The Zombie Empress Builds Infrastructure in the Apocalypse

After Fan Xin was forced to self-destruct, she was reborn back to before the apocalypse descended. Unexpectedly, even after rebirth, she was still a zombie. Unwilling to repeat her previous life...

Chapter 8: Level 3

Bang bang——

One zombie after another slammed against the glass door of the cafeteria, roaring angrily.

The zombie in the front stared at the people in the cafeteria with its scarlet eyes, and banged hard on the glass door with its hands, making a clanging sound.

"Go upstairs." Jiang Hao frowned and said loudly.

The frightened crowd finally came to their senses and ran upstairs.

Crack—a crack appeared in the glass door as a result of a zombie smash. Then the sound of breaking glass became louder and louder. No one dared to look back. They all ran upstairs frantically, breaking out in cold sweats.

Jiang Hao stayed behind to cover everyone else. After everyone had gone up the stairs, he followed behind.

"Brother Hao, those zombies are climbing the stairs!" Wen Shuqi's voice was distorted, and he looked behind Jiang Hao in horror.

Jiang Hao took two or three steps to the second floor and looked back. Sure enough, the zombies were staring at them with bloodshot eyes full of desire, and they were crawling up the stairs using their hands and feet.

"Close the door." Jiang Hao said.

There was also a glass door on the second floor, but it obviously couldn't stop the zombies. After closing the door, Jiang Hao asked everyone to move the refrigerator to the door to block it, and then moved all the tables, chairs and benches that could be moved to block the group of zombies.

The refrigerator couldn't block the entire door, the tables, chairs, and benches were too light, and the zombies were extremely strong, so these things could only block it temporarily.

"Brother Hao, what should we do now?"

Someone glanced at Jiang Hao, who was standing at the front, feeling helpless and frightened.

Jiang Hao shook the homemade axe in his hand and glanced at everyone calmly: "Although these zombies are strong, they move slowly. I just tried it and it's easy to kill them by chopping at their necks with all my strength. It's not that scary."

As he said that, he turned to face everyone: "If you want to live, go get a weapon and kill zombies with me."

Kill zombies? Many people in the crowd were paralyzed.

They have always been following Jiang Hao and have been involved in many fights. They have never been afraid even when the other party has a knife. But now they are facing not humans, but zombies.

Even if Jiang Hao said it wasn't that difficult to deal with, they were still afraid.

Seeing this, Jiang Hao didn't force it, but simply said, "Have you read apocalyptic novels? The zombies are the weakest at the beginning of the apocalypse, and they will become stronger and stronger. If you are so scared of the zombies at the beginning and dare not kill them, you will just wait for death in the future."

Wen Shuqi stared at Jiang Hao in a daze, but Jiang Hao was already standing at the door, having moved the chair away, leaving a small path that was just big enough for one person to pass through.

The zombies had already climbed up to the second floor and started banging on the glass door. They roared and howled, as if they had seen delicious food right before their mouths and were so excited.

Wen Shuqi gritted his teeth and rushed to the weapons he had looted earlier. He searched for a long time, took out a pair of tongs, picked out a machete, and began to make weapons like Jiang Hao.

The glass door was broken, and the zombies rushed forward in a crowd, but were blocked by the refrigerator, tables and chairs. Only the small path left by Jiang Hao allowed a zombie to squeeze in easily.

Jiang Hao stood on the path, raised his hand and swung his knife, and a bloody zombie head flew to the ground, splashing blood.

"ah--"

Some girls couldn't bear it and screamed in fear.

One, two, more and more zombies fell in front of Jiang Hao. Their heads fell to the ground before they even got close to Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao felt his arm was numb, and there was a cut at the base of his palm, which was very painful.

"Brother Hao, you take a rest for a while, I'll do it." Wen Shuqi fixed his weapon and came over tremblingly. He was still afraid, but he agreed with Jiang Hao's words very much.

Jiang Hao rubbed his sore hands and made way.

Wen Shuqi looked at the zombies rushing towards him and took a deep breath: "Ah——"

He roared and chopped at the zombie's neck.

The imagined obstacle did not appear. It felt like chopping bones on a chopping board. Although it was laborious, it was chopped off in one go.

The clerk was stunned: "I, I succeeded?"

It seems that it is not as difficult as imagined. Just find the right position and chop hard.

"Go on." Jiang Hao said.

Wen Shuqi looked up and saw that the zombie was about to pounce on him. He hurriedly continued to chop the zombie's neck.

Everyone was a little surprised to see that Wen Shuqi could kill a zombie's head with one sword.

You have to know that when this group of people fought in the past, Wen Shuqi was always the one who kept watch on the side, because he was too weak and would only get killed if he rushed forward.

However, can such a person chop off the heads of zombies?

Suddenly, everyone's eyes became a little subtle, and they kept looking at the things that Wen Shuqi had looted before, wanting to know if there was anything useful. They also wanted to give it a try to see if the zombies were really that weak.

After leaving school, Fan Xin returned to the small house where she was temporarily staying.

She placed all her things in the space and also packed some things from her backpack to hide her identity.

