At the top of the tower's platform, Joem equipped the M134 Minigun w/ its tripod and battery. Looking at his chaotic surroundings, he takes a deep breath and calms himself down.

"Mah, Pah, Tin and everyone... Please give me strength and courage to fight until the end of this apocalypse! In God's name. Amen!" he said.


"Ding!" A new notification from system appeared just before he could press the trigger.

"What's the new skill? Any clues? How could I decide knowing nothing about it?" Joem asked.


"Nope! Please make your choice quickly and our time is limited, Host" system replied.


"All right! I choose the M134 Minigun, so what's this new skill and is it a good thing?" Joem asked.

2 pm. in the afternoon both sides of school is full of undead, the road and surrounding area is reduce into ruins. The swarms of zombies were still ongoing.

Locking far to the swarms of zombies, the power is on and w/ the iron sight to aim better at this large target.


"Brrraaaaaapp!!!" tracer in every fifth round in the belt helped him adjust and lit up the gloomy weather. In just few seconds a lot of undead are dismembered and pilling up like a wall in the street.


"Booom!" vehicles exploded and helps him increased the damage he caused.


"Ding!" A new notification from system.


"+700 gold coins for killing 35 zombies!" system said. It was worth 15-20 gold coins and 5 exp each of this regular zombie or skeleton.


"Brrraaaaaapp!!!" as he continued shooting this endless tide of zombies, Joem finally succeed in his first mission and another new notification appeared.


"Ding!" A festive ring tone came from the system.

Joem's felt better after the level-up, he's much lighter and a little faster than before.

"Keep the attacks going! Good job, Tower!" CEA's dean is talking about Joem's relentless assault on farther swarm of zombies. Almost everyone is still adapting, while fighting the zombies and he felt envious as gun enthusiast.

"Ding!" A new mission notification from the system.


"Second mission is to kill a thousand zombies and .The rewards are 1 000 gold coins, 1 upgrade core and 1 health potion! A chance to level up! Do you accept the new mission?" System said.

"Brrraaaaaapp!!!" he continued shooting this endless tide of zombies, few explosions after and frequent notification about the kills.

Ding!"

"+1 500 gold coins for killing another 100 zombies!" system said. Annoyed by the notification, Joem turned off the sound and focused on the task.

"Get down!! 2xs" Engr. Gab and CEA's dean shouted, a giant fireball ball was going towards the Coop building and he timely saw it getting bigger from afar.

They stopped their attacks, went behind the reinforced wall and some retreated to back of the building.


"Ka-Booomph!!!" a large whole and crater was created by huge fireball. A lot of students from the CIT were blown away and sustained severe injuries since it was too late to hide or find a cover for them.

500 years have past since the country was colonized by several bigger and stronger countries. At present, fewer people believe in gods and goddesses. Then hell was brought into earth, undead, normal animals into beast and lifeforms from space.

Shi Huazhe wasn't stupid and knew that Chen Mo had many weird and wonderful ideas up his sleeves. It was entirely possible that Chen Mo could make something that would attract the attention of many people, driving up the sales quickly. Therefore, in order to try and keep what remained of his dignity, Shi Huazhe didn't dare lowball his estimate.
But, what if he really made it to a hundred thousand?
There wasn't an inch of Shi Huazhe that wanted to believe that. In his view, the success of Flappybird was completely accidental, as all of Chen Mo's skills were utterly terrible. Surely he was not able to get lucky like that again and again in the future?
------
12 PM...
Plants vs Zombies was released into the market on time. The players that had been waiting for it were all racing to download the game.
PC players were few and far between in this world, making it an unexplored territory. Therefore, Chen Mo chose to focus on the mobile players.
Despite having the game on the PC market as well, Chen Mo didn't expect it to get close to the top there.
Chen Mo set the price at 10 RMB.
The app store had set the pricing on games, ranging from free, one RMB, ten RMB, twenty RMB, fifty RMB, or above fifty RMB.
As the official app store in this world mainly catered to users inside China, there wasn't a problem with currency exchange, so there was no need for 6 RMB or other odd numbers like that.
Chen Mo could've made it free or just one RMB, which would make it much easier to increase the number of downloads, but he felt that he was losing out on too much by doing that.
Plants vs Zombies wasn't suited for in-game ads, and Chen Mo didn't want it to affect the experience of the players, either.
If he sold it at one RMB, two hundred thousand copies would only result in a hundred thousand RMB net, which wasn't even enough for him to make ten draws!
Therefore, ten RMB was quite an approachable price. Of course, this didn't mean Chen Mo was running a charity, he was just going for low price at high volume.
