"Not feeling well?"

"Could it be a gunshot to the head?"

Chunan ate the fried egg, dismissing their concerns.

There were continuous gunshots downstairs just now. It was estimated that the group of people there had several guns.

It was normal for a few zombies to die after so many shots. After all, they were only high-level zombies, while there were more than eight hundred downstairs. It wouldn't matter if a few of them died!

Zombies were different from humans. Unless they were shot in the forehead, otherwise, getting shot in other parts of the body was no different from scratching an itch.

"It doesn't seem like it!"

"I didn't see any gunshot wounds on his head."

"He looks... more like he's sick!"

Lin Qingya thought for a moment before saying.

"Sick?"

"How could a zombie get sick?"

Chunan shook his head in amusement. In his previous life, he had never heard of zombies getting sick.

However, despite not fully believing it, he still planned to go down and take a look at this strange situation.

So, after eating a few more bites to fill his stomach, he went downstairs.

However, when he saw the so-called "sick" zombie, he was immediately stunned and left speechless.

This wasn't sickness at all, it was clearly evolving to a higher level!

And this evolved zombie was none other than the highest-level Corpse King!

He seemed to know that he was about to evolve to a higher level, so he lay down in a corner.

He curled up his massive body, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep, not moving at all!

"He's evolving into a Corpse King!"

"Don't disturb it!"

Chunan suppressed his excitement and instructed the others.

In the previous life, the first Corpse King was born half a year after the outbreak of the apocalypse.

By that time, there were already many powerful awakened individuals among the humans, so when the Corpse King suddenly appeared in Pujiang, the humans didn't worry too much.

However, in this life, it had been less than ten days since the end of the world, and a Corpse King had already appeared. If this news spread, it would surely shock the world.

In the previous life, even three years after the end of the world, the Corpse Kings were still terrifying beings!

Because they had bronze skin and iron bones, they were not afraid of any conventional weapons. Not only that, they also possessed powerful attack capabilities.

With their hands, they could tear tanks in half, and with one punch, they could demolish a building!

In addition, they could develop new intelligence and their speed far surpassed that of humans!

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Today, although the armored vehicles and combat robots had been almost completely destroyed, he had obtained a Corpse King.

It could be considered a guaranteed profit!

In the previous life, within three years of the apocalypse, Pujiang experienced two major catastrophes!

One was the Zombie Tide!

The other was the Beast Tide!

The Zombie Tide was launched by several Corpse Kings. At that time, the Pujiang awakened individuals suffered heavy losses!

The second Beast Tide was launched by several Beast Kings!

At that time, Pujiang City was filled with flying birds and ferocious beasts!

Many surviving humans hid in underground garages to escape the disaster!

During these two catastrophes, only Shuai Biao and Chicken with Four Eyes didn't suffer any losses.

One awakened the bloodline of an ancient ancestor and could command zombies, while the other awakened the bloodline of an ancient dragon ancestor and could command beasts!

Now, he had taken Shuai Biao's opportunity and awakened the bloodline of an ancient ancestor. Next, it would be Chicken with Four Eyes' turn!

According to legend, Chicken with Four Eyes fled to the Feilong Mountain outside the city a few days after the apocalypse began. There, he found a fruit that looked like a crystal in a pool of white dragon saliva.

After eating it, he awakened the bloodline of an ancient dragon ancestor.

However, it was still too early. It wouldn't hurt to wait a few more days!

"Hmm?"

Just as Chunan was instructing the women to get ready to go upstairs, he noticed that another zombie had undergone a tremendous change.

His originally grayish face had turned pale, and a faint golden color appeared on his skin.

Clearly, he had also evolved to the level of a Corpse King, the same level as Da Jun yesterday.

He was just one step away from becoming a Corpse King!

Chunan vividly remembered that he was one of the eight high-level zombies from yesterday!

When he arrived yesterday, he was at most a C-level zombie. After last night's and today's blood feasts, he should have evolved to an A-level, or even an S-level!

"Why is the evolution so fast?"

Chunan looked at him, puzzled.

Da Jun evolved directly into a Corpse King because he had consumed Xu Zhiwu, an awakened individual. To zombies, awakened individuals were like a delicacy, providing great nourishment!

However, why did this zombie evolve so quickly?

"Could it be that among the thirty-something people today, in addition to Xu Zhiwu, there is another awakened individual?"

Suddenly, Chunan thought of a possibility!

Apart from that, he couldn't think of any other reasonable explanation!

"If only we could hunt down more awakened individuals!"

Chunan stroked his chin, his eyes gleaming with interest.

The flesh and blood of awakened individuals were many times more nutritious than those of ordinary humans. One had already allowed Da Jun to evolve into a Corpse King. If they could get a few more, he would have more Corpse Kings under his command!

At this thought, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

...

"How many applications do we have now?"

In the conference room of Dehui Pharmaceutical Company outside Pujiang City, a large group of people sat, with four strangely dressed men at the forefront.

"Fifty-nine so far!"

"But when we contacted them just now, one named Xu Zhiwu couldn't be reached."

One of the men wearing a blue work uniform glanced at the computer screen and said.

"Too few!"

"There are far more awakened individuals in Pujiang than just fifty-nine!"

The white-haired youth shook his head, frowning.

"That's right, according to my calculations, there are no fewer than a hundred survivors' shelters in Pujiang!"

"There is at least one awakened individual in each shelter!"

"Based on this estimation, there should be at least a hundred awakened individuals in Pujiang alone!"

"And these are just the shelters that have been listed online!"

"There are many shelters that haven't been listed online, and there are definitely awakened individuals among them!"

Another man with a birthmark on his face said.

To be precise, the birthmark was located on both cheeks!

With his breath, those two birthmarks would expand and contract, looking extremely strange.

"It seems that most of the awakened individuals do not believe in the four of us!"

The white-haired youth supported his chin with his hand, his eyes flashing with a ferocious light.

"Let's focus on establishing the guild first!"

"After these fifty-plus awakened individuals join our group, we can have a big sweeping operation!"

"At that time, those more than a hundred shelters will either submit and obey our commands, or die!"

"Soon, the whole Pujiang will become our territory!"

One of the four men, a young man covered in scales, said.

Scales covered his arms, feet, and even his face.

Not only that, his eyes were like lizard eyes, a brownish-yellow color!

"Four bosses, Mr. John is here!"

Just then, a security guard holding an automatic rifle entered the room, followed by a blond European man.

"Mr. John, why are you here?"

The status and position of the blond man seemed very high. The four who had just been bossy immediately stood up in a flurry of respect.
