getting back into the shadows.

When Adam saw that, he remained silent, not saying anything. This was something that he had already gotten used to during the past 2 months that they had spent together.

Additionally, Julie was an assassin. So, it was not strange if she was going to hide again. The profession that she had chosen required her to look for opportune moments in order to be able to attack.

After Julie disappeared behind a building, Adam turned around, and looked towards the battlefield. During the time that he had been fighting against the mutant zombies, the group of people behind him had already managed to clear out more than half of the zombies that had attacked.

But still, the number of casualties was still increasing. This was something that Adam had already been expecting. So, he was not surprised when he saw several burnt bodies on the ground.

Without hesitation, he charged into the group of zombies, before he began dealing with them. With his assistance, it was not that difficult for the group of humans from the territory to be able to deal with the zombies.

Additionally, with the leader of the zombies already dealt with, the zombies that were attacking in a formation before, had suddenly turned into mindless creatures that attacked without a plan.

This had immediately relieved the group of people that were defending a lot of pressure. Added to the advantage that the zombies had possessed before, the numerical advantage, with a strategy, it was definitely putting a lot of pressure on the humans.

But right now, the morale was extremely high. After all, the leader of the zombies had already been taken care of. Additionally, even those elite zombies that were at the gold rank had already been taken care of, something that gave the others the motivation that they had to level up as well.

With the advantage that they had gained, being capable of leveling up easier than before, the majority of the people had already begun leveling up, enabling them to be able to gain advantage over zombies.

Henry on the other hand had been observing everything from the top of the wall. He did not make any move this time. It was not simply due to the fact that he believed that Adam was capable of dealing with Nelson and the group of zombies, but it was also due to the fact that Adam needed this.

For himself, with the system space, he was capable of improving his combat experience. But it was completely different for Adam and the rest of the group.

For them, it was the battle in real life that was going to be able to increase their experience. They had to face several dangerous situations in order to be able to improve themselves.

It was not as if he was going to be present every time that they were going to face danger. So, it was better if they got accustomed to dealing with problems by themselves, rather than simply depending on him. If he kept on dealing with every trouble that came their way, they were going to become accustomed to him helping them.

But this was the apocalypse. It was better for them to get used to handling problems by themselves. After all, nobody could tell what was going to happen tomorrow. So, it was better for them to be prepared for anything. That was especially so if they were strong enough.

With the main strength of the zombies already taken care of, it could be said that they had already dealt with the problem with the zombies. No, all that they had to do was to deal with the other zombies that were present in the city.

After that, he was going to see if he was going to be capable of going to Hillstown city, to check on his family. It had already been long enough, and the dangers that they had experienced until now had increased drastically. It was better if he got there as soon as possible, to ensure their safety.
