Humans who want to become zombies
During each stage of evolution, the ability is randomly acquired, but there's also a high possibility that no new ability will be gained.
The system promptly emerged to explain.
Lin Chuan listened to the system's explanation without much concern.
Although he didn't gain a new ability, the enhancement of his Giantification ability was still considerable.
Giantification, which originally amplified him fivefold, had been upgraded to eightfold.
This meant he could transform into a giant fifteen meters tall.
A size equivalent to an entire building.
Coupled with the increase in various attributes after Giantification, the power unleashed would be devastating.
This was far stronger than the "Blessing" and "Telepathy" abilities he had gained at the third stage.
As for the newly added interference capability of Telepathy, Lin Chuan simply ignored it.
He had neither the intention nor the time to pry into the thoughts of those survivors.
Afterward, Lin Chuan closed the attribute panel and took out his phone to browse.
"Delegates from various countries receive a cold shoulder; a White Country diplomat is slapped by an Italian diplomat. What's the mystery behind it all?!"
"Police-promised airdrop supplies have yet to arrive, will the tragic ending of Qingzhou be repeated in Fifteen Cities?"
"Officer Ling Shiyun leads the people of Liuli Prefecture to build a new shelter, which is taking shape. The people of Liuli Prefecture are not afraid of zombies, and in the near future, they will surely eradicate these demons and reclaim their homeland for humanity!"
"The King of Zombies has appeared, why hasn't the police immediately killed that beast to restore peace to Fifteen Cities?"
"Please have the police kill that beast immediately to avenge the sacrificed citizens!"
"The three steps to surviving successfully amidst disaster!"
...
Articles and reports from various sources flooded in, countless times more than a few days ago.
Although the incident of the closed-door reception of foreign delegates topped the trending topics, it paled in comparison to the exposure of the King of Zombies' whereabouts.
In an instant, countless netizens joined the call for Lin Chuan's execution.
Beyond demanding immediate action from the police, they also hurled curses at Lin Chuan.
They seemed unable to vent their hatred for Lin Chuan even with the vilest words they could muster.
Unfortunately, amidst the outcry of countless citizens, the upper echelons of Wu Country did not give any response.
Not even a hint of news about the previously promised airdrop supplies was leaked.
Seeing how calmly the upper echelons of Wu Country were acting, Lin Chuan's eyebrows raised slightly, and he was certain in his heart that they were scheming something big.
They were worried that their explanation and reports in advance would alert Lin Chuan to their intentions.
However, Lin Chuan's focus was solely on useful information. He didn't care about how the upper echelons of Wu Country responded to the citizens.
Upon seeing the mention of airdrop supplies by the citizens, a new idea immediately popped into Lin Chuan's mind.
At present, survivors in every city had hidden themselves out of fear. Even with their keen sense of smell and hearing, zombies found it difficult to locate them.
When Wu Country began airdropping supplies to each city, it might be the best time for hunting.
Thinking of this, Lin Chuan immediately ordered the zombies in each city to keep an eye out for the airdrops.
Then, Lin Chuan clicked on the article about Ling Shiyun leading a group of people to build a shelter.
As he opened the article, a picture of a woman with a straight posture, chest out, wearing a police officer's uniform, short hair, and a determined expression greeted him.
In the lower right corner of the photo, the bold words "Officer Ling Shiyun" were marked.
This woman was also the one who had taken the initiative to enter the quarantined area to stabilize public sentiment.
Below the photo was a eulogy to Ling Shiyun, praising her for giving the people of Liuli Prefecture hope of survival and living under her leadership.
As well as how, under her direction, building the shelter was not difficult at all.
Attached to the lengthy, several-hundred-word eulogy were two photographs.
The first was of the shelter's framework, with countless people working in harmony to expedite its construction.
The second was a photograph of hundreds of people gathered together, harmonious and smiling.
After reading the article, Lin Chuan didn't make any comments.
He only hoped that this optimistic group would remain so even when zombies swarmed into Liuli Prefecture.
Faced with the threat posed by zombies, he hoped they would still follow Ling Shiyun's orders.
Closing the article, Lin Chuan clicked on "The Three-Step Formula for Successfully Surviving Disaster!" to read it.
He was curious about what the so-called three-step formula was, daring to claim the ability to survive a disaster.
"A genius!"
As the article opened, Lin Chuan saw the content clearly and exclaimed in praise.
The article consisted of only a few short sentences.
"Step 1: Lock in on a zombie as your target."
"Step 2: Take advantage of its unawareness and voluntarily get infected by it."
"Step 3: Enjoy the process of being infected. We have survived!"
"Note: Although we have become mindless zombies, being a walking corpse is also a manifestation of life. Perhaps someday in the future, we too may regain consciousness like that female zombie, and that will be a new beginning."
Numerous comments from the public were posted below the article.
"Well said, but please tell me, how can one avoid being eaten by zombies before becoming one in their swarming behavior?"
"Dammit, if you don't want to live, don't come here to spread your nonsense. Don't let me see you, or I'll beat you till you crap your pants!"
"The poster has gone mad. Everyone, let's wait for the funeral feast."
"Brother, you're one of us! Come take a spot, let's be companions and join the zombie family together!"
...
There were mixed reviews, and the poster replied to every comment.
Seeing this, Lin Chuan couldn't help but comment, "Such a great three-step formula, why haven't you become a zombie yet?"
As soon as Lin Chuan posted his comment, the other person replied almost instantly, "If the zombies outside didn't eat me, and if I were a healthy person, I would have already thrown myself at them. Why would I waste my time arguing with you here!"
Shortly after receiving the reply, Lin Chuan also received two private messages from the other person.
The first was a photo of a man paralyzed from the waist down sitting in a wheelchair.
The second was a plea from the poster.
"Brother, I'm in Tanzhou. Why don't you come help me and lead me to become a zombie, okay?"
"Don't you have many like-minded comrades in your article's comments?" Lin Chuan replied, asking.
"Fuck, those people are either too scared of being eaten by zombies to leave their shells, or they're just talking shit."
"In one sentence, will you help or not?" The poster asked decisively.
Seeing the other person's urgent tone, Lin Chuan couldn't help but laugh helplessly.
From the outbreak of the zombie disaster until now, he had encountered someone for the first time who wasn't afraid of zombies but instead wanted to become one.
Without hesitation, he replied decisively.
"I'm also in Tanzhou. How about we help each other?"
"How so?"
"The fact that you're still alive means your hiding place is very safe. As long as you can provide me with more hiding places of survivors, I'll help you become a zombie. How does that sound?"
"Brother, what are you trying to pull here?"
"We're just getting what we need."
"Alright, I'm at Xingfu Apartments... When you find me, I'll give you the specific locations of the other survivors' hiding places."
Lin Chuan's conversation with the poster ended there.
Seeing the specific location provided by the poster, Lin Chuan didn't hesitate. He walked out of the building and drove to Xingfu Apartments without saying another word.
