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
Cody, now wearing the appearance of an old man with white hair, sat in his yard. Next to him was a little girl.“Why did you have to move, Mr. Wolfe?” The little girl pouted. She wouldn’t look at Cody.Cody chuckled. “I just wanted a change of scenery, Sasha. I’ve lived here for years. Maybe it’s time for me to go back to exploring the world.”“But I enjoy talking to you. Your stories are always interesting, even though sometimes I’m not sure if they’re true or not. You might make them up.”Cody laughed and stroked the little girl’s brown hair. “We can always video call each other.”“My mom said that face-to-face conversations are always better…” Sasha found her mother waving at her from the house next door.“I think it’s time for you to go home, Sasha.”Sasha got off the chair and held out her pinky finger to Cody. “But you promised to call me, right?”Cody intertwined his finger with the little girl’s and smiled again. “I promise.” After that, Sasha ran to her house while her mother
After exchanging information about various types of diseases with his data about the special zombies, Cody went to work. He built a structure of microorganisms that could damage any type of body. He didn’t understand the body structure of beings in other dimensions, so he was on guard.But in the end, he couldn’t make something as small as bacteria. So, he preferred to make various organisms the size of dust that could release toxins from within themselves.The toxins were what would make those another dimension beings sick. Even so, Cody made sure they didn’t die. He felt he had to hold his moral high. He wasn’t certain that those beings really wanted to invade the earth. Who knows, they just wanted to do research or diplomacy.If the microorganisms multiplied and became deadly, they could wipe out the entire planet. Cody didn’t aspire to commit mass murders.But Cody and the government agreed that waiting for them to come wasn’t worth it. If it turned out that they wanted to destroy
After that moment, whoever was in the other dimension did nothing to the spy device Cody had sent. He could only assume they didn’t know how to approach that thing yet.This was a time Cody couldn’t miss. He had to do something while that thing was still there. Because that was the only thing that allowed him to connect to the other world.If he was late, they would perform surgery or something, making the spy device unusable. He had sent some more of that thing, but he wasn’t sure if they would still keep it. They could kill them right away.Now, he was in a government room with the president, Tia and Luna as representatives of Zeno’s town, Jane from intelligence, Kevin who represented the navy, Helena from the senate, and various other government departments.They were having a secret meeting.“So, after hearing your explanation, I have come to one conclusion, Mr. Wolfe.” The president, a man with graying and thinning hair, spoke. “You are asking for more of our resources to build y
Helena closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “Yes, I remember someone, but I forgot her name and who she is. She means a lot to me, but not in a romantic way. She’s….”“Your little sister.” Cody cut Helena off.Helena’s chin dropped. “But I’m an only child.”“I won’t explain it too long,” Cody continued. “But I will slowly restore your memory of five years ago, when all that happened.”The senator was about to say something, but he gulped and answered instead. “Okay. Just do it.”Cody made a special zombie in his house approach Helena, but without her knowing. However, Cody also made sure that individual did not get too close to the senator. The most important thing was that Cody made the special zombie signal Helena’s brain little by little.“Hey.” Helena frowned. “Why aren’t you doing anything…”Before she finished speaking, she gasped. Her eyes widened.“Do you remember that memory?” Cody asked.“We used to be friends?” Helena asked back. “And I used to be your right-hand woman….
It turned out that even after quite a long time, Cody had received no news from the spy he sent to the portal. He still saw endless darkness.But that was bliss for him. He had created a system so that his special zombies would work automatically and cooperate with the government, the sea kingdom, or those from Zeno’s town. The special zombies would only provide updates via telepathy. That way, he could often be with Freya, while also looking for a way to free Nigel.And that went on for almost three months. Fall would soon be over, but everything was still the same.Cody wondered how long this peace would last.“If only my position was higher, I would protect you more than this, Cody.” Akira, who was now a major, sighed in his office chair. “Unfortunately, I can only make you invisible in this city. I can’t guarantee that in other cities.”Cody smiled. “That’s okay. I really appreciate it. Freya is also not someone who wants to always go on trips.”Akira was silent for a moment. “Hav
Cody supervised Luna’s body reconstruction through a transparent wall connected to the operating room. They used various mechanical hands to build that woman’s body from the smallest parts.“What do you think, Cody?” Tia came and stood beside that man.“This is the most perfect way to build a body from scratch. I can indeed form a new body, but it still doesn’t fit Luna and her friends.” Cody commented. “They have fundamental differences compared to my special zombie.”“Well, but this method is so slow, while we are still pressed for time. There are still many former commander-in-chief candidates whose bodies we have to rebuild. We are still looking for a solution for that.” Tia sighed. “By the way, isn’t it time you dropped the special zombies’ call? They aren’t the living dead like the ones you met in that apocalypse world, right?”“I don’t know what to call them.” After saying that, Cody left the room to meet Randy, who was sitting outside.The former officer who was sitting on a w
Like the previous battle, Cody prepared his troops on the beach after he provoked the giant dragon. But this time he put the sea king between them, in a fairly high place.At first Cody didn’t know if the remnant would come with the second provocation. However, after a few days, he witnessed that the thing was moving towards the surface of the earth with a greater number of troops.Cody felt he could handle them with troops that were also increased in number and a new strategy. Even so, he still asked the government military to stay ready to fight.As a result, the soldiers were on standby with their weapons. From various rifles, tanks, to fighter planes on warships, kilometers away from them.“Honestly, Cody.” The king took a deep breath on a cliff by the sea. “This might be the moment that makes me the most nervous in my entire life?”Cody guessed. “Because this is your first war on the surface of the earth?”“Well, that too.” The king rubbed his face. “But more than that, I’m fight
Cody used a vehicle with an organic engine that had a higher speed than he modified his body to swim. Together with several troops, he explored deep waters, passing through caves and distant areas. Even to reach the promised place, he and his troops needed two days.Cody raised his eyebrows as he got out of his submarine. He met a muscular man escorted by several mermaids.“Hey, how are you, hero?” The man smiled at Cody.He didn’t have a beard for five years, and his face looked younger. However, from his facial features, Cody was sure that it was the king of the sea kingdom.“You look fresher, your majesty.” Cody shook his hand. He was still trying to confirm that the person in front of him was the king.“Just so you know. After the incident five years ago, for no apparent reason, my strength increased many times over. It also affected my appearance.” The king continued.“So, do you still remember the incident five years ago?” When Cody asked, the king’s aides exchanged glances in c
The military base received some of the remnant’s body parts, and Cody used his special zombies to do the research.“So, you’re saying that what you’re going to do is just a temporary solution to fix Luna and the others’ condition?” Randy asked Cody using a video call.Cody nodded while holding his phone, looking at Randy’s face from the screen. “But don’t worry. I can replicate Zeno’s cells from these samples, so we won’t lose the serum to maintain their condition. Unfortunately, like I said earlier, it won’t be permanent. They’ll probably have to use the serum every certain period and the results won’t be optimal. But I’m sure they’ll still survive.”“Well, at least Luna and the others won’t die and suffer like this,” Randy sighed. “So, how are you? Have you met Freya yet?”Cody shrugged. “I’m still busy with this. But I always try to contact Freya when I have time.”“I hope you can come home to her from time to time.” Randy said. “It’s not just for her, but I’m more thinking about y
