Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

Apparently, the various Clan Leaders found an Information Guild in the previous Auction Event.

To be exact, one of the leading Clans found a hidden shop in the Market Bazaar. However, instead of selling items or weapons, they were selling information instead.

Thanks to this, they were able to purchase information about the High-Tier Zombies, Hidden or Event Pet Eggs, locations with Treasure Chests, and, of course, hidden rewards in the Zombie Wave.

After paying some Points to the Information Broker, they also learned that the current Zombie Wave would reward incredible items to the individuals and the clans that would do well!

According to the Information Broker, there would be vaccines to be rewarded! Once they obtain these vaccines that grant permanent immunity to the Zombie Virus, the survivors with close combat skills will have more confidence in facing higher-tier Zombies!

Because of this, everyone wanted to do well in this Zombie Wave.

Borin then took out his Seeker's Boomerang. It was the item he had won in the previous auction.

[ Seeker's Boomerang ( Exceptional ): A meticulously crafted boomerang, designed not just to return to the thrower, but to seek out targets with mysterious precision.

Effects: +60% Accuracy, +25% Range ,

Special Effect:

Homing Throw: The boomerang locks onto a target, ensuring it will strike even the most elusive of foes.

Stun: The boomerang stuns the target for a short duration, preventing them from moving or attacking. ]

With this weapon in hand, he was able to easily crush the brains of the Low-Tier and some Middle-Tier Zombies!

In a distant territory settled among the ruins of a once-great city, the New Haven Clan, led by the charismatic Natalie, faced their own trials in the seventh zombie horde.

"Just hold on! It's just a couple more hours before the end of the Zombie Wave!"

Their shelter offered refuge to all who sought sanctuary within its walls.

At this time, the central building of their territory was filled with physicians, engineers, and various workers production workers.

The walls of their territory, on the other hand, were filled with combatants of the Clan.

"Do not be afraid of the Jumper Zombies! Stick together and target their heads! You can cut off their feet to stop them from moving! Just remember what we've trained over the past couple of weeks!

Natalie rallied her Clan with words of encouragement and optimism in their current situation.

As the undead horde closed in on their haven, the members of the New Haven Clan worked tirelessly to fortify their defenses and prepare for the onslaught…

"We're almost there…" Shane muttered as he looked at the time.

Amidst the tense atmosphere at Shane's estate, the looming threat of the tenth zombie horde cast wariness over the defenders.

Starting from eight zombie horde, the undead masses seemed to converge at the front entrance of the estate. They no longer bothered sneaking an attack on the other sides of the estate.

Of course, it was better for Shane since he was able to gather his forces, but it was also quite worrying if they suddenly sneaked an attack elsewhere.

With the undead horde fixated on breaching their defenses, Shane arranged a strategic realignment of his forces.

Monk Chaloem, an epitome of martial expertise, now stood shoulder to shoulder with Shinja at the forefront of the defense…

The arrival of Raze and the Eclipse Revenant also became a great addition to their forces.

After all, Shane could finally benefit from the Clan Skill!

[ Lunar Cohesion ( Level 1 ): This skill binds the Clan members under the moon's watchful gaze, enhancing their teamwork and fortitude.

Effects: +5% to all members' defense when in close proximity, +10% night vision, and a +5% speed boost during night operations. ]

Previously, Raze and the others were able to benefit from this as soon as the moon appeared. However, Shane was a bit far from the others, so he didn't benefit from it.

Nonetheless, now that they're here, he gained the special effect immediately and confirmed that his Night Vision has improved.

Meanwhile, armed with his trusty machine gun, Max assumed his post in the watchtower, replacing Gene, who was previously stationed there.

"I guess I'm still alone here, huh…" Layla muttered as she maintained her watch at the eastern flank of the estate. She was the one tasked to monitor this area for any potential surprise attacks.

At this time, her iron knives glinted in the dim light as she tried getting used to it. It was heavier and a bit difficult to control with their different weight or balance. She certainly would have a hard time using these flying knives compared to the knives made of Starlight Silver…

She could only appreciate Leo's precise works on destroyed knives.

"I should've taken care of them…" She mused.

In the meantime, Shane stood silently before the open gate… There was no point closing this gate anymore since the barrier was already gone for a while.

Shinja and Chaloem were standing in front of him as they were worried that a Zombie that could snipe from a distance was hiding somewhere.

"Mhmm? I think they're coming…"

His gaze then swept over the horizon as he felt the enemies' arrival.

"They're Tyrant Zombies? No… Those are—"

As the first ranks of the undead emerged into view, Shane's instincts surged.

Soon, Cloud, his loyal A.I. companion, relayed crucial information—100 Survivor-Type Zombies were approaching!

"I knew it…" Shane muttered as he suddenly felt a headache…

After all, he knew for a fact that Survivor Zombies had a certain level of intelligence! They weren't just going to move based on their instincts!

It means that they have higher combat abilities than Tyrant Zombies in terms of skills.

He knew that if they fought against these hundred ferocious zombies, there would be a huge casualty on their side! He had no doubt about!

"We'll change the plan! We will use the final trap here!"

Shane knew all too well the ferocity and resilience that characterized these Zombies, so he had no other choice but to use their trump card!
