Zombie Apocalypse: Don't be afraid, I'm not a good person.

The National Institute of Geology and Life Sciences is located in a shielded experimental area deep in the mountains.

There are no signs or road markers here!

The outer perimeter is guarded by armed outposts and electronic jamming barriers that are patrolled year-round. The interior of the mountain has been hollowed out to become a giant scientific research fortress with ten underground floors. The outer walls are made of ultra-hard alloy and radiation-proof concrete. The ventilation system has undergone triple disinfection and air-locking, so no unauthorized signal can be transmitted, not even a single bit.

This is China's highest-level top-secret biological and extraterrestrial research institution, where even the air carries the unique coolness of a sterile laboratory.

Inside the P4-level biosafety laboratory on the third basement floor of the research institute, the temperature and humidity are constant, and the silver-gray precision instruments operate day and night. Complex gene sequences dance on the fluorescent screens. It all started with an unusual rainfall event that swept the globe—an ice meteor shower.

The research team from the institute immediately sealed and brought back the rainwater samples, which were then separated, purified, and sequenced in a cleanroom.

Initially identified as interstellar microorganisms carried by meteorites, they exhibit a bizarre spiral structure under an electron microscope, unlike any known terrestrial virus.

It is extremely small and can penetrate the cell membrane, silently embedding itself into the host's DNA chain. Researchers have named it the "Meteorite Evolution Factor" and codenamed "X".

It doesn't kill, but it wildly rewrites the rules of life.

In the laboratory, mice, monkeys, snakes, lizards, rabbits, dogs, and other animals showed a significant increase in bone density and a reaction speed that exceeded the species' limits after exposure, without any obvious aftereffects or dementia.

It is not a plague, but a brutal yet precise pair of evolutionary scissors that forcibly tears apart the evolutionary barriers of species.

The data on the monitoring screen was refreshed rapidly, and the gene map was being reconstructed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The researchers stared at the screen, their fingertips icy cold. Some were recording with trembling hands, while others silently locked the safety hatch.

This national-level research institute has for the first time truly encountered life laws that do not belong to Earth. The ice meteor shower did not bring water, but a viral spark that could ignite a frenzy of evolution in all living things. But what is despairing is that this spark does not belong to humankind!

For humans, it is a virus!

On August 3rd, the first case of "Rage Syndrome" in the country was secretly transported here.

Tests revealed that the patient had meteorite evolution factors in his body, which altered his DNA. The result was not good; the patient lost his rationality but had an extremely strong desire to attack.

Like the zombies in movies, like Train to Busan.

When the first patient injured by an attack from a "rage syndrome" patient was also brought here.

The experiment concluded that this virus has an extremely high mortality rate in humans, is highly infectious, mutates rapidly, and continues to control the host after the host dies, maintaining its status quo by feeding on flesh and blood.

The laboratory encrypted the analysis of the rainwater and reported it.

When the nation saw this, the sky seemed to fall.

It was too late to take action at this point. It had been raining for two days, and the number of people across the country who were directly exposed to the rain was incalculable, especially the military! They would still train even in the rain!

Finally, after receiving reports from the military that a large number of soldiers were showing symptoms, everyone's anxiety finally died down. The central government could not provide support to the whole country and could only temporarily relinquish power, allowing local areas to develop freely and fend for themselves.

That's why local disease control centers sent out alert messages to the public.

.........

4 PM on August 3, 2027.

The taxi stopped at the entrance of Lijing Garden. As soon as Shenhe got out of the car, the driver, unlike his usual enthusiastic self, sped off without saying a word.

Upon receiving the information, the public panicked, and chaos erupted at the 24-hour convenience store near the entrance. Many people rushed in and out, trying to grab some supplies. Even those who were just wandering around, unaware of what was happening, were drawn into the frenzy and rushed into the store in a daze.

At this time, having more supplies meant being able to survive a little longer. Shenhe rushed in with the crowd. Inside the store, there were people everywhere, panicked and disoriented.

They grab whatever they see, regardless of whether they like it or not, just wanting to fill their shopping carts.

The tense atmosphere made everyone's adrenaline surge. Shenhe wanted to find a shopping cart, but found that there wasn't one!

His eyes suddenly turned cold. He looked around and quickly spotted an old woman closest to him. Behind her was a shopping cart that was half full, and the old woman was busy grabbing cereal from the shelf in front of her.

"You're out of luck! My old baby!"

Because he was annoyed by an old lady this morning, Shenhe now gets annoyed whenever he sees an old lady. In the apocalypse, there's no need to respect the elderly!

He strode over, grabbed the shopping cart handle, and headed straight for the canned goods section. He had already familiarized himself with the area two days ago, so now he knew his way around easily.

Is it shameful to steal an old lady's car?

Hahaha! He robbed the old lady!

When his hand touched the old lady's car, he almost burst out laughing. Suddenly, he felt that this was how life should be lived!

This is the real him! What kind of bullshit morality and law is this!

We're all experiencing life for the first time, why should we put up with it?

Starting today! What he wants is his! What he doesn't want is also his!

This apocalypse! It doesn't seem so bad!

Li Shufen snatched two bags of cereal that she usually couldn't bear to buy, and her old face beamed with joy! With things so chaotic right now, she could just run out without even paying!

He turned around, his smile freezing on his face, followed by anger. "My car! Who's the culprit...?"

She had barely finished shouting when she saw a tall figure pushing her cart forward, the cart still containing the honey she had just stolen! "You come back here!"

"You shameless little beast!"

"They're even grabbing old ladies' shopping carts!"

"You have no conscience! You wretched wretch!"

While cursing, Shenhe angrily chased after Li Shufen, carrying two bags of cereal. The supermarket was crowded and blocked his way, and Shenhe wasn't walking very fast. Soon, Li Shufen grabbed his arm.

"Give me back my car! You have no shame... Ouch!"

Before Li Shufen could finish speaking, Shenhe swung her arm and sent her falling backward, landing hard on her bottom.

Shenhe took a bottle of soy sauce from her car and smashed it on the ground in front of Li Shufen. The black liquid splashed all over her. He glared at her fiercely, then took the two bags of oatmeal from her hand before turning and leaving.

"Thanks for finding me the cereal."

By the time Li Shufen came to her senses, Shenhe had already turned the corner and disappeared into the shelf.

"Good heavens! This is outrageous!"

Li Shufen was so angry that she cried, slapping her thigh repeatedly. She had never suffered such injustice in her life!

Shenhe didn't care about her; she was robbing the supermarket, and he was robbing her—neither of them were good people! He charged all the way to the canned food section!

"Bang! Bang! Crash! Squeak squeak squeak—crash!"

"what!"

Shenhe turned to look outside and vaguely heard that it was chaotic outside the supermarket, but he couldn't see anything. People were running around grabbing things! Moreover, it was even more chaotic inside the supermarket now, and he couldn't hear anything at all!

Keep ordering!

He grabbed whatever canned goods were on the shelf, because he liked things with a long shelf life. After grabbing more than ten cans, the shelves were already empty. He could only walk around, grabbing whatever was available, filling his car to the brim, and then pushing the car home!

Meanwhile, the scramble for supplies in the surrounding area had reached a fever pitch!

It's not as peaceful as it was at the beginning!

I'm so angry!
