Chapter 01 Strange Applications

THE WEATHER AT NOON in June is so hot that it makes people feel uneasy.

Clan was carrying his bag and running wildly on the country road in the hot sun at noon.

Looking at his tense face , it seemed as if a giant flood monster was chasing him from behind.

This is actually a village area outside the suburbs of the provincial capital. Looking up, you can already see the tall buildings in the suburbs of the provincial capital in the distance . A hundred meters away from the country road is a national highway with a lot of traffic and cars whizzing past.

It was a hot day and he was running all the way. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat, but Cran didn't bother to wipe them off.

Uncle, grandpa, ancestor...can you please be kind and stop following me, OK?

Although he was panting, Cran still turned his head and finished the sentence intermittently, with a pleading look on his face. He had already used up all his strength after running so fast, and Cran felt that he could hardly move even a finger.

The mysterious disorder of time and space made Cran's mind confused and he was still not able to recover.

There was a dull pain in the head, which was throbbing and uncomfortable.

As if he had thought of something, cold sweat kept oozing out of Clan's forehead, as if it was sprinkled with a layer of crystal clear water beans, and his eyes revealed a fear that penetrated deep into his bones.

When the vehicles whizzing on the highway came into focus, Cran's expression relaxed.

Behind Cran was a middle-aged man wearing a white shirt, trousers, and a pair of big-toed leather shoes. He ran behind Cran with no expression on his face.

Even in his eyes, you can't see a trace of expression, the emptiness makes people shudder at the sight.

Clan looked like he had just been pulled out of the water , with not a dry inch on his body. However, the middle-aged man who was chasing him from behind was mysteriously free of even a drop of sweat, as if he was not running on a hot day but taking a walk in the early morning.

If Crane hadn't seen him running after him, he would have almost believed that he was just taking a walk.

No, he should not be used;

This is why Clan was so frightened. The middle-aged man looked ordinary, even so common that you couldn't find him in a crowd. But in fact, who would have thought that he was actually a zombie?

Zombie, a scary word, a monster that only exists in novels and movies, but not long ago, it appeared in front of Clan and almost scared him to death.

It's incredible to say, but when Clan returned to the provincial capital from his hometown, he couldn't sleep because he couldn't afford the respect on the bedding in the long-distance bus. Out of boredom, he downloaded a game from the built-in app store on his mobile phone . Who would have thought that when he ran the game, he was teleported to the end of the world and became the owner of a biochemical factory?

At that time, Clan was absolutely confused and his mind was blank.

After finally calming himself down, Cran discovered that the biochemical factory he was in was actually a product exhibition hall.

In the product exhibition hall, what catches the eye are columns made of glass.

There were dozens of glass cylinders, each with a diameter of more than three meters and a height of ten meters. Among these glass cylinders, only one was filled with products, while the others were empty.

At first, Clan didn't take it seriously, but when he saw the product inside the only glass cylinder, a creepy feeling of fear came over him, and Clan's face turned pale.

A rotten face with criss-crossed blackened skin cracks and ink-like liquid oozing out.

In the slightly opened mouth, the exposed teeth were yellow and the red- black gums were full of blisters. With just one glance, Clan imagined that the mouth was likely full of maggots.

The sparse hair, almost all gone, hung loosely on his head.

A white shirt was tattered, stained grey, and covered in dried blood.

Its hands were vertical , with two fingers missing. Its nails were long and sharp, black and covered with mud. Its eyeballs had lost their luster and were dark, like the eyes of a dead goldfish.

Influenced by TV and movies, Crane confirmed the other person's identity at a glance.

The product inside this glass cylinder turned out to be a zombie.

Boom boom boom...

A sudden burst of crashing sounds like a torrential rain suddenly rang out.

Clan appeared , the originally dead zombie suddenly moved, waving its claws and fangs on the glass cylinder. Looking at its ferocious face, it seemed that it was about to smash the glass cylinder.

The zombies crashed into the glass cylinder, leaving black liquid on it, making them look even more terrifyingly hideous.

If it breaks out...

You can imagine Clan’s fear at that time. The zombies in the movie were all viruses. As long as you were hurt, it meant being infected, which was more terrifying than death.

had a blank mind and looked confused . He didn't even know how he got back to the bus.

The familiar yet disgusting smell in the long-distance bus made me realize that everything I had experienced before was just a dream.

However......

Things were so mysterious. Clan found that there was a middle-aged man next to his bed. He had a numb look without any expression, and his eyes were so empty that not a trace of color could be seen.

He gives people the feeling that he is a walking corpse.

