Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 122

Chapter 122 The Origin of the Zombie Virus

At this point, the people still didn’t know it, but this day was destined to be etched in their memories forever

. They woke from nightmares, their faces trembling with fear at the mere mention of it. A hundred-meter-long blue whale soared in the sky, its eyes rolled back, its body covered in blood. Curious, many looked up, calling friends and snapping photos with their phones, creating a cacophony of noise.

In his previous life, Luo Zhu had been awakened by the noise outside. He opened the window to see the soaring blue whale, which led to the zombie fish biting him.

“Look, that whale’s mouth is gaping!” someone exclaimed.

The blue whale opened its mouth to a ninety-degree angle, and countless zombie fish burst out, like a rain of fish pouring down on the vast city.

The zombie fish also had thin wings, but they couldn’t fly, only gliding. From

a thousand meters high, the zombie fish glided and roared towards the city, rows of sharp teeth bared, biting anyone in sight.

Seeing this terrifying change, people fled in panic.

Those bitten didn’t immediately transform into zombies. They felt pain, then a daze, a state of confusion and unconsciousness. They instinctively followed the crowd, fleeing for the safest possible place.

Ten minutes passed before they were completely transformed into zombies.

By then, the zombies were in shopping malls, supermarkets, schools, underground garages, and other places.

“What’s wrong with you?” Many people took shelter in nearby supermarkets, noticing a peculiar expression on their companions’ faces.

Their now-zombie companions opened their bloody mouths and bit frantically.

“Ah! He’s crazy!”

“Hurry, grab him!”

The crowd quickly subdued the zombie, but too many people had already been bitten.

It took ten minutes for those bitten to transform into zombies, turning the entire supermarket into a zombie hunting ground, leaving few survivors.

A family of three hid in a private bathroom cubicle, huddled together, trembling.

The wife, still dazed, whispered, “Are you alright?”

Snap.

A bloody hand clung to the door, straining its head to peer through the ten-centimeter crack. The angle prevented it from seeing inside, but it seemed to sense someone inside and began groping around on the ground.

The three people’s hearts nearly leaped from their throats at the sight.

Fortunately, they were standing close to the door, and the zombie, after searching for a while without finding its target, gave up and left.

Phew—

the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, their bodies relaxed. The youngest daughter looked up and saw a zombie clinging to the door, gazing down at them from above with a strange smile.

“Ah— “

…

Similar scenes were playing out in many places. People, fearfully avoiding zombies, would still be found by the elusive zombies.

The windows of Luo Ying’s house were boarded up, and Luo Ying could only observe the outside through the specially left slit.

“Don’t look anymore,”

Luo Ying heard Jiang Li’s dissuasion, and dejectedly covered the last crack. Yes, what was there to see? The more she saw, the more powerless she felt.

If he were still the Shadow King… wouldn’t he be able to save some people even if he was only at the first level?

Luo Zhu only had a minor cold, easily treatable. Luo Ying followed Jiang Li’s instructions and pressed a few acupuncture points, and Luo Zhu recovered.

On TV, the female host was explaining the incident.

“Dear viewers, for unknown reasons, several coastal cities have witnessed blue whales flying towards this spectacle. Fish emerging from the whale’s mouth are highly contagious. Infected people will show varying degrees of madness and biting symptoms after ten minutes. Medical experts say this may be caused by some unknown virus, and further research is needed.”

The female host’s background showed the city experiencing the zombie crisis, but it was mosaicked to avoid appearing too terrifying.

Someone handed the female host a piece of paper. She quickly glanced at it and said happily, “News has come from above: mechanized troops have been dispatched to support the affected cities. We believe this natural disaster will be contained soon. Let’s wait and see.”

“We urge the public to close doors and windows, stay home, and wait for rescue.”

Luo Ying heard the female host say this and whispered, “It’s useless. The army has no idea how powerful the fourth-order zombies are. They are invincible.”

After Luo Zhu recovered, her mind became much clearer. Through the conversation between her brother and Jiang Li, as well as the events on television and through the cracks in the window, she quickly realized what the world was about to face.

She thanked Jiang Li first, then, with a pale face, asked her brother, “Are zombies really that scary?”

Luo Ying wanted to say they weren’t scary, but the words couldn’t come out.

“Give me time, the zombies wouldn’t be a problem, but time is what I lack most right now.”

With nothing else to do, Luo Ying slowly recounted the events of his previous life, from his school being overrun by zombies and his narrow escape to his army being annihilated by zombie whales. Then, humanity discovered the magical power of brain cores and unlocked a system of enhancers. Then, as the country fell and survival zones were established across the country, decimated by the zombie tidal wave, reducing their number to just five. Finally, he assembled humanity’s strongest warriors to tackle the zombie crisis in the deep sea, only to be ambushed and reborn.

Luo Ying’s ten-year apocalyptic journey was filled with twists and turns. He narrowly escaped death, met friends, formed a small team, joined a survival zone, encountered a zombie

tidal wave, and ultimately, was the only one left alive… In the apocalypse, one loses more than one gains, and this was no different for Luo Ying. Throughout this journey, he grew stronger, ultimately becoming the “Shadow King.”

Luo Zhu and Fan Tianta were captivated by his story. Luo Zhu experienced his brother’s danger firsthand, while Fan Tianta wondered how even the weak could experience such a situation.

“If it weren’t for that alien spaceship that came from nowhere, there wouldn’t be this zombie crisis!” Luo Ying said fiercely.

Speaking of this, Brahma Tower had a lot to say. It had traveled the starry sea and knew a lot.

“In fact, your planet is probably the last place where living things survive,” Brahma Tower said, startling Luo Ying and Luo Zhu.

“I’ve been to many planets, and there aren’t any living animals, only zombies. On some planets, even the zombies are fighting among themselves, and ultimately, only two zombies remain on the entire planet, both level six.”

According to the description of the Brahma Tower, the universe is full of zombies, and this planet is the last infected place. Luo Ying and Luo Zhu were stunned by what they heard.

“Where did the first zombies come from?” Jiang Li asked. He always felt that the zombie virus revealed a weird smell.

“The zombies I found that are suspected to be the first are on a planet with the most advanced technology in the universe. They have initially mastered the technology of space jump. Zombies appeared on that planet a thousand years ago, and it fell quickly.”

“A thousand…”

Jiang Li pondered. It was a coincidence that nine thousand years had passed in Jiuzhou, and only one thousand years had passed in this world. In other words, a thousand years ago, the immortal ladder of this world also disappeared.

The zombie virus might have been created by the extraterritorial demons!

“Immortal Master, can the fragments of the immortal ladder make the world go back a thousand years?” Jiang Li called out to Immortal Master Changcun again.

“…Are you dreaming?”
