2024-10-29 19:42:56Those guys didn’t even have time to raise their firearms when the zombies hit them with crowbars or fists.
Chaos escalated, with dogs barking in the background. The humans still tried to fight, but the zombies overwhelmed them. “Don’t get too far behind me, Gwen.” Cody got out of the car and took a rifle that the house guard had been holding. He pointed the weapon at the guard, who swiftly crept away. “Was he also involved in killing your friends, Gwen?” Gwen gulped. “Yeah…” Cody shot the man without hesitation, and Gwen looked away. The weapon’s jolt caused Cody’s injured shoulder to feel as if it might detach, but he didn’t care. This ruined world doesn’t need someone like that guard. The young man turned his attention back to his zombies. The small one fell from a gunshot to his head, while the big one crashed into another man. While Cody was focused on other things, he could only give basic instructions to their brain. He couldn’t make those living corpses remember a series of complicated movements, let alone make them have their own initiative. Despite that, the zombies managed to defeat those people. Cody command the big zombie to lift the last person’s body, then slammed him hard. A thud echoed, and the person didn’t move anymore. Instead of being happy, Cody became even more wary. He had a bad feeling. This is too easy. “We haven’t finished them all yet,” Gwen hissed. “There’s still one more.” “You useless worms!!!” A human roar came out from inside the house. Gwen added. “I believe he is their boss.” A person with pale, grayish skin came out of the house while yawning. Cody’s zombie ran towards him, but he caught it and threw it as far as possible. Cody shot the two-meter-tall man. But the bullet bounced off that man’s skin. He and Gwen couldn’t help but gasp when they saw that. “I told them, if they can’t guard this place, I don’t care if they die.” The yellow-haired man muttered and kicked a corpse. Yawning again, he stretched his body, making his large muscles stand out even more. [Another Zombie System User detected] Cody’s eyes widened at the text in his menu system. — Name: Brigg Howard Role: Zombie Body Manipulator Attack: B Defense: A- Stamina: C+ — “Oh, you also have the power too, huh?” Brigg moved his fingers in the air, just like Cody when he was using his system. “Zombie puppeteer? You can control them?” Cody held his zombie so it wouldn’t attack. He had to think of a way to fight that man first. [If you defeat other system users, you will get fragments of their power] Brigg laughed. “Maybe if I beat you, I can control those zombies, too, Cody Wolfe?” Cody kept aiming the rifle at that man, even though he knew the bullet would have no effect. “How about I tell you a little story?” Brigg yawned again. “Perhaps, by knowing my abilities, you will be more motivated in defeating me. You want to get my power. I’m tired of always fighting weak and unmotivated enemies.” Cody forced a smile onto his face. “I’m listening.” It was the young man’s way of buying time. He still hasn’t come up with an idea to defeat that man. “Ooh, you’re getting enthusiastic. It seems like this will be more interesting.” Brigg grinned, walking towards Cody and Gwen, causing the two to step back. “As you can see, I am a zombie myself.” Gwen widened her eyes, but Cody chuckled. “Let me guess, you can manipulate the bodies of the zombies, but you can’t control them.” The young man replied. Brigg shrugged. “So, this power is useless at first. If I use it, I make the zombies stronger to kill me.” “So, you turned yourself into a zombie? How could that be? If you become a zombie, you will lose your ability to think like a human.” A gigantic laugh escaped Brigg’s mouth. “One day, fate was not on my side. A zombie bit me.” He removed his shirt, revealing a bite mark on his shoulder. “Strangely, I can still think like a human, even as a zombie.” “From then on, you enhanced your own body with your system?” Cody concluded. “That’s how it is.” Brigg turned his body and hit Cody’s zombie, which had been sneaking up on him from behind. “That’s enough chit-chat! Let’s have a real fight!”

Cody’s zombie fell, but Brigg didn’t continue his attack right away.“Come on!” He shouted. “I want to have fun! Don’t fall so easily!”Cody controlled his zombie to tackle that man, but Brigg could hold it and lifted that being and slammed it so hard on the ground.Next, Brigg looks like he’s playing around. He laughed while giving punches and kicks to Cody’s zombie.Cody didn’t even expect himself to win this fight. His zombie cannot defeat Brigg. He was still thinking of other ways to finish that man.“You look for your sister, Gwen.” Cody hissed. “Let me distract Brigg.”“After that, we will run away?” The blonde-haired woman replied.Cody looked at that girl, silent for a moment. “No, you run away with your sister. I will try to kill him.”Yes, Cody couldn’t just let a dangerous person like Brigg wander around.“But…” Gwen looked hesitant.“Go!” Cody made a firmer voice. He handed the rifle to her. “Look for another door to the house! Don’t go through the front door!”Gwen held th