The key point is that when Cran looked at him, the information that appeared on the middle-aged man scared Cran so much that his eyes almost popped out .

Zombie Follower A product of a first-level biochemical factory, an ordinary zombie. As a factory owner, how can you not have a follower around you? As a benefit, the zombie automatically loads the disguise system, and isolates the virus when traveling through time and space. It has old-fashioned execution and 100% loyalty.

This line of words appeared above the head of this middle-aged man.

It was very secretive. Clan could guarantee that only the middle-aged man could see the instructions above his head, because the other people in the bus did not react at all. They occasionally glanced at it and then immediately lowered their heads to play with their mobile phones.

Clan felt terrible. This guy was not a middle-aged man, but a real zombie.

This is a zombie. Once it carries the virus and hurts someone , the whole world will be over.

The instructions say that the virus has been isolated, but who knows if it’s true or not?

An ordinary virus would be fine, but this is a zombie virus that can be spread through the air. Except for a very small number of people with super strong antibodies, the rest will survive, and the rest will become zombies, covering the entire city and the entire world.

The cruel scene in the movie will be repeated in the real world.

By then, Clan himself will be the sinner of mankind and will not be able to escape the blame unless he dies.

At that time, Clan was so frightened that his soul was about to fly out of his body. He was shaking and the fear in his eyes was obvious. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

ah......

The scream of terror attracted the attention of all the passengers on the long-distance bus. They stared at Clan in confusion, wondering what was wrong with this young man and why he was screaming like a ghost?

A driver who was taking a break had an angry look on his face. He had just fallen asleep when he was woken up.

Clan didn't care what other people thought. He jumped up from the bed, grabbed his backpack, and rushed to the car door. Before he even reached the door, he was already yelling, Stop, stop...

Seeing the ferocious look on Clan's face, the angry driver swallowed back his original reprimand.

The long-distance bus was traveling on the highway at this time.

Clan couldn't care less about all these. Just imagine how it would feel if you were in the same carriage with a zombie . In terror, the first thing you would think of is to escape.

Logically, it is unlikely that the car will stop to let passengers get off on the highway.

The middle-aged man disguised as a zombie walked towards Clan at this time, his eyes still empty and without a trace of emotion.

Crane got anxious and kicked the door Stop the car!

Facing the madman, the driver could only turn on the turn signal, stop in the emergency lane, and open the car door. This is a highway, and God knows what kind of extreme behavior this madman will do. One mistake could result in the car being destroyed and people being killed.

Seeing the car door open, Cran rushed down.

On the highway, Cran was running desperately in the emergency lane . When he looked back, he was so scared that he staggered and almost fell.

The zombie uncle actually got out of the car as well. When he saw Clan running, he also started running after him, chasing after Clan relentlessly.

Grass!

At this moment, Clan felt as if a hundred thousand horses were running wildly.

He first ran on the emergency lane of the highway, then climbed over the guardrail of the highway and appeared in a panic on the country road next to it. The middle-aged man disguised as a zombie followed him closely.

Clan ran quite fast, but his endurance was far behind the zombies, and he couldn't get rid of them at all.

After running all the way, there was the scene of Clan begging at the beginning.

Chapter 02 Pickpocket

FACED WITH CLAN'S PLEADING, the middle-aged zombie uncle remained unmoved. He stopped when Clan stopped and moved when Clan moved.

alright, you win.

Cran didn't even have the strength to move a finger; exhaustion overcame terror.

Putting aside the fear in his heart, Cran's whole body softened and he sat down on the grass beside the country road.

If you want to die, then die.

Cran lay down on the grass, panting. Even if he was going to die, he had to take a break. If he kept running, he would die of exhaustion.

The zombie uncle approached Clan and stood in front of Clan in a very rigid manner, motionless, like a statue.

Compared to the panting sound of Clan's broken drumbox , the zombie uncle didn't even take a breath;

Panting, Cran took the opportunity to make sense of what had happened.

Apparently, he was too sensitive before and was frightened by the horror. Clan looked up at the instructions on the zombie uncle's head again, and after calming down, he understood the contents of the instructions very well.

Follower is the role of the zombie uncle.

Since it is a follower , a subordinate assigned to him by the zombie factory, a half bodyguard, it will not attack him, but will only follow him mechanically.

Besides, the zombie uncle no longer has the virus and has been isolated long ago.

Another explanation is that the literal meaning is easy to understand. The disguiser's appearance is automatically added. It should be this so-called disguiser's appearance that makes the hideous and terrifying zombie turn into the middle-aged uncle we see today.

