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
In the afternoon, Shawn was outside, gazing at an empty expanse of land dotted with snow. Cody approached him and handed him a cup of hot chocolate.“Thanks.” Shawn smiled as he accepted the drink.Cody sipped his drink, then studied Shawn’s face for a moment. “Is there any other accident in your colony? Not including occasional people becoming zombies, of course.”Instead of answering, Shawn fell silent. His hand holding the cup was shaking and Cody noticed it.However, Cody waited until Shawn wanted to talk.“There was only one notable incident, and it had no connection to our leader. He no longer does anything excessive because our residents are afraid of him.” Shawn took a deep breath and the tremors in his hands disappeared. “There was someone who had an accident. She slipped and hit her head hard. She was conscious initially, but now she is in a coma.”“So, she can still survive?”
When he arrived at Akira’s colony, Cody found black flags with several red lines in that place. They fluttered in the wind.“Well, over time, we operated like a small country.” Emily explained. “My father established several roles that you can find in government.”“I can see him doing that.” Cody shrugged. “I don’t know if it’s something bad or not, though.”The gate to the place opened, and when Cody’s car drove in, several people ran towards it.“It looks like they’re camping around here to wait for Gwen.” Emily sighed.Cody chuckled. “Well, apparently they still have this kind of freedom.”“As long as they do their job well and don’t cause problems, then we allow almost anything, basically.” Emily got out of the car and spoke to them. “Sorry, guys. Gwen isn’t coming with us.”They complained of disappointment,
One day passed after Cody’s arrival in the colony. He pretended to be patrolling there by going around the colony area.The man paused upon finding the territory’s expansion. Some people are building a protective wall outside the colony, but still connected to the main wall. Furthermore, he observed a much greater number of people compared to his previous visit.“I hope this peace will last for a long time.” Shawn, who accompanied Cody, took a deep breath. “I don’t want to encounter those strange zombie attacks or people suddenly becoming zombies again. Enough is enough. I’m tired and afraid.”“Yeah, even before the zombie outbreak, we have always wanted peace. It’s actually the same as those who live during war. It’s just that this time the entire world is experiencing it.” After saying that, Cody continued his steps.They both entered an emergency hospital for the colony. Shawn guided Cody
They continued walking until they finally arrived at an outdoor volleyball court in the colony. Several of Akira’s personal guards were some distance from them, watching. This made Cody feel Akira was no longer an ordinary person. “I want you to be here for a few more days, Cody.” Akira spoke while his back was to him. “This is to ensure that woman doesn’t create new zombies. If she still does it or does more, I ask for your help.” Cody shrugged. “No problem. But I feel you brought me here to talk about more than that, right?” “Did you know that there are strange zombies that differ from usual? They once attacked us. Have they attacked you, too?” Cody knew Akira was referring to Jane’s zombies. “I know that, and I even have a cooperative relationship with them. Don’t worry, I’ve asked them not to attack you.” Cody was telling the truth. Akira turned around and raised an eyebrow. “What? What did you say?” “Trust me Akira. We can never b
Cody experienced burnout, but he needed to address this problem right away. It’s uncertain that this new zombie tree will be like Jane, which won’t kill Cody and his friends.It could be more aggressive and could cause major havoc.Cody drives his car with one of Jane’s zombies as a guide. Several other Jane’s zombies also ran behind the car.They were ready to fight.“Stop here.” The zombie gave an order.Cody stops the car, discovering a series of organic roots entangling the buildings. However, this time, he didn’t see an enormous tree like Jane’s.“They have spread much further than last we checked.” The zombie hissed.“You said you guys would die if you got too close to that part of the tree, huh?” Cody found several rotting corpses of Jane’s zombies in the root area. “That’s why Jane asked for my help?”“As usual, mother will provide ade
Valerie’s zombie moves again, and its mother raises her head. The woman laughed and the wounds on her body released the bullets lodged in her body.“You think you can beat me that easily!?” Valerie keeps laughing. “I’ve defeated other system users many times! No one has ever come close to defeating me!”Cody tried to stay calm and assess the situation. One fact remains. Valerie was still only controlling one zombie.The tentacled zombie still entangled and attacked Cody’s zombie many times. Then, Cody used his liquify skill again, making the zombie melt.“What are you doing!?” Valerie gasped, and Cody didn’t know if she meant it.He just needs to focus on getting all of this done. He controlled the zombies, which were still in liquid form in various directions to confuse the tentacled zombies.Then, as they solidify, tentacled zombies attack them. However, there were only two of them.Anot
Once he arrived at the farm, Cody found traces of the fight as burned parts of the ground. No charred zombie corpses could be found in that location, though. Maybe Helena and Gwen, or Jane’s zombies, have cleaned it up.Fortunately, their small house was still intact without the slightest damage. But that doesn’t mean Cody could just relax. He jumped from the car and rushed in.“Oh, Cody.” Gwen smiled weakly at that man. “Welcome back.”“Are you okay?” Cody asked her, looking her body up and down. “I heard from one of Jane’s zombies. You guys got attacked by zombies that can breathe fire, right?”Gwen’s smile widened, but Cody could see hints of sadness on her face.“Well, I’m fine, but I can’t say the same for my sister.” Gwen was still smiling.“Where is she?” Cody asked and Gwen led him to a room.“Hi, Champ.” Helena greeted wh
