A World Turned Zombie...?

Miaomiao Kindergarten.

"Young man, you lack martial ethics."

After a moment of silence, the Old Zombie, who was sitting behind the table and whose flesh was almost all gone, slowly picked up the copy of "The Plum in the Golden Vase" from the table and put it in the drawer.

"You see through it but don't say anything. Don't you feel ashamed to bully a 138-year-old comrade like me?"

"... Fuzi?"

Looking at the skeletal Zombie in front of him, Young Feather seemed to still be in shock from the previous contrast.

"Ah, just a little bit of empty fame, not worth mentioning."

The Fuzi looked deeply moved.

"Please make yourself at home. You are all guests who have come from afar. I apologize that I cannot rise to greet you right now."

"You seem to know a lot of things."

Squinting slightly, ignoring the dust on the chair, Bai Zhi sat down directly at the table.

"I saw a Zombie before, the one who liked to Cola, do you recognize him?"

"Xiao Hai, right? He's the only one who likes to Cola."

The Fuzi sighed with a hint of helplessness.

"How many times have I told him? Cola isn't Gift of Nature, but he's incorrigible and not very bright. What's the difference between him and humans liking Honey and then thanking Gift of Nature? Bees would cry."

So you know about humans?

Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Of course, after all, I was human before."

The Fuzi revealed an unusually sinister smile.

"Ask whatever you want to know."

What was the world like before?

Before Bai Zhi could speak, Young Feather quickly asked first.

"Also, why did this place become like this?"

"What kind of world... I think it's just a very common world, common that it's unremarkable."

Seemingly lost in distant memories, the Fuzi slowly began to speak after a long period of contemplation.

"It was truly a common world, common that when disaster struck, we didn't even have time to react. Initially, no one cared about the disaster; it was just a fire, a drought, the extinction of a species, the disappearance of a city... until this disaster became relevant to each and every one of us."

"Is the sun extremely old?"

Young Feather, with a slightly strange expression, replied.

"No, it's disappeared..."

The Fuzi sighed.

"After the total solar eclipse, the sun never reappeared, and not only the sun, but also the moon and stars. It was as if a black cloth had been shrouded the planets, isolating us from the world."

"But there is light in the sky now."

OriginDeficit turned his head and glanced out the window.

"Yes, but did you see the sun in the Tian Kong?"

He also turned his head to look out the window, Fuzi spoke.

"Although we never figured out where the light source came from, it was definitely not sunlight."

"And then what?"

Bai Zhi reached out and tapped the table.

"Are Anomaly starting to appear all over the world?"

"Anomaly? No, it's a virus."

Shifting his gaze back to himself, the Fuzi slowly began to speak.

"When we were gripped by panic, an even greater disaster followed: a terrifying, Mutation Virus broke out globally at the same time, infecting everyone..."

"You turned into Zombie after being infected?"

OriginDeficit chimed in with a comment.

"Then the Zombie Crisis broke out, and your world was plunged into a state of destruction?"

"No, everyone has turned into Zombie."

The Fuzi sighed.

"We were forcibly altered as a species, becoming another kind of creature, the so-called Zombie, but retaining all the memories of being human. However, as time goes by, we are gradually and subtly influenced, and this transformation process is quite rapid, taking at most a week... This is something more terrifying than death."

"Everyone's turned into Zombie... There aren't any Player in your world?"

Bai Zhi frowned slightly.

"Player... you mean Awakened One, right? Yes, there are."

The Fuzi nodded, a wry smile appearing on his face.

"Awakened One can reverse the Zombie process, transforming themselves back into humans. But you must understand, if a few normal people suddenly appear among a group of Inhuman Existence, those normal people will definitely be seen as Inhuman Existence. How do you think we 'normal' people would treat these 'Inhuman Existence' who are different from us?"

"Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots."

Ink-Stained Crystal spoke coldly.

"So you yourselves killed all the Player who could have saved your world, right?"

"Perhaps. There shouldn't be any Player left in our world now... or perhaps there's only one left, if she's still alive."

The Fuzi shook his head almost imperceptibly.

"Then what are you?"

Bai Zhi stared directly at the Fuzi in front of him.

"So, shouldn't all Zombie humans be like that Xiao Hai?"

"Me? I started as a human, then became Zombie, then Awakened One, what you call Player... and finally became Zombie again. m•hetushu•com•com"

The Fuzi gave a very unpleasant smile.

"Judging from your previous questions, you must be Player from other worlds, right? Did you come here to complete Mandatory Quest from the system?"

"No, it's Large-scale Campaign Quest. Your world has invaded our world..."

Bai Zhi reached up and touched his chin, looking thoughtful.

"To be honest, your world is quite Special. It hasn't completely perished even at this point; instead, it has been reborn from the original foundation... According to you, there's only one Player left in your entire world. Well then, congratulations, this last Player should still be alive and has orchestrated this invasion."

"Really? She's really persistent; she could have just let it go..."

After a moment of astonishment, the Fuzi sighed heavily and looked up at the four people in front of him.

"I know about the Large-scale Campaign Quest. Your goal is to solve the problem here, right? Otherwise, the Zombie virus that once destroyed our entire world will reach your world..."

"It's not a solution, it's an exploration. You overestimate us."

Interrupting the other person's words, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I personally sympathize with what has happened to your world, but it's beyond saving. Perhaps there's still hope, but that's not something a few of us can do. What do you think?"

"... Perhaps."

After a long silence, the Fuzi sighed softly.

"After all, in a sense, this world is truly beyond saving. How many beings like me still retain human consciousness? A civilization without people is nothing..."
