Sequel to Back to the Beginning. Harry finds out that one of their advanced systems have been experiencing strange interruptions and follows them back to a military compound, where the Stargate, an ancient feat of alien technology, allows mankind to reach out and explore different worlds and cultures. Still harem, but less focused on that.

No one could imagine any disease like this to spread. The Undead Disease that only affected squirrels in Russia seem to spread all around the world!

Not only that but it’s now affecting humans! Borders have been shut down, the government is in shambles, & citizens are left to fight on their own.

Unluckily, Hotaka Ohkubo is stuck on his schools rooftop unable to leave. Locking the exit seems to work but for how long?

The Skybreak Heavenly Deity smiled when he saw the strange expression on Qin Wentian's face. "After seeing so many heavenheart mandates, did you gain any inspiration? Have you thought about what kinds of heavenheart mandate you want to comprehend?"
"I'll let nature takes its course. When a perfect fusion of source origins occurs, the heavenheart mandate would naturally be manifested. With a deeper layer of understanding, I hope I will be able to complete the fusion smoothly." Qin Wentian spoke.
The Skybreak Heavenly Deity started when he heard Qin Wentian's words, his ethereal voice contained a hint of disappointment. He held Qin Wentian's talent in very high regards but was Qin Wentian really going to be like the majority of experts, allowing their source origins to fuse first, gaining a heavenheart mandate before he manifested a world heart?
Why he would ask this question was because in reality, he wanted Qin Wentian to answer that he would consider it well and seek a suitable world heart energy to gain insights into. He wanted Qin Wentian to form his world domain first before he gained insights in heavenheart mandates.
One must know that a World Overlord would only have a single world heart but there are countless kinds of heavenheart mandates. World hearts are the root, heavenheart mandates are the branches and leaves. The Skybreak Heavenly Deity had placed all his hopes on Qin Wentian, he naturally hoped that Qin Wentian would have extraordinary achievements and choose the path where he comprehend a world heart first.
Hence, he was somewhat disappointed after he heard Qin Wentian's words.
Naturally, he wouldn't say anything and wouldn't disrupt Qin Wentian's cultivation or stop him from his choice. He was only responsible to impart the dao. As for how Qin Wentian wanted to approach the giant gate leading to the World Overlord Realm, that would have to depend on himself. Only by depending on himself would he be able to gain the deepest insight, allowing his cultivation base to be extremely stable.
Retracting his disappointment deep in his heart, the Skybreak Heavenly Deity felt hope again. Maybe, given how strong Qin Wentian's astral souls are, he might be able to form some extremely powerful heavenheart mandates from fusing his source origins.
"There are still some undamaged secret realms in the ancient battlefield and places with divine depositories. I'll bring you to roam around." The Skybreak Heavenly Deity spoke. After that, they left the World of the Ten Thousand Laws.
...
Time flowed extremely quickly by, especially during cultivation. Unknowingly, several years have already passed. During these years, all the experts brought here by Qin Wentian had terrifying levels of improvements. Such improvement speed would undoubtedly cause a storm to rise if it was known to the people outside.
Many immortal emperors, other than those with weaker cultivation bases, have all actually stepped into the empyrean realm. For those initial-stage and mid-stage emperors, they were now at the peak-stage of the immortal emperor realm, only a step away from reaching the empyrean realm too.
This was simply a transformation. The strength of everyone was upgraded and it sounded somewhat like an exaggeration.
However, the people guiding them were all heavenly deities. There were countless lives in the world but how many would be fortunate enough to receive pointers and dao lectures from heavenly deities?
Even for characters of the Heavenly Deity Race, only the most talented of them all would have such a chance. Just a single clan of the Heavenly Deity Race would be extremely large with countless population. It was naturally impossible for everyone in the clan to receive guidance from their heavenly deity. Only those with supreme talents or direct descendants would have such an opportunity.