Plants vs Zombies was expected to be popular among all ages. Primary or high school students with not much money, or even the older generation, were part of Chen Mo's target market. Making it cheap enough to fork out money without much hesitation was part of Chen Mo's plan.
------
Jia Peng and his friends inside the experience store had already downloaded it, and gave it a five star rating.
"Manager, we've downloaded the game and gave it a five star review!" said Jia Peng.
Chen Mo said, "Thanks! I'll give you all a free cup of milk tea for your trouble."
"Thanks, manager!" Jia Peng and his friends were very happy.
Jia Peng said, "Senior Wen and the others will come over during the afternoon, as they have class during the morning."
Another guy said, "That's great, we can watch the game completely destroy the new games list together."
Jia Peng said, "Of course! It will surely dominate the leaderboards, it's so fun! We'll be the witnesses here!"
------
Many others also had their eye on the sales of Plants vs Zombies.
On the official app store, the statistics for games were updated hourly, the games leaderboards were updated every three hours, and recommended spaces were updated every twenty-four hours.
Many gamers were downloading the game.
Some of them were brought over from the ads on Flappybird, others came from Chen Mo's Weibo, and some of them just liked the idea behind the game.
However, many players were still observing from the sidelines, waiting for the hour to pass and check the reviews before deciding if they should buy it.
------
At 1 PM, the statistics for Plants vs Zombies were finally updated!
Jia Peng rubbed his eyes. "Wow, did they misplace the decimal point and made it seem ten times more than it should be? That number's unreal!"
Plants vs Zombies had received 887 downloads, with a score of 9.7/10 after an hour.
Despite not being too familiar with the video game industry, the students knew the significance of those numbers.
Adventures of the Storm Rider was considered doing quite well with four hundred downloads in twenty-four hours, but Plants vs Zombies managed eight hundred and eight-seven in an hour!
Just looking at the twenty-four hour downloads, this wasn't just a popular game, but an extremely popular game, and made in only a few months at that!
Chen Mo was quite calm. Although these numbers were better than he had thought, it was still within the realms of his consideration.
Flappybird would be continually driving players to Plants vs Zombies, and the video game media had basically promoted Chen Mo's game for free, with more than a thousand reposts on Chen Mo's post. As a result, the people that had seen the game might be in the hundred thousands, all of which were potential players.
Plants vs Zombies wasn't on any leaderboards or promotional places, only because they hadn't been updated yet. With numbers like that, Plants vs Zombies would without a doubt kill the new games leaderboard.
------
As the topic gained traction, the downloads of Plants vs Zombies kept increasing.
1,333 downloads at 2 PM.
1,914 downloads at 3 PM.
It seemed like the downloads were increasing by five hundred every hour, with no sign of slowing down.
At a speed like that, including the late night slow down and the increased traffic from eight to ten PM, Plants vs Zombies might break ten thousand in twenty-four hours!
Ten thousand copies on the first day?
That was crazy!
Moreover, the ratings were ranging between 9.1 to 9.4, and never dipping below 9. This meant that the players rated the game very highly, and would more than likely maintain this in the future.
Jia Peng was shocked, and exclaimed, "Look at the new games leaderboard!"
First place on the new mobile games leaderboard was now Plants vs Zombies!
"Yeesh, isn't that too fast? Being on the leaderboard just after one cycle, that's insanely good!" Jia Peng couldn't believe it either.
The new games leaderboard wasn't impossible to climb. Companies like Emperor Dynasty Entertainment or Zen Entertainment could easily reach the top of the leaderboard right after release by advertising and hyping up the game.
However, Chen Mo hadn't spent a single cent on advertising Plants vs Zombies! Reaching the top of the new games leaderboards one hour after release, that was the stuff of fairy tales!
On the new games leaderboard, Adventures of the Storm Rider was in third place, while Plants vs Zombies was at the top in first place.
After receiving a recommended space, Adventures of the Storm Rider had been gaining momentum. But it stood no chance against Plants vs Zombies.
If Adventures of the Storm Rider had a standing start, Plants vs Zombies had a shooting start. How can you compare when the number of players are of different magnitudes?
The video games media was also shocked. They also thought that Plants vs Zombies had a high chance of going viral, and becoming the biggest dark horse of the month!
Although the statistics at the twenty-four hour mark were more significant for extrapolation, the three hour numbers for Plants vs Zombies were extremely good, even beating some works from large companies!
The explosiveness of Plants vs Zombies caused some minor panic within the video game media, but this was all within Chen Mo's calculations.
Climbing to the top of the new games leaderboard? That wasn't even a small goal for Chen Mo...


