Chapter 0005 City Center
In comparison, ordinary zombies are merely a weak presence.
The crawling of this biochemical zombie, with its sharp claws embedded in the walls of skyscrapers, penetrates deep into the roots of its claws. It resembles a nail driven into the wall, then struck forcefully with a hammer on the nail head, causing sand and stones to splatter as the nail is driven into the wall
In its eyes, cars are no different from toys
Even if you were to blow up this exposed heart, the impact on the tyrant would be merely average
However
The explosive muscles intertwine, clearly indicating an existence brimming with combat power
Lu Chuan's vision, though not that of an architect, can still envision that constructing a structure of this magnitude, with hundreds of floors, would pose no problem
This is indeed a perilous world, yet it is also a world full of opportunities. In this world, everything has already collapsed, but in Lu Chuan's own eyes, it is a process of resource redistribution
Every place that the biochemical zombies have crawled through is marked by a fragmented trace on the walls
Among these groups of zombies, there are some wearing yellow and red safety helmets, mingling with the horde and drifting along with the flow
Gazing at the car that had been thrown to the third floor, the twisted and mangled appearance of the vehicle made Lu Chuan involuntarily swallow his saliva
In the distant place, faintly, one can hear the almost inaudible sound of gunfire.
A cacophony of noise suddenly emanated from the ear, only to vanish just as quickly
Among the ordinary zombies, this figure stands out like a crane among a flock of chickens, making it difficult not to notice it
Except for the first floor occupied by a level one biochemical factory, the nine floors above are empty and filled with dust
They have become unrecognizable; the virus has caused their muscles to decay, yet it has strengthened their sinews, transforming them into immortal monsters. ... There are no pain nerves, no sensation, no signs of life, and no sounds ... . ... Anything can provoke or stimulate them.
A ten-story building is truly not considered tall
On the street
It was as if he were watching the most terrifying horror film in the world; just a glance was enough to send Lu Chuan into a cold sweat
Things that are looked down upon by people in a post-apocalyptic world may, in a different time and space, hold immense value
Abandoned cars are haphazardly placed on the street
The terrifying visage of the zombie suddenly came into view for Lu Chuan
The biochemical factory chose this location and created an elevator that did not previously exist, which did not surprise Lu Chuan
The exterior of the building is surrounded by countless rusted steel frames, with green nets enclosing the structure. The arrival of the apocalypse has only rendered this place dilapidated, with the steel frames corroded and the protective nets tattered yet still hanging on the steel structures
What kind of existence is a tyrant? The lickers are powerful, yet before the tyrant, they become weaklings
... ...
A reddish-yellow with a hint of pale purple, this is actually the color of exposed muscle
With each movement, the claws always dig into the wall, steadily crawling at heights of over one hundred stories.
Roar ... ...
A loud noise came from the street not far away, and upon seeing this tyrant, Lu Chuan shrank his head back
Anyone, under the virus, has the potential to become a monster resembling a walking corpse
This tyrant rampaged through the streets, disregarding all the zombies that stood in its way. Even with some cars blocking its path, it effortlessly lifted one of the vehicles with its mutated right arm and tossed it aside as if it were mere trash
It is conceivable that when Lu Chuan is able to stand firm, whether in the apocalypse or in the modern era, he will possess a significant status and influence.
Due to the fact that this place was a massive construction site before the apocalypse, there is no shortage of zombies in the form of construction workers
The seemingly careless movement, however, contains a power that makes one tremble
Standing atop the tenth floor, Lu Chuan exuded an air of grandeur
This is a world filled with dangers and crises; with a moment's carelessness, you might lose your life here
Thinking too much and too far is unrealistic
Gulu
Look at this immensely thick load-bearing column, the enormous building layers that seem to stretch endlessly upwards; the skyscraper being constructed is likely to be very tall, perhaps even a landmark building
The reason confirmed by Lu Chuan lies in the fact that when looking at this zombie, a prompt automatically appears, providing some basic information about it
Inside the construction site, only a few scattered construction worker zombies are wandering about
In the post-apocalyptic world, in addition to zombies, there are also survivors
The greater the difference in values, the larger the operational space available to Lu Chuan
This is a Tyrant Class I zombie, standing at a height of 250 centimeters, with its body almost entirely composed of decaying flesh. The right arm has undergone a more severe mutation, being thicker and longer than the left arm, with nails that have evolved more thoroughly
This is a vast city, where at least from the perspective of Luchuan, the eyes can hardly see the end. In the distance, one can still see the towering skyscrapers, which blend into the sky, appearing only as faint outlines.