But all these people from Azure Mystic have precisely received such preferential treatment. They even entered the various secret realms to temper themselves, gaining further inheritances from divine depositories. All of them had transcended their past selves and grew even stronger.
In fact, the person who improved the least was actually Qin Wentian. During these several years, Qin Wentian had entered many secret realms and divine depositories as he continued to deepen his insights. His comprehension towards the World Overlord Realm naturally grew as well, but sadly, he was still unable to break through. He hasn't manage to manifest a heavenheart mandate yet.
The reason behind this was very simple. For immortal emperors to break through to the empyrean realm, they had to transform their law energy into the source origins of that particular law, perfecting their understanding of it. But for empyreans breaking through to the World Overlord Realm, they still had to learn how to fuse source origins as well as comprehend a world heart. The difficulty was way higher.
After some of the empyreans reached perfection in their source origins, they also entered the World of Ten Thousand Laws. When they exited, all of them were sighing at how terrifying that place was but they were the same as Qin Wentian. The World Overlord Realm still seemed to be so far from their reach.
Through these years, Qin Wentian entered the World of Ten Thousand Laws many times. Although each and every time was an agonizing experience, he didn't have any second thoughts and suppressed the fear of that sensation of true death. He managed to last longer and saw even more heavenheart mandates.
Today, inside the floating city, before the magnificent statue of the Imperishable Heaven Lord, Qin Wentian, Qing`er, Beiming Youhuang, the Southern Phoenix Matriarch and many others were here.
Qing`er, Beiming Youhuang and the Southern Phoenix Matriarch have all entered the empyrean realm. Their demeanors changed, becoming even more outstanding. They who were originally already extremely beautiful became even more so now. When they stood together, they caused the surroundings to lose all their colors.
"I actually feel somewhat jealous seeing how fast you guys broke through to the empyrean realm." Qin Wentian laughed. "Currently, I'm most probably the only one still stuck at my original realm."
"What you are trying to achieve is the World Overlord Realm, it would naturally be difficult. Although I'm also experiencing the strength of World Overlords, I still don't understand it. Even with heavenly deities guiding me, I still feel it's unfathomable." Nanfeng Yaoyue, the Southern Phoenix Matriarch, shook her head. Right now before Qin Wentian, she naturally no longer exuded the imposingness of the Southern Phoenix Matriarch. In her aura, there was only grace and elegance left. During these years, she has already slowly adapted and could now completely treat Qin Wentian as a friend.
Naturally, with regards to this outstanding junior who allowed her to climb to her current heights, other than friendship, she also felt gratitude. Who would have thought that her decision to form a friendship with Qin Wentian back then allowed her to break through to the legendary realm of Azure Mystic, the ancient emperor realm, today?
"It's truly not easy to enter the World Overlord Realm." Beiming Youhuang softly spoke.
"Let nature take its course. For matters like cultivation, it's useless even if we want to rush it. We would only serve to delay ourselves more if we act with haste." Qin Wentian casually smiled. He could feel that he was improving everyday. Breaking through to the World Overlord Realm was something that would happen sooner or later, he wasn't in a rush to accomplish that.
"Where are they now?" Qin Wentian asked Beming Youhuang. They gathered here today because Beiming Youhuang sent a news to Qin Wentian telling him that the experts of the Heavenly Deity Race have already reached a location not far away from the floating city. They would soon discover it.
Also, their objective was very clear, they were rushing towards this place. Clearly, somebody was guiding them.
Qin Wentian guessed that they might have found some surviving wills of ancient heavenly deities in the ancient battlefield. Since the wills of ancient heavenly deities could survive, why couldn't the wills of those heavenly deities from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms survive as well?
