The Zombie King's crystal core was injected into his body, and Lin Su's fading consciousness was pulled back. When he sat up from the ground, the bloody flesh on his arm was rapidly repairing.
Zombies do not need to eat, but they are happy to turn all living individuals into lifeless beings. Low-level zombies bite completely out of instinct.
As for the higher levels, like the example of humans and vampires, even if they once belonged to the same species, when the species are divided into different categories and the power is unequal, the disputes and imbalance will play a decisive role.
In the memory, the original body was named □□Fei, a wood-type mutant. The time now is the early and late stages of the apocalypse. Everywhere has become a mess. Small bases are everywhere, and the strong are respected. Only those who control the army in the large bases and the strong with superpowers stand side by side, barely maintaining the living space for mankind in the apocalypse.
As a second-level wood-type mutant, he was not very conspicuous among the gold, fire, thunder and ice mutants, but in this situation where most zombies had not yet reached the second level, it was still no problem for him to protect himself.
But in the end times, when there is a fight for resources and no legal rules to restrain them, the suppressed side of people's hearts is completely exposed. The original body had a conflict with another gold-type mutant in the base when they were competing for a second-level crystal core. He thought it was just an internal conflict. Even if they didn't like each other, they would not have any second thoughts when the team set out to find supplies. However, he didn't expect that when they faced a small zombie tide together, he was directly pushed into the zombie pile and became bait, which gave the person who harmed him a chance to escape.
The gold-type mutant was named Wang Jianfeng. As the enemy of his original body, this was the first name Lin Su remembered.
Looking out, I was filled with sorrow. The surrounding houses had long been dilapidated and turned into ruins due to long-term lack of management and uncontrolled fighting.
Even if human civilization can survive this catastrophe, many things will regress by decades or even longer.
At this point in the apocalypse, large bases are everywhere and small bases are scattered everywhere. It is not that they do not want to seek the protection of large bases, but they may encounter countless dangers during a rash migration, and even the entire base may be completely destroyed halfway through.
The base where the original body was located was called Linyang Base. Including ordinary people, there were only a few hundred people in total. The world line of this world did not see a glimmer of hope until the vaccine appeared many years later. By that time, many small bases had already disappeared in the long years of confrontation, and had no choice but to be annihilated in the zombie tide.
If left alone, the original body's enemy will also die, but letting him die without repentance is too easy for such a person.
The most terrifying thing about the end of the world is not the competition for resources, but the loss of humanity. Even after the end of the world, such people will not be able to return to normal human life.
The zombies surrounding him gathered around Lin Su indistinctly. They had green faces and fangs, their clothes were torn, and their bodies were covered with green corpse spots and dried blood. There were adults, children, men and women.
There was no need to get close, the stench of corpses was already everywhere, and only a few zombies had clean spots on their clothes. Even though he had swallowed the crystal core of the Zombie King, he didn't really want to stay in this cemetery-like environment every day.
Based on the experience of the apocalyptic world he had visited before, the Zombie King has the power to repair his body. There is no problem with his vision and smell. If nothing unexpected happens, his five senses will be regained, but he will no longer have blood and a beating heart.
Lin Su covered his heart with his hands. It was as calm as a stone. He could have no blood, but if he wanted to blend into the human world, he had to have a pulse and a beating heart.
It is not difficult to simulate the frequency of heartbeat. You just need to use strength continuously. Lin Su estimated the normal human heartbeat and began to beat it little by little.
But perhaps he held his heart for too long, 06 asked: [Host, did you fall in love at first sight with someone?]
There seemed to be a hint of worry in the mechanical voice.
Lin Su's heartbeat, which had been pounding, almost calmed down again: [It doesn't mean that I've lost my sense of aesthetics just because I've become a zombie.]
No matter what these zombies looked like in their lifetime, the ones with green faces and fangs are definitely not good-looking now. The aesthetic taste of irrational zombies is fresh flesh and blood, and the aesthetic taste of those who regain their sanity is no different from that of humans.
[I thought you had a zombie aesthetic, sorry.] 06 said.
Just like if it wants to know whether a human being is beautiful or not, it can only analyze based on big data and then draw conclusions by comparing the data. However, if it looks at other systems, it can tell whether a person is beautiful or not at a glance.
For example, the luxurious streamlined body, the neatly arranged data, and even the small zeros inside may be filled with cuteness.
[Are you trying to stop me from falling in love?] Before the mission was announced, Lin Su sent a signal to the zombies surrounding him to disperse. After they made way, he walked towards the Linyang base.
"Absolutely not. Our system respects the personal freedom of our hosts. We would never do anything to interfere with your relationship. You cannot slander me." 06 said righteously.
If there is a complaint, the system may be sent back to the factory for repair. It may become useless again after finally becoming somewhat useful.
06 I feel like all the data around me is rejecting this thing.
Lin Su understood 06's thoughts: [What kind of zombie crystal core is this time?]
Other things can be put aside for now. The most important thing at the moment is to teach those beastly people a lesson.
[This whole system, all done in one go, cost the host a total of five million star coins.] 06 reported.
This value was equivalent to the highest reward of a mission. Just as Lin Su understood the system, the system also understood its host. Lin Su chuckled and said, "Well done."
Getting the best at once can save you from all subsequent troubles. As for star coins, you should be able to earn them back with the extra rewards this time.
The Linyang base is a small base with only a few hundred people. It is more like a village than a base. Dozens of low courtyards are combined together, surrounded by high walls built with bricks and stones, and iron gates are closed. It is enough to block some invading zombies before they evolve to a high level.
This base is mostly populated by ordinary people, and there are only a dozen or so people with special abilities. Every loss is a huge loss to the base.
"I'm sorry. We encountered a small zombie wave this time, and □□fei got too deep into it. We couldn't save him in time, so he died," said the thin, crew-haired man standing in the small square. "But □□fei's death wasn't in vain. We found some vegetables and fruits while searching for supplies this time, so we can have seeds and hope for the future."
The faces of the people standing together were a little numb. They were panicked by the death of a person with superpowers, but no one had any sadness on their faces. It was not until they heard the seed that some people's faces showed a little hope.
