System Glitch! I Accidentally Saved The Zombie Emperor

Opening the Beverage section, Liu Yun purchased three bottles of Energy Water and one cup of Refreshing Lemon Tea.

Ding!

[Thank you for your purchase, Player. The items have been delivered to your inventory.]

After spending all of her System Points, Liu Yun immediately took out a bottle of Energy Water and drank it in a few gulps.

Ding!

[Consuming Energy Water x1. Stamina Points +10. Minor fatigue successfully removed.]

When the empty bottle disappeared from her hand, Liu Yun took out the Refreshing Lemon Tea from her inventory and drank it.

Ding!

[Consuming Refreshing Lemon Tea x1. Mental Points +10. Mild mental fatigue successfully removed.]

As the warm energy soothed her aching muscles, her headache gradually disappeared. Now that both her stamina and mental points had recovered, Liu Yun turned around and ran toward the gas station without looking back.

Although she had no intention of traveling with Ye Xuan and his friends permanently, they were her best chance of survival for now.

Worried that the future Zombie Emperor might die and become the real Zombie Emperor, Liu Yun quickened her pace. Just as she took a few more steps, another notification appeared.

Ding!

[The Beginner Protection Shield has expired.]

Hearing the notification, Liu Yun’s heart skipped a beat.

Her fingers instinctively tightened around the wooden stick. For the first time since arriving in the Apocalypse World, Liu Yun truly felt vulnerable.

As if sensing her anxiety, the System suddenly spoke. [Player, you can unlock a similar protective shield in the System Mall after reaching a certain level or completing a special hidden mission.]

Hearing this, Liu Yun’s eyes lit up.

As long as she could purchase a similar protective shield from the System Mall, she would gain another layer of protection, greatly increasing her chances of surviving in this world.

With that thought in mind, Liu Yun asked, "System, can you tell me the requirements for unlocking the protective shield?"

At her question, the System patiently explained, [To unlock the Basic Defensive Shield, the Player must reach Level 20 or complete a special hidden mission.]

Hearing the answer, Liu Yun took a sharp breath.

To reach Level 12, she had already killed tens of thousands of zombies—and that was only possible because of the Beginner Protection Shield. If she had to rely solely on herself, reaching Level 20 would be very difficult and take an incredibly long time.

As for completing special hidden missions, she didn’t even know how to obtain one, let alone complete it.

Letting out a disappointed sigh, she could only say, "Never mind. Just let me know when the Basic Defensive Shield becomes available in the System Mall."

[Understood. The System will notify the Player once the Basic Defensive Shield becomes available.]

Now that the Beginner Protection Shield was gone, Liu Yun immediately increased her pace while keeping a vigilant eye on her surroundings.

Ten minutes later, her back was already soaked with sweat, and her legs ached so badly that they almost felt numb. Just as she was about to stop and rest on the roadside, she spotted a gas station in the distance.

Slowing to a walk, Liu Yun said between breaths, "System, please scan the gas station and see if the Zombie Emperor and his friends are there."

Ding!

[Scanning in progress.]

Liu Yun didn’t have to wait long before another notification appeared.

Ding!

[Detecting 3 Level 1 Ability Users, 28 Level 0 Ability Users, and 875 ordinary humans.]

While Liu Yun was reading the results, the System’s mechanical voice continued, [Player, the Zombie Emperor and his friends are inside the warehouse.]

Ding!

[Displaying the map of the gas station and surrounding area.]

A second later, a map appeared before Liu Yun, followed by the System’s mechanical voice.

[Player, the locations of the Zombie Emperor and his companions have been marked on the map. You can just follow the green route to reach them.]

Liu Yun smiled and sincerely said, "Thank you, System."

After saying that, she studied the route for a moment before continuing toward the gas station. This time, instead of running, she walked cautiously with her wooden stick ready to stab the enemies while observing her surroundings.

Along the way, she noticed that the main highway had already been cleared, but the side roads remained blocked by abandoned vehicles. Some sections of the roads had even collapsed completely, making them impassable.

It was clear that someone had deliberately cleared the highway, while the abandoned side roads had been left untouched.

Looking away from the side roads, Liu Yun turned her attention to the gas station. Spotting several military armored vehicles parked inside and a few people wearing military uniforms, she frowned slightly.

"System, can you identify those people?" she asked curiously.

Hearing her question, the System replied, [Player, you can spend System Points to check their information and backgrounds.]

When Liu Yun heard this, her eyes lit up for a moment before she quickly suppressed her expectations. After spending two days with the System, she knew it would never give things for free.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Yun asked, "How much does it cost?"

When her question fell, the System’s mechanical voice came in an instant, [Only ten System Points per person.]

Hearing the answer, Liu Yun rubbed her chin thoughtfully.

"Ten System Points is equivalent to one Level 0 Zombie Crystal Core. That’s pretty expensive."

While she was considering it, the System added, [Player, you may try the trial version once for free. Would you like to use it?]

The moment the System finished speaking, Liu Yun’s eyes lit up. She immediately nodded like a chicken pecking on rice and excitedly replied, "Yes! Use it!"

As soon as she answered, several notifications sounded in her mind.

Ding!

[Obtained Appraisal Trial Card ×1.]

Ding!

[Appraisal Trial Card ×1 activated automatically.]

[Locating the target]

While the System was scanning for the target, Liu Yun looked at one of the soldiers guarding outside the gas station.

The tall soldier had a handsome face and sharp eyes that calmly observed every movement around him.

Ding!

[Appraisal successful. The Player may now view the target’s information.]

Before Liu Yun could fully process what had happened, a transparent information panel suddenly appeared above the tall soldier.
