"Here we go!"
Looking at the increasingly chaotic crowd outside the window, Lin Huai felt no emotion whatsoever.
He knew very well that his enemy was the Demon Lord Organization.
These zombies and Mutant Beast are no match for Lin Huai now; he can wipe them out with a wave of his hand.
As for saving humanity? Humanity cannot be saved. Humanity can only gradually evolve and sublimate itself as a new era begins.
From the moment the Demon Lord Virus broke out, humanity had no way out; there was no third path to choose between elimination and transcendence.
After the apocalypse, there were four phases in total. The first phase lasted only four months, which was also the four months when humanity was most confused, chaotic, and in a state of collapse.
Four months later, the mutants awakened their abilities, marking the beginning of a new era for humanity.
The second phase lasted for ten years, during which humans Combat Combat, Mutant Beast, and infighting among themselves.
This stage marks the gradual adaptation of humanity to the apocalypse and a period of major reshuffling of power factions.
After the second stage, humanity was reduced to less than one in ten thousand, but those who remained were all elites.
The first and second phases, spanning ten and a half years, are collectively known as the Qiusheng Era.
The third era, the era of the Awakened, has officially begun.
At this point, the world was divided into three major camps: the human camp, which was still embroiled in Civil War; the zombie camp, which had evolved self-awareness; and the Mutant Beast camp, which was gradually developing Wisdom.
Some also refer to this period as the Purification Era.
By this time, the Demon Lord Virus had been completely eradicated by the Cradle of Life Project.
It is precisely because of the Cradle of Life Project that this planet, from its atmosphere to its oceans, from viruses and microorganisms to its soil, has been completely Purification.
The atmosphere is cleaner, with higher oxygen content, purer water, and more fertile soil. Furthermore, the atmosphere, water, and soil Central City contain a special kind of energy.
People call it Genki.
Plants also begin to mutate during this stage.
Plants have a longer growth cycle, but the fruits they produce are larger, more nutritious, and equally full of Genki.
Take corn, for example. After the Purification era, the stalks grew to five meters tall, and the corn kernels were the size of watermelons. When ordinary people ate it, they could not only fill their stomachs but also strengthen their bodies.
Before the Purification Era, the sky rained poisonous black cesium, polluting most water sources and making it impossible for any crops to grow in the soil.
In other words, before the Purification Era, humanity was Limit short of resources and had to constantly face zombies and Mutant Beast that were constantly evolving and getting stronger.
Even among the Awakened, countless people died of hunger and thirst.
Over the past ten years,
After the Purification Era, the fourth stage, the Myth Era, began.
Of course, some people refer to the period after the Purification Era as the Myth Era.
At this point, the strongest individuals among the Human Clan, zombie, Mutant Beast races all possessed the power to fly Earth Escape.
Before Lin Huai's Revive, some powerful individuals already possessed the ability to break free from the Gravity of planets and traverse the cosmos.
They are no different from the gods in the Myth and Legend.
Lin Huai locked the door, took out a Computer from his Personal Space, connected it to the dormitory's internet, and began checking online messages.
The network is still working fine, but the internet is in complete chaos.
"Is there anyone who can save me? Where are the inspectors? Where did they go?!" Lin Huai randomly clicked into a live stream on a video platform.
In the video, a streamer named " Chizui Zaixing " is running down a corridor, his fleshy body Keep Running as he goes.
Behind him were three or five zombies with hideous faces.
Zombies aren't fast; they're only slightly faster than a normal human walking.
Even so, the streamer couldn't shake off the zombies. He was just too fat; running was like shuffling, and he was panting heavily, covered in sweat, and getting slower and slower.
Judging by this momentum, he'll probably become a zombie's meal in a few minutes.
The live stream chat was filled with comments, some expressing concern, some gloating, and many offering unsolicited advice.
"The streamer's body is practically ruined. All that fat, I wonder if zombies would get sick of eating him."
"Why are you running around like that, Jill? Go back and fight the zombies! You're such a waste. I could take down those zombies with one punch, without even needing any sauce."
"Let's quit. The streamer is gone. He was scared out of his wits and didn't even have the slightest thought of resisting. Even if this group survives, they'll just be food for the zombies."
The fat streamer had no Kung Fu Hustle to read the comments; he was just constantly screaming for help. He was clearly terrified and exhausted, and was on the verge of a breakdown.
His expression was contorted, his eyes were bloodshot, and he Wolf Howl.
The commotion immediately attracted even more zombies.
Even so, the fat man still didn't forget to hold up his phone and livestream.
In less than two minutes, the fat man was caught up by the zombies and pounced on to the ground. His phone was thrown from his hand and landed right in the corner of the wall, perfectly capturing the scene that was about to unfold.
The live stream suddenly froze, and many viewers were so startled that they immediately left.
Most of those still in the live stream had forgotten to log out and were completely paralyzed with fear.
Lin Huai left the live stream and clicked on the next one.
