Bizarre events

Shaun hadn't expected such a significant improvement after advancing to a Zombie Lord.

All the upgradeable skills and talents had been enhanced!

His basic combat capabilities had multiplied several times over!

He had even learned three new skills. The first was the Intimidation skill, which was similar to the one the big orange cat had, but Shaun's version was more effective.

However, the two most important skills were the Lord's exclusive skill, Command, which allowed him to control one hundred minions who would follow his orders, even if they died, he could replenish them at any time.

In the apocalypse, the one thing that wasn't lacking was zombies. With his current strength, he could easily help one hundred ordinary zombies advance rapidly.

One hundred powerful and obedient zombies were equivalent to a formidable army. Moreover, the Command skill could be upgraded, and he suspected that leveling it up would increase the number of zombies he could control.

Shaun could already imagine leading countless zombies wreaking havoc in the post-apocalyptic world.

"Haha!" He burst into laughter, completely intoxicated by his newfound power.

The mutated orange cat had become accustomed to Shaun's foolish appearance and couldn't help but look at him with disdain. It turned away and ignored him.

After a while, Shaun finally snapped out of his daydreams. Seeing the cat's disdainful look, he walked over and pinched its chubby face.

The cat protested with a disgruntled meow, but Shaun's newfound strength made it impossible for it to escape. After pinching it for a while, Shaun finally let go and turned his attention to another rare skill he had acquired.

One could only have two rare skills at the moment. One was his Control talent, and the other was the newly acquired Ultimate Disguise.

Shaun activated Ultimate Disguise. In an instant, a miraculous transformation occurred. His eyes were no longer bloodshot but black and white, and his face gradually regained its natural color.

The bloodstains around his mouth disappeared, and sparse hair started growing again. His once wrinkled and withered skin became smooth and flawless. Shaun marveled at the incredible change in his body.

He looked at his hands, and the sharp claws were gone, replaced by normal-looking hands with a healthy complexion.

"I can speak?" he exclaimed in disbelief.

It was the first time he had spoken human words since the apocalypse.

Well... it didn't quite feel right. It should be the first time he had spoken words of a human.

He could now disguise himself as a human, which meant he could easily infiltrate human settlements. When that happened, infecting humans wouldn't be difficult.

This, combined with his newly upgraded Virus Infection talent, meant that he could infect an entire city single-handedly. One man could be more devastating than a plague.

Shaun was thrilled at the prospect of acquiring countless evolution points. But there was something he hadn't noticed. In the peaceful days before the apocalypse, he had been a human. Even though he had spent two months as a zombie, he could now return to the human race. As long as he didn't reveal himself, no one would recognize him as a zombie.

But right now, he was more focused on infecting humans than returning to his human state. It seemed that his will had been completely changed since becoming a zombie. And the scariest part was that he didn't perceive anything wrong with it. He believed everything was normal.

That was the most eerie thing about it. He was no longer a member of the human race, but a zombie. Just as the name of this rare skill suggested: Ultimate Disguise.

With great satisfaction, Shaun looked at his status panel. With his newfound power, there was nowhere he couldn't go. When he looked at his evolution points, though, his mouth twitched. He had accumulated 3,800 out of 100,000 evolution points.

Compared to the five-tier creatures, he had only increased by a bit over three times. But he couldn't ignore the fact that this was just the first tier of a Lord. If he guessed correctly, the second-tier Lord would require 200,000 evolution points!

And it would continue to double in the future!

The amount of evolution points needed later would be a terrifying number!

However, Shaun wasn't in a hurry.

With his current strength, he had the capital to survive. In the apocalypse, he had already become a formidable existence. He looked at the thousands of zombies gathered around him, including elite ones, and directly activated his Command skill.
