I am a loser, a socially phobic, and a shut-in? Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes!

As he spoke, Xu Lin took out a piece of parchment without any panic, dripped his own blood directly on it, and cut a piece of zombie Alice’s flesh and put it on it. The next moment, the parchment was burned up by the dark blue flame…
After some judgment, it was discovered that there was some connection between Xu Lin and the little girl zombie Alice.
“Sun Lan’s recovery ability is too disgusting. In order to avoid such a situation in the future, I immediately made a sealing countermeasure to deal with the immortal enemy after the trip to the Hidden Water Village… It is too wasteful to use those sealing countermeasures against this zombie… Her ability to control other zombies may be useful next time.”
‘[Supernormal Item – Slave Contract] One of the captured items during the Ten Thousand Races War. It is speculated that it was made by a third-level demon. Not many of them remain in the world… I spent a lot of contribution points to exchange it from the association… It is almost equivalent to working to exchange one… As long as the current level of the contractee is lower than the first level, and the current situation is judged to be that the contractor can kill the contractee’s body, a fair contract can be forced to be completed. After the contract is completed, the contractee will completely obey the contractor. The contractor dies, the contractee dies, the contractee dies, and nothing happens to the contractor. The contractee can only get rid of the contract if he is promoted to the third level… I was originally planning to contract some mutant beasts with high potential as pets… It’s not a waste to use them on this zombie…’
“You, what did you do???”
Unlike Xu Lin, Alice was shocked when she felt the connection with Xu Lin and found that Xu Lin had inexplicably become her master, and it seemed that even suicide could not get rid of this connection.
How did he do this? Even the third-level dean of Liuhe County Supernormal College couldn’t do this, right?
“This is not the way to talk to your master. Kneel down.”
After listening to Xu Lin’s words, even though the little girl Alice was unwilling in her heart, she couldn’t control her body and knelt down on the spot.
“I can smell the blood on you and your disregard for life… You have killed more than one person, and you must pay for it…”
“Oh, that sounds nice. You control me through some ability, isn’t it because you like my ability? Even if you control my body, you can’t control my unruly and freedom-loving soul! So what if I kill so many people? You just can’t bear to kill me! Even more, in the process of getting along day and night, as I show more and more value, I will be whitewashed, and everything I have done before will be written off. The lives of ordinary people are not worth mentioning, and their value is far less than mine. Isn’t that what so-called human beings are like? Why pretend to be so righteous? Ta-ta-da, ta-ta-da! The only result between zombies and humans is…hiss!!!”
Halfway through her speech, Alice suddenly rolled over on the ground holding her head as she felt an extreme pain as if her soul was being torn apart.
“You are right, but only half right. What I am interested in is your body. Why do I need your heart? Signing a slave contract with you does not mean that I will let you go. There is no conflict between the two, so there is no need for you to talk nonsense.”
“The contractor has complete control over everything about the contractor. After signing the contract, I will use the contract to erase your self-consciousness and turn you into an ordinary zombie… This way, I don’t have to worry about you secretly tripping me up in the future… Your consciousness disappears, which is equivalent to death. You have paid the price for your previous actions, and I can use your remaining body to save more innocent people to help you atone for your sins. This is a win-win situation, and everyone will have a bright future~”
Chapter 80: Rebirth in the End of the World?
After dealing with the little girl zombie Alice, Xu Lin controlled Alice to make the other zombies under Alice’s control let go of Jiang Ke, and Jiang Ke immediately collapsed to the ground powerlessly…
“You were bitten by a zombie…”
Seeing the wound on Jiang Ke’s waist, Xu Lin said with certainty.
Those who have not been transformed into zombies by the zombie virus in the air will inevitably become zombies after being bitten by zombies…
This is what I thought before, but after seeing the super zombie Alice, my thoughts have changed a little… Just like the awakened people who often appear in apocalyptic novels, in the process of humans transforming into zombies, it seems that there is a possibility of retaining self-awareness, wisdom, and awakening new abilities.
I am not sure whether Jiang Ke has this possibility.
“Do you have any special feelings…”
“If not, and if you really can’t bear the pain, I can help you get rid of it.”
Seeing veins popping up on Jiang Ke’s forehead and his skin starting to turn blue, Xu Lin spoke seriously.
