Ultimate Series, Past Lives Revealed

86: Become a zombieThe next day, it was time for the heavenly screen to broadcast!

Everyone in the Twelve Time Spaces waited expectantly, hoping for a plot twist regarding Arthur Wang’s past life!

[In the seventh year of this Apocalypse, the mysterious base that everyone had once discussed and was eventually bombed to the ground, along with the terrifying human experiments within, seemed to have gradually faded from people’s memories.]

[The panic triggered by that earth-shattering explosion had also been taken away over time by the difficult survival in the Apocalypse; everything seemed to have returned to some kind of ”normalcy.”]

[However, in this land that was once bustling but is now desolate and broken—the ruins of Laboratory 001 where Ling Feng blew himself up—a full year had quietly passed.]

[Among the ruins of the past, the scene was now filled with hair-raising sights: Zombies with severed limbs wandering aimlessly; some with their bellies ripped open and intestines trailing outside, emitting a foul stench; and even worse, some with faces so rotten that their eyeballs were long gone... all sorts of Zombies formed a living portrait of Hell.]

[Tong Time Space Evil Girl Group: Blech! So... scary! What are these?]

[Huyan Jue Luo Xiu of the Iron Time Dimension: Are they magical creatures?]

[Silver Time-Space Zhang Fei: Blech! I’m gonna puke! They can walk like that? Are they alive?]

[Hao Jiaqi from Gold Space: How could they be alive? That’s impossible!]

[They moved slowly; without a doubt, they were just low-Rank Zombies.]

[Xia Mei from Iron Space: Low-Rank?]

[But amidst this chaos and decay, there was a very special figure.]

[As the camera slowly zoomed in, it revealed that it was actually Experimental Subject 001, with only his head and torso remaining!]

[Wang Dadong of the Gold Time Dimension: Whoa, Narcissist, you’re still alive!]

[Wang Yase: Thanks, I’ve been alive the whole time!]

[Silver Time Space Xiao Qiao: There really is a twist, but he can’t really be considered human like this, right?]

[That’s right, it’s Ling Feng, who chose to blow himself up to take that wretched woman down with him back then.]

[At this moment, his face was twisted and hideous, his skin a strange greenish-gray, and his eyes hollow and lifeless. His once handsome appearance was gone, replaced by the nauseating look of a Zombie.]

[Illusion Time-Space: Blech! Didn’t you see the Ju Chong wriggling in that rotting body?]

[Sun Shang Xiang from Silver Space: If you hadn’t said anything, we wouldn’t have looked that closely, okay?!]

[Tong Time Space Evil Girl Group: We don’t even dare to look!]

[Thinking back to the beginning, Ling Feng resolutely detonated the powerful energy within his body, thinking he would be reduced to ashes.]

[But who could have expected that because he possessed multiple Special Abilities and was exceptionally powerful, he miraculously preserved his head and torso in that destructive self-explosion.]

[Iron Time-Space A Kou: Exactly how many types of Special Abilities did he have?]

[Iron Time Space Jiu Wu: This isn’t a living person at all!]

[Thus, he lingered in this terrifying form among the ruins, becoming the lowest-Rank Zombie here.]

[Iron Time Dimension Xia Liu: Didn’t you see it say he’s a Zombie?]

[Duan Chang Ren: So, a living corpse?]

[Since Zombies are special creatures that don’t need to eat like normal life to survive, but if they want to increase their Rank, they must consume blood and flesh as an energy source.]

[Xia Yu from Iron Space: Does that mean increasing his Rank will make him like a human again?]

[Silver Time-Space Cao Cao: Then wouldn’t it be hard to distinguish between humans and Zombies?]

[Jie Ke from Copper Time Dimension: Are you guys ignoring the fact that Zombies eat raw meat?!]

[!!!!!]

[Poor Ling Feng was now in such a predicament: not only was his body unable to move, but even his originally powerful Special Abilities had been completely wiped out in the previous self-explosion, causing him to fall to the lowest-Rank Zombie.]

[The current Ling Feng had already lost the clear consciousness he once possessed as a human; all that remained was the feeding instinct of a Zombie.]

[The intense hunger hit his nerves like a tide, as if a voice was roaring madly in the depths of his mind—must eat!]

[However, looking around, there was nothing but other Zombies like himself; he couldn’t find any blood or flesh (meaning humans) to fill his stomach.]

[Jin Bao San from Gold Space: Eating people?!]

[Ding Xiaoyu: Once a human, now a Zombie eating people to evolve? How pitiful and tragic!]

[So, Ling Feng began to growl incessantly, emitting a series of hair-raising and incomprehensible sounds.]

[These sounds were the unique language of Zombies. If translated into words humans could understand, they could be roughly interpreted as ”Roar! Roar! Roar!”—meaning ”Eat! Hungry!”]

[Just then, the camera suddenly shifted, and the scene switched to another city.]

[A group of Ability Users were seen traveling together to search for food.]