Even before their opponents arrived, Beiming Youhuang already knew about it. This was because right now, Beiming Youhuang already managed to control many zombies. These zombies have all became her eyes.
"They are about to enter the city." Beiming Youhuang spoke.
"Seems like they would soon reach this place after a period of time." Qin Wentian mumbled. "Youhuang just control the zombies in the shadows, try not to show yourself in the open. Inform me immediately once you have other news. Qing`er, Yaoyue, you all hide yourselves as well and do what you need to do. I will try to mingle in the crowd and will temporarily handle the things there. If I'm unable to do so, I'll look for you all again."
"Be careful, okay?" Qing`er was extremely worried. After all, their opponents are extremely powerful experts and the one leading them are people from the Heavenly Deity Race from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.
"Don't worry. Although I didn't break through during these years, my improvements are not small. Also, don't forget that I still have Senior Skybreak's will with me." Qin Wentian smiled at Qing`er. He then turned to Beiming Youhuang, "Youhuang will be in the shadows. If I really encounter danger, she can send the zombies to aid me."
"Mhm." Qing`er nodded, and left this place. This news about them, people from Azure Mystic, managing to obtain the inheritances of heavenly deities was something that must never be divulged. If not, Azure Mystic might truly be finished. This matter was too serious, it was even more serious than them killing these experts from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.
How large was the Heavenly Deity Race? Even if some of them died, as long as they weren't truly core characters, it would only attract the attention from some World Overlords of the Heavenly Deity Race. But if the news about people from Azure Mystic managing to obtain the inheritance of Ancient Azure Mystic, maybe even those heavenly deities who are still alive might come themselves.
At this moment, a bunch of people entered the floating city. These people were all from different camps and there were also several who were simply followers, coming here alone with no alignment. When they stared at this magnificent city that was marked by devastation and destruction, a strong anticipation filled their hearts. They heard from those of the Heavenly Deity Race that this floating city was the core of Ancient Azure Mystic. A city where the Imperishable Heaven Lord grew up in.
Once in the past, inside this city, some heavenly deities stayed here before.
From this, one could very well imagine how many treasures there would be if a divine depository was found here.
"Wang Yi, Yu Feifan has already obtained a heavenly deity's will. Would he have arrived here already?" Someone turned his gaze to Wang Yi from the Heavenly Deity Race.
"I have no idea. Back then, the Winged God Race's ancestor borrowed Yu Feifan's body and fought against someone from Azure Mystic. After that, both of them disappeared, I have no idea where they went to. But even so, what can they do even if they came here? How can the treasures within be occupied by a single person?" Wang Yi coldly spoke.
"A person from Azure Mystic? You guys actually didn't kill that person?" An expert coldly spoke. Wang Yi's eyes flashed. Back then, it was true that they should have directly killed Qin Wentian. They didn't expect an ant like him would actually obtain good fortune, receiving a heaven deity's will. He even dared to proclaim himself as the Heaven Empyrean of Azure Mystic. Right now, nobody knew if he was already killed by Yu Feifan or not.
They continued advancing, directly rushing towards the floating city in the sky. On their way there, they discovered that there were actually no zombies obstructing them. This was highly unusual.
"Did you guys realize that no zombies obstructed us during our journey here?" Someone brought up a suspicious point.
"Could it be that this was a sacred city back then and even the zombies still felt awe and trepidation in their hearts although they have already died?" Another expert had a strange expression on his face. The situation was indeed somewhat strange.
"Don't bother too much about that. There's definitely the wills of many ancient heavenly deities in the floating city." At this moment, an expert from the Heavenly Deity Race spoke. The expressions of everyone turned solemn as their attitudes became more serious. This was the central core city of Ancient Azure Mystic. Those surviving wills of the ancient heavenly deities should be here, right?


