- Global Reincarnation: Only I Know the Plot
- GROIKTP Chapter 21-30
“Hello everyone!”
“Let me introduce myself. My name is ‘Ye Gucheng,’ a D-level Reincarnator.”
Upon hearing the young man’s introduction, everyone in the room was taken aback!!
D-level!!
“World War Z” is the first mandatory dungeon world for all Reincarnators attempting the Tower of Reincarnation.
This means that this young man, like everyone else, had been hanging around the safe zone previously.
Achieving a D-level rating in the safe zone is incredibly difficult…
This demonstrated that this young man was no ordinary individual.
The next moment.
The young man revealed the crescent moon tattoo on his wrist, showing a capital letter “D”!
(Strength ratings, from highest to lowest: S, A, B, C, D, E…)
Seeing everyone’s astonished expressions, the young man was quite satisfied.
He then smiled and said, “Everyone here is trying to challenge the Tower of Reincarnation. I’m sure you all have a good understanding of the dangers of the first dungeon world!”
“So, I want to ask if anyone is willing to join my team? We can form an alliance and split the rewards equally after completing the task!”
“You all know that there’s strength in numbers. If we band together and hold a high ground, it will be easier to survive!”
“What do you think?”
Hearing this, Chen Ye had no interest at all.
Another alliance proposal!
It sounded appealing, having the backing of a strong individual and the promise of shared rewards.
But!
There’s no such thing as a free lunch.
This young man had D-level strength, and he didn’t need to lead others to complete the task. Why would he do it?
So, Chen Ye thought, this young man must have ulterior motives!!
Most of the other Reincarnators understood this simple reasoning and ignored the young man’s words.
However, there are always some fools in the world…
Following the young man’s proposal, a few people, mostly girls, expressed interest in forming an alliance with him.
Chen Ye could only shake his head.
“Welcome, everyone… Anyone else want to join the alliance?” the young man asked again.
No one responded.
The young man didn’t mind and started discussing plans with his new allies.
In the blink of an eye, 10 minutes passed.
The system’s prompt sounded:
“Starting teleportation countdown: 10, 9, 8… 3, 2, 1!”
The countdown ended.
Everyone in the white room was enveloped in red light and disappeared…
…
When Chen Ye’s vision cleared, he found himself on a bustling street.
It was a thriving metropolis.
The streets were filled with traffic, surrounded by countless high-rise buildings.
The sunlight from above created a warm, lazy feeling.
A sign by the road marked the city’s name: Boston!
Boston.
Located in the northeastern Atlantic coast of the Sam Empire, it is the capital and largest city of Massachusetts.
Famous universities like Harvard and MIT are situated in this city!
“Attention: Task issued!”
“Main Task: Survive in this city for 10 hours and kill at least 10 zombies!”
“Task duration: 10 hours.”
“Task failure: Dead!!”
“Warning: Do not leave the city limits! Violators will be erased!!”
“Note: The more zombies you kill in 10 hours, the higher your task rating!”
“Alert: The virus will appear in 30 minutes. Prepare accordingly…”
…
Hearing the task, Chen Ye became alert.
He immediately sprang into action…
While other Reincarnators were looking for weapons, securing high ground, or building defensive fortresses, Chen Ye took a different approach!!
He chose a secluded alley and climbed through a window into a house.
The house belonged to a middle-aged white couple.
Seeing an intruder, the husband rushed forward to drive him out but was knocked out cold by a single punch from Chen Ye…
Chen Ye’s strength attribute was already at 25 points.
That’s more than twice that of an average person!
He was like a strongman!
A single punch, and an ordinary person stood no chance.
“Ah!!”
The remaining white housewife screamed shrilly upon seeing her husband fall.
“Shut up, lady, or I won’t hesitate to break your pretty teeth!” Chen Ye said fluently in English.
This body had already mastered the English language.
Hearing Chen Ye’s threat, the white housewife stopped screaming immediately.
“Please don’t hurt me… I-I can give you all the money!” she stammered in fear.
“No!” Chen Ye shook his head and said, “I don’t need money. Tell me, where are your guns?”
———————–
Chapter 22
That’s right!
Chen Ye chose to break into a private residence to steal guns!!
He had already checked the shops in the safe zone and found that they didn’t sell such dangerous items.
And he couldn’t bring real-world firearms into the Reincarnation Space, so he had to steal them himself.
The Sam Empire, known as the land of freedom.
Here, civilians are allowed to own firearms as long as they are citizens and at least twenty-two years old, they can buy guns from legitimate stores.
A country flooded with guns!
Almost every household has firearms!
“Uh…”
The white woman hesitated for a moment, but seeing the fierce look in Chen Ye’s eyes, she quickly said, “In the drawer in the bedroom!!”
At this moment, Chen Ye’s appearance was that of a burly man (thanks to the system). His glare was indeed intimidating.
“Take me there… Remember, no tricks. I just want the gun. Don’t make me hurt you or your husband!!”
“Okay! Okay! I’ll take you…”
With the white woman’s cooperation, Chen Ye quickly got his hands on a firearm.
