DDT - Chapter 3
Chapter 3: Zombie King × Little White Flower (2)
Chi Junluo had been rushing day and night for over a week, yet she didn't feel tired at all.
Chi Junluo: No! I'm just mentally exhausted from running too fast...
Although her body wouldn't tire, her spirit was weary. Chi Junluo inexplicably felt a wave of irritation.
The continuous rushing day and night had allowed Chi Junluo to completely master this body.
This body was a truly excellent zombie. Fair skin, beautiful features, and long legs. Her eyes had turned a light blue due to mutation, and she had a head of jet-black short hair. Her posture was upright. However, being a zombie who had lost normal human vital signs, Chi Junluo's entire being appeared unnaturally pale, as if she hadn't seen sunlight or the sky for years.
The body's resilience was excellent, and its strength was also very high. When she encountered a team armed with firearms on the road, Chi Junluo discovered that bullets posed no threat to her. Although her skin felt soft to the touch normally, it became as hard as iron walls when facing danger. She didn't bother with the suicidal team that opened fire on her. In her haste to reach her destination, she leaped past their convoy, disappearing into the distance unharmed after taking a volley of bullets. She also managed to flatten a few car roofs in the process.
Armed Convoy: Please show some respect! Thank you!
Without any extra thought for the convoy, whose members felt like they had eaten shit, she hurried eastward. Time was of the essence. Who knew what the heroine might encounter if she was any later?
"Hope she's okay, hope she's okay, hope she's okay," the Heavenly Dao kept nagging in Chi Junluo's sea of consciousness. "Faster, faster, faster!"
"Stop rushing me, this is the fastest I can go!" Chi Junluo's head ached from the noise. She retorted with her consciousness. The Heavenly Dao, which had been visualized in her sea of consciousness, was splashed with water and silently shut up. "Maybe the heroine is a super powerful ability user? Maybe she won't encounter any danger?" Chi Junluo offered a guess in her mind.
"The probability of my heroine being an ability user is slim. The heroine is an outsider, a fragment parasitic on this world, like a parasite. The world she's parasitizing will naturally reject her, much like the human immune system. You won't feel it consciously, but your body will react," the Heavenly Dao, having experienced many worlds, analyzed logically. "So, even if the Heavenly Dao of this world doesn't realize there's a parasitic heroine fragment, the world itself will reject the heroine's existence. Therefore, the heroine might be unlucky, or rather, extremely unlucky."
Chi Junluo: ...Why are you describing your own heroine as a parasite? Ugh, how disgusting!
Heavenly Dao: ...
The Heavenly Dao silently shut up. Focus on the important points, damn it!
"So, the heroine is likely just a frail ordinary person?" Chi Junluo silently lit a candle in her heart for the heroine, wherever she might be.
A giant burning candle suddenly appeared in her sea of consciousness, scorching the pitiful Heavenly Dao.
Heavenly Dao: !!! Quickly extinguish it! It's burning my feet!
Chi Junluo silently removed the candle, thinking to herself that her sea of consciousness was a rather interesting thing.
Heavenly Dao: Don't think I don't know what you're thinking! Young man! Put away those dangerous thoughts!
Chi: I won't!
A monstrous wave surged in her sea of consciousness. Chi Junluo's communication with the Heavenly Dao failed again (x2).
Along the way, Chi Junluo not only mastered the use of this body, greatly increasing her travel speed, but also learned to use mental power. Setting aside the fact that she was a powerful transmigrator with immense mental power spanning across worlds and time, the zombie king's own mental power was terrifyingly potent.
The most direct manifestation of using mental power was the ability to levitate and fly anywhere.
Chi: I successfully managed to lift myself!
Proud!
Another manifestation of using mental power was that she could command the masses! Pfft! Command the zombies!
From one or two at first, then ten or twenty, and finally hundreds and thousands, Chi Junluo found the experience novel and wonderful. Thus, she led a large horde of zombies, swaying and staggering, into a passing city. Her mental power covered the entire city, and countless zombies crawled out from dark corners, shuffling to join the ranks behind Chi Junluo. The scene was spectacular.
Chi Junluo: I think I'm developing a zombie collecting addiction (つд)
Thus, Level 1 zombie acquired!
Level 2, 3, 4 zombies acquired!
The strong ones acquired! The fast ones acquired! The flying ones acquired! The running ones acquired!
Congratulations to Chi Chi for achieving the lifetime achievement award for zombie collection!
"Clap clap clap!" Chi Junluo applauded herself in her mind.
The Heavenly Dao, sitting in Chi Junluo's sea of consciousness, saw a pair of giant hands materialize and clap for themselves. It was beyond speechless.