In the Province of the Nine Skies, far above the heavens, there exists Nine Galaxies of Astral Rivers made up of countless constellations interwoven together. For Martial Cultivators, they could form an innate link with one of the constellations, awaken their Astral Soul, and transform into a Stellar Martial Cultivator.

Legend has it that, the strongest cultivators in the Province of the Nine Skies, were beings that could open an astral gate every time they advanced into a new realm. Their talent in cultivation was such that they could even establish innate links with constellations that existed in a layer higher than the Nine Layers of Heavens, eventually transforming into the heaven-defying and earth-shattering power known as the War God of the Nine Heavens.

Qin Wentian is the MC of this story. How could a guy, with a broken set of meridians, successfully cultivate? There were countless Stellar Martial Cultivators, as there were countless constellations in the vast starry skies. What he wanted to be, was the brightest constellation of all, shining dazzlingly in the vast starry skies. 

Song Qingfeng instinctively pulled back his arm but failed. He looked down and noticed that the way this zombie grabbed him was familiar!
Qinna[1]? How could Zombies know the Qinna Techniques? Song Qingfeng's expression froze upon realizing what was happening.
Then, he quickly kicked forward, sending the two zombies into the air.
The 'zombies' immediately cried out in pain, "Ouch, Young Master Song, can't you be gentler?"
"I thought we were friends!" another voice sounded.
The zombies were actually Lin Shao and Xu Luo!
"What the hell are you two up to?" Song Qingfeng glared at them. "I didn't use much warrior qi; get up!"
Lin Shao laughed as he got up from the ground and took the mask-like item off his face. "What do you think? Our zombie masks look life-like, don't they?"
Xu Luo laughed. "We made them in a rush. If you look closely, it's a little rough around the edges."
Song Qingfeng was so mad that he burst out laughing. "You guys are hilarious; I can't believe that you would dress up as zombies! Don't tell others that I know you, okay?"
"What do you think, Young Master Song, would you like to join our zombie army?" Xu Luo patted Song Qingfeng's shoulder and winked at him.
"Uh…" Song Qingfeng glanced at them in disdain, "It doesn't suit my status! Did you think that I would stoop to your level?"
"What's the problem? No one can recognize you with a mask on!" Lin Shao grabbed his arm and pulled him aside. Suddenly, a few people appeared at the end of the road.
"Isn't that Xi Qi and his friends?"
He quickly took out a zombie mask and handed it to Song Qingfeng. "Hurry up and put it on! They should taste the horror of being jump-scared by zombies!"
…
Xi Qi, Xi Xiaoyun, Wang Guangyuan, and a few other students were walking down the path while discussing the lightning punishment that happened at the Origins Internet Club today, as well as Resident Evil.
Suddenly, they saw a lifeless figure standing there with his back facing them.
Under the big tree was another person, hunched on the ground. Then, they noticed the third person lying down before them.
"Is he hurt?" Curious, Xi Qi walked up and patted the back of the man who was lying on the ground.
That man slowly turned around, revealing his rotten face!
"AH!" A shriek erupted, "Zombie!"
"Zombie?" Xi Qi pulled his hands back as if he had been electrocuted. If he were injured by zombies, even a little, he would be infected! There weren't any blood serums in this world that he could use as antidotes!
Then, the 'dead body' on the ground slowly got up. The man on the side of the road turned around as well; it was another rotten zombie!
The three 'zombies' growled before charging towards the people in front of them!
Although they've killed quite a few zombies in the game, they've never seen anything like this in real life! Moreover, Xi Xiaoyun's scream scared them all, causing Xi Qi to grab his sister by the wrist and run off almost immediately!
Wang Guangyuan and the others were blanking out when they noticed that Xi Qi had run away. Therefore, they turned around and dashed away without hesitation!
"Hahaha!" The three 'zombies' all laughed until their stomachs hurt.
"Quiet down! More people are coming!" After Xi Qi ran away with his friends, a few others walked toward them…
"Get ready, get ready!"
Song Qingfeng felt like crying; he realized that he had been roped into their shenanigans and couldn't get out.
That night, a rumor spread at the Lingyun Academy; apparently, there were 'zombies' on the path between the martial arts field and the gates of the academy.
…
Fang Qi finally heard news about the neighboring shop. But sadly, it wasn't good news.
"Qi, are you in a hurry to use that shop?" Auntie Wang knew that a lot of people visited Fang Qi's shop. Although she asked that question, she already knew the answer to it. "I don't know why. No one wanted that shop for the longest time, but someone suddenly bought it!"
"It's okay," Fang Qi replied, "Thank you, Auntie Wang."
"Don't thank me," Auntie Wang said apologetically, "I didn't help much."
Fang Qi felt confused upon returning to his shop; something was definitely up.
Who in the world bought that shop at a time like this?
As he wracked his brain for an answer, a man wearing a black robe came into his shop.
"You are…?" Fang Qi was just about to ask if this man was a new customer introduced by someone when he took out a letter from his inner pocket.