A Beretta M92F handgun!!
The magazine still had six bullets.
Seeing Chen Ye nod in satisfaction, the white woman tentatively asked, “Sir, you’ve got what you wanted. Please let us go…”
Chen Ye nodded, then struck the back of the woman’s head, knocking her out.
He did this to prevent her from immediately calling the police and causing trouble for him.
As for her calling the police after she woke up… by then, the entire city would have become a playground for zombies, and the presence of the police would be questionable.
Afterwards, Chen Ye took some cash from the couple’s pockets and left through the front door.
Out on the street, Chen Ye hailed a taxi.
“Hello, buddy. Where to?” The driver was a young black man.
“The CDC!”
“Oh… buddy, you don’t have some infectious disease, do you?”
“I’m perfectly healthy!”
Chen Ye took out all the cash and waved it in front of the driver. “Get me to the CDC in ten minutes, and it’s all yours!”
“No problem! Sir, please buckle up!”
…
Eight minutes later.
Chen Ye tossed the cash and got out of the car, quickly walking into the CDC.
There were still a few minutes left before the zombie virus outbreak.
He needed to find what he was looking for quickly.
So, what exactly did Chen Ye want at the CDC?
Anyone who’s seen the movie “World War Z” would remember a crucial point.
In this world, while the zombies were incredibly fierce, possibly the strongest zombies ever, they had a fatal flaw…
They only attacked healthy humans!!
Humans with diseases were not targeted by the zombies.
The sicker a person was, the more the zombies avoided them.
This setting was quite bizarre!
Such a powerful zombie virus, yet it despised or even feared other viruses or diseased cells… the scriptwriter’s logic was indeed unique.
In the original plot, the protagonist Gerry Lane discovered this, then organized the surviving humans to drive the zombies out of the human cities, becoming the savior…
A very clichéd storyline.
However.
This didn’t concern Chen Ye.
His task was to survive and kill zombies.
Knowing the plot, he understood that the best way was to infect himself with a disease, making the zombies avoid him.
Then!
He could hunt zombies boldly without fear of being surrounded.
So, Chen Ye came to the CDC.
Afraid that the doctors wouldn’t cooperate, Chen Ye brought a gun…
This was Chen Ye’s plan!!
…
As soon as he entered the CDC lobby, a blonde nurse approached him.
“Hello, sir. How can I help you?”
Chen Ye ignored the nurse and fixed his gaze on a middle-aged doctor in a white coat with a name tag.
The next moment.
To the nurse’s horror, Chen Ye pulled out his gun, approached the middle-aged doctor, grabbed him, and fired a shot into the air!
“Bang!”
The loud gunshot echoed through the lobby.
“Ah!!!”
The nurse screamed in terror.
The entire CDC lobby fell into panic, with all patients and medical staff dropping to the ground.
It seemed.
People in the “land of freedom” were well-versed in handling shootings, knowing that the first response should be to drop to the ground to avoid stray bullets, rather than running around like headless chickens…
The shot Chen Ye fired was merely a warning.
He had no time to waste negotiating, so he resorted to force right away.
Chen Ye then lifted the cowering middle-aged doctor, pointing the gun at his head.
“Hello, doctor. From now on, whatever I say, you do exactly as told, or I can’t guarantee your head won’t explode,” Chen Ye threatened.
“Okay, okay…” The middle-aged doctor trembled with fear.
“Thank you for your cooperation. Now, take me to the virus lab!”
———————-
Chapter 23
Hearing that Chen Ye wanted to go to the virus lab, the middle-aged doctor immediately assumed he was a terrorist.
He didn’t dare disobey or voice any objections.
Chen Ye looked like a fierce and volatile man, not someone to be messed with. To save his own life, the middle-aged doctor complied obediently.
With the doctor’s guidance, Chen Ye reached the virus lab smoothly.
Although people outside had already called the police, Chen Ye was not worried.
Because.
In just 10 minutes, the zombie virus would spread throughout the city…
The virus lab was a cold storage room with very low temperatures.
This was to better preserve the viruses.
Various viruses were stored in numerous large, precise metal canisters.
As Chen Ye curiously looked around, the middle-aged doctor beside him couldn’t help but warn:
“Sir, please be careful. Any of these viruses, if leaked, would be a huge disaster for humanity…”
Chen Ye smiled and asked, “Then, can you tell me which of these viruses can cause rapid infection and has fatal risks?”
Hearing this, the middle-aged doctor trembled.
He became even more certain that the yellow-skinned man in front of him was a terrorist.
Coming to the CDC to steal viruses was for some act of terrorism…
Seeing the doctor hesitate, Chen Ye didn’t hesitate to press the gun against his head.
Chen Ye coldly said, “You have 3 seconds, 3…”
“2…”
Before Chen Ye finished counting, the middle-aged doctor quickly said, “Most of these viruses are deadly, but the fastest to show symptoms is the KBN virus!”
(PS: To avoid issues, the real virus name is not used. Please understand.)
Chen Ye’s eyes lit up as he found the KBN virus the doctor mentioned. Playing with the vial, he asked, “What are the symptoms if infected?”
