She held both strands in her hand and closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"System,\" she said silently in her mind, \"run a DNA test.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jake watched as the two hairs in her hand suddenly vanished into thin air, like they’d been sucked into nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes widened. \"What was that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai shook her head and gave him a small smile. \"Nothing. Just a little trick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jake looked like he wanted to ask more, but before he could speak, a ding sounded in her mind. The DNA results were already back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart beat a little faster as she read them... and then slowly sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>5%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just 5% compatibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai let out a breath. So... Jake wasn’t related to her after all. No family bond. No secret connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had all been in her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew the 5% was only because she had some vampire blood in her body. That was it. Nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But reality was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, her curiosity wasn’t gone. She asked out loud, \"What would happen if someone had half vampire and half werewolf blood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jake raised an eyebrow. \"That’s a strange question,\" he said, but he didn’t brush it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought for a long moment before answering,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well... that person would probably have a really long life. Maybe even live over a thousand years. Two thousand, even.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai’s eyes widened. \"Two thousand?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She coughed, hiding her shock. She hadn’t even thought about living that long. The idea felt... weird. Who wanted to live for two thousand years?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trying to keep calm, she asked another question. \"Can someone be turned into a vampire?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jake gave her a sharp look. \"Why? Are you planning to turn someone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai quickly shook her head. \"No, no. Just wondering.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at her for a second before answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Turning someone into a vampire isn’t easy. It takes a lot of effort... and rituals. Even I don’t remember how to do it anymore. My memory’s a mess after all these years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai nodded, even though she was a little disappointed. She wanted to know, just in case, but she didn’t push him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good to know,\" she said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Jake asked something that made her pause again. \"So... when are you planning to open a portal to the vampire world?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai looked at him, eyes thoughtful. \"Soon,\" she said. But the truth was... she didn’t really know. The portal selection was random. She couldn’t control it yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But maybe... just maybe... she could change that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suddenly remembered the crystal she’d found before, the one given by Yuan Xin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe if she absorbed it, it would trigger something. Maybe it could help open the vampire world again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that idea in mind, she stood up. \"I need to go,\" she said to Jake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave her a small nod, but his eyes followed her carefully. She didn’t say goodbye. She just left, calm and quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.......................\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in her underground room, Su Jiyai didn’t take out the crystal right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she pulled on her training clothes and started her usual workout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Punch. Kick. Dash. Dodge. Over and over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing her workout, she started to train in her martial arts and cultivated, before feeling tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lay there, staring at the ceiling, planning to nap for just a little while...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then... ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Notification: The half-zombie in your base is about to break through his first cultivation stage.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai sat up fast, her tiredness forgotten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Already?\" she said, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only half-zombie in the entire Hope Base was the child of Rui Wang and Fu Lin, a couple who had joined about a year ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai blinked in surprise. ’How could a baby this small already reach the first stage of cultivation? It didn’t make any sense.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a deep breath and called out to the system, \"System, take me to the half-zombie’s location.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a soft flash, she teleported into a small, cozy room where Rui Wang and Fu Lin stood near a baby crib.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The couple looked exhausted and helpless as they stared at their glowing son, who was laughing and kicking his tiny feet, as if nothing was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leader Su!\" Rui Wang stood up quickly, her face pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Lin bowed deeply. \"We didn’t mean to cause trouble...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai stepped closer, her eyes on the glowing baby boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skin had a faint greenish tint, not too strong, but enough to show his zombie side. Other than that, he looked... almost normal. Human, even. That alone was strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened?\" Su Jiyai asked, her voice calm but serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rui Wang hesitated, then glanced at Fu Lin. He gave her a small nod, and she began to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It started a few days ago,\" Rui Wang said. \"We noticed our crystals were disappearing. At first, we thought someone was stealing them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We were even about to file a complaint,\" Fu Lin added. \"But then...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One day, I was holding a crystal in my hand,\" Rui Wang continued. \"And it suddenly vanished. Right in front of my eyes. Then we heard... laughing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai blinked. \"Laughing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rui Wang nodded slowly. \"A soft baby giggle. That’s when we realized it was our son... he was the one absorbing the crystals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At first, we thought it was a good thing,\" Fu Lin said, scratching his head. \"So we left it alone. But then... when we stopped leaving crystals in our room, our neighbors started losing theirs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We think he was reaching for them... even from far away,\" Rui Wang whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s only five months old, but he’s already pulling crystals from other rooms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai stared at them, completely speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A five-month-old baby... absorbing energy through walls? That’s not normal.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked down at the baby again. He was staring up at her now with wide, curious eyes. His little fingers reached toward her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai sighed. \"What triggered the evolution?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rui Wang and Fu Lin shook their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We don’t know,\" Fu Lin said. \"We were just playing with him, holding him like usual, and then... he started to glow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai narrowed her eyes thoughtfully. This wasn’t just a fluke. Something was happening. And she didn’t like not knowing what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned down and gently picked up the baby. He made a happy noise, not scared at all. In fact, he seemed... excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the baby in her arms, Su Jiyai turned to Rui Wang and Fu Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll take him for now. I need to run some checks,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both nodded quickly. \"Please take care of him,\" Rui Wang said, her eyes full of worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will,\" Su Jiyai promised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, with another soft flash of light, she teleported again, this time, deep into her personal underground room, far beneath the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she arrived, she placed the baby on a soft cushion and activated the room’s protective shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, his birth had attracted various zombies to the base’s entrance. God knows what kind of trouble he will attract today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up at the monitor screens that showed the area outside the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she feared, a group of wandering zombies was starting to gather in the distance, slowly, quietly, but steadily moving toward the outer borders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This baby... this half-zombie child... was attracting attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai stared at the child, who now looked like a healthy baby boy with a soft green glow around him. He yawned and curled up on the cushion like nothing was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Looks can be deceiving,’ she thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sat down cross-legged across from him and whispered to herself, \"I need help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for the first time, she decided to do something new.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m forming an investigation team,\" she said aloud. \"From now on, I can’t handle every mystery alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system chimed softly in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[New task created: Build an elite investigation unit to study rare evolutions, mutations, and anomalies.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...............\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far away from Hope Base, deep inside the Forbidden Wastes, a dark cave pulsed with energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside that cave, the Zombie King, Narak, sat cross-legged on a bed of bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skin was ash-gray, and his body glowed faintly with black mist. He had been cultivating for many days, gathering strength, focusing all his power into one goal, becoming the ruler of all zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly... his eyes snapped open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air around him changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up slowly, sniffing the wind. His sharp nose twitched. His glowing red eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is this...?\" he whispered in his gravelly voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head toward the east, the direction of Hope Base. Something had awakened. No, not just something. Someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange aura had appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was part zombie, but also part... human?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible,\" Narak growled under his breath. \"A half-zombie child?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1506,"2026-06-06T06:36:51.194Z",1,"novelbin.me","ce0fa394ff3232cce3f1aeb39ce08a81fdc6d5ef5978190ade266b3c3b56eddc","apocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-chapter-555","apocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-chapter-553",661,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-cover.jpg"]
