I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1168 - 1163 Sinister Plan

Chapter 1168: Chapter 1163 Sinister Plan

Wan Gaoxiong finished speaking and began to twist his body, but the next second, his complexion changed. He looked toward Song Muyuan with a face full of terror, quickly followed by contortions.

"What... what have you done to me?"

Wan Gaoxiong tried to move his limbs, but after exerting himself for a long time, he couldn’t feel his hands lifting. In his own field of view, his hands lay quietly on the ground, immobile.

Not only his hands but even his feet had lost sensation. Blood flowed from a point above his wrists, and he didn’t know what had happened; he only knew that his limbs were constantly being commanded.

Was this paralysis?

He suspected it was so, but his body clearly felt that he wasn’t paralyzed; it just couldn’t lift his hands.

"Damn!"

Wan Gaoxiong roared in anger, trying to use sheer strength to lift his hands and feet. He didn’t know how much force he had used until finally, his right hand lifted a little. Wan Gaoxiong saw and was thrilled, but soon after, he felt a wave of weakness and cold sweat began to bead on his forehead. The hand that had just lifted fell to the ground again.

The sudden exertion seemed to have awakened something in him. The moment his right hand hit the ground, Wan Gaoxiong felt intense pain erupting in his limbs, causing him to scream involuntarily.

Song Muyuan stood beside him, silent, his eyes seemingly pondering something. In the midst of Wan Gaoxiong’s screams of pain, a couple of seconds passed; then, Song Muyuan’s eyes lit up, he quickly looked at Wan Gaoxiong, and exclaimed, "I know what you’re trying to say now. You were just threatening me, right?"

Wan Gaoxiong didn’t respond to Song Muyuan’s words. Hearing his voice, Wan Gaoxiong immediately turned his head and howled at Song Muyuan, "What the hell have you done to me?"

"You were just threatening me, and I’ve understood that much. Unfortunately, before I could wake you up, I cut your tendons in your hands and feet. Now you can’t move, hehe, you can’t threaten me."

With these words from Song Muyuan, Wan Gaoxiong finally realized the dangerous predicament he was in. His face underwent crazy changes, gradually turning into a plea for mercy.

"I... I... I’m not like that."

"What do you mean you’re not like that; that’s precisely what you’re like," Song Muyuan shook his head and said.

"No... not like that!"

Wan Gaoxiong cried out, his face twisting with the intermittent pain. He had just woken up and hadn’t felt anything odd about his limbs, but now he was feeling it, and that sensation made the initially mild pain increasingly intense.

"Ah, I know what you want to do, rest assured, I won’t kill you."

Song Muyuan’s face bore a smile, but despite his words, he picked up a laser weapon from the gun rack next to him and aimed it at Wan Gaoxiong. Faced with the cold muzzle, fear appeared on Wan Gaoxiong’s face, and this fear continued to grow.

"No... no... didn’t you say you wouldn’t kill me? What... what are you doing?"

"I’m not doing anything, am I?" Song Muyuan froze and looked bewildered. If not for the laser weapon in his hand aimed at Wan Gaoxiong’s head, it might have sounded like he actually meant it.

After a moment, it was as if Song Muyuan had finally caught on. He looked at the laser weapon in his hand, elongated an "Oh," and then said, "I see what you mean now. Of course, I won’t kill you, but only if you answer some of my questions."

Upon hearing this, Wan Gaoxiong quickly said, "What questions? I’ll tell you anything as long as you don’t kill me."

"Good!" Song Muyuan clapped his hands in appreciation, his face full of admiration. But his expression quickly turned back into one of skepticism.

"Including what you’ve told me, you’re the seventeenth person now. I’m a bit confused. You’re not here to assassinate me, yet you send people here every day to create a fuss. What exactly are you planning?" Song Muyuan moved the muzzle of the laser away slightly, the other hand scratching his head.

"That..." Wan Gaoxiong paused, enduring the pain coming from his limbs as he thought it over, then said, "I’m not that clear on that either. Inside Cloud Gorge Base, I’m not anybody important; I just came over here after receiving an assignment."

"So you mean you have no idea then?" The expression on Song Muyuan’s face turned cold, as the muzzle he had moved away re-aimed at Wan Gaoxiong’s head.

Seeing his reaction, Wan Gaoxiong hurriedly shook his head and urged desperately, "No no no, brother! Brother! Don’t be rash!"

"Hmm?"

"Dad! Dad, ah! I acknowledge you as my father, okay? Ancestor! Is that good enough?"

"What nonsense is this?"

"No, no! I mean, I’m not very clear, but I didn’t say I don’t know! I’m just a small fry in Cloud Gorge Base, skimming a bit off the top. How could someone like us know everything that the people above are thinking?"

"Then speak."

"Yes, yes, yes, oh gosh. The reason why is, I heard it might be because they don’t know what you’re planning since you haven’t really done anything substantial here in Dongsheng Co-management. That’s made the bigwigs in charge uneasy. They suspect you’re plotting something."

"Huh?" Song Muyuan listened and was utterly baffled, his mind filling with prolonged question marks.

"Is that all?" He struggled to understand the reason for such a trivial few words.

"I only know this much. You know, the people who’ve been in that position for a long time like to overthink things. Now, the mayor of Cloud Gorge, Miao Luo, has a ’rather be shattered jade than intact tile’ attitude, and the City of Bright Moon keeps putting pressure on the Hidden Dragon Society. Otherwise, Cloud Gorge Base would have already made a move on you," Wan Gaoxiong explained while carefully observing the expression on Song Muyuan’s face.

The latter mulled over it internally. However, Song Muyuan’s understanding of the world and its various conspiracies was too shallow. He could hardly recognize several Chinese characters, let alone decipher the whole story from the few sentences uttered by Wan Gaoxiong.

Soon, though, Song Muyuan remembered the objective Tang Ye had given him: to destroy, on a large scale, the agricultural planting areas of Cloud Gorge Base when conditions permitted, and the reason they had waited until now was to hit them big.

When would food be most scarce?

Obviously, during the winter. Moreover, winters in the current Apocalypse were much colder than before the Apocalypse. Although Cloud Gorge Base had a sizable agricultural planting area, it couldn’t completely solve the sustenance issues of tens of millions of people. So, every winter, aside from those frozen or chilled to death, the number of survivors who starved was not inconsiderable.

And if the agricultural planting area were heavily damaged in winter, the consequences would be unimaginable. Furthermore, on Xu Haishui’s malicious advice, it wasn’t about just destroying the crops. They were also planning to entirely contaminate Cloud Gorge Base’s agricultural lands, rendering them unplantable!