“Initial symptoms include fever and hair loss. After 2-3 days, vomiting, headaches, joint pain, fatigue, nausea, and dizziness occur. Even the strongest person would die within 7 days of infection…”
Hearing the doctor’s explanation, Chen Ye laughed.
This was exactly the virus he was looking for!
“So, doctor, how is this virus transmitted? Orally or by injection?”
“Uh…” The doctor replied reluctantly, “Mainly through droplets, but injection is faster.”
“Good!”
Chen Ye snapped his fingers and handed the virus vial to the doctor, ordering, “Inject me!”
“What?”
The middle-aged doctor thought he had misheard.
“Sir? Did you say you want to inject this virus into yourself?”
“Yes!” Chen Ye confirmed with a nod.
In ten hours, he would leave this world, and the system would restore him to normal, so there was nothing to fear.
The middle-aged doctor didn’t know this and was shocked. “Oh my God! Sir, this joke isn’t funny at all. Do you know how dangerous this virus is?”
Chen Ye’s face darkened instantly, and he coldly said, “Shut up. Do you think I’m joking? Do it now!”
“Okay, okay, please don’t get angry…”
The doctor quickly prepared a syringe and injected the virus into Chen Ye’s arm.
Then, the doctor put on a mask to avoid infection…
At first.
Chen Ye didn’t feel any discomfort.
After a few minutes, the symptoms began to appear, with his body temperature rising.
The doctor hadn’t lied.
This virus’s infection was indeed rapid.
“Sir, you are surrounded, and the police are on their way. Release Dr. David and surrender immediately…”
The threat from the hospital security outside the cold storage room did not bother Chen Ye.
He was waiting.
Waiting for the zombie virus outbreak!!
The middle-aged doctor gulped and pleaded carefully, “Sir, I’ve done everything you asked. Please let me go. I have a wife and children. They can’t live without me…”
Chen Ye turned to the doctor and grinned, “That’s really unfortunate. Soon, they won’t be your family anymore.”
“What?”
Just as he finished speaking, screams of terror suddenly erupted from outside.
“Ah!!!”
——————–
Chapter 24
“Ah! Help!!!”
The bustling streets of Boston were suddenly pierced by a scream, shattering the peaceful atmosphere.
Immediately afterward, chaos erupted in the distance.
Several “people” burst out from a nearby market and onto the street, biting anyone they encountered.
The sudden turn of events left many people no time to react, resulting in numerous bites.
Screams grew louder and more frequent.
Some people were bitten, some were killed on the spot.
Those bitten transformed within seconds, becoming feral and frenzied, then turning to attack others.
“Roar! Roar!”
From their throats came sounds similar to wild beasts.
More and more people were attacked.
The street was filled with screams, car crashes, and children’s cries…
Instantly.
The entire street descended into utter chaos!!
…
Elsewhere.
On the rooftop of a tall building, over a dozen people stood, observing the chaos below.
Each person was armed, mostly with machetes, though a few had guns.
Leading them was a young man holding a black, glowing sword, coldly watching the zombies below.
They were all Reincarnators!!
“The zombies are here. Is the rooftop entrance securely blocked?” the leader asked.
“Don’t worry, it’s tightly sealed! Without a bulldozer, it won’t budge,” someone responded.
The young man nodded and looked at a middle-aged man beside him, “Make some noise to attract the zombies!”
They had taken over a three-story shopping mall. The young man’s plan was to attack the zombies from the rooftop, where the zombies couldn’t reach them.
Unfortunately, he underestimated the zombies in this world…
…
At the CDC.
Hearing the screams from outside, Dr. David turned pale with fear.
“Oh my God, what’s happening out there?”
“You can go see for yourself,” Chen Ye said with a smile.
Chen Ye didn’t look well at this moment.
Even though he was in a cold storage room, his forehead was covered in sweat.
His hair had turned white and was falling out.
Chen Ye was running a high fever!!
The virus Dr. David injected into him had a strong reaction, breaking down various cells in his body, causing his immune system to fight back by inducing a fever.
But Chen Ye didn’t mind.
In fact.
This was exactly what he wanted.
“Doctor, you’re free to go!”
With that, Chen Ye stood up and walked outside.
Seeing Chen Ye leave, the middle-aged doctor was relieved and quickly ran off to find his wife and children.
With the chaos outside, he had no idea what had happened to them.
However.
Just as he reached the door, he saw the terrifying man return.
David was startled, fearing that Chen Ye had come back to kill him, turning even paler.
“Oh, by the way, you must have stimulants or some kind of banned drugs here, right? Get me some…”
Hearing this request, David finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it wasn’t to kill him!
“Alright, sir, please follow me!”
Dr. David led Chen Ye to the pharmacy and quickly found two bottles.
“This is a steroid, which can trigger protein synthesis and stimulate muscle growth, increasing your strength.”
“This is erythropoietin, which can increase the number of oxygen-carrying red blood cells, greatly enhancing your oxygen supply. Your stamina and endurance will also increase significantly!”
