Chapter 90 Apocalyptic Fall, Zombie Siege 1
"5283, didn't you say why is my body so stiff?"
"Host, it's because you're a zombie!"
Luo Shu stood blankly in the corner, watching the zombies in front of her devour a human body, quietly receiving the transmission of the plot.
This world was mutated due to the spread of some kind of radioactive material, which caused a new species to emerge: zombies.
This virus is highly contagious and extremely virulent, dividing humanity into three camps.
The first type, those who cannot produce antibodies in their bodies, become zombies.
Early-stage zombies lack the ability to think, have bluish-white skin, a predatory instinct towards humans, are very strong, and have better physical attributes than humans.
Intermediate-level zombies possess a certain degree of self-thinking ability and some special abilities, such as the ability to control water flow. Intermediate-level zombies can command lower-level zombies.
Advanced zombies can think. Apart from having black fingernails and blood-red eyes, they are no different from humans. Advanced zombies can lead intermediate zombies.
The ultimate evolution of zombies is the Zombie King, who can command all zombies. When evolved to this level, their appearance is indistinguishable from that of humans.
The second type is the superhumans. These people have developed antibodies against the zombie virus, their genes have mutated, and they have gained superhuman abilities, such as manipulating natural elements like wind, thunder, fire, and electricity, or becoming incredibly strong. These people have become the main force in resisting zombies.
The third type is ordinary people who have not been infected by the virus. These people have no special abilities and are like the unsung worker ants in the anthill, filling every corner of the apocalypse and suffering every day.
The plot of this world is that the female protagonist is reborn. In her previous life, the apocalypse happened, and she fled with her boyfriend, only to be abandoned halfway. She risked her life and broke a leg to enter a nearby base, where she barely survived for five years. Finally, the base was breached, and she died.
This time, she was reborn too late, already when she was escaping with her boyfriend. However, she awakened her spatial abilities. This time, her boyfriend did not abandon her. The female protagonist, Huang Ling, took the initiative to leave the group. That scumbag even tried his best to persuade her to stay, but Huang Ling refused.
Then, on her way to the first base, she met the male protagonist, Xiang Xingchen. The two became acquainted and helped each other in the apocalypse, carving out a new world for themselves.
What does this have to do with Guan Luoshu?
She was just a zombie now, and the lowest level of zombie at that. She hesitated for a moment before raising her hand. Her skin was pale and stiff, and a cluster of orange-red flames appeared at her fingertips. This was her special ability.
After the five zombies in front of them finished eating the human, one of them staggered toward Luo Shu. This zombie was the strongest of the five. Luo Shu had just transformed into a zombie and still had the aura of a human on her body. This zombie wanted to eat her.
High-level zombies have a natural instinct to prey on low-level zombies. The zombie with half its face rotting was getting closer and closer to Luo Shu, and it looked like it was about to bite her. Luo Shu's pale arm went straight through the approaching head and passed through the long-rotten zombie.
When she pulled her arm out of the zombie's head, dark blue-green brain matter was still dripping from it, and it was emitting a foul stench, but fortunately Luo Shu couldn't smell it.
She opened her hand, and a crystal core lay in her palm.
In the beginning, many superhumans tried to absorb these crystal cores and succeeded. Their power increased wildly. However, they gradually discovered that any superhuman who absorbed a large number of crystal cores would eventually mutate into a zombie. In the year the female protagonist died, the survivor base announced the rules for using crystal cores. Exceeding the limit would inevitably lead to death.
But this is just right for zombies.
There are two directions in the evolution of species. Evolution has only just begun, and who knows if zombies are not a correct form of evolution?
Only a month had passed since the apocalypse, and Luo Shu was staying in one of the most bustling shopping malls in Shenzhen. In B City, armed forces could suppress the unrest, but Shenzhen did not have that capability. In a short time, this place had become a gathering place for zombies, and there was not a single living person on the surface.
Why is Luo Shu here? It's because they were originally supermarket customers. When danger came, they hid in the cold storage room where fresh food was stored and survived for a month on the food inside. When the food ran out, the group had to come out to find something to eat.
Unexpectedly, the area was surrounded by zombies, and the group perished there. The zombies had just eaten one of Luo Shu's companions.
This large shopping mall is no longer the glorious place it once was. Bloodstains are everywhere, and the items are extremely messy. Nothing is missing, though, because zombies can be seen wandering around almost everywhere.
This shopping mall probably has more than ten thousand zombies.
Luo Shu walked forward, collecting a lot of crystal cores along the way. She casually grabbed a canvas bag and filled it more than halfway.
When she reached the place where the bottled water was placed, she took a bottle of water, carefully washed her hands, and then, still holding the other bottle, strolled leisurely to a nearby mother and baby room.
Luo Shu wiped out all the zombies inside and harvested a bag full of crystal cores.
Why was Luo Shu able to kill so many zombies?
That's because as soon as he arrived in this world, he discovered that the energy inside the zombies here was very similar to the energy inside the monsters in the previous world. As an ascended powerhouse in the previous world, Luo Shu had naturally read several cultivation techniques for monsters. When she activated them, it was indeed good; the energy increased.
That's why she was able to kill so many zombies.
She sat on a stool in the mother and baby room, opened the cloth bag and began to absorb the crystal core. This crystal core was the same as the magic core that monsters used every day. In this way, it seems that the two worlds have something in common.
In one afternoon, Luo Shu absorbed all the crystal cores and successfully entered the third stage.
Both superhumans and zombies are divided into 1 to 10 levels. Levels 1-3 are low-level zombies, levels 4-6 are mid-level zombies, levels 7-9 are high-level zombies, and level 10 is the legendary zombie king.
This feeling of being filled with energy was really great, and Luo Shu was very satisfied.
Tier 3 is basically the highest level in the early stages of the apocalypse, which has only been going on for a month. Even the male and female protagonists are only at Tier 2.
The flames on Luo Shu's fingertips grew smaller and smaller, but their color was a crimson gold, which looked terrifying. She threw a spark onto a zombie whose brain she had ripped out, and in a moment, the zombie was burned to ashes, leaving only a handful of black ash.
Luo Shu was very satisfied with the effect, but at this moment her body energy was limited, and she could only use this flame about ten times.
She hunted ten more zombies, obtaining a crystal core, and then leisurely returned to the maternity ward to cultivate, repeating her usual routine.
Until all the zombies in the building were slaughtered, the surrounding zombies dared not enter the building anymore.
Luo Shu successfully entered the fifth rank, and only two months had passed. If word got out, it would surely shock the world.
