Chapter 256 - 9.2 The Mad Professor of the Apocalypse x Zombie King
The original story is quite old-fashioned.
The protagonist, Chen Ran, is reborn. In his previous life, he experienced the beginning of the apocalypse. Because he didn’t awaken any superpowers, he was looked down on and excluded in a world where only the strong could survive.
Even though he endured three years of hardship, he eventually died in an accident during a zombie attack at the start of year four.
But just as he was dying, the crescent-shaped jade pendant hanging around his neck, an heirloom, suddenly lit up with a dazzling white light as it absorbed his blood.
When he woke up again, Chen Ran was shocked to find that not only was he not dead, he had actually returned to a full month before the apocalypse began.
His first thought was that everything had been a dream. But soon he realized the jade pendant around his neck had disappeared, and in its place, he now had a strange space in his sea of consciousness.
More importantly, the vivid pain and trauma from his death, being torn apart, told him that it definitely wasn’t just a dream.
But now, he was back.
The end of the world hadn’t started yet. There was still time.
And this time, he had something amazing: a mystical space, far larger than the spatial powers awakened by ability users in his previous life. Even better, there was a spiritual spring inside it.
As long as he kept drinking that water, he’d get stronger and stronger. Even without an ability, he’d have enough power to protect himself once the apocalypse came.
He would no longer be looked down on, no longer abandoned by his fellow survivors as a weak burden. This time, he would become a strong man admired by others, someone with high status and access to abundant survival resources, just like the top elites from his previous life.
