The seven people cleared the zombies much faster, each responsible for half an area, saving a lot of time. They cleared an area in less than five days.
As the apocalypse drags on, the number of Tier 1 zombies has increased. Although Tier 2 zombies are still few, most people still haven't become superhumans and can only struggle in this environment.
After everyone gathered, they discussed the matter.
“Ancestor, there are too few second-tier psychics among humans now. There are no more than a hundred openly recognized ones across the entire country.” Leng An stared at his phone screen, scrolling through the list of psychics released by the government. There were more than 15,000 first-tier psychics, but only more than 70 second-tier psychics.
"Moreover, the supernatural beings are becoming increasingly powerful. Some of them can even mimic humans and silently undermine defenses." Even though exorcists across the country have intensified their efforts to eliminate the supernatural beings, progress remains slow, and many exorcists have been devoured by them due to insufficient strength.
"Let's take it one step at a time. All we need to do now is clear out the zombies and get stronger." Li Xuanzu didn't think too much about it; his strength wasn't enough yet.
They encountered many psionicists along the way, but apart from them, they didn't encounter a single second-tier zombie. Instead, they encountered quite a few second-tier zombies.
Therefore, with Li Xuanzu's help, Qian Li broke through to the second tier, and the four energies in her body were combined into two. In addition, with the absorption of a second-tier spirit core, her ability was to change gravity.
Qian Li's current ability to manipulate gravity is what she is demonstrating to the outside world.
Everyone on Leng An's side had also broken through to the second tier, but they borrowed a second-tier spirit core from Li Xuanzu.
He knew that worrying like this was pointless, so the group continued on to the next area.
... ...
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully cultivating a Tier 2 zombie. Reward: 10 cubic meters of storage space and corresponding volume of resources.]
As the mechanical sound rang out, Liang Lezhan felt that the storage space inside his body had expanded. He was currently in a warehouse.
This place was originally a refuge for a group of humans, led by two Tier 1 psionicists. This configuration was considered relatively weak at that time, as there were many Tier 1 zombies. They could increase their strength by eating flesh and blood, and then mutate to produce a spirit core.
The food in the warehouse was running out, so the two psionicists went out to find something to eat, and they happened to run into Liang Lezhan, who was raising zombies.
However, it's more accurate to call it feeding rather than nurturing.
The two psionicists saw Liang Lezhan just as he was throwing a tied-up living person at an ordinary zombie.
By the time they realized what was happening and tried to run, Liang Lezhan had already commanded three Tier 2 zombies to surround them.
The two were no match for each other; their energy was completely depleted, and they became infected and turned into zombies.
Once a psionicist is infected, their rank in life remains the same as their rank in life. For example, a rank 1 psionicist who is infected will become a rank 1 zombie. However, they will need a short period of time to recover their energy before they can be considered to have strong combat power; otherwise, they will be no different from ordinary zombies.
After subduing the two, Liang Lezhan headed straight for the warehouse.
In his eyes, all the humans in this area were merely food for his zombies, domesticated livestock. Liang Lezhan had already learned their hiding places through information transmitted by the zombies.
"Why? We're both human, how are you any different from a zombie?" A mother, her eyes bloodshot, stared at Liang Lezhan as she watched her three-year-old daughter being devoured by the zombies before her, and shouted angrily.
Whether out of pity for the children turning into zombies or because they were deemed incapable of fighting, all the underage children were left behind only as bones.
"Hahaha, we're both human? If we're both human, do those despicable capitalists even consider me human? Unpaid overtime, if you don't want to do it, there are plenty of others who will. After enduring all these excuses and going home, the next day it's the same again. I've experienced this kind of life, these kinds of people, and these kinds of words countless times!" These words seemed to have hit Liang Lezhan's sore spot. He spoke with spittle flying and his face turned red.
"This world has become distorted under human rule. We need a new species to manage the earth, and these zombies will be the new masters of the earth!" He was still talking, but the human voices in the warehouse gradually disappeared, leaving only his own monologue, mixed with the sound of teeth tearing flesh.
Subsequently, many zombies broke through to the first tier, and one of them, which was originally a first-tier zombie, broke through to the second tier after consuming flesh and blood.
Liang Lezhan can control 10,000 zombies using the 10,000 servant marks provided by the system. He can mark zombies with each other's marks. Once the limit is exceeded, he can no longer control any more zombies unless he removes the marks from the existing zombies or buys them from the system. One Tier 1 Spirit Core can be exchanged for 50 marks.
