Only one month remained before all the zombies would complete their evolution!

Shen Jin did not know why the Heavenly Net had reached this conclusion.

As he understood it, official statements had never been this absolute.

Even when they were completely certain, they would still claim a 99% success rate.

What if, what if that one-in-ten-thousand chance actually happened?

Couldn't a few zombies be buried in the dirt, waiting to die?

Or stuck somewhere, unable to move or absorb sunlight?

How would they evolve, then?

Yet the Heavenly Net had stated with such certainty that, one month later, 100% of the zombies would have completed their first round of evolution.

Shen Jin did not think the authorities were being stupid.

There had to be a basis for it!

The Heavenly Net must have discovered information ordinary people did not know.

"So! This month will be the easiest month we'll ever have on our path to clearing out the zombies. Seize this opportunity! Use this month to take a large stretch of territory and build our base in Q City. Understood?"

"Understood!"

Early that morning, forty Superhumans shouted together, waking some survivors who had nothing to do.

"Damn, we're holding pep rallies even in the apocalypse?"

"Fuck, that reminds me of when I got tricked into a pyramid scheme. That's how they shouted me awake every morning."

"Ah, if only I could go up there and shout with them someday. Living without power or dignity is so fucking miserable!"

At that, the survivors who had gotten up early fell silent.

Yes, everyone wanted control over their own destiny. Leaving their life and death in the hands of those in power felt like someone had them by their weakest point. Every minute and second they lived, they felt they were not free.
