A male special zombie stood near the enormous tree. A female special zombie with an enlarged stomach stood in front of him.Not long after, the special zombie’s stomach burst, releasing an embryo and blood. She then fell down.“You’re Cody, right?” Stella asked. “What the f*ck are you doing?”The special zombie looked at Stella, then her face changed to look like Cody’s.“Does Freya want to have a child?” Jane frowned. “You’re trying to emulate a real pregnancy, right?”“Basically so.” Cody controlled another female special zombie to approach him. “You saw our child in the illusion, right?”Jane rubbed her chin. “This is interesting. I didn’t expect she would be like that. She has a maternal instinct, huh?”The female special zombie’s stomach exploded again and Cody sighed hard.“You’re starting to love her, huh?” Stella asked. “You’re willing to do something stupid like that for her.”Cody looked at Stella again. “Well, I just feel sorry for her.”Cody didn’t want to admit it because
“Sorry to say this,” Stella muttered. “But that thing looked horrendous.”Stella referred to a small airplane-like object made from special zombies and organic roots. Since he made it in a short period, Cody didn’t think about aesthetics.“Well, you look more handsome now.” Jane threw a sarcasm.Cody put on a pair of glasses on his face. He was imitating one of Jane’s children who used to be trained as humans. If he used Cody’s identity, it would be confusing. They would wonder how could Cody be in two places at the same time?“Thanks for the compliment.” Cody replied. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of Josh’s image.”After saying that, Cody boarded the airplane and piloted it to fly. He had only been testing it for a while and now he was having a hard time controlling that thing.But unfortunately, he didn’t have the luxury of time. Those people could die at any moment. That would be a shame. Moreover, Cody suspected that one of them could turn zombies into humans.With that, maybe he c
Of course, Cody didn’t tell the truth, especially since he was now pretending to be someone else. He told a story as if he was the person Cody chose as partner to do the initial test given by Zeno.Randy also took the test and, unfortunately, died.“Is that so?” Luna shed tears. “Why didn’t Randy choose me to be his partner on the test? At least I could revive him as a zombie. Then, after a while, I would return him to being a human.”“I don’t know, but I got the impression that he didn’t want his friend to be in danger.” Cody explained. “I only met him for a short time, but he was a good person. That’s why I considered him a friend, too.”“That’s sounds like him.” Luna put on a faint smile.“I’d love to tell you more about Randy, but we have to think of a way out of here.” Cody continued. “We’ll use the plane up there. I’ll fix it. It’s very dangerous if we go through that path full of poisonous zombies.”Unfortunately, Cody could not fly to take Luna alone. The special zombies that
Cody had already attached five zombies to his plane, and he was already at his limit. His stamina had not fully recovered, after all.He was so tired that he sat down, his breath starting to get labored.“Maybe we should postpone this for the time being.” Luna looked at Cody with a grimace. “I know you can’t take it anymore.”“No.” A bitter smile adorned Cody’s face. “I found one irregular zombie among them. While the others walked in a pattern, this particular zombie just stood in place, and would stare at every zombie I possessed.”“Oh, no.” Luna gasped. “What will you do, then?”Cody didn’t know if he would be able to put up a fight. “Like it or not, I have to fix this thing quickly.”Luna opened her mouth to argue, but she couldn’t. Cody wanted to reassure her, but he didn’t want to give her false hope.“If you believe in God, then pray for me.” Cody smirked, then possessed the last zombie.He sighed when he found the possessed zombie quite far from the emergency exit. He then gla
“Sorry.” Cody mumbled as Luna bandaged his hand. “I couldn’t hold myself back anymore. Maybe I’ve depended too much on my system all this time that I didn’t know what to do.”Luna gave Cody the last bandage, and he flinched. Realizing that, Luna raised her eyebrows.“Are you feeling any pain?” She asked.Cody nodded. “Yeah, and the pain is getting worse as time goes by. Maybe it’s also because of the poison from the zombies.”“I see.” Luna took a breath. She seemed about to say something, but held back.“You want to know where we’re going?” Cody guessed. “Well, I haven’t told you about the community with some awakened humans and zombies. It’s on a farm. We make our own food. It’s not much, but it’s still enough.”“Awakened zombies?”Cody smiled. “Our leader, Cody Wolfe, can restore the consciousness of zombies. He’s not as good as you, who can actually turn any zombies back into humans, though.”“I see.” Luna closed her eyes. “But I hope you get some more rest before we leave, Josh. I
Cody’s purpose in asking Luna such a thing was to find something strange in the woman. Maybe the strangeness would show that she was an illusion.However, Luna’s story was reasonable, comprehensive, and seemed natural. Instead of being suspicious, Cody was even more convinced that Luna was really human.Now he and Luna were walking towards the farm. Cody didn’t know when he and this girl would arrive there. Besides the very far distance, they would encounter various obstacles.Sometimes Cody checked the cars in various places. Unfortunately, he didn’t find a single one that was still in good condition. Their tires were all flat. Maybe because nobody had attended to those vehicles for a long time.Without realizing it, it had been almost a year since that terrible big incident happened.Cody banged the head of a regular zombie against the wall, making it bleed. He then let that walking corpse fall to the floor.Luna just stared at him and gulped. Realizing that, Cody sighed.“Sorry.” H
“I don’t know, Cody.” Luna replied.“Well, I’ll have to gamble then.” Cody continued to concentrate on gathering his remaining power into his legs. The longer he waited, the more he realized that if he delayed this, it would be too late. His power would run out and he couldn’t do this anymore to escape.Cody couldn’t make his legs like a kangaroo’s like that time. His power wasn’t enough for that. That’s why he used his liquify skill to make the muscles in his legs bigger. He also used his strength and speed enhanced skills, but only on his legs.Luckily, he could still use some of his skills even though he couldn’t access his system.Luna looked like she wanted to talk about Cody, who kept wincing. Cody was indeed in pain.“Sorry.” Cody held his breath. “I’ll finish in a minute.”However, Cody could only do that towards the evening. He didn’t want to go at night because his ability to see in the dark had decreased, so Cody stuck to his plan and lifted Luna’s body.“Sorry and hold on.
Cody combined the two special zombies he summoned and made them into a motorcycle that floated on the road. He had recovered, so he could do it with ease.“Still feel weird?” Cody asked Luna who was riding behind him.Luna grimaced. “Yeah, even though I’ve been riding this for a long time, I can’t erase the fact that this thing used to be the zombies,”Cody chuckled and continued driving. Not long after, they arrived at the farm and the villagers greeted them. The motorcycle surprised some of them.“This is Luna.” Cody introduced that girl to them. “She is a system user who can turn the zombies back into humans.”That made the awakened zombies gasped. They surrounded Luna and bombarded her with various questions. Luna became overwhelmed and couldn’t even answer them because she was confused.“Enough.” Helena pulled Luna away from the crowd. “She must be very tired from the long journey. You guys can ask later after she’s rested.”After that, the fake Cody approached the real one. “Jos