Chen Mo liked calling himself a video game designer, despite being a mere video game producer.
After dying one day from work-related stress, he transmigrated into a parallel world as himself, right after he graduated. He was now in the body of his younger self, who also aspired to be a video game designer. 
Will he be able to fulfill his dream after being reborn in this oddly different new world, and become the best video game designer in that world?
Follow Chen Mo on his romp through video game classics as he brings the great games of the past to a whole new world in pursuit of his dreams!

Lin Qiao waited until Xie Dong went ashore, then relaxed her grip on the energy sphere and went ashore as well. 
By the time she came out, Xie Dong had put his clothes on. He stayed a couple meters away from the lake and waited for Lin Qiao. Soon, Lin Qiao came out of the water while being wrapped in dark mist. As she put her clothes on, the dark mist drilled into her palm.
"How's it going? Can you speak now?" Lin Qiao adjusted her clothes, then walked up and asked Xie Dong, who had turned around to avoid looking at her naked body.
Xie Dong turned back and looked at Lin Qiao as he slightly opened his mouth. "Yes…" His throat moved slightly, and then a voice escaped his mouth. His voice was dry and hoarse, not like the voice of a healthy man. However, his pronunciation was clear enough. Speaking was no longer a question for him.
"Congratulations!" Lin Qiao smilingly nodded at him. 
"Thank you, Chief! Without you, I might have become an unconscious zombie. I'd either eat humans or be hunted," Xie Dong abruptly kneeled on one knee and dropped his head. His deep and dry voice expressed his sincere gratitude.
"What are you doing? Get up! Can't you just talk normally? Why did you get down on your knee?" Lin Qiao hurriedly made two steps sideways and then said to him with surprise. 
"You gave me my second life. From now on, please give me any work that I can do for you. I'll do anything for you! Please let me stay with you!" Xie Dong finished his last sentence, then slowly stood up while looking at Lin Qiao determinedly.
Lin Qiao looked at him, feeling a little speechless. "Haven't you been working for me the whole time? Alright, we don't need this kind of ritual. If you want to stay, just stay… if you want to leave, just let me know. It's great that you are able to talk now. I guess can try it on the others."
Next day, a group of zombies left the base under Lin Qiao's leadership to collect energy nuclei. This time, Yun Meng stayed in the base. Lin Qiao brought Xie Dong, Lu Tianyi, Shen Yujen and half of her zombie followers with her. As for the other half, she left them to help Liu Jun with the farming work.
They headed toward West Lake District, where a lot of mutated plants might be found in the lakeside park and the forest area. Lin Qiao and her zombies drove an armed off-road vehicle to West Lake District. She didn't forget the large crowd of zombies that she brought to that area. Currently, the border between West Lake District and Upper City District was filled with zombies. 
At first, she arrived where those zombies were gathered. Standing on top of a tall building, she whistled, then saw the crowd of zombies gather toward her. Before long, the roads and streets nearby were all filled with lower-leveled zombies.
Xie Dong and Qiu Lili stood by her sides, scanning those zombies with their eyes.
"Quite some of them have upgraded. Currently, about three-hundred of them are at level two and three. Only a small number of them are at level-four," Qiu Lili roughly counted the ones that flashed out of the slow-moving crowd or leaped onto high places.
Xie Dong was counting silently while making some notes on a notebook.
"Not bad! They have only been here for a short while. Those numbers are normal," said Lin Qiao blandly. She leaped toward a smaller building which had a roof that was wider than the other roofs and empty, leaving a few words for her soldiers.
"Get them up here and give them the drug." 
Qiu Lili, Xie Dong, Jingyan, Song, Chong, and a few other zombies instantly swooped at those lower leveled zombies. Before long, they had gathered all level two-to-three zombies and brought them to the roof where Lin Qiao stood.
About two-hundred lower-leveled zombies crowded on that roof.
"Stand still, don't move!" Xie Dong was the first who failed to stand that messy crowd. He pulled a long face and shouted at those zombies with a dry voice.
Those zombies didn't react quickly to his instructions. The level-three ones made a little reaction while the level-two ones were completely confused.
Qiu Lili and brought over about ten level-four zombies, then ordered them to stand aside.
"Stand here, in two lines," she said.
Those zombies failed to understand her. Since they became zombies, they had forgotten what 'lines' meant.
Xie Dong dragged and pushed the crowd of zombies to put them in a rough formation, then went to Qiu Lili's side and made those level-four zombies stand in two lines. 
"Memorize your positions. You will stand this way from now on," Qiu Lili said to those zombies.
Meanwhile, Lin Qiao took the drug out of her space, then handed it to Xie Dong, telling him and her other zombie soldiers to give it to those new zombies. 
She turned and glanced at the zombie crowd which was still expanding. A huge number of zombies had gathered in that area, such that there was no space left between the buildings already. All of the ground was taken up by zombies; some higher-leveled ones had climbed onto the buildings and even trees. 
Before, Lin Qiao left those zombies in that area without paying any attention to them, because she wanted them to upgrade themselves. That was, of course, a cruel process, but it was also how nature worked. 
She and her soldiers spent a whole night in transforming those new zombies. After that, she put them into her space. Next morning, she led her troops to the next target.
…
Once Lin Qiao left the base, Wu Chengyue in Sea City Base received a message about that.
While smiling, he said, "I guess she's going to gather some nuclei and expand her zombie army. West Lake District is crowded by zombies. Quite some high-leveled ones will certainly emerge from that area. The ones that manage to break into level three or four will become a new force under her command."
"With that zombie army, the thousands of people in her base will have nothing to worry about," Xiao Licheng stood before Wu Chengyue's desk and said.
"As long as she is there, those people don't need to worry about anything. They'll always be safe, as long as they don't bring trouble to themselves. The second batch of Hades Base survivors are on their way to the new base, aren't they? How many of them have died?" Wu Chengyue's smiling eyes gave out a warmth as he asked.
"They left the base half a month ago. For all sorts of reasons, about a hundred and fifty of them have died so far," Xiao Licheng looked at the notebook in his hands while answering the question.
By 'all sorts of reasons', he meant natural disasters and human factors. The weaker people would be either left in zombie crowds or used as flesh shields. 
"Apart from that, we also got some news from Earth Dragon Base. Some of Earth Dragon Base people tried to run out of their base and join All Beings Base," said Xiao Licheng.
The news about All Beings Base had spread across all bases long ago. People didn't know all the details, but had all heard about that base, and confirmed that it was real, not just some kind of tale.
"Earth Dragon Base? Emm… It's about the time. Hidden Cloud City Base has fallen, and no one is managing those survivors. Also, Hidden Cloud City Base had drained all the resources that belonged to Earth Dragon Base long ago. Earth Dragon Base people would die of illness, starvation, and coldness if they didn't try to find a way out," Wu Chengyue easily figured out the reason.
"How dare they go to the new base? Aren't they afraid that those Hades Base people might tear them into pieces?" Xiao Licheng said confusedly.
"I think they would rather lick Hades Base people's boots, because they don't want to die. Besides, the new base has its rules. They don't allow killing in the base. So, those Earth Dragon people would be protected to some extent if they joined the base. As for what might happen in the dark… that would be hard to say," said Wu Chengyue blandly. 


Lin Qiao remembers nothing from the past five years since the post-apocalyptic era began. She wakes up only to find herself having become a newborn, superpowered zombie, in a body that used to belong to an evil and notorious woman!

Having kidnapped a girl and raped her father, the previous host met her demise at the very hands of the conspiracies she courted all her life, leaving Lin Qiao no choice but to deal with the consequences while trying to figure out her own past and the fate of her loved ones. 

As for the little girl’s father, can’t he just have a decent fight? He’s a human being, but why is he biting a zombie? She’s the zombie! She’s the one who’s supposed to bite! 

