Apocalypse God Mode: Unlocked (Cecilia) novel Chapter 263

Chapter 263 The Best Prey

Finished

Ivy looked confused as she asked Cecelia, “Cecelia, why do ability users attract mutated zombies? Other than physical and psychic types, don’t most ability users not even have crystals in their bodies?”

“They don’t have crystals,” Cecelia said calmly, “but they do have ability pathways. That’s also the result of the virus changing the human body.” She paused, then explained in a simple way. “Basically, mutated zombies are what you get when the virus fails to fully evolve inside a human. But even in failure. they still keep some instinct from the virus. That instinct makes them think eating ability users are more useful than eating normal people-or even other zombies’ crystals.”

Draven blinked, then snapped his fingers. “So it’s like choosing between young chicken and old chicken. One just tastes better, right?”

Cecelia nodded. “Yeah. To zombies, it’s pretty much like that.”

“Damn, that instinct is wild. No wonder they’re called mutated zombies,” Draven said, impressed.

Blake spoke in a low voice. “They’ve already started moving. If we want to hunt Level 4 zombies, we should move fast. Otherwise, they might gather near the military’s trap.”

“Right.” Cecelia turned to him. “You lead. We’ll follow.”

“Okay.”

Blake gave a location and walked ahead.

Timothy’s group wasn’t far behind, but they kept their distance.

They planned to hunt some Level 3 mutated zombies first and collect crystals to boost their abilities.

The two teams slowly spread apart.

On Cecelia’s side, things were different. She was already Level 4. With Oliver, the two of them could barely take down a weaker Level 4 mutated zombie.

But now, with Blake-that was overkill. Their chances were more than guaranteed.

Draven, Ivy, and Amber stayed back, hiding in a corner and watching.

“Man-Cecelia is awesome!” Draven whispered. “She just knocked that Level 4 zombie flying with her bare

hands!”

It was his first time seeing her really fight

Last time, when they dealt with Mike and his group, she barely made a move.

All he knew back then was that she was fast.

But this time, hunting a Level 4 zombie was all about teamwork.

Blake used his psychic ability to suppress it.

The huge Level 4 zombie slowed down right away.

Cecelia and Oliver attacked from both sides, front and back, without stopping.

In less than ten minutes, the zombie’s head was cleanly cut off.

They gave the Level 4 crystal to Amber so she could level up.

“Th-thank you, everyone!” Amber held the crystal, so excited she almost cried. She bowed deeply to Cecelia, Blake, and Oliver.

Cecelia wiped the sweat off her face and looked at Blake. “Next?”

“About half a mile away. Two of them.”

“Then we pull one away first-”

“We can let Amber level up first,” Blake said calmly, glancing at her. “Once she joins, we can take both at

once.

Holy shit!

Everyone froze for a second.

Draven sucked in a breath and gave Blake a thumbs-up. “Boss is a boss!”

So even alone, Blake could handle one Level 4 zombie. The other one? Easy for Cecelia and the rest.

The plan worked.

Cecelia found a nearby house so Amber could level up safely.

Draven watched with envy, rubbing his hands together in excitement.

Deep down, he couldn’t help thinking joining Cecelia’s team was the best decision he’d ever made.

They gave him a Level 3 crystal earlier.

And now a Level 4 crystal was coming up.

This had to be luck.

That lottery money he won before the apocalypse? Maybe all the leftover luck got used up on meeting Cecelia’s team.

If he were on his own or just scavenging scraps from others, he’d never get chances like this.

And it was clear Cecelia accepted him.

She said it was temporary, sure-but in the end, she even told him something as important as Ivy being a

healer.

Honestly, he was moved. Before and after the apocalypse, no one had ever made him feel this way

Ivy still had some doubts about accepting Draven into their team. She asked Cecelia about it in private

Cecelia’s answer was simple.

“Looking at our team overall, we need someone like him. A wind-type ability user. He’s not as strong as Hendrick in attack, but he’s fast. If someone gets separated, he’ll be very useful. She added, “And he can do a bit of everything. Plus, he’s lucky.”

Cecelia believed in luck.

Not just because of that lottery win before the apocalypse, but because after everything fell apart, Draven still managed to find plenty of supplies in abandoned homes.

That alone said a lot.

He was the kind of person who could survive the longest.

And she had already judged his character. Back when they faced Mike, Draven was almost beaten to death.

Even then, he carried out her orders without hesitation. His trust in her was absolute.

As the leader of the team, that was exactly the kind of person she needed. Not someone who questioned everything. Not someone who argued and caused silent division. She needed someone who would follow through.

Ivy nodded and smiled. “True. Draven’s like a walking mood booster. He really keeps things lively.”

“And more importantly,” she added, “he actually gets things done fast.”