Two enormous brains lay bare, exposed to the outside, resembling a pair of compound eyes growing on a head. A red tongue, like a giant serpent, flicks in and out like a snake's tongue; as it crawls, the tongue lashes about, its ferocity sending chills down one's spine
Lu Chuan shuddered all over, experiencing a few tremors
At first glance, Lu Chuan confirmed the identity of this bio-zombie
From the second floor, one can easily see the street ahead
In a city that has long been without water and electricity, the biochemical factory is not among them
Ke Luchuan is not foolish enough to believe that the zombies outside would obey him. Given the madness of the zombies, and considering that this is only the second floor, any noise could easily attract them, allowing them to rush up to the second floor in no time at all.
Only upon reaching the top floor on the tenth level did Lu Chuan feel a slight sense of relaxation
Lu Chuan's pupils contracted, he was just a step away from turning around and fleeing
The factory is surrounded by towering skyscrapers, and the initial prosperity was beyond imagination
Especially the forelimbs with four claws, strong and powerful, with sharp and pointed nails, resemble four chisels more than anything else
What Lu Chuan felt was a profound silence
Lu Chuan was stunned for a full ten minutes before he managed to calm himself down and regain a bit of strength
The chaotic state of the cars clearly indicates just how tumultuous the situation was at that time; it is likely that not a single one of the ten who could escape the city managed to do so. More often than not, it was due to traffic and other factors that they remained in this city forever
The urgent task is to activate the first "product"
In the distance, a biochemical zombie resembling a gecko is crawling on a tall building.
I am now the owner of the zombie factory, standing in opposition to humanity
Survivor
Do not look at the heart of the other person exposed on the outside, but the weakness of the zombie is not the heart
I go!
The zombies manufactured by the factory will be one hundred percent loyal and will obey Lu Chuan's commands
Not daring to make a sound, Lu Chuan cautiously climbed up the stairs. Starting from the second floor, there were only stairs, no elevator, and everywhere were remnants of construction materials and various equipment left over from the initial phase.
Lu Chuan took the elevator from the biochemical factory on the first floor to the second floor
From the degree of rust on these cars, Lu Chuan can infer that the apocalypse has likely occurred for more than five years
On the street, countless zombies are wandering about, their density causing those with a fear of crowds to feel dizzy. The street is filled with heads, one next to another, extending to the end of the street
In the vast city, the silence is terrifying, and under the setting sun, it imparts an exceedingly cold and eerie sensation
What Lu Chuan can do now is to take the first step
Tyrant, this is actually a tyrant
Elderly, children, adults, women
Wuwu ... ...
Standing tall allows one to see far; from a distance, one can gaze even further and observe more things.
A tall figure caught Lu Chuan's attention
Just a moment ago, Lu Chuan was full of bravado, but now his expression has darkened, revealing a look of distress.
Looking at the setting sun, Lu Chuan realized that time in the apocalypse was synchronized with the modern era. It should also be dusk in the modern world.
The zombies in the street move aimlessly, surrounding the biochemical factory with the construction site walls as their boundary, creating an impenetrable enclosure.
Licker
Bang
Based on the various wonders of the biochemical factory, Lu Chuan dares to assert that the technology possessed by this biochemical factory does not belong to this apocalyptic world; it should be a factory that is far beyond the years of this apocalypse, existing as a super bug-like entity
The current version of myself is insignificant in the face of these true zombies
The location of the biochemical factory is a newly constructed building that has just reached ten stories.
Outside there are numerous formidable zombies, while inside there are survivors. Caught in between, my own survival is uncertain. Given my small arms and legs, facing firearms and ammunition, a single shot could mean the end for me
The tall buildings nearby, with several of them being over a hundred stories high, render the biochemistry factory, which stands at only ten stories, quite unremarkable
