Super Zombie Factory - Chapter 4
Chapter 4: Zombie Factory
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Uncle Zombie sat like a piece of wood for half an hour without moving an inch.
Lu Chuan couldn’t stand it anymore. Besides, after today, he knew that Uncle Zombie didn’t pose any threat. He didn’t need to worry.
Once he accepted this fact in his heart, Lu Chuan was curious about the zombie factory in the apocalypse. Previously, he was confused and had only taken a glimpse at the zombie factory before being returned to the long-distance bus inexplicably.
Now that he had calmed down, he could finally take a closer look.
Ignoring Uncle Zombie who was sitting like a piece of wood, Lu Chuan lay down on the bed and took out his mobile phone.
An Oppo smart phone costing around a thousand yuan can only be considered a low-tier phone, which was suitable for Lu Chuan’s income range.
On the screen, the zombie factory icon was still there.
“Huuu!”
Lu Chuan took a few deep breaths to calm himself and tapped the icon lightly with trembling fingers.
Lu Chuan couldn’t be blamed for being nervous since he would be teleported to an unknown era.
The moment he tapped the icon, a fingerprint verification appeared, but it disappeared instantly. The next second, Lu Chuan felt his head twitch, followed by a painful sensation, and then his body distorted.
His eyes went dark, and in the blink of an eye, when he could see again, Lu Chuan was in the bright product exhibition hall.
“Calm down, calm down.”
“I’m the boss here.”
“It’s very safe here.”
Lu Chuan gave himself a pep talk but couldn’t calm his anxiety.
He swallowed, twisted his head hard, and looked around.
The zombie inside the glass column that had almost frightened Lu Chuan to death before was still there and was staring at him with hollow eyes. But this time, it wasn’t moving at all, standing blankly.
Lu Chuan looked around; he had teleported alone. Uncle Zombie didn’t come along with him.
……
Chanting “I am the boss” to fool himself, Lu Chuan finally toured the entire factory.
It had a simple structure.
The zombie factory could be divided into four parts.
One: The brightly-lit product exhibition hall, which was currently the biggest part of the factory.
Two: The product development department.
Three: The production workshop.
Four: The boss’s office.
The zombie factory wasn’t big, but it had everything from research to production.
The only thing missing was probably a warehouse.
As the boss and sole owner of this zombie factory, Lu Chuan should have maximum authority. However, Lu Chuan tragically discovered that he could not enter the research department and production workshop. The only places that he could enter were the product exhibition hall and boss’s office.
He could control the entire factory with his thoughts.
As long as he issued a command, the factory would operate, the production workshop would start up, and zombies would be produced.
The production workshop was in confidential mode and nothing could be seen.
Lu Chuan had no idea how to make a zombie.
When he turned to the product development department, a technology tree appeared in Lu Chuan’s brain. Each grid was dark and covered by a question mark. The grid at the bottom of the technology tree had a shimmering halo.
When his consciousness passed through, the message from the grid appeared.
Zombie: Not developed. Three zombie fragments are needed to unlock the development, a first-level zombie factory product.
Obviously, he needed research and development to manufacture this kind of beginner zombie.
“What the hell is a zombie fragment?”
Lu Chuan felt like he was playing a game and this zombie was like a piece of equipment. He would need that many pieces to synthesize this piece of equipment?
Sure enough, in the corner of this grid, there was an explanation about zombie fragments.
Zombie fragments: Obtained by hunting ordinary zombies.
In that instant, Lu Chuan got a headache.
Seemed like it wouldn’t be easy to start operations.
Lu Chuan’s factory was a level-one biochemical plant and from the looks of things, it was only manufacturing zombies.
……
Biochemical plant: This is a horrible concentration camp, the root cause of the destruction of the world. It can produce all kinds of biochemical weapons that are tyrannical beyond your imagination. Truly, the final biochemical weapons it produces will exceed your expectations.
These weapons could be human-shaped zombies, animal-shaped zombies, and were more likely to be divine biochemical arms.
Zombies, zombie dogs, Lickers, Cerberus, Tyrants, Chasers, T002, Meat Shields, Adjudicators, Maternal Bodies…
There was only the unimaginable, never the undevelopable.
The products were horrible, with unparalleled power.
With this biochemical plant, Lu Chuan could unlock and develop these terrifying biochemical weapons. They were absolutely loyal and would elevate his powers in the name of fear.
In addition, the countless additional products from the biochemical plant were beyond his imagination. The natural cycle of life would be in his hands.
A level-one biochemical plant could manufacture zombies, but this function had to be unlocked.
The biochemical plant had ten levels. Once a certain number of products had been unlocked, Lu Chuan would obtain the ability to level up. Leveling up could unlock higher-level products which were smarter and more powerful.
As the boss of the factory, the factory automatically gifted Lu Chuan a servant. If he wanted a more intelligent servant, he would have to work hard to level up the factory.