“Sir, both of these drugs have very severe side effects, please use them cautiously.”
Chen Ye, who didn’t care about a lethal virus, certainly didn’t care about side effects.
Taking the two bottles, Chen Ye smiled and said, “Thanks for the reminder. You’re a good doctor. Good luck!”
With that, Chen Ye turned and left.
This time, he was really gone.
Shortly after Chen Ye left, Dr. David ran out of the CDC, only to be stunned by the sight outside.
The streets were soaked in blood.
Severed limbs and flesh were everywhere.
Not far away, “people” were crouched, feasting on a corpse…
“Roar!!”
As David stood there in shock, a hideous “woman” suddenly lunged at him, biting his shoulder and knocking him to the ground…
It seemed Chen Ye’s hope was in vain—God did not protect David!
—————–
Chapter 25
Chen Ye did not leave the CDC.
Even though he knew the plan and had prepared for everything, he still felt a bit uneasy about whether the virus in his body would be effective.
If the plan failed, his fate would be dire, and it would be fortunate if he could keep his body intact.
To be cautious, Chen Ye decided to find a lone zombie to test the virus.
He searched the second floor of the CDC and finally found some movement in an archive room.
There were continuous sounds of chewing coming from inside!
Chen Ye immediately quieted his footsteps and approached stealthily.
Then, he saw the scene inside the archive room: a female nurse zombie was feasting on the corpse of a chubby middle-aged white man!
The most speechless part for Chen Ye was that these two only had clothes on their upper bodies…
It was obvious that when the zombie virus outbreak occurred, they were engaged in some unspeakable activity.
However, a single female zombie was still something Chen Ye could handle with his current strength.
“Clap!”
Chen Ye suddenly clapped his hands, making a noise.
Instantly.
The female nurse zombie was startled by the sound and immediately dropped her meal, charging toward Chen Ye.
She came at him with claws outstretched and a ferocious face!
Chen Ye clenched his fists tightly, eyes fixed on the female zombie, ready to react.
If the plan showed any signs of failing, he would counterattack immediately.
As the female zombie charged at him…
A miracle happened!!
She suddenly stopped attacking and just stood in front of him, making strange “haa haa” noises, as if she wanted to bite but didn’t dare!
Chen Ye slowly relaxed his clenched fists as he watched the female zombie’s terrifying face.
Then.
He started to laugh…
“Heh heh, heh heh… hahahahaha…”
It began as a chuckle, then grew louder and more frenzied!
Chen Ye was releasing his pent-up emotions!
Ever since he decided to challenge the Reincarnation Tower and set this plan in motion, it had been a gamble, a life-or-death gamble.
To say he wasn’t nervous would be a lie!
Finally.
He won the gamble, and a wave of relief washed over him, leading to unrestrained laughter.
“Roar!”
The laughter startled the female zombie, who let out a beast-like roar but still did not dare to attack Chen Ye.
Chen Ye then pulled out his gun, aimed at the female zombie’s forehead, and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The female zombie’s brain exploded like a shattered watermelon, and she fell silently to the ground.
In this world, zombies’ brains were their weak points.
“You have killed a zombie. Current mission progress: 1/10.”
Chen Ye received a system prompt, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Then, he left the archive room and swaggered out.
The first phase of the plan was a success!
Next.
Was the second phase of the plan: a zombie massacre!!
As soon as he stepped out of the archive room and into the corridor, a group of zombies in white lab coats rushed toward him.
They were drawn by the gunshot just now.
When the zombies reached him, they automatically moved aside, avoiding him, and brushed past him.
Chen Ye also ignored them and continued walking.
As for why Chen Ye didn’t kill these zombies on the spot?
The reason was that he didn’t want to waste his energy on these zombies!
He intended to massacre zombies!
A massive massacre of zombies!!
Relying on his own strength alone, how many could he kill before he got exhausted?
Even if all the zombies lined up for him to decapitate, how many could he kill with his strength?
Killing a thousand would probably exhaust him!
Therefore, Chen Ye’s second-phase plan was to find large-scale destructive weapons…
…
Leaving the CDC.
Chen Ye came to the roadside, found a crashed bus, and took the driver’s seat.
Driving a bus required an A1 license, which Chen Ye certainly didn’t have… but so what? Boston was practically a ghost town now, who would stop him?
He put the bus in reverse and backed it out.
Then.
He floored the gas pedal in a specific direction marked on the map.
Vroom!
The bus engine roared, pushing aside the small cars parked haphazardly on the road and crushing many zombies.
“You have killed a zombie. Current mission progress: 2/10.”
“You have killed a zombie. Current mission progress: 3/10.”
…
…
“You have killed a zombie. Current mission progress: 11/10.”
“You have killed a zombie. Current mission progress: 12/10.”
The system prompts kept coming as zombies’ heads were crushed under the bus wheels.
However, more zombies were attracted by the engine noise.
Chen Ye was not afraid at all; in fact, he was thrilled!
Ever since he knew the zombies wouldn’t attack him, he had become completely reckless…
When Chen Ye finally stopped the bus, more than a hundred zombies had been killed under its wheels.
