The system took over his broken and damaged body the instant after the original owner died, and sent him directly to the roof of the building. Only after the body was repaired and perfected did Chen Ke's primordial spirit slowly enter it.

After Chen Ke received the memories, the intense emotions of the original owner before his death still lingered in his body. Feeling the overwhelming anger and hatred, Chen Ke stood up. "Don't worry, although the wicked will be punished by Heaven, sometimes Heaven is too busy to punish them all, so I will act on behalf of Heaven!"

Without batting an eye, he jumped off the water tower and walked to the edge of the roof. The zombies below were climbing up like a human pyramid, but the building was at least 30 stories high. Unless the zombies could fly, they probably couldn't climb up by just piling up.

At this moment, the system suddenly spoke up: "Master, this time the system will provide you with a zombie modification system. Do you wish to activate it?"

"Activate".

"Hello, the Zombie Modification System is at your service."

Chen Ke skillfully opened the system interface.

It says on it:

Zombie Modification System

Cyborg: Chen Ke

Age: 23

Modified Level 1 Zombie: 0

Modified Level 2 Zombie: 0

Modified Level 3 Zombie: 0

Remark:

The system can modify 1,000 level 1 zombies at a time, and can modify 100 at a time. The cooldown time is 3 days.

The system can modify 10 level 2 zombies at a time, but not all at the same time, with a 15-day cooldown period.

The system can only modify one level 3 zombie at a time, with a 30-day cooldown period.

After reading the notes, Chen Ke had a general idea of ​​the zombie levels. It seemed that the zombie levels in this post-apocalyptic world were divided into three levels, with level three being the highest.

However, all the zombies the original owner encountered during his long escape were level one zombies. He had only heard of level two zombies once from someone else. He heard that a hunting team of 30 people was wiped out in one encounter with a level two zombie.

Most of those who can form a hunting team are definitely superhumans. If it is a team composed of ordinary people, they are usually called scavengers. And this team, which is known as the strongest fighting force of mankind, could not even last five minutes. You can imagine how powerful this level two zombie must be.

As for level three, no one ever mentioned it in the original owner's memory. It seemed that everyone agreed that the highest level was level two zombies.

"What level of zombie am I now?" Chen Ke spread his five fingers in front of his eyes, revealing a pale, bluish-white skin with no visible blood vessels.

"Reporting to Master... Level 8."

Sure enough, the original owner was bitten to death by zombies, so he must have been infected with the zombie virus. Since his timeline continues from here, he can no longer be a normal human being.

Chen Ke guessed that he might be a high-level zombie, but he didn't expect him to be so much higher.

"Ah, it feels like I've gained immortality," Chen Ke murmured softly, then spread his arms and plummeted straight down the building.

As he plummeted from the sky, the wind whipped his tattered clothes, but Chen Ke closed his eyes and enjoyed the sensation of weightlessness, which seemed to lessen the raging violence within him.

Downstairs, a group of clumsy, stiff zombies sensed something falling and stopped climbing the stairs, their mouths agape in excitement.

But when Chen Ke was still about 50 meters from the ground, the group of zombies, who had no intelligence whatsoever, suddenly scrambled to crawl out. However, their limbs were stiff and their movements were slow. From the constant movement of their hands and feet, it was clear that they seemed to be in a hurry, but it was of no use. They only managed to crawl five centimeters at a time.

With a "thud!", Chen Ke crashed into the horde of zombies.

The seven or eight zombies that were hit either lost their heads or their arms, and the worst one was completely turned into mud.

The surrounding zombies crawled out even more aggressively, ignoring everything. Their faces were expressionless and rotting, but Chen Ke could see a hint of fear in their trembling white eyes.

They're afraid of him? That's interesting. Chen Ke originally thought they wouldn't bite him since he was also a zombie, but it turns out there's a hierarchy involved?

However, Chen Ke didn't have time to study these things. He turned his gaze to the direction in which the original owner's parents had driven away and took a step to chase after them.

The abilities of an eighth-level zombie are terrifying. With a light leap, Chen Ke can fly onto the roof and land back on the road after a few jumps. When he runs at full speed, he can only be seen as a blur.

The surrounding scenery changed, gradually shifting from high-rise buildings to residential buildings, and finally, on the edge of the city where almost all the buildings on both sides were self-built houses, Chen Ke finally saw the taillights of the car.

However, they had already arrived at the government's temporary base, where soldiers at the gate seemed to be questioning them. Soon after, an officer-like person came out and welcomed the three of them inside.

Chen Ke looked at this scene with a deep gaze; it seemed he was a step too late.

It was dusk, and the night, when the zombies were most excited and agile, was about to fall. The searchlights of the temporary base were turned on on time, and the blinding light shone on Chen Ke. Chen Ke's body flashed and disappeared from the spot.

"Huh?" The soldier in the watchtower rubbed his eyes, looking dazed.

His companion asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"...I think I saw someone flash by the moment the searchlight came on," the soldier replied in surprise.

"Heh, you must be seeing things. If there really were someone outside, they would be exposed the moment the searchlights came on. How could they possibly outrun the light?"

The soldier patted his face to clear his head. "That's true." He figured the soldier was either seeing things or hallucinating. This wouldn't do; they had to be extremely vigilant about the dangers of the night.

If he could get through tonight, he could return to the safe base tomorrow, where he could find three or five girls and have some fun. The soldier got excited at the thought.

Damn it, yesterday he saw a hunting team carrying two truckloads of women back to the rear. These were just caught outside, and some might even be virgins. Unlike those tattered women at the base that have already been used up, they're definitely much more exciting. He'll definitely spend a lot of money to try them when he gets back tomorrow!

Chen Ke arrived at a two-story self-built house. It was probably abandoned after the apocalypse. The door was wide open and everything inside had been looted. There were traces of fire on the ground, indicating that someone had stayed here before.

He scanned the floors one by one, and apart from the smell of coal that hadn't been used for a long time, there were no other strange smells.

Standing on the rooftop, with his excellent view, he immediately spotted the zombies struggling to run away in the distance. These zombies were much more agile at night, and judging from their running speed, they were genuinely afraid of Chen Ke.

Looking to the left, the lights of the temporary base were bright and dazzling, and Chen Ke could see various heavy weapons inside when the searchlights were turned.

As a result, Chen Ke temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​modifying 1,000 zombies to attack the base. The disparity in strength was too great, and sending 1,000 level-one zombies to attack such a base would only serve to give them a thousand crystals.