The newborn zombies acted really strange. Like they looked for something. Group of humans passed one of those creature's paths and he didn't even look at them.
Emma scrunched her eyebrows. What is going on really? ''I know everyone is tired but you need to understand, those creatures look harmless at this very moment, but who knows what will happen next. I worry about their strange behavior. So no matter how tired you are, trace their path as much as you can.''
They lost sight of three of the zombies in the city area and four of them drifted to the forest area and never came out. Her senses hit the alert whole time. Somehow she could feel some vibrations inside her and felt as it was quite strange. But she had no time to check it out now.
''Zombie number five burned. Zombie number 23 got hit by one falling stone from the building. Zombie 14 was attacked by other zombies... Boss, they are getting attacked by other zombies!!!''
Emma's heart jumped. She could see a group of zombies ferociously attacking one of the roaming zombies and eating him until the last bit. Even bones were crunched like delicacy and eating until the last bit.
''What the hell? Now I feel protective towards those. What is wrong with me? What is going on with the cars?'' She wants to be sure about the safety of those people first, then she can think about this situation.
''They have another ten miles and will be by meeting point. Boss, I feel its kind of strange. The zombies from cities are moving towards those newzorns.'' He wanted to make a joke but he chocked when he saw a huge amount of zombies appearing out cities and rushing towards the place where the new zombies appeared.
''I am afraid that if they eat those new zombies, their DNA will change and we will have new kinds of zombies. More dangerous. What to do?'' As she looked at that place she got called by one of the operators responsible for the helicopters.
''Boss, they are ready to take off. But it seems there are not enough. Some people might have to continue driving.'' They did indeed find many more but not enough for everyone.
She was anxious. ''Connect to the bus.''
''Yes?'' His voice was calm as it seems. Behind him could be heard quite a lot of voices.
''You are about to arrive but some people might not be able to get on. Please settle first children.'' She knew he wouldn't join them in his stubbornness.
His deep chuckle could be heard as he answered. ''I understand. I already spoke to Hose when we stopped. He will give me his car and a few other people will join in with their cars until you do not find another solution.''
All she could do is to just agree. It was anyway no other option. ''But don't let Hose join you guys. He has a family to take care of. If he dares to join you guys I will make him wash all the toilets in the whole shelter. I promise He will have to do so.''
''Of course, you will. I will not let him join the wild ride. As soon as we pack as many people as we can in helicopters, we will continue our travel. Please find ous safest routes.'' He would like to go and see her again soon. But being selfish and leaving children only to save his own behind is not in his nature.
''We will. Just hurry. Tell others that zombies behave again strange. The new zombies are attacked by other ones and were eaten until the last bits. We have no idea what is going on, I fear that new zombies will evolve soon. So you need to rush fast. Many zombies from nearby towns started moving to the place where new zombies are and it seems they will create another zombie tide. But I fear this tide will be harder to get rid of than the last one.'' She had strange premonition and fear when she saw those creatures getting swallowed. So far her feeling always became true, but she really hoped this time she would be wrong and they could just expect them to stop. Right?
Her eyes literally started burning but she had no time now to think about either ain or sleepiness. ''Could someone bring me more eye drops.'' 
She absentmindedly just waved her hand. A small hand pulled her back. ''Mom, sit down I will help you apply it.''
Emma looked down at Aisa that had woken up and her eyes were shiny from resting. Somehow she was grateful for the reincarnation. She would want it that she could reincarnate in the world where the worst thing could be is war. But this...
She obediently sat down and lifted up her head so she could drop it into her eyes. After the first drops already she felt the pain lessened and she raised that she probably didn't blink in anxiousness.
''Mom, you need sleep.'' Aisa stared at the gray face of her mother and felt anxious. The deep blue panda eyes around her eyes and the vane face made her look like someone who is about to die.
Emma shook her head. ''They are almost here. I will sleep after they are all safe here. Do you even think I am able to sleep now? To anxious. Can't.'' 
Her answers were accompanied by her pacing while everyone shook their heads. Boss is worrying too much. But in same time they knew she would do that for any of them. the people stared at the big projection screen her nervous expression and got worried.
For now, they are all happy and content. But only as they knew she was doing her best to protect them. But seeing her look weak they found it scary. What will happen if something goes wrong and she is no more there to protect them?
Undercurrents started roaming in the city area but that was all unknown to Emma that watched with a slight smile. The helicopters would lift up as soon they had their seats filled. They didn't wait for each other. Soon even Garcia's family got a place in the big helicopter and while the last helicopter was about to leave, a group of five cars started driving rapidly towards her shelter. 
''Emma can you hear me?'' Mario's voice could be heard through the radio. 
''Of course...'' was her dry answer as she stared at the information on her computer. Ahead of them was a highway. But there was a problem with it. 
Bunch of zombies was heading his way and he needed to avoid them. The only way would be dry riverbank, the problem was... It was not dry anymore. there was water inside and he was not sure will they be able to avoid the water if they drove on the sides. 
She already told him about this situation and he immediately went down but the problem now was that some zombies started moving towards them and practically jumping off the tall bridge. Everything would be fine if they died, but they started coming out of the water and making the cars avoid them s much they could.
Luckily there were just a few that were interested in them. The rest of the crowd was following something as it seems. Are they going where she thinks they are?
''Check the newborn zombies. I feel something is really wrong.'' If the zombies are even rushing from her state, does that mean from other states the zombies will gather there on that spot as well? 
This time it won't be a tide, it will be a tsunami if they start moving together.
''Boss, new satellite pictures are strange.'' One of the men transferred the picture on the main screen and everyone stopped doing what they did when they saw the situation.

After dying in hands backstabbing friend that she thought of to be a sister she reopened her eyes and prepared for the final days before everything changes.
But to be able to protect her child she needs to clean some trash first. 
On the day of the apocalypse, she sat in her chair and a drunk glass of expensive vine. 
Want me to save you. Sure. The cow needs to be feed, the pigs need to be washed and manure needs to be spread on our fields.
Don't you want?
Go out and never come back.

"00:00"

As the countdown reached zero, a wind began to blow through the place, the clouds began to move, a new message appeared in the sky, and some bodies that did not move for who knows how long, began to move slowly.

"2 \ 5"

"Second Wave"

"0 \ 10"


The number of opponents that Liu Yang had to face this time doubled over the previous wave. Besides the five identical zombies that Liu Yang had defeated before, there were five more that had some different characteristics like swords, axes, a helmet that protected the head, armor with several bloodstains and a smell of extremely horrible rot began to spread in the air.

Using the Phantom Vision on these new opponents.

Looking at the statistics of the five new zombies, Liu Yang was not surprised to see that they had the skills of the previous zombies.

In addition to having improved stats, there was also an extra skill, the mobility of these new zombies was better than the previous ones, their steps were not more unstable and slow, it seemed an ordinary person walking.


Because normal zombies were slow compared to warrior zombies, they were at some distance from each other, and every second the distance increased. Liu Yang charged toward the normal zombies who were distant from each other, Liu Yang needed real combat experience, but he was not stupid to fight the warrior zombies along with the normal zombies.

Whenever Liu Yang walked in one direction, all the zombies went in that direction. Coming in front of the first common zombie, Liu Yang used the Metal Enchantment.

From the journey on the Ash Mountain Chains to the Silent City, Liu Yang used only the skill Enchanting of Metal, due to this, this skill goes up two levels because the creatures that Liu Yang was facing were levels much higher than him.

Liu Yang needed to increase the mastery of the nine elements, but the current situation did not allow him to use other elements because there was probably a crowd of people watching this scene.


