First day , first Interaction with a zombie in the apocalyptic world

Grrr….

Grulll….

Kael felt an inexplicable sense of danger and turned to look in the direction the blood-curdling sound was coming from.

"Oh, it's a human, just like me. I thought there was some kind of monster or something. Brother, what happened to you? Why is your skin so greenish, and you smell really bad? I mean, you smell like a dead rat."

"Grr? Grrull?"

It's the first time someone is doing nothing in front of a zombie, so it is confused and doesn't know what to do at that moment.

"Okay... okay... It's your choice if you want to take a bath or not, but can you tell me what this place is? Where am I currently?"

"Grr? Grrull?"

"Oh... looks like you are also new to this place, just like me. I can understand that you don't know anything about this place by looking at your deadpan look on your face. Hmm, it's okay. By the way, did you hear a mechanical voice a few minutes back?"

"Grr? Grrull?"

"Ah? Looks like you're mute. Okay then, brother, I won't disturb you anymore. I will find everything myself. Bye, we will meet again." Kael raised his hand to say goodbye and slowly walked forward in a tattered dress.

The zombie also raised its hand with a blank look on its face and crudely waved it in the air. But it suddenly came back to its senses and ran towards Kael.

"Oh, brother, do you also want to come with me?" asked Kael, with a surprised look on his face.

"Grrrr…."

The zombie lunged at him with a bloodthirsty look on its face.

"Oh, fuck, what's wrong with you, brother? Why are you angry?" Kael thought, "Shit, even though he is mute, I think he can hear what I said."

"Green brother, I'm very sorry. I didn't mean to say you smell like a dead rat. You actually smell nice, just like Rose, Lily, Jasmine," said Kael with an awkward smile on his face while dodging the attacks from the zombie.

"Grrr…."

"Fuck, why are you trying to bite me now? Do you know there is no medicine for a human bite? The hell if you don't stop trying to bite me, I'm going to break all your teeth," shouted Kael angrily.

"Grrr…."

"Fuck you." Kael moved his hand to take the huge rock and smashed it at the zombie's face.

Crack...

The lower jaw separated from the zombie's face and fell to the ground.

"What the fuck? I didn't do it. I don't know what happened here," he ran away from there without turning back.

The zombie, dizzy from Kael’s attack, slowly came back to its senses, but Kael was nowhere to be found. The zombie became dull and started roaming around the place lifelessly.

"What the fuck is wrong with that green brother? I know my attack will be painful, but not even in my dream did I think that my attack would break the lower jaw part from his face. What can I do if he goes and files a police complaint? How can I escape from the police chasing?" Kael murmured while holding his head with an annoyed look on his face.

[Host…]

Kael, who was distracted and lost in thought, snapped back to reality when he heard the irritable mechanical voice.

"You again? Who are you? Why can I only hear you and can't see you?" asked Kael, with a questioning gaze on his face.

The system didn't answer his questions and continued in its mechanical voice.

[Host, since the first thing you did after you were reborn in this apocalyptic world was fighting with a zombie… you meet the unique requirement for the mission. Kill five zombies to unlock the Undead Leader title. With the Undead Leader title, you can control two zombies that are killed by you. If you want to control more level 1 zombies, you have to upgrade the level of your title.]

"Host? Zombies? Undead Leader title? Stop talking nonsense already and answer my questions," asked Kael, with a frustrated look on his face.

[You can identify me as a system, and I don't have any physical body. I'm a part of your soul.]

"System? Why do I have to listen to you?"

[If you listen to me, I can help you become the strongest being in this world. If you don't listen, then you won't grow strong, and you will die in the hands of the zombies.]

"You keep telling me the word 'zombie.' Are zombies real?"

[Yes.]

"Wait, the brother that I met a few minutes back is also a zombie?"

[Yes.]

"What?" A cold sweat formed on his forehead.

"As you said, they are zombies. How can I kill them? I'm just an ordinary human being."

[Host, it doesn't matter how you kill them. As long as they died because of you, it is considered that you killed them, and the mission will be completed.]

Kael was in deep thought. He suddenly caught sight of a kid running in a certain direction.

"I just saw a kid running in that direction," Kael murmured and hurriedly moved in the direction the kid ran.

"Where is he? If there are any survivors, maybe I can ask them to lend me a few weapons that I can use to kill the zombies," Kael moved forward while looking around cautiously.

"This metallic smell, is it blood?" Kael sniffed the smell a few times and moved in the direction the strong metallic smell was coming from.

There were child zombies greedily eating an adult human being.

"System, if I kill these child zombies, is it considered passing the mission?" asked Kael, with a stern gaze on his face.

[Yes, but the requirement of child zombies you have to kill will be raised to 10. So if you kill the 10 of these child zombies, you will pass the mission.]

"So what if the kill count is raised to 10? They are still kids, how strong can they be?" After hesitating for a moment, he reached out his hand to take the sturdy tree branch and moved towards the child zombies.

All the child zombies sensed his presence when he came close enough to them. They all turned to look at him in unison, with blood all over their hands and mouths, dripping down onto the ground.
