93 Days of Scavenging

The little robot now has a lot of energy.

All the magic crystals obtained from the magical world were pure energy. There were also the crystal cores of this world, including but not limited to the wind and solar energy absorbed daily, and the majority of the energy obtained from scavenging and processing garbage.

Even though he spends energy writing magic scrolls and using the various areas within the recycling chamber, especially the time-speed-changing zone, which all require energy, the energy he stores continues to increase.

The recycling bins had always been sufficient, so there was no rush to upgrade the little robot.

The world is full of trash, and there are countless people willing to pick it up, which has led to a shortage of recycling bins.

However, there are still space scrolls, so it's not that they're not enough.

But the little robot still decided to upgrade as soon as possible.

Before the upgrade, the little robot has one more thing to do.

That means releasing the zombie from the lab.

This living zombie isn't one of those inanimate objects that can't move. If it runs around and causes damage when the upgrade space in the recycling bin changes, that wouldn't be good.

Although keeping it in a laboratory makes this unlikely, it's better to be safe than sorry.

What if this zombie jsg escapes after being released? Well, let it run away, of course.

Anyway, there are plenty of zombies around, men, women, old and young, you can find any kind you want.

We'll catch them when we need to.

Just as the little robot had predicted, the zombie darted out in the blink of an eye after being released. Despite being only a low-level zombie, its running speed was almost the same as that of a mutated zombie.

It seems he got paralyzed from being locked up in the lab.

The little robot let it leave without choosing a place, and just closed its eyes in place to start upgrading the recycling bin.

When the recycling bin was being upgraded, the little robot was in a dormant state, so it had little awareness of the outside world and was unaware that the zombies around it had suddenly changed at a certain moment.

The zombies, who had been wandering aimlessly and freely, suddenly froze in place. After a few seconds, all of them started walking in one direction.

If someone were looking in that direction from above, they would see a green zombie that looked as if it were wearing a ghillie suit.

The zombies surrounded him, as if he were their king.

Okay, it's not just like, it's exactly what it is.

This zombie has indeed evolved into the king of zombies!

This zombie is the one from the agricultural product processing plant area near Hope Base, the one that fused with a mutated ivy.

This zombie was originally just an ordinary high-level zombie, but even then it was quite unique. It didn't like wandering with other zombie hordes, and it even seemed uninterested in humans, preferring plants instead. It chased after mutated plants and ate them.

I wonder what kind of person he was before he mutated into a zombie.

In short, one day it learned that there was a large patch of ferocious mutated ivy in the agricultural product processing plant area, so it went over aggressively to start a fight.

The final result is what it is now, a half-zombie, half-ivory-like creature. However, its mind has not been taken over by the ivy, so it is just like having a weapon that has become one with it.

After absorbing the ivy, this zombie upgraded to a zombie king. As a result, his thinking became clearer and clearer. If someone were to examine him, they would find that he was no different from a human.

However, this zombie's level of mental clarity was no different from that of a human. It didn't feel the need to leave the zombie group or do things like disguising itself as a human and infiltrating a human base.

There was no intention to wipe out humanity, turn the world into a zombie abode, and become the sole ruler.

In short, he just stayed idly in the processing plant area, occasionally nibbling on the ivy on his body, or tinkering with the various abilities he would gain after becoming the Zombie King.

What he liked most was controlling zombies. Whenever he was bored, he would summon a bunch of zombies and control them to dance, fight, and form formations in a chaotic manner. He was having a lot of fun and was very happy.

Furthermore, after the ivy on his body merged with him, his abilities did not decrease at all; in fact, because his main body became a mobile zombie, they were even enhanced.

In short, the ivy can still spread its roots and vines everywhere, and everything it hears, sees, and senses in the places it passes through will be gathered by the zombies.

It can be said that one can know thousands of miles away without leaving home.

Despite the many amusing moments, the zombie occasionally gets bored.

One day, the zombies discovered a bold human entering their territory and began to observe them from the shadows.

The more he observed, the stranger the human seemed to him.