Metal Enchantment - Enchant an item with metal power. Weapon: + 50% Penetration the Physical Defense. Armor: + 50% Physical Defense.


Pushing the sword to the center of the zombie's head and moving his hands several times, Liu Yang destroys the head of the zombie, the body of the zombie falls on the floor with no sign of life. Liu Yang noticed something after defeating this zombie.

These zombies did not give experience and the items that were stuck in their bodies could not be withdrawn. As Liu Yang's fight with the first common zombie took no more than five seconds, because of this, warrior zombies were not far from normal zombies.

Liu Yang stood waiting for the warrior zombies to move away from the normal zombies. When the zombies got a reasonable distance, Liu Yang charged toward the farthest zombie and defeated its in less than five seconds. Liu Yang repeated this same process three more times.


Looking at the five warrior zombies who were walking toward him, Liu Yang breathes deeply and charged toward one of them that was further away from the others. The more Liu Yang came near the zombie, the more stinky he got, when Liu Yang came up two meters away from the ax-type warrior zombie, he was struggling internally not to vomit because of the bad smell.


Liu Yang gave up his strategy and moved quickly toward the ax-type warrior zombie, noticing the arrival of Liu Yang, the zombie raised the ax with both hands up, was the skill Violent Cut. Realizing that the zombie activated his skill, by the time Liu Yang arrived half a meter away, the zombie lowers his hands with the ax toward Liu Yang's head.

Liu Yang rolls to the side, causing the zombie to miss the blow, getting up quickly, Liu Yang took a few steps and reached behind the zombie, piercing through the helmet in the middle of the zombie's head and destroying the brain, the body fell to the ground without life. The zombie's reactions were slow, just as Liu Yang dodged the zombie attack and reached behind its, only a few seconds passed.

Without having much time to think, Liu Yang charged toward the other four zombies, he wanted to see if the rotten smell would stop after the zombies were killed. Liu Yang did the same suit against the other four zombies, killing them quickly.

By the time the last zombie was killed, the scent began to dissipate and a new message appeared in the sky. Without having time to read, Liu Yang could not take it anymore and began to vomit.

"Time To Next Wave: 5:00"

Liu Yang lay on the floor to catch his breath and eat something. Liu Yang wanted to ask Xillia Wolf to dispel that horrible smell, but he could not, and she could not even because the place allowed only challengers below level 100, but as Xillia Wolf was within a dimension within the body of Liu Yang, she managed to get in, but could not use her powers to help Liu Yang.

Liu Yang was a common employee, he had no perspective for his life. He only lived in a common and ordinary way, he had fun when he could.

However, everything changed during his journey to work. There was a police chase, and he was shot by mistake.

When he wakes up, he discovers that he is in the other world and that he could have a new chance at life in a different world from the previous one.

At that moment he begins to think about the best ways to live the new life as much as possible.

I'm a novice writer of Web Novel. As a novice writer, I make several mistakes of inconsistency in history. I apologize for this. My English is very bad so sorry for that too

While taking photos, Hades also killed some zombies.
But as he got closer to the dormitory and the cafeteria, he found more and more corpses around him.
Hades realized the seriousness of the matter. The corpses of these students were not there yesterday.
It meant that last night, a group of students tried to leave, but instead of avoiding the zombies, they were caught and eaten by the zombies.
Most of what Hades saw were only the remains of the corpses, and a small number of zombies were eating human corpses.
This made Hades feel extremely nauseous and uncomfortable.
This was because this wasn't a fake corpse that was separated by a screen or a prop like in movies and television, but a real person!
Yesterday, they were still alive, but now they had become the food of zombies, which made Hades feel extremely uncomfortable.
He had killed countless zombies, so he had no psychological problem killing zombies.
But when he saw the scene of zombies eating people with his own eyes, he still felt a little scared.
After all, those zombies used to be his own kind. Although they were already dead, they still looked very scary.
It was a wise choice for him not to let Hayley follow him. If she saw the scene of zombies eating people, she would probably be scared to tears by now.
However, Hades was a man after all. He quickly calmed down after seeing the scene. He carefully observed the zombies and didn't act rashly to alert the enemy.
He saw a strange phenomenon.
After the zombies ate another intact corpse, the increase in their body size became very obvious. Their eyes, which had been missing, slowly became conscious.
In short, they were becoming more and more like humans, and not a slow and sluggish zombie.
This made Hades curious. He felt that the zombies were obviously evolving.
And the way to evolve was to devour other organisms.
If he was careless, he might die.
This was Hades' direct warning to him.
Those zombies seemed to be eating the fresh flesh and blood as well. Hades didn't plan to let them go. All the zombies were his enemies.
Hades quietly circled behind those zombies. After passing through the area, his steps were very light. He wouldn't be discovered by those zombies,
he approached them step by step, looking for the most suitable opportunity.
The zombies hadn't realized the danger yet, and were still gnawing on the other corpses. When they all lowered their heads..
This was the opportunity!
Hades raised his blade and swung the Saber Tooth like a tiger descending the mountain!
This time, he gave a rare critical strike!
The Saber Tooth Blade let out a tiger's roar, and the zombies were stunned and couldn't even move.
Hades thought to himself, 'God help me, 'and killed the zombies with a few slashes.
The zombies also dropped a lot of attribute balls.
"Strength + 12."
"Agility + 6."
"Perception + 8."
"Red Packet + 1!"
It had to be said that this was a great harvest. The attributes of these strengthened zombies were much better than those of the ordinary zombies from yesterday.
However, Hades was not happy, because this meant that the zombies were getting stronger.
This was not good news for him or the entire human race.
If the zombies were getting stronger, then the humans would not have an attribute system like him. It would be difficult for ordinary people to survive.
Unless there was a higher level of technology, only the army could barely survive in the apocalypse.
No matter what, he had to find an army to protect him.
It was very difficult to defeat all the zombies by himself.
"Open the Red Packet!"
"Acquired Titanium Shield! Defense + 100! This is a sturdy shield that is not easy to break and corrode!"
Hades finally had a piece of defensive equipment. He cherished it because he was not sure if he would become a zombie after being injured.
That was why he had been so careful. If he got hurt by a zombie, all his efforts would be wasted.
No matter how strong his attributes were or how fierce his attacks were, he would die.
Now that he had a piece of armor, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. At least he could block some of the zombies' attacks, which gave Hades the ability to fight head-on.
Hades immediately equipped himself with a titanium shield, which was a short shield that he could hold with one hand.
After receiving the new equipment, Hades continued to advance toward his destination.
The further he advanced, the more bloody scenes there were.
There were more and more zombies. They seemed to have gathered near the school building and the cafeteria. The number of zombies there was several times more than yesterday.
The reason could be that the students there had tried to break out of the zombie encirclement last night and leave the campus.
Hades wasn't sure how many students had broken out, but there must have been a lot of students who had died.
Moreover, a large number of them hadn't left, because the zombies were still gathered there. There must be a lot of living people there.
But the zombies were all gathered together, which made Hades a bit embarrassed.
The situation now was different from yesterday. Yesterday, he had a van.
Yesterday, the truck had been driven away by the principal and the others.
Without the help of the truck, he couldn't defeat so many zombies by himself.
He had to find a way to either bypass the zombies and enter the cafeteria, or find a new weapon to deal with the zombies.
The only way for Hades to get a weapon was to defeat the zombies. But now, the zombies were all piled up together. If he attacked any one of the zombies, he might attract more zombies.
Those zombies could become stronger, and the risk of him doing so was extremely high.
So, Hades only wanted to continue observing if there was a new entrance to the cafeteria. He had to save Julia.


