Chapter 645: Zombie Restaurant

No fighting! Ill have whoever fights on a plate if they do

-Mo Ke

Upon confirming that the zombie apocalypse was indeed upon us, our first thought was to scavenge some food in the inn. However, we entered the restaurant only to find a mess of overturned plates, vegetables and furniture.

Nearly twenty zombies were lumbering around the restaurant mindlessly. Of them, there were a mix of both genders, mostly tourists, though some were dressed in the typical white garb of a chef or waiter.

Judging by the time all this happened, it should have been lunch time right as the zombies started appearing. This level of chaos was only to be expected. A number of the zombies had bite marks on them as well. Most likely, they were zombified after death.

Not too long ago, the system had given out my first zombie-related mission. Its reward was a name slot for the Book of Oaths. Using the name slot on one of the girls would allow them to access part of my system as well, turning them into a veritable magical girl.

Sis, look after Jiaojiao for me. Lixiang, just stay here and be quiet. Ill go handle these zombies. Then without waiting for Lixiang to even agree, I gripped down on Icy Inferno and charged into the restaurant.

Even though I might not have my memories, according to Sister Bitong who found me afterwards, I was as strong as the strongest superhuman! And even without actual combat experience, I had more than faced my fair share of monsters in those VR games. If that counted, I was more than a seasoned veteran.

My feet never once slowing down, I smoothly unsheathed Icy Inferno, lopping off a zombies head

While Icy Inferno might still be in its sealed state, that didnt change the fact that it was an epic-grade weapon with a sharpness to match. Even steel was like butter before my Icy Inferno!

To begin with, my superhuman abilities made me faster and stronger than a normal human. With Uncle Yuexiongs Martial Sage Arts of Primordial Chaos, my speed was further raised to a new level by my incorporation of spiritual energy.

Ding! System mission: complete. Reward: name slot for the Book of Oaths.

In just the span of a couple minutes, over a dozen zombies were all dead to my sword!

However, now wasnt the time for me to check my rewards. After taking care of the zombies, I promptly returned to the area where the girls were hiding.

Ke! Maybe we shouldnt eat them yet, how about testing them first? Bitong quickly stepped in when she saw me put the plate up to my nose. Worried, she activated her electronic implant and scanned the plate itself.

The results were inconclusive

To begin with, the zombie virus was probably magical in nature, else the electronic implants on everyone else would have picked it up already, and the whole outbreak could have been prevented.

Lixiang seemed to agree as well.

Hmph, as if some fancy gadget could ever hope to pierce the veil of the arcane so easily Ever ready to throw Bitong under the bus, she swiftly grabbed at this opportunity to make fun of Bitongs attempts.

Well then. Since youre some sort of magical girl, how about you tell us how to check the food?

A method I Of course I have one. Unwilling to back down in front of her rival, she finally said that after rubbing her neck a little. Yet that bravado did not last long. Its just I still have a seal placed on me

So you cant then? Bitong sneered.

Hmph! Who says I cant do it? Livid and face completely red, she shot back. Just not right now. In the future Once I get my seal unlocked, I will show you whats what!

No need for that, we can do it now.

All right. Thats enough out of you two! No more fighting, you hear me? I quickly stepped in when I saw that their argument was only growing more heated by the second.

Because of our situation, my words were a little harsher than usual. Even I was a little surprised and apprehensive about what I just did. I wasnt afraid of Lixiang or anything, I was just scared that Bitong might just lose her temper

Thankfully, the two girls stopped arguing when they saw the look on my face.

Sighwhy cant they just be a little more united? I dont care if they argue, but wont they look at the situation first? The world is ending, for crying out loud!
