chapter one Well, it happened. After all that time, they got us. The zombies bit us. We turned. We transformed. Look at us—twisted undead faces, slumping undead posture. We're zombies. Absolute zombies. Quint: zombie. Dirk: zombie. June: total, big-time zombie. Things are different now... Our adventures are a little slower: less darting around, more shambling. And our appetites have changed: less grilled donuts, more flesh burgers. Y'know what—let me catch you up. Fill you in. Explain HOW we joined the ranks of the undead. See, it's been about a month since, uh, BIG STUFF HAPPENED. A month since we

嗯，事情发生了。 过了这么久，他们终于抓到我们了。 僵尸咬了我们。我们把。 我们改变了。看看我们，扭曲的僵尸脸，下垂的僵尸姿势。 我们的僵尸。绝对的僵尸。 五胞胎:僵尸。德克:僵尸。 琼：彻头彻尾的大僵尸。 现在情况不同了…… 我们的冒险稍微慢了一些：少了跑动，多了步履蹒跚。 我们的胃口也发生了变化：少了烤甜甜圈，多了肉汉堡。 这样吧，我来跟你说。 告诉你。解释一下我们是如何加入亡灵大军的。 你看，大事件发生已经有一个月了。 一个月前我们

battled a new villain; a villain who was HUMAN.... This villain's name is EVIE SNARK, and like me, she's a super-mega-geek. But unlike me, she's OUT OF HER EVER-LOVING MIND... First, she stole my beloved Louisville Slicer, and I was like, nuh-uh, NOT OK. Then, she caused Dirk to be bitten by a zombie!

与一个新的恶棍战斗；一个人类反派.... 这个反派的名字叫EVIE SNARK，和我一样，她是一个超级极客。 但与我不同的是，她失去了她那一直爱着我的头脑…… 首先，她偷了我心爱的路易斯维尔切片机，我就觉得，不，不，不行。 然后，她让德克被僵尸咬了！

It was all part of her big bad cosmic plan— she was going to perform this weirdo ritual and bring the Cosmic Terror, GHAZT, into our dimension. See, Ghazt is "The General" and he has the ability to control zombies with his TAIL.... And that's, like, bad. But Quint, June, and I swung in like the Three Compadres! We saved Dirk by feeding him an eyeball, lent to us by our monster buddy Warg. The eyeball had some kind of healing, anti-zombie elixir inside, and Dirk sucked down the contents like a glass of hot, gooey lemonade. (It was gross, yep.) We got the Slicer back, too! But not before it connected with the monster dimension...

这都是她的大坏宇宙计划的一部分——她要执行这个怪异的仪式，把宇宙恐怖，GHAZT，带到我们的次元。 看，Ghazt是“将军”，他有能力用他的尾巴控制僵尸.... 这很糟糕。但是昆特、琼和我就像三个同伴一样冲了进来！我们喂了德克一个眼球，救了他，那是我们的怪物朋友瓦格借给我们的。 眼球里有一种治疗、抗僵尸的灵丹妙药，德克像喝了一杯又热又粘的柠檬水一样把里面的东西吸了下去。 （确实很恶心。）切片机也回来了！但在它与怪物维度相连之前……

THINGS GOT WEIRD And in the end, well—WE KINDA FAILED. Evie's plan worked! Ghazt entered our dimension. But, because we interfered, things went a little sideways and Ghazt took the form of a RAT—a rat mixed with Evie's action figure collection. So now he's a half-plastic, half-rodent, zombie-controlling cosmic creep. And they escaped! Evie and Ghazt: now at large, on the loose, concocting bad guy plans!

事情变得很奇怪最后，我们失败了。 伊薇的计划成功了！Ghazt进入了我们的次元。 但是，由于我们的干涉，事情有点偏离了方向，Ghazt以老鼠的形式出现了——一只老鼠和Evie的人偶组合在一起。 所以他现在是个半塑料半啮齿动物，控制僵尸的宇宙怪物。 他们逃走了！伊薇和加斯特：现在逍遥法外，策划着坏人的计划！

And that leads us to... this very morning. And us, becoming zombies. Me, Jack Sullivan—former Post-Apocalyptic Action Hero! Now, just a lousy Post- Apocalyptic ZOMBIE DUDE. And June, Dirk, and Quint. Also zombies. We're just four, regular, normal zombies among hundreds. Things have taken a turn for the terrifying...

这就把我们引向……就在今天早上。 而我们，变成了僵尸。我，杰克·沙利文，前末世时代的动作英雄！现在，只是一个糟糕的后世界末日僵尸。 还有琼、德克和昆特。 僵尸。我们只是几百个普通僵尸中的四个。 事情开始变得可怕了。
