Zombie Lord

The mutated orange cat looked at Shaun with a look of disdain.

Turning its head to the body of the mutated wild boar, it began to devour the flesh and blood.

Four and Mountain, on the other hand, paid no attention to their leader.

Shaun was left alone.

"Damn, no respect at all?!" he muttered and hurriedly squeezed over to start eating the flesh of the mutated wild boar.

"Ding! Successful collection, obtained the mutated wild boar's long fang!"

"Ding! Successful extraction of abilities, obtained the talent: Gigantism!"

Shaun hadn't held much hope, but the ability extraction actually succeeded. Looking at the small red bead in his hand, he contemplated for a moment and swallowed it.

His weapon was a frying pan, so increased strength was a significant boost for him.

"Gigantism: Doubles the host's strength!"

The description of Gigantism was simple, but it was an extremely valuable talent.

"Ding! The host is consuming the flesh of a fifth-rank mutated beast, evolution points +160!"

...

"Ding! The zombies under your control are consuming the flesh of a fifth-rank mutated beast, evolution points +40!"

...

The moment Shaun had been eagerly waiting for had finally arrived.

"Ding! The host's evolution points have reached 32,000/32,000, meeting the advancement conditions!"

"Advancing now..."

An immense aura emanated from Shaun.

The orange cat looked at him with envy but remained vigilant, scanning the surroundings to ensure Shaun's safety during the advancement.

This advancement took a considerable amount of time. Shaun had his eyes tightly shut, seemingly entering a profound and mysterious state.

After the strengthening during the Blood Day, the roaming zombies on the streets had all reached the fifth rank. However, they still lacked intelligence, not even possessing basic survival instincts.

Yet these machine-like zombies had all come to a halt.

They gazed toward Shaun from a kilometer away.

A continuous stream of zombies gathered, forming a large circle, numbering in the thousands.

None of them approached within a kilometer, and the mutated orange cat couldn't be bothered with these lower-level creatures.

The faces of all the zombies no longer displayed ferocity or bloodlust. The red light of the Blood Day shone on their faces, creating an atmosphere of tranquility.

These beast-like zombies were now behaving as if they were on a pilgrimage!

Time passed slowly.

Fortunately, in this post-apocalyptic world, there was no distinction between day and night. The Blood Day continued to hang high in the sky, and this scene showed no signs of changing. More and more zombies were being drawn to the location.

Tens of thousands of zombies gathered, including some elite ones.

It was a gathering of zombies like no other!

"Ding! Host's advancement completed!"

"Current rank: First-rank Zombie Lord!"

"Ding! Host's strength, speed, and all-round abilities have greatly increased..."

"Ding! Talents and skills are starting to upgrade comprehensively!"

"Destructive Nerves upgrade completed, advanced to an active talent! Host can choose whether to activate it!"

"Infection by the Virus upgrade completed, host's zombie virus level increased again! Gaining the following abilities:"

"Ability one: Infinite Infection, your virus spreads, and you will receive the full amount of evolution points!"

"Ability two: Can infect low-level mutated beasts!"

"Bloody Evolution upgrade completed, infecting low-level mutated beasts will yield evolution points!"

"Gigantism talent upgrade completed, triples (doubles) the host's strength!"

"Control talent upgrade completed, the number of entities that can be controlled increases to four (two)!"

"Skin Hardening upgrade completed, will be able to resist or even be immune to stronger attacks!"

"Ding! Skin Hardening is maxed, additional effect: no longer slows down!"

"Heavy Strike Kill upgrade completed, after activation, strength increases by 500% (400%), and the probability of landing a heavy blow increases!"

"Ding! Heavy Strike Kill is maxed, additional effect: doubles the duration!"

"Boiling Battle Intent upgrade completed, after activation, an all-around 100% (75%) increase in combat power!"

"Attack Speed Aura upgrade completed, the increased attack speed is now 30% (20%)!"

Note: Values in parentheses are for the unupgraded state!

"Protagonist Aura cannot be upgraded!"

"Passerby Aura cannot be upgraded!"

"Insightful Eyes cannot be upgraded!"

"Ding! Host gains the exclusive skill of the Zombie Lord: Command!"

"Ding! Host gains the exclusive skill of higher-level creatures: Intimidate!"

"Command (upgradable): can choose one hundred zombies with a rank lower than yours to become followers!"

"Intimidate: a skill unique to higher-level creatures, possesses an intimidating effect on lower-level creatures!"

"Ding! Congratulations, the host has obtained the rare skill: Ultimate Disguise!"

"Ultimate Disguise (not upgradable): you can transform into human mode! However, your strength will be suppressed by 90%!"

Shaun slowly opened his eyes, and the continuous electronic sounds left him bewildered. In the moment he completed his advancement, his body emitted a mysterious aura.

After absorbing this aura, all the zombies began to undergo a gradual transformation. They roared, directly advancing from fifth-rank zombies to elite zombies, but this was the minority. The vast majority of zombies only gained a certain amount of evolution points.

Shaun felt better than ever, a powerful sensation coursing through him!
