Li Shuang really regretted her decision to follow Tang Shaoyang. There was a limbless zombie squirming right in front of her. From the information, the zombie was stage-3 Swiffer. The zombie with four hands.

She looked at the sword in her hand. The sword was thinner than a normal sword. She could use it because of its lightweight.

[Blade of Wind]

Tier: B

Bonus Attribute: +100 Agility, +50 Strength

Additional Skill: [Wind Blade]

——————————

That was one of the treasures where people would fight for it, the sword in her hand. She could understand why. She got bonus attributes and also a skill. While she was not familiar with the system before, she had learned.

Attributes could be gained through leveling up by killing the zombies. By just holding the thin sword, she was given a total of 150 attributes. It was equivalent to 75 levels of total attributes.

Tang Shaoyang gave the sword to her. He told her that the sword could help her to kill the zombie. At first, she thought he meant to protect her from the zombies. However, he was true with his words.

"Just stab the head with your sword. It should be easy with the sword," Not far from her, he told her so.

She looked up, the man was facing more zombies. The bigger one that each step of it would cause the ground to shake. Even so, these big zombies were not an issue for him. With a swing of battle-ax that was even taller than her.

There was even a zombie that could talk. He told her the zombie was a stage-7 zombie. One of the strongest bunch. He warned her to run if she encountered one. Again, that thing was not an issue for her man. He killed the stage-7 zombie in five seconds.

Taking a deep breath as she gathered her courage, she came closer to the zombie. The stage-3 Swiffer was making a motion of biting, it kept opening and closing its mouth toward her. She closed her eyes and pushed the sword to the Swiffer's forehead.

Li Shuang could feel the sharp tip was penetrating the zombie's head. The Swiffer struggled frantically as her hand shook. She was about to release the sword until her man's voice entered her ears, "Never release your sword in a battle!" The voice caused her to grip the handle even tighter.

She held the sword as the stage-3 Swiffer kept struggling for the next ten seconds before it stopped moving. She killed stage-3 Swiffer.

[You have leveled up!]

[You gained two attribute points!]

[You have leveled up!]

[You gained two attribute points!]

[You have leveled up!]

[You gained two attribute points!]

[You have leveled up!]

[You gained two attribute points!]

…

The static robotic voice kept ringing in her head after she killed the zombie. When the voice stopped, she checked the status window. It had been a few months since this thing appeared and it only changed now. She was not level 1 anymore, but level 9. Killing a zombie gave her eight levels.

Li Shuang was about to allocate the attribute points when another limbless zombie fell before her. This time, it was stage-3 Crusher. The big build with a big build. Even though the zombie was only left with its upper part, it was three times bigger than her body.

"Allocate the points later, for now just kill the zombies!" That was what the man said to her.

She followed the order and pulled out her sword from the Swiffer. Her hand was shaking as this was her first time killing a zombie. She approached her second prey that had been prepared.

"Stage-3 Crusher has a tougher skin, it might be hard to penetrate its skull. Aim the eyes instead," her man gave instruction.

Li Shuang followed the instruction. Even though her hand was shaking, she managed to put strength into the stab. She closed her eyes again. The sword pierced the eye and she heard the sound of it. She almost puked out what she ate, but she managed to hold back.

[You have leveled up!]

[You gained two attribute points!]

She thought the Crusher would struggle even more violently than the Swiffer. To her surprise, the Crusher died right after she pushed her sword all the way into the zombie's head.

She was farming the levels. Less than ten minutes and she was now level 14. Just like that, she spent her time killing the zombies. By the time her man cleaned the den of the zombies, she had reached level 37.

Yes, people from Ningbo called this place Zombie Den because the zombies gathered here. This had become the most dangerous area in the city yet her man cleaned all the zombies in less than half an hour.

"So this is where the City's Steele is," she heard her man say that while looking at the seven-story building in front of them.

Li Shuang waved the sword in her hand to clean it from the zombie's blood. She then sheathed the sword and asked, "What's the City's Steele? Do you come to Ningbo for that?"

One thing she knew was that her man came to Ningbo for something. He had told her that he came to conquer the city. She thought by conquering meant assimilating the five groups to join his Empire.

However, that was not the case. From the information she got from the other survivors, he had taken care of the other four groups during her sleep. He had killed all the leaders of the four groups and the remaining survivors followed him. It was fortunate that she did not have to witness him kill those leaders.

While she did not agree with the approach, that was the fastest way to solve the issue. Pulling the root to the core so there would not be any future trouble. It was the same when she was leading her company. She was not giving her rival a chance to come back once she had a chance to root them. The difference was, she was talking about human lives.

"You will know soon once we enter the building," Tang Shaoyang said as he walked into the building.

Li Shuang followed him. Just like he said, she would know once she entered the building. The small black pillar was the City's Steele inside the building.

Tang Shaoyang placed his palm on the City's Steele and a notification rang in his head.

[Congratulations! You have captured Ningbo City!]

[Ningbo City will be under your authority until the winner of the Territory War Game is decided!]

[Protect the City Steele from the mansion to maintain the authority!]

With this, the Tang Empire had captured four out of eight cities. With this, it left with the last battle against the Lionax Kingdom to decide the winner of the game.

"You can touch the Steele if you are curious," He saw Li Shuang staring at the City Steele without blinking.

"Can I?" Li Shuang asked her man for affirmation. When her man nodded, she put her palm on Steele.

[Ningbo's City Steele]

[Protect the City Steele to maintain the Tang Empire's authority over Ningbo City!]