“I can feel the power surging from my body… It hurts, and I can directly feel that my body is transforming into a zombie, but… My consciousness is not affected in the slightest.”
Jiang Ke endured the unbearable pain and said with gritted teeth.
“Is this so…”
Maybe Jiang Ke is transforming into a super zombie like Alice?
In this case, becoming a zombie may not be a bad thing for Jiang Ke… at least it is not the end of his life…
A towel was stuffed into Jiang Ke’s mouth, allowing him to bite the towel to relieve some of the pain. After doing all the hospice care he could, under the solemn gaze of Xu Lin and the team members, Jiang Ke, whose pain level was still increasing, rolled on the ground in pain, and then twitched all over…
This process lasted for about ten minutes, until the last violent convulsion, Jiang Ke’s heart stopped beating, his breathing stopped, his pupils gradually dilated and disappeared, the blood in his body also stopped circulating, and all signs of life activities stopped functioning… Jiang Ke was dead…
The next moment, Jiang Ke suddenly opened his eyes wide and began to breathe heavily. After a long time, he looked at the surrounding environment in confusion. This was obviously different from the behavior of other zombies, which made Xu Lin’s red eyes light up.
“Jiang Ke?”
Looking at Jiang Ke, who had only the whites of his eyes left, Xu Lin said uncertainly.
“I…it’s still me…yes, I’m Jiang Ke”
Just like a drunken blackout, Jiang Ke looked at his hands in confusion and said seriously.
“How do you feel now?”
“I can feel a chaotic evil instinct in my body…”
“Under the influence of this instinct, I… feel that you are delicious”
“Especially the famous Miss Xu Lin. Your genes are excellent. If I could eat you, I would definitely be able to become a super strong person in one go.”
Looking at Xu Lin and the others, feeling the instinctive desire of his genes, Jiang Ke said honestly.
“This is a normal zombie instinct… Can eating animals make up for this instinct?”
“It seems… it’s OK…”
“In addition to instinct, has Miss Jiang Ke awakened any special abilities similar to Alice’s?”
Xu Lin asked curiously.
“Yes… I seem to have gained the ability to manipulate metals through magnetism… In addition, during the awakening process, some genetic information appeared in my brain…”
“Only those with extraordinary potential can be transformed into special zombies like me, who retain their original memories… If you don’t have extraordinary potential, you can only be transformed into an ordinary zombie…”
Speaking of this, Jiang Ke’s expression seemed a little strange.
“In apocalyptic novels, mutant zombies and awakened ones are both very common. Awakened ones and mutant zombies will also appear in Liuhe County. Mutated zombies are usually zombies that have completely lost their self-identity and become zombies. A second consciousness that appears on the basis of the zombie body is different from that of the original owner of the body… Awakened ones, after being bitten by zombies, survive the virus erosion, and successfully complete their evolution through mutation. A first consciousness that is consistent with the original owner of the body appears on the basis of the human body…”
“Like Alice, I am neither an awakener nor a mutant zombie. I seem to be somewhere in between… or in other words, awakeners and mutant zombies are the same creatures… They are all zombies, just with different appearances… Awakeners, who look and feel almost identical to humans, are more popular with humans.”
“…”
“Ms. Jiang Ke’s ideas are of great scientific value to us… I have recorded everything Ms. Jiang Ke said just now. After this trip to Liuhe County, I will definitely help Ms. Jiang Ke settle down.”
Looking at the additional Jiang Ke, slaves, and the puppet-like Alice, Xu Lin, feeling that he had gained a lot, prepared to continue along the road and explore the central area of Liuhe County.
“Let’s continue along the road… Save as many people as possible tonight, and then meet up with other teams at Liuhe County Youth Square during the day…”
As he spoke, Xu Lin felt a little uneasy.
“After the zombies appeared, various broadcasts have been sent out. If everyone follows the broadcast instructions and stays at home, the casualties will be reduced… There shouldn’t be any accidents…”
…
In the warehouse of Liuhe County Super Academy, Cao Buwei, a young girl with a ponytail, looked at her fair and callous-free hands in confusion.
“This… is my hand???”
“Did I drink too much to remember anything…My hands don’t look like this…Also, I’m dead…”
After the end of the world, men and women have achieved true equality. Girls no longer enjoy any resources or privileges. The strong become stronger and the weak become weaker. All resources and treatment can only be won with one’s own hands.
