C2 Synthetic Zombie

Ye Lee guessed that there would be at least four zombies based on the noises he heard. He couldn't help but doubt his own capabilities when he thought about this. How could an ordinary person like him, who lacked the awakened gene, subdue four zombies?

However, he didn't get time to prepare an escape since his eyes were drawn to these four male zombies, who were already standing in front of him.

Ye Lee quickly rolled over, avoiding the pounce from the four zombies.

He then felt something very hard on the ground after rolling over the ground.

He then checked the object he touched more closely and discovered that it was an iron rod.

He had no idea why there was an iron rod in the hospital ward, but he knew it could make a massive difference in his current situation. At the very least, instead of fighting the four zombies with his bare hands, he could now battle them to death with this iron rod.

Ye Lee clutched the iron rod firmly, got up from the ground, and slammed one of the zombies on its head with it.

Now that he held the last strand of hope for survival in his hands, his desire to live, which had been buried deeply inside his heart, burst forth. All the potential in his body was stirred by the drive of the overwhelming burst of emotions.

He had only one thought at the time, and that was to kill the four zombies.

With his strong desire burning inside, Ye Lee smashed the other three zombies fiercely once again, and they instantly fell to the ground.

"Phew …"

Looking at the sight in front of his eyes, Ye Lee let out a sigh of relief. But he understood that zombies would not die easily just because he smashed them with the iron rod.

Just as he was about to flee, the four zombies stood up from the ground and rushed towards him again.

The situation was back to square one that he had no choice but to use the iron rod to smash the four zombies' heads.

He had no idea where he got all of the strength, but he knocked the four male zombies to the ground once again.

Although his strength was not enough to remove the heads of these zombies from their bodies or kill them, it was enough to make them lost their ability to move for a short period.

"Host, you can synthesize these four male zombies."

Just as Ye Lee was about to leave the ward, the voice of the system arised in his mind.

As the voice faded, four grids appeared in Ye Lee's mind.

Each zombie would occupy one grid.

Above each grid, the term "Level 1 Zombie" was displayed. They were all Level 1 zombies, as indicated by the system.

It had been over a hundred years since the apocalypse began. Throughout these years, the levels of the zombies had been clearly divided.

The zombies of Levels 1 to 5 were regarded as ordinary zombies.

Meanwhile, those with a level of 6 to 10 were referred to as high-level zombies.

And mutated zombies were defined as zombies with levels higher than Level 10.

The difference in power between a mutated zombie and a Level 10 zombie was like the distance betweem heaven and earth.

The lowest level mutated zombie was known as First Grade zombie, and its eyes were green.

"System, how can I synthesize them?" Ye Lee couldn't help but question the system as he was still unfamiliar with the process.

"Host, all you have to do is drag the image of a Level 1 zombie and place it on the image of another Level 1 zombie."

Ye Lee dragged the image of a Level 1 zombie onto the image of another Level 1 zombie, as instructed by the system.

"Are you sure you want to synthesize them?" The system asked him whether to verify the process before proceeding.

"I'm sure!"

Ye Lee pressed the OK button after hearing the system's assurance words.

Right after he pressed the button, the two Level 1 zombies he had placed together synthesized, and the title displayed above the grid changed to "Level 2 zombie."

Ye Lee became a little excited as he observed the successful process. Then he repeated the previous procedures, transforming the other two Level 1 zombies into a Level 2 zombie.

Just like that, the original four Level 1 zombies got transformed into two Level 2 zombies.

"System, the combination of these two zombies can create a Level 3 zombie, right?"

"Yes, host."

Hearing this, Ye Lee once again synthesized the two Level 2 zombies into a Level 3 zombie.

Although a Level 3 zombie was merely an ordinary zombie, nothing comparable to a high-level zombie, that wasn't the point here. What was important was that he could now synthesize zombies.

In this case, he could create an army of zombies.

"I thought I would have a hard life in this apocalyptic world, but now it seems that my future will be very exciting."

A burst of laughter escaped from Ye Lee's lips as he murmured. Looking at the Level 3 zombie in front of him, he couldn't help but think, 'They look really scary.'

Ding...

"Host, since this is your first time synthesizing a zombie, congratulations on obtaining a Treasure Chest. Would you like to open it?"

"Open."