Otherwise, a zombie appeared in the modern world. What terrible news would that be? The whole world would be shocked. With the powerful ability of the government, it would be able to dig itself out in a matter of minutes.

Clan let out a sigh. He knew it was his follower, so what?

Thinking that it was actually a zombie, Clan felt hard to accept. Deep down, he had not yet accepted this reality.

...

sit down.

On the country road, Cran issued instructions.

The zombie uncle who had been standing in front of Clan with indifference and no expression, sat down without hesitation after receiving Clan's order, completely ignoring the mud and dust on the path.

stand up!

Clan stared at the zombie uncle without blinking and gave orders again.

Without hesitation, the zombie uncle stood up and stood straight in front of Clan.

Gradually, Cran's eyes lit up.

A follower who can follow orders without hesitation is more loyal and has stronger execution ability than a bodyguard. If it were a human bodyguard , the other party would definitely not sit down in the dust when Clan just ordered him to sit down, and might even hesitate to follow Clan 's order.

This kind of execution is indeed as old-fashioned as described.

One hundred percent loyal?

For now, Crane can only try to believe it.

When fear disappears, what remains is curiosity.

Facing the standing zombie uncle, Cran walked around him a few times, observing him with curiosity. From the outside, there was no difference between the zombie uncle and the middle-aged human uncle. In terms of appearance, you could not see any flaws.

Zombies are emotionless monsters. After using the disguise system, they can only disguise their appearance but not their expressions.

It continues the emptiness of zombies, making the zombie uncle more like a soulless walking corpse.

After studying for a while, Cran discovered that this zombie uncle still inherited the zombies' brainlessness.

It can execute simple instructions, but it is confused by more complex ones, as if it is talking to a deaf person.

If placed in a crowd, there would be no problem with the zombie uncle's appearance, but one could still tell he was different at a glance, just like a mentally retarded child in a crowd, absolutely conspicuous.

IQ is a fatal flaw!

Crane sighed, but had to accept the fact that he had a zombie follower.

...

Knowing that the zombie uncle was no longer a threat to him, Clan finally stopped running wildly in fear.

Walking slowly on the country road, some local villagers would pass by from time to time. As for the young man with a backpack, the villagers just glanced at him and paid no more attention .

The zombie uncle walked with a cold and stern face, but he didn't attract attention.

After walking for a while in fear, Clan was completely relieved. The function of the pretender system would not fail no matter what the situation was unless he gave the order to cancel it.

In the eyes of outsiders, all they see is a middle-aged man with some brain problems.

Clan shook his head. If he expected a zombie to be as agile as a normal person, the survivors in the apocalypse would have been dead long ago, and human extinction would be a matter of time.

He has almost no IQ and is a complete burden.

Cran graduated from University with a major in civil engineering, but after graduation, he found a job as a supervisor in a decoration company with a monthly salary of just over 3,000 yuan, which is only considered a general worker's salary in coastal cities. Due to poor family conditions and the fact that he was new to the society, Cran could only endure the low salary.

It takes almost a year to do this.

Seeing that all of his college classmates had used their connections to get into certain departments or companies, Clan became extremely annoyed. So he asked for a week's leave from the company and returned to his hometown, hoping to get away from the bustling city and calm himself down.

Who would have thought that such a mysterious thing would happen when returning to the provincial capital from my hometown?

I don't know if this guy wants to eat.

This is where Kelan is struggling. With his limited salary, he has to send 20 yuan to his parents every month, and the remaining 1,000 yuan is barely enough for food, drink and rent.

Now there is one more... zombie, which is a disaster for Clan's pitiful salary.

As for Clan's little nest, it's suitable for him to live alone , but if there is another person living there, it will definitely be crowded.

Crowded together with a zombie, even though it now looks like a human, Cran still couldn't accept it. If they were to squeeze together in such a small single room, Cran was sure that he would not be able to sleep.

Let's take it one step at a time.

Clan smiled bitterly. He couldn't just throw it on the street. If the pretender system failed, the consequences would be difficult to estimate.

From the country road, we arrived at the national highway at the entrance of the village. This place is in the suburbs of the provincial capital and there are buses to the city.

...

On the bus to the suburbs, Cran sat by the window.

Even though he accepted the existence of this zombie uncle, Clan still had a creepy feeling when it sat next to him, and was terrified.

Decoration companies are rarely found in urban areas. They will move to wherever the city extends.

The small decoration company where Clan worked was no exception. Unlike large-scale decoration companies, small decoration companies could set up branches or outlets at will. This type of small company directly moved its headquarters here.

There were a lot of people on the bus and it quickly became full.

There is no way. This bus passes through popular areas, so there will be more people riding on it.