"Are you Mr. Fang Qi?" The man in black handed him the letter. "My master asked me to give this to you."
"Your master?" Fang Qi was confused as he took the letter. Then, he suddenly thought of the correlation between this letter and the neighboring shop.
"Thank your master for me, will you?"
Fang Qi opened the letter and read it.
[I would like to treat Mr. Fang to tea tomorrow morning at 7 AM. See you on the third floor of the Wind and Moon Pavilion.]
He stood outside his shop and looked into the sky, without a speck of emotion on his face. I guess some people just don't know when to give up.
Fang Qi only got to play for two to three hours yesterday before closing. Today, he was busy the entire day and didn't get the chance to even touch a computer.
He used to have 20ish customers. But now, he had more than 30.
Fang Qi looked at the number of movie tickets sold: 32 tickets.
These tickets couldn't be re-bought. This meant that he needed 18 or more new customers at his internet café to sell 50 tickets. Only then would he complete his task.
Yet, the only thing he cared about was the size of his shop.
The internet café was extremely busy and full all the time; he really needed more space!
- The next morning at the Wind and Moon Pavilion -
Only those with enough status could go up to the third floor.
Those who came here were either dignified cultivators, elegant aristocrats, or highly-respected warriors with spiritual artifacts on their backs!
Fang Qi had seen people like that before. Even if they limited their warrior qi, others could still feel the great extent of their powers.
When Fang Qi headed upstairs, two young men in blue passed by him. The young men weren't as well-built as warriors, but their eyes emitted an icy and powerful light! Their bodies gave off a unique sense of freedom and special auras.
Without a doubt, they were both cultivators who were powerful.
"I heard Xiao Yulv was beaten up yesterday?"
"I think so, at a shop called 'Origins'. His grandfather used to hold such high power, but Xiao Yulv sure is useless! He couldn't even win against an ordinary civilian! I can't believe he still calls himself a cultivator!"
"Exactly, he even contacted Xu Fuwei…"
"Xu Fuwei, the Yuan River Realm Cultivator? It's just a small shop, why is he making it into such a big deal?" The two cultivators discussed amongst themselves as they walked upstairs. Fang Qi heard them and furrowed his eyebrows.
"Are you Mr. Fang Qi?" As soon as he arrived upstairs, a pretty woman in red walked up and greeted him.
This woman also seemed to have abundant qi. Clearly, anyone who was on the third level was not a commoner, including the waiters and waitresses.
Fang Qi nodded his head slightly.
"Please come with me."
Then, Fang Qi followed her to a private room, located at the northern end of the restaurant. Its location was obviously separated from the other rooms, clearly depicting the high status and prestige of whoever invited Fang Qi.
The hallway of the private room was guarded by four people, and they looked at Fang Qi indifferently with a slight hint of arrogance.
The truth was, no one understood why the person in the private room would invite such an ordinary-looking young man over for tea.
The private room was spacious and could fit at least eight tables. However, there was only one table beside the window, from where one could see the countless carriages on the roads of Jiuhua City.
The utensils on the table, as well as the cups, plates, and bowls, were all meticulously made of silver and extremely valuable.
Steam rose from the table as all sorts of delicate dishes were placed on it. The person who invited Fang Qi seemed sure that he would arrive on time.
A girl wearing white sat on the east side of the table. Her hair was neatly organized into a bun, and she was an elegant beauty.
Fang Qi could only see her profile; she was beautiful and charming.
She sat beside the window and looked out into the sky as if she were an alluring sculpture made of ice.
Her gaze landed on the crowd of people outside. If felt like only by looking at them would her icy expression show a hint of warmth.
Behind her stood a girl in black; she was beautiful and refined but also emitted a valiant aura.
"Your name is Lan Yan, right?" Fang Qi sat down and asked the girl in black, confirming the identity of the girl in white. "Ms. Nalan, I didn't think you would be interested in a tiny shop on a secluded street."
"That depends on the shop." Nalan Mingxue finally turned her head and looked at the wine cups before her. Lan Yan slowly filled them up.
"This is Pear Blossom Wine, a Jiuhua specialty. It's extremely smooth, and it can help you sleep better and calm your nerves. It's also good for your cultivation," Nalan Mingxue said as Lan Yan handed a cup to Fang Qi. "After seeing your shop yesterday, I've noticed that it really is a magical little place."
Fang Qi looked at the amber-colored liquid in his cup and laughed. "Ms. Nalan, I'm going to assume that you didn't invite me here to just drink, right?"
Lan Yan took out a stack of paper and placed them before Fang Qi. "These are the deeds to all the shops on Street 103 East."
"… What do you mean?" Fang Qi froze upon realizing what they did. "Don't tell me that you bought the entire street."
"It's just a little gift," Nalan Mingxue said gently. "It's for you, Mr. Fang."
"What do you want, Ms. Nalan?" Fang Qi laughed.

