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
Cody was analyzing the sphere that was Korre’s communication tool using some of the organic roots. It turned out that he had a skill that could detect any signal.Initially, he couldn’t comprehend the value of the skill and decided against unlocking it. However, after seeing that long-distance communication tool, he changed his mind.Maybe he could detect the anomaly that Korre meant and at the same time determine the direction of drilling by detecting the signal.“Damn.” Stella was about to run out of the cave, but the organic roots entangled her. “I really can’t get out of here, even though Cody freed me.”“This bastard just wants to make us think he’s good by pretending to free us from the cage.” Jane crossed her arms while looking at Cody. “In the end, he will never let us truly be free.”Cody did free Jane, Stella, and the special zombies who had learned to become human. However, he installed several mechanisms that prevented them from leaving the enormous tree.“You’re so afraid
“That’s it, Jay.” Emily walked with Cody, who had possessed one agent in Akira’s community. She had just told him what happened as Jay asked her to repeat her explanation so he could understand better what happened. “She just suddenly became like that.”“Thank you, Emily.” Cody, now taller and with slightly longer hair, nodded. “Things like this are troublesome.”They came to a building that used to be a convenience store. Several people were already standing around that building, but they couldn’t enter because the special zombies and Akira’s men were blocking them.Cody had seen Gwen among the crowd, but of course he didn’t do anything and followed Emily into the building. He narrowed his eyes when he saw a woman whose body was sprouting organic roots that penetrated the ground.“Yeah, this is almost similar to what mother Jane has.” Cody didn’t say those things were identical to Jane’s because there were streaks of bluish light emitting from the organic roots. “Can I ask her a ques
Although the residents disagreed with Akira’s request, they still evacuated according to the leader’s order. The influence of that man was still strong in their minds.“So, you suspect that those who were infected were not system users?” Akira concluded what Cody had just explained to him? He was on top of a building to observe his people exiting the gates, escorted by his soldiers and special zombies.“That’s it.” Cody was already wearing Jay’s face again. “I’ve never heard of two cases of system users appearing almost simultaneously.”“And are you saying that the real system user is among them?” Akira asked again.Cody nodded. “Unfortunately, whoever it is most likely uses a skill to hide their system-user status from other system users like me. It will be very difficult to detect them.”“Anything in mind to resolve this problem?”Cody sighed. “There is a way, but I’m not sure and have never tried it. Recently, I unlocked a skill that can detect any signal. I have a guess that syste
The special zombies brought the two dummies to the large building that housed the residents of Akira’s community. Several people there greeted them.Meanwhile, the other special zombies called the residents one by one to be examined. The other special zombies called the residents one by one for examination, and they scanned Akira and his closest people first.Cody himself had put Jay’s body there from the start. When killing the two infected people, he used another body.The process flowed with no protests, although Cody found some of them whispering.When it was Gwen’s turn to step forward, Cody frowned. He didn’t feel any strange signals from Gwen’s body, but the special zombie who examined her couldn’t pull his palm away from her head.“Errr.... Is this over?” Gwen asked when she realized she was being scanned longer than the others.Not wanting other people to suspect her, Cody gave an order to the special zombie to stop examining her.“Hugo Smith.” The special zombie who had exam
