Global Awakening: Apocalypse Ender's Chronicle

The loot seemed quite normal, considering how mutated the Butcher Master Zombie was.

'A cleaver… and an apron?' Shane wryly smiled after seeing the last part of the loot.

Of course, he was still thankful for this since he knew that they must be special items, considering they came from a Special-Tier Zombie, a tier he had never seen before. Furthermore, he obtained more meat, and this would surely help with their food supply.

After all, he just used his five times loot for that! It means that he obtained a hundred units of meat, five Item Upgrade Crystals, fifty Zombie Cores, and others.

'This a lot better than I expected…' Shane mused.

Anyway, just like what he had thought, there was no longer any Zombie Horde with the spare time they had left…

Soon, Shane and everyone else received the notification from the system.

[ Congratulations! You have successfully survived the Zombie Wave! ]

[ You have earned 4,000 Experience Points. ]

[ You have earned 800 Zombie Cores. ]

[ You have earned 100 Reputation Points ]Nôv(el)B\\jnn

[ Additional Rewards are being calculated… ]

[ You have achieved the Top 1 in the Zombie Wave Individual Ranking! ]

[ Hint: Only the Top 20 will receive special rewards, while the rest will receive the standard reward. ]

'Nice rewards… That's a lot of Zombie Cores… Furthermore, they previously just rewarded the Top 10 in the individual rankings. I guess a lot of people deserve to survive this Zombie Wave, huh.' Shane thought.

Instead of shrinking the number of the rewards, they actually doubled it. Now, there were 20 people to be rewarded, which would surely be a huge help to many survivors.

Anyway, Shane continued to look at the notifications he received from the system.

[ Additional Rewards have been calculated… ]

[ You have earned 300 Reputation Points. ]

[ You have earned 1,500 Zombie Cores. ]

[ You have earned 100 Power Cores ]

[ You have obtained a Random Exceptional Gift Pack x3. ]

Shane smiled, seeing the additional reward. The first set of rewards seemed to be the reward for everyone who cleared the Zombie Wave. Then, this reward for his performance.

It felt really good seeing how his hard work was being rewarded by the system.

Then, another notification made him smile even more. This time, it was related to the hidden mission rewards!

[ Hidden Missions Cleared ]

[ Efficient Commander: Successfully defeated the Zombie Wave while relying on 70% of your team's defenses.

Reward: Legendary Recruitment Stone x1 – A single-use item that a Survivor can trigger in order to recruit a helpful inhabitant of this continent. ]

[ Fortress Guardian: Maintained shelter's core despite multiple wall breaches.

Reward: Reinforced Shelter Crystal – Enhances shelter crystal to Intermediate Level, increasing defense and durability, with a stronger shield feature. ]

[ Swift Execution: Eliminated the Giant Zombie before it breached the inner defenses.

Reward: Perception Boost – Permanently increases Perception Stat by 200 ]

Shane was surprised to see three hidden missions being cleared. However, it didn't just end there. He was truly elated after seeing the fourth hidden mission's reward!

[ Unyielding Vanguard: Survive the Zombie Wave with the shelter's defenses breached but without retreating or allowing any survivors to fall. Eliminate at least 50% of the Wave's Zombies personally without any outside assistance. Eliminate the first-ever Special-Tier Zombies in the Zombie Wave Event.

Reward: Title – "The Unbreakable"

Title Effect: Grants a passive 10% boost to defense for all shelter structures and a morale boost that improves subordinate stamina by 15% within the area of effect. ]

"That's a lot of requirement…" Shane muttered to himself after reading the Unyielding Vanguard Mission. He couldn't help but realize that this title reward was only for him. After all, he was already confirmed to be the first-ever killer of the Special Tier Zombie.

'This Title Effect really tells me to fight in a group and not alone, huh…' Shanet thought as he looked around.

He noticed that Diana and the rest were also looking at the notifications from the system. All of them had their smiles from ear to ear, showing that they also received incredible rewards.

He could ask them later about this during their meal. Of course, it wasn't to show off his reward. He was simply quite curious about how different their reward was from his.

Finally, the reward for the Clan Achievement had also been calculated.

Shane then immediately checked the rankings.