[It had been a full seven years since the Apocalypse descended upon the Blue Star.]

[This sudden disaster caused the plants, animals, geological structures, and even water resources on Earth to be eroded and contaminated by a mysterious, unknown energy.]

[Under this influence, plants and animals mutated one after another, the land became unsuitable for farming, and the water sources were so heavily polluted they couldn’t be drunk directly!]

[In such a difficult environment, people had searched through almost everything that could possibly be edible.]

[Illusion Time-Space: This is too miserable. With no food, what are ordinary people supposed to do?]

[Wood Time-Space: No need to think about it; there’s simply no way to survive unless protected by an Ability User!]

[Because of this, those with Wood-type Special Abilities (capable of stimulating plant growth), Water-type Special Abilities (purifying contaminated water and producing water), and Space-type Special Abilities (storing large amounts of supplies) became highly sought-after individuals.]

[Iron Time-Space A Kou: Does our Twelve Time Spaces have Special Abilities like that? Wood-type? Stimulating plants? Water-type producing and purifying water?]

[Iron Time Space Jiu Wu: Probably not. At least I haven’t tried. I have the Original Special Ability of Rain; does that count as water?]

[In this world full of crises and mysterious powers, Space-type Ability Users possessed an enviable ability—the capacity to store large amounts of food.]

[And as their strength continued to grow, this Special Ability would even derive powerful destructive force, becoming a feared presence on the battlefield!]

[Silver Time-Space Sun Ce: This kind of ability is practically killing without a trace!]

[Those exceptionally gifted and powerful Ability Users would, without exception, be warmly recruited by various powerful teams and their own bases.]

[However, for ordinary Ability Users, life was not so easy.]

[Every day, they had to take huge risks to step out of their homes and search everywhere for those pitifully scarce food resources.]

[Duan Chang Ren: No matter which world it is, ordinary people always have it the hardest!]

[At this moment, this team was standing in an empty supermarket, facing shelves that were almost completely bare, everyone’s faces filled with worry.]

[Suddenly, an ordinary team member spoke up, breaking the silence: ”Brother Mu, we’ve searched everywhere here, and there’s simply nothing edible left. How about... we try that place?”]

[The man called Brother Mu was the leader of this team.]

[He was also frowning deeply. After his gaze swept across the empty supermarket, he asked in confusion, ”Which place are you talking about?”]

[A short boy next to him quickly chimed in: ”I know! It’s that base that turned into ruins a year ago! I heard they used to have plenty of supplies there.”]

[Copper Time Dimension: Isn’t that where Ling Feng blew himself up? Even if there’s food, they probably can’t eat it, right?]

[Hearing this, Brother Mu’s expression instantly became solemn. He shook his head and said firmly, ”No, we absolutely cannot go there. Although food is indeed hard to find here, at least the number of Zombies here has become very small after several clean-ups, so our safety is somewhat guaranteed.”]

[Silver Space Huang Zhong: I’m curious what high-Rank Zombies look like?]

[Ming of the Iron Time Dimension: Stronger, and more like humans!]

[Then, he added: ”Besides, think about it. Since the accident at that ruined base, no one has dared to approach it. You can figure it out with your toes—there must be Zombies everywhere there, and maybe even high-Rank Zombies. If we rashly barge in, wouldn’t we just be delivering ourselves to the Zombies as snacks?!”]

[Hao Jiaqi from Gold Space: Humans have become food; it’s really...]

[Silver Time Space Xiao Qiao: Just thinking about it makes me want to puke!]

[The thin and haggard ordinary member who spoke first frowned tightly and shouted at Brother Mu with a face full of reluctance: ”Brother Mu, we can’t just sit here and wait for death! If we keep failing to find food, it won’t be long before everyone starves to death!”]

[As he spoke, he waved his hand weakly, as if trying to dispel the growing sense of panic in his heart.]

[Hearing this, someone nearby echoed, ”That’s right, Brother Mu, we have to think of something quickly!”]

[For a moment, everyone’s eyes turned to Brother Mu, who was standing in the middle of the crowd.]

[Brother Mu lowered his head slightly and remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.]

[After a while, he looked up. A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but at the same time, a trace of interest appeared.]

[At this point, another person suddenly suggested, ”Don’t we still have Xiao Lizi in our team? She can disguise herself as a Zombie! Why not let her go out and look for food?”]

[Tong Time Space Evil Girl Group: This person is so bad, making a girl go look for food!]

[Silver Time-Space Zhou Yu: It’s a matter of necessity. Looking at them, Zombies seem very difficult to deal with, and we haven’t seen any high-Rank Zombies yet!]

[As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s eyes instantly focused on the girl named Xiao Lizi in the team.]

[Sha Jie: What a bunch of losers, the whole team is counting on a girl to find food for them!]

[Wang Yase: That girl will definitely agree.]

[Silver Time-Space Zhou Yu: Because her Special Ability has no offensive power. For a girl to survive until now in the Apocalypse, besides her own value, it’s because someone is protecting her!]
