I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1289 - 1284: Clearing the Field

Chapter 1289: Chapter 1284: Clearing the Field

Su Sigui merely smiled at the words, her gaze quickly shifting away from Ah Fu, even as his eyes remained fixed on her. Clearly, Ah Fu had recognized her identity as well.

Aside from him, Su Sigui also spotted several high-ranking members of the Peace Party, including Bai Huipeng, Huang Quanjiu, Xu Haishui, and the stunningly beautiful Gong Xiao, who was idly twirling a whip in her hand, leaning nonchalantly against a pillar like a celestial being.

After Ah Fu, her attention landed on a man walking in front of him, a face that had changed somewhat but was still familiar!

The once-overlord of South China, Li Henian!

Now, there were no more overlords of North China, West China or East China. That era had become history. After Li Henian’s United District was suddenly decimated, the remaining overlord of East China, Qin Zedong of the Dawn Safety Zone, suffered heavy losses due to a massive surge of zombies. Having no choice but to relocate, he began to develop at Cloud Gorge Base.

If this had been three years ago, Qin Zedong’s power would have been enough to make him an unparalleled powerhouse. But as time passed, more and more Level 8 powerhouses were stuck at that level, unable to take even a step towards the threshold of Level 9. Meanwhile, the Level 7 and Level 6 powerhouses slowly caught up, becoming Level 8 powerhouses themselves. Qin Zedong was no longer as unique as before and had no choice but to submit to either the Hidden Dragon Society or the Judgement Hall, any one of the superpowers.

The overlord of North China, Yu Hen, also mysteriously disappeared a month after Li Henian vanished. His power structure in Red Light City was almost entirely wiped out overnight, their whereabouts unknown, leaving behind only some insignificant members or underlings, who were promptly eradicated by other emerging forces.

As for Yang Xiangfeng, the remaining overlord of West China, he quickly became low-key, focusing on managing his own Dangerous Sanctuary City, seemingly content to live well within his own small patch of land.

In her previous life, she, like everyone else, thought that the overlord of South China, Li Henian, had been buried along with his United District. Little did anyone know, the man hadn’t died. He was in the mysterious Northern Empire, utterly off the grid, showing no interest in the world outside, until the Zombie King from the Lan Ou Continent began entering the Chinese Continent, and the related Chinese Zombie King emerged.

"No wonder, so it’s you who didn’t die, for the Zombie King to continue existing." Now, Su Sigui was even more certain that the White-haired Zombie King was a puppet controlled by Li Henian!

But if that was the case, why did the Zombie King launch an attack on Cloud Gorge Base? If the Zombie King truly was a puppet of Li Henian, then all its actions should follow its master’s wishes.

Perhaps there were things she was unaware of; she must find out the real reason why the Zombie King attacked Cloud Gorge Base. If she didn’t, her second chance at life in this post-apocalyptic world would be in vain!

Tang Ye naturally made his way to the sofa next to the dragon head statue and sat down, looking toward Su Sigui. He had seen her even before she entered the room. After three years, he had completely adapted to his new vision, which, combined with the new abilities he gained from evolving to Level 9, made him almost godlike. Anyway, the definition of a god wasn’t clear, but at least to those of Level 8 or below, his powers could certainly be deemed divine.

As he lifted his head, his gaze collided with Su Sigui’s, and for a moment, those around seemed to sense something. The previously noisy crowd fell silent in an instant, the atmosphere eerily quiet.

Only the ticking of the clock above Tang Ye’s head could be heard, its second hand moving "tick tick tick."

After a few seconds, someone jogged over to Tang Ye, whispering a few words to him— it was Ha Zhen. Following Ha Zhen’s report, Tang Ye nodded at Su Sigui, though it was unclear whom specifically he was acknowledging. Once Ha Zhen finished relaying his information and glanced at Su Sigui, he departed as swiftly as he had arrived.

Soon, with a simple raise of his hand and nonchalantly speaking a few words, "All of you may leave now," the people in the palace began to exit rapidly at Tang Ye’s command. Within moments, only Su Sigui and Xu Tianyu, who had accompanied her, remained.

"Yu Jianghui, take everyone out as well," Su Sigui said, and the man standing near Yao Gong nodded, leading the way out.

Now, in the vast palace, only Su Sigui and Tang Ye were left.

He rose from the sofa and began pacing back and forth on the platform, occasionally glancing at Su Sigui, then ahead of him, and said, "I thought you would come back to find me, but I didn’t expect it to be so soon—although it doesn’t seem early either. It must be that I wasn’t prepared for how abruptly all this has happened."

After speaking, Tang Ye’s eyes returned to gaze at Su Sigui. The person not far from him was a remarkably enigmatic individual, a transmigrator, which made the world feel unreal, almost dreamlike. In short, it was somewhat unbelievable. She had once declared she would become the overlord of South China, and over time, he had indeed come to be known as such—her prophecy fulfilled. She also said she would eventually die, yet it seemed he hadn’t died yet.

Tang Ye was wary of the woman named Su Sigui. Everything she had said was proving to be true or false, but he had no idea what she wanted to do. If she was indeed a transmigrator, as she claimed!

Then she would certainly know what would happen in the future, and amid these yet-unfolded events, whatever she was planning, whatever advantages she sought to gain, and his own role in it all were complete mysteries to him. This was her advantage, a fearsome one.

Tang Ye looked at Su Sigui for a long time without speaking. She met his gaze without averting her eyes, without fear, and he did not underestimate her, despite her being a Level 8 New Human. For three years, he had been trying to help Ah Fu, Xu Haishui, and several Level 8 zombies evolve to Level 9, but there seemed to be an insurmountable barrier preventing everyone from advancing past Level 8.

Initially, he didn’t understand why, no matter how much Evolution Crystal Ah Fu and Xu Haishui consumed. He even turned the deepest space of the hive into a large-scale farm, hoping that the Evolution Crystals of Level 8 zombies would enable Ah Fu and Xu Haishui to evolve to Level 9. However, the result was that most Level 8 zombies were killed by the overwhelming energy contained in the countless Evolution Crystals, leaving only a few survivors who gained nothing but a slight increase in power.

After discovering this failed attempt to forcibly push Level 8 zombies to Level 9, Tang Ye fell into a silent contemplation for a while but quickly thought of a term!
