Super Zombie Factory - Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Two Zombies

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Lu Chuan walked out of the elevator, his heart was beating frantically.

The elevator in the biochemical plant was not a weakness. Even if the elevator was turned on, the zombies would not be able to enter. The biochemical plant’s defense mechanism would keep the zombies out.

The soft lights inside the factory made Lu Chuan realize that he was safe.

“Yes!”

Lu Chuan shouted, punching the air excitedly.

…

At the boss’s office…

The boss’s office was over 200 square meters and was luxuriously decorated. Based on Lu Chuan’s experience in the renovation industry, all the materials used were premium. The cost of building this office must have been at least ten million yuan.

Just the decoration of an office cost tens of millions. It was jaw-dropping.

Lu Chuan sat in the boss’s chair; it was so comfortable. Lu Chuan closed his eyes and relaxed completely, sinking into it.

As expected of a boss’s office, it was indeed worthy of the word boss.

Everything in the biochemical plant could be controlled through his thoughts. After digitalizing the factory, he could treat it as a game. On the research and development board, the bottom grid of the technology tree had finally lit up.

The icon was the head of an ordinary zombie with a hideous face.

Lu Chuan’s consciousness flashed, and an introduction appeared.

Zombies: First-generation zombies infected by the virus. Don’t expect them to have any combat ability, their role is to intimidate weak humans.

Looking at this introduction, a faint sadness filled his heart.

“Damn it.”

Considering this was a product from a level-one biochemical plant and a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, Lu Chuan learned to be satisfied.

After the first product was activated, the second box turned gray: zombie dogs.

A zombie dog was also a product that could be manufactured by a level-one biochemical plant, but there was a prerequisite. Zombies must be activated before zombie dogs could be.

Gray indicated a state that could be activated, and the black question mark… was unknown.

In other words, Lu Chuan had no way of knowing what zombie product could be activated next.

That wasn’t all; the disguiser program finally appeared in the biochemical plant’s shop.

Disguiser program: Zombies can be disguised to look just like humans. The price of each set is linked to the zombie’s level.

There wasn’t a cost to the program. Lu Chuan would be able to buy it, but once he determined the user, the price would appear. Lu Chuan tried it, using the program on his first product, and the cost was 100,000 yuan.

“…”

At this moment, Lu Chuan had less than 10,000 yuan in savings. Hence, he couldn’t count on this program.

Another piece of information was about funding.

The initial funding of the biochemical plant: 207,665 (200,000 yuan in activation reward funds, 7,665 yuan in personal funds.)

It was easy to understand. The amount in Lu Chuan’s bank and the cash in his pocket was estimated to be around that figure. Based on the magic of the biochemical plant, the 7,665 yuan must be his real current savings.

It cost 100,000 yuan to manufacture one zombie.

“Manufacture two zombies.”

Lu Chuan hesitated slightly, but still gave the order.

The biochemical plant instantly deducted 200,000 yuan, leaving only 7,665 yuan.

…

Lu Chuan stood outside the manufacturing workshop.

Lu Chuan couldn’t see what was happening inside the fully enclosed workshop, but at the production exit, there was a huge glass cylinder.

This glass cylinder was ten meters in diameter, and there was a platform below it.

After issuing the manufacturing order, Lu Chuan came here.

At this moment, mist was injected into the glass cylinder, and nothing else could be seen.

From the mist, there was a faint electric buzz. It seemed as though a terrifying existence was being born.

Gradually, the silhouette of two black shadows appeared in the mist. Their arms hung down, and their heads were lowered. One of them was lame.

When the mist dissipated, two zombies appeared in the glass cylinder.

They weren’t different from ordinary zombies. They were covered with rotten flesh, had hollow eyes, and were standing quietly.

Pssh!

Lu Chuan jumped at the sound.

The glass cylinder rose slowly, freeing the two zombies.

Lu Chuan felt his heart tremble; he had the urge to turn and run away.

Fortunately, the two zombies who were freed did not move and were still standing on the platform. They turned their heads, probably to look around. When they caught sight of Lu Chuan, there wasn’t any intent to pounce on him.

At the same time, Lu Chuan established a mystical connection with these two zombies in his heart. The ability to command them surged through him.

It was the same feeling he had with Uncle Zombie.

“Raise your hands.”

