Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

The two quickly ran over to the corner of the wall, remaining still as they waited for the thing outside to come in.

But what came out shocked the two of them, as it was the same zombie leader they had been looking for the whole time.

A zombie that almost looked human.

However, unlike what they saw outside earlier with the humans disguised as zombies, the zombie leader in front of them had red eyes and greenish skin.

More shockingly was the female zombie that came in with the zombie leader, as it appeared out of thin air, indicating clearly it was a zombie with the invisible variant.

"Ranzhi, can you make the baby stop crying? It's getting annoying," the zombie leader demanded as he sat down on the sofa and picked up the book lying on the table.

The female zombie quickly headed over to the baby, checking what was wrong with it, then started breastfeeding it.

After a while, the baby stopped drinking the milk and started swinging its arm around like it wanted to play.

The female zombie's face smiled as it carried the baby to the sofa, sitting next to the zombie leader before she started playing with the baby.

"Lin Yu, when are you finished dealing with those humans in the east?" Ranzhi asked as she threw the baby into the air for a second.

"I'm trying to, okay? Stop rushing me. It's hard for me to deal with those damn mutants and humans at the same time."

Lin Yu put the book back down as he got up and dragged one of the corpses inside, then laid it down on the kitchen table.

"Which part of the body do you want to eat today?" Lin Yu asked as he pulled out a knife from the kitchen shelves.

"The thighs are fine... Wait, who's there?"

Both Kate and Xiaoyun immediately froze still as they watched Ranzhi go up all the way to the wall, then started sniffing the air.

"Is it just me, or did it smell like someone came in here?" Ranzhi asked curiously as she finally left and headed to the kitchen.

"You just imagine things in your head. How can any human sneak past all the zombies outside?

Besides, don't you remember I already assigned all the zombies to attack everything that came inside? They are not sneaking past even if they put up fake zombie skins."

Hearing the two talking to each other, Xiaoyun and Kate immediately connect it back to what they saw earlier back on the roof.

"I guess you're right... Maybe I'm just oversensitive... But honey, isn't our daughter not growing at all?"

Ranzhi looked a little concerned as she turned her head to the baby, who had been sleeping peacefully in its crib.

"I don't know. I'm not a doctor. None of the papers tell me what to do in this situation." Lin Yu responded as his voice started to sound more and more angry.

Ranzhi didn't say anything back as the two resumed silence, eating the nicely cut meat on the table.

Meanwhile, Kate and Xiaoyun were both extremely disturbed, as the two zombies were directly consuming human flesh right before their eyes.

The intelligence and the emotional capability shown by the two zombies made them even a little scared, as it almost looked too human to be a zombie.

Without wasting any more time, Xiaoyun pressed Kate's palm three times, signaling her to get ready.

Slowly, the two carefully walked all the way to the door before Xiaoyun signaled her to stop.

Despite only communication through writing on her palm, Kate quickly understood his message as she pulled her gun and pointed at the female zombie.

"Fine."

As the two zombies turned their heads towards the sound, a flash appeared out of thin air, with a bullet both hitting them in the head.

But to their disappointment, the bullet fell onto the ground, only leaving a dent on their forehead.

Xiaoyun didn't hesitate.

He immediately pulled the pin of the grenade and threw it toward the two zombies before dragging Kate out of the door.

With the door slammed closed, the two could hear a loud explosion going off inside before smoke seeping through the gap below the door.

The two slowly took a step back away from the door as they waited for signs of the two zombies coming out from the inside.

Suddenly, the fire alarm began to sound throughout the entire building. But the inside remained close, and nothing came out.

Even as the sound of a baby crying began coming from the inside, there were still no signs of the two mutant zombies leaving the building.

"You think they are dead?" Kate started to question.

"Maybe... But I don't trust it. I'm not going inside to check it."

Xiaoyun murmured as he created another grenade in hand, getting ready to throw it inside to double-check.

To his surprise, just as he approached the door, it finally opened, causing him to immediately run back to Kate as they watched what came out.

"Ahem, we surrender. We don't mean any harm."

The two zombies stepped out of the door with the baby in hand. But their body was extremely chalked, with burn marks and shrapnel all over their body.

"Why would we accept your surrender? You're a zombie." Xiaoyun pointed out, then quickly repositioned to the other side.

"We just want to live... We don't want to eat humans either. But our brain controls our urges to kill and eat.

Please, we'll forever leave this city. All I'm begging you is to let at least my wife and daughter go. You can take my life if that's what you want. "

Seeing the two zombies fall to their knees and sincerely beg, Xiaoyun and Kate felt a little bad.

But they were not fooled by a possible fake appearance, as they knew this was the best chance they had to kill a potential enemy.

"Are there more zombies like you out there? How did you two meet each other?" Xiaoyun suddenly asked.

"I don't know... I haven't met any other zombies like us... We just woke up one day, and the next thing we knew, we're like this." Lin Yu replied.

"How long have you guys been like this, then?" Xiaoyun curiously asked as he started to get a little intrigued.

The two zombies froze for a second as they looked at each other, and then Lin Yu spoke up again.

"I remember it was during the night before the outbreak. I was starting to get a headache while we just finished... having sex."

Lin Yu waited for a second, as if they were both embarrassed by it and then continued.

"We both quickly lost control of our body and started going around and eating people until we regained control again."

"Control? Like right now?" Kate curiously asked.

"Yeah. Before then, we could only watch our bodies eat our neighbors and everything," Lin Yu replied.

As the fire alarm kept ringing in the background, Kate could feel Xiaoyun starting to hesitate despite it being clear they should just kill all three of them.

"How about the baby? Where did it come from?" Xiaoyun asked another question.

"She... She gave birth to it. We had our wedding night on the day of the outbreak." Lin Yu replied as he looked down to the ground, looking a little embarrassed again.

"Damn... A zombie can give birth?" Kate murmured as she began to realize how groundbreaking it sounded.

"Not exactly... We can't actually have sex or do any of that... Our body part can't actually feel that kind of stuff."

Lin Yu explained as he could tell the two sounded a little alerted by the fact that zombies could reproduce.

"Then how did the baby come alive? Is it a zombie?" Xiaoyun raised his concern as the evidence in front of them was clear.

"I cut my belly open after it got too big... I'm pretty sure I got pregnant on the wedding night before we turned into zombies.

And about the baby... I'm not sure if it is a zombie or not. It hasn't eaten anything besides my breastmilk."

Ranzhi replied this time as she looked down in embarrassment, this time for saying it out loud.

Seeing the two looking a little embarrassed, they couldn't help but feel they didn't feel like any sort of zombie leader at all.

Instead, they looked more like a newlywed couple just getting used to adult life. It is almost reminiscent of his own experience back when he was Songming with Leyan.

But still, Xiaoyun and Kate knew they needed to decide to end it one way or another.

"I just have one more question... If you can answer this, I'll actually let you go."

Both zombies immediately turned their heads up, filled with hope, with Kate looking a little confused about why Xiaoyun even attempted to let them go.

"How does your ability work?"
