With the ability to transform, I am a judge.

"I hope you can kill me while I'm still human... cough cough! I want to retain the last vestiges of human dignity, please!"

When the moment came, Komuro Takashi hesitated, even though the other person was someone who had stolen his lover's affections—she was still his friend. After a moment of silence, just as Komuro Takashi was about to step forward, he was stopped by the somewhat crazed Miyamoto Rei.

“Yong will never become that kind of monster, he is the most special! It's a disease, right? It can be cured, the kind of disease that can be completely cured.”

"Pfft."

Rei Miyamoto had been staring intently at Takashi Komuro, wanting the answer she sought, but this only fueled Komuro's displeasure and anger. However, before he could say anything, Hisashi Igou collapsed to the ground, completely motionless.

In that instant, the light in Miyamoto Rei's eyes faded rapidly, and she seemed to turn into a puppet, slowly walking towards Igou Hisashi who was lying on the ground.

The next moment, Igo Hisashi, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly stood up shakily, his head bowed. Miyamoto Rei hadn't taken more than a few steps when she abruptly stopped, her expression a mixture of surprise and fear.

"Yong, are you alright? I knew it..."

Facing her former lover, the now-dead Igou Hisashi suddenly raised his head, his grayish-white mouth lunging at Miyamoto Rei. Startled by this, Miyamoto Rei stared blankly at Igou Hisashi, who had attacked her, unable to react in time.

Komuro Takashi had already picked up a baseball bat and charged towards the zombie-like Igou Hisashi, but someone was even faster than him...

He grabbed his backpack and flung it out instantly. At the same time, Yang Li kicked off the edge and charged forward at a speed beyond the limits of ordinary people, revealing the sharpness of the meat cleaver in his hand.

When a heavy backpack full of supplies hit him on the head, Jing Haoyong, who had lost the ability to think and acted only on instinct, inevitably staggered to the side.

"Bah..."

With a single stroke, Yang Li slashed open Jing Haoyong's neck, deliberately avoiding the hard bones, and let him bleed. Landing instantly, he bent down, swept the unsteady Jing Haoyong aside with a kick, and finally sent him tumbling off the rooftop with a side kick.

This meat cleaver looks like it was recently sharpened; it's quite sharp, and the blade is unlikely to bend unless you cut into the reinforced bones of a dead animal.

"Let's get out of here quickly. If we stay here, we'll easily get blocked by the zombies. You'll probably be sleeping with those zombies in your arms."

Speaking in a seemingly joking tone, they uttered chilling words, causing the male and female protagonists, who had been embracing and comforting each other, to involuntarily shudder. Those undead were indeed terrifying; the fact that a single bite could assimilate a person was even more chilling.

As for sleeping with these monsters... sorry, whoever wants to can go, Yang Li certainly doesn't have that idea.

"Um, could you wait a moment? I want to make a phone call to my dad."

Looking at the spirited Yang Li, Miyamoto Rei cautiously asked a question, and visibly relaxed after receiving consent. The heroine's reaction left Yang Li somewhat amused and exasperated; was she really that intimidating?

In fact, most ordinary people would feel awe towards Yang Li, who could kill without batting an eye. Killing someone is not like butchering a chicken; after his first murder, Yang Li vomited for an entire day.

For the next week, I felt nauseous at the sight of anything red, and it took me quite a while to adjust. This shows how amazing humans truly are, able to adapt to various environments and try to survive.

Chapter 8, Section 8: Yang Li's Astounding Combat Power

Chapter 8: Yang Li's Astonishing Combat Power

(There was an error in the chapter; I've just corrected it.)

Rei Miyamoto successfully got through to her father, who instructed Takashi Komuro to take good care of her. Her father seemed to be a policeman, and they were also in big trouble. He told her to contact him again if possible and to absolutely not go home! She then headed towards the other side of the river.

In a post-apocalyptic world, responsible police officers are easily killed, after all, they always stand on the side of the people, sacrificing themselves and ultimately becoming corpses. When the glimmer of humanity is gradually buried, such people are truly worthy of respect.

