44 A Class S Female Zombie? I Just Want to Get Stronger

Under the powerful suppression of the military's firepower, a bloody path was brutally carved out amidst the zombie horde!

The convoy was about to enter a pedestrian street at a crossroads.

Bang bang bang!

Hiss...

Several smoke grenades were thrown from the lead armored vehicle.

"Not good, Glisson, come back!"

Howard shouted to Glisson.

Separated by the car window, the outside was still swarmed with zombies screaming furiously, but their voices could barely be heard.

However, Glisson seemed to sense Howard's thoughts.

It quickly maneuvered through the zombie crowd, then swiftly jumped on top of a zombie's head.

"Ugh..."

The zombie reached out to grab Glisson, but Glisson had already used its head as a springboard to leap onto the roof of the vehicle.

Then, it climbed in through the open sunroof on the roof and jumped back onto Howard's shoulder.

"Meow!"

Glisson lazily meowed as if the thrilling escape from the zombie horde and the dangerous leaps were merely a warm-up exercise.

It didn't seem excited at all.

"So that's how this little guy ran out through the sunroof! Next time you leave, you must tell me, or I'll be worried if I can't find you!"

Howard gently scratched Glisson's chin with his index finger.

It seemed to really enjoy Howard's gentle caress, comfortably purring.

"Ding! Miranda evolution energy +375, level up progress 895/1000!"

"Ding! Quinn evolution energy +375, level up progress 311/1000!"

"Ding! Howard evolution crystal +3, current level: initial transcender first stage, level up progress 9/50!"

With Glisson's actions, Howard and the others merely sat in the car and watched the excitement, effortlessly gaining a bunch of evolution energy and evolution crystals.

Comfortable!

This was just the initial gain of the escort convoy; who knows how much energy they would collect after making a full round through the city and returning to the safe zone!

Howard definitely made a huge profit this time!

By now, the white smoke outside the window had grown thicker, making it impossible to see even two meters ahead.

Howard sat inside the car, seeing nothing but hands slapping against the window, everything else enveloped in white smoke.

The driver, wearing thermal imaging goggles, continued to follow the position of the car ahead.

Since any zombies or obstacles would be pushed aside by the lead vehicle, it didn't matter if the cars behind didn't watch the road; they could just blindly follow along.

The bus took a turn into an alley, which quickly filled with smoke as well.

After driving forward a bit more, the view suddenly cleared up.

This was the loading area of a large department store.

Military personnel had already set up an outpost here, with about a dozen fully armed soldiers aiming their suppressed assault rifles at the entrance of the alley.

Any zombies emerging from the smoke were immediately shot down.

As the convoy entered the loading area of the camp.

The soldiers at the entrance fired while retreating, and forklifts piled up huge, heavy iron boxes at the alley's mouth, thoroughly barricading it.

Zombies continuously shrieked and charged out of the smoke, but losing their target, they quickly fell into a state of confusion.

They spun around aimlessly.

When the smoke eventually dissipated, the horde of zombies behind the convoy had completely lost track of it, and their furious mood gradually stabilized, leaving them standing and wailing in place.

Thus, the entire loading area was transformed into a secure, enclosed camp.

Overlooking the entire commercial district, it was densely packed with swarming zombie heads, occasionally interspersed with strange-looking, tall, advanced mutant zombies.

Only the secluded loading area behind the department store became a safe haven in the midst of the surging sea of zombies.

"Everyone please wait in the vehicle for further instructions!"

A female soldier announced, then disembarked with the driver.

Several drivers who got out stood beside a truck in the loading area, smoking and chatting.

At that moment, a short-haired female soldier with a striking figure caught Howard's attention.

Her cool, attractive face, seductive eyes marked by a beauty spot, had a certain allure.

Her enchanting facial features, coupled with a smart military uniform and a curvaceous, sexy body, looked like a real-life version of those exaggerated female characters from adult anime.

As Howard focused on her, a line of information appeared:

[Name]: Raven

[Level]: Human infected with a synthetic mutation virus (temporarily unassociated)

[Potential]: S-Class

[Intimacy]: 0 (Unlock skills at 20 points of intimacy!)

[Hunger]: 15 (At 0, indicates satisfaction; at 100, indicates extreme hunger)

"Human infected with a synthetic mutation virus? What does that mean?"

Howard was a bit confused.

It was clear that the map's designation of an S-Class female zombie referred to Raven.

But she belonged to a new category, neither subhuman, zombie, nor fully human.

Raven's situation was different from Quinn and Miranda.

Miranda started as a zombie, directly associable.

Quinn was a regular human, doomed to become a zombie after infection, thus associable.

Only Raven's status was indicated as temporarily unassociable.

That means she can only be associated after the mutant zombie virus completely zombifies her.

"Anyway, we've all been together on this trip, and we'll be going to the safe zone together in the future. I have plenty of time!"

"What I'm curious about, though... is where exactly did the synthetic mutant zombie virus inside you come from!?"

Howard muttered to himself, squinting his eyes.

"Does Master have a new target?"

Miranda followed Howard's gaze and immediately spotted Raven.

Such a beauty would stand out even in a crowd.

"Master really has good taste. Is there anything I can help with?! My sister has some connections with the military, she might be able to get this girl's personal information!"

"She might even help you make a connection!"

Miranda said cheerfully.

"That won't be necessary; I'll find a way myself!"

Howard said with narrowed eyes, as if Raven was already prey within his grasp.

"Of course! Master also pretended to be a doctor treating people—I've never seen a doctor treat patients like that!"

"Although this beauty is strong in combat and outstanding in missions, when it comes to being cunning and shrewd, how can she compare to our Master?!"

Quinn also said with a laugh.

"What are you thinking? I just want to absorb a powerful fighter into our group to make us stronger and survive better in this apocalypse! Can we please not have such dirty thoughts?!"

Howard said sternly, frowning.
