Watching Alex carry Lin Mancha away into the distance, Shen Jiabin finally couldn't contain his humiliation and rage. He punched the railing fiercely, his face contorted with anger as he roared, "Bastard! Damn it! That despicable loser dared to hit me! I must kill him!"

"He has a knife... we're no match for him..." Gu Fanghua dropped his baseball bat to the ground, his head hanging in defeat.

"Then we'll go out and find knives! Once we get suitable weapons, we'll go to his refuge and take our revenge!" Shen Jiabin's eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was ferocious as he lifted his head, staring fixedly at Alex's departing figure. "If a level-ten cripple can do it, why can't we? It's just that we don't have as much courage as he does! To survive in this apocalypse, we must show the courage that men should have!"

Clenching his baseball bat tightly, Shen Jiabin growled, "That monster has already been killed by that damn loser. This is our chance to go down and look for supplies! Once I find a weapon, I will personally take that waste down and make him kneel before me, begging for forgiveness!"

Even at this moment, Shen Jiabin firmly believed that Alex's combat abilities were all due to the long-handled sword. In his view, if he also had such a sword, he could be as formidable as Alex.

"Our food supply is almost gone. If we don't go out to find food soon, we'll end up starving to death here."

Tang Jingyan encouraged the other three men, saying, "I don't think that guy is all that capable. Apart from having a machete, his physical condition might not even be as good as yours. Even so, he was able to move freely among the zombies. As long as you guys show courage and work together, I believe your combat abilities can definitely surpass his."

Back in the City of Darkness, Alex was unaware that his effortless killing of the burly zombie had greatly boosted the confidence of those on the gymnasium rooftop. What he was most concerned about now was how many attribute points he would get after burying the body of this special zombie.

After handing Lin Mancha over to Li Wan Ning and the others, Alex took the burly zombie's body from the spatial bag and found a freshly dug grave to throw the corpse into. However, something strange happened. The zombie's body, thrown into the grave, was ejected out like a ball. The body landed heavily on the ground, startling the three women who were giving Lin Mancha a lesson in politics nearby. Lin Mancha herself was so scared that she jumped up.

Alex, looking at the body in astonishment, then turned to look at the tombstone. [C-class zombie body cannot be buried, please upgrade the grave...] "C-class zombie?" He stepped forward, picked up the burly zombie's body, furrowed his brow, and muttered to himself, "So, this zombie belongs to a higher class? Are zombies also classified by levels?" 𝙛𝓻𝙚𝙚𝔀𝙚𝓫𝓷𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝒎

It was then that Alex began to notice the differences in the burly zombie. The burly zombie was about two meters tall and weighed over 300 kilograms. Apart from having a strong physique, the skin of the burly zombie had also hardened, giving it a much stronger defense compared to ordinary zombies.

Additionally, Alex noticed something else; a small black tendril had grown from the head of the burly zombie. After observing the burly zombie for a while, Alex became even more certain that these zombies could indeed evolve. However, he was still unclear about the conditions required for their evolution.

[Yes! These zombies can evolve too. Most of the zombies currently encountered are the lowest D-class, with occasional evolved zombies mostly being C-class. Above C-class, there are B-class, A-class, S-class, and SR-class. Based on the time elapsed since the apocalypse began, it is unlikely for A-class or higher zombies to appear yet.]

If the evolution of zombies was bad news for ordinary people, for Alex, it was good news. He needed more evolved zombie bodies to strengthen his physical attributes.

"Upgrade the grave!"

[Sorry! The grave cannot be upgraded at this time. Please upgrade the City of Darkness to a mid-level...] freewebn ovel.c om

What the heck? He needed to upgrade the level of City of Darkness?!

Alex was speechless for a moment.

"Then, let's upgrade the City of Darkness!"

[Upgrading City of Darkness to mid-level requires 300 apocalypse coins. The upgrade will unlock more buildings and allow existing buildings to be upgraded. Do you wish to upgrade?]

[Upgrade Now][I'll Think About It]

"300 apocalypse coins? That's expensive?!" Alex internally grumbled. Building a single grave only cost 20 apocalypse coins, but upgrading the City of Darkness cost a whopping 300.

The five hundred apocalypse coins he had painstakingly saved up would be halved in the blink of an eye! This made Alex's heart ache.

"Upgrade now!"

Despite the heartache, the upgrade was necessary. With a loud rumble, the City of Darkness suddenly shook violently, and a bright light flashed. The walls expanded to double their size in an instant, encompassing the entire playground within.

[City of Darkness has been successfully upgraded to mid-level. Congratulations to the host on unlocking new buildings.]

Following the electronic voice, a long list of text suddenly appeared in front of Alex, showing a multitude of new buildings available on the construction panel.
