“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
A few days after Luna agreed to Cody’s request, every night Cody deployed his troops to look for a female zombie. It wasn’t easy because basically the zombies around the farm had transformed into humans.Therefore, Cody had to send his special zombies very far from that place. Unfortunately, he couldn’t do it optimally because their numbers were still limited. Many of them had already become part of big Jordy and guarded the farm, after all.One thing that made Cody feel like he had to do it as soon as possible was that Freya’s body degraded, even though it wasn’t visible from the outside. Because she did nothing and just stayed in the tent, Cody felt like it was because of her thoughts.In the middle of the night, Cody sat in the living room of the house and held his head. He had been sending those special zombies for almost two weeks, but the results were still zero. There wasn’t a single regular female zombie available for use.Cody was surprised by Freya, who entered the living ro
Luna flinched as she glanced at Cody, who was transferring Freya’s brain to the body. Then, Cody covered the female zombie’s head with his liquify skill.However, Cody didn’t stop there. He molded the female zombie’s body to resemble Freya’s. He even took the eyeballs and hair from Freya’s previous body so that she wouldn’t be too different from her original form. He also took some of Freya’s body surface and mixed it into the body’s skin, so that her skin color was also like the real Freya.“Luna, please.” Cody requested.Luna nodded, looking at Freya, who was still unconscious. She really looked like the real Freya now.After opening her system menu, Luna clicked on her modifier skill. However, Freya didn’t get up right away.“T-this time I can choose this skill.” Luna got nervous. “The effect should be almost immediate.”“Come on, Freya.” Cody could feel activity in that woman’s brain, a sign that she was still alive. “You can do it.”Instead of waking up, Freya had convulsions. Co
Arriving at the tree, Freya found a large dome made of organic roots. Someone had moved the cage that trapped Stella, Jane, and the other special zombies somewhere.Upon entering the place, Freya found a large bed and some other furniture.There was also an electric heater and a portable lamp. Those things were connected to the organic roots. Freya didn’t understand how those things could produce electricity, likely from the elemental power that Cody acquired after defeating the king.“I’m sorry because I can only assemble this.” Cody approached his lover. “And it’s difficult to order those kids to find matching items.”The furniture did have contrasting colors. The table was pink like it was for girls, the bed was dark blue with flowers, the wardrobe looked classic with full carvings, and some others really didn’t match each other.“This is okay with me...” Freya touched Cody’s cheek with her mouth slightly open. “Is this real warmth? I’ve never felt it before. This is different from
Big Jordy moved from the farm to the enormous tree with the residents watching. Cody planned to give the giant a drilling feature so that it could enter the underground to the real Korre.From a distance, Gwen watched Cody who put his arm around Freya’s shoulder.“How about we plan their wedding?” Helena, standing next to her sister, muttered. “Something like that will not only make them happy but also the other people here. No one would be unhappy when a wedding happens.”“Yeah, I think that’s a good idea.” Gwen sighed, then left.Helena raised an eyebrow, then followed her. “Hey, what’s wrong with you? You never act like this every time you reject a guy. You’ll always be calm and act like nothing happened.”Instead of answering, Gwen quickened her pace. Helena sighed, seeing that.“Go on. I’ll follow you forever. I won’t tire of walking like this. I’m a zombie.” Helena said.Gwen just stopped behind a shed. She then turned around to face Helena with a bitter smile and teary eyes.He
