I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 278 - 276 Evolution, Level 5 Zombie_1

Chapter 278: Chapter 276 Evolution, Level 5 Zombie_1

All flesh flaps, bone spikes, and tentacles retracted. Then, the flesh flaps transformed into bloody wings. Shaking in the water, Tang Ye began to float upwards and broke through the surface of the water, soaring toward Lin City Downtown.

If you ask where the safest place to evolve is, of course, it would be where there are the most of your kind. Downtown is densely packed with zombies. There, countless zombies would serve as Tang Ye’s most loyal guards during evolution.

En route to downtown, the warmth enveloping Tang Ye became hotter. After finding a spot, he chose to sit quietly on a step.

Taking advantage of his current state before passing out from the heat, Tang Ye scanned his surroundings until he found a building to enter. He chose to sit in a stairwell of an unspecified floor.

Looking at his surroundings and a flowerpot in front of him, Tang Ye was momentarily lost in thought. When he had first turned into a zombie, he also slept in a stairwell.

At that time, he remembered being awakened by a guy named Old Liu. Filled with good intentions, he had helped Old Liu, but almost got beheaded in the process.

Thinking of his past self and comparing it to his present self made Tang Ye smile. His past self would never have imagined turning into what he is now.

Bloodthirsty, aggressive, evil – all sorts of negative energy were concentrated within him.

Sitting silently on the steps, staring at the wall in front of him, the solitary stairwell with only him felt more desolate than ever before.

Outside was the apocalypse, but it only seemed to be a bit more dilapidated...

"Maybe, I’ve really changed."

With an intense heat washing over every part of his body, Tang Ye’s head swayed, and he lay on the ground, his consciousness falling into darkness.

His body quietly began to transform, taking another step on the path to evolution.

Tang Ye dreamed again. He saw himself not as a zombie, but as a normal human being with loving parents, a beautiful wife, and a chubby son, living harmoniously together.

In the dream, his house was situated in a beautiful neighborhood. He worked every day to earn money, stood by his wife, and played with his son.

Gradually, his son grew up, and he and his wife aged. Finally, closing his eyes, he entered his coffin, and at his funeral, he saw his son crying with red eyes, and his wife sobbing silently by his grave.

When he awoke, he found himself still in the same stairwell. After evolution had ended, he didn’t check his new abilities immediately. Instead, he sat up and stared blankly.

The dream felt like it was from another lifetime. He faintly remembered the lush tree at the door of the dream house, with stone tables and benches under its leaves. The scene was so beautiful and so full of life’s warmth.

The life in his dream seemed so easy to grasp, yet so unattainable.

Shaking his head, Tang Ye stood up to inspect his new abilities.

"So this is how it is."

Muttering to himself, a smile graced his face. As a Level 4 zombie, he could control all the blood and flesh on his body. As a Level 5 zombie, he could now control both his blood, flesh, and every single bone!

And most importantly, he could control the division and fusion of every cell in his body!

When he was still a Level 4, his size was only about two meters tall. His mutation wasn’t due to having more anti-life matter; on the contrary, he had the same amount as any other Level 4 zombie. His small size was due to the compact density of his anti-life matter.

When he grew gigantic, it meant separating the density of each anti-life matter, thus greatly reducing his defense!

However, now that he had evolved to Level 5, Tang Ye no longer needed to worry about this. He could control the splitting of his anti-life matter, thereby increasing density even after growing gigantic. He could also command his anti-life matter to fuse together to shrink his body!

Understanding his new ability put a fierce, excited expression on Tang Ye’s face. He stepped off the stairs and took one look at the swarming zombies on the street before suddenly growing gigantic!

Before long, a 20-meter tall giant appeared on the street!

The giant that Tang Ye had transformed into was different; it wasn’t without bones. It was supported by its skeleton!

With no expression on his face yet, Tang Ye raised his hand. With a thought, his whole arm was quickly covered with thick bone armor!

At his fist, a huge bone blade burst out from his flesh! Then his abdomen, legs, and head were all covered with bone armor!

"Hee hee hee..."

Satisfied, Tang Ye had another thought, and suddenly, a hole broke open in his back. Then, two pairs of giant bone wings sprouted out. This wasn’t the end though: the bone wings began to grow flesh until they transformed into a pair of bat wings!

The huge wings kept growing, reaching over fifty meters before finally stopping. However, Tang Ye looked puzzled. He’d reached the limit and couldn’t grow any larger!

Yet, in comparison to his gigantic form, would fifty-meter wings be enough to carry him in flight?

Previously, when his normal height was two meters, he needed wings over twenty meters long to carry him. Now, standing at twenty meters tall or ten times his regular size, fifty-meter wings didn’t seem sufficient.

However, because the division level of his internal anti-life matter had already reached the Level 5 limit, Tang Ye could only brace himself and test his flight.

As he thought, Tang Ye’s wings swept out simultaneously. Each wing was over a hundred meters long and blocked out the sky!

"Fly!"

With a roar, a windstorm rose from the ground and blasted the ground. The violent wind blew away everything around Tang Ye!

Whoosh!

The giant body soared into the sky, leaving two white trails in the air. Tang Ye, who was flying freely in the sky, had excitement written all over his face. He hadn’t expected that he could really fly!

Looking at the large shadow covering the ground due to his presence, Tang Ye’s heart was filled with immeasurable excitement! He wanted to go to Zhiyang Lake again and have another three hundred rounds of battle with that pseudo-dragon!

However, the dragon couldn’t escape from the lake, so Tang Ye wasn’t in a hurry. He decided first to take his little brother Ah Fu with him for evolution!

After evolving to Level 5, the wings on Tang Ye’s back were no longer composed entirely of blood and flesh but were boned. This made the force they could exert much stronger, so he didn’t have to worry about not being able to carry his size after growing gigantic!

The wings expanded, and the huge creature of over a hundred meters flew freely in the sky. Wherever it went, it cast a shadow!

The survivors felt the light around them dim and were frightened by the monster in the sky!

"What... what is that?"

"A zombie bird? How can it be that big?"

"What level is it supposed to be at? Are they even giving us a chance to live?"

The survivors were filled with fear as they watched Tang Ye fly away from their vantage point at the window.
