581 Zombies

Ning stepped back and looked at the girl closely. Indeed, it didn’t look like she had it all together at all. Her skin was fully decomposed with skeletons showing through most of it.

Even then, she somehow managed to growl and come towards Ning with the slow speed of a snail and the hunger of a beast that hadn’t eaten in days.

Ning quickly got rid of her arms from his own arm and then kept the girl back through telekinesis.

“Zombies? Seriously? You brought me to a planet full of zombies?” Ning asked with confusion and annoyance in his voice.

“Goddammit, I hate zombies. You probably don’t know because you had disabled yourself, but I have been through such a thing before too. And let me tell you, I did not like it at all,” Ning said.

“Tsk!” Ning said and pushed the girl back. “What do I do now? Leave?” he asked.

“Oh,” Ning said. The system never really asked for his help, did it? The only time it did was when there was a system or something like that involved.

“Wait, was this caused by some sort of system?” Ning asked with a curious voice.

“Hmm… then who do you want me to help?” Ning asked before looking toward the woman in front of her.

“It can’t be this zombie, right? It’s already dead from what I can see,” Ning said. Then, he realized something.

“Oh, there must be people hidden all around the world then. Do they need my help?” Ning asked. He could imagine the people living in fear of the zombies outside.

With how strong these zombies were, Ning was sure that if they did come out of hiding, a normal human would simply die.

Ning waited for the system to say yes before asking how he could help these people.

However, the system didn’t say what he thought he would hear.

Ning’s face fell in shock.

“What?” he asked. “Everyone is dead?”

Ning unintentionally scratched his forehead as he asked, “What do you mean?”

“Which means… as long as these zombies are alive, the souls won’t be able to go through the reincarnation cycle, right?” Ning asked.

“So… is there really no one alive?” Ning asked. “What about beasts and plants? Those have to have souls too right?”

Ning shook his head. “Alright, what can I do? How should I help them?” Ning asked.

Ever since he reincarnated, he never really denied someone the help they needed. He wasn’t going to stop doing that now.

“I see,” Ning said. “You won’t disappear on me because I kill some innocent soul now, will you?”

Ning joked a little, but the system still answered him.

“Sigh, you didn’t have to answer that,” Ning said as he called out his spear from his storage and cut the woman in front of him in two.

“Is that enough or do I have to do something else?” Ning asked.

“I see,” Ning said and looked at the woman. He had cut her a little to below the chest. So, with a single slash of his spear, he finished the job.

Then, Ning walked out of the building into the desolate road with rocks and debris all around the place.

Ning sighed and looked at the group of zombies that seemed to have noticed him.

“Oh, I won’t have to walk to them,” Ning said and suddenly caused a very large sound from his body.

His energy dwindled a little as the loud sound spread throughout the city.

He scratched his cheeks as he waited for the zombies to hear him and come toward him.

Soon, there were many.

Ning slashed a few of them, but he quickly realized that he couldn’t go on like this.

Air Cutter spread out from in front of him as it carved its way through the many necks in the crowd.

Ning finished the ones that weren’t properly cut.

Once that was done, Ning made another loud sound and waited, but no one came.

‘Is that it for the city?’ he thought.

“Sigh, how many more zombies are there to go through?” he asked. 𝗈𝗏𝓵xt.𝑐𝑶𝑀

“What the hell? That’s going to take such a long time,” Ning complained. “Dammit, can’t they kill themselves or something? They look pretty excited about that.”

“In the first place, how did so many people even end up becoming zombies?” he asked while scratching his thigh.

“An Alien virus?” Ning asked with surprise.
