Doomsday, Let's Open A Restaurant
Chapter 346: Improving the Strength of Zombies

Chapter 346: Improving the Strength of Zombies

It turned out they had been in a video conference the whole time.

All the previous conversation had been heard by the other side.

"Xiao Feng, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of every individual. Now that the nation is in crisis, I implore you to step forward and help us!"

Cheng Gong spoke to Xiao Feng in a humble tone.

As a national leader, it was unprecedented to lower oneself so much to an ordinary citizen.

But this also proved that Cheng Gong was a competent leader, a respected leader, and a compassionate leader.

"I’m not trying to morally blackmail you; I just hope you will seriously consider it."

Xiao Feng nodded, "I will communicate with the local zombie leaders, but as you know, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Without sufficient benefits, I doubt the zombies will act."

"They are not zombies with a sense of responsibility or patriotism!"

"Of course, they can make any demands they want. As long as we can fulfill them, we will meet their needs!"

Xiao Feng was not taking advantage of the situation; there truly is no free lunch in the world.

Zombies had already formed a cohesive system, and their unity and organization far surpassed that of humans.

Why had the zombies across the country all converged without the humans noticing?

Because they had their own hierarchical system and a unified language.

According to the zombie civilization manual Xiao Feng had, zombies were now a single race, with no distinction of skin color or language.

Powerful zombie leaders could make lesser zombies unconditionally submit.

If the foreign zombies, who came with such momentum, easily defeated the domestic zombies, then the over ten billion domestic zombies would be directly assimilated.

And the reason Xiao Feng agreed was actually because he had another purpose.

The invasion of zombies from all directions might not be a bad thing.

The powerful force of zombies had always been something Xiao Feng wanted to control. This invasion from all sides was an opportunity.

Back at the zombie restaurant, Xiao Feng immediately summoned Xiao Xiao.

Currently, all the zombie monsters he had created or synthesized were under Xiao Xiao’s command.

But to Xiao Feng’s regret, Xiao Xiao was still only at the tenth tier and had not advanced to the Profound Realm.

Given the imminent threat, it was likely that many of the incoming foreign zombies were in the Profound Realm.

Thus, before the zombie invasion, Xiao Xiao must advance to the Profound Realm.

Zombies seemed to have a sense of impending events as well.

When Xiao Xiao was summoned, he looked serious, "Godfather, the zombie hordes have been restless lately, as if something major is about to happen!"

"Zombies from across the country are converging in several groups toward China. The foreign zombies have unified, and their goal is to subjugate you!"

Xiao Xiao was a combination of Xiao Feng’s bloodline and a zombie.

During his growth, Xiao Feng had him learn about various human cultures around the world.

Xiao Xiao’s understanding of the world was even greater than Xiao Feng’s.

"China has the largest population in the world, and zombies are the most unified species. To achieve unification, China is a crucial battleground!"

Xiao Xiao fell into deep thought, contemplating the matter.

After a moment, he looked up at Xiao Feng, "I understand what you want to do, godfather!"

Xiao Feng looked at Xiao Xiao with satisfaction and nodded approvingly.

"But..."

Xiao Xiao hesitated.

"Our domestic zombies are not yet unified, and we have no Profound Realm zombies. We cannot handle the zombies from other countries!"

"Don’t worry about that. According to the marching routes of the foreign zombies, they still have at least a month’s journey before they reach our borders."

"I have promised the Chinese officials that zombies and humans will cooperate. We can request resources from the Chinese government to significantly enhance the zombies’ strength."

"Additionally..."

Xiao Feng produced a mysterious liquid.

[G Virus Essence]

"This is the virus element that caused the global zombie outbreak. It has great potential to enhance zombies’ strength."

"Select ten powerful zombies, and I will use the G Virus Essence to elevate you all to the Profound Realm!"

Thanks to Xiao Xiao’s extensive plundering of resources from ruined cities nationwide, Xiao Feng had accumulated a total of 108 milliliters of the virus essence.

Moreover, the G Virus Essence was diluted at a ratio of one to a thousand.

Under the premise of upgrading ten zombies to the Profound Realm, it could also significantly enhance the strength of more than eighty percent of the zombies.

"This is amazing!"

Xiao Xiao’s eyes lit up, and he spoke excitedly.

"Go prepare!"

"Yes!"

After Xiao Xiao left, Xiao Feng had a sudden flash of inspiration and thought of someone.

No, a zombie.

"Let me create another true zombie king, besides Xiao Xiao!"

Xiao Xiao’s strength lay in leadership, not combat.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Xiao Feng needed a backup plan.

Taking to the skies, Xiao Feng flew swiftly towards Sichuan.

In no time, he entered Sichuan’s territory.

Accompanying Xiao Feng was someone who was almost, but not quite, his wife, An Ran.

How to put it?

