Artificial Human (4)

It didn't take long for System 225 to come back with results.

[Host, I figured out why he has no memories. When the body becomes overrun by the Z-Virus, the soul interprets the body as dead, but the body isn't completely dead, so the soul gets trapped in the body causing a backlash, hence the complete memory loss. Souls are interesting. Normally, they can only leave the body if the body dies completely, but because of this half-dead state the Z-Virus leaves people in, they become trapped in there until they are killed.]

It gave Adam 1 chills to know that these souls were trapped in these bodies.

According to the plot of this world, even though zombies ate human flesh to stay alive, they didn't need it often and could survive a couple of hundred years without eating. They would die after 3 hundred years without eating though...

'What the hell? Did they stay half-dead for that long? Disgusting! Is this how it is in all zombie apocalyptic worlds?'

[I'm also not very sure. I've never really analyzed their bodies like I have done in this world.]

He felt it was necessary to wipe the world of these zombies so that the souls could find rest. It was sad to think they were trapped with nowhere to go for so long... He knew it was impossible to save all the zombies, but if he could save some, even if it was just to liberate some of them from their half-dead bodies, that would be good.

System 225 knew what Adam 1 was thinking. They knew what it was like to be trapped, that was why he couldn't say anything to stop him.

'System, does this one have a name?'

[His name was William before he died.]

Adam 1 nodded and then used telepathy to talk with William. 'William, first, we are going to take your vitals, next, get you cleaned up, and then we are going to go find you some food. If you feel uncomfortable or feel something is not right, you must let me know immediately.'

'Okay.'

Adam 1 walked out of the room with William following behind him. William saw Adam 1 as his mother but also his Master, so he followed closely behind, like chicks following their mother. It was odd to see, but it was very cute.

After checking William's vitals and determining them to be slightly below average, he helped him take a shower, and then walked into the room where he had the other zombies. Those zombies had been sitting obediently for a while and didn't make any noises. Only Little Jerald would from time to time, slam his hand on the desk like he was typing.

For normal zombies, they didn't have any vitals as if they were dead. If they were like Jerald, they had a pulse that was 2x the average. Once they were given the serum, their numbers would drop to where William had his vitals. Obviously, it was slightly different for each zombie due to size and tier, but it was interesting to see.

Adam 1 decided that he was going to give Jerald the serum a few days later as he wanted to see if his serum was correct. He also didn't want to risk losing Jerald.

[Host, aren't you too attached to Jerald? Wouldn't God System get mad?]

'It's fine, it's fine. Jerald is my friend and must be protected.'

Meanwhile, Morgan and Cooper were already at the outskirts of the capital. They slipped through using their abilities and camped into Cooper's Spatial ability all night. His Spatial ability was about the size of a studio apartment, so it wasn't uncomfortable. It was purely a storage so it wasn't like those cheat novels where their Spatial ability could grow crops and such. It was simple, but the size alone was enough for the two of them and their little bit of belongings.
