Chapter 1 Aftermath

Charles calendar (CC) year 124, in a certain forest

A throbbing pain in the head, and ears ringing

Xiao Yan frowned, pressing his hand on his forehead, soers He opened his eyes to look closely, it's blood

Suddenly, he heard a terrifying screa beside him

Following the sound, Xiao Yan saw his class out of his eyes, and his wide-opened mouth could not speak a word

Only then, Xiao Yan recalled

Their aircraft had crashed during their first exploration in a virgin forest, due to invasion on the pilot's brain, causing his coement, where he even failed to alter the aircraft control to manual mode

The huge i caused Xian Yan to bu to a short moment of unconsciousness

By the ti fear on everyone’s face, including the two seniors beside him who are usually placid

Xiao Yan’s side of thelanded on the ground, he could not see a thing

And when he turned his head to the other side of the aircraft, he froze

Countless zo aggressively on the s, as if they will unbar everything and barge in anyti they see into their abdomen

”Ah… They’re zombies! Zombies! What should we do!?”

”Pilots! Try restarting the system……”

Theup their newly-hunted flesh, flinged a head onto theglass

Flesh was gone fro its eerie white skull and hollow eye sockets, leaving a se of red on the

The head is then grabbed by a zombie, stuffed into its mouth, and crunch

It lass, together with the mixture of yellow sobr and blood between its teeth, just a look of it causes nausea

The ”food” was once a pilot

”AH——!” a young apprentice by the ent hysterical

”Stop screa! The sound will excites them even more!”

The captain in charge this inspection glared at the apprentice He is now the only one re rational

Pushi+ng away the safety equipesture for silence

”As everyone knows, our aircraft had crashed And worse, the cockpit is daed Not only did we lose two pilots, but also the possibility to restart the aircraft to depart froround But fortunately, this door stands between the cockpit and the cabin we are in, these zoh to breakthrough this door”

This is because they are only Level Zero, the type of zombies that exist as hter mindlessly, but their mobility are close to human, aside from their ability to heal swiftly

Captain White's words gradually soothed the anxiety of the apprentices

”We have a total of 12 people, and calculating froen reaction device within this cabin can last for another six hours And in this six hours, everyone, refrain froen consumption If we are lucky, research base ation after noticing they have lost contact with our aircraft, then ill have the chance to survive Is everyone clear?”

All of the and kept quiet

Most of the to work as a researcher in theCharles City was for internshi+p

Xiao Yan sighed quietly Calculating froen reaction device was activated, the oxygen can only last for another three hours at the most

Captain White lied, but at the saave them hope

daht be his last day If only he knew, he would have pushed his class her froood time!

The apprentices sitting by thecan only have their eyes closed The cabin is highly soundproofed, so they could not hear the sound of the zo on the bulkhead, nor can they hear their monstrous roar

However, with just one look at the , one will have a sleepless night

Or, whether they are able to survive through tonight is still unknown

Xiao Yan was silently counting

One, two, three…… three thousand six hundred……

An hour passed, the Special Task Forces has yet to arrive

Fro their location, if an hour is still insufficient, perhaps the base does not have plan to send someone for rescue

Xiao Yan sot a ”B” in the acaderade test If this aircraft are filled with Class A students, he reckons the Special Task Forces would have arrived long ago After all, talents are the most valuable resources

The te, and the apprentices started unfastening their collars

This , perhaps, they may not even last for two hours

”Maybe we should open the door…… and escape……”

”Are you kidding! I would rather suffocate here than to be torn apart out there!”

”But……”

”There's are no buts, waiting for rescue is the only right choice When you have the door ajar, you won't even have the time for a breathe of fresh air, the door will be thrust open by zombies”

After listening to Captain White's words, the cabin fell into dead silence

The air was getting thinner, and it is clear that everyone was having difficulty in breathing

Death was closing in, step by step

Tiine was heard fro conscious woke up, staring blankly from the

A flash of sharp edge of a blade, was all they can see Followed by zo cut into pieces, with their brownall over the place A zolass, leading to a ridiculous screa by the

Captain White let out a long sigh

”It's…… the Special Task Forces……”

This, is an exciting news, even though they no longer have the stamina for excitement

Xiao Yan's losing sense cleared up instantly

Through the , he saw a figure in black coold slit opened his vision, and before he could discern what he saw, three zoarbage, leaving a few repulsive traces on the

Special Task Forces is also known as Special Armed ForcesThe establishment of each base are inseparable from the extermination of zombies by this force

They are ruthless killers, cold killing-machines, but at the sa calamity

When the ”Comet” virus first erupted,atomic bombs, but this has resulted in more frenzied outbreaks of the virus after it absorbed the heat and nuclear radiation emitted from the atomic bomb