Unlike some pretty girls who were timid about zombies in the early days of the apocalypse, attacked boys with heavy punches, and took the boys’ protection for granted without knowing the price, although she was not very good-looking, she was very brave among girls and even dared to fight zombies alone.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to accumulate enough advantages by devouring a large number of zombie crystal cores in the early days of the apocalypse, when the zombies had not yet evolved and mutated and were at their weakest… becoming a powerful first-level transcendent… and then snowballing to build his own team… Although in the eyes of some powerful people, his team is still just an ordinary cannon fodder group, but compared to those ordinary people who are frightened every day, he has lived a very good life. It would have been even better if he had not encountered a second-level beast and died on the spot due to an emergency.
Chapter 81: Not a Reborn Person, but a Traveler
After countless battles, my hands are full of scars and calluses. Those hands are the hands of veterans in the end times… But what happened to these hands now, which are so tender and thin, and look like they have never done any heavy work…
Looking at the clothes he was wearing and the strange yet familiar environment around him, Cao Buwei squinted his eyes, and some dusty memories gradually came back to him….
‘At the beginning of the apocalypse, in the chaos, before I realized what was happening, I hid in a warehouse, shivering, until the food and water ran out, and I dared to go out and fight the zombies to the death when I couldn’t stand it anymore…’
‘Some things will scare you terribly before you do them, but when you actually start doing them, you will feel that it is not a big deal… I found that zombies are not invincible… As long as you muster up your courage and don’t face too many zombies at the same time, you can easily kill lone zombies… I become stronger and stronger by hunting zombies and obtaining a large number of zombie crystal cores…’
“I was…reborn back to the beginning of the apocalypse?! Only this can explain the changes in my body and the perfectly replicated environment now!”
Before the end of the world, I had read a lot of online novels, and rebirth is one of the most common themes in apocalyptic novels…
After realizing that he was reborn, Cao Buwei did not dig his nails deep into his palms, nor did he vow to make up for any regrets. He just felt extreme ecstasy.
‘My advantage is my foresight… If I am reborn, I can rely on my information advantage to recruit and befriend those big figures who will rise in the future. Maybe I can become a big figure like the second-level extraordinary… or even have the chance to become the legendary third-level?! ‘
His extraordinary potential is only at the first level, but in the end times there are some rare opportunities that can enhance his extraordinary potential!
For example, the notorious and terrifying third-level zombie king Alice who destroyed several cities, no matter how powerful Alice will become in the future, it is still the early days of the apocalypse, that is to say, Alice is still just an ordinary and weak little zombie… and she is in the No. 1 Middle School of Liuhe County where she is now…
If I can seize the opportunity, hunt down Alice, and obtain the high-quality zombie crystal core, I am afraid that my potential will be directly upgraded to the second level! There are many opportunities similar to Alice, and these are all my unique advantages!
“In the future, zombies will dominate the world. Humans are not qualified to be zombie opponents. Humans’ only opponents are humans…”
“I don’t need to become stronger than those zombies, I just need to become stronger than the humans of my own species…”
‘In this life, I want to be a big shot!’
With many thoughts in his mind, Cao Buwei looked left and right in the warehouse, trying to find the fire axe he had used last time, but he couldn’t find it.
“Huh? Huh… weird… it should be here…”
“The fire axe that should have appeared is gone. Looking closely, the warehouse here seems familiar but also a little strange… Isn’t this the No. 1 Middle School in Liuhe County?”
After searching left and right and finally finding a baseball bat, Cao Buwei, with many doubts in his mind, opened the door of the warehouse a crack and quietly observed outside.
After confirming that there were only one or two lone zombies, Cao Buwei took a deep breath, clenched the baseball bat in his hand, and put aside all distracting thoughts, wanting to rush forward quickly and take care of them.
But at this moment, a figure descended from the sky and crushed the two zombies into small biscuits, and then skillfully recovered the zombie crystal cores of the two zombies…
“???”
She was 1.6 meters tall, with light green eyes, cross-shaped pupils, a beautiful face, shoulder-length light green hair, and small braids on both sides of her hair that passed over her long ears. She was wearing an exquisite white dress and a black corset, and she exuded an air of elegance and lightness…
Looking at the beautiful blood elf Bajiu, Cao Buwei was stunned.
