Chapter 145: Chapter 143: Genetic Forbidden Zone _1

"What were your jobs before this?"

"High school student."

"Assembly line worker, if that counts as a profession."

In a registration room, Chen Chaoyang and his companion nonchalantly watched the registrar, one bouncing his leg and the other munching on crisps, not showing the registrar any respect.

But the registrar was used to this, being a regular human himself and unwilling to risk confronting them. If he annoyed Chen Chaoyang and his companion, they might kill him on a whim, and Yan Zhaofeng wouldn’t have said a word.

That was the brutal reality of the apocalypse! Ordinary people were cannon fodder, New Humans were butchers!

All he could do was to quickly classify them by level. Once their training started, someone would take them down a peg, making sure they’d straighten up!

Most who joined the defence team were drawn by the benefits. There were many young teenagers like Chen Chaoyang and his companion. The registrar wouldn’t bother distinguishing between adults and minors.

Among them were even high-risk fugitives from before the apocalypse.

"Alright. Done."

Having finished writing on two pieces of paper, the registrar respectfully handed them over. A woman then came in, leading them out to join a training camp.

...

Five minutes later, the woman led them into a military-green tent. She pointed to a stack of uniform kits nearby, saying, "Choose a set that fits you. Then rest for a while. Someone will come to get you shortly. I’m off since there’s nothing else."

The woman had a lovely voice. Despite being nearly thirty, she sounded like an innocent girl, which stirred Chen Chaoyang. As she walked away, he reached out and gave her a firm pinch on her buttocks.

Her face flushed and paled in succession. Seeing that Chen Chaoyang didn’t care at all, she didn’t take action, knowing that her husband is also a New Human. It appeared as if Chen Chaoyang and Yan Jie were associates, so causing a scene wouldn’t be worth it. She decided to just pretend it didn’t happen.

After the woman left, Yan Jie gave Chen Chaoyang a strange look, as if saying, "Bro, why are you so lecherous?"

Understanding his implication, Chen Chaoyang replied, "Hey, hey, don’t look at me like that. What does it matter? Who’s going to care now? We might as well have fun while we still can."

"We could dead any moment!"

Chen Chaoyang made a funny face trying to scare Yan Jie, who remained unmoved. Yan Jie picked a suitable uniform set and started trying it on.

...

After Japan’s Ciwuben Base was breached, there was international uproar, with criticisms and mockery of Japan’s inaction.

The first survivor base to fall had emerged, leading to Japan becoming the laughing stock. A horrifying video footage of a Level 3 zombie climbing over the zombie-proof wall and slaughtering soldiers surged across the fragmented post-apocalyptic internet!

Despite the footage’s gruesome scenes, survivors everywhere were thrown into panic.

A Level 3 zombie wasn’t especially powerful, but its appearance signified that zombies could continue to evolve past Level 2 and potentially reach Level 4 or Level 5.

Each level of evolution would bring about drastic changes in strength. Although a Level 2 zombie can be killed with a single precise gunshot, the video showed that Level 3 zombies had achieved a terrifying speed.

This not only sparked fear among ordinary survivors but also made high-ranking officials uneasy about the future impact of continued zombie evolution.

In the spacious conference room of Huachen Jiangtian.

Ning Tianlang watched the footage displayed on the large screen, grinding his cigarette into dust in his clenched fist. He hit the briefing stick in his hand, and the screen went black. Taking a pile of files, he left the room, flipping open a file written: "Chenhua Technology Anti-Life Matter Research Report"

"New Human Genetic Research"

"Human Life Forbidden Area: Genetic Programming"

"Anti-Life Matter Transformation New Human Plan"

After Ning Tianlang’s departure, the conference room door was reopened, and a large number of people walked in. The two men at the front were talking, one with a smile on his face, while the other looked displeased.

"Your country really does have all kinds of monsters and ghosts, eh? We’re not trying to mock you, hahaha!"

The man in the suit on the right ridiculed, bursting into unrestrained laughter, causing the man on the left to darken his face even more.

A single Level 3 zombie was far from being catastrophic, but its appearance led to the downfall of Ciwuben Base.

Or rather, it was due to the base itself.

Ciwuben Base had large grounds, but was built too hastily. The zombie-proof wall wasn’t very high. Over one hundred thousand survivors were inside, but there was also a mutiny among the New Humans, and the base changed hands.

The leadership went from Yin Nan Shiren to Yagisawa Masatoshi. Yagisawa Masatoshi was an employee of a logistics company before the Apocalypse and became a Level 2 New Human after the Apocalypse!

From being at the bottom of society, to being a new emperor overnight, how could one handle these changes?

After killing Yin Nan Shiren, he immediately immersed himself in luxury. On the day of his birthday, when the Level 3 zombie and horde attacked the base, Yagisawa Masatoshi invited all major factions in the base to celebrate, even reassigning many guards to undisclosed places, leaving only Ikeda Hashira, whom he disliked, to guard the perimeter.

The horde, led by a Level 3 zombie, moved at an incredible speed. How could a mere team of less than three hundred soldiers stand a chance?

By the time the Level 3 zombie, a demon scorpion, climbed over the zombie-proof wall, the base was already doomed. When reinforcements arrived, the horde had already breached the base, rendering any resistance futile!

For Japan, with its small land area, only two Level 2 New Humans were born, and now one is dead. His body is nowhere to be found!

Zuo Yushan was extremely satisfied to see Japan in such a predicament, with the first Level 3 zombie appearing there. He couldn’t help but cheer at the misfortune of the Japanese, who sought to seize China’s sovereign territory during World War II.

Don’t you have a bunch of ghost stories? Look, a real-life monster is wreaking havoc on your soil! You truly deserve it!

Izaki Naruhiko looked exasperated but managed to suppress his anger. There was no way back to his own country, and he could only rely on his neighbour for now.

But while he held back, a New Human teenager following him could not contain his rage.

"Bastard, how dare you talk to my senior like that, go to hell!"

The Japanese teenager gritted his teeth and rushed at Zuo Yushan. However, before his hand even landed, a young man in ancient dress deflected him effortlessly, sending him flying with one kick.

"This is not Japan; be mindful of your actions. If there’s a next time, don’t blame me for not showing mercy," he warned.
