Chapter 403: Strengthening the Territory

Of course Henry had already taken care of the matter. Since Alicia was currently not present, as the only public figure that was quite well known within the territory, Wendy had decided to take action.

She was the one that was in charge of making sure that everything was in position. And all those that misbehaved, trying to take advantage of the situation were severely punished.

Due to this routine, the majority of the people that had been trying to cause chaos in the territory could not help but keep a low profile. They understood one thing, if they decided to do it, they were definitely going to die.

Adam had already woken up from the overexertion of his body during the time that he was fighting against the goblin. He had already leveled up, reaching level 4 of the diamond rank. This was to be expected considering that he had killed a level 5 diamond rank goblin.

Well, of course, it was going to be impossible for him to be able to level up by two levels just after killing a level 5 Diamond rank apocalyptic creature. The only reason why he had been able to level up by two levels was simply because he was very close to reaching level 3 of the diamond rank before the fight against the goblin.

Together with the boost that the humans had received during this stage of the apocalypse, after killing the goblin, he was able to level up by two levels, enabling him to reach level 4 of the diamond rank. This was a substantial increase in his strength.

Adam immediately joined Dylan and two of Henry’s summoned creatures in collecting the zombies. He also understood the importance of preparations, considering that the balance that was existing within this city had already been broken, and it was bound that there was going to be a large scale battle that was going to occur very soon.

All the zombies were brought and placed in the same area. This was just to ensure that none of them managed to reach the place where people resided. This way, the zombie virus would not spread within the territory.

As for those people that were converted back from being zombies by Alex, they were separated from the rest of the people, being quarantined in an area. None of them was allowed to leave the place until Henry had made sure that there was nothing abnormal about them.

But just as one could expect, since Henry had decided that they were going to recover their full memories of the time that they were zombies, many people had already ended up committing suicide. There was even an incident where several people went mad and began attacking all those that were around them.

It was a good thing that Henry was present, and he was able to neutralize the problem before any big losses occurred.

Other than dealing with the matter of the zombies being converted into humans, Henry had also gone ahead and began upgrading several things within the territory. During the next fight, Henry had to ensure that they possessed the greatest advantage, to ensure that the losses that they were going to suffer were going to be as low as possible.

So, he went ahead and upgraded several vehicles within the territory that were controlled by Wendy, who decided on who was going to receive the vehicle.

Despite the fact that all those that received the advanced vehicles were completely surprised after receiving the vehicles together with the skill scroll that enabled them to know how to control the vehicle, they did not say anything after realizing that this matter was kind of related to Henry and the others.

They understood one thing, Henry and the others were extremely strong. It was due to the presence of that group of people that they had not been making much of a ruckus when the zombies were being continuously brought into the territory.

Additionally, they had received some rumors that those zombies that were being brought over were being converted into humans. That way, the number of people within the territory was rising, and the power of the territory was also increasing.

In just a matter of 4 days, Henry had completely transformed the entire territory. Although it was true that he had not taken over the territory, he had decided that the moment that Alicia was going to wake up, he was going to take over the territory from her.

This way, he would be able to make even more better changes. Since he had already arrived home, he had decided that he was going to start with this city as the center, before conquering as many cities as possible in preparations for the final battle of domination.

...

Just like any other day, Henry was present within a warehouse that had been constructed at an incredible speed due to the abilities that those that possess the construction profession possessed.

The warehouse was extremely big, and it was built in a simple manner, making it easy to be completed within just 2 days. And within this building, there was a very large number of zombies that had been congregated here, and all of them were locked in position due to the intimidation of the aura that Alex was giving.

Alex only realized that he possessed an ability of immobilizing the zombies after he reached the diamond rank. It seemed that as long as he was extremely strong, stronger than any zombie, he was definitely capable of making them immobile just by releasing his aura.

So, the zombies that had been brought over did not need to be restrained by anybody else for him to complete the conversion. Moreover, since he was dealing with a large scale conversion, Alex would definitely not go around touching each and every zombie that was brought over, considering that there were over 10,000 zombies present within the warehouse at this moment.

Alex was standing at the very center of the group of zombies, who had already spread out a little, giving him enough space.

Alex closed his eyes as he mobilized the energy within his body, and activated the second ability. The moment that he activated the ability, his right hand began glowing with an intense red light.

Without hesitation, Alex placed his hand onto the ground. The moment that his hand touched the ground, the red light began spreading out at an incredible speed.

Then, the red light began covering the bodies of the zombies in the surrounding areas from their feet to the top of their heads. Then, just like always, the red light sunk into their bodies, before the large number of zombies collapsed down to the ground as they began spasming.

After a while, all the zombies present within the place had already been converted back into humans. But of course, the place was kind of chaotic. Many people had already lost their minds after realizing that they had been eating human flesh to survive all the past few months.

But of course, there was no lack of people that possess extremely strong willpower. Despite understanding the fact that they had been eating humans for several months, although they had been disgusted at that thought, they just went on with how it was. After all, this was the apocalypse, and many things went against people’s expectations.

After about 10 minutes, Henry and the others were able to control the entire population. After that, the population was sent towards another direction, out of the warehouse to where they were going to stay.

But of course, just to ensure that they did not rush out of that place, the place where they had set residences for them was tightly protected. That was because this group of people was still undergoing observation before they were allowed to join the other normal people.

After this group of people left the warehouse, another group of zombies was brought over again. And just like before, Alex went ahead and continued with the conversion.

Henry was already thinking about how much combat power the territory had gotten a boost in. Currently, the number of gold rank zombies that they had converted so far had already gone past 1000.

And of course, Henry had decided on one thing, and that was all the zombies that were brought over had to possess a very high rank. That way, they would be able to boost the power of the territory in the shortest time possible.

Something that Henry had observed about this group of people that was converted back from being zombies into humans was the fact that after the conversion, they did not possess any profession.

So, they had to select a profession by themselves before they could continue leveling up. Otherwise, no matter what they did, no matter how many apocalyptic creatures they killed, they would not be able to level up.

It was a good thing that after killing several apocalyptic creatures, even if they were not capable of leveling up on the spot due to the lack of the professions, as long as they selected the professions, they would be able to level up using the energy that they had accumulated by killing the apocalyptic creatures.

Henry was currently going through the system store, purchasing as many skills scrolls as possible. He understood that in order for the territory to get stronger, it was not just a matter of having better equipment, it was also a matter or possessing strong personal strength.

The next part of Henry’s plan was to make sure that those people that had been converted from being zombies possessed skills. After all, all the skills that they possessed during the time the they were zombies disappeared, despite the fact that they retained their full power level.

But at this moment, Wendy came over with an anxious expression on her face. Henry looked at her and asked, "What’s wrong? Is there any movement from the forces around us?"