After that, Miyamoto Rei lost her lover and relied on Komuro Takashi. Because of one of their deaths, the two reconciled.

The so-called protagonist is always the kind of guy who, relying on the favor of the world's consciousness, runs around recklessly, picking up girls everywhere. Based on his own experience, Yang Li could tell that Komuro Takashi was the kind of guy with an unnecessary saintly heart and a bit of darkness hidden in his heart.

"Get ready to follow."

Whether she saves them or not doesn't matter; as long as Yang Li doesn't target them, these two world-determined protagonists won't die. Yang Li, who was planning to infiltrate the protagonist's team, decided to try and ride on the world's favor... although she didn't know how far Komuro Takashi, the chosen one of this world, was capable of.

Reaching the entrance to the rooftop, Yang Li kicked away all the chairs that Komuro Takashi had used to block the way, then walked into the stairwell. A zombie spotted her, twisting its stiff body as it lunged at her, only to have its mouth pierced by a blade coming straight at it.

"It's a bit disgusting."

Yang Li looked at the meat cleaver in his hand with disgust, then squatted down and wiped the blade on the body of the already killed corpse with the guy's clothes.

He stood up, walked to the area where the fire hose was installed, and smashed the outside glass with the handle of a knife. After removing it, Yang Li gestured to Komuro Takashi to turn the water valve.

"Sizzle...bang bang bang..."

The group of corpses that had been blocked by the fire door at the stairwell entrance were completely dispersed by the powerful kinetic energy of the high-pressure water cannons, and were sent flying. This cleared out a large number of corpses, but unfortunately there was no reward, and Yang Li's idea failed.

She had originally thought she could get some rewards by killing a lot of undead, but it seems she has failed.

Seeing that most of the zombies had been obliterated by the force of the water, leaving only a few scattered remains, Komuro Takashi grabbed a baseball bat and charged forward. Miyamoto Rei, carrying the backpack that Yang Li had brought earlier, followed behind the two.

The meat cleaver was indeed very sharp. Even though it struggled a bit against hard objects like bones, it could still easily slice through the carcass in an instant. In order to kill with one blow and not waste any time, Yang Li used the meat cleaver in one hand and the fire axe in the other, cutting down the carcass as easily as chopping vegetables.

As for where the fire axe came from? Hmm, didn't you see the high-pressure water gun? The fire axe wasn't far from this thing; it's just enough to break one pane of glass, not much more than two.

The two main characters, who were just passing by, rushed to a corridor. There were three zombies blocking the entrance, which was quite dangerous in the confined space.

Yang Li strode forward and, before the zombies could charge, used his long-handled fire axe to chop one of them in half, then kicked the second one away.

There were three in total. The third one had already rushed in front of Yang Li, its foul-smelling mouth wide open. Yang Li felt nauseous and frowned. She used the blade of her meat cleaver to wedge the corpse's mouth shut, then shoved it out the window with her body.

Another one taken care of. Seeing the second zombie, which had been kicked down, staggering to its feet, Yang Li stepped forward and cleaved its head off with an axe. In terms of sheer power, a fire axe was far superior to a meat cleaver; the difference in attack range between the two was enormous.

Behind them, Komuro Takashi and Miyamoto Rei watched Yang Li's astonishing strength as she fought her way through three opponents single-handedly, and both couldn't help but swallow hard. Komuro Takashi truly wondered who would dare marry such a heroic and extraordinary Valkyrie.

Completely unaware that the two people behind her were stunned by her actions, Yang Li, having dealt with all the enemies in front of her, adjusted her breathing and savored the feeling of direct combat that she hadn't experienced in a long time. She used to be a bounty hunter, but most of the time she was just shooting people; close-quarters combat had too many uncertainties, and being a bounty hunter was a life-or-death job.

Moreover, these undead are not weak at all; their speed and strength are outstanding! It is very likely that people who become undead are stronger than they were in life. Unfortunately, Yang Li's three most basic attributes, under the blessing of the 'Dream Transformation', not only have agility that has exceeded the limits of human beings, but also strength and physique that are at the level of human limits.

