My Doomsday Bug Nest - Chapter 5
Chapter 5: Killing Zombies
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It must be because Ming Xianwan had turned into a zombie that Gu Yangyang ran out.
Ling Yichen put on his sneakers and walked into the house opposite his house.
However, the moment he entered, Ling Yichen realized that he had guessed wrongly.
It turned out that the person who turned into a zombie was not Ming Xianwan, but another man.
This person looked a little familiar. He seemed to be Ming Xianwan’s ex-husband who had divorced her a long time ago. Ling Yichen remembered seeing him in a photo in Gu Yangyang’s drawer.
From what he heard, Gu Xianwan’s ex-husband had gone bankrupt after Gu Yangyang was born. After that, he had been drinking and gambling. He had even touched drugs. No one knew where he went after that.
Hence, they divorced. The young Gu Yangyang was allocated to Ming Xianwan.
Why was he back now?
Before Ling Yichen was reborn, he did not see this person’s corpse when he returned. He probably ran out unconsciously.
Now, this man had already become a zombie. His body emitted the stench of decay, and part of his skin had already festered. He was constantly scratching the door of a room, leaving scratches.
Ling Yichen ran up in large strides and a fruit knife suddenly appeared in his hand. He had just taken it out from the Insect Nest Demiplane. It was considered long among fruit knives and could barely be used.
A cold light flashed and the fruit knife simply cut off the zombie’s head!
Everything flowed smoothly as if it was a daily task. There was no hesitation or obstruction.
This was a combat technique that he had honed in the apocalypse. It was like a butcher dismembering an ox. It was an extremely skilled technique!
Based on his 100 years of experience in the apocalypse, he was very familiar with the bone structure of any creature, especially humans. When he touched the cervical vertebrae, he could pry them open with a shake of his hand, greatly reducing the resistance of the bones. Some people even joked that he had created the “Cook’s Dissection Knife Technique”.
Although Ling Yichen’s Immortal Talent focused on self-healing, it still had attributes to strengthen the body, just that it was not as exaggerated.
Otherwise, if an ordinary person were to use this move, they would not be able to cut off the head.
“Sister Ming, everything is fine outside. Come out.”
As he spoke, Ling Yichen continued to deal with the zombie’s head. Then, he dug out a hexagonal crystal. There was a semi-transparent and illusory image of this zombie inside. It was naked and had no clothes to cover its body.
This was an Origin Crystal, the currency of the apocalypse with magical abilities. Inside the Origin Crystal, the image of the monster that produced the Origin Crystal would be condensed.
The door opened, revealing Ming Xianwan’s mature figure. From her beautiful face, it was impossible to tell that she was already 30 years old this year. Those who did not know her would think that she was a young lady in her early twenties.
Ming Xianwan married the man on the floor, who had become a zombie, a long time ago. She was pregnant when she was 18 years old and only got her marriage certificate later.
However, good times didn’t last long. The man had gone bankrupt before they had even gotten married, but she had married him anyway.
After knowing each other for so many years, Ling Yichen also knew that Ming Xianwan did not like money. She was a sentimental woman. Otherwise, she would have remarried long ago. Ling Yichen remembered that there were many rich bosses wooing her.
“Yichen, thank you.” Ming Xianwan’s pale face showed that she had not recovered yet.
Ling Yichen asked, “Did he scratch you?”
At the same time, Ling Yichen sized up Ming Xianwan. If she was infected with the zombie virus, there would be no virus serum to detoxify her at this moment.
“No. How’s Yangyang?”
Just as Ming Xianwan asked this, Gu Yangyang ran over and threw herself into her arms.
“Mommy, boohoo…”
Ming Xianwan comforted her. “Alright, alright. Isn’t everything fine now?”
Ling Yichen silently dragged the zombie’s corpse away. It was better for the two of them to have some time to calm down.
Before going through the door, Ling Yichen had already sent the zombie’s corpse to the Insect Nest Demiplane. He stopped converting other food and changed the conversion target to this zombie’s corpse.
Finally, there was no need to waste food. Ling Yichen heaved a sigh of relief. After all, the speed at which the Insect Nest Demiplane could convert organic matter was limited. He did not want to waste the time at the beginning of the apocalypse, so he could only choose to waste food first.
After returning home, Ling Zixing immediately ran over and asked, “How is it? What happened? Were you injured just now? Where did the blood come from?”
Ling Zixing noticed the bloodstains on Ling Yichen’s clothes.
Ling Yichen waved his hand as if nothing had happened and said, “This is not my blood. It’s the zombie’s. It’s Sister Ming’s ex-husband.”
However, Ling Yichen did not take it seriously at all. Not to mention that he had killed zombies, even if it was humans, he did not know how many he had slaughtered before he was reborn.
Just as Ling Yichen was about to explain to Ling Zixing what a zombie was, the sound of a broken window came from the kitchen!
This was a mutated bird. To Ling Yichen, it was not a big threat.
This mutated bird was not big. It was the same size as an ordinary bird, but it did not mean that it was weak just because it was small. If one collided with its sharp beak, it would definitely split your head open!
Ling Yichen’s gaze sharpened. He found the right moment and simply grabbed the mutated bird with his big hand!
Then, a small knife appeared out of nowhere and cut off the mutated bird’s head!
All of this happened in an instant. Only a second had passed since the window was broken!
When Ling Zixing returned to her senses, she could not help but cover her mouth with her hands. However, she was still unable to conceal the shock in her heart.
At this moment, Ling Yichen suddenly said, “Zixing, I think we should go online now.”
The country would soon make an announcement on the Internet. After Ling Zixing finished reading the announcement, Ling Yichen believed that she would understand the changes in this world.
Ling Zixing quickly took out her phone and saw that the notification bar was filled with messages. The notification at the very top showed that it was posted by the country.
Ling Yichen did not care about the announcement on the Internet. After all, he had experienced this before he was reborn. Now, he needed to obtain the meditation technique.
He took out a very small crystal from the head of the mutated bird that had fallen to the ground. There was an illusory mutated bird inside, which was several times smaller than the one he had just taken out of the zombie’s head.
However, although it was small, the effect was still there. It could also allow one to obtain a meditation technique.
Origin Crystals were like compensation from the heavens to humans. Only humans could obtain meditation techniques and various combat techniques from them.
Other creatures could only obtain energy from it for cultivation. Of course, humans could also cultivate through Origin Crystals.
Ling Yichen was prepared to absorb this Origin Crystal now. The sooner he had the meditation technique, the sooner he could have powerful strength!
For example, the mutated bird just now was only a Rank-0 mutated creature.
Soon, higher-leveled monsters would appear. If he did not have enough strength, even if he had 100 years of memories from the apocalypse, it would be useless!
Ling Yichen took the two Origin Crystals to the faucet and washed them clean. The water and electricity had not been cut off for the time being, but they should be cut off soon.
Before he absorbed the meditation technique, there was only one way to use the Origin Crystal, and that was to swallow it.
He would swallow it into his body and let his body digest it. For ordinary people without an awakened talent, if they absorbed enough Origin Crystals, their chances of becoming an Awakened one would increase under the nourishment of the Origin Crystal’s energy.
