Living As A Demon In A Post - Apocalyptic World

Zena stripped down to her u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r then threw on the combat clothes she looted from the Human while recalling his taste.

His flesh tasted like the midst meat she had ever tasted and the small nucleus in his brain was bitten out by her.

Four energies ran a circuit in her body before colliding inside her brain.

Not knowing, the area around her started to grow cold as ice coated her claws.

She moved away from the child as the energies swirled into the nucleus located in her brain.

With a bang, the energies turned gentle and mild as they took on a blue hint, as before they were colorless.

Zena thought for a moment then said status.

[ Name : Zena

Species : Zombie

Rank : 3 (Intelligent)

Superpower : Ice ]

She noticed that intelligent appeared next to her rank and figured out that all common rank three zombies were considered intelligent zombies.

A soft smile appeared on her face as the hunger which bothered her the most when she was near the human child dissipated somewhat.

Not enough to make the child completely safe, but enough that Zena felt the difference.

Zena smiled and picked up the child and dropped from the roof and landed softly like a cat.

She looked at the wreckage of cars that lined the streets while carrying the child in a bridal carry.

The child looked up and saw black eyes gazing into her own causing her to cover her eyes with her hands.

The child didn't appear that dirty to Zena however, while grime covered the child's face, the child's features were exquisite, like that of a doll crafted my artisan. Shiny gem-like black eyes, small delicate lips, and adorable oval face made Zena want to protect her.

However Zena knew she was a zombie now, though she wanted to protect the child, her instinct might bring her to kill the child someday, so rather than wait for the inevitable, why not let her go with some humans.

Zena walked to a gas station and slashed her claws at the lock, causing it to burst open.

Shouldering open the door, she looked at rows and rows of untouched food and placed the child down and walked over to a bag of ch.i.p.s and opened it.

Popping a few in her mouth, she was reminded of the nuclei she ate and asked the system in her mind what they were.

Zena nodded to herself while she thought of something.

'Do I have a nucleus?' She knew that answer but asked anyway as it would be strange if she didn't have one.

'Huh? Tutorial? What tutorial? Answer me!' She inwardly exclaimed while growl escaped her throat.

Zena nearly spat blood then apologized to all the people she kicked who she thought had an unreasonable system, because her system was unbelievable.