[ Your Clan achieved the Top 2 in the Zombie Wave Clan Ranking! ]

[ Your Clan Level increased to Level 5. All functions were improved, and a new building blueprint is now available. ]

[ Clan Banner effect has fully unlocked. ]

[ Clan Member Limit has increased to 100 ]

[ All members of the Clan have earned 100 Reputation Points each, 1,000 Zombie Cores each, and 50 Item Upgrade Crystals ]

[ All level 30 and below members of the Clan have earned 50 Low-Grade Spirit Stones ]

[ All level 25 and below members of the Clan have obtained five Random Rare Gift Packs, two Double Experience Potion ]

The rewards were incredible… Minerva and Tieria looked really happy as soon as they read this part of the notification. They were just new members, and it hadn't even been a day since, but they already benefitted a lot!

To be honest, they couldn't help but feel a bit shameful since it seemed as if they'd just been carried by Shane's team. The two of them could tell that the shelter could definitely survive even without their presence.

Anyway, Shane didn't care about this, and he was happy that this Silver Mine Camp would have stronger recruits. After all, he would still have to visit the Sector 20.

Shane smiled at this as he suddenly felt curious about the Rank 1 Clan for this Zombie Wave. They must be really strong.

Anyway, since the event was already over, the system had just unlocked the Regional Chat. It gave everyone the chance to connect with other survivors.

As soon as he opened it up, he confirmed that the chat was buzzing with messages.

[ Aaron: Congrats to Drakeheart Vanguard! Travis, you guys snagged Rank 1! That was epic! Can you share what rewards did you get? ]

[ Lisa: For real! I just saw that ranking update. Drakeheart Vanguard is killing it! 👏 Major respect for taking the top spot, especially after this crazy Wave." ]

[ Justin#12: How did you get that emoji by the way? ]

[ Lisa: It's Level 25 reward. Chat's Full Function? ]

[ Justin#12: It's different for me. I got one additional slot in the Survivor Store Item stocks. ]

[ Asad: Good job, Travis… You guys really outdid yourselves. I was sure that it would be the Shadow Strider's Clan to get it. But you all showed up big time. Well done! ]

[ Travis: Thanks, everyone! We barely pulled through the last Wave, but my team showed up strong when it counted. Still, the Rank 1 was still Shane, the Shadow Strider. ]

[ Raze: The rumors about you having Clones must be true, Travis… We only got the Top 2 this time. Gotta give it to you all for keeping it together. Rank 1's a huge deal! ]

[ Travis: It's amazing that you still managed to get Rank 2, Raze… Other Clans already had five to seven Shelters being controlled. I heard you only have two, with the second one just built in just a week or so. ]

[ Raze: Wow… You're updated. ]

[ Travis: Hehehe… ]

[ Zane: Alright, but who's Rank 1 on the Individual board? Asad mentioned above that he was listed as Rank 2... What happened there? Are you also the Rank 1, Travis? ]

[ Natalie: Good question! I was aiming for Rank 1 myself, so this mystery survivor must be serious competition. Huehue… ]

[ Travis: It's obvious. The Rank 1 can only be Shane the Shadow Strider. ]

[ Lesley: I took the third place in the Individual Rankings. It's a pity that the system was no longer showing the rankings. Anyway, I heard about Asad's Necromancy. He is a powerhouse, so whoever's in the first place must have pulled off something insane… ]

[ Tyler: Anyone seen this player in action? I feel like we'd know if someone that strong was around. Can you give us a hint about his Talent? Is he someone capable of building nuclear weapons or something? ]

[ Violet: Either way, they must've faced brutal waves, way worse than what we got hit with. I wonder what kind of Zombies did they face… ]

[ Marlene: Yeah, ours weren't nearly as bad as some of you higher ranks described. I swear it has to do with levels. We got lucky with the lower-tier zombies. ]

[ Sasha: Same for us—nothing like those Armoed Juggernauts or Armored Tyrant Zombies in the Boss Raid. Guess high ranks come with a higher price. ]

These last few people in the chats were those from other regions who got merged to their area as the Server was merged.

Though they knew that Shadow Strider was the top 1 Ranker, they were clueless about his abilities, unlike the Rank 2 Asad, who was known for his Necromancy.

Reading the chat, Shane chuckled, shaking his head.

After reading for a while, he confirmed that the Zombie Waves he and his shelter faced were truly custom-tailored to their level and power.
