Apocalypse Meltdown

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.

Hundreds of Zombies

Editor: vb24

Taking back his gaze, Chu Han returned to driving without any words or expression.

When the light went on, zombies’ appearances were so clear. All of them had white eyes with no pupils, equipped with sharp bucktooth with bloody flesh. They seemed to want to smash the vehicle and drag the three people inside out of the car and have a wondrous feast.

Chen Shaoye and Fan Wei held their breath in. They should thank god for not fainting considering the situation they’re in. Putting his foot on the accelerator, Chu Han stepped hard on it!

Bang!

The G55 flew out again and it crashed into the closest zombies into mesh immediately. One crashed and dropped onto the rear glass. Strange dark-colored blood was flowing along it. The G55 was a tank of a vehicle and it made way and got through the encirclement quickly. The entire process was so smooth and dozens of zombies were killed on the way. Soon, the car was back on the spacious highway.

Chu Han wanted to step on the accelerator but his head was suddenly assailed by a pain. A mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

"The mission to kill hundreds of zombies within 12 hours was finished and the time was 11: 49’: 32’’.

"Meltdown system starts."

"Inspecting the host’s information."

There was a feeling of being stripped of his clothes, which made Chu Han fall into a daze.

What was it? Was it an extraterrestrial technology?

Chu Han looked back to Chen Shaoye and Fan Wei. They were in a jubilant mood after escaping death, seemingly not hearing the voice.

Chu Han looked so shocked. Although he had guessed that the voice only appeared in his mind, he was still extremely shocked.

It was the first time that Chu Han thought that something’s wrong with his head.

Soon, the mechanical voice appeared again-----

"Di-----test finish"

Meanwhile, Chu Han saw a semi-transparent light screen in front of him while the other two people had no reaction. It was something that only Chu Han could see, just like that voice.

Chu Han tried to suppress the shock and looked at the screen with astonishment. There were several words on the left side.

Name: Chu Han

Age: 20

Physical Strength: Normal

Supernatural Power: None

It was basic information and it was listed on the left side. There were several columns on the right side.

"You will get one point if you kill a first-grade zombie."

The sound left as abruptly as it came. It was now completely quite.

Chu Han’s forehead was damp with cold sweat because of shock and astonishment. He looked at the screen carefully and was a little bit upset when looking at the column of supernatural power. He had no supernatural power even in this incarnation.

Next, he kept looking and saw a small word on the right corner, ‘Credit: 0.’

"Credit can be exchanged for talent in meltdown system."

Exchanged? Talent?

Chu Han asked in his mind promptly, what kind of talent could I exchange for?

"Check it yourself."

Shit! Chu Han’s veins on his forehead were jumping. What he met today was too weird to adapt to. Its mood was up-and-down, just like a roller coaster. He searched on the screen and found that there were two classifications in the columns on the right side.

"Cough. Open it. Open it and let me have a look, please?" Chu Han asked in his heart gently. There was a flash when he finished his words and a list appeared in front of him.

Physical strength (Repair and upgrade)

Talent (Open and upgrade)

There were only two categories. Chu Han braked the car sharply when he clicked the column of talent. There was a flicking, making U-turn and running to the opposite side!

Fan Wei and Chen Shaoye had no psychological preparation and they were thrown back because of the inertia, especially Chen Shaoye whose iconic fat face was stuck in the window.

Chu Han paid no attention to what happened. He just accelerated and went back.

His previous incarnation stayed in eschatology and he knew the danger called humans.

Zombies would become stronger as time went on and there would be a second grade, third grade, and even higher grades. However, human beings also made signs of progress. While the physical strength of humans strengthened, the greatest hope of human being was intelligence and adaptive ability.

The gene of human beings was really strange. They could learn what they did not know before. In the future, everyone would use guns and they would have agility and strength which were different from nowadays.

He had no supernatural power and the meltdown system could not give him the power.

However, all kind of talents here could save him a lot of time.

He could live for ten years of eschatology as a common person in his previous incarnation, so this time, he would definitely make it with the help of the meltdown system.

"Brother Chu, what are you doing? Why are you turning back?" Chen Shaoye asked.

"To kill zombies," Chu Han as perfunctory as usual.

Zombies = credit!

A first-grade zombie was one point and right now, his credit was zero. He had a look and saw a lot of credits were needed to obtain talents, and the dozens of zombies were equivalent to credits.

He would kill all of them!

"Just stop it, brother Chu. The Zombies are so terrifying and you still want to kill them?" Chen Shaoye had a clouded expression on.

He was fat and was squeezed with Fan Wei in one position. He had become a meat cushion. His looks with the sad expression on were so funny.

Chu Han peeked at Fan Wei who laid on Chen Shaoye and he seemed to be in a comatose. The corner of his mouth started to hang weirdly. Was it that scary that you hugged with a zombie?

The driving skill of Chu Han was trained in those ten years. Although he had no driving license, he drove so fast that the cross country vehicle was similar to a supercar. In a short while, they were back to their previous location.

At this moment, several zombies were turning around on the road. They had no mind and could only chase after sound. They were not aware of the danger coming when the sound of a car became close to them. They were gathering to the car excitedly.

All of them were coming? Great! It was so great!

There were excitement in Chu Han’s eyes. With one step of the accelerator, the car was crashing towards the largest group of zombies with a bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dozens of zombies were crushed and dark blood stained the car.

Chu Han turned the steering wheel and kept hitting other zombies with the same method. He also looked at the number on the right corner of the screen.

Credit: 5

The number kept jumping with the repeated sound of collision.

Credit: 7

Chu Han was so excited while Chen Shaoye was too scared to have a look.

At this moment, there was a sudden pitter-patter and a strange sound came from the back seat.

Chen Shoaye got goosebumps all over his body when the weird sound suddenly appeared.

"Brother, brother Chu, what is that sound?" Chen Shaoye asked tremblingly.

Chu Han just ignored him and kept crashing into zombies with the car. At this moment, most of the zombies were already crushed and there was only a few of them scattered around. The meltdown system credits were increasing with the ceaseless collisions.
