Leaving Alexandria.
Shawn sped down the main road, and after about 15 minutes, he could vaguely see the tail end of the large group in the distance.
However, Shawn did not follow them, but instead turned off onto a side road to the left of the main road.
He stopped in a forest close to a cliff, called them out of the car, and led them to the deep pit.
Facing the deep pit filled with countless Walkers, the Zealots' reactions were different from when Diana, Aaron, and Heath first saw it.
Standing on the cliff, one could clearly hear the low growls coming from the Walkers below.
Even after several days, there were even more Walkers in the deep pit.
But the Zealots, led by the skinny bald man, remained expressionless, as if nothing else could enter their eyes besides Shawn.
As they looked towards the deep pit, Shawn pulled all these Zealots into the system team, making them his teammates.
"What's your name?" Shawn asked the bald man who always stood at the front of the team.
The bald man was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, his mouth slightly agape, and his eyes widened, as if he had never been questioned by 'God' in such a way.
"...Bray, Lucien Bray."
"Meaning 'light' in Latin, a good name."
Shawn nodded at him, then under the gaze of a dozen people, Shawn waved one hand, and bundles of 'tubular explosives' appeared before everyone's eyes.
Shawn did not hide the system's abilities from them.
If Elijah used his clever words and staged methods to brainwash them, then Shawn relied on genuine substance to make them believe in him.
And the less Shawn concealed, the more shocked the dozen or so Zealots, led by Bray, became when they saw it.
They comically widened their eyes, looking as if they were seeing such a method for the first time.
Shawn remained silent but took in all their reactions, a smile playing on his lips.
They were people successfully 'reformatted' by Elijah, even their 'operating system' had been replaced with a brand new one.
So Shawn only needed to 'casually' reveal his divine power, and he completely wasn't afraid that they would rebel.
At least in their hearts, 'God' was absolutely not to be betrayed.
Otherwise, once divine punishment descended, they would never be able to ascend to heaven in their entire lives.
Taking two steps forward.
Shawn roughly distributed the 'tubular explosives'.
During production, Shawn had divided the 'tubular explosives' into bundles of 10, with the fuses linked together so they could be lit simultaneously.
This ensured high efficiency and quick kills.
He distributed 1000 'tubular explosives' to them, while Shawn himself, carrying 500, chose a good position.
"Everyone, space yourselves 10 meters apart, first attract the Walkers' attention, then light and throw them out, try to ensure the bomb's lethality, understand?"
Shawn glanced at Bray; he and the others behind him nodded almost simultaneously.
"Very good." Shawn was quite satisfied with their reaction.
Their previously fanatical and aggressive fighting style could also be described as having extremely strong initiative and execution, which was exactly what Shawn needed.
Soon, they surrounded the cliff, forming a small crescent shape with Shawn at the center.
At Shawn's command, they began to roar, competing with the Walkers to see whose voice was louder.
The voices of a dozen people converged, echoing repeatedly in the deep pit, gradually resounding throughout the deep valley.
The Walkers stiffened their bodies and came to their senses, their growls momentarily subsiding.
Perhaps due to prolonged starvation and being confined to the deep pit, they stared at Shawn and the others for a few seconds before reacting, dragging their feet to jog closer to the base of the cliff.
Within a short time, hundreds had gathered, and this number was still increasing.
Shawn was not in a hurry to throw the bombs; the damage range of the tubular explosives was limited, so letting the Walkers gather in large numbers first would yield the highest benefit.
Two minutes passed.
Basically, the Walkers in half of the area had already noticed their presence, densely packed and crowding at Shawn's feet, opening their dark mouths, and constantly clawing at the rock wall with their hands, desperately trying to devour Shawn.
Shawn took out a lighter, lit the 4-second fuse of a tubular explosive, held it suspended forward, then gently released it with five fingers, and the bomb fell among the horde of corpses.
"3…"
"2…"
"1…"
Boom--!!
Shawn timed it perfectly, and the moment he uttered '1', a cloud of dust erupted below.
Shrapnel almost splattered at Shawn's feet, and the huge smoke cloud made the more distant Walkers turn to look.
It was at this instant that the system messages in front of Shawn appeared rapidly in a screen-filling manner.

Shawn closed his eyes.
Satisfying!
Satisfying!!
This leveling speed brought back a long-lost feeling for Shawn.
The last time he leveled up so quickly was before Lv20.
The constant growling of Walkers echoed in his ears. Shawn opened his eyes, picked up 10 tubular explosives in each hand, and slightly raised them.
"It's starting, our feast!"
"Exterminate these beasts!!"
The moment they received Shawn's signal, Bray and the others immediately sprang into action.
Rumbling sounds began from the far left and spread all the way to the right.
The continuous +75 +75 sounds echoed in Shawn's ears as he hooked his lips and gently lowered the tubular explosives in his hand.

The Walkers continuously gathered, and they continuously threw tubular explosives. The echoing sounds in Shawn's ears never stopped for a moment.
At this moment, looking at the experience bar that was skyrocketing like a rocket, Shawn just wanted to laugh heartily a few times.
"What is art?"
"Explosion is art."
"Art~~ is explosion!!"
As his level soared, Shawn became even more excited.
His eyes were fixed on the gradually returning Walkers, his mind constantly calculating where the tubular explosives should land to achieve maximum benefit.
At this moment, Shawn's state was no weaker than that of the Zealots; in fact, Shawn was even more fanatical than them.
This feeling of rapid advancement was truly wonderful; in just a short time, he could achieve results that would otherwise take several weeks or even months.
Halfway through throwing, the Walkers at his feet had already begun climbing up, stepping on fragments of corpses.
When Shawn opened the 'Blood Bar MOD', the seemingly largely depleted horde of corpses actually still had many Walkers whose bodies were merely blown apart but were not completely dead.
Shawn unhesitatingly picked up 5 bundles of tubular bombs and threw them directly at the pile of corpses below his feet.
Boom--!!
A small crater was immediately blasted out of the rock wall below.
And the bodies of those Walkers were instantly blown into the air.
The accumulated debris scattered in all directions, and the 'corpse ladder' formed by Walker bodies instantly disintegrated.
"Push harder, once we're done here, there's more waiting for us to do below."
Shawn shouted, and the frequency of throwing tubular bombs accelerated even more.
Experience points washed over the sturdy barrier like flowing water, and finally, when Shawn had only one-third of the tubular bombs left.
His whole body flashed with golden light, and a melodious, soothing music sounded in his ears, instantly a bolded and enlarged font covered all other messages.
