Zombies: An Evolution System? I'm Done Being Human

Zombies | System Evolution | Dark Tone | No Heroine

[Synopsis]

The apocalypse begins with a red fog, global order collapses, and zombies and mutated beasts sweep across the land.

Lu Chen unexpectedly transforms into an elite zombie who retains his reason, embarking on a lone-wolf path of evolution. Feeding on flesh and crystal cores, he unlocks abilities such as hardened scales, mental control, and viral breath, climbing from the lowest-tier undead. He sweeps through civilian strongholds and conquers a military base of tens of thousands in a neighboring city. With extraordinary intelligence and formidable combat strength, he becomes the Gray King in the eyes of humanity.

The global situation deteriorates in parallel: the entire Sakura Nation falls, eighth-tier zombies and deep-sea mutated beasts occupy the coastline, and human defenses retreat step by step. The Nanjiang Theater deploys tactical nuclear weapons to purge the area. Lu Chen hides in deep underground civil-defense works and withstands the nuclear blast. Not only does he survive, he absorbs the radiation and undergoes another genetic leap, reaching the threshold of the seventh tier.

Before the smoke from the nuclear blast has even cleared, heavily armed human forces surround the mountains to hunt him down. Lu Chen hides in a remote mountain cave, beginning his ultimate metamorphosis amid the encirclement and radiation. On the board of the apocalypse, the contest between flesh-and-blood evolution and the steel tide has only just begun.