She was considered his wife because she had given birth to Xiao Xiao using her own blood.

But not really, because he hadn’t had a relationship with her.

An Ran looked no different from an ordinary person.

She had a ponytail, wore a teacher’s OL outfit, and all she was missing was a ruler in her hand.

She looked a lot like the teacher skin of Fiora from LOL.

Most importantly, she had somehow gotten herself a pair of glasses.

This enhanced her overall aura significantly.

Flying in the air with An Ran, Xiao Feng used his mental power to block the wind.

To keep it cool, he let a little breeze in.

The gentle breeze lifted An Ran’s bangs, and Xiao Feng couldn’t help but be mesmerized.

Due to the zombie infection, her eyes were as beautiful as if she were wearing colored contacts.

Sensing Xiao Feng’s gaze, An Ran turned to look at him.

Their eyes met, An Ran smiled slightly and instinctively leaned in closer.

Xiao Feng didn’t shy away, grabbing her right hand, then using his other hand to pull her into his embrace.

The softness of her skin transmitted through his hands, and Xiao Feng gently caressed her.

From her straight, tree-like legs to the twin peaks of her chest.

An Ran trembled slightly, her eyelashes fluttered, and she closed her eyes.

Xiao Feng lowered his head.

Her lips were cold.

The next moment, a small tongue snaked in.

Buttons, one, two, three...

At over three thousand meters in the air, under the cover of spiritual power, a pair of sky-bound lovers were trying unprecedented moves.

...

After entering Sichuan’s territory, Xiao Feng and An Ran landed.

Looking at An Ran, she nodded and then activated her skill.

[Teacher’s Command]

There were almost no zombies left in Sichuan.

After An Ran activated the Teacher’s Command, the surroundings were silent, with no zombies appearing.

Xiao Feng couldn’t help but feel disappointed and was about to try another place.

But at that moment, a shadow quickly rushed towards them.

Upon closer inspection, a chubby little zombie appeared before Xiao Feng.

**Chubby Zombie**: Level 10

**Skill**: Skip Class [Able to quickly escape when encountering danger]

...

Well, after all this time, the information was still impressively cool.

The chubby zombie was very fond of An Ran and, after being summoned, kept circling around her.

"Little Chubby, do you want something delicious to eat?"

Xiao Feng took out a pork knuckle and handed it over.

Seeing the pork knuckle, Little Chubby drooled.

"Mm! Mm! Mm!"

Little Chubby nodded repeatedly and immediately approached.

Xiao Feng handed over the pork knuckle, and Little Chubby took it with both hands, devouring it ravenously.

In no time, he finished the big pork knuckle.

"How was it? Tasty?"

"Tasty!"

Little Chubby’s hands were covered in grease, and he seemed a bit unsatisfied.

"Do you want more?"

"Yes!"

"If you want more, come with me. I’ll make sure you have plenty to eat every day!"

"Um..."

Little Chubby hesitated.

Although he had grown to level 10, his intelligence had returned to that of a child’s.

"And, you can stay with Teacher An anytime you want!"

Seeing how much Little Chubby liked An Ran, Xiao Feng had an idea.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Little Chubby nodded eagerly.

Xiao Feng wasn’t sure if he could catch Little Chubby with force.

After all, his "Skip Class" skill was no joke.

A little kid surviving until now, overcoming numerous dangers, indicated the skill’s potency.

What Xiao Feng needed to create a zombie king was this Little Chubby.

What he valued was Little Chubby’s "Skip Class" skill.

With this skill, after ensuring strong output, Little Chubby could be considered invincible.

If he couldn’t win, he’d run away. Who could stop him?

Returning to the zombie restaurant with Little Chubby, Xiao Xiao had already brought back all the major zombie leaders.

Upon looking, Shadow Bull Wolf, Two-Headed Zombie, Gluttonous Zombie, Giant Zombie, Green Zombie, Sharp Bone Zombie, were all present.

There were also some zombies Xiao Feng hadn’t seen before.

But from their large frames, it was evident they were formidable fighters.

Upon arriving at the zombie restaurant and seeing so many similar beings, Little Chubby became alert.

Previously, he had encountered many similar beings who wanted to eat him.

That’s why he stayed in a place without any people or zombies, not daring to go elsewhere.

"Don’t worry, they’re all on our side and won’t hurt you!"

An Ran, holding Little Chubby, reassured him.

Standing next to An Ran, Little Chubby seemed to feel an unprecedented sense of security.

Fulfilling his promise, Xiao Feng immediately laid out a table full of delicacies for Little Chubby.

All the food zombies loved.

Seeing this, Little Chubby no longer cared about danger and started eating.

Subsequently, Xiao Feng proportionately prepared all the G-virus essences.

"These things must not be overused. Start with the eleven of you. Once you all reach the Xuan stage, consider giving it to an elite zombie army to make them an ironclad force!"

