Wasteland: I Awakened A Plant System - Chapter 92: Terrifying Stats
Chapter 92: Terrifying Stats
Seeing the time was 6:20 PM, Isha turned toward Deepak. This time, her tone was no longer gentle; it carried authority.
“Deepak, are all the weapons reinforced?”
“Yes, Captain,” Deepak replied, giving a sharp salute.
Soon, his team members began bringing out automatic rifles and guns. Within a few minutes, nearly five hundred weapons had been gathered.
“Good,” Isha said, then shifted her gaze to Arjun. “Arjun, distribute the weapons to everyone.”
“Yes, Captain. It will take a few minutes,” Arjun replied.
The next moment, he moved.
To others, his speed was almost invisible. They couldn’t properly follow his movements, only the results. One moment, the guns were in a pile. Next, they were in everyone’s hands.
Since this happened every week, no one was surprised.
Isha gave a satisfied nod. In just a few minutes, every fighter was armed.
She then looked toward Kavya. “Is everyone’s stamina boosted, or does anyone still need it?”
“Captain, everyone except you, the team leaders, Sana, and Vikram has already been boosted,” Kavya replied.
“Good.”
Isha nodded again, then turned toward Sana. “Will you stay with me, or do you want to take action?”
Sana glanced at Isha, then at Vikram.
Normally, she stayed beside Isha, only stepping into action occasionally.
But this time, she chose differently “Captain, I’ll stay with Vikram. He’s new here, so we should take care of him.”
Before Isha could respond, Kavya stepped forward and stood beside Vikram.
“Why only you? I’ll also take care of him,” she said, placing herself on his other side.
“Alright,” Isha nodded, then checked the time again.
6:40 PM.
“Everyone, take your positions!” she commanded.
“Arjun, stay ready for support and rescue.”
“Yes, Captain.”
“Raghav, Imran, and Neha, take the front positions. Watch for any zombies trying to breach the gate.”
“Yes, Captain!” the three responded together.
“James and Mad Fire, hold your positions and eliminate any zombies that threaten our members.”
“Yes, Captain,” both replied.
“Vikrant, Rohit, and Ayesha, you handle detection, disruption, and rapid response. Inform immediately if anything unusual happens.”
“Yes, Captain,” they answered in unison as they moved into position.
Within moments, everyone was ready.
Isha then walked over and stood beside Vikram, her gaze fixed beyond the wall.
At exactly 6:50 PM, since every Awakener of Cameron Town was in position, Vikram focused towards them, and while looking towards them.
Until now, he had been focused on the fog and the forming portals, and Sana and Kavya, so he was not able to look at their stats.
But now, he can. With his system, every detail about them appeared, even what they are wearing now.
But he ignored all of these, and mostly focused on their physique stats.
He first looked towards Rohit, and soon his stats and other details appeared in the panel. There is also one extra line about his abilities in his panel.

Seeing the stats of them Vikram realized that each of them was stronger than him and his Plants Sprout team.
If a team like them attacked his territory, he would easily lose. He sighed with relief, that this was not the Wasteland.
But then he thought, where this ruin has sent him, that here everyone has terrifying stats.
He then looked towards the last two Vice Leaders, who were standing beside him.
Name: Sana
Strength: 34

Stamina: 55

Ability: Stamina Boost. Kavya could continuously boost the stamina of multiple allies, preventing exhaustion and maintaining combat efficiency.
Each awakener had their own specialized abilities. Individually, they were not that terrifying.
But when they stood together, they formed a complete team, perfectly cooperating with one another.
Vikram’s gaze slowly shifted toward his aunt. He wanted to see her abilities and stats.
The panel appeared. And it shocked him.
Name: Isha Rajput
Strength: ???
Speed: ???
Stamina: ???
Reaction: ???
Ability: ???
Clothes: ???
Except for her name, not even the slightest detail was visible. Even her clothing couldn’t be identified.
For the first time, his Plant System failed to reveal someone’s stats.
Not even an estimate. A faint realization formed in his mind.
His aunt was either unbelievably powerful… or she possessed something that completely concealed her information.
Vikram glanced at her from the corner of his eyes.
She stood calmly beside him, her gaze fixed on the battlefield ahead, as if nothing in this world could shake her.

Isha looked at Vikram staring at her, she didn’t understand why. But she didn’t care, she walked over and stood beside Vikram, her gaze fixed beyond the wall.
By now, the Necrotic Fog had completely darkened the area beyond a kilometer, and multiple portals had fully stabilized within it, their dark edges pulsing faintly.
She glanced at the time.
6:55 PM.
Only five minutes remained before the first wave.
“Don’t worry,” she said softly, placing her hand on Vikram’s shoulder. “Your aunt will take care of everything. Not even a scratch will reach you.”
“Yes, Aunt,” Vikram nodded, his eyes locked onto the fog and the portals forming within it
—
Time passed slowly, heavily, as tension filled the air.
Then, 7:00 PM arrived.
A loud, horrifying roar echoed from beyond the wall, and the ground trembled slightly beneath their feet.
In the next moment, from the portals, zombies began pouring out.
At first, only silhouettes could be seen within the swirling darkness, twisted shapes moving unnaturally, their forms flickering as they pushed through the unstable edges of the portals.
Then the first one stepped out, its foot hitting the ground with a dull, wet thud.
Its body was grotesque. Greyish-black skin stretched and cracked like dried mud, with patches of rotting flesh hanging loosely.
Dark veins bulged beneath the surface, pulsing faintly as if something inside still struggled to live. Its head tilted at an unnatural angle, its jaw hanging slightly open, and then it roared.
“GRAAAAHHHHH!!!”
The sound was not just a scream, it was hunger. Behind it, more followed. Dozens. Then hundreds.
They stumbled out in waves, some dragging broken limbs, others moving with jerky, unnatural speed.
Some crawled on all fours, their fingers digging into the ground like claws, while others walked upright with twisted spines and uneven steps.
Their eyes were the worst.
Clouded. Lifeless. Yet faintly glowing with something eerie and unnatural.
Every single one of them locked onto the town.
A chorus of horrifying sounds filled the air, roars, growls, and shrieks layering over one another into a chaotic storm. The noise vibrated through the wall, through the air, and deep into the chest of everyone standing there.
The ground began to tremble more intensely.
More zombies poured out as the portals pulsed faster, spitting them out relentlessly, as if something on the other side was forcing them through without end. Some sprinted forward the moment they landed, while others staggered for a moment before suddenly bursting into speed.
Dust rose beneath their feet as the barren land beyond the wall was swallowed by movement. An advancing mass of decaying bodies surged forward with uneven but terrifying momentum.
As the last zombie stepped out, the portals flickered and then closed.
But the Necrotic Fog did not fade.
Instead, it continued to gather, thicken, and expand.
The ground beyond the wall was now completely covered with moving corpses. The first wave had fully formed, a mass of nearly a hundred zombies spreading out before locking their attention on the town.
Then they began to advance.