It’s really messy.

Clan's eyes were on a young man next to him.

This young man was very ordinary, nothing unusual. But Cran still saw him holding a blade in one hand and a pair of pliers in the other , and in just three or five seconds, he cut open a girl's shoulder bag and took out the wallet inside.

There were already many people on the bus, and the shaking caused by the occasional braking brought inconvenience to the other party.

Pickpockets are rarely seen in the city, but they are still active on buses outside the suburbs. The weak police force in the suburbs makes it easier for them to act.

He watched as the other party took advantage of the bus brakes and the crowds to get three tickets in just a few minutes. His technique was sophisticated and he remained calm after getting the tickets.

The zombie uncle sat upright in the chair, out of tune with the others.

Standing like a pine tree, sitting like a bell, this is probably the best description of the zombie uncle.

suddenly......

The zombie uncle stood up, walked up to the young pickpocket, and reached out with lightning speed, catching the young pickpocket's hand as he was about to use a tweezer to take out a small wallet.

The thinking of zombies is completely linear.

Just like in the movies, when they spot food they will pounce on it without hesitation, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire in between.

With this kind of linear thinking, the zombie uncle's movements were not subtle at all, and the movements were so big that they grabbed the opponent's hand like an iron spear . The difference between zombies and humans lies in the use of strength, which can be done 100%.

Ordinary people can only use 60% of their strength. Trained people, such as weightlifters and boxers, can use 80%, which is already the limit.

Ouch!

The 100% force and the pain like a broken bone made the pickpocket scream in pain.

With all this commotion going on and seeing the tools in the pickpocket's hands, how could the people on the bus not understand?

pickpocket?

This word popped up in everyone's mind.

Some of those who were quick to react hurriedly searched their pockets and backpacks.

In China, people would just ignore what is none of their business. But now it is different. If someone stands up, this attitude can instantly turn into a favorable attitude.

Several enthusiastic young college students stared at the pickpocket.

My purse.

My cell phone.

Several owners of lost items cried out.

In just a moment, everyone on the bus was filled with indignation.

open.

The pickpocket was young but experienced. He pulled out a dagger from his waist with his other hand, and his eyes were fierce. If he lost control, the people in the car might beat him half to death and send him to the police station. If he wanted to avoid this consequence, he had to scare them.

The pickpocket with a fierce look in his eyes did scare quite a few people, causing them to shrink back subconsciously .

However, the zombie uncle did not move at all, his face had no expression, and his two eyes stared at the pickpocket with emptiness.

The chilling atmosphere made the pickpocket feel uneasy.

Scold the guy next door, I told you not to mind your own business.

Seeing that the deterrent effect was unexpected, and under the creepy aura of the zombie uncle, the pickpocket suddenly lost control of his emotions and stabbed out fiercely with the dagger in his hand.

This stab was more of a test. A normal person would definitely dodge or step back, allowing him to escape.

puff!

The tentative dagger stabbed into the zombie uncle's heart all the way to the handle .

The pickpocket was probably an ordinary person, but the zombie uncle was not a human at all. In the zombie's thinking dictionary, there was no word dodge, let alone what fear was.

Chapter 03 Immortality

AH......

Murder.

The people on the bus who witnessed this scene were stunned at first, and then a few timid girls screamed hysterically, and the screams made their eardrums hurt.

secretly directing the zombie uncle, was confused .

even more confusing is this young pickpocket.

No... I didn't mean to do that... I didn't mean to kill anyone... I just wanted to scare him, but he didn't dodge.

Swish, the pickpocket's face turned pale, he trembled with fear and spoke incoherently.

Pickpocketing and murder are two completely different crimes. The former would only take three to four years at most, but the latter...and it happened on this bus, with the impact it caused, execution is almost a foregone conclusion.

The pickpocket felt his legs go weak and he almost fell to the ground.

If possible, he would rather never work in this industry again in his life, but find a serious job, work hard , and then get married and have children in a stable manner.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs now.

Looking at the dagger that was directly embedded in the heart, it was an immediate fatal wound.

Due to the large crowds in the previous riot, the driver couldn't tell what was going on. However, the screaming and the shouting of murder made the driver's heart tremble, and he subconsciously slammed on the brakes.

The car braked suddenly, and the unprepared people fell to the ground.

The zombie uncle's balance was worse than that of humans, and he fell directly to the floor of the car, but his hand was still tightly grasping the pickpocket's hand, pulling him down.

Clan's mind was a little blank. He also didn't expect this result. The zombie uncle had some relationship with him. At other times, he would just ignore him, but now that he
