Hard work alone couldn’t beat talent. What’s even worse was that talent couldn’t beat those who were using hacks.

In this case, Zayne would truly be useless if he were given a system and he still couldn’t surpass the SSS-rank innate talent holders in the Main World Terra.

Facing Henry’s question, Zayne had no intentions of concealing it, "At the time I had awakened my innate talent, I had been focused on becoming stronger."

"When I gained a bit of power, I went out and saw Kurt and our schoolmates being besieged by zombies, so I assisted them. I’ve even managed to hook up with Jade, curing her zombie bite and obtaining her loyalty after I killed Victor, who was eying her beauty."

"And tell you what, when I was slaughtering all of Victor’s gangsters, Ben Dover was one of them and he happened to have an SSS-rank Time Stop innate talent!"

Hearing Zayne mention Ben Dover’s innate talent, Jacob couldn’t help but exclaim, "Holy shit! Isn’t that too OP?! Fortunately, we didn’t encounter him, or else we’d be toast."

Zayne shrugged, "Even with an SSS-rank Time Stop innate talent, Ben Dover was still no match for me. Oh, I’ve also asked Kurt and the others, but they didn’t know where you are, and Alan was only last seen by them in the computer lab."

"Anyways, after that incident, I went to various cities and even another country to hoard resources and settled down with Jade in my house. Afterwards, now that I’m confident with the power I’ve possessed, I’ve come out of my seclusion and decided to find you two and Damien."

Listening to Zayne’s brief narration of what happened, Alan spoke up, "So, I presume you already have more than enough power to go solo?"

Zayne nodded, "Yep. I’ve only gone out to see you and the others to check you all have been doing. Although it’s quite fast, I’ve already built a family with Jade, and so I can no longer accompany you guys."

The "fast" that Zayne had mentioned was relative to them only experiencing a few hours since the Zombie Apocalypse World Update Theme had started.

Otherwise, he and Jade had already experienced more than a hundred years, and so the bond between them wasn’t that shallow.

Henry nodded in understanding, "That’s understandable. If you team up with us, we’ll inevitably become third wheelers to Jade and your two-person world."

"Also, you’ve mentioned you’ve visited other cities and even another country. How strong are you now?"

Facing Henry’s question, while Zayne didn’t mind telling the truth, he knew that no matter how they believed him, they’d likely think he was joking.

After all, just a few hours after the zombie apocalypse had started, and he was already star system-level? Even those protagonists in novels with cheats couldn’t be this fast.

Instead of telling the truth, Zayne lied, "I’m already at country-level. If I want to, I can destroy the entire country in an instant. If I spend several days, it’s not impossible to sink the continental plate as well."

Hearing Zayne’s lie, they didn’t doubt him since he even mentioned he had dealt with someone with time stop. Moreover, if an innate talent was powerful enough, it’s not impossible to achieve that.

Even so, Alan couldn’t help but exclaim, "Goddamn bro! With that much power, I doubt if I can still act as nonchalant as you."

"Although not as blatant as that damn playboy, I might not be able to resist starting a harem."

Hearing Alan’s exclamation, Henry shook his head, "It’s not that simple. Country-level is indeed powerful for this Apocalypse World Update Theme since it’s merely zombies, but you shouldn’t forget that there’s a possibility the next Second Apocalypse World Update Theme will feature powerhouses stronger than that."

Compared to living day by day in the zombie apocalypse just to survive, Henry was interested in becoming stronger, and so he hadn’t forgotten what the World Will and that deranged announcer had mentioned.

Knowing Henry’s mindset, Zayne nodded in approval. "This world inherently has its own power system. I’m currently the World’s Strongest right now, but I might not be able to keep this status in the second month."

"I can inform you four about what I know. But first, Alan’s zombie bite must be treated as soon as possible."

Shifting everyone’s attention back to Alan’s zombie bite, Henry and the others only now remembered that they still had to deal with Alan’s injury.

A zombie bite was just a general term for any injury that had zombie virus transmitted by a zombie. It didn’t necessarily have to be an injury caused by a zombie’s bite, as it could also include scratches and whatnot.

Henry and the others, including Alan himself, were so invested in chatting with Zayne that they momentarily forgot about it.

After all, compared to those who were in agony due to being bitten by a zombie, Alan had used his SSS-rank Critic Complainer innate talent to suppress the zombie virus, which made him feel less pain from it. Even the zombie virus transmitted to him was weakened and suppressed.

Otherwise, if it were the average person who had experienced the same injury as Alan, they would have turned into a zombie long ago and wouldn’t be chatting with Zayne and the others like a normal healthy person.

Regarding Alan’s zombie bite, Zayne had plenty of ways to deal with it.

Even before the Second Doomsday Life Simulation, he had already dealt with something similar to Jade’s zombie bite, which he merely used his Fairy King of Sealing’s sealing fairy power to seal it and take it out of her body.

Alan’s zombie bite was even milder than what Jade had experienced. After all, Alan had only been scratched by a zombie, while Jade had truly been bitten. And unlike Jade, Alan possessed the means to weaken and suppress the zombie virus.

Taking out the zombie virus cure he had acquired from a wooden chest before, Zayne asked, "Is this the one you guys are looking for? I actually have plenty of ways to deal with the zombie virus aside from this serum."
