Fantasy Simulator

“As time passed, we discovered many changes…” the MC enthusiastically spoke, “Such as trees, and cities…

“Over time, trees began to take over our world, and the ruins of cities are now filled with trees.

“From our inferences, the newly-grown lifeforms have all gone through unique mutations.

“The most obvious are these trees…”

As she spoke, the camera zoomed into some trees.

Most of the trees were quite normal, but some looked incredibly strange.

“This is one of them…” the MC spoke as the camera focused on a certain tree, “This tree looks like an ordinary maple tree, but once any living creature approaches it, it will change.”

As she spoke, a massive rabbit slowly walked over, hesitantly looking around for food.

It was just that as it approached the tree, a few wooden thorns suddenly shot out, piercing through the rabbit’s body.

Following this, a shocking scene unfolded.

As the rabbit struggled and died, its flesh seemed to corrode, causing its body to quickly melt, leaving behind only some fur.

This happened in just a few seconds.

After this happened, the wooden thorns slowly retracted, still covered with the rabbit’s blood.

As the wooden spikes retreated, the blood quickly disappeared, looking like it had been absorbed.

Everything had been tidied up in a few breaths of time as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned with looks of terror on their faces.

“That thing… is a tree?”

Many people stood up, grim looks on their faces.

“Just as everyone can see, this tree has mutated. Even though it still looks like a normal tree on the surface, that is just a cover.”

On the screen, the MC did not seem too perturbed and said, “According to hypotheses from experts, we might only be able to kill trees like this with heavy firepower. In the current world, there are many similar creatures.

“Let us have a look at the cities…”

As she spoke, the scene began to change, and soon, everyone was looking inside a city.

The satellite had chosen a normal-looking city, and the once-prosperous streets had been covered with grasses and weeds.

The cemented ground was covered with craters, which were all terrifying footprints.

Within the city, some humanoid creatures could be seen walking about.

“These unique existences are called Corpse People, and they are strange existences that have awoken from people’s corpses.

“They have humanoid bodies but have become much more powerful and terrifying.

“Perhaps it is because they were once people, but they like to wander in cities and eat other corpses…”

As the MC spoke, the camera zoomed in.

Everyone could see that these Corpse People had similar builds to normal people, but their faces were covered with rotten flesh.

Their eyes had long since disappeared, and they were replaced by insect-like eyes, looking quite terrifying.

Their bodies had become rigid, and there seemed to be a shell on the surface of their bodies, looking like a layer of armor.

Just looking at the appearance of these Corpse People, everyone shivered.

“Those things look quite scary…” many people thought as they looked at the Corpse People.

“Just as everyone has seen, these Corpse People look quite terrifying, and even though they are humanoid, they have already become a different organism.”

The MC sighed as she said, “Next, we will have an expert explain this for us. This is Professor Liu, an expert on mutated creatures.”

The MC smiled as she continued, “Professor Liu is at the apex of research on mutated creatures.”

“Thank you very much,” a middle-aged man with glasses said as he appeared. He looked quite ordinary and had an extremely serious expression.

“From our observations and research, we have come to understand some characteristics about the Corpse People.”

Liu Xiong took out a thin pointer and pointed at the Corpse Person as he said, “The so-called Corpse People are a mutated existence from human corpses.

“From our understanding, they share some characteristics with humans such as walking about in cities and walking with their legs. However, at the same time, they like to eat humans and even eat other Corpse People.

“As an independent race, they even have reproductive abilities and can create new existences… The mutant creatures’ evolution abilities seem to have passed on to the Corpse People.”

“Professor Liu…”

Looking at Liu Xiong, the MC asked, “In your opinion, why do you think these Corpse People are wandering around in the city?”

“Corpse People ordinarily do not do pointless things. Usually, in order to reduce their bodily functions, they will choose a place to lay in the sun and will not walk about like this.”

The middle-aged man continued, “There is only one explanation why they would act like this, which is to eat.”

Hearing this, the MC asked in surprise, “But what is there for these Corpse People to eat? I’m sure there are not any people in those ruins.”

“Perhaps it’s other creatures’ corpses…” the middle-aged man said before continuing, “We’ll know soon.”

Hearing this, the MC nodded.

Following this, the camera followed the Corpse People as they slowly moved.

If this was done by a for-profit company, they definitely would not have slowly followed the Corpse People like this.

After all, this was a programme that billions of people were watching, and every second was precious.

However, this programme was not for profit but for everyone to know of the dangers in the outside world.

This was for the purposes of potential counterattacks in the future.

