The End of the World: Oh No! The Zombie Slipped into the Crowd

The apocalypse arrived, and Lin Xi unexpectedly turned into a conscious zombie.

From then on, she embarked on a journey to find her family alongside superpowered companions.

When encoun...

Chapter 42 Being Teasing

【I am here. 】

—Why did that zombie call me a low-level zombie?

[Host, haven't you noticed any changes in your body?]

Now that you mention it, things do seem to have changed a bit.

For example, when she rescued Chen Jin and Jiao Jiao at school last time, she didn't find it difficult to deal with a low-level zombie without any enhancement agents.

Instead, they quickly subdued the zombie named Lin Xiaoya.

—Why did I level up? Does my brain also have a crystal core like the other zombies?

[Host, because all the low-level zombie crystals you absorbed these past few days have been converted into nutrients for the zombie virus in your body.]

[Therefore, your superpower hasn't upgraded, but your physical abilities have greatly improved, making you comparable to a low-level zombie, or even a mid-level zombie.]

What does that mean? Did her physical abilities improve through the upgrade of the zombie virus?

—You haven't answered my question yet. Does my brain also have a crystal nucleus?

When Lin Xi thought about this question, Tang He's face involuntarily appeared in her mind.

If it were true, Tang He would definitely not hesitate to use a dagger to pry open her scalp and take it away.

She shuddered; the thought alone was terrifying.

No. Because my existence protects your brain, your brain is a complete human brain.

This is why other superpowers you draw will be transferred to you, while psychic superpowers can be used for your own purposes.

No wonder, the question that had been puzzling me for so long has finally been answered.

Lin, a pure and innocent victim, Xi: Okay, I will never draw superpowers again, unless I can specify what type I will draw. Otherwise, I always give away favors to others, and it hurts me too, okay?

The specific reason for the upgrade can be understood as follows: humans are merely hosts for the zombie virus; the upgrade is applied to the zombie virus within the human body.

—So, according to you, the virus that generates consciousness is also a zombie virus?

[It's a consciousness that develops and evolves after the zombie virus takes over the brain. Of course, it's also possible that a trace of the original consciousness remains within the host body.]

—Like that female zombie in the lumber mill?

【Yes. 】

Therefore, according to the system's explanation, she could also reach the level of a high-level zombie by continuously absorbing crystal cores.

At the same time, her brain retains a human consciousness, so she can activate mental abilities and level up like other humans.

Oh no, I think I've encountered a bug!

...

One week later, in the S City safety zone.

The resettlement room was filled with more than twenty survivors who had arrived in S City that day.

A young woman in a suit sat in front of a computer, entering identity and household registration information one by one.

A woman with a hot figure slowly moved towards Chen Jin.

"Hey buddy, where are you from?"

A charming voice came, and her breath lingered intimately on his earlobe, instantly turning Chen Jin's ears bright red.

“From Yunzhen, Z City.”

"From the countryside?" The woman frowned slightly, then quickly smoothed it out when she looked at Chen Jin's face again. "How could such an outstanding man be raised in the countryside?"

Chen Jin's face turned completely red, like a boiled shrimp.

What did you do before?

"Teaching Chinese and Chemistry at a rural middle school."

The woman smiled even more pleased. "I knew it. He looks so refined and cultured."

"You flatter me, miss," Chen Jin replied politely.

How old are you?

"I'll be 25 next month."

The woman propped her head up with one hand, smiling charmingly, "Looks like she's eighteen, not bad, I quite like her."

Jiaojiao looked completely bewildered.

Lin Xi's pupils dilated.

Is it really that open now?

"Handsome guy, you don't have a girlfriend yet, right?"

Jiaojiao finally realized what was happening, but this woman was trying to seduce their teacher, Mr. Chen!

That won't do!

"Teacher Chen likes our Teacher Xiaoya, she wouldn't like you!"

Chen Jin was a little embarrassed when Jiao Jiao suddenly revealed his secret.

Lin Xi suddenly realized why Chen Jin hesitated for so long that day and couldn't bring himself to do it!

It turns out that it's not just about colleagues, but also about love.

The person involved is now filled with regret. If she had known there was such a relationship between them, she would have taken matters into her own hands!

"Don't listen to the kids' nonsense. My relationship with Teacher Lin is very innocent."

Perhaps Lin Xi's gossipy expression was too obvious, because Chen Jin looked at her and quickly waved his hand in denial.

"But all of us seventh graders know that Ms. Xiaoya likes Ms. Chen!"

Jiaojiao showed him no mercy and directly exposed his past, "Moreover, Teacher Chen likes to peek through the window every time Teacher Xiaoya is teaching."

Chen Jin quickly covered Jiao Jiao's mouth and hurriedly explained, "That's because Teacher Xiao Ya is new to the job and doesn't have much experience yet. I was just worried that you bunch of little rascals would bully her and make trouble for her in class because she's young."

"Waaah..." Jiao Jiao's remaining words were forcibly swallowed back.

Chen Jin turned his head, somewhat helplessly, "Kids just love to spread gossip, please forgive them."

Lin Xi smiled.

The woman next to him had her eyes light up. "So, Mr. Chen is still single?"

Then she extended a hand, "Let's get to know each other formally. My name is Yang Qiwen. My friends all call me Qiwen, and you can call me that too."

Chen Jin lightly touched her fingers with his palm. "Hello, Chen Jin. Jin from the Taiyuan era."

"Chinese language teachers are cultured."

Chen Jin felt ashamed.

"Qiwen, come and register."