Then.
Chen Ye got off the bus, ignoring the zombies surrounding him, and swaggered toward a building.
The zombies automatically moved aside as he approached…
This building was the target of Chen Ye’s second-phase plan!!
It was… the police station!!!
In a modern, peaceful city, where would you find the most firearms?
Of course, it’s the police station!
Chen Ye was heading to the Boston Police Headquarters, a spacious building.
At the CDC, he had found a map of Boston, so he knew the location of the police station.
At that moment, the police station was a mess.
The ground was littered with corpses.
There were bodies of officers, but even more of zombies.
In addition to the corpses, the ground was covered with shell casings.
After all, this was the Boston Police Headquarters, housing a large number of firearms. Killing so many zombies was only natural.
However, the outcome was still tragic.
In the world of “World War Z,” the zombies were incredibly strong and fearless. Even if the military intervened, they would face annihilation.
As Chen Ye entered the police station, his reckless demeanor quickly became cautious.
He suspected there might still be some survivors hiding somewhere.
Getting shot here would be an unjust death for him.
Carefully, he proceeded inside the police station. Using the internal map, he finally found the armory in a basement.
The journey was smooth, and he encountered no one.
Chen Ye sighed in relief and opened the door to the armory.
Then…
He was stunned!
The walls of the armory were covered with guns.
Pistols, rifles, shotguns, sniper rifles…
Everything was there!
Besides guns, there were grenades, C4 explosives, flamethrowers, and other large-scale weapons.
Chen Ye’s face lit up with a smile.
At the same time, a bold plan formed in his mind.
He decided to use the police station as a base to slaughter zombies!
The guns and ammunition in the armory were too heavy to move, which would drain his energy.
So, he began to act.
After confirming no one else was in the station, Chen Ye took action!
First, he took all the C4 explosives and hid them around the nearby streets.
Then, he placed two Gatling guns at the entrance of the police station.
Next, he took high-explosive grenades to the rooftop.
As for the flamethrowers, Chen Ye decided to abandon them.
Playing with fire against zombies was not a good idea; it might backfire.
Zombies would charge mindlessly forward, even if they were on fire. As long as their brains weren’t damaged, they felt no pain.
Using a flamethrower might not kill the zombies, but it could get Chen Ye burned to death by the fire the zombies carried.
As for the rifles and sniper rifles…
Chen Ye wasn’t interested.
It wasn’t that they lacked power.
But their kill range was insufficient.
Using a rifle to kill zombies, even with headshots every time, would be a waste of time for Chen Ye!
Meanwhile…
Other reincarnators were struggling to survive, facing life and death challenges.
The zombies in this world were too crazy.
If they found a healthy human, they would relentlessly attack until either they or the human was dead.
Many reincarnators thought they were in safe places.
But it wasn’t long before the zombie horde besieged them, making their situation precarious.
On the rooftop of a shopping mall building…
A dozen reincarnators looked at the endless sea of zombies below, their faces pale with fear.
Even the young man with a “D” grade rating was ashen-faced.
They had made too much noise, attracting too many zombies.
At first, they killed many zombies and were quite pleased, thinking they would get a good rating for this mission.
But as the number of zombies grew, they quickly became terrified.
Now, at least hundreds of thousands of zombies surrounded them. How could they kill them all?
Once the zombies broke through, their fate would be dismemberment, becoming zombie snacks!
“Damn! There are too many zombies, the obstacles at the entrance won’t hold much longer…” a female reincarnator said in horror.
Everyone on the rooftop turned pale.
“Quick! Find something to block it, think of a way to block it!”
The young man leading the group shouted.
He no longer cared about the mission rating; he just wanted to survive!
Unfortunately, the rooftop was empty. There was nothing to block the door.
Seeing the obstacles at the entrance loosening, the young man’s face darkened as he began to consider escape routes.
As for the other “allies” on the rooftop?
In his plan, they were just cannon fodder…
Anyone who could achieve a “D” rating in a safe zone must be ruthless. There was no way he would willingly share the mission rewards with others.
——————–
Chapter 27
Boom!
The barricade at the rooftop entrance collapsed with a loud crash.
In the stairwell, countless snarling zombies were frantically pushing towards the entrance.
In the crush, some zombies were even squeezed so hard their bodies burst open, flesh and blood splattering everywhere.
The sight made everyone’s scalp tingle with fear.
“Ah!!”
Among the dozen reincarnators, a few girls screamed in terror at the horrifying scene.
Without a word, the young man leading the group turned and ran.
He had chosen this rooftop as a base, having already considered an escape route.
Next to the rooftop was a residential building, separated by only a two- or three-meter-wide alley.
As long as he could jump across, he would have a way out.
But!
Not everyone could jump two or three meters.
The young man, with his D-level strength rating and high attributes, had no trouble.
With a swift run and a leap, he soared like a swallow over the alley, crashing through a window in the opposite building, shattering the glass.
Seeing the young man escape, the other reincarnators were stunned.
“Help me, save me!”