“No!” Brigg broke free, but Cody was so close to him. Despite the unbearable shoulder injury, the young man threw the can with all his strength. The can flew and hitting Brigg’s body, dousing him with petrol. Then Cody shot that man with the gun. As the bullet hit Brigg’s body, an enormous explosion occurred. The impact threw Cody, and he landed hard on the ground. Meanwhile, Brigg screamed in pain, running in various directions with his whole body engulfed in flames. Turns out it’s true. Brigg’s skin can withstand bullets, but it won’t survive being burned. “Are you okay!?” Gwen ran over to Cody, who was having trouble standing up. Not only his shoulders, Cody’s whole body also felt pain. “I’m okay.” Cody’s attention drawn to the woman accompanying the blonde girl. “She’s your sister, Gwen?” She was too different from Gwen. Apart from her black hair color, her facial features are softer and his brown eyes appear smaller. Her appearance was like a mix of Caucasian and Asian. “
Zombie Control System 9 – Asking for Help
“I don’t care. We have to go north.” Emily’s hands were shaking. “Or I will kill you.” Cody sighed. “You can’t think straight because you’re too desperate. Your words make little sense.” Emily’s tone got hoarse. “I have tried to go north alone, and I have faced many difficult obstacles. Like being kidnapped by that group… I can’t take it anymore… You have the power to fight evil humans and zombies.” “If you shoot me, it’s the same. I died and I couldn’t protect you.” Cody lowered his rifle. “Sorry, but Gwen joined me first.” Emily lowered the gun. “Gwen wanted to go south just to look for her one sister. Meanwhile, in the north there are my father and mother, as well as my younger siblings... There are more than one of them... They might still be there.” Cody just gave Emily an icy stare. “You have a family, right?” She walked over to the young man. “You should know how to worry about your family...” “No, my family died a long time ago.” Cody interrupted and put on a faint smile
Zombie Control System 10 – The Possessor
“There are too many of them.” Emily hissed. “There isn’t even a gap between them.”Maybe the distance between the zombies was only a matter of inches. Even small children would most likely not be able to enter among them.“Yeah, maybe there are hundreds of them.” Cody hissed.Seeing a zombie coming towards them, Gwen was about to drive the car again, but Cody tapped her on the shoulder and shook his head.“I think it’s him.” Cody said that because the zombie knocked on the car window. There’s no way an ordinary zombie could do that.Cody opened the window a bit, and his hand held the rifle underneath.It won’t hurt if he’s on guard. He doesn’t know this system user yet, after all.“Is that you, friend?” Cody asked.“Yeah… My name is…. Mike….” The zombie spoke, also hoarse and almost inaudible. “Please, save me…. I’ve run out of food…. That place…. So scary…. I’ve already…. So desperate…”Cody took a deep breath. “It will be complicated. There are a lot of them.”He fell silent, looking

Cody’s zombies manage to catch Mike.“You think you can stop me with this?” After Mike said that, he possessed one of Cody’s zombies’ bodies.Then, he jumped off the building.“Sh*t!” Cody cursed. His Zombies are now down to two.Mike possesses another Cody’s zombie, but this time Cody commands his remaining zombies to pull Mike away and throw him into the middle.“You intend to leave just one zombie and leave none for me to control, right? And with that zombie, you will attack me, right?” Cody asked. His eyes focused on Mike with his zombie body.Mike rose to his feet. “Sorry, this is what I have to do to get stronger.”Then Mike ran back to the edge of the roof. Like before, Cody controlled his zombies to restrain Mike. However, Mike possessed one of Cody’s walking corpses again, then jumped off the building.Cody gets his only remaining zombie to throw Mike back into the center a second time.“You won’t stand a chance, Cody.” Mike spoke again. “I appreciate your help. But I have to

“Did you guys hear that?” Cody pointed his flashlight in various directions, but found nothing.Emily also did the same thing. “Yeah, I can hear it, but don’t know where it’s coming from.”“How is it, Cody Wolfe?” The voice continued. “Did you enjoy the system I gave you?”Cody frowned. “If you really gave me this power, then I thank you, Zeno. But can you show yourself?”“You don’t need to see me until that time comes.” Zeno continued. “Eventually, we will meet. That is, if you can survive until the end, Cody Wolfe.”Giving up on looking for Zeno, Cody lowered his flashlight. The voice emanated from multiple directions. It would be difficult to find the exact source.“What is your purpose in giving me that power?” Cody hissed. He felt uncomfortable hearing that voice.“The thing is, I’ve lived for thousands of years on eart
Zombie Control System 13 – A Farm
Three days have passed since they met Mike. Cody controlled four zombies to defeat several other walking corpses in front of a mini market on the edge of town. Two of Cody’s zombies use shovels as weapons. One uses a baseball bat, while the other uses his bare hands. Opponents showed no resistance, because they were unaware of Cody and others hiding behind a distant car. “Soon we can check that place.” Cody said as he peeked out from behind a car. Not getting any answer, he glanced at Gwen and Emily, who had blank expressions and said nothing. Gwen still experienced trauma after shooting Mike, while Emily’s thoughts remained focused on her hometown in the North. It was natural that they were reluctant to talk. Cody can only hope that their condition doesn’t drag on and endanger their own mental health. [Level Up] Cody obliterated all of those zombies and was now level 7. During the few days of travel, he has exterminated quite a lot of zombies.

“A system user, huh?” Jason asked as he led Cody and the others to the farm area. “My and Tommy’s father, Albert, are also a system user. Because of him, our consciousness could return.”There’s only Jason. Tommy had run to the main house to inform Helena of Gwen’s arrival.“So, you guys spread the transmission so that people gather here?” Cody responded.Jason looked back and smiled. “We used to go around using cars to do mobile transmission, but we don’t do that anymore because we run out of gas. In fact, the car you use is the one we usually use.”“I see.” Cody glanced at a pig pen near to them. Those pink animals still looked healthy, and they were being guarded by a zombie.“Are you guys still scared? That’s why you don’t talk much, right?” Jason adjusted his hat and smiled once again. “Well, it feels strange living with zombies li

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
