Chapter 395: Testing the Ability

The moment that Sammy heard that, he could not help but be dumbfounded. He had not expected that the person that had defeated him so easily was actually a rank ahead of him already.

It was also at this point that he finally understood the reason why he did not even have a chance of resisting when it came to Henry. After all, there was a difference in an entire rank. Although it might not be true that Henry was at level 8 of the diamond rank, but even just the difference between a level 8 of the gold rank and level 9 of the gold rank was extremely big.

So of course, he understood that even if Henry was at level 1 of the diamond rank, that implied that the difference between the two of them was more than just two levels.

He could not help but swallow at the thought of the difference between the two of them. If Henry really wanted to get rid of him, he would have actually just crushed him with a single attack. It was a good thing that Henry did not have the intention of attacking him, despite him being unreasonable.

And what was more, it was the fact that it was not just Henry, but instead, there was a group of them that was already in the diamond rank. And since Henry was the leader, could it be that he was extremely strong, stronger than the others that were already in the diamond rank? That implied that he had to be at least at level 2 of the diamond rank, right?

But how was it possible that they had already reached this level at this stage of the apocalypse? It was already difficult to be able to find an apocalyptic creature that was at level 9 of the gold rank, not to mention those that had already reached the diamond rank.

Could it be that they had encountered a good opportunity that enabled them to get stronger? If that was the case, then it was understandable why they had actually reached such a power level at this stage of the apocalypse.

Wendy observed Sammy’s reaction. And for some reason, she could not help but feel a little proud. After all, she had known about Henry and the others before Sammy. So, she could at least brag about them, because they were on the same side.

Deciding not to leave this chance go just like that, she continued, "And you know what, during the time that the territory was attacked by the zombies and the military at the same time, Henry and his group were the ones that came over and helped the territory overcome the doom that was already gazing at us."

"But that is not all. Henry is actually the leader’s fiancé. And then again, there is this strong guy who is also the leader’s twin brother. Just like Henry, he is already in the diamond rank."

At this moment, Sammy was already covered in sweat. It was a good thing that he was not dead. So, him being thrown away was definitely better than being killed off.

But then again, he was relieved the moment that he realized that there was an existing relationship between Henry and Alicia. It seemed that he was the one who had misunderstood Henry. Since he was Alicia’s fiancé, and he had come together with her twin brother, that implied that they were on the same side.

Sammy remained silent for quite a while. At this point, he was already thinking about what to do in order to make sure that he got back into Henry’s good graces.

He was loyal to Alicia, and since Henry was Alicia’s fiancé, that implied that the two of them were going to be tied together. So, it was better to make sure that he was not Henry’s enemy. Otherwise, it would not be impossible for Henry to make Alicia give up on him as a follower.

Other than the fact that Alicia had saved his life and he admired her, Sammy believed that as long as he followed Alicia, he was definitely going to be a person that was going to have great achievements in the future. So, he had to make sure that he did not become Alicia’s enemy in any way.

Just as the two of them were silently waiting out of the building, finally, two figures walked out of the building.

Wendy and Sammy could not help but be surprised. Of course they were surprised by the fact that Alex had actually woken up the moment that Henry had gone in. But of course, Wendy was just a little surprised, before she regained her composure.

According to the capability that Henry had shown so far, it was clear that something like this was not that much difficult. But still, she could not help but detect that there was a change that had occurred to Alex.

And when she looked at his information, she realized that he had already reached a level 9 of the silver rank. Such an improvement in strength was definitely related to Henry.

Sammy on the other hand immediately believed what Wendy had informed him about. The abilities that Henry possessed were definitely not things that could be underestimated.

During the time that he had been here, he had already realized that Alex was in a special condition. And no matter how many times he tried to wake up this guy, the guy did not wake up. But now, just after Henry had gone in for a few minutes, Alex had woken up.

After Henry arrived in front of the two, he simply informed Wendy about his decision. Of course, Wendy had to make arrangements on where they were going to deal with the zombies. Of course, that place had to be quite secluded from the location where people were present.

"I’ll deal with that immediately. It should not be difficult for us to be able to get a place where we can seclude about a thousand zombies." Wendy responded immediately. Then, the group went away from the place, leaving behind Sammy who was still trying to think about what he was supposed to do next.

...

After about an hour, all the arrangements had already been made, and Dylan with the collaboration of both Storm and Lenta had finally collected over 800 zombies. But of course, the levels of the zombies were not the same. The levels of the zombies ranged from level 9 of the Bronze rank to level 9 of the gold rank.

The level 9 gold rank Zombie had been abducted by Dylan who had gone into the zombies’ congregation area before he abducted it. He believed that it was going to be better that even a gold rank zombie, the one that was at the top of the food chain was used for the experiment.

Henry did not say anything about it. But for the first time, he really appreciated Dylan’s effort. With a level 9 gold rank zombie, they would be able to test Alex’s ability to the maximum possible.

The moment that they entered into a warehouse where they had brought all the zombies with their limbs already chained, Alex could not help but feel his body tremble a little.

But still, he managed to relax just after a while. It seemed that he was a little frightened by the aura that was being given out by the zombies present within the warehouse. After all, many of the zombies that had already reached the gold rank were already stronger than himself. So, the suppression that they possessed was not something that he could simply withstand easily.

"Let us start with the lowest ranking zombie." Henry stated. The moment that he said those words, Dylan brought over a zombie that was at level 9 of the Bronze rank.

The zombie was continuously struggling, but no matter how much it tried, it was not capable of breaking free from being held in position by Dylan.

Without any hint of fear on his face, Alex immediately approached the zombie. Then, he went ahead and placed his hand on top of the head of the zombie. After that, following the instructions that he received about the profession that he possessed during the moment that the profession was fully activated, he immediately activated the first skill, which was reversal.

The moment that the ability was activated, Alex felt that the energy in his body was being consumed. But nevertheless, the energy that was consumed was not that high considering but the zombie that he was currently casting the ability on was not stronger than himself.

Alex’s hand lit up with a red glow. The glow suddenly spread from the head of the zombie to its entire body. At this point, the zombie was already shaking as if it had faced a nemesis of its own.

It was not just the zombie that was facing Alex, but even the other zombies, including the zombies that had already reached the gold rank, all of them looked towards Alex with horror clear in their eyes. They had already understood the fact that Alex was extremely dangerous to them.

The zombie that had been casted on the effect of the ability that was activated by Alex glowed red the moment that the light covered its entire body. Then, the light sank into its body.

About 2 seconds later, the zombie collapse onto the ground before it began spasming. The shaking of the zombie was so intense that Henry could not help but wonder if the zombie was exaggerating things or not. At the same time, transformation began.