In the distant future, humanity would once again go above ground.

When that time came, all of the dangerous creatures there would be their enemies.

If they educated everyone early, when the time came, everyone would have more knowledge of the creatures, reducing deaths and injuries.

In light of this, profits were not as important.

As everyone watched on, that Corpse Person slowly ambled forwards and walked into an abandoned building.

As if it smelled something, that Corpse Person seemed to become excited and rushed forwards, madly slamming at a security door.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned.

“Change the angle so we can see what is inside,” someone at the control desk said.

Following this, the line of sight displayed on the screens began to change, showing a small room, where there was a figure lying down.

That figure was not very big and was covered by tattered gray clothes.

It was a young boy.

“A person!”

Many people sat up.

“A person?”

“It’s a living person!”

“There are people living above ground?”

The people in front of the screens began to discuss.

No one could believe that there were still living people in the outside world.

“No,” Professor Liu shook his head, a look of sadness on his face, “That is not a living person.”

He deeply breathed in and pointed at the face of the figure, “Look at this position.”

Everyone could see some thin but dense lines at that place.

“These are Mutation Marks, and are a sign of a corpse becoming a Corpse Person. This child is currently turning into a Corpse Person.”

Professor Liu sounded quite sad as he said, “Evidently, this child is not a living person and has already died. That Corpse Person must have smelled that corpse’s scent, which was why it became so excited. After all, Corpse People love to eat human corpses.”

Only then did the audience realize that the child’s face was extraordinarily pale, and he was not moving at all.

Moreover, if he finished that transformation, he would become another Corpse Person. However, he would not have this opportunity because another Corpse Person had set its eyes on him.

Outside, the banging continuously sounded out before the security door was pushed down.

For an ordinary person, this would be completely incomprehensible.

The security door was incredibly firm, and it looked like it had been especially modified.

Even if a normal person used a hammer or other tools to smash at it, it would take a significant amount of time to push down.

However, that Corpse Person had been able to use its own strength to smash it open, and this had happened in just a few breaths of time.

This was truly shocking.

Seeing this scene, the audience became quite tense.

Corpse Person loved to eat humans but also ate corpses.

And now, there was a human corpse lying there… What would happen next?

“Sir, should we cut?” a researcher in a white gown asked a middle-aged man.

Even though this was a scientific broadcast, they should still censor some excessively gory scenes.

After all, apart from the adults, there were most likely many children watching.

Hearing that researcher’s words, the middle-aged man thought for a moment before saying, “No need to cut, but do some censoring at the right times.”

Even if they did not cut, putting mosaics would be enough.

Hearing this, the others began to hurry about.

As such, the broadcast continued.

As everyone watched on, the tall and ferocious Corpse Person slowly headed onwards.

It ambled into the room and staring at the corpse, its face twitched, seeming incredibly excited.

All of the audience’s expressions were very unsightly; they could already imagine the gory scene.

Following this, the Corpse Person stretched out its large, crude hand.

The Corpse Person’s hand was more like a claw, and it seemed that just by pressing down, it would be able to easily cut open that corpse.

Many people sighed and wanted to close their eyes, but in the end, they forced themselves to continue watching.

However, what they expected did not happen.

A slender, white arm suddenly shot out and blocked that claw.

It was a slender arm and looked like it did not contain any strength, but it had somehow blocked that massive arm.

Seeing this, everyone felt stunned.

In that moment, the seemingly-dead boy suddenly stood up as he grabbed the Corpse Person’s arm.

“What the hell are you…” a hoarse voice sounded out as the boy sharply raised his head and looked at the savage Corpse Person.

At that moment, the entire world was sent into an uproar.

“Alive! He’s still alive!”

“He’s not a corpse but a living person!”

In front of the screens, many people shot to their feet.

Online, there were countless discussions going on.

“What the hell are you…” was what he had said.

The satellite transmission had not contained any sound, but many people had deciphered the young man’s words through lip-reading.

“He can speak!”

“He’s definitely a living person!”

Many people became incredibly excited.

In front of the screen, the middle-aged man was stunned.

“Impossible, impossible…” he instinctively muttered.

That boy clearly had signs of becoming a Corpse Person.

However, even if he was not a Corpse Person, how could he have the strength to resist a Corpse Person?

Just what was going on?

However, undoubtedly, that boy had just spoken, and he had used their language.

He evidently had intelligence and was a human.

But how was this possible?

The middle-aged man felt incredibly confused, not knowing what to say.

Following this, even more unbelievable scenes unfolded.
