Chapter 31
The street was quiet.
The sound of the slingshot bowstring breaking was exceptionally ear-piercing.
Lu Ming looked down in confusion at the broken slingshot in his hand. After a moment, he slapped his head in frustration.
“I used too much force.”
No matter how powerful a slingshot was, it was designed for ordinary people.
Currently, Lu Ming’s three-dimensional strength was nearly six times that of an average person. With such force applied to the slingshot, it did not seem surprising that he could snap it.
“The plan has failed! Prepare to retreat to the basement!”
Lu Ming was going to run away.
However, when he glanced at the window one last time, he noticed that the hunter across the street had not moved at all.
It was simply engrossed in eating Zhang Ye and didn’t even glance at Lu Ming…
That’s true…
Although hunters had intelligence, this intelligence was mostly reflected in hunting.
In some ways, a zombie could not compare to a living person.
For example, in terms of determining who was strong or weak.
Because of the Mystery Factor, high-tier zombies could easily determine the level of an Awakened. In their understanding, only high-level Awakened posed a threat, while ordinary people were not a threat.
And Lu Ming was not an Awakened.
He was just an “ordinary” survivor.
The zombie’s attitude made Lu Ming change his mind.
Putting the slingshot aside, Lu Ming pulled out the bow and arrow.
Bending the bow, he fitted an arrow.
Taking aim at the hunter.
The hunter still paid no attention to Lu Ming.
There was a click.
The aluminum alloy bow was again broken by Lu Ming’s pull…
Lu Ming: “???”
Wang Xiong: “…”
Zhang Chengcheng: “…”
Others: “…”
The hunter: “Slurp smack.”
…
“Ah.”
The survivors in front of Lu Ming’s house witnessed everything.
When Lu Ming snapped the slingshot, they did not say anything, but disappointment was evident in their eyes.t
When Lu Ming broke the bow, they could not hold back their sigh…
Wang Xiong thought for a moment and could not help but say, “Brother, what are you doing?”
Lu Ming’s calm voice came from above.
“I didn’t expect my weapons to be so weak.”
“They no longer suit.”
Wang Xiong: “Brother, given your current condition, we…”
“Boom!”
An deafening explosion sounded.
In the distance, where the hunter was at the end of the street, shattered reinforced concrete flew wildly. Amidst the smoke and dust, the hunter’s ear-piercing wails blasted loudly.
The sudden voice stunned the seven survivors below.
They looked up in confusion at the window.
Lu Ming, who was by the window, grabbed a dumbbell and violently twisted off the weight plate.
“This is quite useful.”
The 2.5 kg weight plate, together with part of the dumbbell bar, were twisted off.
The break in the steel was jagged, a silent depiction of the violence it had endured.
After shaking the weight plate, Lu Ming turned around and pulled his arm!
At this moment, Lu Ming was like a slingshot, and the weight plate of the dumbbell was the bullet on the slingshot!
“Boom!”
The sonic boom shook the entire window, making creaking noises.
The second weight plate flew straight at the hunter at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
This hit was a bit off.
Unlike the first hit which directly smashed the hunter’s lower body.
The second hit struck a nearby shop, immediately causing the entire building to shake violently, as if a gas cylinder had exploded.
“Roar~ Howl!?!”
The hunter was bewildered.
…
The hunter indeed did not react to Lu Ming’s first attack.
Actually, just by looking at the physique of the hunter, you could tell that it was agile, with quick reflexes and speed.
If it faced Lu Ming’s throw head-on, it wouldn’t necessarily get hit — maybe a fifty-fifty chance.
Unfortunately, it didn’t take the “ordinary person” Lu Ming seriously at all.
One could say it was arrogant and careless, falling victim to an unsportsmanlike sneak attack.
But who could he blame?
With the first dumbbell, Lu Ming got lucky and the hunter got unlucky. It hit the hunter’s waist with one strike.
The terrifying energy instantly severed the hunter’s torso.
This caused the hunter to emit a piercing roar.
It was in pain, it was furious.
Until the second strike fell on a nearby building.
The powerful destructive force immediately silenced the hunter.
It finally realized that it had encountered a formidable opponent.
There was no thought of launching a counterattack.
Without its legs,the hunter could not catch its prey.
At this moment, the hunter just wanted to escape.
But where could a legless hunter run to?
And Lu Ming couldn’t possibly leave such a great threat unchecked!
“Boom!”
The third dumbbell weight plate hit two meters in front of the hunter. The splattering steel and concrete debris pierced the hunter’s eyeballs, also making it hesitate to move.
Then came the fourth strike.
The fifth strike.
The sixth strike.
…
At this moment, Lu Ming was like a cannon.
The dumbbell plates flying out of the window were like cannonballs.
Throughout the Good Hope Village, a series of “boom” sounds echoed, the volume and resonance slightly inferior to the artillery shells of the army half a month ago.
The loud noise naturally attracted the attention of the zombies.
Lu Ming did not care about that anymore.
He just mechanically threw dumbbell plates at the hunter.
He even gained a bit of unexpected progress.
Throw Lv. 1 (0/100): You have mastered the basics of throwing. All attributes +0.1.
This made Lu Ming even more reluctant to stop.
He continued throwing until his throwing skill proficiency reached Lv1 (53/100) and stopped rising. Lu Ming then crushed another dumbbell and scattered it around before ceasing to throw anymore.
As the dust cleared at the end of the street,
the pockmarked road became an unsightly mess.
In the center of the road, a lump of minced meat, enough to fill dumplings, appeared before Lu Ming’s eyes, making him nod in satisfaction.
“Not bad, it’s done.”
“This thing isn’t as strong as I imagined.”
“Crack.”
Lu Ming closed the window and prepared to rest.
…
Wang Xiong and the others were also dumbfounded.
They had been in a daze since just now.
After hearing Lu Ming close the window, Wang Xiong and the others finally snapped out of it.
They gasped.
They looked at each other, then turned to look at the smashed hunter not far away.
Zhang Lixin muttered, “That’s it? It’s over just like that?”
Wang Xiong muttered, “Yeah, is it over already?”
Meng Jie thought for a moment and said, “I’m very curious about what level of Awakened Lu Ming is.”
Zhang Chengcheng had the quickest reaction. She quickly rushed out and searched the ground for Zhang Ye’s corpse.
Fortunately, Zhāng Yě’s body did not suffer much damage. When the hunter fled, it did not care about food at all…
She gently lifted her brother’s body.
Zhang Chengcheng took a deep breath and closed Zhang Ye’s wide-open eyes.
She turned to look at Lu Ming’s building.
A hint of strangeness flashed across Zhang Chengcheng’s eyes.
She could not forget the earth-shattering bombardment just now!
For the Hunter, it was like the toll of a death knell.
However, to Zhang Chengcheng, it seemed like a god’s punishment upon a demon!
“The Hammer of Thor.”
The words “The Hammer of Thor” inexplicably appeared in her heart.
The more she thought about it, the more Zhang Chengcheng felt that the technique Lu Ming had just used should have such a majestic name.
And a majestic technique would undoubtedly correspond to a peerless unparalleled person.
“Lu Ming.”
“His name is Lu Ming.”
