No fighting! Ill have whoever fights on a plate if they do
-Mo Ke
Upon confirming that the zombie apocalypse was indeed upon us, our first thought was to scavenge so food in the inn. However, we entered the restaurant only to find a ss of overturned plates, vegetables and furniture.
Nearly twenty zombies were lumbering around the restaurant mindlessly. Of them, there were a mix of both genders, mostly tourists, though so were dressed in the typical white garb of a chef or waiter.
Judging by the ti all this happened, it should have been lunch ti right as the zombies started appearing. This level of chaos was only to be expected. A number of the zombies had bite marks on them as well. Most likely, they were zombified after death.
Not too long ago, the system had given out my first zombie-related mission. Its reward was a na slot for the Book of Oaths. Using the na slot on one of the girls would allow them to access part of my system as well, turning them into a veritable magical girl.
Sis, look after Jiaojiao for . Lixiang, just stay here and be quiet. Ill go handle these zombies. Then without waiting for Lixiang to even agree, I gripped down on Icy Inferno and charged into the restaurant.
Even though I might not have my mories, according to Sister Bitong who found afterwards, I was as strong as the strongest superhuman! And even without actual combat experience, I had more than faced my fair share of monsters in those VR gas. If that counted, I was more than a seasoned veteran.
My feet never once slowing down, I smoothly unsheathed Icy Inferno, lopping off a zombies head
While Icy Inferno might still be in its sealed state, that didnt change the fact that it was an epic-grade weapon with a sharpness to match. Even steel was like butter before my Icy Inferno!
To begin with, my superhuman abilities made faster and stronger than a normal human. With Uncle Yuexiongs Martial Sage Arts of Primordial Chaos, my speed was further raised to a new level by my incorporation of spiritual energy.
Ding! System mission: complete. Reward: na slot for the Book of Oaths.
In just the span of a couple minutes, over a dozen zombies were all dead to my sword!
However, now wasnt the ti for to check my rewards. After taking care of the zombies, I promptly returned to the area where the girls were hiding.
Its all clear now. Co out.
Of that I was certain. The zombies weakness was their heads. Unless their heads were destroyed, they would always be a threat, even if their mouths were the only part whole
Uwah big brother that was so scary Jiaojiao stepped out from Bitongs shadow and leapt into my arms with tears in her eyes.
There, there. Its alright now. I gently hugged the little girl, her fragrant scent washing over in an instant, sowhat blocking out the nauseating sll of zombie blood on .
Naturally, that was just an innocent hug. Absolutely innocent hug
According to what we knew so far, this zombie outbreak was caused by so genetic serum, and it was said to be extrely popular as well. In other words, the city was probably crawling with these zombies right now. And based on what we saw in our room, this zombification wasnt instant and could lay dormant, undetected.
While I was comforting Jiaojiao, Bitong and Lixiang took the opportunity to co over, slightly shaken by the idea of real combat. Even though everyone here had faced a zombie apocalypse in the VR world, actually facing it in real life was different. There was no revive button here.
Lets get sothing to eat for now. We can also scavenge so food at the sa ti. Sword still in hand, I held Jiaojiaos shivering hand tightly then led everyone towards the kitchen.
With every step we took, Jiaojiao would press in tight, feet trembling and eyes glued to every zombie corpse we passed by, as if afraid one of them might just suddenly jump up and bite her.
Even now, the girl was still terrified. I could only grip her hands tighter to reassure her quickly. Dont be scared. This area is safe now. Everything is going to be fine with your big brother here.
By now, we had reached the door of the kitchen, and could peer clearly into the insides.
There were no zombies at all. The room itself seed clean even.
In all likelihood, the kitchen staff had rushed out when they heard the commotion in the restaurant Then things went to hell.
Other than the Gene Enhancent Serum, the rest of the food should be safe. I said as I picked up a nearby plate of pancakes and gave them a sniff. Because of the ti that had passed, there wasnt that freshly fried scent as one would expect.
Ke! Maybe we shouldnt eat them yet, how about testing them first? Bitong quickly stepped in when she saw put the plate up to my nose. Worried, she activated her electronic implant and scanned the plate itself.
The results were inconclusive
To begin with, the zombie virus was probably magical in nature, else the electronic implants on everyone else would have picked it up already, and the whole outbreak could have been prevented.
Lixiang seed to agree as well.
Hmph, as if so fancy gadget could ever hope to pierce the veil of the arcane so easily Ever ready to throw Bitong under the bus, she swiftly grabbed at this opportunity to make fun of Bitongs attempts.
Well then. Since youre so sort of magical girl, how about you tell us how to check the food?
A thod I Of course I have one. Unwilling to back down in front of her rival, she finally said that after rubbing her neck a little. Yet that bravado did not last long. Its just I still have a seal placed on
So you cant then? Bitong sneered.
Hmph! Who says I cant do it? Livid and face completely red, she shot back. Just not right now. In the future Once I get my seal unlocked, I will show you whats what!
No need for that, we can do it now.
All right. Thats enough out of you two! No more fighting, you hear ? I quickly stepped in when I saw that their argunt was only growing more heated by the second.
Because of our situation, my words were a little harsher than usual. Even I was a little surprised and apprehensive about what I just did. I wasnt afraid of Lixiang or anything, I was just scared that Bitong might just lose her temper
Thankfully, the two girls stopped arguing when they saw the look on my face.
Sighwhy cant they just be a little more united? I dont care if they argue, but wont they look at the situation first? The world is ending, for crying out loud!
