Chapter 1 Prologue 1
On Planet Aquamarine, a love-crazed Western medical scientist, Jon JK, has been conducting secret experiments for nearly twenty years to save his terminally ill wife and assistant. In 2033, during a press conference, Dr. Jon discussed his successful thawing of a near-death poisoned patient and was about to proceed with the thawing to save his terminally ill wife when a deafening explosion erupted from Jon's personal research center...
When the M country's information department announced that all of Dr. Jon's experimental data on combating cancer viruses and formulas for treating terminal illnesses had been stored in the National Central Computer Data Center, a disaster that would destroy humanity suddenly struck.
Initially confined to Western nations, the zombie virus spread rapidly across the globe, bringing human civilization, technology, order, law, and morality to a near-collapse.
On this desperate planet, there are just, brave and kind human beings who are still fighting their last battle, trying to bring hope of life to the survivors.
At the Southwest Security Base of Central Country, another zombie war is approaching. Hundreds of millions of zombies and animals are flocking to the base. The top brass of the base has issued an order to leave some soldiers behind to resist the psychics, while some soldiers and psychics will protect ordinary people and evacuate from the Biyue River in the east to the Eastern Security Base.
The "Guardian's Special Ability User List" appeared on the display screen in the mission hall. The special ability user breathed a sigh of relief the moment he saw his name on the scrolling list.
Wen Wan and Wen Heng, brother and sister, stood together as the list of the "Qinglong Squadron" finally appeared. The evacuation lists of the first and second squads scrolled, followed by the list of the third squad. After the squad leader "Zhang Long" came the name of the deputy captain "Wen Wan".
Wen Heng excitedly watched the scrolling subtitles. Before he could say anything, he heard an excited female voice beside him ask, "How was the list of evacuated special ability users decided? Why isn't I on the list? Who submitted this list?"
Wen Wan's expression was slightly stiff, and her whole body was cold. Wen Heng was not on the list. They were the last survivors of their generation in the Wen family. After the outbreak of the virus, the first to be infected were the elderly, children, and frail women.
The Wen family runs a chain of pastry shops in Jincheng. Legend has it that their ancestors were imperial pastry chefs. They have sixteen shops in Jincheng and numerous branches in other cities across the southwest.
When the virus hit, Grandpa, Grandma, and Wen Wan's younger sister, Wen Qing, all turned into zombies. Wen Wan's mother and second aunt, who were returning home with them, were attacked by the zombies. To save second aunt, Wen Wan's mother blocked the door with her own body and was bitten and turned into a zombie.
After the disaster, the first group of people with special abilities appeared. Father Wen and Aunt Wen were among them. Like those infected with the virus, the first group of people with special abilities were the healthiest humans.
The five people who survived in the Wen family were: Father Wen, Wen Wan, Second Uncle Wen, Second Aunt Wen, Wen Heng, and Wen Huai.
Half a month later, the second group of people with special abilities appeared, and Wen Wan was one of them.
A month later, the third batch of people with special abilities appeared, and Wen Heng was among them.
Now that three years have passed since the "global disaster", the Southwest Security Base is also the largest security base in the southwest. It was once the Southwest University and covers an area of more than 3,300 acres. Because it is adjacent to the Southwest Military Region, it was first built into a security base by the government and the military.
"All evacuated special-ability personnel, please go to service counters 1 to 3 to receive the guard badges!"
A pleasant female voice, warm and gentle, echoed over the radio, intoxicating the ear. The owner of this gentle voice was CCTV's most famous female announcer before the global zombie virus disaster.
Wen Heng cried, "Sister, I don't want to stay. Zombies are surrounding the city... The Southern Province Security Base has fallen..."
Her mother was gone, and her younger sister, along with her grandfather and grandmother, had all turned into zombies that weekend. Her father had been bitten by a zombie while scavenging for supplies to save her. Before his transformation into a zombie, he endured the pain and pulled out a red and yellow superpower core from his chest. "Wanwan, don't cry. I'm going to another world to find your mother and Qingqing. Your second uncle doesn't have superpowers. Bring my superpower core back to him to fuse with."
Experts have shown that superpowers can be transferred between close blood relatives. Whoever possesses a superpower will possess it, and the closer the blood relationship, the closer the power will be to that of a native superpower. If Father Wen's superpower was ten points before, it would reach seven points when it reaches Uncle Wen. Transferring superpowers between direct relatives can reach eight to nine points, seven to eight points between siblings with the same parents, and six to seven points between cousins, uncles, and nephews.
Wen Wan approached Service Desk No. 2 and heard a square-faced young man at Service Desk No. 3 say to another young man, "Liu Tao, I'll stay."
"The remaining power..." The oval-faced young man couldn't hide his emotion, "If you stay, then..."
If you stay, you will die.
Base leadership observed zombie movements from satellites, with zombies from all directions converging on the Southwest Security Base. Experts analyzed that this wave of zombies wasn't summoned by the Zombie King, but rather attracted by something within the Southwest Base. The hypothesis was that the zombies on the periphery, starved for too long, became aware of the presence of living people within the base, and were drawn to the scent of human flesh.
Yu Wei's expression was calm. "Liu Tao, my family is all gone, but you're different. You still have a mother and a sister to take care of. Let me stay here for you while you leave with the evacuation team. If I die in this battle, I'm willing to donate my energy core to Sister Liu Jie."
Most psychics leave a "will" document at the base, stating that once they are gone, they will leave their psychic core to a designated person. If they have no living relatives or friends, they will leave it to the country.
Yu Wei said to the young woman at the information desk, "Please pull out my 'Suicide Note'. I need to revise my will."
Wen Heng guessed something from the conversation between Liu and Yu, "Sister, I don't agree. The list originally said I was the one who escorted the people to evacuate..."
Wen Wan said to the person at the information desk, "Wen Wan, a member of the third team of the Qinglong team, voluntarily requests to switch tasks with Wen Heng, a member of the third team. I will stay and fight the zombies."
Wen Heng shouted again: "Sister, I'll stay!"
His aunt had turned into a zombie to save his mother, and his uncle had left his superpower core to his father before his death. Wen Wan was the only one left in the first branch of the Wen family, while the four members of the second branch were all alive and well.
After Wen Wan's parents passed away, her second uncle and second aunt doted on her very much. It can be said that they cared for her and doted on her far more than their own two biological sons.
"Ah Heng, if I die, remember to give my superpower core to me for fusion."
Although Wen Huai's ten points of talent and ability became six or seven points after the fusion, medical scientists have mastered a complete set of fusion methods. Second Aunt works in the hospital. She can spend 20 points to make Wen Huai have eight points of talent and ability. Then she can use one or two years to practice and upgrade her ability, which is not much different from her own talent and ability.
Wen Heng's combat prowess was superior to hers, and he earned more points each month. In the safe base, points meant money, and money meant survival supplies. Although her second uncle worked in the logistics team and her second aunt worked in the hospital, they both earned points, but they were nowhere near as high as those earned by the combat team. She had carefully weighed the pros and cons.
The base leadership announced a list of combat team members, and without exception, all of them have high combat capabilities and brothers and sisters at home. In other words, even if one person sacrifices, the parents and elders still have other children.
Wen Wan guessed that the leadership selected Wen Heng as a combat team member because he had a younger brother.
She is not the only one who does private swaps; there must be many others who do so.
Wen Wan put the guard badge she had received on Wen Heng's chest, her expression solemn, "Ah Heng, I won't go back to say goodbye to my second uncle and second aunt..."
"Superpower guards, please assemble immediately!"
