Apocalypse King System
Chapter 128 128: Sensation Caused by Psychic Breakthrough

Although the cleared areas were somewhat safer, it didn't mean they could act recklessly, especially for newcomers like Sacha, who had no experience in killing zombies. They proceeded cautiously, knowing that the female warriors following them were not there to act as babysitters.

While the female warriors were busy expanding the base and clearing out zombies, Derick had already used his electric abilities to reach the city center. After enjoying a meal of mother-and-daughter hotpot yesterday, he wasn't entirely indulging in the comfort zone but was preparing to enhance his psychic abilities here.

In the city center of Grizzly...

Derick walked along a street that used to be one of the most luxurious places in Grizzly before the apocalypse. It used to be crowded with people, filled with various luxury goods and shopping malls. Now, it was only filled with roaring hordes of zombies, along with ruins, burnt-out cars, and bloodstains everywhere. The once bustling world had turned into ruins, and the entire world seemed to have quieted down considerably.

"Found it, it's right here..." Derick smiled slightly as he looked at the words "China Sea Tower" above him and strode in.

Arriving at the top of the tallest building in the entire city of Grizzly, he looked at the quiet city below and slowly closed his eyes, activating his psychic abilities within him. His whole body began to shine with the brilliance of lightning, and a massive amount of lightning began to shuttle around the top of the building, making Derick look like a volatile ball of lightning.

With a forceful push of his hands, a muffled thunderclap sounded as he leaped directly from the sky, then dispersed, like a thunderstorm, with dense thunder roaring and spreading further away before falling.

Boom!

Crackling sounds filled the air!

Centered around the China Sea Tower where Derick was located, it was as if a thunderstorm had descended within a radius of ten kilometers. The fierce thunderbolts rained down like celestial beings scattering flowers, shooting in all directions.

Thousands of dispersed lightning bolts accurately struck the top of every zombie's head, piercing their skulls and directly destroying the vitality within them, shattering their brains. The headless zombies fell to the ground, unaware of what had happened.

At this moment, intense sonic booms spread rapidly in all directions.

The tremendous commotion was akin to a thunderstorm within a ten-kilometer radius, almost more stimulating than the mushroom cloud from a missile explosion. The visual effects were also more intense, to the extent that many survivors in the suburbs, dozens of kilometers away from the city center, witnessed this apocalyptic scene.

"Congratulations, host, on killing a level one zombie. You have earned one point, with a total of 25,668 points and 56,333/100,000 psychic experience."

"Congratulations, host, on killing a level one zombie. You have earned one point, with a total of 86,990 points and 98,641/100,000 psychic experience."

...

"Congratulations, host, on advancing to psychic level lv6."

Almost a continuous stream of notifications flooded Derick's screen. He had to close the system interface to avoid the overwhelming notifications. His thunderstorm attack had essentially swept through the zombies within a ten-kilometer radius, killing all zombies below level three and earning him over a hundred thousand points and psychic experience. His psychic level had also surged to level 6. Another upgrade would require 500,000 points, but it wasn't far off. A few more thunderstorms like this and he would be set.

This kind of tactic is not suitable for large-scale use within a city, because its power is too great and easily affects the remaining survivors. Take the recent thunderstorm as an example: all living creatures within a radius of 10 kilometers, including any insects, rats, and mosquitoes hiding in the ground, were killed by the piercing electricity. There were few organisms left alive in Mirror Lake under such force. Under this level of power, not to mention ordinary people, even heavily fortified female warriors would find it almost impossible to survive.

If it weren't for the lack of survivors in the city center, Derick wouldn't have used this thunderstorm attack so recklessly. Not only did it deplete all of his psychic energy, but its power was terrifying to the extreme. Even without carrying a nuclear warhead, the effect was akin to a missile strike.

Looking at the streets after the thunderstorm bombardment, Derick couldn't help but marvel at the charred marks everywhere and the countless zombie bodies piled up like small mountains. However, even though this attack killed tens of thousands of zombies, it was only a small fraction of the several million zombies in the entire Grizzly area.

Clutching his fist, feeling the power in his hand, the upgraded level 6 lightning psychic ability felt much stronger. He felt confident that he could release the thunderstorm attack at least a dozen more times without any issues. Meanwhile, his psychic energy had grown several times over, and the power within him was becoming increasingly enhanced by the upgraded lightning psychic ability. He even felt that he could now crush a building with just his physical strength.

Ten minutes earlier, when Derick unleashed the thunderstorm, several women who had received his psychic transmission seemed to sense something and simultaneously rushed out of the building, facing the direction of the city center.

As they looked at the scene in the distance, where the dense lightning pushed through the clouds, flashing with a blue light that was almost blinding, the vast and awe-inspiring power made all intelligent beings tremble with fear. Countless zombie birds screeched and fled from the center of the thunderstorm.

Looking at the dazzling lightning that almost changed the color of the sky and earth, as well as the unparalleled and almost god-like power, Lisa broke out in a cold sweat, deeply shaken in her heart.

"Is this... Is this the Lord's psychic ability evolving?" Lisa asked, her voice trembling with fear.

Feeling the familiar aura emanating from the distant thunderstorm, Angelica felt a sense of calm. "Yes, it should be his ability upgrading," she replied.

"Everyone, calm down. There's no need to panic. This is just the Lord breaking through... there's nothing to worry about," Angelica reassured the fearful maids in the base. The earth-shattering power had even caused them to feel a sense of panic.

Angelica's words did bring some relief to the maids, but it was quickly followed by deep astonishment and disbelief, along with intense shock. They had witnessed Angelica's extraordinary power before, which was almost inhuman, and she had once brought down a small building with a single thunderstorm attack. However, compared to the thunderstorm covering a radius of over ten kilometers and reaching hundreds of meters high today, it was incomparable.

The distant thunderstorm gradually subsided, and although the people were far away, it seemed as if they could see a god-like figure standing in the center of the raging thunderclouds on top of the tallest building in the city, shocking everyone who witnessed the scene.

At that moment, all the survivors who saw this were stunned, and the women inside the base were even more excited. Many maids were already kneeling down, fervently praying and showing their submission to the divine figure in the distance.

Although Angelica and a few others didn't act in the same way, they were also deeply shaken and had an inexplicable look on their faces.

"This is just insane..." Judy blinked her eyes and gritted her teeth, expressing her disbelief.

Lisa gave a disdainful look to the outspoken little girl, then turned to pick up the trembling little girl, Chu Xiaoyue, who was also feeling afraid. "Be good, don't be scared, everything's fine."

Chu Xiaoyue, a young and cute little girl, quickly won the affection of many women in the base, especially Lisa and her companions. Gradually, the little girl also accepted the scene, losing the initial sense of unfamiliarity and fear. Of course, her relationship with Mulin was still the closest.

Speaking of Mulin, she was originally leading a team to clear out the zombies. However, Derick's thunderstorm caused a near-riot among the zombies in most parts of the Grizzly area, except for some areas with high-level zombies, which remained calm. The lower-level zombies in other areas were in a state of panic, running around in fear, as they sensed an overwhelming pressure of fear emanating from the very source of their existence.

"Do you think this is the breakthrough brought about by the Lord?" Sacha looked at Mulin in disbelief and asked.