We’ve had systems that help the MCs make pills, steal skills from legendary masters, and even be forced to show off to earn points, but what about a system that allows one to run a virtual reality internet cafe, featuring all the classic games?

Our MC awakens in a new world (Truck-kun strikes again) and finds himself with a mysterious system that allows him to run a fully self-sufficient virtual reality internet cafe! What? Opening an internet cafe in a cultivator world? You can now surf the internet, watch dramas, and play video games?!

One Emperor Warrior cried after visiting MC’s shop, “Damn, Blizzard completes my life!”
Another Yuan River Realm cultivator gasped after drinking Sprite, “What is this sorcery?” 

What else did the MC bring to the cultivator world? Come join us on this adventure as Fang Qi faces off against cultivation sects and major forces with his collection of modern treasures.

I couldn't analyze my new status anymore. Around there were five zombies that were already too close. Take the yellow metal tube and in just motion the heads of all of them flew out. So, the bodies fell like puppets that have cut their strings.
"Tom Summer has won! Pick up your prize, you deserve it!" The commentator said.
In front of me appeared a silver gift box, with a blue bow, and 5 red coins with the face of Lara Connor. As he touched things the Omnivaiz said:
"Do you want to store everything in your inventory? YES OR NO."
"Woow, I have a virtual inventory!" I thought, but looking everywhere I saw too many zombies around, not necessarily walked towards me, but it would be best to find a safer place. As I increased my size, I realized I was naked. What it means I was going to have trouble finding a vagina for my snake.
Looking again at the items I had earned I said:
"Yes!"
The parking was 25 yards from the swimming pools. My instincts detected a danger coming from that direction. Then my eyes sharpened, and I saw a humanoid figure approach the window.
He was a 3-metre-tall crocodile man. he was look everywhere as a search for something. His eyes found mine, I knew I was in trouble. He was probably annoyed with me for escaping from his mouth with my life and to his shame I devoured his uvula
"Boo dup!" sounded my heart forcefully. I started thinking, my options, to get away from this wretched Magic Razana diminutive of Razanandrongobe. 
…
To escape from the university, I will tell you where it is to help me think about how to escape from here.
The university was on a dead end, as in 2018 it had built the Trinity Mall on the right side of the U and there only goods came in for that place. We could say the Trinity Mall was after seventh street and across Stevenson Street. In front of the university, there was a parking.
Diagonal the university from the on the left a huge Administrative Building of Social Security, and adjoining the parking lot was the General Hospital, which I preferred to avoid, because they were surely full of zombies.
Just to the left of the University, were the Bedrooms and after this the American Theater, which would be the perfect place for a giant like me to live, And I only consider this place because the ceiling is high. The bad thing that I had to go in dragging myself across floor.
With this I already have a place to live in mind, but I need a weapon since after attacking the horde with the yellow tube it is almost useless
Well, the best solution is to run to Oakley Armory between Fifth Street and Fourth Street Market. In this armory if I am not mistaken among conventional weapons you could get the sword of all kinds and origins. Among them I think I see seen a similar to the Dragon Killer of the anime Berserker from 1989.
"Answering your question: The truth is, I've never used!"

