I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1273 - 1268 Not Human

Chapter 1273: Chapter 1268 Not Human

Su Sigui’s gaze was firmly fixed on the man, her muscles tensed up in an instant, her left hand lightly touched the side, her body slightly pressed down, preparing for combat.

The vehicle slowly started moving forward, and outside, the man turned around; his gaze met Su Sigui’s as they crossed paths. Perhaps finding her attractive, Kerting said something both infuriating and amusing, "Wow, this sister is so beautiful!"

As soon as he said this, the people accompanying Su Sigui couldn’t stand it. The driver, Yan Xing, directly shouted, "Shameless! How old are you even, still acting cute here!"

"Got your brain eaten by a zombie, huh?"

"This guy..."

Scratching his face, Kerting didn’t experience any other incidents. Perhaps feeling embarrassed by these people, he took a tree branch, leaned it on the ground, and quickly walked backward. Only the old man’s expression grew more helpless, but that man named Kerting didn’t dwell on this incident for long and soon started moving ahead merrily, completely unaware that just then, a woman had deemed him a dangerous existence!

The two sitting in the back spat in Kerting’s direction, showing their disdain.

As the man walked farther away, seeing that nothing else occurred, Su Sigui also relaxed her combat stance. She watched his retreating figure, frowning tightly. Indeed, his age seemed to be multiple times her own, but if judged by his birth year, he was actually younger than her by at least twenty years!

Thinking this, Su Sigui’s state was clear to those around her that something was off.

Xu Tianyu leaned towards Su Sigui and asked with puzzlement, "Sister... what happened just now?"

Su Sigui glanced at him, then at the old man. The latter’s expression remained unaffected, as if he had long been acquainted with the man named Kerting, and his lack of surprise at the latter’s strangeness seemed usual.

As Xu Tianyu posed his question, others also noticed Su Sigui’s state. The old man merely gave Su Sigui a quick glance, his eyes barely concealing his bewilderment. He had no idea what was wrong with Su Sigui and neither did he wish to ask, perhaps considering it someone else’s private matter.

Su Sigui glanced around, shook her head, and realized these folks hadn’t observed that man named Kerting closely, and even she had reacted only in that spur of the moment, probably due to arriving in a seemingly safe environment and lowering their guard—the Royal Court was not entirely a human-owned city.

She took out a tablet beside her seat, turned it on, and decisively opened the note app, puzzling Xu Tianyu who watched her operate.

What was she doing?

However, he soon saw Su Sigui start typing quickly, and one hanzi character after another appeared, forming a phrase:

"The man just now, is a zombie."

At that moment, Xu Tianyu’s face froze as he looked at Su Sigui, then down at the content displayed on the tablet. They hadn’t brought any anti-life substance detectors, but from the apocalypse until now, they all had become capable of determining a zombie’s level just by using their eyes.

There was no longer any need to carry an anti-life substance detector, but the man named Kerting clearly didn’t display any zombie traits; how could he possibly be a zombie?

After rechecking, he finally understood Su Sigui was not joking.

"This... how is that possible?" he whispered.

"You’ve overlooked the most basic trait of zombies. Did you feel any ’new human’ blood energy from that man just now? I didn’t even notice it myself, which was careless," Su Sigui replied quietly, ensuring that the old man in the passenger seat couldn’t hear them. As others heard their conversation, they all turned their gazes, each with a confused expression.

Xu Tianyu thought for a moment and realized it was indeed the case. The so-called blood energy on that man Kerting was almost nonexistent, even less than an ordinary person, which was extremely abnormal, and they hadn’t noticed it merely because the man looked and behaved like a normal human.

Apart from the old man, everyone else in the vehicle couldn’t help but be shocked. Among the six people in the car, although Su Sigui appeared young, she was the most experienced and astute! What she said was mostly true.

"So... Mayor, how did you figure it out?"

"I also only realized it when he spoke," Su Sigui responded with narrowed eyes.

"His mouth?"

"Yes, some high-level zombies can disguise themselves as humans. The more skilled ones can even emulate the blood energy of new humans. However, there’s one thing they can’t change, which is their tongue. Due to evolutionary reasons, even when disguised as humans, zombies’ tongues are longer than normal people’s. As you know, zombies’ tongues are always involved during their evolutionary process, progressing to evolve into a petal-like state. Disguised zombies have slits in their tongues, and if you look closely, you can see them. But these are common features of many zombies. Some zombies are more adept at disguising, and you wouldn’t be able to tell at all."

"However, I hope you wouldn’t encounter such zombies; their appearance signifies the Zombie King. That Kerting just now was likely a level 7 zombie, still at the intellect of a child and somewhat playful, but he meant no harm."

"I see."

All four nodded, feeling a bit scared, realizing that a Level 7 zombie had just been in front of them, and they hadn’t been able to identify it!

The old man on the passenger seat occasionally turned to look at them, with a sound of puzzlement in his eyes. The few people in the back murmured, not sure what they were discussing; he was curious, but he wasn’t the type to meddle in others’ affairs, otherwise, he wouldn’t have survived in this apocalypse for over a decade.

The vehicle continued along the ruts in the road towards the front. Possibly learning from earlier events, the strong ones in the car began to take heed of those walking by, and the woman who had scolded Kerting was also observed among them. Surprisingly, like Tagu, she was just an ordinary person; an ordinary person scolding a zombie capable of disguising as a human made them realize the complexity of the Royal Court.

The car traveled at a steady pace, arriving at the Royal Court before nightfall. According to Tagu, the city on top of the giant rock was called the Inner City, while the Outer City was beneath the giant rock, more than ten times the size of the Inner City.

The vehicle drove onto a highway, and the passengers could see the massive city, with the giant rock notably prominent in the center.