What’s going on? What’s going on?
Before my rebirth, I didn’t encounter this beautiful lady last time…
Is it because the time doesn’t match? At this time in the previous life, I was still shivering in the warehouse…
In this life, because he was reborn, he was braver than in the previous life and came out earlier, so the plot line that intersected with this great beauty came into being.
“No, this still doesn’t make sense… This beautiful lady killed the zombies so skillfully… And the way she appeared was like she jumped down from the roof…”
“I had already had some initial contact with the extraordinary at the beginning of the apocalypse. Such a brilliant person, and we went to the same school. Even if I hadn’t seen him in my previous life, I should have heard of him…”
“Who is she… And the number of zombies outside doesn’t match up… Am I really reborn…”
The many messy thoughts that appeared in his mind made Cao Buwei feel more and more confused.
“I am Bajiu, a teacher in the Seed Class of the Supernormal Academy in Chongming Town. My classmate, are you okay?”
One of the countless blood clones of the blood elf Yajiu, the small version of the blood clan’s true ancestor Csusu, the blood clone Yajiu said with a smile.
The purpose of this blood clone is to release the students of the Extraordinary Academy, and then transform them into combat power so that they can better engage in the battle against the zombies.
“My name is Cao Buwei, I’m fine… Sister, what is the name of the place I’m in now?”
While being concerned about the Extraordinary Academy mentioned by Yajiu, Cao Buwei felt more and more that something was wrong when he looked at some buildings with the words “Extraordinary Academy” written on them not far away, and he had some bad guesses in his mind.
“Hmm? This is Liuhe County Supernormal Academy…”
Yajiu blinked and said that the girl in front of him named Cao Buwei was wearing the school uniform of the Extraordinary Academy, so she was most likely from the Extraordinary Academy.
Now I don’t know where this place is…Did I lose my memory?
Because of great emotional stimulation, things like temporary amnesia do happen…
“Super, Super Academy??? Huh, huh???”
After confirming his guess from Yajiu, Cao Buwei was shocked on the spot.
In my previous life, I was in the No. 1 Middle School in Liuhe County, and I had never heard of the Extraordinary Academy… But now I appeared in a place called the Extraordinary Academy…
“Could it be that I was not reborn, but traveled to a parallel world?”
Chapter 82: What a Big Turtle
By asking more questions, Cao Buwei, who was becoming more and more confused, learned a lot from the blood elf Bajiu.
“Sure enough, my initial thinking was wrong. I was not reborn, but traveled through time. This is a parallel world that is similar to my original world, but different. No wonder there are so many details that seem problematic…”
‘At the point where the zombie crisis originated in Liuhe County, the two worlds are the same, and some characters are also the same… For example, the terrifying zombie king Alice…’
‘The difference lies in the scope. In my original world, under the guidance of the only extraordinary race, the blood race, the zombie crisis affects the entire world… Whether it is humans, animals or plants, they are all transformed into zombies… Starting from zombies, a large number of zombies have evolved into countless zombie branches through evolution and mutation… Thermal weapons are becoming increasingly powerless, and nuclear weapons can only make zombies more powerful…’
“It is a desperate world dominated by zombies and dominated by biological evolution. Humans can only survive in remote areas… No, perhaps surviving is not enough to describe the situation of humans… The reason why humans can survive in the apocalyptic world is simply because zombies do not want to exterminate humans… The increase in the number of zombies depends entirely on humans as the basic race, so zombies will let humans go…”
‘This parallel world is at the other extreme… The waters here are particularly deep. There were already high-level extraordinary people before the zombie crisis. Even because of the revival of spiritual energy, extraordinary people began to become popular. Therefore, the zombie king Alice, who should have been very weak at the beginning of the apocalypse, was able to transform an extraordinary teacher into a zombie and start a killing spree… Therefore, as soon as the zombie crisis began, it was stopped by a lord-level powerful woman, Grandma Qianye. A crisis that could destroy an entire technological civilization was so easily confined to the small Liuhe County… That’s why the powerful man Yajiu-senpai, who did not exist in another world, appeared…’
‘Then what I have to do next is very simple…’
After all, he was a veteran who had survived in the apocalyptic world for decades. After figuring out the general situation of this world and his current situation, Cao Buwei quickly made calculations in his mind.
