Apocalypse: I Choose To Stop Time - Chapter 37

He listened to Nina’s advice.

Thomson asked the member of the Hunter Squad to modify his vehicle.

He originally wanted to fly there by helicopter.

Unfortunately, the remaining helicopter in the base had not returned. He heard that it had gone to the Southern District to trade, but he did not know how it was now.

Without further ado, after two days, they officially set off.

Before Thomson leave, Lester, who had drunk two kinds of potions, had also undergone an Earth-shattering change.

His originally thin body had suddenly produced strong muscles.

Not only that but he had also grown lustrous hair and his facial features had also changed.

Thomson used his eye of insight to investigate.

Lester had obtained the werewolf bloodline and it had the effect of transforming into a werewolf.

This transformation would greatly increase his attributes, especially in terms of speed and strength. He had improved by leaps and bounds, and was not much different from Thomson.

Fortunately, even so, Lester was still unable to escape from James’ control.

This also meant that Lester and James would stay at the military base and they would have sufficient strength to protect themselves.

While waiting for Thomson’s return, they could also further develop their power.

After saying goodbye, Thomson took Nina on a new journey.

The military off-road they drove in had become a steel hunting beast.

The front bars and sides of the car were welded with sharp blades.

The car windows and windshields were covered by iron mesh.

They easily dismember the zombies everywhere they passed.

Although they could not cause any effective damage, they could easily open up the road ahead.

Most of the roads in the city had been paralyzed.

Thomson drove through many small roads. After half a day of hard work, he finally got out of the Eastern District and reached the wilderness.

The reason why it was called the wilderness was because there used to be a fuel processing station here.

After the apocalypse, there was a huge explosion due to the loss of maintenance staff.

All the creatures within a radius of ten miles had suffered different degrees of damage.

Even a corner of the city was affected by the explosion and many buildings were destroyed.

The economic losses were unimaginable.

At this time, no one cared about these losses.

However, this resulted in zombies mutating to different degrees!

It could be seen from their charred bodies that were faintly glowing with red light.

After countless days of burning, they were still alive!

Thomson used his eye of insight to investigate and learned about their attributes.

[Fire element mutated zombie (mutation progress 34%).]

[Strength: 25 + 15 (enhanced by elemental power, 15 points for ordinary zombies).]

[Agility: 17 (13 points for ordinary zombies).]

[Vitality: 30 (20 points for ordinary zombies).]

[Spirit: 5 (none for ordinary zombies).]

[Superpower: None.]

[Elemental points: 15.]

[Ability: indestructible before the brain tissue is completely destroyed.]

[Ability: fire energy invasion – due to the large amount of fire elements in their bodies, they are in the carbonization stage. They possess extremely high heat and anyone who touches them will be quickly burned.]

…

Compared to ordinary zombies, their strength had improved significantly in all aspects.

Even more terrifying was that they were elemental mutants.

Thomson was deeply troubled by how terrifying the power of the elements was.

Even if it was less than half of the mutation level, its elemental points were still inferior to Nina, who had just obtained a superpower.

However, he still did not dare to underestimate it.

After understanding the attributes of the mutated zombies, Thomson decided to test their strength.

“Nina.”

Thomson shouted. Nina understood and raised her gun to shoot!

“Bang!”

A bullet accurately hit a zombie’s head.

With his eye of insight, Thomson could see that the moment the bullet touched the zombie’s rotten skin, the tip of the bullet began to melt!

The zombie’s temperature was incredibly high that even a bullet could melt!

Although the impact of the bullet still made the zombie stagger, it quickly returned to normal.

When it realized that Nina was the one who had fired, it roared and rushed toward the SUV.

“No wounds at all?”

Thomson was a little surprised.

Even if it was fired at Thomson, he would not be able to take it, let alone a zombie.

Even if Thomson had a constitution that was several times higher than this zombie’s and had the bonus of his ability, he would not be able to take it.

However, he was still a human. His body was not as tough as steel, so it was impossible for him to take a bullet.

However, this zombie had done an incredible job with its simple and violent ability.

It seemed that his ability was still inferior to the effect of the fire energy.

“Time Freeze!”

Seeing the zombie approaching, Thomson immediately used his strongest ability – Time Freeze.

The zombie was like a piece of wood, standing still on its spot.

Thomson moved quickly. In an instant, he grabbed the tang knife by Nina’s leg and chopped the zombie’s head.

With a sizzling sound, the zombie’s head was not cut off. Instead, it melted the tang knife.

This completely shocked Thomson.

One had to know that the tang knife was produced by the system.

It was still intact after chopping down hundreds of zombies.

How could it be melted just like that?

Thomson, who had lost his weapon, was stunned to his core.

The diamond-shaped throwing knife had been destroyed in the previous battle.

Now, the tang knife was the same. As a result, Thomson could not even bring out a decent weapon.

“Forget it, I’ll give it a try!”

Thomson clenched his fists.

He activated his spiritual domain and focused it on the zombie in front of him.

Telekinesis control – crack!

This was also the inspiration from controlling the wild wind in his previous battle.

It allowed Thomson’s understanding of telekinesis control to improve further.

He used telekinesis to spread around the opponent’s body, interacting with each other.

The powerful force caused this zombie, whose body element comprised of only carbon, to collapse. Its body let out a whine.

Finally, with a soft sound, it broke into pieces.

“Phew…”

Thomson let out a long breath.

Using two superpowers at the same time was a heavy burden even for the current him.

After retracting Time Freeze, Nina, who had recovered, blinked her eyes and hurriedly got out of the car to support Thomson.

Seeing the pile of dust on the ground, even someone as smart as her knew what had happened.

“Eh? What’s this?”

She suddenly squatted and took out a crimson crystal from the pile of dust.
