Cody’s scream attracted the giant zombie’s attention. It turned its head back and growled when it saw Cody.The young man jumps down, then lets his zombies fight.Cody’s first target was the feet of the giant walking corpse. He made his machete holder zombie attack the enemy’s heels.However, it proved to be a greater challenge than he had imagined. That giant zombie dodged.A fierce battle ensued. The giant zombie can block or avoid attacks that come at him. Several times it even punched Cody’s zombies.However, the number of Cody’s minions was an advantage. They pushed the giant zombie away.While the undead continued to fight, Cody approached the man whom the giant zombie had been chasing. The black-haired man with a thick beard remained sitting on the asphalt with his mouth open, too amazed at what was happening.“It’s okay.” Cody held out his hand. “I think we’re s
“There’s no rule that says we can’t leave once we join them, right?” Cody, just out of the car, asked.Shawn shrugged. “Nope. They might try to convince you to stay if you’re important, but they’ll let you go in the end.”Cody glanced at Emily, who was pacing back and forth near the car.“I wonder what life is like inside.” Gwen muttered. She was still sitting in the driver’s seat.“It’s more normal than being outside.” Shawn replied. “But don’t expect it to be the same as your old life.”The gate of that place opened, and a few individuals emerged. Emily widened her eyes to find someone with short hair and a thin mustache among them.“Dad!” she ran to the middle-aged man.“Emily? Are you really Emily?” He then smiled and embraced his daughter’s hug.“I was really worried about you, Dad.” Emily sobbed,
“So, they are asking for your share of supplies and will destroy this place if you refuse?” Cody repeated the explanation from Shawn.The young man does not get notifications regarding other system users. He guessed because they were still far away.Akira rubbed his face and said, “Yeah, and they ask for quite a lot. If only that didn’t happen, then we could accommodate more people. Actually, we don’t mind sending food to them, if only they don’t ask for much. I’m not even sure if they can finish all that food before it spoils.”“They want to show their dominance.” Cody’s emotions overflowed. He couldn’t find a logical reason for the twins to do that. “I’m going to meet them to check something. When will you guys give those supplies to them?”“This afternoon…. But this is dangerous... Are you sure? If they get offended, they can kill you. I didn’t underestimate your speaking skills… Ah….” Akira rubbed his chin while nodding. “You’re going to use a
The next morning, Shawn took a deep breath as he came to Cody.“Mr. Sakuragi asked me to accompany you to finish the zombies.” Shawn said in a tone devoid of enthusiasm. “He said, I am someone who knows this area because I am from here. Well, at least I can be with Gwen Bellucci. It was a win, I guess.”Gwen, about to enter the car, stood stunned.Cody felt Shawn was the person Akira assigned to watch over him. But Cody could only guess why Akira chose Shawn. Maybe the electrical team didn’t want Shawn anymore, and the others had to do their own jobs. So, only Shawn was available.“Let’s work together, then.” Cody smiled as he shook the man’s hand.Gwen asked when the two men entered the car. “Is your shoulder okay, Cody?”The young man moved his arm a bit. “It still hurts a little, but I think it’s okay.”“Gwen!!! Why did you go!?” Someone ran from a di
In the end, Cody left the community with Shawn alone. They chose an area far from the twins so that they would not interfere with Cody’s leveling.“So, you are a zombie puppeteer, and there are other roles?” Shawn, who was still sitting in the car, asked.“Yeah, but I think those who have other roles will be able to unlock zombie control skills when they level up.” Cody, standing outside the car, answered. He focused on his three zombies, who were engaged in a fight with a three meter tall zombie. The fight happened far from him.Shawn nodded. “That’s why that twin can control their own giant zombie. Will you be able to control them later, too?”“I don’t know.” Cody sighed. In fact, he didn’t know whether leveling up the possession skill could make his spirit moved to one of those massive zombies.And after he possesses the giant zombie and wins, a new problem will arise. What would happ
From the various information Cody got, he concluded the twins were childish and liked to play around. However, what they were playing was as dangerous as when they pulled Akira’s leg.This time, Cody drives his car, which has an electric engine installed, so he doesn’t need to control his zombie to push the vehicle. He just made them run beside him. That way, he can save his energy to control them.Cody felt that by showing his true form, the twins would be easier to persuade.Cody spoke to the twins on the roof after parking the car. “Morning. Let me introduce myself. I’m the zombie puppeteer who sent goods to you.”He wore a big smile to prevent his anger from being reflected on his face.“Huh? Why did you come here?” Ezra, the brother, spoke with his mouth full of food. “Today is not the schedule for delivering goods.”Eden stood up, her mouth also full of the food she was chewing. “You want
It turns out, even after going up one level, Cody hasn’t been able to possess one of the zombie giants. He needed a few more play sessions with the twins to reach level 10.And it drained his mind and wore him out. Ezra and Eden demand that Cody extend the duration of the game, and they don’t care about Cody’s reasons.Apart from that, the twins’ behavior also triggered Cody. Apart from the annoying voices, they started cursing dirty words at Cody, even calling Cody’s mother inappropriate names.What affected Cody the most was pretending in front of the twins and keeping them happy.“Hey, I’m bored with this game.” Ezra yawned after the seventh game was over. “Tomorrow, come here with a new game.”“Yeah, and the games have to be really fun,” Eden added while munching on boiled potatoes.Ezra put on a smirk. “Well, if you don’t do that tomorrow, then we might do something
After the zombie-filled house incident, Cody had trouble sleeping. He stepped outside the apartment for fresh air, despite the low visibility because of lack of light..“Can’t sleep, Cody?” Gwen approached that man.Cody glanced at the blonde-haired woman. “You, too?”“Yeah, I’ve been like this for a few days since joining this place.” Gwen shrugged. “How about you? Is it because tomorrow you fight that giant zombie?”Cody sighed and massaged his forehead. “Yeah, maybe that’s one reason, but there’s another…. Sorry, but I can’t tell you.”“It’s okay.” Gwen smiled.Cody then looked at that woman again. “I don’t think I can continue to stay in this place. After defeating the twins, I’ll leave Gwen. Maybe I’ll go back to Norris Farm and stay there.”At least for a while. He still intends to become strong in o