Xiao Feng understood this.

Under his arrangement, Xiao Xiao had already formed a strong army from all the zombies he had subdued.

This army played a crucial role in unifying the provinces.

Enhancing their strength further would undoubtedly lead to unexpected victories at critical moments.

At that moment, Xiao Feng suddenly thought of An Ran, An Ni, and the currently ravenous Little Chubby.

The three of them also needed to reach the Xuan stage.

Thinking of An Ran, Xiao Feng couldn’t help but feel curious.

An Ran had a skill called Excellent Teacher.

**[Excellent Teacher: As an outstanding teacher, all controlled student zombies receive a +1 level increase]**

Logically, under her control, a level 10 zombie should directly enter the Xuan stage.

However, take Little Chubby for example. He had already reached level 10 but had not entered the Xuan stage.

Why was that?

Xiao Feng pondered deeply and could only come to one conclusion.

There was a chasm between the Xuan stage and level 10.

This was an insurmountable gap.

It blocked 90% of humans, zombies, and beasts.

So, it might also block certain rules and restrictions.

Thus, the Excellent Teacher skill had no effect on level 10.

But what if An Ran was upgraded to the Xuan stage?

Would her skill then be able to upgrade the controlled zombies to the Di stage?

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng became eager.

If that were possible, An Ran would become invincible.

Saving some G-virus essence, Xiao Feng planned to use it on An Ran, An Ni, and Little Chubby.

Then, Xiao Feng instructed Xiao Xiao to distribute the G-virus essence accordingly and brought An Ran, An Ni, and Little Chubby to his room.

"Stop eating; you can eat later!"

Xiao Feng pulled Little Chubby along.

Little Chubby, with his mouth full and hands holding food, made sure to stuff more into his mouth and grab more with his hands before leaving.

In the room, Xiao Feng eagerly administered the G-virus essence to An Ran first.

The G-virus essence had been diluted, so only a small amount would not cause any accidents.

Taking out approximately 100 milliliters of diluted virus, Xiao Feng had An Ran drink it.

After drinking it, An Ran showed no adverse reactions; it seemed to have no effect.

Xiao Feng then increased the dose to 500 milliliters.

Indeed, after consuming 500 milliliters, An Ran’s body began to change.

She started to tear at her clothes unnaturally.

Her skin turned bright red. When Xiao Feng touched her, she felt scorching hot like an iron.

Using the system to check, Xiao Feng saw the status displayed.

**[Status: Energy Saturation, Needs Release]**

"Release? How? Isn’t she supposed to enter the Xuan stage directly?"

Upon inquiry, Xiao Feng realized that the second dose of 500 milliliters seemed to have been too much.

"System, how do I release this energy saturation?"

**[Hint: Solution 1: Can be absorbed through extensive exercise, but the process is slow and may result in the body bursting.]**

**[Hint: Solution 2: Can be absorbed internally, by drawing the excess energy out.]**

"Internal absorption? How exactly do you do that? Explain it!"

**[Hint: Refer to the airborne activities you did today.]**

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng’s face turned green.

"An Ni, take Little Chubby outside. Daddy needs to give Mommy an injection!"

"Okay!"

An Ni, suspecting nothing, took Little Chubby out.

By now, An Ran had already stripped off all her clothes due to the excess energy.

Xiao Feng quickly tore off his clothes and then carried An Ran to the bed.

"So hot... so hot..."

An Ran, overwhelmed by the energy, had temporarily lost her senses.

"Ptooey! Ptooey!"

Xiao Feng spat twice into his hands.

Then, he plunged straight in!

...

With repeated efforts,

An Ran’s body temperature gradually cooled down.

At that moment, a surge of powerful energy erupted from An Ran’s body.

Xuan Stage!

An Ran had finally entered the Xuan stage.

But the next moment, Xiao Feng was stunned.

Because the excess energy from An Ran had been absorbed into his own body.

At this moment, the system issued a warning.

**[Warning: Detected residual viral energy in the host’s body. This energy will cause lethal damage to the host’s body and nerves. Please clear it immediately.]**

This was a virus that could turn an ordinary person into a zombie.

Had Xiao Feng not already entered the Xuan stage, he would likely have been transformed into a zombie by such a large amount of the virus.

But this energy couldn’t be wasted!

If cleared directly, it would be a waste.

Looking around, Xiao Feng fixed his gaze on An Ran.

"Forget it, I’ll return it to you."

An Ran, now in the Xuan stage, could easily reabsorb this energy.

This time, An Ran was fully conscious.

During the energy transfer process, An Ran truly became a woman for the second time.

Half an hour later.

After they had dressed, Xiao Feng eagerly checked An Ran’s attributes.