In Tom's world they had built a convenient technology called Nanotec: that they were micromachines that were able to build or rebuild anything having the necessary elements, with which at first they used it for medicine, then in construction and even began to use it in the construction of smart clothes. When one day the company Retksuken decided to use its augmented reality technology to make it more real.

A cataclysmic event occurs in which the world is changed to a world of rpg.

Another man nodded. "I also believe that we should not think highly of Chu Han. We've already spent a lot of manpower to search for him but to no avail. He must be in a remote place. He may have become the local tyrant of a base, and it's possible that he doesn't want to be found. He may not want to join the military."
"Commander Mu," another man stood out. "You should reconsider. Currently, even our best troops find it difficult to fight against zombies. It's useless to keep searching for a man who isn't related to the military in any way."
Commander Mu frowned, and a sharp glint flashed through his eyes.
"But from the report we got," Luo Ming, the old fox, paused and then continued with a smile, "Chu Han commanded and participated in the Death City's battle. 80 people, who had participated in the battle attested to that."
Many of the listeners frowned, doubted and then someone sneered.
"80?"
"Too few. What about the losses?"
"80 people are nothing much."
"How many evolutionaries? Are there any phase-3 or phase-4?"
Luo Ming glanced at Commander Mu beside him when they started bombarding him with questions. Then, he continued with a smile, "There are several phase-1 evolutionaries, but none of them are famous rankers. Originally, we thought that those 80 would like to join the military, but strangely enough, they all refused to do so. Instead, they decided to follow a veteran called Cheng Xianguo. Oh yes, Cheng Xianguo shares a good relationship with Chen Shaoye."
Many people looked at each other in disgust, some didn't understand what Luo Ming was thinking.
"Several phase-1 evolutionaries?"
"None of them is a phase-2. They would only become a burden if they joined."
"I know about Cheng Xiaoguo. He is nothing special."
"Only Chen Shaoye matters."
Suddenly, Zhuang Hong, a General, stood up. He had defeated 10,000 zombies with a brigade of 8,000 people. It was worthy to mention that the brigade was only equipped with guns, nothing more. It was a proud record.
"Old Luo." Zhuang Hong looked serious. "I'm a simple man who only knows how to fight. I don't like running in circles, so can tell us what those 80 have to do with Chu Han?"
The others felt it was strange too as they didn't know why those 80 were special, even though they had participated in a battle against zombies. What did they have to do with finding Chu Han? Besides, they were nothing special since most of them were ordinary people. Currently, the number of evolutionaries in China had surpassed 20,000.
Luo Ming drank his tea slowly. "Biluochun tea, there are not many people who can drink this tea now!"
"Old Luo!" Zhuang Hong looked unnatural, "You hold a high position in this meeting, can you cut the crap?"
'Cough!'
Luo Ming coughed a few times after hearing Zhuang Hong straightforward words.
All the people present were also smitten by Zhuang Wang's words, but nobody could blame him. They were all displeased with Luo Ming. Zhuang Hong had significantly contributed in the fights against the zombies, and he was also a General. Naturally, many people admired him.
Luo Ming recovered and looked at the displeased crowd. "Do you think that those 80 I just mentioned have nothing to do with this matter? Then, do you know about the origins of using lithium batteries as explosives, creating mazes and hunting inside them?" 
Listening to that sentence, Zhuang Hong exclaimed, "Didn't the military create that combat method based on the studies that ordinary zombies can't think or see."
"The Academy of Sciences has indeed studied the zombies' physiology. We now know of the zombies' enhanced hearing and smelling and how some of them are so sensitive that they can recognize the smell of gunpowder or a gunshot from far away." Luo Ming nodded slightly, and then his tone changed, "However, we were not the ones who came up with that combat plan. The 80 people were the ones who provided it to us!"
"What!?"
"How could it be possible?"
"I don't believe it. They are ordinary people, not soldiers or officials!"
Suddenly, heated conversations started.
Zhuang Hong frowned as he thought that Luo Ming was joking with them.
"You don't believe it?" Luo Ming kept looking at Commander Mu, who was silent but with sharp eyes, and then he said, "The 80 people belonged to a troop of 700 people. After leaving Tong City, they met many dangerous situations on the way. Most of them are dead, and only a group of elites survived. You should have seen them when they came here. I was astonished when I heard their story."
"700?"
"80 people survived out of a team with 700 people. Although the data is surprising, it's in line with the current situation. What's wrong with this?"
"Yes! It is so hard to come from Tong City."
"But I heard that they came back with the troops retreating from Shi City."
"Old Luo." Zhuang Hong could not bear it, "Can you stop beating around the bush?"
"Since General Zhuang wants me to be straightforward, then I hope you won't get embarrassed." Luo Ming smiled.
"How could he feel embarrassed?" Someone interrupted. "Fighting against 10,000 zombies with a brigade of 8,000 people, and casualties no higher than 2,000, nobody else should have accomplished something like that."
"Really now?" Luo Ming stopped smiling, and his sharp eyes resembled that of an eagle. "In Tong City's battle, 700 fought against 18,000 zombies."
The room turned silent. Everyone was utterly speechless.
"What?"
"Luo Lao, are you trying to pull our legs?"
"Did the 700 die? Not even their bones should be there now!"
"Wait! The 80 people came from Tong City, right? Then, they should be from the 700. But didn't he say that many died on the road here?"
"Old Luo, that was not a battle, right?" Zhuang Hong felt dizzy and retorted, "700 people escaping from 18,000 zombies isn't called a battle!"
"Who told you that they fled from the zombies?" Commander Mu, who had not spoken till now, said with a strict tone, "In Tong City's battle, 700 people fought against 18,000 zombies and killed them all. There was no casualty amongst the 700 people. They didn't escape from Tong City, but they left it only after killing all the zombies!"
'Boom!'
All of the base's influential figures were thunderstruck.
Before anyone could say anything, Luo Ming intervened, "The one who directed the battle was none other than Chu Han."
After speaking, Luo Ming sipped his tea. He was in a good mood. 


