My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

Yes, humanity screwed up again.

After living peacefully for hundreds of years, some of the elite among humans began to see the zombies as a higher form of life.

Longevity, strength.

They, who held wealth and power, attempted to evolve themselves into this higher form of life by researching the zombie virus.

Little did they know, the zombies led by the Lady Tyrant were actually transformed by Shen Sui.

All those transformation tools came from the game system, a power not possessed by this world.

Their experiments could only produce the earliest type of zombies.

Then, unsurprisingly, an accident occurred.

The classic lab leakage plot unfolded.

The zombie crisis, which had practically vanished, swept through human civilization once again.

In just one night, the human upper echelon was annihilated, and the glorious and peaceful civilization was gone.

Once again, humans paid a painful price for the endless greed of a few individuals.

Shen Sui flew over this wasteland on Alice’s Corpse Puppet Dragon.

At the horizon, strange and bizarre buildings towered into the clouds, like pillars connecting the earth and sky.

This is the empire of zombies.

The kingdom established by the zombies Shen Sui created.

They hold to the oath engraved in their souls by their "father," never taking the initiative to harm humans in their lifetime.

Shen Sui finds some solace in this.

He had thought he was the culprit destroying this world.

It now seems that although the zombies he raised occupy large expanses of this world, they haven’t really done anything bad.

Their only glaring misdeed is that although they occupy the best land, they’ve used it all to grow potatoes.

In some ways, these zombies have fulfilled Shen Sui’s original intention: to end the zombie apocalypse.

But no one expected humans to self-destruct later.

One cannot help but note that Alice’s creation, the Corpse Puppet Dragon, fits quite well with the style of this world.

At first glance, one might think another odd zombie species has emerged.

The Puppet Dragon’s speed is fast, flying past many cities in a short time.

From the current situation, the world’s situation has worsened.

Originally, humans had started to repel the zombie line, but the descent of Haral’s torso fiercely strengthened the zombies.

Haral’s power infected these zombies, causing them to mutate into new odd species.

Humans’ equipment is somewhat inadequate against these enhanced zombies.

Only a few elite humans can skillfully slay the mutated zombies.

After flying over several cities, Shen Sui has not seen any regular humans.

The zombies drag the bodies of human warriors from their mechas.

It seems this place is not far from the human front line.

"Hey hey, Claude, look!"

Alice pointed at the two figures on the Puppet Dragon’s back.

Shen Sui followed the sound and saw two zombies standing in a strange posture there, responding to Alice’s orders by posing in various odd ways.

Somewhat horrifying, yet somewhat intriguing.

"What is this?"

Alice heard Shen Sui’s inquiry and immediately puffed out her chest proudly: "I referred to this world’s rules and turned Puppetry Magic into a virus. Anyone infected by this virus will become a puppet that obeys my commands."

[Ding! You have obtained a Spell Card: Puppet Virus]

"..."

"How about it? Amazing, right?" Alice boasted.

"I feel like you might be the Demon King who destroys the world." Shen Sui couldn’t help but tease.

Alice blinked: "What’s wrong?"

"How infectious is this Puppet Virus?" Shen Sui scrutinized the zombies infected by the Puppet Virus and asked carefully.

"Of course, it’s top-notch! Air, blood, feces, I’ve listed all transmission mediums," Alice said, "And as I didn’t increase its lethality, I could ramp up its infectiousness!"

"...Isn’t this thing lethal?" Shen Sui pointed at the zombies.

With her hands on her hips, Alice directed the zombies to perform a passionate dance, and due to the high difficulty, one of the zombies even twisted its head backwards.

The blonde demoness righteously stated: "See, you tell me whether they’re dead!"

Good grief, this is worse than dying!

"Will you make humans into puppets too?" Shen Sui lamented.

Puppetry Magic, after all, is evil black magic.

It’s a magic that refines humans into puppets.

Alice stroked her chin and said, "Then I’ll modify it so this virus targets only zombies infected by Haral’s breath."

"And then..." As Alice spoke, a spark flickered in her eyes, "The command won’t just be mine anymore, any human can issue commands."

"Haha, if that’s the case, humans in this world can command these zombies to work and fight!"

Shen Sui’s mouth twitched: "You really are considerate."

But there’s no denying that Alice’s method is quite executable.

In a world of zombie apocalypse, fighting virus with virus is certainly an innovative idea.

Perhaps only someone with Alice’s unique mindset could come up with such a bizarre solution.

"There seems to be a battle over there!"

Just as she was thinking, Alice’s Puppet Dragon issued a warning, and Alice immediately looked into the distance, pointing out the direction to Shen Sui.

Shen Sui looked over there.

Several human mechas were fighting amidst the zombies.

These zombies infected by Haral’s power exploded with unimaginable strength during the fight.

The super armor that once killed zombies as though cutting vegetables struggled against these zombies.

However, one of the mechas seemed to exhibit unusually strong prowess, relying on somewhat outdated equipment, carving a bloody path through the zombies, paving the way for its teammates.

"Go help them."

Having finally seen human NPCs worth talking to, Shen Sui naturally chose not to ignore it.

Alice: "Understood!"

The next moment, the Corpse Puppet Dragon dove towards the battlefield below.

With the dragon’s roar, everyone present was stunned.

Meanwhile, the Soul Card alarm on the Dueling Device sounded.

This indicates the presence of Soul Cards among these humans.

Boom!

The Puppet Dragon landed steadily on the ground, crushing nearby zombies into pulp.

Alice stood atop the Puppet Dragon, wielding the Dawn Staff which radiated bright light.

In an instant, the zombies around began to stiffen in their movements.

The Puppet Virus quickly seized their control over their own bodies.

"Alice?"

A woman’s voice cried out from the crowd.

But the person leading did not focus on Alice; instead, his gaze fell on Shen Sui.

He stepped forward, and upon confirming these zombies were no longer threatening, opened his head armor, revealing a somewhat handsome face.

Shen Sui couldn’t recognize the person but felt a faint guess from the person’s aura.

"You actually came to this world?" the man spoke, "Though I heard Yingxue mentioning it."

Yingxue...

Shen Sui couldn’t help but smile: "Isn’t this too coincidental?"

"Yes, indeed! Long time no see." Xinyuan Yingxue also opened her head armor.

Her projection in this world looked very much like her real-world self.

Given Xinyuan Yingxue’s presence, the identity of the man before him was unmistakable.

Lin Zhen!

No wonder he felt a bit familiar.

It turns out he had seen this guy’s face before in the dueling grounds.

Only, when he operated in the real world, he was occupying someone else’s body.
