[Evolving zombies + Zombie King + Daoist arts in the Age of Decline + Low-level martial arts + Ruthless and decisive]
"I slept in the darkness for three thousand years, until two grave robbers dug me up."
Construction workers secretly dug up a golden coffin. While opening it, they cut their fingertips, then dumped the dried corpse into a lake on the outskirts of town.
At the bottom of the lake, the corpse slowly opened its eyes and let out a low laugh. "Three thousand years. Let's see what this world has become."
A mysterious corpse poison began to spread. Those infected turned into bloodthirsty zombies. When they devoured their own kind, their genes mutated, giving them skin and bones like bronze and iron, along with sharp fangs and claws. The cities fell in an instant, and the apocalypse began. Folk Daoist priests drew talismans to subdue the corpses, while martial arts instructors punched their way through monsters. Daoist talismans and martial arts proved no match for the relentless advance of the zombie horde.
"Humans are always like this. The harsher the environment, the more they hope. And the more they hope, the more excited I get! Come on! Come on!"
After the nuclear explosion:
"I never expected humanity to gain the power to fight the gods in this Age of Decline."
What's the setting of Corpse Brother? Will it go to a high-level martial arts world later on?
Wow, not bad. This premise is quite interesting, but it feels like it should be an ensemble piece.
