[I'm just wondering… can a zombie set up a big tent?]

[Pupa: …. ]

[…]

[Pupa: The settlement is the biggest settlement in this region, it is called the Duran City. Ru Lan is a fairly young president, since he is only thirty years old now. But he is indeed the strongest ability user in Duran City. Probably also one of the strongest in the entire nation.]

[You are avoiding my question! I can read all that background myself!]

[Pupa: You shameless perverted host! How could you come up with that question!?]

[I mean, aren't you curious? They said that a dead man usually has his manhood stiff when they die… maybe the master of this world has a permanent big tent…]

[Pupa:…]

[You are also curious, aren't you? Hehe…]

Pupa stayed silent and then disappeared. It went to the headquarter to ask about more background checks about this important matter.

Yunyu returned with the group back to the city. The zombie apocalypse in this world has been happening for ten years already. At first, it was like a virus that spread through the air. The virus caused those who got infected with rapidly decaying bodies, and then vomited, in the end, the infected would get extreme convulsion until their body twisted and turned in horrible shape. At that point, they were dead already.

Then they would wake up from their death and would become a zombie, all that happened in only two days at most.

The cause of the virus was unknown, though some scientists theorized that one country developed the virus as a secret weapon, and it leaked, causing massive outbreak to all countries. In only two years, the whole world had been infected with this horrible disease.

Those with stronger immune systems would survive, some even starting to develop powerful ability as their gene mutated. While the unlucky ones turned into zombies. The virus could also infect animals, so no one was spared.

Yunyu sighed as he read the world background. It had been ten years since the start of the apocalypse, many technologies had been built to incorporate the new life of the one who survived. Although the number of those who survived were a lot less than who turned into zombies.

But humankind still carried on and survived.

After they arrived at Duran City, Yunyu was amazed by the city. It was a huge city surrounded by steel wall. The technology had been developed with the use of brain beads. Some brain beads were rich sources of fertilizer for plants, some had a great amount of electricity inside it to power up the generator, some even could be used as fuel for vehicles.

But, the trace of bleakness still remained. Poor people existed, those are the one without ability at all, they survived but they didn't have anything worthy to offer. And the riches were those with amazing ability power or had amazing connections.

On top of the ladder was Ru Lan. He was the son of a high ranking minister before the apocalypse started, and with him surviving while developing amazing power, his fate as the president of the city was fated.

Yunyu stepped down from the car and walked steadily to his office again on the highest floor of Duran Tower for the elites. Bi He was following him from behind, and then said, "President, you have to inspect the new soldiers, it seems that this year's batch has many potential ability users."

Ru Lan glanced at Bi He who was reading a report. This handsome, young man was really attractive, especially with those frameless glasses he wore. He blushed slightly when the President stared at him, it was obvious that Bi He liked Ru Lan.

[Ah, does Ru Lan ever have any interest with Bi He, or anyone at all?]

[Pupa: No, Ru Lan should've died because of exhaustion after too many uses of his power. He died single, loveless, but he was remembered as a hero, for a moment before the world was destroyed.]

[I'm starting to wonder if Ru Lan's overuse of power made him unable to set up a big tent, maybe that's why he doesn't have any interest…]

[Pupa: What's with you and big tent, is it really intriguing for you?]

[What's a man that can't set up a big tent?]

Yunyu coughed and nodded to Bi He, "Let's check it now."

Yunyu and Bi He went to the soldier ground to check the new batch of ability power users.

There were about fifty new ability users in the soldier ground. Those were people with actual ability to be utilized. They were not many, but with proper training, they could survive and protect the settlement, while fighting strong zombies to find better brain beads and more resources.

Ru Lan scanned the new ability users, then he said, "Show me your abilities."

One by one, they showed their abilities. Fire, Ice, flying, turning his body into metal, poisonous breath and many more. He assessed their station according to their ability, until it was the last guy's turn. He was surprisingly the same height as Ru Lan, which made him stand out.

He had a calm gaze, too calm that it made him intimidating. He had short hair, slightly tanned skin and his eyes were bright amber colored, it created an unsettling image. Although this guy was handsome, Yunyu's instinct told him not to play around with this guy.

The guy bowed towards President Ru and then said, "Greetings to President Ru, my name is Kai, twenty two years old, please test my ability!"

"Test your ability?" Yunyu asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"Please attack me," he replied shortly after, without any fear in his face. Everybody gasped when they heard this man's request, because President Ru's lightning power was horrifyingly strong, one attack might blow someone up.

"You might die," Yunyu warned. He knew that his power would definitely kill anyone in one attack. But the guy didn't seem to be scared, then he replied;

"My ability is to redirect attack," he said lightly, "I am one hundred percent sure that President Ru's attack won't kill me."

Yunyu stared at this warily. With that amount of confidence, this guy surely had certain capability, "Alright then, I shall proceed."

"P—President—" Bi He tried to prevent this, because it would be a problem if President Ru killed a new recruit. But President Ru only replied with, "I will use as little power as possible, prepare your healing power in case he got injured."

Yunyu pointed his little finger at this guy called Kai, slowly, blitzes of lighting appeared at the end of his little finger, in a split second, a small sized laser shot towards Kai.

Kai's eyes peered at the laser, he pointed his little finger against the laser, just like what President Ru did.

Everyone expected the laser beam to pierce through this guy's heart, but they were shocked when the laser beam suddenly stopped in front of Kai. Kai's little finger shook gently, which also surprised Kai a bit, but soon, he targeted the metal door near him.

The laser beam from President Ru had been successfully redirected to the metal door, and it pierced the metal door easily, which proved that President Ru's small fraction of power was still considered as extremely strong for regular ability users.

Kai smirked mockingly at President Ru, and then he glanced at Bi He who was also shocked by his power. Kai smiled at Bi He gently and said, "Vice President Bi is indeed as handsome as what they said."

Yunyu glanced at Bi He, and then at Kai. He asked the system;

[That is Ling Kai, the Zombie king, right?]

[Pupa: Indeed, he also infiltrates the city by posing as a soldier like this in the original world. He is the only zombie with the brain function identical to a regular man. But he also gained mutation on his body, his real ability is that he can use all possible mutated abilities and mastered all of them effectively.]

[Pupa, what is Ling Kai's Breakmeter and Fatemeter.]

[Pupa: Breakmeter 15%. Fatemeter -10%.]