The live stream is hosted by a pretty young woman who is currently hiding in her room, which appears to be her bedroom.
The door was locked and blocked by a wardrobe.
Outside came the howling of Beast and the sound of constant banging on the door.
"Waaaaah, someone please save me! My parents have turned into zombies, and they've already killed my little brother... What am I going to do?"
Lin Huai shook his head. People had long been accustomed to a comfortable life, and had long since lost all their humanity.
In the early stages of the apocalypse, zombies were worse than ordinary people. They had almost no vision, walked like old men, and were weak. Only their Sense of Smell and hearing were slightly better than ordinary people.
As long as you have courage and use your brain a little, killing zombies is no big deal.
Seven days later, all the zombies will complete their first evolution, or rather, fully adapt to the Demon Lord Virus, with their strength, speed, and other attributes all being enhanced.
It will be much harder to kill zombies then.
A month later, level two zombies began to appear among the zombies. Two months later, Wisdom zombies began to appear. Although their Wisdom was still not comparable to that of humans, they were at the level of a five or six-year-old child.
The zombies back then were even more difficult to deal with.
Four months later, Awakened zombies began to appear among the zombies, including Huoyan zombies, Freeze zombies, steel zombies, and even zombies that could Teleportation and become Invisibility.
By that time, zombies had become significantly more Wisdom, making Apocalypse Survival increasingly difficult for humanity.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Huai sent several comments in the live stream.
"The zombies are at their weakest now, which is also the best stage for human Qiusheng. In seven days, the zombies will collectively evolve..."
"To survive in the apocalypse, it's best to use these seven days to clear out as many zombies as possible, gather supplies, and fortify your shelter..."
"In addition, there are crystal cores inside zombie heads. Soak them in alcohol for ten minutes until the outer shell softens, then they can be consumed directly."
"If you are Awakened, consuming Zombie Crystal Core will allow you to awaken your superpowers ahead of time. If you are an ordinary person, you can also enhance your own strength and slowly evolve..."
Good luck to everyone!
After sending the comment, Lin Huai left the live stream. Whether the viewers believed it or not was not Lin Huai's concern.
Lin Huai was now thinking about something else: since he could Copy human abilities, could he Copy the abilities of awakened zombies?
He shook his head. It probably wasn't possible. If it were possible to Copy, the system would have already reacted.
As his strength increased, the system's coverage area also continued to expand, now reaching a radius of two kilometers, basically covering most of the campus.
Since the system didn't "ding," it means it can't, at least not now.
Unbeknownst to Lin Huai, the few comments he posted in the live stream were screenshotted by someone with ulterior motives, and half an hour later, that person killed a zombie and tested it using the method Lin Huai had described.
As a result, his strength and speed were slightly enhanced.
This person then shared the incident across the entire internet.
A day later, after extensive verification by the people, the atmosphere of the entire Ancient Country underwent a tremendous Changes.
Especially after some people started livestreaming themselves killing zombies, collecting their crystal cores, soaking them in alcohol, and consuming them to become stronger, the situation took a completely different turn.
In people's eyes, these zombies no longer looked disgusting, but had all turned into crystal cores.
They all left their homes to try and hunt zombies for crystal cores.
Apart from a few cowardly losers, most people took the initiative to hunt zombies.
Everyone knows that with the apocalypse upon us and order collapsing, only by becoming stronger can we survive.
The next day, Lin Huai woke up to a knock on the door.
"Hey, is anyone still alive?" someone shouted from outside the door.
Lin Huai frowned, opened the door, and saw three students "fully armed".
One of them was holding a baseball bat, another a table leg, and the last one was holding an iron pipe that looked like it had been taken from a radiator.
All three were wearing masks and gloves, and their bodies were covered with cardboard or books by transparent tape, so that they were completely covered except for their eyes.
However, there was a lot of blackened blood on the three people's "weapons" and their bodies, which meant that the three of them had already eaten and killed zombies, and probably quite a lot of them.
"Hey bro, wanna grind some monsters together?" The classmate with the baseball bat Yaoyue Lin Huai straight to the point after seeing him.
"Grinding monsters?" Lin Huai was a little surprised. Were all his classmates this aggressive?
"You haven't been online these past couple of days, have you?" another student holding a table leg asked.
What happened?
"Zombies have crystal cores in their brains; consuming these cores will make them stronger!"
How did you know?
"Now the whole internet knows! Last night someone posted online that consuming crystal cores can make you stronger. After verification by Big Shot, it's confirmed that the news is true. Now, the surviving humans are all grinding monsters."
The three of them took turns recounting the story, and Lin Huai was somewhat moved after listening to it.
I never expected that just a few of my comments would cause such a situation.
But isn't that a good thing?
Are there only three of you in the dormitory building?
Hearing Lin Huai's words, the three men's eyes dimmed slightly. The boy with the baseball bat sighed and said, "Yeah, it's just the four of us left."
