Chapter 7: Battle

Hearing this name, "Frost Lord," Guo Haoyu was stunned.

"That’s right, little Alice, try freezing this!"

Renault brought a cup of hot water and placed it in Alice's hands.

Alice blinked in confusion, but soon, the water in her hands instantly froze solid!

"Huh? I did that…?"

Renault ruffled Alice’s hair and said, "This is your ability, the unique power of an evolver!"

"I’ve gotten stronger! Does this mean I can now fight alongside Renault brother and Haoyu brother?"

Alice looked at the white frost forming on her hands, then raised her head with an excited, expectant expression.

"No, you’re still a little kid. Just stay behind us," Guo Haoyu said quickly, worried. There was no way he could let a little girl join the battle—it was madness!

"She can! We’ll fight side by side from now on!" Renault patted Guo Haoyu’s shoulder and added, "Trust me, and trust little Alice. She can do it!"

At that moment, the sound of a loudspeaker echoed from outside the window.

"To all survivors, welcome to the Xishan City Base. With the apocalypse unfolding, this is your only safe and reliable haven! The base is located in Xishan City’s military district. Bring supplies and join the base for generous benefits!"

The voice came from outside the small building, and Renault nodded slightly. This was all within his expectations.

Modern society had collapsed completely, but with access to significant firepower, the military was able to maintain order and transform their district into a secure base.

It became one of the few safe havens for human survival!

"The leader of Xishan City Base should still be Meng Changkun," Renault’s eyes flashed with malice. In his previous life, this man was notorious for his despicable character. If Meng dared to cross Renault’s path, Renault wouldn’t hesitate to make him suffer.

"Is that the military outside? Are we saved?" Guo Haoyu asked, gripping his automatic rifle with excitement in his eyes.

Renault shook his head. "Saved? We’ll only be saved when there are no more zombies in the world."

With that, he turned and headed downstairs.

He had to hunt zombies and reach the Bronze level before the special zombies evolved.

"Renault brother, where are you going?"

"I’m going to kill zombies. Do you want to come with me?"

Alice blinked her big eyes and asked, "This time, can I kill zombies too?"

As she spoke, white frost continued to form on her hands.

Since her evolution, this little girl’s demeanor seemed to have changed a lot.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

Renault nodded and said, "Alright, let's start by clearing the nearby zombies."

The two of them walked down a street near the small building and began their zombie-clearing mission.

Next to the small building was a row of low houses, and a few zombies wandered aimlessly in the courtyards.

"Come on, Alice, use your ability to kill it!"

Renault had severed the limbs of a zombie and placed it in front of Alice.

**Hiss! Hiss!**

The zombie roared and lunged toward Alice.

Alice stood frozen, staring at the bloody, grotesque zombie in front of her. She was terrified, her whole body trembling.

"Little Alice, think about your mom! Why aren’t you striking?"

Renault’s shout was like a jolt to her system. The fear on Alice’s face disappeared, and she raised her hands, gathering frost.

"Ahh!"

The white frost condensed into an icy spike, which shot out at high speed, piercing straight through the zombie’s skull!

Standing to the side, Renault watched as the zombie’s head was impaled. He couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.

"As expected of the Frost Lord, this ability is nearly unbeatable early on!"

"Renault brother, I… I did it!"

Tears welled up in Alice’s big eyes, turning them red.

Renault stepped forward and hugged her, gently stroking her white hair. "That’s right, you did it!"

After that, they began a spree of zombie hunting.

...

"Damn, our truck has attracted the nearby zombies!"

The man in military uniform who had been speaking over the loudspeaker shouted.

His name was Dong Liang, a regular officer in Xishan City’s military district and the leader of the rescue squad.

On the truck with him was a ragtag group of ten, tasked with gathering supplies and survivors from the city.

"What do we do now, Captain Dong? I don’t want to die!" one of the soldiers cried, gripping his gun with a fearful expression. He was terrified of zombies, and the sight of hundreds of them chasing after their truck made him panic.

"Everyone, prepare to fire! We need to at least thin their numbers!" Dong Liang commanded, leading the team to the back of the truck. They raised their guns and began shooting at the horde of zombies.

But the sheer number of zombies was overwhelming, and they continued rushing forward, unfazed by the gunfire.

It was midday when Renault and Alice had finished killing over twenty zombies.

Seven of them had been killed by Alice, her ice spikes piercing their skulls.

As they fought, Alice’s combat skills improved, and by the end, her efficiency almost matched Renault’s!

Just as they were about to head back, the sound of gunfire rang out.

"To all survivors, welcome to the Xishan City Base. With the apocalypse unfolding, this is your only safe and reliable haven! The base is located in Xishan City’s military district. Bring supplies and join the base for generous benefits!"

A green military truck came down the street, followed by a massive horde of zombies.

"Oh no, so many! Alice, get ready for battle!" Renault’s eyes lit up with excitement. The hundreds of zombies chasing the truck were the perfect targets for him to level up!

Without hesitation, Renault pulled a grenade from his spatial storage, removed the pin, and tossed it into the zombie horde.

**Boom!**

A shower of severed limbs and blood rained down.

**Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing two Black Iron zombies. 2 experience points gained!**

**Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing four Black Iron zombies. 4 experience points gained!**

"Wow, that was intense!" Renault’s excitement grew as he watched the remaining zombies behind the truck. He immediately pulled out two more grenades.

"Captain, that was a grenade! But we don’t know where it came from!" one of the soldiers shouted. They didn’t have any grenades in their own supply.

Dong Liang’s eyes lit up with excitement. "Our reinforcements are here! Everyone, follow me! Let’s kill these damned monsters!"

**Bang! Bang!**

Zombies exploded into pieces, and Renault’s ears were filled with the continuous sound of notifications.

Before long, the number of zombies began to dwindle.

"Captain, we’re out of bullets! What do we do now?" one of the soldiers cried in despair. In this situation, they would soon have to fight the flesh-eating monsters hand-to-hand!

Dong Liang’s eyes were bloodshot as he shouted, "Fix bayonets! If you kill one, you break even! If you kill two, you’ve profited!"

In an instant, the soldiers on the truck, despite their desperation, readied their bayonets with renewed determination.

"Alice, wait here for a moment. I’ll go help them out."

Renault set Alice down next to the Range Rover and turned toward the truck. He was ready to harvest some more experience points!
