Cody felt that his car’s speed was far behind Randy’s jumping and gliding. However, he did not give up. He had to stop Randy, no matter what.
Despite Randy’s initial desire to fight with Cody, he cooperates in the end.With Randy, Cody felt he could do many things. So far, he has almost always clashed with other system users, even though they are not all bad.Cody continued to drive, shaking his head to get rid of his sleepiness and fatigue. He didn’t sleep to catch up with Randy. He even eats while driving.As the hours passed, Cody saw the giant tree in the distance. It was the same size as Cody had last remembered. He wanted to speed but couldn’t because of his limited abilities.He could have asked Big Joe to carry him while running. But that was impossible. Ordinary humans like Cody would feel extreme nausea from the shock that Big Joe produces when running.“Come on, Randy.” The young man hissed. “DoOf course, Cody couldn’t believe Jane’s words. “But you killed my friend Randy.” Cody argued. Jane widened her smile. “Because he kept trying to fight me, even though I offered him peace. I guarantee I will not kill others if they do not kill me.” But the fact remains that Jane still attacks Cody’s house. She couldn’t deny that. Cody had no way to prove Jane’s statement that she wouldn’t kill him. “Well…. Maybe it’s better if we go back to discussing my offer.” Cody sighed. “The thing is, it would be better if there was more than one person trying to fight Zeno. You require leveling up, and just want to test your abilities. But I still need to increase my power by eliminating zombies. Your zombies just give you more experience points.” Jane nodded her head. “Yeah, I think it’s a win-win situation.” “You really don’t mind if your minions die, right?” Cody made sure. “It’s a shame if they die, but I still have so many of them, even the ones on
Once they arrived at the farm, Cody told Helena and Gwen everything. At first they were shocked, then asked if Cody believed what Jane said.“Of course not. I won’t be able to trust Jane completely.” In the dining room, Cody leaned his back against his chair. “But this is the best thing we can do right now.”Helena gulped. “What if Jane doesn’t keep her promise and wants to kill us?”“Hopefully that doesn’t happen.” Cody answered, then he fell silent, making the atmosphere in the place even heavier.“You haven’t been able to think of the right way to defeat the mother, right?” Helena grimaced.Cody smiled with a hint of sadness while shaking his head.“Whatever it is, I trust you, Cody.” Gwen smiled. His expression is more positive. “You always succeed.”Cody doesn’t know how long he can rely on his brain and system capabi
It’s been more than a month since Cody has been doing ‘collaboration’ with Jane. Almost every day, he fights various types of zombies.Over time, the zombies he used battered up and were no longer suitable for use. He had to search for their replacements outside the farm.During that time span, Cody leveled up 4 times, making him level 20. But he only picked two new skills. One of those skills he leveled up twice.[Zombie body modifier Lv3: You can modify your zombie body to a certain level][Zombie body hardener: You can harden the outside of your zombies’ bodies]Cody made the hands of two of his zombies look like swords, while the remaining one’s hand turned into a shield. However, Cody still wasn’t happy with the shape of the swords and shield. He felt they were not effective in combat.Should he improve his body modifier skill? But he wants to choose other skills.He was now in the middle of a field of snow,
“Are your mind still connected to the mother?” Cody asked again.The zombie lifted her face and shook her head. Her facial features were still more terrifying than an ordinary human’s, making Cody feel eerie when he remembered she was crying a moment ago.“I have completely cut off my inner connection with mother Jane.” She explained. “She can no longer feel my presence.”Cody continued. “You said earlier, you’re afraid of death, right? Why is that? What makes you think like that? You shouldn’t instinctively have thoughts like that, right?”“It happened when my group and I tested our abilities by fighting a colony with makeshift walls…. I think the leader’s name is Akira Sakuragi.”Cody and Gwen exchanged glances. They will not forget the times when they were in that place.“You watched your friends die?” Helena guessed.The zombie sighed. “
Cody takes the face and scalp from one zombie that makes up Big Joe. He used a knife to do it.Just as he finished that, Stella came with the others. The zombie was wearing clothes that were a bit too tight for her.“Looks like we have to scavenge some clothes for you.” Cody commented, casually carrying the scalp and face.“Yeah, we had to find clothes that fit him well enough from mine and Gwen’s closet.” Helena shrugged. “That’s why it took us a while to do it.”Stella answered. “I’m okay with this. This is enough for me. Look no further outside. That will be troublesome for you guys.”“No, your siblings will get suspicious if they see a zombie in clothes this small.” Gwen explained with a smile.Stella was silent for a moment. “Okay.”“If the weather clears, you can venture outside the farm to find clothes. I’ve fixed our car battery, and for se
The following day, Cody placed DVDs on the table and sat on the couch. He was just trying out an old DVD player he found at Rubble. He fixed it and got it back on.The six-armed zombie’s words yesterday still disturbed his mind. He didn’t expect Stella to be like that. Everything makes more sense now, but Cody remains confused about what to do.Cody saw their car stop in front of the house. Because it uses a battery, Cody can barely hear the vehicle.He got up and went out, then smiled at the three women.“We got it all, Cody.” Gwen got out of the car, then took out two black devices with antennas. “And we finally found this.”“That’s great.” Cody received the walkie-talkie while widening his smile to cover his mood. "We can communicate long distances around the farm."Helena got out of the car too. “Stella is so badass. She is very thorough and can lift rubble so we can search easily.”
Stella looked at the zombie leader and gulped.“D-do you know what happened to me?” Her tears continued to fall. “I feel so weird.”Then Cody appeared from behind one tree, but said nothing and just leaned there.“Please tell me what happened!? I beg you!” Stella panicked. “I’ve severed my mind’s connection with mother’s! Why did I write that letter and walk here against my will!?”Cody couldn’t take it anymore and finally spoke. “Perhaps it would be easier for you to accept this if you knew you didn’t completely break your mind's connection with her, Stella.”Stella’s eyes widened. “What?”“Mother Jane wants to do various experiments with her children. However, not everything is about the fight.” Cody still didn’t look at Stella, and his hands were shaking. “One way is to give some of them human-like behavior, then monitor
[Zombie body hardener lv3: You can harden the outside of your zombies’ bodies][Zombie Liquifier: With this skill, you can make your zombies become liquid, and shape them more easily, according to your wishes. However, the transformation process will be longer]After much consideration, Cody chose the liquifier skill, as well as raising the zombie hardener skill by two levels. Now he is level 23.Cody conducted a test by combining his three zombies into one in various forms. He found that the zombie liquifier took quite a long time to activate until the zombies changed their form altogether. After two hours, they will return to normal.Then Cody also couldn’t find the right formation for his three zombies. Unlike Randy, he had no desire to make them into armor and wings.For him, it doesn’t suit his fighting style. He also feels that being a pilot of those things carries high risks.What if he bleeds while wearing the armor
