Three days after that speech, Cody’s farm had not yet received an attack from King’s side. Despite that, they remain on standby. Apart from carrying out daily activities, they continue to carry out defense training.

As the training finished, evening approached, and they pursued other activities.

Some of Jane’s zombies practice guitar with Gwen. There are also those who learn to paint with one of the awakened zombies.

The awakened zombies also do lots of activities, from playing cards, just chatting, watching movies in one hut, and so on.

Cody felt overjoyed that his home feels lively, and he hopes it will have a lasting effect.

About to join to watch the movie, Cody’s attention was caught in the distance. Stella and Kevin sat on a borrowed a chair from a park, watching the sunset. Cody wonders they’re talking about. They were quite far from him.

“Do you know what happened to them?” Helena lined up with Cody.

Cody smiled as both individuals laughed.

    Cody felt that the morning air differed from usual. The awakened zombies are on alert around his house. Meanwhile, numerous Jane’s children were standing by around the farm.This is the third day since the announcement regarding the King’s minions and Akira’s community members going to Cody’s farm. As expected, they will come today.“They’ll be here in about thirty minutes.” One of Jane’s children gives her routine report. “But we can’t provide any more updates. They have killed the last scout.”“I see, thanks.” After Cody said that, the special zombie rejoined her comrades.Leaning against the sand wall, Cody took a deep breath. He hoped those zombies didn’t have troublesome powers like self-detonation and the like.When he was about to turn around to check his scope, Cody found Gwen was looking out the window next to a sniper. Cody just gave her a smile and motioned for her

    “F*ck!” Cody protected his face from the dirt flying in the air. “Stay focused on the attack!”Cody wanted to lament, but the fight continued. Any carelessness would lead to doom.The minutes passed like hours for Cody. Gradually, he and his troops made the King’s troops retreat.And finally, they ran into the forest, and the Jane’s children chased them.However, Cody didn’t feel any satisfaction. He didn’t even feel relieved. He came out of hiding with his body shaking, approaching the explosion mark on the ground.He couldn’t recognize which part of Kevin’s body was anymore. One object that stands out is a metal skull and several metal plates.No wonder the zombie bomber could survive the barrage of bullets.One of the awakened zombies approached Cody. “In the meantime, we found out that the rest of our members are still alive, Cody.”Cody closed his eyes, trying to cont

    Two days after the raid.“So, I really am your second in command and have to watch this place, huh?” Helena sighed as Cody prepared himself to leave in the truck. “It seems I have no choice.”Cody smiled as he threw his bag into the truck. “I’m sure you can, Helena. I heard from Gwen, you have always been the head of the organization you join, even since elementary school.”Helena shrugged. “This is something different, though. I’m not leading the boys, and these are actual war conditions.”“I know.” Cody approached the mechanic, who had just completed the final check.“I have checked this baby thoroughly.” He explained. “I fully charged the batteries. So, you can ride it for a few days.”Cody patted him on the shoulder and smiled. “You are the best, Trent. Without you, we wouldn’t be able to make this truck work optimally, and our solar panels wo

    Danny observed the long binoculars Cody had set up. “Is this a device for observing long distances?”“Yeah.” Cody wiped the thing’s lenses. “I’ll let you try it later.”Cody then used the tool and pointed it at Akira’s community. He could see the King’s army, which was much larger than the one that attacked Cody’s farm.However, when we turned the binoculars towards Jane’s children, their numbers were no less massive.“I heard that one of us was also in the attacking force.” Danny gulped.“Yeah, her name is Stella. She’s been with us for quite a while,” Cody explained.Stella even left the day before Cody left. She didn’t say goodbye to him, Stella, or Helena. Cody didn’t mind that. He considered Stella an honored guest who was free to do as she wished. But Cody was a little disappointed because her actions made Helena and Gwen worried.

    That night, Cody sat alone in his truck, imagining how many casualties were in that fight. In the end, Jane’s children choose to retreat, but the damage has been done.King’s army has destroyed numerous parts of the community.Danny entered the truck and put the cup noodles on the dashboard. Thin smoke comes out of its lid. “I read the instructions on the packaging. Hopefully, what I did was right.”Cody glanced at the food. “Thanks, but I’m not hungry, Danny.”Cody looked forward again. At times like this, he didn’t even think about filling his stomach.He knew he couldn’t prevent the fight from happening. Yes, he was innocent, but that helplessness felt like it would kill him.Why doesn’t he get stronger?“Is there anything I can do?” Danny asked. “It’s hard for me to explain this... But I feel something like negativity from you... It looks like you are in danger.

    Once Cody arrived at the farm, he put Emily and Shawn in the basement prison. Since he had built that place to separate prisoners of different genders, Cody could separate his two friends.He came to Emily the next day with Gwen. The blonde woman brought spaghetti to her friend.“I’m sorry, Emily.” Cody took a deep breath. “No matter what, you’re part of the King’s side. They attacked this place once. I can’t let you wander around here. That would be a problem.”“It’s okay.” Emily then looked at Gwen, and she saw tears already filling her eyes. “You don’t have to cry, Gwen. When the world is at war, this happens. I just realized it.”Gwen wiped her tears, then handed the food through the small door of the cell. Emily accepted it and ate it.“Damn, you guys can make spaghetti this delicious with limited ingredients? I’m impressed.” Emily nods in agreement.Cody, now sitting in front of the cell, then spoke. “I know. Maybe you still want to mourn what happened. However, we need to move

    “I told you we could use them to our advantage.” Cody continued. “At least, Akira should think twice about attacking us again because they…”“And I told you, we don’t believe it!” Max snapped again, this time even pointing at Cody’s face.Max’s four friends were also getting fiercer in scolding Cody. Helena tried to defend Cody, but they didn’t listen to her.Cody closed his eyes, remembering the incident with Akira and Igor. Maybe the circumstances this time were different, and Igor didn’t speak as loudly as they did.But the essence was the same: they were putting up a fight that could destroy the community they had just built.Suddenly, Cody’s zombie dashed over and hit Max hard, sending him flying until he hit the wall. His four friends immediately fell silent.“No, Cody.” Helena warned the man. “Don’t do that, or you’ll become the very thing you’ll hate.”With a face that showed no change in expression, Cody opened his system menu as Max tried to get up.“Argh!!!” Max fell to the

    After the incident with Max and some of his friends leaving, life on that farm went on as usual. The residents did their activities from gardening, teaching Jane’s children, to training.However, Cody could feel a distinct atmosphere. Except for Gwen and Helena, they all only talked to him when necessary. Even Stella was like that.Cody didn’t mind that, and he focused on waking up the other zombies to become new members. He also leveled up occasionally.He felt that maybe that was the price he had to pay as a leader.“Don’t you think this will destroy the harmony of this place?” Helena, who was writing something in a book in the dining room, sighed. “The old members have influenced the new members to stay away from you.”Cody, who was sitting in front of Helena, was silent. She has a point.“To be honest, I don’t know what to do. It seems like the wound from that incident is still there, even though a month has passed.” The young man took a deep breath.Helena folded her arms across

    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….

    184 – Memories

    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
