I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1319 - 1314: Emotions

Chapter 1319: Chapter 1314: Emotions

Hiding at the very back of the crowd, Ye Zhong’s face alternated between shades of green and pale. After a moment of thought, he still emerged from among the people and made his way to the front.

Ye Changgong’s mutated face stared at him for a while before suddenly shouting fiercely, "Now that you see me, is there anything else you want to say?"

Ye Zhong also looked at Ye Changgong, his face turning red as he shook his head from side to side, then amidst the watchful eyes of the crowd, he suddenly dropped to his knees.

Ye Changgong stood up from the ground, approached Ye Zhong, shook his head, and exhibited a face full of disappointment, "From the moment you were born, I have been teaching you, to respect your elders, not to bully the weak, not to fear authority, and not to bow to it. How many years has it been? Everything I’ve taught you, you’ve forgotten all about it!"

"I’m an old man who’s lived for so long, yet you’re the first to lock me away. I would never have believed I’d fall to such a state. Ye Zhong, you truly are my good grandson! You never learned the good stuff, but you picked up all these bad tricks, one after another!"

Ye Changgong’s expression became colder and colder, and as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stretched out his hand and delivered a heavy slap, the tremendous force instantly flipping Ye Zhong’s body into the air, sending him flying sideways and crashing heavily into a wall!

Ye Zhong did not resist or dodge. After sliding down the wall, he knelt down again, maintaining his previous posture, and cried out, "I’m sorry, it’s all my fault!"

Ye Changgong shook his head, his eyes complex, and that slap he had just delivered was not with the intention to kill. After all, no matter what, Ye Zhong was still his grandson. In the months that he had just been locked away, he contemplated more than once about killing Ye Zhong, purging the Ye family, and for this, he did not hesitate to consume a lot of Evolution Crystals, evolving himself into a Level 8 New Human, just to regain control of the Ye family and to assist Su Sigui.

But when it came down to it, he couldn’t bring himself to do it. Although Ye Zhong had imprisoned him, an act of gross disobedience, his foresight was limited; he had the Ye family in his heart and prioritized its rise and fall, which led him to this deed.

But in the final analysis, it was all for the Ye family!

"Now that you realize your mistake, what should you do?" Ye Changgong asked Ye Zhong.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhong’s expression turned fierce, and he promptly replied, "I surrender all my responsibilities in the Ye family, starting from today. Grandfather, you are in charge of the Ye family."

"Good. I have one more condition. From today on, you are no longer a member of the Ye family; you have no relation to the Ye family at all."

Ye Zhong’s body shook as if struck by lightning, his complexion turning extremely pale in an instant. He stared blankly at Ye Changgong but ultimately couldn’t say anything, only nodding his head and struggling to say a single word, "Yes..."

"Get out! Get out of the Ye family!" Ye Changgong said mercilessly.

Ye Zhong stood up, shell-shocked, took one last glance at Ye Changgong, sighed, and walked towards the door, but he didn’t leave. He had one last thing he needed to know, and he couldn’t possibly leave at this moment.

Under everyone’s gaze, Ye Zhong left the cell. He saw Ye Liuyi, who looked at him with concern. Ye Zhong just shook his head at her, but unexpectedly, the girl dashed into the cell, breaking through the crowd to appear before Ye Changgong. Despite Ye Changgong’s mutated face looking quite terrifying, she still pleaded:

"Great Grandfather, Grandfather didn’t do it on purpose. Please... please give him another chance."

Ye Changgong’s face turned even more complex, but in the end, he shook his head, "It’s the consequences of his own actions; he can’t blame anyone. That’s it, now go out."

Ye Changgong lost the kindness he once had. His expression was only of indifference. Ye Liuyi, biting her lip hard, glanced at Su Sigui, but the other’s gaze didn’t fall on her. It was a matter within the Ye family, but with so many powerful beings surrounding them, most of whom were Level 8 zombies in disguise as humans, the thought alone made her shiver; she didn’t know what to say and could only leave the room.

This matter had come to its conclusion. Ye Changgong’s gaze turned to Su Sigui, and his previously stern face now showed a smile, "Young lady, from now on, the Ye family stands completely on your side."

Su Sigui just smiled and said, "Old Master, you’ve already done enough. There’s no need to take such big risks."

"Sigh, don’t say that. I can still distinguish between the Ye family and all of humanity. I’m not senile."

As he spoke these words, Ye Changgong glanced at Li Henian and then at the large group of Level 8 zombies behind him who looked like normal humans.

But Tang Ye seemed to know what Ye Changgong was thinking and spoke directly, "Don’t look at me. I came to Cloud Gorge Base just to see the world’s largest Sanctuary City and to casually help this little girl. There is nothing here that attracts me. I’m not interested in this place, and I won’t stay here for too long."

"Hmm?"

Ye Changgong was taken aback, somewhat not understanding the situation. He had indeed been thinking this way. With the southern hegemon bringing so many Level 8 zombies and a group of Level 8 New Humans, occupying half of Cloud Gorge Base was a sure thing. And with Su Sigui’s relationship with Li Henian, the support helped the two superpowers to be cautious and not to act as arrogantly as before. This would allow Su Sigui to achieve her goals more smoothly.

But Li Henian’s attitude was incomprehensible to him. How could he say he was not interested in Cloud Gorge Base, the world’s largest Human Sanctuary City?

Su Sigui shook her head, her face showing no worry as she calmly said to Ye Changgong, "It’s alright, I’m confident."

"Well, if you say so." Ye Changgong was somewhat disappointed, and he had no way to influence Li Henian’s thoughts.

Su Sigui looked at Ye Changgong’s white hair and couldn’t help but feel emotional. In the previous life, this old man was not supposed to have lived until now. According to the original timeline, Ye Changgong would have died five months after the southern hegemon’s disappearance, alongside the Ye family.

Because at that time, Ning Tianlang evolved into a Level 9 New Human, and with a strength nearly like a natural disaster, he swept across Cloud Gorge Base! And within half a month of Ning Tianlang becoming a Level 9 New Human, the Hidden Dragon Council of the Judgement Association, the four major families were cleansed in blood!

Numerous strong beings changed their allegiance, worshipping at Ning Tianlang’s feet, acting upon his will. At that time, Ning Tianlang’s ruthlessness was no less than that of Li Henian. With the four major families being slaughtered, even the Nangong Family’s newborn, not more than three months old, was not spared. Not a single person with the surnames Dongfang, Nangong, Zhang, or Ye survived!

His ruthlessness was shocking. At that time, the number of Level 8 New Humans in Cloud Gorge Base had dwindled to less than one-twentieth!