“Brother Ye Gucheng, please save me!”
“Ye Gucheng, there’s a ladder next to you, bring it over!”
“Don’t eat me, don’t eat me… help!”
The young man, nicknamed Ye Gucheng, stood coldly in the opposite room, watching his “allies” get overwhelmed by the zombie horde, showing no emotion.
Beside him was a long ladder.
If he wanted, Ye Gucheng could easily extend the ladder and save a few of his allies.
But he did nothing, watching impassively as his allies were torn apart by zombies.
In truth.
In Ye Gucheng’s plan, his so-called allies were always intended as cannon fodder.
Even if they survived, he had planned to lure zombies to kill them all before the mission ended (since allies couldn’t kill each other directly).
Ye Gucheng aimed for a top rating in this mission!
Sharing the system’s rewards with others?
That was never in Ye Gucheng’s plan.
All his allies dead, leaving him to enjoy the rewards alone, was his true intention.
Seeing Ye Gucheng’s cold demeanor, the other reincarnators finally realized they were nothing but expendable tools to him, never intended to share in the system’s rewards.
But it was too late for them…
Boston Police Headquarters.
After nearly an hour, Chen Ye had finished all his preparations. He then took a police broadcast system, turned the volume to maximum, and installed it on the roof of a bus outside.
Next, Chen Ye connected the broadcast to a battery, playing an explosive electronic dance track on loop.
“Boom! Boom boom boom… Ladies and gentlemen, let’s get moving…”
As soon as Chen Ye powered it on, the DJ’s booming voice blasted from the speakers.
Immediately.
Zombies from nearly half the city were alerted!!
“Roar! Roar!”
All the zombies went wild, drawn by the DJ’s sound, rushing madly toward the source.
In the streets.
Zombies from all directions converged on the police headquarters.
Dense and endless!
Anyone else would have been terrified by this scene, legs turning to jelly.
But Chen Ye laughed maniacally.
After all, zombies wouldn’t dare bite him, no matter how many came, they were just targets.
When the streets around the police headquarters were packed tight with zombies, Chen Ye took out the C4 detonator and pressed all the buttons.
“Boom!!”
“Boom!!”
“Boom! Boom! Boom…”
Deafening explosions echoed continuously.
Those unaware might have thought a modern weapon war had broken out.
The streets surrounding the police headquarters were instantly engulfed in flames!
Countless zombies were blasted into the air!
Many more were directly dismembered and pulverized…
“You have killed a zombie. Current mission progress: 117/10.”
“You have killed a zombie. Current mission progress: 118/10.”
“You have killed a zombie. Current mission progress: 119/10.”
…
…
“You have killed a zombie. Current mission progress: 1283/10.”
…
“You have killed a zombie. Current mission progress: 7982/10.”
…
The system could barely keep up with the notifications…
In just a few breaths, Chen Ye had killed nearly ten thousand zombies!!
His plan succeeded!
Incredibly successful!
In the distance, more zombies were desperately rushing over to their doom.
The explosions had resounded throughout the city.
Not only were countless zombies drawn, but some surviving humans and other reincarnators were also looking towards the police headquarters in shock and confusion.
——————————–
Chapter 28
### Inside the Residential Building
The young man wielding a black blade named Autumn Water sliced a lone zombie in half, preparing to move to another location.
Suddenly, he heard a series of massive explosions coming from the direction of the police station.
He quickly went to the window and saw flames lighting up the sky over the police station, his eyes filled with uncertainty.
His first thought was that the military of the Sam Empire had entered the city and was battling the zombies.
But on second thought, he realized it was impossible.
Before entering the Reincarnation Tower, he had done his homework and knew that no military would be able to enter the city within these ten hours.
In fact, considering the zombie virus outbreak, it was questionable whether the military of the Sam Empire even existed anymore!
This was a global catastrophe!
If it wasn’t the military, then who was causing such a massive commotion, slaughtering zombies? Were they suicidal?
Suddenly, a flash of insight appeared in the young man’s eyes.
He was almost certain that the explosions were caused by other reincarnators.
Facing such a large number of zombies, the locals of this world would be too busy running for their lives to fight back.
Only reincarnators, who had missions to kill zombies, would do something like this.
Thinking about this, the young man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and headed toward the source of the explosions.
With his D-level strength, if he focused solely on moving quickly, the zombies wouldn’t be able to catch him…
### Near the Police Station
In no time at all, the area around the police station was once again swarming with zombies.
Chen Ye had used up all the C4 explosives he had prepared, so it was time for his second weapon: the Gatling gun.
He went to the ground floor entrance and opened the door.
“Roar! Roar!”
Countless zombies, hearing the sound of the door opening, surged into the police station lobby like a tidal wave.
Chen Ye stood behind the Gatling gun, watching the incoming zombies with a cold gaze.
He had already connected the Gatling gun to a battery and attached the ammo box. All he had to do was pull the trigger.
Then he pulled the trigger.
“Buzz…”
Instantly, the six barrels of the Gatling gun began to spin rapidly.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Bullets poured out like a torrential downpour!
