Apocalypse: I Built a Zombie Empire

Reborn into the apocalypse, Zheng Jiu chooses to become a zombie this time. Zombie rank and combat classifications: 1: First-Rank Shambler. Heavily decayed, with stiff limbs, poor eyesight, and a fear of bright light. No intelligence, but enhanced smell and hearing. Some grow bone blades or bone hammers. 2: Second-Rank Strong Zombie. More agile, with noticeably less decay. Usually has two or three enhanced body parts, such as bone spikes or bone armor. 3: Third-Rank Ripper. A qualitative leap above second-rank strong zombies. They begin to specialize as strength, speed, defense, or intelligence types. Their bodies stop decaying completely, they awaken rudimentary psychic power, and they can control some ordinary zombies. 4: Fourth-Rank Assault Zombie. Tough skin impervious to ordinary blades. Nearly as intelligent as a human, they develop biological attacks such as acid and corpse fluid, can communicate in simple terms with other zombies, and are territorial. 5: Fifth-Rank Lord. Their bodies evolve and mutate again, becoming half-human and half-beast. They may develop bone wings, their psychic power takes physical form, and they establish their own domains. 6: Sixth-Rank Calamity. Their bodies can withstand firearms and other conventional weapons. They can speak and possess unique combat skills. 7: Seventh-Rank Zombie King. They have devastating power and can manipulate natural elements such as earth, fire, wind, and water, and establish cities of zombies. 8: Eighth-Rank Zombie Emperor. Extremely rare. Each one can easily withstand nearly a hundred Zombie Kings and possesses its own unique laws. 9: Zombie Queen or Zombie God. The highest stage of zombie evolution, with the most perfect body. Each is an ecosystem in its own right.