Needless to say, he was incredibly brave; he wasn't afraid of zombies at all, and even when one was right in front of him, he didn't flinch. His body was also incredibly tough; even when the Zombie King controlled a sturdy mutated zombie to attack him, he didn't suffer even the slightest scratch.

At most, the clothes are just torn.

Moreover, the Zombie King observed him all day and didn't find him eating, drinking, or using the toilet. If he didn't look like a living human, he wouldn't be able to sense and control him like he controls other zombies. The Zombie King would have thought he was a zombie!

This is just like a zombie!

As the zombie king observed, he became increasingly interested in the human.

The zombie king wasn't even angry about the human looting his territory.

After the human left, the zombie king stayed in the agricultural processing plant area for a few more days. Finally, he couldn't resist and decided to go find that strange human and observe him again.

There was no way around it; the zombie king was incredibly curious about him. His heart, which had long since stopped beating, was itching to get to him. If he didn't figure out what was going on with that human, he wouldn't be able to finish eating the mutated plants.

After spending some time leveling up and perfecting his control over the ivy, the Zombie King finally embarked on his pursuit.

The zombie king was confident in his ability to hide and didn't even think about infiltrating the human base to track people. Instead, he quietly stayed outside and let ivy grow in from underground.

However, after he grew up in the base and analyzed all sorts of casual conversations among humans, he finally found Naji's shop after going around in circles. But he discovered that the shop's owner, the human he had been curious about, had already left the base and gone to a base even further away.

Zombie King: "..."

upset.

But the Zombie King has nothing but time.

He continued chasing after them, huffing and puffing.

As they chased after them, they sensed the presence of a zombie horde. When they discovered that the zombie horde's destination was the Mountain Base, the Zombie King even considered whether he should help by driving these guys away.

After all, zombie sieges are common, but strange and unique humans are rare.

If I were to die in the zombie horde, wouldn't all that running around have been for nothing?

At this moment, the Zombie King didn't immediately realize that the human wasn't even afraid of the zombie lair, so he obviously wouldn't die in the zombie horde.

However, before he could make a move, the Zombie King received news that the zombie horde had been dispersed.

The one who made the move was the same human he was chasing.

For some reason, the zombie king felt a little smug.

Look, the people I've chosen are truly outstanding; it's been worth the journey I've taken.

But when he got to the mountain base, he found that the human was gone again!

Zombie King: "..."

What else can we do but pursue her?

And so now, the Zombie King has chased him here.

Yes, this zombie king chased after itself.

The high-level zombies that went to complain were not complaining about this one.

The zombie king, which had been drawn by their complaints, also happened to arrive at that very moment.

Ivy Zombie King: "?"

Dockside Zombie King: "?"

The two kings met and looked at each other in bewilderment.

When did zombie kings become so common?! Aren't there usually only one of these?! Otherwise, if one is giving orders to lower-level zombies while another is giving orders, who are the lower-level zombies supposed to listen to?!

The ivy zombie king frowned, though his facial muscles were stiff and he couldn't make such a subtle expression.

In short, the ivy-covered zombie is ready to fight this zombie king.

He didn't really want to take action.

Sigh, let's wait for them to make the first move.

Ivy, zombies, etc., wait and wait...

The two zombie kings just stared at each other, motionless for a long time.

The high-level zombies who were quietly watching from the sidelines scratched their heads.

The wind whistled across the dock.

Without the king's control, the low-level zombies' formation was thrown into disarray again.

The fight never actually broke out.

After staring at each other for a while, the two zombie kings realized that neither of them intended to fight.

Since that's the case, then let's not fight.

The dock zombie king roared at the ivy zombie king, asking what he was doing there and whether he was here to take over the territory.

The ivy zombie king roared back at him, indicating that it was just there to satisfy its curiosity by looking at a human and wasn't going to take over any territory.

As a result, the two kings became increasingly friendly.

After learning that the human being stalked by the ivy-covered zombie king was the same human whose subordinate had come to report him, the dockside zombie king couldn't help but become curious about that guy.

So, the little robot finished its upgrade and opened its eyes.

Two piercing zombie kings stood before him, circling him and scrutinizing him from head to toe.