The Gatling gun’s strength was its high rate of fire and immense power!
It could easily fire over 1,000 rounds per minute per barrel.
In an instant, a “fire dragon” made of bullets roared through the police station lobby!
Wherever the “fire dragon” went, it left destruction in its wake.
Any zombie hit by the bullets, regardless of where it was struck, was torn to pieces…
“You have killed a zombie. Current mission progress: 9976/10.”
“You have killed a zombie. Current mission progress: 9977/10.”
“You have killed a zombie. Current mission progress: 9978/10.”
…
…
“You have killed a zombie. Current mission progress: 28213/10.”
…
In just five minutes, Chen Ye had exhausted a 30,000-round ammo box, killing nearly 20,000 zombies.
Due to the high rate of fire, many bullets missed their targets…
Chen Ye’s mission progress was about to break 30,000!
When the Gatling gun finally stopped, its barrels were glowing red-hot, radiating intense heat.
At the entrance of the police station lobby, piles of zombie corpses and shredded flesh formed a gruesome mountain.
The air was thick with the stench of blood and decay.
Everywhere you looked was like a scene from hell!
The bodies of zombies had completely blocked the entrance.
Chen Ye exhaled heavily and abandoned the Gatling gun.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to keep using it to slaughter zombies, but the police station’s supply of bullets had been completely used up…
Chen Ye grabbed a few rifles and headed to the rooftop.
However, when he reached the second floor, he suddenly had an idea. He went into a lounge, took a mattress, and threw it out the window onto the street below.
After doing this, Chen Ye finally went to the rooftop.
On the rooftop, there were many high-explosive grenades that Chen Ye had prepared earlier.
When the next wave of zombies arrived, Chen Ye began tossing grenades downstairs.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The high-explosive grenades were far less destructive than the C4 or the Gatling gun.
But it was all he had left for large-scale destruction.
Chen Ye was already very satisfied with how smoothly his plan had gone so far.
The mission required killing 10 zombies, and Chen Ye had killed 30,000, exceeding the requirement by 3,000 times!!
Barring any surprises, his mission rating would be extremely high!
As Chen Ye continued to throw grenades…
In the distance, several pairs of eyes were watching him closely…

Chapter 29
### Eight Hours Later
Eight hours had passed, with only two hours remaining until the mission’s end…
Bang!
A gunshot rang out from the rooftop of the police station.
A zombie on the street below had its head blown off.
“You have killed a zombie. Current mission progress: 117,692/10.”
Hearing the system notification, Chen Ye showed no expression. He took out a white pill and swallowed it before continuing to aim his rifle.
The white pill was erythropoietin, a type of banned drug that temporarily boosts stamina and endurance.
Chen Ye’s stamina was nearly depleted; this was the second pill he had taken.
At this moment, all that was left beside Chen Ye was his sniper rifle.
The over two hundred high-explosive grenades he had previously used were all gone.
Even the tens of thousands of rounds of automatic rifle ammunition had been exhausted.
The results were substantial.
Chen Ye had killed over a hundred thousand zombies, truly mowing them down.
By now, Chen Ye was completely numb.
He continued to pull the trigger purely out of an obsession with completing the mission.
Suddenly.
As Chen Ye was aiming at a zombie, he heard a thud behind him.
It sounded like something heavy had landed on the rooftop of the police station.
Chen Ye immediately abandoned his shot and turned around.
Behind him stood a young man who had just steadied himself.
The young man held a riot shield in his left hand and a black blade in his right, his eyes fixed on Chen Ye.
Seeing the blade, Chen Ye immediately recognized the young man.
It was the reincarnator with a D-level rating!
“I’ve been watching you for a long time!”
The young man raised his shield defensively against Chen Ye’s sniper rifle and spoke, “You’ve killed quite a lot of zombies in these past few hours!”
Chen Ye remained silent, coldly staring at the young man.
There was no panic on his face.
Chen Ye wasn’t surprised that a reincarnator had come looking for him.
The huge commotion he had caused at the police station could be heard across the entire city. It was normal for a reincarnator to come looking for him.
Seeing that Chen Ye didn’t respond, the young man smiled faintly and continued, “Don’t worry, I mean no harm.”
“I came here to propose an alliance… I know you wouldn’t want to share your rewards after killing so many zombies. But rest assured, you won’t be at a loss. You’ve heard of the global top 100 rankings, right? The 97th-ranked ‘One Leaf Autumn’ is my uncle. He cares for me deeply, and this blade was a gift from him after he defeated Zoro in the ‘One Piece’ world.”
“My uncle has many other powerful items. If you agree to form an alliance, I’ll give you a powerful special item after this mission.”
After hearing the young man’s words, a look of surprise appeared on Chen Ye’s face.
Someone capable of defeating Zoro was only ranked 97th in the top 100? It seemed that the top experts in the global rankings were indeed formidable!
As for the young man’s proposal, Chen Ye didn’t believe a word.
Finally, Chen Ye spoke up.
He asked calmly, “What happened to your previous allies?”
The young man’s expression darkened at this question.
