Chapter 109: Chapter 109: What Level Enhancer Are You, Boss?

Translator: 549690339

“Sir… My name is Ye Wu, and this is my younger brother, Ye Du. We are grateful for your help.” Once the projection of the communicator disappeared,

Ye Wu cautiously spoke to Jiang Li, “I…”

Ye Wu intended to express her gratitude towards Jiang Li, but considering that sne was just a mere level-one ennancer, sne couldn’t quite nna a way to pay him back, without even having an acceptable body to offer.

Even though she had a pretty face, her body battered from ten years of hardship in this harsh world, was marred with numerous scars. Stripped of her enhancement suit and underwear, all she could expose was a body covered in shocking scars and distinctively defined abs.

She had heard that the influential figures in the five districts preferred soft, delicate girls, and didn’t see any value in a body like hers.

“My name is Jiang Li, just five hundred years older than you. You can call me Brother Jiang.” Jiang Li said with a smile, entirely devoid of the arrogant airs seen in those influential figures of the five districts.

“Where are the most people in your world, and what’s the deal with the zombies?” Jiang Li wanted to know why this world had degraded so much and if destructive heavenly demons were responsible for it.

Jiang Li didn’t dare to project his divine sense to its fullest. The people in this world were not accustomed to divine sense; they wouldn’t feel his scan, but the Fan Tian Tower would. This sentient immortal artifact would surely detect his divine sense, potentially complicating matters if it tore open space and retreated.

Furthermore, Jiang Li wasn’t all too familiar with the Fan Tian Tower, whether it could evade his divine sense remained uncertain.

He presumed it could. After all, the Yin Yang Heaven Seal had suggested that the Fan Tian Tower coated itself with several layers of space like a Matryoshka doll. It was not certain whether his divine sense could cross through these spatial layers to locate it.

Jiang Li knew that this matter couldn’t be rushed. The Past and Present Sword and the Fan Tian Tower, both of which were in control of the Dao of Time and Space, were not his specializations. Finding them would take considerable time.

As Buddha Wu Zhi once said, the Fan Tian Tower might like to expound the

Dao in crowded places. Therefore, he planned to visit the most populated area.

Regardless of Jiang Li’s strange wording of “this world,” as if he was from another world, the siblings knew that they had no position to propose questions to him. They could only answer truthfully.

“We have five districts where approximately eighty percent of the entire world’s population gathers.” Ye Wu pointed at a direction, “The closest from here is District Three. We are from there.”

Jiang Li nodded, leading the way. With each step he took, the rubble on the ground scattered in advance, allowing him to step onto flat ground, which left the two siblings wide-eyed in astonishment.

“As for how the zombies came to be, we don’t remember the precise timeline, but it was probably about ten years ago.”

“A zombie virus emerged suddenly, infecting both humans and animals alike. The ocean was the most heavily infected. The spread of the virus in the sea was astonishingly fast. Within a few days, the entire ocean had become a paradise for zombies.”

“At first, we weren’t aware that the marine life had turned into zombies. People continued to catch seafood and distribute it all over the world. Those who ate the seafood turned into zombies.”

“Despite the responses from countries dispatching their armies, the zombies evolved too rapidly. High-ranking zombies emerged and infected the armies in turn. ”

“Moreover, once the marine life turned into zombies, they mutated, sprouting wings, and started to fly out from the sea.”

Ye Wu shivered recalling the day the shadows cloaked everything: “Our city was next to the sea. Thus, upon landing, the sea creatures directly attacked our city. Blue whale swarms flapped their meaty wings, emitting horrifying shrieks comparable to hellish demons, their mouths opening to an oblique angle. Countless fish flew out from their mouths, descending from the sky in a rain of living destruction on us. Their frantic bites turned any bitten people into zombies.”

“Humanity couldn’t stand their ground against the zombies.

“The areas for human activities reduced and supplies fell short; with the consistent emergence of zombies and an uncertain future, every individual turned selfish, striving only for their own survival, indifferent to others.”

“Deception, betrayal, robbery… Such incidents were happening all the time. People occupied supermarkets, hospitals, police stations, and so on, forming small groups for resource collection and self-armament.”

“Eventually, as we learned more about zombies, we discovered that the weakness of zombies was in their heads, precisely, their brain cores.”

Ye Wu took out the Level 3 Zombie Brain Core that Jiang Li had shared: “The brain of a zombie is replaced by something like this. Once absorbed, our bodies undergo significant changes. Strength, speed, reflexes, and so forth increase geometrically. We call those like us, Enhancers.”

“We classify zombies into five levels and similarly, Enhancers are also classified into five levels.”

“What level of Enhancers are you two, and what level of zombie does this brain core belong to?” Jiang Li asked.

Feeling a little proud, Ye Du lifted his chest slightly: “We are both Level One

Enhancers. ”

In the human population, only a minority could become Enhancers. It depended on one’s talent. And among the Level One Enhancers, they were quite strong.

However, Ye Du abruptly recalled that these weren’t matters worth boasting about in front of such a big shot, and shrugged his shoulders: “This brain core belongs to a Level Three zombie. I heard there’s only one Level Three zombie in this city, which is probably the one you killed.”

Jiang Li attempted to make comparisons. It seemed that Level One was equivalent to Qi Cultivation Stage, Level Three corresponded to the Golden Core Stage, and the zombie he crushed effortlessly was somewhere around the Foundation Establishment Stage. That might correspond to Level Two of this world.

However, the people and zombies of this world only shared physical functionalities akin to the cultivation system; they couldn’t apply Daoist divine powers.

A zombie trying to ambush them nearby was quickly seized by Jiang Li. Before the zombie could even react, its brain core was extracted, resulting in immediate death.

The spiritual power density of a Level Two Zombie Brain Core couldn’t match a Level Three’s. Jiang Li didn’t find it particularly useful, so he casually tossed it to the siblings.

“Continue. ”

Ye Wu resumed her account: “Later on, the governments and financial groups of various countries established five districts, labeled numerically as District One, District Two, District Three, District Four, and District Five. Survivors could choose to live there.”

“Have you ever seen a Level Five zombie or a Level Five Enhancer?” Jiang Li suddenly asked. He wanted to know whether Level Five corresponded to the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Ye Du gave a bitter smile: “Don’t joke around, sir. If I had encountered a Level Five zombie, would I still be alive? I only got a brief look at a Level Four zombie from a distance before I ran for my life. As for Level Five Enhancers, there is one in District Three. But, that kind of powerful figure is elusive; insignificant people like us wouldn’t have the chance to meet one. At most, we have seen them on big screens.”

“What level of Enhancer are you, sir?” Ye Du couldn’t hold back his curiosity any longer. His heart pounded in his chest. Was it Level Four… or Level Five?

Jiang Li laughed: “I’m at the Mahayana Stage. I might be a bit stronger compared to your so-called Level Five zombies and Level Five Enhancers..”