From the rooftop to the stairwell entrance of this floor, it was only a short distance, but Yang Li had already killed no fewer than 10 corpses. Bloodstains lingered on both the blade of the meat cleaver and the edge of the fire axe.

There was no bloodstain on the clothes, but the bloodstains on the bottom of the tactical boots left a series of shoe prints on the rooftop.

Behind them, Komuro Takashi and Miyamoto Rei were beyond words. The way they forcefully and ruthlessly slayed the dead bodies was deeply etched in their minds... Perhaps, this is what is meant by a Valkyrie.

Looking back at the stairs leading to the rooftop, there were one or two dismembered corpses lying on the ground every few steps. The shock that this half-minute had brought to the two of them was still too great.

Although Komuro Takashi believed he could do it with a baseball bat, he was definitely not as fast and fluid as Yang Li... That's what makes the protagonist so special; as long as the world's consciousness gives him a cheat code, his strength can soar. After all, these zombies have been enhanced by 'Abyss Paradise'.

Upon entering a new floor, the lack of a top-down terrain advantage made the fight against the undead somewhat more troublesome, but for Yang Li, it was only somewhat troublesome. The 'Sake Virtue Mai' ninjutsu had endless uses, allowing Yang Li to gain increasingly stronger control over her body, and the difficulty of the battle was gradually decreasing.

This floor appears to be where Komuro Takashi's class is located, but because the zombies appeared so suddenly, most of the students were bitten and turned into zombies to continue attacking the students who fled to the playground. The number of zombies continues to grow, while the students are unable to organize an effective resistance. With this ebb and flow, the outcome is already predetermined.

I glanced out the window at the playground, and the densely packed gray-white figures made my scalp tingle. The school uniforms that were originally full of youthful vitality were now stained with all kinds of dust and bloodstains.

Many of the zombies were sitting on the ground, clutching pieces of their bodies that had been torn off from somewhere, and began to devour them.

Yang Li felt that if he were surrounded by these undead right now, he probably wouldn't last long; the number of undead was terrifying!

"what!"

A sharp, distorted female voice suddenly reached Yang Li's ears. Looking towards the source of the sound, it should be the classroom not far away. There were still quite a few zombies moving around at the doorway. The scream from earlier had attracted the scattered zombies wandering around the side.

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Yang Li shouldered the fire axe and rushed over. The distance wasn't too far; she could see several corpses being struck by something, their heads exploding.

The firing mechanism, similar to a gun, put Yang Li on alert. After all, firearms invented by humans were the greatest threat she feared, even more so than the undead, given her current physical abilities. However, it seemed that this gun-like weapon was clearly not very powerful.

By the time Yang Li reached the door, most of the zombies had already been killed. Two remained. Before they could spot her, she swung her axe and killed the first one.

The second one rammed into Yang Li at a considerable speed, her chest was held against the fire axe, and then she slit her throat with a meat cleaver.

Yang Li paused slightly, looking at the corpses lying on the ground, all with their skulls pierced by bullets. The small holes couldn't have been from bullets; after all, even a handgun at this close range would likely have splattered the brains out of these corpses.

Looking up into the room, sure enough, there was an air nail gun, held by a bespectacled, unassuming, overweight man. He exuded an indescribable aura when wielding the gun, suggesting he was no ordinary person.

The scream came from a pink-haired girl with twin tails. She seemed to be a tsundere, but her heart was too big, which was a big mistake... She was holding an electric drill, and with the blood splattered on her face and the corpse with its head drilled through on the ground, she looked strangely pitiful.

"What are you looking at! I'm a genius! This is nothing. I'm second to none in a fight!"

Yang Li went in and was immediately scolded. Komuro Takashi and Miyamoto Rei, who were a step behind, followed closely behind, all looking completely bewildered.

(Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD for short, refers to the psychological distress that occurs after a person experiences or copes with significant stress.)

