<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Anthony scanned through the information

from top to bottom and was satisfied with the current enhancements.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>He had reached the mid-stage of Second

Awakening in Qi Cultivation, with a Spirit value of 0.4, which amplified his

combat power by 40%.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>The promotion to

the mid-stage of Second Awakening warrior didn't bring significant increases to

his physical attributes.<o:p></o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">His strength had reached 3910 kilograms,

surpassing that of a regular first-stage Smasher.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>However, when faced with a raging

first-stage Smasher, he could only avoid its attacks unless he used the Double

Stacked Force or triggered his Spirit value.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">

</span>His speed had increased to 140.7 meters per second, twice as fast as a

regular first-stage Reaper.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Similarly,

when confronting a raging first-stage Reaper, he needed to amplify his combat

power.<o:p></o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The increase in his mental attribute to 9.8

manifested in his practice of Qi Cultivation.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">

</span>He felt like he had grasped something, but there was still a thin film

separating him from fully understanding it.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">

</span>This mystical state intrigued him.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">

</span>His Awakening level had reached 53%, and at the current rate of a 2%

increase per day, he would successfully awaken in another 24 days.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>"I wonder what kind of ability I will

awaken?"<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Anthony murmured and

exited the system interface.<o:p></o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Overall, his current strength allowed him

to face lower-level Variant creatures without being defeated.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>However, when facing a higher-level

first-stage creature, he still fell short in power.<o:p></o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">With that in mind, Anthony directly said,

"System, open the base's shop."<o:p></o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">"Ding!<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>The shop is now open."<o:p></o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">After scanning through the options, the

Level 1 Awakening Potion caught Anthony's interest.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>However, he didn't want to rely on external

means to awaken.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Instead, he thought

Cheryl and the others could benefit from it.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">

</span>As for the other items, Anthony considered his options.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>He had previously made a deal with Ross,

and Verna and Cheryl were the only ones left with Level 1 Apocalypse Bombs, so

he decided to restock.<o:p></o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Without hesitation, Anthony said,

"Clear the product list and purchase 20 rounds of Level 1 Apocalypse

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">"Ding!<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Will you spend 6400 energy points to

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">"Buy!"<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Anthony responded decisively.<o:p></o:p></span>

them."<o:p></o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">With those words, a bright light flashed,

and a large number of items appeared on the floor of the gym. Without even

looking, Anthony waved his hand and stored them directly in his spatial

ring.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Once he finished, Anthony headed

straight to the bathroom, turned on the showerhead, and started showering.<o:p></o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The training intensity in the gym had

increased, and even with his current physical fitness, he still worked up a

sweat.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Moreover, Anthony preferred to

stay clean.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Perhaps it was a trait of

the Chu people, but he felt uncomfortable if he didn't take a shower for a day.<o:p></o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">As he was halfway through his shower, the

monitor flickered twice, and a news broadcast from Chu City started

playing.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>The news anchor was a young

woman dressed in camouflage, with short and neat hair, a small and straight

nose, wheat-colored skin, and sharp eyebrows, exuding a heroic aura.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>The woman's name appeared on the desk in

front of her—Winni.<o:p></o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">"Hello, everyone.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I'm Winni, the news anchor for the Chu City

Survivor Base.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>From now on, I will be

hosting news about Chu Province.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Let's

start with the current affairs news."<o:p></o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The first news report: "On July 12,

2024, at 16:10, our Chu City base soldiers successfully recaptured the areas along

the Chu River Bridge.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>This signifies

that our military has the ability and strength to gradually regain control of

various parts of Chu City."<o:p></o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The second news report: "Since the end

of the major flood on June 27, a large number of zombies have appeared.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Our military has identified different types

of zombies and named them.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>It is

crucial for the surviving citizens to remember this information.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Normal zombies: slow-moving, weaker than

adults, can be killed alone, and their heads are the fatal weakness.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Mutated zombies: swift and powerful,

stronger than adults, require multiple people to surround and kill them, and

their heads are the fatal weakness."<o:p></o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">"First-tier Reapers: With scythe-like

arms, they stand at a height of 2.78 meters, with a gray-white body, an

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Anthony frowned as he looked at the row of

information.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>He never expected that

second-tier mutated zombies had already appeared in Chu City.<o:p></o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">"Finally, we have one more news

update.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Our base soldiers have

dispatched search and rescue teams to various parts of Chu Province and have

established temporary survivor bases in different cities.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Therefore, we urge the citizens of Chu

arrival of rescue personnel."<o:p></o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Anthony turned off the news.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Suddenly, he remembered something about the

Linxian Survivor Base.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Half a month

after the base was established, it suffered a devastating blow.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>It seemed that a second-tier zombie led a

group of zombies to attack the base.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>At

that time, all five awakened individuals and 20 semi-awakened individuals from

the Linxian Survivor Base were mobilized.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">

</span>It took the sacrifice of 100 survivors and the injuries of 10

semi-awakened individuals and three awakened individuals to eliminate the

second-tier zombie.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Anthony fought

alongside the crowd and the zombies, and if he hadn't hidden in a pile of

debris later, he might have been one of the survivors who died.<o:p></o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">It is still unclear whether this

second-tier zombie has reemerged, and without Evan and the other awakened

individuals guarding the base, will the base still be attacked by zombies as

before?<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>"How should I inform Ross

and the others?"<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Anthony pondered

with a furrowed brow.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Suddenly, the satellite

phone in the room rang.<o:p></o:p></span>
