Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

"It's a good thing that we defeated the zombie horde quickly…" Eldric commented as he confirmed that his fellow elves and the others still had full energy. The new horde brought by escaping Survivors should be easily dealt with.

However, that was only possible if they had enough ammunition.

"We no longer have arrows…" Faelar reported. Your story continues with m-vl-em|p-yr

"We don't have any more bullets either…" Gene said.

It was the same for the other elves and crossbowmen led by Lady Seraph.

"This will be a close combat then… We have to stand our ground…" Lady Seraph said as she gave the crossbow to others to store it away.

Everyone readied their weapons as the zombies got closer. They were mostly swords, shields, and spears made by Leo.

As expected, the Crypt Crawler Zombies knew that the swamp was a death zone and immediately avoided it.

The other Crypt Crawler zombies that were following their movement immediately shifted their path as well, avoiding the obvious trap.

However, it wasn't the same for the 200 Zombie Wolves since they didn't have an Alpha Wolf leading them. They all dashed to the swamp and had their movements slowed!

As soon as the Crypt Crawler Zombies were about to reach them, Shane gave his order!

"Throw the lures!" Shane shouted.

Without any hesitation, the ones holding the Zombie Lure immediately acted and threw the lure to the ground about 15 to 20 meters away from them.

[ Zombie Lure Ball ( Master ): A small, throwable device that emits a sound frequency and scent that's irresistible to zombies. Use it to distract and divert zombie swarms away from your location. It works well against Mid-Tier Zombies and slightly works against High-Tier Zombie if multiple lures are gathered. ]

With 20 of these items that he bought in the Survivor Store, they were able to stop the scary advance of the Zombies!

The ones in front stopped running to chase after the lure, and because of that, the ones behind stumbled in their steps and crushed the ones in the front of them!

This created a domino effect as Zombies in front that were lured by the Lure Balls were crushed to death!

Just like that, they managed to weaken the stampede of Zombies and fight them easily!

"Hahaha! This is a good strategy… It's a pity that you don't have enough Lures…" Chaloem commented as he stepped forward and channeled his Aura.

Chaloem, the Monk whose mastery of Aura was unmatched, channeled his inner strength…

Then, as the first Crawler Leader Zombie approached, he unleashed devastating palm strikes infused with the power of his Aura that shattered the chest of the first Leader Zombie!

The others also made their move…

Shinja, the Warlord, led the charge of the Super Soldiers to weaken the momentum of the Crawler Leader Zombies and those who were following behind them!

His new blades carved marks against the Zombie Wolves, who had managed to cross the swamp by stepping on their fellow wolves, and those Crawler Zombies who had stumbled on the ground!

Shane smiled, seeing that they were able to control the situation.

Each of them played their part in the defense...

Max, with his machine gun, picked off the encroaching undead from the watchtower.

He was the only one with remaining ammunition since Shane purchased a lot of them in the Auction.

Brrt~

His machine gun unleashed a storm of bullets that cut through the center of the enemy ranks…

On the other hand, Lady Seraph and her team waited for the barrage of bullets to stop before they charged forward and joined the fray.

Then, Elsa and Lily worked together to increase the coverage of the swamp, allowing the ones in the front lines to have a breather as they slowed down the Zombie Wolves' movement…

Time quickly passed, and as Shane joined the battle, he was about to show everyone his hatchet skills! Well, with his thousands of Spirit Points spamming his Fire and Ice Abilities, it wasn't a problem for him!

[ You have eliminated a Zombie Wolf. ]

[ You have eliminated a Crypt Crawler Zombie. ]

[ You have eliminated a Crypt Crawler Leader Zombie. ]

[ You have eliminated a Zombie Wolf. ]

…

[ You have eliminated a Zombie Wolf. ]

Soon, as the final undead creature fell, a moment of hard-earned victory washed over the battlefield as the defenders stood triumphant amidst the remnants of their fallen enemies.

"We did it! Haha!" Lily and the others couldn't help but celebrate as they confirmed that there was only about half an hour before the end of the Apocalypse.

However, their triumph was short-lived as a new challenge emerged.

For some reason, the Zombies they killed released a putrid stench!

This had never happened before. Although the zombies were naturally stinking, they would release such a putrid stench from their deaths!

It seemed that they were actually quite a special zombie!

The others immediately backed away as they couldn't handle the stench of decaying zombie flesh.

Shane clicked his tongue as he saw how it started assaulting the senses of the weary defenders and threatening to overwhelm them with its noxious odor.

Thankfully, Shane still had his Sentinel Sphere with him.

[ The Sentinel Sphere

Durability: 10 days

With this item, Shane had no issues getting closer to the defeated Zombies. He immediately activated this item and protected him from the putrid air.

Then, with a jumping strength boost from his shoes, he easily jumped on top of the Crypt Crawler Leader…

'The Zombie Wave hasn't ended yet. I have to do this quickly.' Shane thought as his Auto-Loot Function was triggered.
