System Glitch! I Accidentally Saved The Zombie Emperor

Amid Gu Lingjian’s worried cries and the soldiers’ shouts, one of them anxiously pushed the others aside.

"Move away! Let me check his wounds!"

As the only military doctor on their team, Fu Shuo had higher authority than their captain, Gu Lingjian, in medical emergencies.

When the others heard his words, they quickly stepped back and formed a defensive circle around Fu Shuo and the unconscious Mu Nan.

While Fu Shuo was checking Mu Nan’s condition, Gu Lingjian and the others could only wait anxiously.

Two minutes later, Fu Shuo’s expression turned gloomy.

Noticing the change in his expression, Gu Lingjian clenched his fists tightly as he asked, "How is Xiao Mu?"

When Fu Shuo looked up, the others saw the heavy emotions in his eyes, and their hearts sank.

Fu Shuo shook his head and replied with a hint of despair, sadness, and helplessness in his voice, "...Xiao Mu... h-he was scratched by the zombies."

The second his words fell, Gu Lingjian and the others’ faces turned pale.

Six months had passed since the apocalypse struck the world. Until now, nothing could save those infected by the X Virus.

Looking at Mu Nan’s wounds, which had already begun to rot and ooze thick black blood, Gu Lingjian tremblingly asked, "Is there really nothing we can do to stop his mutation?"

Fu Shuo scanned his teammates’ faces one after another and saw the familiar despair in their eyes.

As a doctor, his first priority was to save lives. Unfortunately, in the face of the mysterious X Virus, even the most skilled healers in the world were helpless.

"..."

Fu Shuo lowered his head without saying anything. Taking a deep breath, he took out the last roll of bandages from his backpack and began wrapping Mu Nan’s infected arm.

Receiving no answer from him, Gu Lingjian closed his eyes.

’Out of one hundred comrades, only ten are left. Can’t I even protect those who remain?’

While Gu Lingjian’s team was shrouded in a heavy atmosphere, Liu Yun had already picked up more than one hundred crystal cores. Just as she picked up a green crystal core, the System suddenly issued a mission.

Ding!

[Side Mission: Save one infected human.]

[Time Limit: 12 hours]

[Reward: Small Gift Pack x1, 200 System Points, 100 Experience Points.]

[Penalty: The emergence of a high-level zombie general.]

[Accept] or [Reject]

Liu Yun read the mission notification for a moment before turning to look at the group of men wearing military uniforms in the distance.

She pondered for a few seconds, then pressed the [Accept] button.

After accepting the mission, Liu Yun closed the notification and checked the main interface. Only a few icons were displayed there: Inventory, Mission Center, and System Mall.

Thinking about the time limit of the side quest, Liu Yun decided to collect all the crystal cores first before checking the System Mall. Maybe she could find something there that could save the infected person.

Having made her decision, Liu Yun closed the System panel and continued collecting the crystal cores.

Forty minutes later, sweat had already soaked Liu Yun’s clothes, and her lower back was beginning to ache from repeatedly bending over.

By the time she picked up the last crystal core, she straightened her waist and groaned. Lightly pounding her sore waist, Liu Yun said, "System, please open the inventory."

At her command, a transparent blue screen appeared in front of Liu Yun, displaying the inventory interface.

Now that she had collected all the crystal cores, Liu Yun finally had the time to check the inventory function carefully.

As a gamer, the most basic thing to do was to check how large the inventory was. Following her past experience, she scanned the inventory panel with practiced ease.

[1 / 999]

Seeing the number displayed in the top-right corner, Liu Yun muttered, "Not bad. The System is quite generous for giving me 999 free slots at the beginning."

After checking the number of inventory slots she had, Liu Yun searched for a while but found nothing regarding the inventory’s weight limit. Letting out a sigh of relief, she smiled in satisfaction.

"Without any weight limitation, I will have much more freedom in using this inventory function."

After making sure there were no hidden restrictions in the System’s inventory function, Liu Yun looked at the only item displayed inside it.

She raised her hand and tapped the first slot in the inventory with her index finger. In an instant, another blue screen appeared beside the inventory screen.

A 3D image of the white, transparent crystal cores appeared on the left side of the new screen, while the right side showed basic information about the crystal cores.

[Level 0 Zombie Crystal Core]

[Details: A crystal core formed inside a level 0 zombie’s brain.]

[289 / 999,999]

Liu Yun briefly read the information before looking at the number displayed on the screen.

Rubbing her chin, she thought, ’The System told me that more than three thousand zombies were chasing those people. But now, there are only 289 crystal cores here. That means the probability of a zombie forming a crystal core is only around 8%.’

’Since this is a Level 0 Crystal Core, there should be Level 1, Level 2, or even higher-level crystal cores in the future. Based on this number and my gaming experience, the higher the item’s level, the rarer and harder it is to obtain.’

Letting out a sad sigh, she muttered, "Looks like it won’t be easy for me to collect System Points in the future. I should maximize every possible way of earning them whenever I can."

After planning for the future, Liu Yun closed the System interface. Turning around, she searched the area but couldn’t find the group.

When she realized that they had left, Liu Yun became anxious.

"Oh, no! Where are they going?!"
