Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

"Boom, boom, boom..." Just then, the Zombie King suddenly exploded.

"Whoosh~" A pitch-black, gleaming core flew out instantaneously, shooting towards Alex.

"Hmm!" Alex narrowed his eyes, quickly sidestepping a few steps, narrowly avoiding the core.

But the next second, the core mysteriously disappeared, and the very next moment, it unexpectedly reappeared behind Alex.

"Clack~" Alex swung his blade backward in a swift motion, slicing the core into two halves again, but it strangely fused back together.

"What is this?" Alex's eyes narrowed in focus. The core seemed to have its own consciousness, capable of splitting and recombining.

Alex was taken aback, realizing this was because the Zombie King's level was extremely high, which endowed its core with its own sentience.

A thought crossed Alex's mind, and the Red Lotus mark on his wrist appeared, followed by the ethereal silhouette of Red Lotus materializing in front of him.

"Whoosh~" The silhouette of Red Lotus transformed into a crimson dagger, easily piercing through the bizarre core.

The core let out a piteous scream and then quickly disintegrated.

"Splat..." As the core shattered, Alex felt a surge of immense power flooding into his body, giving him a warm sensation.

The power was very pure, not like the energy from the outside world, which is often mixed with impurities; it was quite gentle and immediately merged with Alex's body upon entering.

"This..." Alex's eyes widened in astonishment as he discovered that this power was transforming his body.

"Boom!" Suddenly, Alex shivered, and a faint red glow emanated from his body.

He felt his strength had doubled, albeit by a small margin, but it was a real increase. Alex was overjoyed, not expecting to turn misfortune into a blessing by absorbing this energy and enhancing his strength.

"Roar~"

The Zombie King howled angrily and charged at Alex.

Alex was incredibly agile. With a light tap of his foot, he soared into the air.

"Swish~"

With a swift movement, Alex dodged the Zombie King's claw.

"Boom!"

Alex kicked the Zombie King in the head, sending it flying hundreds of meters away before it crashed to the ground, unconscious.

"Roar!"

Alex was thrilled, swinging his long blade and slashing at the zombies running towards him from a distance. In the blink of an eye, five or six zombies lay dead.

"Whew~"

Alex gasped for breath, his body covered in wounds, some bones even fractured, and blood flowed from numerous injuries.

"What place is this?"

Alex looked around with a puzzled expression, his gaze turning grave as he saw the dense swarm of zombies in the distance. Continue your adventure with empire

"Am I going to be trapped here forever?"

Alex's expression darkened, his eyes cold and stern.

Suddenly, his pupils contracted.

He noticed that the zombies were gathering together, as if waiting for something.

Then, a dazzling red light suddenly flared up, followed by a loud explosion.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, Alex turned his head and was shocked to find that the Zombie King had been blown to smithereens.

"Hiss..."

Alex inhaled sharply. What kind of weapon was this, to be so terrifying?

It not only obliterated the Zombie King but also caused the surrounding zombies to scatter in fear.

"Swoosh~"

Suddenly, a streak of silver light appeared, rushing towards Alex.

Alex's face changed, and in a panic, he raised his long blade to defend.

"Ding~" Sparks flew as Alex felt a vibration in his palm, nearly losing his grip on the long blade.

Simultaneously, a woman slowly emerged. She appeared to be in her twenties, dressed in a sleek black outfit that accentuated her curvaceous figure and fair skin. Her beauty was stunning, and her face was ice-cold, like frost.

"Who are you?" Alex watched the woman warily, his eyes filled with deep wariness.

"What does it matter to you who I am!" The woman's brow was marked with a deadly aura, "Today, I am here to avenge those who died in vain."

As her words fell, she drew the sword from her waist and charged at Alex.

"Whoosh~" A chilling blade aura tore through the air, aimed viciously at Alex's neck.

"Such a fierce sword move!" Alex was startled and quickly retreated, barely dodging the sharp attack.

"Whizz!" The woman's sword missed its mark. Holding her sword, she lunged at Alex again.

Alex's gaze darkened, and he met her attack head-on.

"Clang, clang, clang..." In an instant, Alex and the woman were locked in combat.

The longer Alex fought with the woman, the more serious his expression became. Her strength was formidable, and he could not gain any advantage; he even seemed to be slightly at a disadvantage.

"Bang!" The woman seized an opportunity to strike Alex's chest, causing him to stagger back several steps to regain his balance.

For some reason, taking advantage of the moment, the woman ran into the forest. Without a word, Alex followed. After about half an hour, he followed her to a deserted mansion built before the great disaster, now looking much neglected.

The woman had disappeared, and Alex entered the mansion alone.

As soon as he stepped into the luxurious villa, a piercing shriek echoed through the house, followed by a furious force sweeping towards Alex.

Alex's face changed dramatically, and he quickly withdrew.

"Bang~"

Just as Alex moved from his original spot, a piece of the ceiling crashed down, instantly bursting apart and sending dust everywhere.

Alex breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that had he been hit, he might not have died but would have been severely injured.

Taking several deep breaths to calm the pounding in his heart, Alex continued to venture deeper into the house.

He walked cautiously, feeling as though there was some kind of barrier around, making him uncomfortable.

Alex frowned and lifted his feet, heading towards the innermost part of the villa.

"Swish~"

Suddenly, a silver-white whip shot out from the side, startling Alex, who quickly sidestepped.

"Clang~"

Alex stepped on a stone tile which then violently burst apart.

"What in the world is this!" Alex muttered, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

"Crack."

Another silver-white whip slashed from the side.

Alex reacted swiftly, his body moving quickly, barely dodging the attack.

Every few seconds, another silver-white whip would lash out. These whips were incredibly fast and powerful, and Alex could not afford to take them head-on.

Alex's face turned increasingly grim as he dodged the relentless attacks of the silver-white whips.

His patience was wearing thin, and his mood grew more irritable.

"Boom~"

Suddenly, Alex stiffened, his eyes widening as he stared ahead as if he had seen a ghost.