Manufacturing products required the input of material costs. Since the financial system collapsed during the apocalypse, real world currency was used, and RMB was used in the initial stage.
With the ability to travel between the two worlds, how could he not have a killer item like storage space? Once he activated the first product, he would have a level-one storage space, a necessity for home, travel, murder, and arson.
As the boss of the biochemical plant, he needed to acquire more resources to keep himself alive.
In the eyes of other survivors, Lu Chuan was considered the most unusual survivor in this world. Everything he owned would drive them crazy. If he didn’t want to be eliminated, he needed to start using his brain to avoid being killed.
This is not a journey of development, but a journey of survival.
There is no doubt that with this factory, your future will become darker and darker.
“F*ck.”
Lu Chuan completely broke down when he saw the last sentence in the informational blurb. What did it mean by “becoming darker and darker”? It felt as though he was a heinous villain.
Moreover, the introduction here said that the zombies were manufactured by the factory.
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that at the beginning, zombies were indeed artificially created in a laboratory. The original purpose of their creation was to make the most powerful biochemical weapon.
Unfortunately, things obviously got out of control, and the world was almost destroyed.
The appearance of the biochemical plant was illogical and unbelievable, but now Lu Chuan had accepted it.
Although at the end of the introduction, it mentioned that he might be going down a dark path, Lu Chuan couldn’t refuse the temptation in front of him: becoming the owner of a biochemical plant and creating extremely powerful biochemical weapons.
Storage space was definitely an iconic function of traveling through time and space.
Without it, he should be ashamed to say he had the ability to travel through time and space.
Knowing that there was such a function, it would be a lie if Lu Chuan said he wasn’t excited. The convenience and benefits were hard to estimate. He could rely on it when items from the apocalypse and modern times had to be exchanged.
Storage space was a necessity to achieve the pinnacle of life.
When Lu Chuan took a look at the additional products of the biochemical plant, his eyes rounded and almost fell out.
Leukemia, AIDS, cervical cancer, rabies…
Limb regeneration, biochemical heart, biochemical kidney…
Amongst the additional items, there was a cure for almost all the terminal illnesses in this world.
From common colds and fevers to all kinds of terminal illnesses, there were medications that could be used as treatment. The price also varied with these symptoms. The medications for terminal illnesses were all extremely expensive.
Limb regeneration technology would allow people who lost their limbs to regenerate a new one. This sort of biochemical technology was beyond this world.
There were even medications for all sorts of cancers. If people on Earth saw this, they would definitely go crazy.
Lu Chuan was going crazy as well, but when he saw the price of the medications, it seemed as though a bucket of cold water was poured over his head, calming him down. The price of the additional items were all in the billions and in a short period of time, that was out of reach.
Calculations in the biochemical plant were made based on the modern RMB, with selling prices in the billions. For Lu Chuan, who had a bank balance of not more than 10,000 yuan, that was an insurmountable mountain.
The hurdles ahead were tough but the future was bright, and that gave Lu Chuan hope.
Once he had a billion yuan, he would buy a drug that could treat cancer and sell it to tycoons who were terminally ill for an exorbitant price. With their lives at stake, they would definitely fight over it.
The only headache was the source of the drugs and the possible side effects.
It was just a thought and he might not take action, but just the expectations were enough to make him excited.
His amazing life had begun.
First was to set a small goal. For instance, to earn a billion?
……
The apocalypse was definitely a gold mine in Lu Chuan’s eyes.
A city that only had zombies, countless resources, and wealth. That entire world of wealth was without an owner, waiting for him to take it for himself.
In a world that lacked order, he who controlled a group of zombies would ascend to the top of the power pyramid and step on both zombies and survivors. You can do whatever you want with absolute power.
He could get anything he wanted.
Unconsciously, Lu Chuan’s mind started to wander.
“Cough, that’s too far fetched.”
Lu Chuan was a little embarrassed. The biochemical plant was still level one; only the most basic and ordinary zombies could be produced. As long as a survivor had some brains, they would be able to take on ten of such zombies. If a survivor was armed, taking on twenty wouldn’t be an issue.
Anyone that could survive in this complex, dangerous, and terrifying world was definitely not simple.
With the current state of the biochemical plant, everything was wishful thinking.
Besides, even the most ordinary zombies were currently locked. What was there to play? Screaming in the face of injustice, when the other party sees the tyrant behind him, will they immediately kneel and accept death? He didn’t need to count on that, it was all just wishful thinking.
He pulled his thoughts back. Lu Chuan couldn’t help exclaiming at the power of the biochemical plant.
“The first step is to unlock the first product.”
An ordinary zombie may be weak, but if he used it well and made use of its advantages, it could still be powerful. It could be understood as security.
In any case, it was better than nothing.
