Although Delia was prepared, she was still a girl and was fearful when she saw those zombies.
She felt fear even though those zombies weren't as powerful as her.
This was also a weakness of humans when they faced unfamiliar things.
For example, we see spiders which are quite common in home, at school, or at work because they are everywhere.
They weave webs and catch flies and mosquitoes for food.
Although a few are poisonous, they are basically harmless to humans.
And with our strength and size, we can kill spiders easily.
However, there were still many people who were afraid of spiders. As long as they see a spider, their legs would go weak and they would scream crazily, as if he spiders would kill them. However, the truth is that it is very difficult for spiders to kill humans.
In contrast, humans can kill spiders easily.
So why are humans afraid of spiders?
It is that kind of inexplicable fear that lingered in the hearts and minds of humans.
It makes us make wrong judgment about the power of our enemies.
Humans should not be afraid of spiders, or any other creatures weaker than humans.
But humans feel fear instinctively.
This was a biological reaction left behind when humans were primitive and weak.
Fear was a emotion to ensure our survival.
Only with fear would humans run from danger.
Only by running away would one have the chance to live and pass on the genes to the offspring.
From a genetic perspective, living and being selfish were just biological instincts.
This didn't mean anything.
However, the strong ones could overcome their instincts and their fears.
Hades hoped that Delia could overcome her fear and face the zombies.
He wanted her to understand that she had the ability to defeat those zombies.
In essence, those zombies were just corpses that had come back from the dead.
Last night, it had been proven that a well-trained and disciplined army could easily wipe out all the zombies.
Therefore, zombies weren't scary. People just thought that zombies were scary.
It wasn't about strength. It was about psychological fear, the fear of seeing terrifying things.
If Delia was afraid, she just couldn't unleash all of her strength.
"Go! Kill them! Chop off their heads! Otherwise, how can you survive in the Apocalypse?"
It wasn't that Hades was ruthless. He knew that he could protect Delia for a while, but he definitely couldn't protect her for the rest of her life.
If she couldn't face zombies bravely, she'd get hurt.
She would definitely die.
Hades wanted to protect his sister, the only family he had found.
"Alright! I'll chop their heads!"
After the initial fear and shock, Delia finally regained some rationality.
She raised her Japanese saber and slashed at the first zombie that charged over to her.
After the initial fear, Delia regained her composure and slashed at the zombie with the skill she had learnt
Swoosh!
The zombie's head was chopped off by the Japanese saber. The terrifying and ferocious zombie was split into two halves from its head to its legs.
Its black blood and intestines were all over the place.
Under the momentum, the split body still went toward Delia.
"Be careful! Don't be distracted on the battlefield!" Hades said.
Seeing that the other zombies were about to attack Delia, he immediately grabbed her arm and pulled her back until they were more than ten meters away from the zombies, so their claws couldn't touch her.
The first humans who got infected by zombies was through biting and scratching. Nine out of ten people who were scratched by zombies' claws would turn into zombies.
Moreover, the speed at which humans turned into zombies was extremely fast. It took only one night for the infected people to turn into zombies.
From the looks of it, it was impossible to develop a vaccine for the zombie virus in a short time.
Delia wasn't as strong as Hades. Even if a zombie touched him, its claws couldn't scratch his skin.
But if she got one scratch, she might die.
Once Delia turned into a zombie, Hades would have to kill her.
However, she was his family, and Hades didn't want to be in such a situation.
Just like Delia's roommate up in her room, Delia couldn't bring herself to kill her at the beginning because killing someone close to her was definitely a very painful thing to do.
Therefore, Hades was determined to let Delia have the ability to defeat zombies, or she would die.
This was how one survived in the cruel world after the Apocalypse.
After Delia killed the first zombie, she became much braver. She continued to kill other zombies when they pounced toward her.
Delia wasn't as afraid as she was at the beginning. She quickly adjusted her stance, and when the zombies pounced on her, she swung her blade and killed them!
Hades also took out his long spear. When some zombies tried to sneak up on Delia, he killed them with his spear.
Hades didn't help her when zombies charged at her from the front.
However, Delia didn't have the help of the system. She kept killing zombies, but the strength of a girl was limited.
After killing more than ten zombies, Delia had used up most of her strength.
She began to sweat all over, and her hand holding the knife became unsteady.
This was almost her limit.
When Hades saw that she had killed most of the zombies, he let Delia rest for a while. Then, he picked up his spear and wiped out the remaining ones, like a wind sweeping fallen leaves on the ground.
Delia was almost exhausted after killing about a dozen zombies, but with a sweep of his long spear, Hades wiped out more than thirty zombies.
Delia widened her eyes in shock. "Brother, you're so powerful!"