Pick up [All Attribute]shard *1, acquiring [The Evolver] [The Psychic]. Pick up [Pulse Pistol] shard *1, (1 l 1), the maximum amount of shard acquired. Pick up [The Dragonslayer] shard *1, (3 l 3), the maximum amount of shard acquired. Pick up [Smart Battle Car] shard *1 (10 l 10), the maximum amount of shard acquired... Traveling to the apocalypse, he could become stronger with the shards. In the apocalypse, where zombies and mutated beasts were rampant, people struggled to survive and hide. Hades, however, tracked every single zombie's location. Hades would eliminate any zombie he came across. Driving a mobile base and picking up shards, he lived an extremely comfortable life in the days of the apocalypse.


The slightly lit sky showed the world of the Dark Continent. The tense and heavy climate never changed and continued from day one.


The zombies continue their usual hikes looking for fresh flesh.


Slash!!!! Slash!!!! Slash!!!!


Looking towards the tall grass, we can see an ordinary-looking young man fighting a zombie vulture.


The young man was rolling from side to side while cutting the zombie vulture with the steel sword.


The zombie vulture was always attacking once with its claws or sharp beak before flying again. The young man could only roll to dodge the attack.


Whenever the young man found a chance, he cut with the sword.


Slash!!!! Slash!!!! Slash!!!!


This scene lasted for a few minutes until the vulture was killed by the young man. He was Liu Yang.


Four months have passed since the day he arrived in the Dark Continent.


For ten days two killing zombies to level the title. Liu Yang was almost crazy because he did nothing during the day and only stayed awake at night. He had reversed his schedule.


The moment the ten thousand zombies were killed. The title has been updated.


Title: Veteran Zombie Slayer - Title given to those who killed ten thousand zombies. To update the title to Master Zombie Slayer, you need to kill one hundred thousand zombies.


Effect 1: Zombies that are five meters away from you, they will be ten percent weaker.


Effect 2: Recovers all energy used to kill a zombie.


Effect 3: There is a possibility to receive one more item when defeating a zombie. 5% chance.


Effect 4: Reduces experience received by killing zombies by one hundred percent.


When Liu Yang read the description of the effects, he was very happy. But when he read about killing a hundred thousand zombies. He freaked out.


Ten days hidden in the bush was already quite tedious and boring. After updating the title, he needed to stay at least another hundred days. This was insane to him.


Despite complaining, Liu Yang accepted the challenge. He spent more than three months in hiding fighting zombies during the night. His sleep hour has become completely unregulated during those months.


After about ninety days of endless killing, Liu Yang finally managed to complete the last title update.
 
Title: Zombie Master Slayer - Title given to those who killed one hundred thousand zombies.


Effect 1: Zombies that are ten meters away from you, they will be twenty percent weaker.


Effect 2: Recovers all the energy expended when killing a zombie.


Effect 3: There is a possibility to receive one more item when defeating a zombie. 20% chance.


Effect 4: You will heal your wounds by defeating a zombie.


The effects of the last level of the title were more powerful than the previous one.


Liu Yang thought it was worth all the effort he made to get the title. He thought that in the other initial villages it would also be that way.


His thinking is right, each village had a type of title that players can achieve. But it is very rare for a player to kill a thousand creatures of the same type before leaving the village's starting area. Liu Yang is one of the few examples of this because he had the power of immunity to zombie poison.


…


After updating the title and resting for several days, Liu Yang fought the zombie vulture.


The zombie vulture is a rank 3 zombie, it is one of four in the starting area. It's like a boss of the territory. Each area had a rank 3 zombie that gives good rewards.


The rank 3 zombies were about five times stronger than a rank 2 zombie. The rank 2 zombie is ten times stronger than the rank 1 zombie. It was already possible to see how strong the three zombies are.




Liu Yang only managed to defeat the rank 3 zombie because he could make them weaker and resist the zombie poison. These two factors made him win.


"Let's see what you dropped"


The vulture's body disappeared a few seconds later, what remained was a shiny ring, a claw-shaped necklace, and a piece of paper.


"A ring, necklace, and a piece of paper?" Liu Yang looked curiously.


Upon touching the ring, its effects were felt. Liu Yang's body grew stronger and his mind softer.


Name: Liu Yang


Level: 9


Strength: 4 + 3


Agility: 3


Vitality: 9 + 3


Intelligence: 3 + 2


Skill


Immunity to All Poison (Passive) (Level 3) - The user is immune to all types of poison, including zombie poison.


"Two points in vitality and intelligence !!!" Liu Yang shouted. The ring was very good. The four points of statistics is a lot.


"What does this necklace do?" Touching the necklace, Liu Yang felt something different.


"The necklace gave the owner the passive ability: Infect"


Infect - When wounding a target, the ability has a 1% chance to poison the injured target with the zombie poison.