Chen Ye was clearly questioning his character.
Nevertheless, the young man kept his composure and replied, “The zombies in this world are incredibly strong. We were surrounded, and I was the only one who managed to escape.”
“How can you guarantee that if we form an alliance, I won’t end up like your previous allies, dying an untimely death?” Chen Ye said with a smile. “Maybe after forming an alliance, I won’t die at the hands of zombies but rather at your hands.”
Being questioned directly by Chen Ye, the young man’s face twitched.
However, his true intention was to form an alliance with Chen Ye and then find a way to ensure Chen Ye died in an ‘accident,’ allowing him to claim all the zombie kills and receive a high mission rating.
This tactic was feasible in the Reincarnation Space!
“You’re overthinking it.”
The young man pretended to be sincere, “Allies can’t harm each other… I’ve also killed quite a few zombies. If we form an alliance, we can both get a high rating, which benefits both of us. Plus, you’ll gain my uncle’s friendship.”
Chen Ye shook his head at first, then suddenly nodded and said, “Alright, we can form an alliance. To show your sincerity, give me that blade you’re holding.”
Hearing this, the young man finally dropped his facade…

Chapter 30
Black Blade Shusui
Not only could Black Blade Shusui cut through iron like mud, but it also had the ability to absorb energy and strengthen itself. It was extremely durable.
Zoro once said, “Even if a dinosaur stepped on it, it wouldn’t bend by a millimeter.”
Such an extraordinary blade was a rare treasure, even in the world of “One Piece.”
When Chen Ye suddenly asked for this blade, there was no way the young man would hand it over.
“It seems you don’t understand your situation!” the young man said coldly. “Do you really think I’m negotiating with you? In your current state, killing you is as easy as squashing a bug. Don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Chen Ye shook his head. “Why waste everyone’s time?”
“What do you mean?” the young man asked warily, holding his riot shield tightly in front of him.
Although his overall strength was rated “D,” making him strong and robust, a sniper bullet was still a significant threat.
But Chen Ye didn’t use his sniper rifle. Instead, he pulled out something resembling a remote control from his pocket and pressed the red button without hesitation.
Boom!
The barricade at the rooftop entrance suddenly exploded, revealing a horde of zombies behind it.
This remote-controlled bomb was something Chen Ye had found in the police station’s armory and installed at the rooftop entrance.
Chen Ye knew how much noise he was making and had prepared for other reincarnators.
“Roar! Roar!”
The zombies in the stairwell, seeing two live humans, roared and charged forward.
The young man’s face changed dramatically, looking at Chen Ye in disbelief. “Are you crazy?”
He thought Chen Ye was trying to take him down with him.
“Enjoy the zombie party I prepared for you!” Chen Ye laughed and moved to the edge of the rooftop.
Then, he stepped off, falling down.
The young man was shocked and rushed to the edge, only to see that Chen Ye hadn’t died from the fall.
A mattress (which Chen Ye had thrown down earlier) on the ground below had cushioned his fall.
However, falling from the fourth floor, even with the mattress, was still dangerous due to the impact.
Luckily, Chen Ye’s high basic attributes and strong physique prevented fatal injury, though he felt the impact deeply.
The street was full of zombies.
Hearing the commotion, they started surrounding him.
Just when the young man thought Chen Ye would be torn apart by the zombie horde, something strange happened…
The zombies, as they approached Chen Ye, suddenly stopped and seemed to avoid him, moving away as if repelled.
Seeing this, the young man’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Under the young man’s bewildered gaze, Chen Ye walked through the zombie crowd as if strolling through a park. All the zombies automatically made way for him…
“This, this…”
The young man felt like he had discovered a huge secret.
If he could capture Chen Ye, he could uncover this secret!!
However…
“Roar!”
The roar from behind brought the young man back to reality.
For now, he needed to save his own life!!
The buildings around the police station were too far apart; he couldn’t escape from the rooftop, nor did he dare to jump down like Chen Ye.
The streets below were crawling with even more zombies!
The young man’s only option was to kill all the zombies on the rooftop and block the entrance again.
He had jumped from a nearby building to reach the police station earlier.
But jumping back now was impossible.
The balcony of that building was high, making it easy to jump down but extremely difficult to jump up.
Realizing his predicament, the young man’s face darkened.
He never expected that this cunning Chen Ye had a way to repel zombies and had set a trap here, waiting for others to fall into it…
Gripping the Black Blade Shusui tightly, the young man charged at the approaching zombies with gritted teeth.
He had to survive!!
### Meanwhile, on the Streets
Chen Ye didn’t go far.
He didn’t know if there were other reincarnators watching him.
So, the area around the police station was safer for him because it was filled with zombies.
While others would avoid a zombie horde, Chen Ye did the opposite, diving right into it, using the zombie horde as his shield.
Knowing the plot was crucial.
Chen Ye guessed correctly.
At that moment.
Several reincarnators were watching him through binoculars from distant buildings.
Seeing Chen Ye walking leisurely through the zombie crowd like a garden stroll, everyone who witnessed it was utterly shocked.
