Chapter 43: Advancement, First-Order Evolutionary

"Sir, are you not going to save him?"

Far from the location, one of the doctors asked an armed guard while watching Luo Yang being completely surrounded by the zombies.

"The Supreme Commander ordered that no one interfere," the armed guard shook his head.

"If you don’t save him, he’s going to die!" The doctor looked at the armed guard as if he were seeing an idiot. How could they agree with such a ridiculous order?

"It’s too late!" another doctor shook his head.

It was hardly possible to see Luo Yang, as he was completely surrounded by zombies.

"Wait... what is that?"

When everyone turned their heads, another doctor spoke, causing everyone to look back at where Luo Yang was.

A translucent yellow circle, about one meter in diameter, appeared with Luo Yang at the center.

All the nearby zombies were immediately repelled by this circle, and the others could not advance.

It was like...

"A force field!"

In the room, Li Sanfang exclaimed upon seeing that mysterious force preventing the zombies from reaching Luo Yang.

At that moment, he was extremely surprised.

With his knowledge, something like a force field was still being studied, and it would probably take years before the military could create a prototype.

But, thinking that Luo Yang was likely part of the Seven Crowns Organization, he wasn’t as shocked.

That was the only place that could have technology capable of completely surpassing the military’s!

Seeing that more and more zombies began to surround Luo Yang, even climbing on top of each other, to the point where the yellow light was barely visible, Li Sanfang shook his head.

Even with Luo Yang’s force field, it seemed impossible for him to survive.

Such a level of technology was probably just a prototype, and it should have resistance or battery limitations.

"This young man is really very impulsive!"

Li Sanfang sighed.

Hearing the grandfather’s evaluation, Li Qingyao slightly furrowed her brow.

However, she didn’t completely agree with him.

Her mind was more open, and she didn’t think a young man like Luo Yang would seek his own death.

Previously, she also thought he was going to die when he jumped out of the window, but not only did he glide, he ended up perfectly fine.

Until now, no one had been able to understand how he did it!

’Masked boy, let’s see how you can surprise me now!’ she looked expectantly at the huge mountain of zombies.

Suddenly, Li Qingyao felt the ground tremble violently, as if it were an earthquake.

BANG!

The sound of the explosion, accompanied by a yellow light, made her close her eyes instantly.

"Watch out!"

She only managed to hear her grandfather’s warning and felt as if someone had pulled her and thrown her to the ground.

After a few seconds, she opened her eyes.

"Ah!!!"

Li Qingyao couldn’t help but scream upon seeing numerous body parts mixed with blood, as well as some extremely bright crystals that came through the window.

"What happened?" she looked out the window, still on the ground.

But no matter how hard she tried, the only thing visible was a huge cloud of dust.

"Probably a bombing!" Li Sanfang exhaled deeply.

This kind of impact and noise was very familiar to Li Sanfang. Only a missile could cause such destruction.

"So... that boy?"

"Dead!" Li Sanfang replied solemnly to his granddaughter’s question and then looked at the unconscious nurses due to the impact. "Go help them."

In the small crater created by the explosion, Luo Yang was flooded by a wave of system alerts, while a warm sensation coursed through his body.

After this mysterious sensation finally passed, he felt something different... He felt powerful!

For a brief moment, he had the illusion that he could knock down a building with his bare hands!

Of course... that was just an illusion.

But now, his strength, speed, reaction time, and most importantly, his endurance had increased fivefold.

He had finally become an evolutionary!

"This was... incredible!" Luo Yang was still feeling the adrenaline rush coursing through his veins.

Everything around him had been completely evaporated the moment he released all the stored energy at once.

The reason he advanced without hesitation upon seeing several zombies beginning to gather in the same place due to the noise was a thought that came to him at that moment.

His goal was simply to release all of his remaining energy to create a large explosion and kill all the zombies at once.

After all, this was similar to what he had done on the third floor of the hospital... just on a much larger scale.

And it worked perfectly!

"Moreover, this was thanks to the effect I thought was useless!!"

Luo Yang remembered the third effect of his talent, something he had previously considered insignificant.

[Effect 3 – Energy Immunity: Any attack derived from your own stored energy cannot harm you in any way.]

Initially, he thought this ability wouldn’t make a difference, after all, as long as he didn’t attack directly, there was no reason to worry.

However, now he understood: he was completely wrong!

Without this ability, he could never have released all of his energy at once. If he did, he would be destroyed along with everything around him!

"Moreover, it seems that in the future, I won’t need to go through all this work to kill zombies."

" I just order my subordinates to do something to attract a large number of them and trap them in some place."

"Then, I just show up and release my energy, destroying everything at once."

Luo Yang thought, increasingly excited about the future.

’Open the panel,’ Luo Yang murmured in his heart.

Although he knew he had become an evolutionary, he wanted to know how much more experience he had gained after killing this mountain of zombies.
