I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1291 - 1286: Advance! Cloud Gorge Base!

Chapter 1291: Chapter 1286: Advance! Cloud Gorge Base!

Tang Ye fell silent for a few seconds, pondering whether or not to agree to the request. At last, he looked at Su Sigui, whose strong appearance concealed a soul as fragile as tofu. Despite the enormous pressure akin to a mountain, this soul seemed to endure and continue moving forward with difficulty.

He nodded, speaking gravely, "Speak, there may be some wrong done to you in this, but if it truly is just a simple request, no matter what happens, I will help you complete it."

Upon hearing Tang Ye’s words, a smile appeared on Su Sigui’s face directed toward Tang Ye, though there was a hint of sadness in the smile in Tang Ye’s eyes.

In the quiet environment, Su Sigui slowly spoke, uttering that exceedingly simple request.

"If you wish to hide, I won’t blame you, and no one else has the right to either. My request is, when you choose to hide, when humanity faces disaster, you can choose not to help, to watch indifferently, but please do not make things more difficult for them. That is my request."

"Disaster? Making things more difficult?"

Tang Ye’s mood suddenly became somber; he looked at Su Sigui, seemingly seeing something very indistinct. And he did not understand what it was, perhaps only Su Sigui, the transmigrator, knew.

He guessed something, but was not sure.

He could only nod, agreeing to the request, which was just as Su Sigui had described, merely a thought at a certain period, really very simple.

She said nothing more, turned around, and walked toward the palace exit. She did not know what Tang Ye would do in the future; if he really agreed, only time would tell, and that future was not far off. If he merely feigned agreement and had no intention to follow through, Su Sigui had no recourse. Everything, in the end, was up to so-called fate. She could not decide these things, not even preserving her own life.

Moreover, the most ridiculous part was the hope of hiding in this city mixed with zombies and humans—how laughable.

She had thought there would be much to discuss upon seeing each other, but in the end, there were only a few brief words and mutual silence, like old friends of many years separated by time into an insurmountable divide.

As she left, Tang Ye did not try to detain her; he sat on the sofa, watching Su Sigui as she stepped toward the grand portals, then got swallowed step by step by the light outside, her clear, thin silhouette dimming bit by bit.

Tang Ye remained silent for a long time, and without his word, the various powerhouses who had gone out did not dare to enter, creating a silence so profound until the silhouette in Tang Ye’s eyes completely vanished; then, he murmured, "What exactly are you afraid of?"

He sat on the sofa, pondering the things that frightened Su Sigui, what he himself might do in the future, when all life in the palace seemed to vanish at that moment, except for the wall clock above ticking "tick tock tick," representing time slipping slowly away—not quickly nor fully grasped, like slipping sand.

The once lively Long Sky Banquet quietly gave in to the silence around Tang Ye, who was oblivious until the sun dipped below the horizon and the bright moonlight bathed the palace for a long time, before Tang Ye slowly came back to his senses.

His eyes as profound as endless abysses, carrying a certain resolve, he slowly stood from the sofa. His hand caressed a huge dragon head next to him, and the enormous dragon entwined around the grand hall seemed to be influenced by him, beginning to awaken, its gigantic body starting to wriggle.

His gaze was directed toward the grand door where Su Sigui had disappeared, then a sentence, sounding like the muttering of a mad person, came from Tang Ye’s mouth.

"No matter what it is, I need to explore it myself. Perhaps I shouldn’t hide, I should stop something!"

During his mutter, it seemed like chains were breaking, slowly reassembling at an extremely slow pace.

And the dragon beside him moved faster and faster, its gigantic body coiling around a huge pillar, a pair of dragon eyes watching Tang Ye, apparently awaiting his command.

"Come in, everyone."

At Tang Ye’s call, groups of people entered from the doorway, each one a powerful being of Level 8!

They formed four neat rows before Tang Ye.

Among these people, some were not quite human, some had the strange appearances of new humanoid species, some were zombie controllers, some were pure humans, with features of Russians, Prairie Mongolian people, Chinese people, and Lan Ou European people.

"Did Su Sigui and her group leave?"

Not far away, Xu Haishui stepped forward, nodding, "Boss, they’ve already left."

"How did they leave?"

"They abandoned the car they came in and bought an aircraft from Chau at one o’clock in the afternoon and then left."

Tang Ye nodded, his gaze sweeping over everyone, then he called out some names.

"Saio, Yan Jie, Bennis, Huang Quanjiu, Bai Huipeng, Ha Zhen, Gert, Hu Ji, Du Lifu, Chen Yue, Yi Huangcheng, Dakota, Hong Heixin, Kano Jie, Dong Wenlu, Song Muyuan, Horst, An Bo, Blanche, Chang Jinlun..."

Continuing to read a long list of names, ending with "and also Ah Fu and Xu Haishui," each person whose name was called stepped forward, totaling more than a hundred in the end.

"Other than these, the rest will stay here and manage some matters. I will also be here. As for those whose names I’ve called out, tomorrow morning, head to the Cloud Gorge Base where there’s another person."

The Level 8 Powerhouses whose names were read showed excitement. Other than when Heavenly Khan had first rooted here and there were daily battles, life had been very peaceful since. Many people had started to grow weary after so long. Moreover, it was exhilarating that almost half of the Near-Heaven Level powerhouses were mobilized at once, a first-time occurrence.

They harbored various thoughts, with the majority believing that their own Heavenly Khan was about to expand his territory and begin advancing toward Sanctuary City, the greatest refuge for humans. This thought excited them even more.

And those whose names were not called felt a sinking in their hearts, especially those who were zombies turned human. They looked enviously at those whose names were called, as going to the Cloud Gorge Base meant there would be battle, and with battle came bloodshed. Zombies, like wolves, became exceedingly excited once they smelled blood.

However, their luck was very bad, but they dared not say anything. Here, that man was the absolute ruler!

He was the only one who surpassed Level 8.

"That’s about it. Hurry and get ready." After dropping this remark, Tang Ye left the place. The scene began to buzz, and a boy who appeared to be only twelve years old confirmed that Tang Ye had really left before muttering, "I wonder if Song Muyuan, that fool, will still believe. Never mind, he definitely will believe me, he’s such a fool! Hehehe."
