Chapter 12: Becoming The Strongest In The World!
[After Lynn finished feasting on Mark's flesh, you noticed that Lynn seemed to becoming stronger. Before, Lynn was only at the E-rank Initial Stage. Currently, Lynn is at the E-rank Intermediate Stage.]
[Unfortunately, Lynn still hasn't awakened her superpower but her body did become stronger. Since her physical strength was also boosted by her successful evolution, you gave a metal baseball bat to Lynn so that she could use it to defend herself.]
["Thank you, Alister. I didn't expect that you would still love and support me after I became a zombie. I thought you were only greedy for my body like those five men from before but it seems that you truly loved me." Lynn thanked you as her sweet smile seemed to have melted your heart.]
[You patted Lynn's head and hugged her. It was true that you were greedy for her body before. But you had started to develop your feelings and love for her. At least, in this lawless world, she was the only one you could trust.]
[Holding her hands, you used your air manipulation to create a miniature tornado that destroyed the school gate as well as the hordes of zombies outside it. Because of that, Lynn and your path was no longer obstructed by both the school gate and those zombies.]
[Exiting the school, you and Lynn seemed to not know where the two of you would go next. But after feeling the cold temperature of Lynn's hand which was interlocked with yours, you no longer minded. Since for you, anywhere the two of you went didn't matter as long as you both were with each other.]
[To survive in this zombie apocalypse world, you know that Lynn and you have to become stronger. So you decided that the two of you would focus on ingesting zombie viruses into your bodies and walking on the path of continuous evolution.]
"Indeed. The destination doesn't matter as long as the journey is spent with my loved one. The self in the simulation knows what he is doing." Alister commended the self in the simulation.
[It has been a week since Lynn and you left your school. The two of you had encountered E-rank zombies and E-rank awakeners along the way so Lynn managed to become an E-rank Peak Stage zombie while you were at D-rank Intermediate Stage.]
[Due to the lack of high-quality zombie viruses, it was becoming difficult for you to become stronger, and even Lynn was stuck at the peak stage of E-rank.]
[It was worth noting that from the evolution ranks and stages that you had created, there were only three stages in a rank which were Initial Stage, Intermediate Stage, and Late Stage. But Lynn was currently stronger than the average E-rank Late Stage zombies and she had reached a bottleneck in her evolution.]
[Because of that, you had labeled Lynn's current evolution stage as E-rank Peak Stage. The evolution ranks and stages that you had founded were still in their early phase so there were bound to be some changes. But now, there were four stages in each rank, and from your discovery, it was only when a lack of chance in one's evolution that a zombie or human would be stuck at the peak stage of a rank.] contemporary romance
[After all, even if you haven't experienced being at the peak stage of a rank since when you were at E-rank, you evolved directly from the late stage of E-rank to the initial stage of D-rank.]
[Aside from collecting the blood of evolved zombies and the flesh of human awakeners, you also spent some time researching the zombie virus as well as discovering the behaviors of zombies. You weren't adept in researching so you didn't get that far in your research but you obtained enough knowledge from your research that you no longer needed to continue researching.]
[The method of evolution that you had created had become more suitable for both you and Lynn and you managed to create a method which allowed you to use the energy contained within your zombie viruses. You named that energy as "Viral Energy"]
[Three weeks have passed and it has been a month since you and Lynn left the school.]
[Lynn finally broke through her bottleneck and evolved from E-rank Peak Stage to D-rank Intermediate Stage. On the other hand, you are currently at C-rank Initial Stage.]
[It seems that a month after the start of the zombie apocalypse was more than enough time to allow zombies to evolve to the D-rank Initial Stage. You and Lynn spent your time hunting those D-rank zombies to obtain their high-quality zombie virus.]
[You found out the reason why Lynn hasn't awakened her superpower yet. It was all due to Lynn awakening not an elemental superpower, but a physical one. Lynn could use the viral energy in her body to augment her physical attributes. So whether it was her endurance, strength, or speed, Lynn could use her viral energy to increase it.]
[On the other hand, you have created the self-evolution method revolving around the zombie virus and the viral energy. You named it "Viral Evolution Breathing Method".]
[The viral evolution method would allow someone to draw in the zombie viruses in their surroundings by breathing. It could be used to evolve or at least increase the quality of the zombie viruses in their body. It was a breathing method that you had developed.]
[Five months have passed and it has been half a year since the start of the zombie apocalypse. The zombies and human awakeners had become stronger and there were hardly any F-rank zombies that could be found.]
[Not only zombies and humans but also animals and plants had already evolved since three months had passed at the start of the zombie apocalypse. The zombie virus kept on evolving yet you still didn't know the cause of the zombie apocalypse nor the origin of the zombie virus.]
[Nevertheless, five months had allowed you and Lynn to become stronger. Lynn is currently at the A-rank Initial Stage while you are at the A-rank Late Stage.]
[You noticed that the higher the rank of evolution, the more difficult it was to evolve. After all, you needed more high-quality zombie virus and there was barely any B-rank Late Stage zombies even after six months had passed since the start of the zombie apocalypse.]
[You and Lynn had undoubtedly become the strongest in the world!]