**Teacher Zombie: An Ran**

**Level: Xuan Stage**

Skills:

**[Teacher’s Command: Can control all elementary student zombies, doubling their attributes. Can be actively released, lasting half an hour.]**

**[Upgraded Teacher’s Command: Can control all middle school student zombies, tripling their attributes. Can be actively released, lasting half an hour.]**

**[Upgraded Teacher’s Command: Can control all high school student zombies, quadrupling their attributes. Can be actively released, lasting half an hour.]**

**[Super Excellent Teacher: As a super excellent teacher, all controlled student zombies below level 10 within the control range get a +1 level increase. For those at the Xuan stage, they get a +1 level increase.]**

**[Upgraded Teacher’s Command: Can control all college student zombies, quintupling their attributes. Can be actively released, lasting half an hour.]**

**[Upgraded Teacher’s Command: Can control all graduate student zombies, sextupling their attributes. Can be actively released, lasting half an hour.]**

**[Gardener Paragon: There’s a 30% chance for controlled student zombies to become intelligent mutant zombies.]**

**[P.E. Teacher is Busy: Attaches a debuff reducing stamina by 80% to a specified zombie.]**

**[Foreign Language Teacher Paragon: Has a chance to cultivate zombies capable of communicating with foreign zombies.]**

**[Grace of the Mentor: Each time she takes damage, it can be transferred to every zombie she controls.]**

**[Nine-Year Compulsory Education: Zombies in nine-year compulsory education won’t be attacked by higher-level zombies. Note: Applies only to zombies.]**

...

After reviewing An Ran’s upgraded attributes, Xiao Feng could only describe them with one word.

Absolutely incredible!

Especially that Super Excellent Teacher skill.

As Xiao Feng had speculated, Xuan stage zombies could indeed get a level increase.

However, he realized that the number of zombies who could reach the Xuan stage was extremely limited.

And they also needed to be students.

But then, Xiao Feng had an idea.

An Ran could summon all the student zombies.

Xiao Feng could identify all the level 10 zombies within this group.

Then, without sparing any effort, he would elevate them to the Xuan stage.

Under An Ran’s control, these zombies would directly become Di stage zombies.

Realizing this, Xiao Feng became aware of a serious problem.

The G-virus essence.

He had given the G-virus essence to Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Feng called out in alarm, quickly summoning Xiao Xiao.

But it was too late.

Xiao Xiao had distributed all the G-virus essence, leaving not a single milliliter behind.

Returning to his quarters disappointed, Xiao Feng looked at the G-virus essence he had reserved for Annie and the chubby zombie.

"This isn’t enough!" he muttered.

But then, another idea struck him.

He still possessed the technology for synthesizing and modifying zombies.

Using this skill, Xiao Feng could elevate zombies to the Xuan stage.

With this realization, Xiao Feng felt relieved.

"Come on, Annie!"

He prepared to elevate Annie to the Xuan stage.

Annie was still a student, and although she was An Ran’s daughter and had a special bond with her, she was still within the control range of the Super Excellent Teacher skill. Therefore, she could benefit from the level increase.

Annie was on the verge of becoming the world’s only Earth stage powerhouse.

"Shiver, world!" Xiao Feng’s heart raced with excitement.

This was a world-altering event; it was impossible not to be thrilled.

This time, Xiao Feng decided not to be as impulsive as he was with An Ran. He would be cautious, administering the virus in fifty-milliliter doses.

Looking around the room, Xiao Feng realized it was too small.

Annie’s ability to control giant zombies necessitated an outdoor setting.

He took Annie to a spacious area and began administering the virus gradually.

Fifty milliliters, one hundred, one hundred fifty, two hundred fifty, three hundred...

At three hundred milliliters, Annie began to transform.

She threw the doll she was holding. Upon hitting the ground, it turned into a towering flaming zombie several dozen meters high.

Annie then merged with the zombie, becoming one with it.

Terrifying energy radiated out, causing all nearby zombies to bow in submission.

Flames roared, and the zombie let out an excited howl.

At that moment, Xiao Feng noticed a massive shadow quickly approaching from the distance.

"What the hell is that?" Xiao Feng was shocked.

Annie’s advancement could not be interrupted.

Focusing his gaze, he saw it was a mutated black bear, over twenty meters tall.

The bear, more powerful than a tank, demolished everything in its path.

"It must have been attracted by the energy Annie released!"

As Xiao Feng prepared to intervene, Annie’s zombie turned, its flames intensifying.

Before Xiao Feng could act, Annie controlled the zombie to charge at the black bear.

The two massive figures collided mid-air and began to battle.

The black bear’s immense strength sent the zombie flying, but the flames on the zombie’s body scorched the bear, causing it to howl in pain.

Seizing the opportunity, the zombie lunged, engulfing the bear in flames.

The bear’s struggles weakened.

To Xiao Feng’s amazement, Annie’s zombie began to merge with the black bear.
