Chapter 44 - 3.1 Can A Zombie Set Up A Big Tent?
"President Ru, are you alright?" Yunyu opened his eyes. He was surrounded by few young, vigorous men around his real age. His eyes darted up for a moment, and he saw a very handsome man, with gentle features, pouring a light that came out of his hand. The light showered his face and it somehow soothe his painful body.
His body was now in pain, how to describe the pain? Maybe that time when he tried to hit the gym because he was inspired by Han Ye's beautiful abs, only to get horrible cramps all over his body. He was paralyzed for three days straight.
He had to call for the hospital emergency service, when the doctor asked him the cause, he just said that he wanted a sexy abs.
Yunyu looked up to watch the gentle face of this handsome man again, then he looked around to check every young man who surrounded him.
[To be surrounded by many handsome young men, am I in heaven?]
[Pupa: It would be surprising if you can go to heaven.]
[For real though, where am I?]
[Pupa: Apocalypse zombie world, your identity is Ru Lan, the president of the biggest settlement in this region. You are a powerful ability user, although, based on my data, you should be an ice ability user. But it changes suddenly to… lightning ability user.]
[Wow, I am now a powerful ability user? You won't pit me into something again now, right?] Yunyu asked with certain suspicion in his heart. This black bellied system often put him into a disadvantageous position, just like what happened with Duke Damien as a vampire, and Li Yunyu as a poor orphan.
[Pupa: I want to… but I don't think I have the chance in this world.]
[… so you really planned to pit me…]
[Pupa: Yes.]
[You could've just lied, at least!]
Yunyu was reading the character setting for Ru Lan, and noticed that President Ru Lan was a very rigid, expressionless, tight man that would never consider dating anyone, be it man or woman. Because he was busy protecting the settlement.
[… So I cannot date at all in this world? Not even once?]
[Pupa: No, once you officially date someone, we will get booted out of the world and will have to restart again.]
[Just when I thought you would go easy on me once.]
[Pupa: I am going easy on you. You're a dateless, single dog for your entire life in your real world. It is no different here.]
[For god sake, let me have my fantasy here!]
While Yunyu and the Pupa system were arguing against each other, the handsome man who had the light power asked, "President Ru, if you are still feeling unwell, we should return to the base now.
Yunyu shook his head, his head was on that handsome man's lap, so his hair rubbed on that man's thighs comfortably.
[Hehe, his lap feels so nice.]
[Pupa: Get up, you pervert.]
Yunyu got up and coughed a few times. He fixed his ties and scanned his surroundings. He was in an open field, with thousands of zombies coming his way. But a bunch of young ability users tried to hold them down as much as they could, because they were waiting for President Ru to wake up after overcharging his body.
Yunyu commanded, "All of you, get back!"
Those young ability users who heard the command of the mighty president looked at him in awe. They retreated immediately and stood behind President Ru, acting as backup.
The hordes of zombies charged towards Yunyu who stood alone in the open field. Yunyu prepared himself, he stood straight, like a pole. Then he placed his index and middle finger on his forehead.
Slowly, blitzes of lighting appeared on his fingers. The veins on his forehead bulged out, he took a deep breath and the blitzes of lighting concentrated into a spinning electric ball on his fingers.
He watched the hordes of zombies who were getting nearer, then glanced at the ground under the zombies, he took another deep breath and pointed his index and middle finger at the ground in front of the zombies.
"Special beam cannon!" the electric ball on Yunyu's hand turned into a highly concentrated laser beam. The laser hit the ground in the middle of the zombies hordes and…
BOOM!
The ground exploded and the zombies were either destroyed by the direct explosion, burned to death or crushed by the rubble. After the explosion, the men behind Yunyu were left in awe, staring at President Ru with admiration.
"Go take their brains," Yunyu commanded.
The backup rushed to the scene and extracted the crystalized brains of the zombies.
In this world, all zombies had its worth. After they turned into zombies, their brain shrank and crystallized into a small bead inside their skull. These beads were valued as a currency in every settlement in the country.
Because the brain beads had many uses, it could be used as fuel to light up the electricity by using the new developed technology, it could also be used as a fertilizer for plants, and for some, it was also used as jewellery.
While those young ability users gathered the brain beads, the handsome, gentle man who healed him before approached him and asked, "Is that your new technique, President?"
Yunyu glanced at the handsome man who was on his shoulder level. Ru Lan was 187 centimetre. He was a tall, strong, handsome mature man. So everyone dwarfed compared to him, including this man who was about 180 centimetre.
"Yes, it is my new technique that I developed myself," Yunyu replied.
[Pupa: That technique comes from a very popular anime franchise in your world. You just did shameless plagiarism.]
[W—Well, they don't know about that anime anyway! Let me shine for a moment!]
"President Ru is really amazing, you can eliminate thousands of zombies in one attack," the handsome young man complimented. His cheeks started blushing and he said, "I admire you a lot."
Yunyu cleared his throat and only replied with a low hum.
[Whoa, this young man is really handsome. He has a gentle, soothing aura around him. He is a master of the world's quality! Tell me system, is this our ML?]
[Pupa: He is Bi He, twenty years old, and his ability is light healing. He also serves as the Vice President and your assistant. He is not the master of the world though. Instead, he is the love interest of the master.]
[… if someone as handsome as him is not the master of the world, then who would be?]
[Pupa: The Master of the world is Ling Kai, the zombie king.]
[A zombie?!]
[Pupa: Yes, a real zombie.]
[… can he even get it up?]
[Pupa: Pardon?]
[I'm just wondering… can a zombie set up a big tent?]