Of course she'd be scared if she'd never experienced something like this before. Looking at the flustered little girl, Yang Li suddenly remembered being mocked by her master after her first murder. A knowing smile spread across her face. She stepped forward and stroked the girl's hair like petting a cat.

Section 9, Chapter 9: Yang Li's Unexplained Sadness

Chapter Nine: Yang Li's Unexplained Sadness

(I had some things to do this afternoon, so the first chapter of today will be updated in the morning.)

Gently stroking the pink-haired girl's hair, Yang Li paid no attention to the bloodstains on her body and even tidied her messy hair.

Overwhelmed by Yang Li's sudden act of comfort, the girl named Takagi Saya burst into tears, throwing herself into Yang Li's arms and sobbing. Feeling his chest soaked with tears, Yang Li couldn't help but smile wryly.

Recalling the ways she knew to comfort someone, Yang Li tucked the meat cleaver into her belt and then patted Takashiro Saya's back with her free hand. The girl's body was soft; if it weren't for the lingering stench, it would have been a truly beautiful scene.

While Yang Li was comforting Takagi Saya, the fat man holding the nail gun looked at her with a bitter expression, feeling deeply distressed. He was the one who had deserved the credit for protecting his goddess, but now she was in someone else's arms; the sight broke his heart…

Although she was a beautiful woman, that didn't stop him from being jealous!

Looking at Takashiro Saya and Yang Li, who were still embracing each other, and then at Komuro Takashi and Miyamoto Rei, who had just entered through the door, Hirano Toda suddenly felt that the whole world had become somewhat gloomy. Could it be that even Cupid had chosen to abandon him?

After crying, Takagi Saya's emotions had clearly recovered considerably; at least she was able to remain calm. Leaving Yang Li's embrace, she looked at Yang Li's smiling face and felt her own face burning, probably turning completely red.

"Thank you, thank you..."

Saya Takagi, feeling a little shy, expressed her gratitude and then, like an ostrich, lowered her head and went to wash herself. While washing her face, she kept saying things like, "I'm so dirty, I'll have to get my mom to give me a good wash when I get home."

Sensing that the journey wouldn't be peaceful, Yang Li silently thought to himself, 'By the time you get home, you'll probably be used to blood and gore.' People always have to grow up, and the cycle of killing and being killed has only just begun.

After washing up, Saya Takagi put on a pair of glasses, instantly transforming her style and looking quite attractive. This glasses look seemed to perfectly suit Hirano Toda's taste, and Yang Li noticed the otaku seemed rather excited.

After scanning the scene, Yang Li found nothing amiss and no undiscovered corpses; it was safe for the time being. Just then, a tall girl with alluring purple hair arrived with a woman dressed as a school doctor, presumably summoned by Takagi Saya's shout.

It's worth mentioning that the women here are all extremely broad-minded. Even 'Shude Mai's' rather large breasts aren't particularly outstanding here. What sets Yang Li apart from everyone else is 'Shude Mai's' incredibly long legs!

Because they ran over, both girls were shaking. The female school doctor, with an extremely terrifying chest, even bumped into Hirano Toda, who had a very low profile... Coach, she dribbled the ball and bumped into someone.

At that moment, looking at those two round lumps, Yang Li suddenly felt a little sad, but unfortunately she didn't know why.

The type of female school doctor with such amazing charm only exists in anime; in reality, they're mostly just middle-aged women. As for that level of bust size (J-cup), there probably aren't many like that in real life.

"Staying here isn't going to work. We should get out of here as soon as possible. Let's find some electronic devices and find out what's going on outside."

Looking at the large group of people crammed into the classroom, Yang Li asked her question. Although she knew some things because she had read a lot of fanfiction, she was not from this school and could only ask indirectly.

"There's a television in the staff office next door."

The purple-haired beauty answered succinctly, while secretly observing Yang Li with a wary look in her eyes. After all, judging from his appearance, equipment, and demeanor, Yang Li couldn't possibly be a student at Fujimi Academy, so it was normal for someone meeting him for the first time to be wary of him.
