Half an hour earlier ...
Adriel was walking calmly towards the location of the green light point, where the survivors that he had wanted to meet for so long were supposed to be.
He could finally meet them.
Adriel's emotion grew every second, he couldn't wait, he wanted to meet them, bring them with him, he wanted them to join him.
He wasn't too worried about being rejected, with his universal charm, he could quickly gain the trust of anyone, from that point on, he could tell them about the village and the immediate benefits of being in one, such as talent, classes ..., in this world, now chaotic and hostile, these things capable of strengthening them were the most valuable by far.
He quickly arrived at the site, which is a residential area that used to be a military barracks long ago, it was quite reasonable for people to gather at this site, at least that's what Adriel thought.
He arrived in about five minutes, with a lot of expectations at the idea of finally meeting humans, but upon arrival, he found a scene that he did not expect.
A horde of zombies!
An army of about a thousand zombies surrounded a three-story black building, from the noises that he could hear among the innumerable screeches of the undead, it was obvious that there were humans inside.
Humans!
The excitement was building inside him at high speed, with rapid movements, he actually charged the horde in front of him without any fear, with the intention of facing the army of zombies by himself!
The surrounding zombies noticed him, but they couldn't do anything before his head literally shattered!
Thus, Adriel entered the horde, any zombie within twenty meters of him exploding instantly, with no possibility of retaliation of any kind.
During the massacre, he suddenly had an idea, an idea that he put into practice instantly.
"Sssssss!"
With a hiss, he controlled the air and compressed it, then threw it at a zombie at high speed.
"Boom!"
With a hollow noise, the zombie's head was pierced, his body fell to the ground as a pool of black blood and brain matter strained around him.
Adriel wasn't paying attention to this, he was paying attention to his essence levels.
He joyfully observed that this method actually reduced the amount of essence consumed per death by half!
Determined to use this method from now on, he continued on as he leisurely walked through the fearsome undead horde, with dozens of zombies dying around him every second.
He wanted to test his melee prowess and test his physical strength, so he intentionally let a zombie approach him.
"Giiiaaa !!"
The latter roared, his null intelligence did not allow him to see the difference in strength between both parties, he simply obeyed his instinct, which urged him to eat the creature in front of him, and he would do so, charge towards the human with the intention of devouring it.
Adriel had a calm expression, he gathered strength in his arm to perform a blow, enough force to break the iron, but he was not happy with this, he gathered 10% of his essence in his fist, the which began to glow faintly.
The surrounding air shuddered from the pressure and force leaking from his fist right now, fully prepared, Adriel launched the blow!
"Boom !!!!"
The air shook from the tremendous force, the essence came out of his fist like a tsunami that finally collided with the surface, with a frightening force, the upper part of the zombie literally shattered!
But there is no end there, since the essence did not disappear, no, instead, he went ahead with great momentum, destroying all the zombies he encountered at a speed that could not be seen with the naked eye!
By the time he finished, hundreds of zombies had fallen to the ground.
Even Adriel himself felt a bit surprised by the power of his own blow, he did not expect such a powerful force, honestly.
However, his surprise did not last long, by now he had almost developed an immunity towards ridiculous things, since the source was usually the same.
He kept slaughtering the undead who basically couldn't put up any resistance and couldn't even resist.
In about 10 minutes, all the zombies had been cleanly eliminated.
With the threat of the zombies resolved, he addressed the group of survivors who had gathered at the entrance of the building.
In front was a black man with a muscular body and a height of two meters, Adriel was not surprised, although blacks were not common in this region, it was not as if they were rare, besides, he was not one of those racist people.
He casually walked over with a friendly smile, wanting to make a good first impression.
When he came in front of them, he saw his blank expressions and his utter silence, puzzled, he asked.
"Are you OK?"