"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Liu Yang was startled by this ability. This is a very terrible thing. This skill is a very terrible thing.


(Someone with this type of skill can be hunted or killed. This skill is something that no one should have) Liu Yang thought. Despite this, he wore the necklace.












"What is that piece of paper?" Liu Yang saw that the paper had several strange letters written on it. He imagined it would be the language of the Dark Continent.


"Congratulations on finding the village's construction paper. Whoever gets one of these papers can build a village in one of the three remaining regions of the initial area. Tear the paper so you can choose a location to create a new start village"


"Jackpot !!!!!!!!!!!" Liu Yang jumped for joy. He understood what that meant.


The paper was immediately torn.




Liu Yang was not doing this to compete with James Hunt's start village, he just didn't think it was fair for people to be forced into a cage. They also had the right to level and become stronger. Liu Yang will give this opportunity to newcomers who choose their village as a starting point.


(If I got such an item. Does that mean that the first people to reach the Dark Continent defeated a rank 3 zombie and built the first village in the south? If that's true, in the initial region there should still be two more zombies from rank 3, if no one else has defeated the zombie.)


Liu Yang's thinking is correct. Each of the four ranks 3 zombies in the starting area will drop a piece of paper that will allow the construction of a village in the starting area.


As nobody liked to fight zombies, because they were the most feared opponents. Just a scratch and the person is already doomed.


The other villages had more people because although it was dangerous, the locations were easier to level. One can live without an arm, but no one can live by being turned into a zombie. This is the difference between Village E and the other villages.


So when someone chose one of the other villages as their starting location, that person had other options to choose from. Unlike Village E, which only had one option.


The instant Liu Yang tore the parchment and chose the north side.


A message was heard for all the inhabitants of Village E.


"Congratulations to everyone in Village E. One inhabitant found a scroll from the village. A new one will be built in the northern region. Enjoy the new village "


Liu Yang chose the northern region because it is the place where he and Misalova Lida had the first time. Besides, there were already many fruits to eat there.


Many people in the southern village were celebrating, but none of them dared speak or celebrate it out loud. For there were those who were not enjoying this situation.


One such example is James Hunt. As a new village has emerged, it will have great competition. For his village can be emptied and no one else wants to live there because of his tyranny.


"Go to your village and adjust to your wishes"


Liu Yang received a message from the system. It looked like he was in a kind of city-building game.


"In the village, there should already be a large number of people waiting to see who owns the new village. None of them imagines that that person could be me. " Liu Yang just laughed about it.


"I need to disguise myself to avoid being seen." Liu Yang went back to his hiding place in the tall grass to get some things to disguise himself.


"The others may not recognize me, but James Hunt will remember me. I am the only skinny young man who escaped that day. " That thought crossed his mind.


Liu Yang put the sword on his back and started walking north. He went in the other direction instead of the conventional way across the plains.


Just as he escaped a few months ago from the back of the forest, Liu Yang would do the same again.


A crowd was in front of the village waiting, while no one entered yet. For they were waiting for the owner to appear.


"Who do you think owns this village?"


"This is difficult to say. Few people have fled the original village, but we don't know which ones are still alive. "


"Does anyone have a hunch?"


…


Many curious conversations were taking place in a large group of people. Everyone was curious to know who owned the new village in the region.


Many of them had been in the place for a long time, but they only lived in the initial village.


James Hunt and his subordinates were at the front, each of them with solemn and angry looks. Competition appeared for them.


Suddenly, a strong light shone and covered all the broken houses. Seconds later, the light disappeared and a completely new village appeared.


The broken houses were rebuilt and cleaned. The whole place looked completely new.


A board appeared at the entrance: Welcome

After graduating from university, Liu Yang and his group of friends went to drink at a bar. The group drank until they couldn't take it anymore.

Liu Yang was so drunk that he didn't know how to get home, so he intended to rent a hotel room.

The next day, Liu Yang woke up inside a hotel room, beside him was a beautiful naked young woman. They were both naked.

After enjoying the remaining time with the young woman, Liu Yang passed out again. He only woke up several days later, this time, he was in a boat being taken somewhere strange.

The place he was being taken to was called the Dark Continent.

