I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade

"What do you mean by 'he's gone'?"

"It means he's dead. The last message he sent to headquarters was... I've encountered the so-called Officer Huang, I'm going to take him down, and then... there wasn't a 'then'." The heavy metal guy wasn't surprised at Godzilla's death.

They were all mutants, beings who had fused with zombie genes.

Others always considered them as products of technology, but they never liked being referred to as works; they firmly believed they were individuals.

The man in casual clothes asked, "Does the Officer Huang recorded in the album have such capabilities?"

Being mutants, they were very confident in their own strength. The fusion of genes gave them the ability to surpass everything, even when confronting high-level zombies, they could easily handle them.

"I don't know. I really want to encounter Officer Huang and see what kind of abilities he possesses. A zombie that retains sanity, up until now, it appears only the Creators have that." The man in a suit said.

Looking at the man who seemed like he was into heavy metal music, the suited man said, "We know you've been close with a Creator recently. I advise you to be careful. You're thinking about its genes, but what's in its mind might be beyond your imagination."

"Haha, you don't need to worry about my affairs. The Creator's mind isn't as clever as you think. But we could talk about Lin Fan from Sunshine Shelter. That guy is too mysterious. The organization sent people to investigate him last time, and they were wiped out upon arrival. It's unfair when even a child is so terrifying." The man in a suit shook his head while speaking.

The video isn't a secret; it has already been made public.

The young girl who appeared, so young, yet still so terrifying; that's the frightening power of telekinesis.

Invisible compression directly killed the ultimate mutant.

They asked themselves.

If they were to encounter such a situation, would they be a match for her?

"What's that Red Demon guy up to recently?" someone asked curiously.

The Red Demon is the most perfect existence among all the mutants.

Even if they were reluctant to admit it.

Such power and form were really perfect, astoundingly so.

"Who knows, he doesn't get along with anyone, always acting arrogant, but in the end, he's just an artificially cultivated thing, acting like he's more precious than the rest of us."

His words weren't pleasant.

But that's the reality.

Before they became mutants, their power was nowhere near the current level, not even worth comparing.

Red Demon is merely a nickname.

His real name is unknown.

In their eyes, once one truly becomes a mutant, they can't really be considered human anymore; their past is forgotten, including their name.

A name is just a designation; no matter what it's called, it doesn't matter to them.

"Alright, enough sour talk. That Red Demon guy is indeed more impressive than us. Even before he fused with zombie genes, he was already an awakener. You all know his genetic compatibility with zombie genes is very high, far more perfect than ours."

Everyone silently nodded in agreement.

Indeed.

They were the lucky batch of mutants; some experienced gene mutations post-fusion, unable to maintain human form, transforming into monstrous lives, some even becoming piles of bloody mud.

Even with a bit of sanity, the brain remains filled with violence.

Such is the failed product.

So why would anyone still choose to take the risk? Perhaps it's the unknown yet powerful force that tempts them, willing to take the gamble. After all, turning from an ordinary person into someone with extraordinary strength, anyone would want such power to survive in this miserable post-apocalyptic world.

...

Red Sun Martial Arts School.

"Dad, recently there have been some zombies appearing near us, though not in large numbers. Could this be a sign of something?"

Duan Yi looked very serious.

During this time, the martial arts school was relatively stable and peaceful. They hadn't encountered any major trouble. Occasionally, zombies would appear, but they were quickly dealt with smoothly.

The reason for staying at the martial arts school was to see if they could encounter someone in need of help.

Also, they wanted to pass on the school's legacy through the apocalypse.

But in the zombie-dominated apocalypse, finding survivors was truly difficult; at least, up until now, they hadn't met any.

Duan Chenghu chuckled, "Daughter, don't be too sensitive. Zombies appearing is very normal, don't be too nervous."

Let's say this apocalypse is really scary, but he didn't expect his daughter to grow up to be sensible in the apocalypse. Indeed, environment truly changes a person.

Their martial arts school had a total of fifteen awakeners.

Lin Fan delivered crystals to them, letting them consume crystals to enhance their abilities.

Duan Yi said, "Dad, it's better to be cautious. But recently, I've noticed Zhu Tao getting very close and secretive with other students."

The Zhu Tao she mentioned is the martial arts school's director of studies.

In peaceful times before, he was very harsh on the students, unwilling to properly communicate, ready to discipline them at the slightest dissatisfaction.

Now suddenly building good relations with the students left her feeling Zhu Tao might have some bad intentions.

Duan Chenghu said, "He's been at the martial arts school for many years, was always diligent, and now that many students have become awakeners, he's probably worried that they might remember past grievances and trouble him. Building good relations now is normal. Thinking about the bad side of things is fine, but don't think of everything negatively."