One day, darkness enshrouded the world. 
According to the Meltdown theory, Earth’s magnetic field faced a change, and along with it, natural laws changed too. Though some laws related to physics could still be applied, a lot of scientific theories and laws had been overturned, prompting everyone to re-discover their underlying principles. Humanity’s scientific foundation was not the only one which faced changes; the field of genetics had transformed too. 
One of the biggest disasters brought by the magnetic field’s change was the zombification of more than 80% of the world’s population. 
After years of struggling, a few lucky survivors would evolve and awaken a hibernating power hidden in them. 
Chu Han was never that lucky…
While holding on against the first wave, humans weren't the only ones getting stronger. Soon, phase-1 zombies evolved into phase-2 then phase-3 and so on. 
Ten years after the mysterious meltdown, the world dominated by humans changed hands. Zombies were the new overlords, and humanity was facing extinction.
One day, Chu Han`s consciousness returned ten years before the end of the worlds. A loud noise awakened him in Minqiu University’s dormitory. With only one day to prepare before the Apocalypse’s outburst, he slowly realized that he had been reincarnated! 
Chu Han’s sudden reincarnation brought an unexpected power, which he hadn’t in his previous hellish world. To be more precise it wasn’t a power, but a system! The Meltdown System! 
Despite losing his monstrous strength gained through years of harsh training, Chu Han was confronted as the Meltdown System could grant him talents in exchange for credits, which he could get with every zombie he killed. 
This is a story about a world on the edge of ruins, the Meltdown System, and Chu Han, trying his best to save the people he could not save before.
