Apocalypse Chaos - I am the villain-Chapter 72 I’m Afraid…

From within the sea of fire, a human-like creature walked leisurely as if it was taking a stroll, it slowly came out of the sea of fire, and headed towards Hikaru.

At this point, Hikaru was able to clearly see the shape of the creature.

It was a Zombie, about 2.5 meters tall. Its entire body looked like it was made of extremely sturdy metal blocks.

Its face was also covered with a skin-colored metal-like shell, and its mouth was filled with fangs.

That's right, it was the Armored Zombie, one of the Zombies that humans can't defeat with a gun.

This showed that weapons like guns had started to become useless against Zombies, and ushering in the age of evolution.

However, the strange thing is that this type of Zombie does not appear until at least 1 or 2 months after the end of the world.

Why is there now an armored Zombie in front of Hikaru?

Hikaru didn't know, maybe… because his actions changed the timeline and future events.

Or perhaps it was because this world is a chaotic world, it is not unusual for many strange things to appear.

What he needed to do was become stronger to fight the monsters and the main characters out there.

The armored zombie saw Hikaru but it didn't rush into action instead it just stood still.

"Hm?!" Hikaru frowned: "Is it… is it guarding this place?"

He felt a little surprised. It seems that the armored Zombie is guarding the entrance to the city.

Hikaru speculated that the armored Zombie might have even placed the oil tanker that was blocking the entrance to this city.

Zombies that possessed intelligence were one of the most terrible things that humanity had to face.

However, it was too early now.

Hikaru shook his head, he didn't want to think too much.

He took the ax in his hand and headed towards the sea of fire. The armored zombie stood still, but every time Hikaru took another step towards it, its face gradually became more angry.

"GAOOOO!!!"

The armored zombie suddenly screamed when Hikaru was about 10 meters away from it.

It charged towards Hikaru with tremendous speed, with every step it took, it left a footprint about 2cm in the road.

Hikaru was not afraid, he just smiled: "Come here..."

…

Elsewhere, Laylah who was sitting in a police car and looking at the surroundings could only sigh.

In front of Laylah, about 200 meters from her, was a wall of fire, the way out of the city was also blocked by that wall.

Even on the road, there was a horizontal petrol truck and many other burning cars blocking the entire road.

What's worse is that…

"Laylah…" 𝚋𝚎ｄｎｏ𝚟𝚎ｌ.ｎ𝚎𝚝

Suddenly, Mojure approached Laylah's car and called out to her.

"Captain."

"Um… can you think of any other way?" Mojure's face seemed to be 10 years older, as his face was filled with worry and helplessness.

Laylah got out of the car, sighed and said, "Haizzz, sorry, captain. Right now I can't think of any way."

"The entire exit is surrounded by a wall of fire. Even… if we try to get close to the exit, we will be killed by that monster."

Mojure nodded upon hearing that, he clasped his behind his back, as his face became more tired.

He said, "Laylah, thank you. Thanks to you, we didn't lose so many people. Otherwise, we would all have been killed by that monster."

Laylah was also not polite, as this was not the time to use polite words to please each other.

"Captain, how many people have we lost?"

Mojure was silent for a moment, then said: "Five people died, 12 were seriously injured, 4 were slightly injured. Fortunately, on the way, we managed to get a large amount of medical supplies in time, otherwise…"

He did not continue to speak, only using a sigh to voice his thoughts.

Laylah turned her head, and looked behind. It was a grassy place, but there were a lot of small tents.

It was the kind of tent used for camping, but now, people use it as a temporary living place.

There were more than 100 tents there, and an estimated 200 people.

These people were being assisted by the police to move out of the city but now they were stuck in this place.

Inside were many children and old people. If they don't get out of the city quickly, then the Zombies will kill everyone.

After Mojure finished speaking he left.

Laylah looked up at the sky that was filled with dark clouds, however, those clouds gave off an eerie light that replaced sunlight.

Although it was not comparable to sunlight, it was at least enough to illuminate this world.

"Laylah…"

"Akiko?" Laylah felt a bit surprised, she asked: "Aren't you resting? How's your wound?"

Akiko shook her head: "It's okay, it's much better. Luckily it wasn't caused by a Zombie."

She said as she held up her white bandaged arm for Laylah to see.

Laylah breathed a sigh of relief seeing that.

