I am Jinshan Youxia

"You think I'm a zombie?" Zhang Chengyi vaguely sensed that the boy was holding a short knife and asked with amusement.

"Your eyes and skin have turned grayish-white, there are bite marks on your arms, and now you can't see clearly again..."

The boy gripped the dagger tightly. Although he looked and sounded no more than eight or nine years old, he was not the kind of child who would only be a burden in a post-apocalyptic story.

Zhang Chengyi was fairly satisfied with his performance and asked, "What's your name?"

"..."

The boy was silent for a moment, then said, "Long Yi, I am Long Yi." He arched his body, as if preparing to charge forward.

"A nice name."

Zhang Chengyi asked, "Even if I become a zombie, will you come with me?" If the other party was unwilling, he would not force them.

Opportunities are always for those who are willing to seize them. If he loses this pair of "eyes," he can go to someone else.

He's not that saintly; there's no need to save someone who doesn't want to live.

Long Yi hesitated for a few seconds, then carefully walked over with the knife in his hand, giving his answer through his actions.

"Be careful, don't make a sound, and stay close to me." Zhang Chengyi's blurry vision allowed him to see what appeared to be a window or something not far from the dead man. He turned and walked to the other side of the corridor.

"Hoho~"

As expected, the corpse in the corridor stood up.

"Hello?" Zhang Chengyi reached out and picked up a slightly bent, bloodstained baseball bat from the ground. He had kicked it when he entered the room. He asked in a relaxed tone, "Mr. Zombie, oh, it seems you can't communicate with humans."

He tried to see if he could communicate with the zombies, thinking that as long as they were communicating, he could translate their words, but all he got were meaningless screams.

"boom!"

Mr. Zombie's head was blown apart into a spray of blood in the air.

Zhang Chengyi took a step back, avoiding the dark red bloodstains and the writhing, flying tendons, and turned to look at the boy, saying, "Remember, I am not Nakano."

"I am Zhang Chengyi, the Kingsoft Ranger."

Having said that, he walked out step by step, his feet splattering on the thick blood. The headless corpse lay beside him, still twitching slightly.

One by one, the corpses in the corridor rose to their feet. Zhang Chengyi hummed a song, strode forward, and raised the baseball bat high in his hand.

The zombies, who were not attempting to attack their own kind, stood there blankly.

"boom!"

With a powerful yet hoarse and deep sound, the heads of zombies were smashed open by a bent baseball bat.

Despite his inability to see clearly, Zhang Chengyi's movements were remarkably concise, devoid of any unnecessary elements. It was as if the zombies were actively offering their heads, and the powerful strength derived from his zombification allowed him to easily shatter skulls.

Just like... just like a dance.

A war song filled with violence and bloodshed.

With such overwhelming force, and being a zombie, it's likely that killing a child wouldn't even require a second strike.

The thought crossed Long Yi's mind. With a strange, excited tremor, he gritted his teeth. Even if the other party was a zombie, he really had no other choice.

If he couldn't leave with the other party, he probably wouldn't survive until tomorrow, given his survival skills. After a brief hesitation, he gripped his dagger and chased after them.

-------------------------------------

Half an hour later, the streets were littered with corpses.

"It used to be a detached house."

Zhang Chengyi tossed the broken stick to the ground, squinted his blurry eyes to make out the shapes of the buildings behind him, and casually asked, "Hey, kid, do you know why we're here?"

Judging from the distribution of the large number of zombies killed, it seems that they were trying to resist the zombies entering the house, but ended up being wiped out.

"You...you've come to pick up my grandfather and me." Long Yi's expression was somewhat somber, but he tried his best to remain calm.

Zhang Chengyi couldn't see or know what the little devil was thinking, but he roughly guessed what had happened. He returned to the courtyard, stepped over several corpses, groped for the water hose, and said, "Turn on the water."

Long Yi silently turned on the tap.

"Splash!"

Zhang Chengyi squeezed the hose and rinsed himself thoroughly. He was covered in filth, and no matter how well he hid, he inevitably got dirty and smelly when killing a large number of zombies in narrow terrain.

As a zombie, his senses were very dulled; he couldn't see or smell anything, but he always felt nauseous.

As he rinsed his body, he glanced at the panel and his status. This zombie's body had no stamina, but it was incredibly strong. He didn't know the underlying mechanism, and he didn't even know which zombie apocalypse world he was in.

All I know is a modern background.

It's worth noting that as time goes by, the body's decay is intensifying. He hasn't had time to adjust other data yet, since zombies are inherently strong. Even though their speed is a bit slow, it's still more than enough to deal with other equally slow zombies.

Zhang Chengyi adjusted the level of decay back to zero, casually tossed the water pipe aside, and asked, "Where do you think the survivors in the vicinity would go?"

In this zombie apocalypse, it's obvious that he should avoid crowded places for the time being. He needs some time to study this body to see if there's anything special about it.

This is a modern world with guns and cannons. As a zombie, he has to be wary of firearms, so he should avoid contact with survivors as much as possible in the short term.

