[Zombie Apocalypse, Eternal Night Falls, Sneaky System, Apocalypse Technology, Decisive and Ruthless, Superpowers]
When the eternal night that night owls adore turns into an invitation to a zombie party, every unlucky soul who falls asleep gets a VIP zombie experience pass. Now the pressure is on the living!
While everyone else stockpiles canned food for the apocalypse, I’m using science to go wholesale. The awakened [Apocalypse Science System] immediately starts acting like a sarcastic old hand: “Host, let’s invent something practical, okay? Don’t go copying those flashy Superpowers~”
[Ding! Host’s shelter population exceeds 100. Issuing 3 growth packages.]
So while the fire-powered guy next door is still showing off by roasting potatoes with his bare hands, my T-800 robots are already carrying 7.62 mm “truth persuaders” and giving the zombies a crash course in nine years of compulsory education.
Watching Fang Zheng in his steel armor, the Zombie King questions his entire afterlife: “Humanity’s evolving now, and you’re not even letting us join in?”
While other shelters rely on Superpowered individuals to put on a show, Fang Zheng uses 3D printers to build cybernetic city walls. When the fire-wielding big shot next door boasts that he’ll burn through the base gates, a sentry robot answers with an anti-materiel sniper rifle: “Heard you can breathe fire? Funny, I’ve got a liquid nitrogen fire extinguisher, Pro Max edition.”
As the population surges, the System’s rewards get more and more ridiculous:
At 10,000 people, unlock the T-800 production line.
At 50,000 people, activate the satellite orbital cannon…
