Chapter 396: Fifteenth Day Of The Zombie Apocalypse World Update
Fifteen days passed, and it was already the fifteenth day since the Zombie Apocalypse had started.
During those fifteen days, the zombies had evolved way too fast.
From Normal Zombies, the zombies evolved progressively to Elite Zombie, Special Zombie, Leader Zombie, and then Zombie King.
The powerhouses among zombies were mostly at the Leader Zombie level. Those at Zombie King could be counted on one’s hand. Haley had also become a Zombie King powerhouse.
Of course, as the zombies have grown stronger, the treasure chests they’ve dropped have also improved in quality, allowing some survivors to acquire the Virus Evolution Manual.
Virus Evolution Manuals were divided into ranks that corresponded to the upper limit of the Evolver rank that it could guide the survivors with.
In Zayne’s case, he had easily acquired an Overlord rank Virus Evolution Manual, which provided a detailed guide on how a human could become an Evolver Overlord.
Normally, a survivor could only get a King rank Virus Evolution Manual. Those with absurdly high luck could get an Emperor rank Virus Evolution Manual.
It was only due to Zayne possessing reality-altering luck that he acquired an Overlord rank Virus Evolution Manual.
From what he had tested, when compared to the power rank system of the Train Survival Universe, Evolver Kings and Zombie Kings corresponded to Silver rank. Evolver Emperors and Zombie Emperors corresponded to Gold rank, while those Evolver Overlords and Zombie Overlords were comparable to Platinum rank powerhouses.
In other words, if Zayne didn’t do well in the Second Doomsday Life Simulation and only had the power of his First Doomsday Life Simulation, his Fairy King of Sealing Fairy Fruit Awakening Stage and Stage 5 Abyss Sovereign Body could only be compared to Zombie Overlords and Evolver Overlords.
At that time, he’d no longer hold an absolute advantage over the people in Terra, unlike he did on the first day of the zombie apocalypse.
Fortunately, he didn’t remain complacent and had managed to strike it rich in his Second Doomsday Life Simulation.
The limit of the Zombie Apocalypse’s power system was merely Evolver Overlords and Zombie Overlords.
Although they were powerful enough to sink or destroy islands, they were only comparable to Platinum rank and were nothing but fodder when compared to a Celestial rank powerhouse such as Zayne and his train crewmates.
Moreover, the limit might be Overlord rank, but aside from those with absurdly high talents that were one in a hundred million, it was unlikely for most powerhouses in Main World Terra to reach Overlord rank.
Zayne had estimated that on the 30th day of the Zombie Apocalypse, there’d only be a dozen or so Overlord rank powerhouses while the main powerhouses would be those at Emperor rank.
Due to this, he had the leisure to slack off and travel the zombie apocalypse world with Jade.
Jade and his dating spot were literally the entire world, treating every encounter they had as a scenic dating spot.
Moreover, witnessing the evolution process of the humans and zombies within Main World Terra had greatly benefited Jade’s Evolution Sovereignty.
It was during their dates that Zayne had killed zombies with Jade, allowing him to acquire not only that Overlord rank Virus Evolution Manual, but other resources as well. However, to his current power rank, they were quite useless, so they could only accumulate dust within his system inventory space.
During those fifteen days, aside from having dates with Jade, Zayne had also assisted Jade in severing ties with her family.
Unlike him, who was an orphan due to being a transmigrator, Jade’s parents were still alive and had even managed to survive the zombie apocalypse.
However, Jade didn’t have a good relationship with her parents. The only time she ever felt familial affection was from her late grandmother.
Due to this, her relationship with her parents had become even more estranged after she experienced hundreds of years within the Train Survival Universe.
As for resurrecting her grandmother, Jade was more than capable of that. However, she had used her Time Sovereignty and Golden Time spirit avatar to talk to a past timeline version of her grandmother.
From what her grandmother had told her, her grandmother was satisfied with her life and eventual end, not being interested in experiencing the Monthly Apocalypse World Update Era.
Due to this, Jade respected the wishes of her late grandmother and didn’t resurrect her. After all, not everyone was like them, who had already decided to live long and become immortal.
Most people, especially elderly people like her grandmother, had already accepted the inevitability of death and even prepared themselves for it. Of course, those who weren’t satisfied with their life or had some regrets might be more tempted to have a second chance at life.
As for those who sought immortality due to wanting to enjoy their wealth or power longer, Jade scoffed at them since they only sought immortality when they were about to die.
Immortality wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. In one of the ten thousand world globes of the Zenith Train, there was literally an immortal who had lived for a billion years and wanted to die, yet he couldn’t.
Due to this, that immortal had sealed himself, especially his consciousness, experiencing something akin to death via eternal slumber. However, it wasn’t as absolute as true death, and so one of Morvane’s trials for increasing his Universal Law of Death fragments ownership was literally using his Death Papyrus to kill that immortal.
Unfortunately, even Morvane hadn’t succeeded. That immortal was too unusual, and Zayne’s Hint Prompt mentioned that only death attributed powers comparable to the Death Supremacy could kill that immortal.
It could be said that the world where that immortal existed was only transformed by Zayne into a world globe due to that immortal’s existence.
Moreover, aside from assisting Jade in severing her family ties, Zayne had also used his Power System Unity Physique (Red) talent to create a power system layer within his body.
Within that layer, Zayne acquired the power system of the Zombie Apocalypse World Update and became an Evolver Overlord!