“Dayi Shopping Mall, Bed Owner South District Store,” Long Yi answered honestly.

"Bed owner?" Zhang Chengyi noticed the place name and continued to ask, "What kind of place is this?"

"Nime-cho."

"I mean, which city is this?"

Long Yi was filled with doubt, but quickly replied, "Bedmaster City."

I mean Highschool of the Dead.

Zhang Chengyi understood. If he wasn't mistaken, it was a world with even less potential than the Tianlong World. There was no extraordinary power, and the undead, or rather zombies, inside were very weak. Apart from their great strength, they were practically useless.

Anyway, he logged into multiple worlds at once, which was a good opportunity to get familiar with multi-threaded operations. In such a terrible and mediocre world, even if his body was damaged, there was nothing to regret.

The biggest advantage for him is that he can have a good time without worrying about dying.

Moreover, this manga or anime has people and forces that he wants to kill, such as the disgusting fat guy Hirano in the OVA, and the Patriotism Society. If possible, he can just take them out.

Anyway-

Do you have any new clothes that fit my body type?

Zhang Chengyi said in a very relaxed and casual tone, "I'm all wet, it would be better to change my clothes."

He's a sophisticated zombie.

Chapter 64 Physical Collapse

"Smack!"

A bewildered zombie gets its head smashed by a baseball bat.

Zhang Chengyi tossed the corpse out of the window with one hand and casually said, "Clean up the house."

After saying that, he went downstairs on his own and selected several houses. The current one was quite nice, located near a park, and the decoration was also very good.

Long Yi silently began to work and clean.

Zhang Chengyi wiped his hands downstairs and threw the baseball bat away with a clatter. The Japanese really do like baseball; families with boys all have baseball bats. He used the war to sustain his war effort and cleared out almost all the zombies in the nearby block.

"Click~"

In front of the doghouse in the yard, two zombie machines, tethered by dog ​​leashes, were pulling forward from the left and right, making the doghouse creak and groan. Unfortunately, the P-chains used to leash large dogs and the doghouse nailed to the ground were not something they could break, and their efforts were in vain.

The main problem was that Long Yi made some noise when they were brought in, which caused the two of them to try to search for prey.

"I'm not sleepy at all."

Zhang Chengyi sat on the edge of the outer corridor (the side of the courtyard) between the French windows and the courtyard of the house, stretched his body, but received no feedback. Whether he felt comfortable or uncomfortable, he looked up at the sky and, even with his severe cataracts, he could see the sun setting in the west.

Should we feed the little brat in the house something?

He thought for a moment and decided to wait until Long Yi finished cleaning before going out to take the little devil out to find food. By the way, he also had some other things he wanted to do.

After resting for a while, Zhang Chengyi increased his strength by a little. As usual, with the zombie body's base strength at 1, adding 2 points didn't make much difference.

In the world of Tianlong, the effect of improving one's physique is quite noticeable, though I don't know if it's a problem with the senses of a zombie's body.

He patiently increased the force little by little until there was no limit even when the force was five times greater.

No, there have been changes.

Zhang Chengyi discovered that a negative status had appeared in his status bar: [Physical Collapse].

"Tick-tock, tick-tock"

The sound of some liquid flowing was heard, and it landed on his arm. He touched his nostrils, and thick blood mixed with some unknown substance was flowing out.

With his movements, a grinding sound came from the bones inside his arm, giving the impression that they would break if he continued to move them.

interesting.

Zhang Chengyi didn't stop, he continued to add points, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, all reaching ten times, but still didn't feel like he had reached the limit.

The negative status [Physical Collapse] has an X2 indicator. After that, for every five times it increases, [Physical Collapse] will increase by one level. When it reaches thirty times, the body feels like it is about to fall apart.

His instincts, stemming from the game's cheat engine, told him that if he continued modifying it, the game would crash.

The speed is similar, but the upper limit is lower, reaching its limit at sixteen times.

That's impressive.

Zhang Chengyi was pleasantly surprised. The basic strength of the zombie body was much higher than that of the hunter body in the Tianlong world. In other words, even the peak of the hunter body was only four points of physique. Although there is obviously a huge difference between strength and physique, it is clear that this zombie body may have a strange upper limit.

With thirty times the power, he estimated he could fire an air cannon with his bare hands, but his body would most likely rot away due to the physical breakdown.

The ability to adjust strength without limit is similar to unlocking the body's limitations on power.

Perhaps the zombification damaged the body, causing a serious bug in the 'game,' which the modder exploited to continuously improve the game.

If that's the case, we could consider maliciously damaging certain components of the body in the future, thereby triggering the emergence of malicious bugs...

"Well!"

As Zhang Chengyi was pondering, he suddenly heard a soft exclamation. Turning his head, he saw Long Yi's blurry figure leaning against the wall. He asked, "What's wrong?"

"you……"

Long Yi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your body looks like it's about to split open; there are cracks everywhere."