However, Akiko did not feel happy, her face filled with sadness: "I never thought that one day, the world would end this way."

Laylah sighed, "Haizz, don't worry, I promise everything will be fine. Humanity has developed to this day, it is not possible to perish just because of Zombies."

Akiko shook her head: "You seem to be very optimistic... But, what I find most confusing is how did Hikaru know the end of the world is coming?"

Laylah also remembered the night she and Hikaru first met.

'It seems…my guess is correct. No, maybe my guess is wrong, however, it is also very close to the truth about this world.'

'Hikaru, you're interesting.'

Laylah suddenly felt like meeting Hikaru right now, however, she also knew now was not the right time.

"Why?" Akiko asked, "Why did he know that the apocalypse was coming but remained silent?"

"Why didn't he talk about this? Wouldn't we be better prepared if he told us?"

"If he told the truth, no one would die, and we can fight the Zombies, and survive the apocalypse easily."

"Why?"

Akiko said that while clenching her teeth, her hands clenched so tightly that they turned white as if she was angry at Hikaru's selfishness.

Laylah woke up from her thoughts, and hearing what Akiko said, she could only sigh: "Haizzz, Akiko, do you think that if Hikaru said that, you would believe him?"

Akiko was startled hearing that: "I..."

That's right, if Hikaru said that the Apocalypse was coming, would she believe him?

The answer is no.

Akiko will think that Hikaru is using drugs to the point that he was stupid, and hallucinating, and she will once again put him in the detention room.

"It seems… all the mistakes are my fault…" Suddenly, two lines of tears flowed down Akiko's cheekbones.

"Alright!" Laylah comforted: "Akiko, stop thinking about it. We have to find a way out of the city first."

Delmor stood in the distance, seeing Akiko and Laylah talking, he approached.

"Hello, can I help you?"

Seeing Delmor, Akiko hastily wiped away her tears. Laylah laughed and said, "Ah! It's okay, everything is fine. I didn't think that in all of this chaos, you could still lead a group of students so wonderfully."

Delmor shook his head and said, "No, I'm not as good as you think. I just feel like I should do something, I don't want to see people die in front of me."

"But for a student like you, it's amazing." Layla laughed.

"Ah! I have something I want to show you." Delmor said as he took out a black stone from his pocket.

If Hikaru were here, he would definitely recognize it as an energy crystal (Tier F).

Laylah saw the stone in Delmor's hand and frowned: "It is..."

"I got it from a Zombie's head." Delmor said: "During our escape, we killed a few Zombies, however, I discovered that there was a stone like this in their heads."

"Akiko, Laylah, do you think that although Zombies cover the entire world, humanity will once again stand up, once again become the master of this world?"

Laylah immediately realized what Delmor meant, she said: "You mean… humanity can fight Zombies through this stone, right?"

"That's right." Delmor nodded: "I suspect that this stone is the source of energy for the Zombies to function. What if humanity can use this energy source?"

Akiko was startled hearing that, she looked at the stone in Delmor's hand, and thought about how to use it.

In fact, Delmor knew well that this was an energy crystal (Tier F), of course he also knew how to use this stone.

However, if he knows too many things, people will suspect, which will lead to the fact that he owns "The Apocalypse Encyclopedia" which will be discovered by everyone.

He followed Hikaru's example, and hid everything, while also pretending like he didn't know anything.

But… he didn't want to see people die in front of him. At least, he didn't want to kill too many people.

Because of that, Delmor decided to pretend that he had stumbled upon important information. Of course he won't say it, he was just suggesting.

After that, it is based on people's ability to find out the truth.

Laylah heard it and took the stone in her hand, she didn't look at the stone much but looked at Delmor: "Delmor, you know how to use this stone, right?"

"Heh?! Why do you say that?" Delmor was startled, he hastily explained: "I… I just feel that this will open a new era for humanity. If I knew how to use it, I would have been using it for a long time. Why should I tell you this?"

Laylah didn't answer, she just smiled mysteriously.

Delmor hurriedly changed the topic: "Can't we use guns to attack the Zombie?"

Akiko shook her head, "Impossible. That Zombie's skin looks like it's made of pure steel, even a gun shot at close range can't scratch it."

"Luckily it is just around the entrance to the city. If it attacks us, I'm afraid…"

Even though Akiko didn't finish talking, Delmor understood that if that Zombie attacked this place, everyone would die.