Fan Xin didn't want to expose too much before she awakened her superpowers. She was still too weak now. The less she exposed, the better it would be for her.

After closing the door, Fan Xin sat on the ground, closed his eyes, and let his consciousness enter the space.

Bags of blood were piled up in the corner of the warehouse. Fan Xin controlled a 200ml bag of blood to fly over and poured it onto the thin white sprouts.

The white buds absorbed blood very quickly, just like someone drinking water in big gulps. The blood was absorbed instantly.

At the same time, the bud continued to expand and grow. After absorbing 200 milliliters of blood, the bud had grown into a sapling 40 centimeters high.

The branches of the saplings are snow-white and emit a bright luster. The leaves on the branches are transparent, and there is a faint flow of gas inside, which is magnificent.

In his previous life, Fan Xin only discovered that crystal cores could be planted on black soil, and they just needed to be watered with blood.

Because she discovered it too late, she didn't know what shape the crystal core would take after being planted.

But since it can be planted, there will definitely be unexpected harvests after successful planting.

She looked at the small red sapling and felt the energy flowing through the trunk and leaves. This energy was different from the energy in the crystal core in the zombie's head. It was a cold energy with vitality, just like the strange elixir in the human dantian.

The current situation proves that her idea should be correct.

Fan Xin continued to water the sapling, pouring another 200 milliliters of blood, but this time it only grew 20 centimeters.

The third time I watered it with 200ml, it only grew ten centimeters.

With the same amount of health, the sapling grows taller and taller.

Fan Xin wanted to know how much blood a sapling needed to grow, so he still watered it with 200ml at a time.

After the fourth watering, the sapling still grew ten centimeters, without any decrease, and the same was true for the fifth time.

The growth rate of the sapling seems to be fixed. It will grow ten centimeters as long as it absorbs 200ml of blood.

After being watered with 3,200 milliliters of water, the white tree had grown to three meters in height, with a trunk as thick as two people could hug and lush branches and leaves.

As Fan Xin continued to pour the blood, it flowed on the black soil and was not absorbed.

The blood meandered for a long distance on the black soil, forming a thin blood line. The big tree did not absorb the blood, and the black soil did not absorb the blood either.

Fan Xin took a crystal core and buried it in the soil. In an instant, the blood flowed back and was quickly absorbed by the crystal core.

She didn't look at the crystal core she had just planted, but turned around and looked at the big tree that had grown.

The trunk is silvery white, and you can see the veins flowing in it at a glance. The trunk, branches, leaves, and the air flow inside form a circulating picture.

Fan Xin couldn't help but start observing the veins of the tree.

A strange attraction made Fan Xin's throat feel dry. That attraction was more irresistible to her than human blood.

She could feel her body stirring, and her consciousness was uncontrollably moving towards the tree, unable to restrain herself at all.

The next moment, Fan Xin pulled his consciousness out of the space.

She clenched her teeth, and the vein in her forehead bulged.

After a long while, Fan Xin suppressed the urge to act. She still needed to study whether the tree would change in the future. She must not destroy the tree on impulse.

Fan Xin sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and meditated, clearing his mind of the desire for the tree.

After being reborn, it became easier and easier for her to immerse herself in the world of meditation. Even though the big tree was so attractive to her, Fan Xin quickly put aside those distracting thoughts.

The sky gradually darkened and the temperature dropped rapidly.

Fan Xin opened her eyes and felt her body. Her physical strength was still good, so advancing to the third level should not be a problem.

Moreover, there was so much blood in her space this time.

She took out seven crystal cores and a 400ml bag of blood from the space, and swallowed the blood mixed with the crystal cores.

The blood and the crystal core blended together, and a slight change occurred. The huge amount of energy became a little tamer and no longer ran rampant as violently as before.

Of course, it's not particularly docile and obedient now.

This time, Fan Xin absorbed the energy much more easily than last time.

In one night, the energy in the seven crystal cores was completely absorbed by Fan Xin. She felt that something had begun to loosen, just a little bit.

Fan Xin took out two crystal cores from the space and swallowed them quickly.

After spending several more hours absorbing the energy of the two crystal cores, the loose corner finally broke free.

Fan Xin opened his eyes, reached out and touched his throat.

"ah--"

She tried to speak, and the sound of her vocal cords vibrating came from her throat.

"I--" Fan Xin stroked his somewhat stiff tongue and uttered a word.

The voice was hoarse and the tone was unpleasant, like the voice of an elderly person, a bit harsh on the ears.

However, this voice is more like a man's voice, so there is no need to worry about others doubting her gender if they hear her voice.

Although Fan Xin has an androgynous appearance, her voice is very soft and sweet, which is very inconsistent with her appearance.

My throat hasn't fully recovered yet, so this kind of sound is just right.

"Finally, I can speak." Fan Xin touched her throat and curled the corners of her mouth. She found it very difficult to speak, and what she said was extremely slow.

After rebirth, Fan Xin regressed to a first-level zombie. During this period, she could not speak except for roaring. In just a few days, she felt like she had not spoken in her life.
