I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1320 - 1315: The Small Fry

Chapter 1320: Chapter 1315: The Small Fry

Back then, like many others, Su Sigui was criticizing Ning Tianlang for his cruelty and ruthlessness, not understanding why he was doing so. After all, such a ruthless Level 9 New Human was indeed a cause for sleepless nights!

However, people only thought this to themselves and dared not express it outwardly because Ning Tianlang, who had evolved to Level 9, was on the same level as the Zombie King that made everyone tremble in fear. If he wished, destroying the entire Cloud Gorge Base would not be difficult!

Despite the people scolding Ning Tianlang for his cruel and bloody deeds, this was also why he would later be known as the greatest being.

And Su Sigui, should she succeed in taking that step and become a Level 9 New Human, would unhesitatingly believe that she too would bloodily cleanse the four major families. Of course, due to the existence of Ye Changgong, only the Ye family would be spared from this calamity.

The reason for doing so was simple. After evolving to Level 9, Ning Tianlang’s transformation was believed not to be as simple as shifting from human to a deity; it was a sublimation of his entire paradigm!

The power of Level 9 allowed Ning Tianlang to move beyond petty struggles for personal gain with other forces. The power of Level 9 made him into a will-like existence within Cloud Gorge Base—everything he wanted, he could have. It was merely a matter of whether he desired it or not.

In such a situation, his vision had expanded beyond himself to all of humanity, recognizing the zombies outside of humanity and the Zombie Kings within them that threatened human civilization!

At that time, Ning Tianlang must have seen this and taken up the responsibility, starting to consider the future of human civilization, even going so far as to invest huge amounts of manpower and resources to reform the defensive walls of Cloud Gorge Base with Level 12 H steel!

He initiated major reforms, cleared away the numerous chaotic forces within Cloud Gorge Base, unified all powers into one, and expedited the development of all humanity, making humans stronger to prepare for all future eventualities!

In doing so, Ning Tianlang didn’t bother with the infighting within human society. Though such matters were not difficult for him, they were tedious and slowed his progress. So, he chose the simplest method: cleansing all forces within Cloud Gorge Base.

Although this resulted in the deaths of many Level 8 New Humans, their Evolution Crystal Cores enabled many others to evolve into new Level 8 New Humans, who then became devoted followers of Ning Tianlang!

A permanent solution!

For Ning Tianlang who had evolved to Level 9, some troubles could be dismissed with a wave of his hand, but he was not willing to waste even a second on them because they were not worth his time!

He was considering the future of all humanity. Compared to humanity as a whole, the interests of those dogshit families and various forces meant nothing!

Therefore, when he cleansed the four major families and all their retainers, he spared not a single person, not even an infant!

This was the expanded worldview Ning Tianlang gained after evolving to Level 9!

Whoever it was that shed the mortal coil and their earthly attachments, their thoughts changed accordingly. The previous Su Sigui didn’t understand Ning Tianlang. Her admiration was only for his power which was unparalleled, but as she began to worry about the future of all humanity, her admiration for Ning Tianlang transformed from superficial to a respect that came from deep within her heart!

Because, after herself evolving into a Level 9 New Human, she too would clear all troubles, following in Ning Tianlang’s footsteps to put an end to the four major families with over three thousand years of history!

Of course, people were already aware of threats from outside—those Zombie Kings that made human survival precarious. Some had long realized that humans should stop endlessly waging wars for their own gains, but here’s the thing: the emergence of New Humans had made human society extremely imbalanced. With too many Level 8 New Human Powerhouses, unless a Level 9 emerged, Level 8 would be the strongest. Although all Level 8 and above New Human Stronghouses of Cloud Gorge Base were officially members of the Dragon’s Den or the Tribunal, every Level 8 New Human had their own forces serving them.

In such circumstances, each Level 8 Powerhouse had their interests; forcing a unified decision meant some would benefit while others would suffer, and how could those who would suffer willingly let this happen?

Once a Level 9 arose, these differing opinions could be completely ignored. Disagree? Fine, then die!

Below Level 8, there were many Level 7s awaiting their promotion. If you refuse the role just below the highest, there are plenty of others in line for it. Thus, under the threat of Level 9 Powerhouses, the role of Level 8 New Humans became replaceable.

No one wanted to lose such a position; dissent could only be swallowed.

However, ironically, because of indirect factors in her rebirth, Ning Tianlang’s death allowed Ye Changgong and the four major families to survive until now. And of these families, three would, for their own interests, wish nothing but to ravage the City of Bright Moon to bits, making the situation worse than in her previous life.

"It won’t be long before I take control of all of Ye family’s affairs..." Ye Changgong glanced at Li Henian and the crowd of Level 8 zombies and Level 8 New Humans behind him, then continued, "With young master Li here, the two major powers won’t dare to move against you for a short while, but it won’t be long. You need to act quickly, I will help buy you some time."

"Thank you, I have a sense of proportion for the matters that follow. However, Cloud Gorge Base might become chaotic in the coming times, an unavoidable circumstance, as too safe an environment poses too great a hindrance for me."

"No problem, I will do my best to buy you time." Ye Changgong shook his head nonchalantly, considering the death of a few people in Cloud Gorge Base to be insignificant compared to all of humanity.

Although it went against moral conventions and was undeniably criminal to deprive others of life wantonly, it was better to determine the fate of humanity by oneself than to be manipulated by others.

"By the way, elder, you should be aware of the research institute behind Cloud Gorge Base, right?"

"I know a bit. That institute has long since changed hands. Initially, the order seemed to be supervised by a district director in Huachen Jiangtian, who died a long time ago. His name was Ning something Tianlang."

Ye Changgong appeared thoughtful, as if trying to recall that name. Seeing this, Su Sigui imperceptibly shook her head. In this lifetime, Ning Tianlang had died too early, becoming a minor character for Ye Changgong—once the only Level 9 New Human of all humanity...
