“Truly a born killer,” Jiang Li remarked.

Luo Ying had wandered the post-apocalyptic world for ten years, completely unfazed by the zombies.

But Luo Zhu was different. Having grown up in the peace era, all it took was a few tips from Luo Ying on how to quickly defeat zombies, plus a couple of practice rounds, and she learned how to effortless behead them.

She remained unfazed even in the face of blood and corpses, as if they did not affect her in any way.

And that is why Jiang Li made that remark.

Luo Zhu extracted a first-order brain core from the body of the athletic teacher who had turned into a first-order zombie.

“The noise just now attracted quite a few zombies,” said Jiang Li, appearing like a ghost behind Luo Ying, surprising their teacher and the rest of their classmates.

The noise he mentioned wasn’t from killing the zombies, but from the screams of the students.

Luo Ying and Luo Zhu separated, heading for the two exits of the corridor. Invoking the Immovable Ming King Law, they swiftly beheaded the zombies, their heads falling like raindrops.

All the zombies in the teaching building were eradicated by the sibling duo.

They had achieved all this merely on the strength of the first level of Qi Cultivation Stage, even though they weren’t enhanced beings yet.

Once the zombies were all taken care of, the siblings returned to the classroom.

“Thank you,” said their teacher, amazed by the drastic transformation of these unassuming students.

Luo Ying accepted the brain core handed over by his sister.

“This is called a brain core. It contains an energy known as Spiritual Energy, which can make someone stronger,” Luo Ying explained, demonstrating to their classmates how to become enhanced beings, knowing that he couldn’t always be around to protect them.

“Imagine an invisible hand extending from your body, drawing out the

Spiritual Energy from the brain core, and infusing it into your body.”

Their teacher and classmates watched as a few strands of blue gas emerged from the brain core, flowing into Luo Ying’s body.

A faint crackling sound echoed within Luo Ying’s body, signaling the augmentation of his muscles and bones, and the healing of his internal injuries.

“A sensation I have missed,” he murmured, gripping his fists and sensing his power, becoming the first enhanced being in this era.

By the way, the first one to reach the Qi Cultivation Stage was Luo Zhu.

“Mr. Jiang, could you help check how many first-order zombies are left in the school?”

“Four, located in…”

It takes many humans to evolve from a regular zombie into a first-order one, and the school, naturally full of humans, is a hotspot for such evolution.

“I’ll be right back,” Luo Ying declared, rising from his seat after hearing Jiang Li’s location report.

Shortly after, Luo Ying returned with four brain cores, handing one to Luo Zhu.

Luo Zhu easily became the second enhanced being, having been taught repeatedly the necessary precautions by her brother.

Luo Ying handed the remaining brain cores to their teacher and two well-behaved classmates, teaching them how to become enhanced beings. There were other survivors in the building, but Luo Ying didn’t know them well. He couldn’t simply pick someone at random to transform into an enhanced being, in case they turned out to be cowardly, selfish, or greedy, thereby wasting the brain core.

Luo Ying gave some advice, suggesting to wrap textbooks around their bodies, secured with tape to prevent scratches from zombies. He then reminded the three enhanced beings that they had a certain degree of resistance to the zombie virus and wouldn’t be infected by regular zombies. They could clear the school of zombies and establish a base in the school, gathering supplies from the vicinity.

This was the safest course of action. They had no need to worry about attacks from first-order zombies since the siblings would clear the entire city of all first-order zombies.

As the Luo siblings prepared to leave, one of the classmates, feeling safe around them, called out, “Won’t you stay and protect us?”

Luo Ying left without answering.

“What’s with the act?” The abrupt onset of the apocalypse left some still struggling to adapt, believing that being classmates made no difference.

The teacher responded coldly, “Does Luo Ying owe you something, that he should stay and protect you?” “But aren’t we classmates? Shouldn’t we help each other?”

“Didn’t he just help you?”

“Of course when you help someone, you should go all the way. If I had his power, I would definitely stay to protect everyone,” retorted the student, although well aware he wouldn’t be as strong as Luo Ying.

The teacher ruthlessly exposed his lie: “I thought you would go save your family.”

He was lost for words, knowing that if he became an enhanced being, he would indeed choose to abandon everyone else to save his parents.

In a peaceful environment, the teacher wouldn’t have been so harsh, but having witnessed the army’s defeat and the emergence of enhanced beings, she realized the peace era had ended and the age had changed. She had to correct her students’ naive ideas. If anyone harbored the same perceptions as the student earlier, it was surely to lead to substantial trouble in the future.

Turning to the other students, the teacher admonished solemnly, “Students, times have changed. Don’t harbor naive expectations for others to risk their lives to save us. We can only stand on our own, strengthen ourselves, and thus survive.”

“Now us three enhanced beings will lead a rescue operation for survivors in the building, eliminate zombies, and establish a safe zone in the teaching building.”

Presently, first-order zombies were scarce, appearing only in densely populated areas like supermarkets, hospitals, and schools. At Jiang Li’s directions, the siblings took the shortest route to clear out these first-order zombies.

At this stage, however, the siblings couldn’t absorb so many brain cores. So, they located some makeshift civilian rescue organizations, gave the brain cores to their leaders to help them become enhanced beings, and taught them about the brain cores, enhanced beings, and zombies.

Three months later, the Zombie Whales returned to the ocean, while a large number of cities lay in ruins. The existence of enhanced beings became widely known. Many countries and corporations sourced immense manpower and resources, drove zombies out of ravaged cities, and established safe zones, continually reinforcing and thickening the walls.

Enduring the grief of losing loved ones, people began rebuilding their homes.

All safe zones formed their own rescue teams to clear out zombies around the safe zones and conduct rescue operations in surrounding areas.

Once, countries grappled with overpopulation leading to resource shortages. Now, population had become the most important resource.

Population meant strength. It meant the ability to eliminate more zombies, improve the construction system of the safe zones, and expand the safe zones.

Meanwhile, people also became aware of enhanced beings and the power of individuals.

Enhanced beings were talents coveted by all safe zones. The safe zones would promise various benefits – women, food, power – everything could be given, just to attract enhanced beings.

And speaking of the most coveted enhanced beings by all safe zones, none could compare with the Luo siblings, who were always surrounded by ghostly illusions..
