Chereads / Zombolution: Unleash the Undying Power / Chapter 34 - Hidden Mission

Chapter 34 - Hidden Mission

Gamma, with the knowledge of the level two zombies' existence, felt an urgent need to take action. He knew that they had to act swiftly and decisively to address this new and unexpected threat.

He wasted no time and made a direct call, summoning Alpha for a mission. Alpha, still wearing a furrowed brow, arrived with a perplexed expression on his face, his previous mission having ended in failure. He inquired, "What is it?"

Gamma leaned in, his tone serious, and said, "Alpha, I've just discovered the presence of level 2 zombies."

Alpha's eyes widened in surprise. "Level 2 zombies?" he repeated, his voice laced with disbelief.

Gamma nodded, confirming, "Yes, level 2 zombies."

The shock in Alpha's expression began to give way to a growing realization. "But why are you calling them zombies?" he asked, puzzled by the plural form.

Gamma explained, "Because there are two level 2 zombies."

Alpha's disbelief deepened. "How can that be? They've evolved so quickly. I'm only at level 1.5!"

Gamma shared Alpha's astonishment but remained focused on the task at hand. He emphasized, "Alpha, we need you to capture at least one of them."

Alpha's incredulity was evident in his words as he exclaimed, "Are you crazy? Those are level 2 zombies!"

Gamma, recognizing the need for a quick response to the level two zombies, attempted to ease Alpha's apprehension. He said in a reassuring tone, "Don't worry, I have information that both zombies are currently engaged in a fight. You can capture them after their battle concludes."

Alpha, understanding the plan, simply nodded. His concern dissipated, and he inquired, "So, who can I bring with me?"

Gamma swiftly provided a list, naming the team members Alpha could take along. He replied, "You can bring Agents 90, 80, and 70."

Alpha accepted the choice without hesitation. "Good," he acknowledged. He was eager to get started. "When do we leave?"

Gamma, always one to act promptly, answered, "Right now. I've already informed the agents to prepare."

With the plan set in motion, Alpha nodded and immediately began the process of gearing up and ensuring that his equipment was in order.

Meanwhile, in the desolate landscape, a fierce battle raged on. Zorvax continued his confrontation with the formidable zombie gunner. The setting was desolation, with the barren land as a harsh backdrop to the unfolding combat.

The zombie gunner, while not particularly agile or physically strong, possessed a unique and potent advantage – a set of exceptionally powerful firearms. Bullets were expelled from the gunner's weapons with great force and precision, posing a significant challenge for Zorvax.

Zorvax, his focus and skill on full display, deftly parried every bullet with his colossal bone sword. The blade, an impressive weapon acquired from a level two zombie known as the zombie warrior, had proven its worth during combat.

Observing the situation and the capabilities of the zombie gunner, Zorvax couldn't help but express his astonishment. "Wow," he muttered while maintaining his defensive stance, "I never thought that the guns from the zombie gunner could be this strong."

The relentless clash against the formidable firepower of the zombie gunner made it clear that level two zombies possessed more than just raw strength. "It seems that every level two zombie will have some kind of new equipment," Zorvax concluded, reflecting on the evolving nature of their foes.

The zombie gunner continued its relentless assault, the distinctive bone bullets tearing through the air with deadly intent. Zorvax recognized that the projectiles were no ordinary bullets but were crafted from bone material, a unique and unsettling choice for ammunition.

Then he spoke, his tone matter-of-fact but laden with confidence, "But even so, your body is still weaker than other level 2 zombies." Zorvax's words cut through the tense atmosphere as he rushed toward his adversary.

The zombie gunner, while elevated to level two, remained a creature driven solely by its undead nature. It lacked the clarity of thought that would have allowed for strategic planning. Instead, it unleashed its deadly firearms mindlessly, firing bullets with no clear intent.

Zorvax, keenly aware of this limitation, seized the opportunity to close the distance between them. He deftly deflected the bullets, his colossal bone sword becoming an impenetrable shield. The dance of projectiles and parries continued a testament to Zorvax's skill and agility.

Having successfully approached the zombie gunner, Zorvax found himself within striking distance. He wasted no time, unleashing a swift uppercut that sent the zombie gunner soaring into the air. His immense strength was on full display as the creature was propelled skyward.

Zorvax watched with a hint of amusement as the zombie gunner ascended higher into the heavens. His assessment was evident in his words, "Your guns are strong but too bad, you are not."

The momentary silence was broken by the reappearance of the zombie gunner, now in a headfirst descent. Zorvax's blade was poised, the colossal bone sword held aloft with its blade facing upward.

As the zombie gunner plummeted, Zorvax's smile widened, a mixture of calculation and satisfaction dancing in his eyes. The anticipation grew as the zombie gunner's rapid descent continued.

In the blink of an eye, the lifeless form of the zombie gunner met the waiting blade of Zorvax's colossal bone sword. The impact was swift and brutal, a testament to Zorvax's strength and precision. The zombie gunner was impaled and defeated, ending its relentless assault.

With the lifeless body of the zombie gunner now at his feet, Zorvax had a moment to catch his breath and take in the events that had just transpired. 

In the quiet aftermath of the confrontation, a mechanical voice echoed in the air. The system's announcement punctuated the stillness.

---

[Congratulations for killing the level two zombie alone]

---

Zorvax's surprise was evident, and his eyes widened as he took in the unexpected words. The announcement had caught him off guard.

He couldn't help but compare it to his previous encounter with the zombie warrior when such an acknowledgement had eluded him. He speculated aloud, "It seems that the system appeared because I killed the zombie alone this time."

As he pondered this, another notification promptly appeared, illuminating the screen with its presence.
