I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1231 - 1226: Disguised Prey

Chapter 1231: Chapter 1226: Disguised Prey

In any case, the mysterious figure’s strength was like that of a Level 8 Powerhouse and yet not quite, even less so when considering a Level 7.

The chatter from the residents watching the fight was making Ah Fu quite irritable. Just as he was about to disperse the crowd, he suddenly heard someone shout, "The Marshal is here!"

Following that, there was an overwhelming chorus of cheers!

"Marshal!"

"Marshal!"

Ah Fu turned around and saw a dark shadow appearing in the distant sky, growing larger—it was the figure of Tang Ye. His body hovered in midair, like a deity descending from the ninth heaven, instilling an extreme sense of worship in everyone present who gazed upon him.

Seeing Ah Fu, Tang Ye descended from the sky.

"Boss." Ah Fu felt a sense of relief upon seeing Tang Ye.

"Where is he? I was checking the inventory just now; it’s a bit far from here so I couldn’t make it over in time."

"He’s already gone. That little bastard ran too fast," Ah Fu said with clear dissatisfaction in his voice, the feeling causing him irritation.

"He’s already gone? Which way did he go?"

Tang Ye asked this and Ah Fu pointed in a certain direction, "That way."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Ye released his perception towards that direction but detected nothing—a complete void of any strong presence.

That guy must have some ability to shield himself from my perception or otherwise I would have tracked him by now.

It only took four or five seconds for Tang Ye to withdraw his perception.

"Nothing," Tang Ye said with a frown.

Ah Fu scratched his head but the next second, as if he had thought of something, his eyes lit up, "Boss, his target is the Level 6 New Humans here. How about we lure him out with one person? It was Li Xiaoyan who encountered him just now, and I came to the rescue."

"Because of Li Xiaoyan?"

Tang Ye’s eyes flashed—a gleam of realization. Li Xiaoyan was a Level 6 New Human, and so were Ruan Chao’en and Huang Quanjiu. Including the recent unexplained disappearances, they were all Level 6 Powerhouses. The target of that person was becoming quite clear.

He nodded, actually appreciating Ah Fu’s method. Using a Level 6 New Human to lure the guy out seemed like a good idea. However, Tang Ye quickly came up with a better approach and his eyes sparkled in anticipation.

"Boss, should I notify Little Wu to get ready, and start tomorrow?" Ah Fu asked, excitement evident on his face, obviously very pleased with his own baiting strategy.

"Hmm, but there’s no need for him to be the bait. Notify everyone to stay indoors these next few days."

"But then..." Ah Fu was momentarily puzzled, not catching on, but he soon realized what Tang Ye intended to do.

"Boss, are you planning to handle it yourself?"

"Hmm." Tang Ye nodded.

Without saying much else, it seemed better to let Tang Ye take the lead. Under his direction, a group of Peace Party powerhouses began to head back to the Central United District.

After their departure, in a distant room, the mysterious person watched their figures growing further away.

"Leaving, are they? There will soon be a grand spectacle. Not long now, really not long, hehehahaha!"

His voice echoed chillingly in the empty room, sending shivers down the spine.

Over the next few days, not a single Peace Party powerhouse appeared outside in the entire United District; only some insignificant characters did.

At Yu Hangwu’s residence, everything had already been prepared.

"Little Wu, just stay in here for the next few days. Don’t step out until we take care of that guy, then you’ll be free."

"It’s a crucial matter for the Peace Party; I understand, Vice Chairman. You can count on me."

"Good, that’s settled." Xu Haishui nodded, pressed a button nearby, and after entering a string of passwords, a seemingly seamless wall suddenly cracked open. As the gap widened, the wall split in two, revealing a staircase inside.

"I’ll go in then," said Yu Hangwu.

"Alright, go ahead." Xu Haishui nodded, watching Yu Hangwu walk in until he disappeared around the corner of the staircase below. Then he closed the wall, leaving behind what looked like an inconspicuous white wall.

Xu Haishui exited Yu Hangwu’s residence with a few Peace Party soldiers and left the area.

Soon, he returned to the Peace Party Building with several people and went straight into Tang Ye’s place.

"Chairman, Yu Hangwu has been arranged."

"Hmm." Tang Ye was staring out at the street of the Central United District and merely nodded without saying much. After a while, he asked Xu Haishui, "Old Xu, who do you think that person could be?"

Xu Haishui pondered before replying, "It could be an enforcer from Cloud Gorge Base, or maybe Lin Jie..." His voice trailed off. In truth, he found it hard to believe himself. Xu Haishui had also been influenced by Tang Ye. This wasn’t an ordinary zombie but a silver-armored undead!

If someone was infected by the anti-life material from a silver-armored undead, even New Humans would be assimilated into a silver-armored undead!

Since the apocalypse, no human being had ever managed to remain unharmed after being infected with the zombie virus. After all, such cases were proof of extraordinary luck but also marked one with a curse. Should such a person emerge, what awaited them wasn’t great fortune following great disaster but an endless pursuit!

Tang Ye seemed to detect the hesitation in Xu Haishui’s tone and just smiled, waving his hand, "Don’t doubt it. If it turns out to be him, so be it. I just don’t know what his situation is now, to have survived—it’s really a miracle."

"But is it really him?"

"I don’t know, but we’ll find out soon enough." Tang Ye’s eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of danger flickering deep within his pupils.

"Alright, I should head out."

"Okay." Xu Haishui nodded, pausing for a moment before speaking again, "Chairman, do you want a few people to follow you?"

"No need. If the guy is too strong, having you guys there won’t make a difference."

"Alright then." Xu Haishui nodded, watching Tang Ye leave.

He stepped into the elevator, neither too fast nor too slow. With a "ding" as the doors closed, Tang Ye’s appearance and form completely vanished from Xu Haishui’s gaze as the elevator quickly descended. It reached the ground floor swiftly, the elevator doors opened, and the person who emerged before everyone was no longer Tang Ye, but Yu Hangwu!

"Brother Wu!" The soldiers below shouted upon seeing him.

"Yu Hangwu" simply nodded slightly and then walked straight out, greeting the soldiers along the way with a cheerful demeanor, indistinguishable from the real Yu Hangwu.

And the soldiers didn’t sense anything amiss.
