“You’re lying.” Cody put on a bitter smile. “If you really had that many bombers, you would have deployed them to protect you.”
Evan chuckled behind his mask. “Oops, it turns out you are not as stupid as I thought. Well, it looks like this is the end. Go on, do it. It’s up to you what you want to do. I won’t feel any pain.”Cody found that the blood on Evan’s head was a dark color. “You’re a zombie, huh? No wonder you can move in the dark like this. You can also keep running even if you have an accident like that.”“Did you ever know Albert Norris? The previous owner of the farm?”“Yeah, I knew him.” Cody shrugged. “I can say he’s a little crazy.”“He uses the people he turns into zombies.” A long sigh escaped Evan’s mouth. “They become farm protectors and are basically free labor. By turning them into zombies, he ca“Can you explain more about this system user?” Cody asked another question.“His name is Paul Michaels. He attracted passersby to join his house, then made a zombie bite them.” Jeff’s lips trembled when he explained that.Cody sighed. “Then, he will turn them into works of art according to his wishes?”Jeff just nodded with a dark expression.“Wait, he should have a solid reason for doing that, right?” Helena asked.Cody remembered the twins, Ezra and Edna. “Sometimes, humans do things because they can, and to satisfy their desires. There are no laws in this world, too. They feel they will not face any consequences for their actions.”Helena could only lower her chin, while Gwen shifted towards Cody.“Can we help him?” The blonde-haired woman whispered.Cody looked at Jeff, who just looked down in silence.“I know it will be hard.” Jeff spoke after a
One thing that Cody noticed was that his zombies were faster than that muscular zombie. So, he made his two zombies get up, then tackled its legs.As soon as the big zombie fell, Cody’s third zombie smashed its head with an axe. Just a few seconds after that, the muscular walking corpse stopped moving.“That’s so fast!” Jeff gasped. “I thought we were going to get screwed.”Cody also just realized that. With time, his fighting skills improved. Maybe because he has fought so many enemies with various types of power.“Well, I’m glad this could be over quickly.” Cody got out of the car carrying a saw, while Jeff followed behind him.“Ah, it seems like I won’t become that strong.” Jeff discovered that the body of the zombie that Cody defeated had shrunk to the size of an average man.“I can give you enhanced strength and speed, though.” Cody saws off the zombie&r
Cody and Jeff departed a few days later, once Cody had rested and made the plans. He bid farewell to the Bellucci Sisters, who would care for the farm.“Big Joe, huh?” Jeff looked at the giant zombie walking behind them. “With that thing, I feel like we’ll be able to beat Paul Michaels easily.”Cody, who was driving, nodded. “He’s that strong, huh?”“Yeah, he can always fight a horde of zombies with his abilities.” Jeff sighed. “He used those horrible creatures he had, though.”“So, he also lured you and your friends to join him, then he turned you guys into his works of art?”Instead of answering right away, Jeff remained silent with his head down. Cody glanced and raised an eyebrow at him.“There’s a detail I left out, Cody.” Jeff sighed. “Paul is one of my group. In fact, I’ve known him for a long time, before this zombie apocalypse happened.”The revelation triggered Cody to be speechless for a few moments. “Why didn’t you talk ab
As they continued their journey the next day, Cody found Jeff unable to calm down. Jeff repeatedly adjusted his sitting position, and turning his head in various directions many times. The further they traveled, the worse Jeff’s condition became. “I-I’m sorry, Cody.” Jeff’s breathing was getting heavier. “Maybe my mind couldn’t calm down because Paul’s house too traumatized me. And we getting closer to that place, I… I… Once again, I’m sorry.” “It’s okay.” Cody answered with a smile, trying to make Jeff as comfortable as possible. It makes sense, Jeff said that. However, Cody’s guts say something was wrong with this man. Despite Jeff’s non-threatening behavior, Cody felt the need to be more watchful of his traveling companion. Their journey continued, and when evening finally arrived, Jeff pointed to a large house in a luxurious residential area. Cody stopped his car, and also Big Joe was behind them. He observed the house from a distance and found noth
With just one hand movement from Jeff, the strangely shaped creatures came forward to attack. However, Cody was prepared for them.Instead of focusing on one of them, he used Big Joe to hold them back, while the other three zombies made attack after attack.Yes, Cody found it very easy. Not because he had a lot of fighting experience. That might help, but there is a more crucial factor than that.Jeff has provided various information about those creatures, and Cody has made plans for them.And everything Jeff told him was true, from their abilities to the way they moved. Cody grabbed the giant centipede from behind, then twisted it many times until many parts broke.It’s the same for other creatures. Cody can defeat them relatively easily.“What do you really want?” Cody confronted Jeff in a high tone. “Why are they the same as what you told me!?”Jeff should have made them do something different from wha
Cody woke up in the morning after sleeping for a while, but couldn’t find Jeff.“Jeff, where are you?” Cody rushed out of the house with the zombies.Before long, he heard a zombie growled from the house nearby. Cody moves there and finds Jeff doing something.“Don’t worry, you will be exquisite.” Jeff was cutting a zombie into pieces, and a very wide, creepy smile appeared on his face.“Jeff, are you crazy?” Cody’s question made Jeff wince. “Well, you are crazy, but…. Damn, I’m lost for words.”Jeff sighed. “That’s why you have to kill me. Have you found the right way?”Instead of answering, Cody shot Jeff in the head with a gun. Jeff tumbled with a hole in his head and wide eyes.Cody watched him for a few minutes. The bullet in Jeff’s head expelled itself, and the wound closed. He then got up.“Why do you do that?” Jeff sighed
Cody couldn’t get his mind off Jeff. Not only because of his guilt for leaving Jeff in eternal darkness, but Cody still can’t understand that man’s thoughts.Jeff obliterated the crazy person concept in Cody’s head.Cody hoped he would never meet someone like that again. Apart from confusing him, humans like Jeff also waste his time, even though Cody also gets various weapons because of that man.Cody had entered the road leading to the farm, and suddenly a warning appeared on his system menu.[Another system user detected]Four Zombies emerge from the bushes. From their movements, Cody knew that those walking corpses were being controlled by someone.—Randy OwensRole: Zombie Body ManipulatorAttack: B+Defense: BStamina: C—Cody gets out of the car, while making all of his zombies ready to fight. Regardless of who it was, Cody believed he had to remain vigilant.
“That’s…. I don’t know how to respond to that,” Randy spoke with his mouth full of spaghetti.Cody just talked about Jeff from start to finish. All of them who were eating dinner at the dining table could only remain silent listening to Cody’s story, occasionally gasping when they heard something that made little sense.Helena grimaced. “Seems like you have no other choice, huh?”“Yeah, like it or not, I have to do that or Jeff could do something crazy again.” Cody continued to eat his food.Meanwhile, Gwen just remained silent and chewed slowly.“You’re brilliant, Cody.” Randy grimaced. His plate was empty. “You deserve to be my rival. How about tomorrow we fight….”“No.” Cody put the rest of his food in his mouth. “Why would I fight you without a logical goal? You are not threatening me, my friends, or this place.”Randy snort
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