Finally, urged by the Heavenly Dao, Chi Junluo reluctantly abandoned her little game of collecting various zombies and sped up her pace towards the east. Due to the excessive speed, many poorly evolved zombies fell behind, reverting to scattered, listless little zombies. Only the more advanced and faster zombies managed to keep up with Chi Junluo's spinning, jumping gait.
As she got closer to the target heroine, Chi Chi couldn't help but hum a cheerful tune.
Eastern J City Small Base.
The small base was a newly emerging force in J City. The leader of the small base was a Level 5 ice ability user, a standout in J City. He single-handedly eliminated the zombies in the eastern district of J City, intimidating a large number of lower-level ability users. He was highly sought after by most J City ability users, and many ability users from J City and its surrounding areas, along with ordinary people, flocked to pledge allegiance to this Level 5 ability user. Seeing the influx of people, the leader clapped his hands and decided to establish the small base in the eastern district of J City.
Slaying zombies with his own hands, gathering a diverse group of ability user subordinates, establishing his own base, and building his own influence – he was a rising star in the apocalypse, with boundless prospects. Given time, he was destined to become a regional overlord.
This is how it usually goes in novels.
The leader thought so. His second-in-command, Old Wang, thought so. The newly arrived young man, Zhuang Cun, also thought so. The subordinates all thought so.
Everyone thought so, if only the leader didn't have a habit of messing around with women.
It had been over a year since the apocalypse. The laws of the current world had long since collapsed. In the apocalypse, might made right. Ability users dominated ordinary people, and high-level ability users dominated low-level ability users. These truths had been deeply ingrained in the hearts of those struggling to survive in the apocalypse within this short year.
In the leader's view, he possessed charm and ability, and he had protected so many people. Therefore, it was only natural for him to toy with a few women who had no value to society. Even if he didn't actively seek them out, women would flock to his bed, just for a safe haven and a few pieces of bread.
The leader had long grown tired of the women who offered themselves to him; they no longer held any appeal. He preferred women who were chaste and virtuous. He enjoyed the feeling of their desperate resistance turning into helpless struggle. Forcing women who couldn't defend themselves excited him.
However, it had been over a year since the apocalypse. Ordinary women without self-defense capabilities had either met their demise in the jaws of zombies or had been thoroughly ruined by ability users like them, losing their appeal. As for the beautiful and clean female ability users, they could only gaze at them from afar, unable to have them.
All the playable women in the small base had been used up. Fortunately, the second-in-command, being clever and resourceful, used zombie crystal cores to buy a few relatively intact women from the large base in the western district.
The leader, impatient, went to a star-rated hotel within the small base's jurisdiction. He had a water ability user fill a pool with cool water for him and happily took a bath. He ordered his second-in-command, Old Wang, to take the women to be cleaned. It was still broad daylight, but the leader couldn't wait to indulge himself. The leader also heard that a new fire ability user had brought a fair-skinned young girl, rumored to be a virgin. He instructed Old Wang to bring the new girl to the presidential suite, and then the leader stripped naked and jumped into the pool.
In the presidential suite.
On the large, soft mattress, a girl in a white tracksuit slowly woke up.
The girl opened her eyes, which were still sore and uncomfortable. She wanted to raise her hand to rub her eyes but discovered her hands were tied. The girl then suddenly woke up completely. A sharp pain in the back of her head reminded her of what had happened!
She recalled that it seemed to be her college classmate, Zhuang Cun, with whom she had some sort of argument, and then her enraged classmate had knocked her unconscious.
What was it about? The girl's head ached. Having just woken from unconsciousness, she felt her reactions were a bit slow. She moved her lips but found her mouth was also gagged.
A "click" sound echoed, followed by the sound of familiar footsteps.
The girl vaguely saw a figure approach, and then the figure squatted down, stopping by the bedside. She blinked hard, finally seeing clearly that it was a familiar young man, her college classmate, the one who had knocked her out – Zhuang Cun.
"Shuhan, you're awake," a magnetic voice said.
"Look, if you had agreed to my pursuit back then, why would you have to suffer this physical pain?" Zhuang Cun said with some regret. He squatted by the bed, gently caressing the girl's face with his right hand, then picked up her long hair and twirled it around his fingers.
"I'm an ability user! I can protect you and give you hope to live!" Zhuang Cun said, slightly agitated, his eyes fixed on the girl's eyes on the bed, which appeared pitiful.
"I don't want to hurt you, Shuhan. If you've come to your senses now, nod your head at me, and I'll immediately take you away from here, to the big base." After speaking, the young man traced the girl's facial contours with his hand. "Don't force me to ruin you."
"You wouldn't want to know what you'll have to face if you refuse me. Yi Shuhan," the young man said calmly, his words leaving no room for refusal.