Lu Chuan tried to issue a command, and the two zombies raised their hands almost at the same time.

Simply put, these two zombies were no different from the ones outside in terms of appearance. However, they were manufactured by his biochemical plant. Hence, Lu Chuan could command them with simple instructions.

Zombies, even the ones manufactured by biochemical plants, could not think for themselves.

…

The biochemical plant had an underground building, and Basement 01 was the biochemical plant’s storeroom.

The role of the warehouse was to store products.

The two zombies were immediately sent to Basement 01. They stood in the empty warehouse, entering an idle state, not moving an inch.

…

“If they could be equipped with armor and were holding AKs, the image would be absolutely beautiful.”

If the zombies were wearing armor and holding guns, survivors who saw them would definitely be frightened.

Unfortunately, it would be difficult to accomplish that anytime soon. Lu Chuan used a very primitive method, using whatever that was available.

Off-site.

At a concealed exit, a camouflaged platform was first lowered and then raised.

While it was rising, two freshly manufactured zombies were sent into the construction site.

A level-one biochemical plant allowed Lu Chuan to command manufactured zombies within a distance of one kilometer. The strength of the commands depended on the level of the product, and a level-one zombie couldn’t fulfill many commands.

There were many tools on the construction site and the two freshly manufactured zombies immediately adapted to their identities here.

Strangely, they each picked up two rusty pointed shovels and held them in their hands.

Lu Chuan was doing a test.

The two zombies slowly carried the pointed shovels, and walked unsteadily in front of a construction worker zombie. Next, they raised the pointed shovels and hit the head of the construction worker zombie hard.

The power of the zombies could be fully utilized, and the pointed shovels struck the head at almost the same time.

The construction worker’s head shattered like a watermelon.

The excessive force caused the pointed shovel to bend slightly out of shape. The force of the impact was huge.

If survivors saw this, they would definitely be shocked. It was almost impossible for ordinary zombies to attack each other; it was only possible if high-level zombies were involved.

The lowest level zombies would wander around in groups and could only attack living creatures.

But in front of them, these two zombies had obviously violated that rule.

Due to Lu Chuan’s actions from before, more than 2,000 zombies had swarmed into the construction site. The ruckus attracted a large number of zombies who came following the noise like a tide.

However…

The zombies manufactured by the biochemical plant were indistinguishable from the other ordinary zombies. The group of zombies that swarmed over did not find anything interesting about them, and gradually dispersed.

The two zombies didn’t lose a single strand of hair, and the short and tall pair walked out of the construction site with their deformed pointed shovels.

Thousands of zombies had disregarded them.

No, they were zombies. They didn’t have to worry about other zombies like humans did.

Lu Chuan had been sitting in the large, luxurious boss chair in the boss’s office. He let out a wretched laugh. “Next, it’s time to get rid of poverty.”

Anyone with the ability to travel between the apocalypse and the modern world wouldn’t be able to get rid of a certain thought: that the apocalyptic world was filled with wealth.

There were only a few thousand yuan left in Lu Chuan’s pocket. As a poor man, the idea of ​​becoming rich was much more alluring.

One who doesn’t make use of his advantage is a bas*ard.

Once again, Lu Chuan evaluated the boss’s office. It wasn’t just the decoration, even the functions and technology were incredible.

Sitting in the boss’s chair, Lu Chuan was presented an image similar to AR technology. It wasn’t just realistic, it replicated everything within a kilometer of the biochemical plant in front of Lu Chuan.

That’s right, this kind of technology was much more advanced than the holographic projection technology from AR technology.

The 3D replications made him feel as though he was at the scene.

“It’s really amazing technology.”

With a sigh, Lu Chuan’s eyes focused on the two factory zombies.

The two zombies staggered forward with their pointed shovels, and were soon out of the construction site. Their target was a commercial building next to the construction site.

This commercial building had more than sixty floors. Lu Chuan had observed it. The first floor to the tenth had a commercial structure, and anything higher was for offices.

Within one kilometer, there were several high-rise buildings with dozens to hundreds of floors.

Lu Chuan regarded all these as part of his wealth.

With two zombies who could be commanded easily, Lu Chuan had a simple idea. He was going to let them “pick up” some unowned wealth in the apocalypse to boost his finances.

Cough.

The apocalypse was definitely a place where floors were covered with gold and antiques were randomly tossed about.
