Quick Transmigration: Help, The Male Leads Are All Broken!

Trash piled up at the supermarket entrance, along with cars crashed in every direction. Their SUV was parked some distance away.

Su Tang only glanced at the Level Three zombie before sprinting towards the supermarket without hesitation.

“Shen Yi!”

Shen Yi was grabbing clothes. He didn't bother being picky, just stuffing some similarly sized items into a bag. Then, he was suddenly embraced.

Likely out of fear, the person in his arms instinctively clung to his waist.

“There's a Level Three zombie!”

Shen Yi looked down at the woman in his arms. He had once hated her, but later realized that one's perspective changes with their position. Her existence was for research; if it wasn't him, it would have been someone else. If he had a different researcher, perhaps he would be like his 'friends' now.

The hatred had faded somewhat, but the torment of those two years remained. So, to say he liked her was impossible.

“Let go.”

Su Tang had regained her composure. She released him, forcing a calm expression. “Sorry.”

Zombies had levels, as did those with abilities.

Shen Yi's ability wasn't just absorption; he could also briefly wield the absorbed abilities. So, before the Level Three zombie could approach, it was incinerated.

Within the ashes, a mung bean-sized crystal nucleus shimmered in the sunlight.

Crystal nuclei were a form of energy that both ability users and zombies could use to level up. She wondered if this nucleus would be useful to Shen Yi, a zombie himself.

“Shen Yi, take the crystal nucleus.”

In this apocalyptic era, true currency had shifted from gold to crystal nuclei and weapons.

Shen Yi knew this, so he would have taken it even without her prompting.

The Level Three zombie had attracted quite a few lower-level zombies. While Shen Yi dealt with a batch, they kept coming endlessly. Su Tang didn't bother looking for anything else, grabbing some clothes and seasonings before returning to the vehicle.

She drank some water, still shaken, then leaned back against the seat.

Too thrilling. Not suitable for her old soul at all.

Shen Yi tossed a bag of compressed biscuits at her, then scoffed, “Dr. Lin, you need to exercise.”

Su Tang heard the sarcasm but remained unfazed. “I said earlier, I was just going out there to offer myself up.”

“At this rate, you’ll get yourself killed.”

“It’s alright. I still have Mr. Shen. You’re my most successful experiment, after all.”

She shouldn't have mentioned the word 'experiment.' Shen Yi's face darkened at the word.

“Lin Yang, you’re courting death.”

Su Tang’s repeated provocations were to test his limits. Seeing his anger, she decided to stop.

“Sorry, I’m used to it from the research institute. I’ll correct myself.”

She apologized so quickly that Shen Yi could only glare at her. He couldn't kill her, and hitting her would be as good as killing her. As for cursing, Shen Yi didn't stoop to cursing women.

In the end, he could only stew in his own anger.

Su Tang ate some compressed biscuits, easing her stomach discomfort. Then, she suddenly remembered something. “Mr. Shen, you haven’t rested for thirty hours straight. Aren’t you tired?”

Even the zombies outside, unless you ran into them directly, mostly hid during the day, only coming out to hunt at night.

Shen Yi, “I don’t feel tired.”

Su Tang nodded in acknowledgment. “By the way, where’s the crystal nucleus you took?”

Shen Yi, “In my pocket.”

Su Tang, “Try absorbing it.”

Shen Yi channeled his internal power. Soon, the crystal nucleus in his hand turned to dust.

Su Tang’s interest was piqued. “Mr. Shen, after absorbing the nucleus, do you feel any different?”

Shen Yi saw a flicker of light in her usually indifferent eyes and looked away in disgust. “The energy from a Level Three zombie’s nucleus is too weak. I don’t feel anything.”

Su Tang seemed oblivious to his disgust, muttering, “Looks like I’ll have to find more in the future.” She then remembered something else. Zombies of a sufficiently high level would develop intelligence, though intelligence didn't equate to memory.

To zombies, they were zombies, no longer human.

“Mr. Shen, there have been reports that zombies above Level Eight develop intelligence. If you encounter any, be careful.”

Shen Yi raised an eyebrow. “So, what level am I?”

Su Tang, “Having passed through my hands, naturally, Level Ten.”

It wasn't boasting. As the Zombie King, Shen Yi was indeed the only max-level zombie. Otherwise, how could he possess such destructive power?

Hearing this, Shen Yi’s expression turned ominous.

But Su Tang wasn't afraid. She even asked, “Mr. Shen, if you had the chance to become human again, would you want to?”

Shen Yi scoffed. “Would I even have such a chance?”

Su Tang, “You have to believe me.”

Hearing this, Shen Yi finally looked at her directly.

Indeed, if it were her, there might be hope.

However, for a moment, Shen Yi suddenly felt that being human or a zombie made no difference. He had no family or friends left. Even as a human, he would be utterly alone.

The conversation ended abruptly, and Su Tang didn't speak further.

Of course, this was only what Shen Yi saw. Secretly, Su Tang was frantically poking the system. "Doggy, quickly locate some game for me to catch!"

System, "No game, but plenty of mutated beasts."

Su Tang cried internally. Without good food, what was the point of living?

Shen Yi had only found two packs of compressed biscuits. Even with Su Tang's frugality, they were gone in a day. Moreover, the SUV was low on fuel. Fortunately, they spotted a gas station sign, even if they didn't know if it still had any gas.

It was nearing evening. The April breeze was neither cold nor hot. In the past, it would have been perfect for an outing, but now, it was just about survival.

They got out of the car. Su Tang enjoyed the breeze while Shen Yi refueled. Before the tank was full, the gas station was surrounded.

In the apocalypse, humans were often more terrifying than zombies.

“Boss, this chick is hot!”

Indeed, she was. During everyone’s desperate flight for survival, who had time for skincare? But not Lin Yang. She had spent years in the research institute, shielded from the sun and rain. Her skin was flawless, and coupled with her aloof and elegant demeanor, she would have been a goddess in the past.

“Fatty, get lost. Even if she’s beautiful, she’s not for you. The boss gets to enjoy her first.” The tall, skinny man leered at Su Tang, then reluctantly shifted his gaze to Shen Yi. “We don’t need the man. We’re not short on men here.”

“Pretty lady, come here. My men are rough; I wouldn't want you to get hurt.”

Su Tang looked impassively at the muscular man built like a small mountain, silently taking a step back. “Mr. Shen, I’ll leave it to you.”