When a large group of zombies was about to rush into Moramatch, the mage group finally started their first strike. There were waves of intense magic surges. Even the dwarves and gnomes in the underground city felt the magic surges. They stopped what they were doing and stared at the cave roof in wonder.
A master swordsman might be a match for an archmage, but a hundred master swordsmen would not win over a hundred archmages, without any doubt. If mages released large-scale destructive magic, it would be as if each archmage was under hundreds of magic attacks. Even the legendary grandmaster swordsmen would not necessarily win.
Firewalls suddenly appeared and formed a sea of fire. It did not only cut a large group of zombies in half, it also fatally burned about a hundred zombies. Regular zombies did not have intelligence. After they received the order to rush forward, they would rush forward without caring about what would be in front of them. Unfortunately, they could no rush through a fire as wide as a hundred yards. Countless zombies first turned themselves into fire balls and then turned into ashes, blowing away into the sky.
One group of zombies was burned dead, but another group rushed in. The sea of fire was like hell for zombies. The firewalls took zombies’ lives not singly but in groups.
A wall appeared at the entrance of Moramatch and temporarily stopped the zombies’ aggressive attacks. Shinbella took the opportunity and her mercenaries surrounded the zombies who had already rushed into the town. They slayed zombies like cutting melons. Shinbella and her mercenaries stood in fighting formation to be ready for the next round of fighting.
Finally, a large piece of swamp land appeared. Before the zombies surrounded by fire could react to the Swamp magic, their bodies were already stuck in the mud. The loud screams and determination not to be stuck in the swamp could not keep them from sinking.
Before Christian took the mage group to start a large-scale attack, Anfey had walked around to survey the battle with Suzanna. Anfey’s unusual vision had firmly locked on those few zombies.
Those few zombies looked like desperate kids who just lost their favorite toys. Those zombies who could speak consulted with each other and went straight forward into the sea of fire, screaming. The reasons for this were unclear: perhaps their intelligence had not yet fully developed, or perhaps they had never suffered attacks like this and they could not accept the reality, or perhaps they had been too confident in their abilities.
One of the zombies screamed even louder than his companions. He retreat quickly as his peers rushed into the sea of fire. His peers all ran forward into the fire and could not see what he did. The regular zombies passing him lacked the judgement and did not understand what their leader was doing. They did not care about asking anyway, in other words, they could not ask.
Some mages had to stop using firewall magic because their magic power was running low. The rest of the firewalls could still cause a lot of damage to zombies. The zombie leaders rushed over the firewall, but their bodies seemed to get slimmer once they had some flames on them. At the same time, their companions had run towards the forest and high-tailed it into the woods.
That is it! Anfey snorted. He and Suzanna separated, both running into the forest.
Anfey did not risk experiencing the excitement. He was calm and reasonable. In addition, he had extraordinary ability to anticipate his opponent’s thoughts and moves. Christian, Blavi and others, including sophisticated Alice, were all shocked when they saw zombies had the skill to communicate. They were thinking it would be a disaster to deal with a group of intelligent zombies when they had paid dearly in the Death War to dealing with death spirits who did not have intelligence.
Anfey was not only thinking about these things, but also thought deeper. It was not all bad that zombies had communication skills. It would be worse if they could not communicate. After zombies learned a language and had intelligence, they could show their confusion, anger, terror and even their secrets in certain occasions. This was the problem of all intelligence.
The zombies without intelligence had a fatal defect, but the zombies with intelligence had their own weakness. There is no perfect organism in the world. Anfey was the first one to realize it after seeing these new zombies.
At the same time, the necromancers all gathered in one place, celebrating their success as they dreamed about their future life. They were the creators of the new zombies, but none of them realized that everything had two sides, including the new zombies. Even though they could develop as they wanted, there would be conflicts among death spirits, like the current human society.
Very few people could avoid Anfey’s sense in the forest, nor could they find Anfey if he were stalking them. This was no exception for the zombie that had followed them into the woods. After he escaped a thousand yards and stopped next to an ancient tree, he removed the rotten leaves, branches and dirt with his bare hands and dug a big puddle. He laid inside the puddle and swept the dirt on himself with his hands to bury himself.
No matter whether burying a body or a live person, it was a pretty heavy labor. If he wanted to bury himself, it would have to be skillful work. The zombie looked ridiculous. He covered his head well with dirt, but his legs and half of his body were still in the air. It seemed that he felt he had buried himself well.
Anfey could not help thinking that what this zombie did was comparable to an ostrich burying its tiny head.
Anfey wanted to follow the zombie to figure out where new zombies gathered. The zombie did not move at all for quite a while. Does he want to wait until it’s dark? Anfey thought to himself. Anfey thoughts for a moment then gave Suzanna a look. They both ran fast to the puddle where the zombie had buried himself.
"Anfey, where are we going?" Suzanna asked softly. She did not know Anfey’s specific plan. Anfey blocked the view of the zombie with his body so she could not see it.
"Here." Anfey pointed. "That zombie buried himself."
Suzanna looked where Anfey was pointing. She was shocked by what she saw. She could not believe there could be zombies like this one. She never heard of such a thing.
"Get up! Stop playing dead," Anfey said, waving his hand. A green branch suddenly turned into a flexible whip and whipped the zombie. That zombie kept still. He seemed to want to play dead to the end.
"I am going to set you on fire if you do not get up." Anfey walked over as he talked. Without seeing how, hundreds of small fireballs suddenly appeared and revolved around Anfey.
That zombie suddenly screamed and jumped to his feet. He looked fiercely at Anfey and tried to snatch Anfey’s heart with his sharp fingers. The next moment, the zombie saw Suzanna had pulled her sword out and the white combat power radiated from her.
If nothing went wrong, his hands could pierce Anfey’s chest with one more inch. However, his ferocity left him the moment he saw Suzanna. That zombie turned around without any hesitation and tried to run away.
It was a fatal mistake for the zombie to think Anfey was not threatening only because he did not sense Anfey’s combat power. Anfey stepped forward as little fireballs gathered into a gigantic flame shield on his left arm. He swung the gigantic shield forward and hit right on the back of the zombie’s head. The zombie screamed in pain while his body was thrown forward as if it had been shot out of a cannon. He slammed into a tree and fell on his back on the ground.
Anfey slowly walked up to him. The zombie struggled to sit up. The ferocity in his eyes turned into a look of terror. He moved backwards as he timidly looked at Anfey. He backed into the trunk of the tree and could not move back any further.
"Do not try to run away. If you dare to move again,…" Anfey raised his thumb at Suzanna like a thug. "She will cut off your head for sure."
The zombie finally looked like a real zombie now. He stood against the tree and roared in a deep voice, but his body did not move at all.
"Tell me how many death spirits there are in the Transverse Mountain? How many zombies are like you?" Anfey was interrogating a zombie, but he was still a little too blunt.
That zombie kept roaring in a deep pitch. His body trembled slightly. He looked really scared.
"Do you understand what I am asking?" Anfey did not think he would get an answer anyway.
That zombie roared again.
"F*ck! If you do not understand me, why did you jump up when I said I would set you on fire? If you do not understand me, why are you scared to even move?" Anfey held his hand out. There was a gigantic flame sword in his hand. He swung it at the zombie’s cheek.
Anfey wanted him to be alive so he only hit him with the back edge of the sword instead of cutting him. Anfey did not put too much strength into it, but the zombie had a deep cut on his cheek. Black blood oozed out from the wound.
With close observation, Anfey had found many special things about this new zombie. He did not have that unbearable fishy stink. He had greyish pupils and could move freely. However, his fighting ability and stamina were not as good as the zombies that could be released with magic. Could it be the cost of evolution?
"I…" the zombie finally said in a coarse and machine-like voice.
Anfey looked excited. It proved that he was right. He was no longer worried. There must be more of this kind of zombie if he had seen one.


A skilled but unfortunate modern-day assassin was killed in a freak accident. However, he soon found himself summoned to another world by an evil wizard, who had him possess the body of a boy as an experiment. After successfully planning the evil wizard's downfall, he used the wizard's body as a springboard to gain influence and power in his new world.
