As Jason Williams pierced the last zombie with his wooden spear, he finally moved away from the corpse-strewn street.
Joseph, who had been hiding in a corner, couldn't help but sigh in relief as he watched Jason Williams walk away.
Looking at the leaderboard again, Jason Williams had surpassed Hank to become number one.
The two were separated by more than 50 points.
1st Place: Jason Williams, 245 points
2nd Place: Hank, 187 points
3rd Place: Joseph, 76 points
...
Seeing the leaderboard, Joseph felt like he was just running alongside a prodigy.
Even Hank in second place had more points left over than Joseph's total score in third.
Joseph no longer hoped to compete for first place.
He now just wanted to hold onto third.
At least the reward for third place was the same as second, so he wouldn't lose anything.
Thinking of this, Joseph felt his strength returning and quickly got up, heading in the opposite direction from Jason Williams.
Joseph now just wanted to kill more zombies to maintain his third-place position.
He didn't care about the two big shots above him.
Meanwhile, on the rooftop of a low building, a man in military uniform frowned.
Behind the uniformed man, four men were quietly discussing Jason Williams.
"Jason Williams? Isn't that the guy who exchanged Attribute Orbs for Blueprints?"
"That's right, that's him, we got our battle boots Blueprints from him."
One of the men holding a wooden spear looked at the uniformed man, "Hank, this Jason Williams is the one we traded the battle boot Blueprints to for Attribute Orbs."
The uniformed man was Hank, the former number one.
And the 1-star battle boots Blueprints that Jason Williams bought were sold by Hank.
However, it wasn't Hank who traded with Jason Williams at the time, but his follower.
So Jason Williams and Hank didn't have much contact.
Hank nodded, indicating he heard them, then looked down at the horde of zombies below.
A flying sword was rapidly weaving through the horde, occasionally slicing off a head.
This was Hank's ability: weapon manipulation.
He had previously been at the top of the leaderboard thanks to this ability.
However, despite this ability to effortlessly take heads in a crowd and easily slaughter zombies, Jason Williams had surpassed him, making Hank feel very uncomfortable.
He naturally didn't want to give up the first-place position.
Unfortunately, Jason Williams' score was rising too quickly.
Just as Hank was focusing his mental energy on the flying sword, preparing to overtake Jason Williams, Jason Williams' score on the leaderboard began to rise again.

On the rooftop, the four followers behind Hank looked at each other.
They originally thought Hank was invincible, but they didn't expect someone to be even more courageous than him. Who was this guy’s general?
Should they advise Hank to give up trying to compete for first place?
Half an hour later.
After Hank used his flying sword to kill all the zombies downstairs, he contentedly retracted the flying sword.
He opened the leaderboard and looked.
1st Place: Jason Williams, 562 points
2nd Place: Hank, 312 points
3rd Place: Joseph, 139 points
...
Hank's legs weakened, and he cursed out loud. He felt exactly the same as Joseph, only with collapse and incomprehension.
"Damn it, he's cheating! This Jason Williams is definitely cheating!"
Hank only hated that the system didn't have a reporting function, otherwise he could definitely write a report thousands of words long.
Too bullying.
Hank already suspected that Jason Williams had an infinite-ammo machine gun in his hand.
Otherwise, how could he explain his score rising so quickly?
Meanwhile, Jason Williams didn't care about Hank's mental breakdown; he was still slaughtering zombie hordes.
However, before killing the zombie hordes, Jason Williams would carefully observe.
Confirming the number of zombies, the surrounding terrain, and whether there were any high-level zombies.
Only when these risks were within his ability to manage would Jason Williams jump out and slaughter zombies.
The morning passed quickly.
Jason Williams' score had reached over 1100, while Hank in second place only had over 600 points, and Joseph in third place was even more pathetic, with just over 300 points.
In short, Jason Williams intimidated everyone with an overwhelming attitude.
He actually slaughtered over a thousand zombies in one morning, which was simply too brutal.
Hank in second place and Joseph in third place didn't even kill as many as Jason Williams combined.
And Jason Williams didn't kill over a thousand zombies without a price: he used up more than a dozen wooden spears.
However, a dozen wooden spears were just a few dozen Escape Coins to Jason Williams.
At the same time, the small groups of zombies in the area near Jason Williams had been slaughtered, leaving only two large zombie hordes.
One of these large zombie hordes had eight or nine hundred zombies, and the other had thousands of zombies.
Neither of these zombie hordes was easy to deal with.
Especially the one with thousands of zombies; if Jason Williams encountered it, he would only have the option to run.
Jason Williams didn't provoke the remaining horde of eight or nine hundred zombies either.
Because there were high-level zombies in the horde.
Out of caution, Jason Williams chose to avoid them.
While hunting zombies outside, Jason Williams accidentally found a wooden chest in a corner of the street.
Opening the chest, it actually contained a family bucket of fried chicken burgers for five people, as well as ice-cold cola.
Smelling the aroma of fried food, Jason Williams' eyes couldn't help but light up.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had eaten such delicious food.
Jason Williams didn't even want his wooden spear anymore, picked up the fried chicken burger family bucket,拎着大桶可乐, and quickly rushed back to his residence.
However, after Jason Williams left, the few bees that had been following him in the air circled twice, then flew in another direction.
About a dozen minutes later, the few little bees flew into the window of a certain residential building.
The window was open, and bees and wasps were flying in and out from time to time, as if there was a beehive inside.
Inside the room.
A girl was sitting on the sofa, with a few little bees resting on her palm, the same ones that had just been tracking Jason Williams.
"You found someone slaughtering zombies en masse?"
The girl muttered to herself, looking at the bees in her palm. Anyone who didn't know better would think she had mental problems.
But that wasn't the case.
The girl's ability was to communicate with, control, and cultivate bees.
This ability was actually quite OP, a downward strike for most creatures.
No person or animal would dare to withstand the attack of a bee swarm.
However, in this world, the bee swarm couldn't kill a single zombie, which made the girl very distressed.
The girl was Ellie, whom Jason Williams remembered slightly.
Ellie's transportation was very special: her vehicle was full of beehives and flowers, but she couldn't take anyone on board.
Because the maximum number of people her transportation could hold was one.
This resulted in Ellie not having any followers or teammates.
This made it even more miserable for Ellie in the zombie world.
Other than when she first arrived and shot a zombie in the room with a wooden bow, Ellie hadn't killed any zombies since.
Her score was only a pitiful point.
Her ranking had also dropped to the last place, number one hundred.
Ellie no longer had any hope for ranking rewards; if she could, she even wanted to hide in the room for seven days.
But she had no food or water.
Staying in the room would only lead to starvation and thirst.
So Ellie wanted to find a teammate to help her find food and water.
Jason Williams, who had just killed zombies alone, became Ellie's target of choice.
She just didn't know that the result of her going to find Jason Williams was tantamount to entering the lion's den...
