I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1349 - 1344 Wang Zhixing

Chapter 1349: Chapter 1344 Wang Zhixing

No matter what you get, there is a price to be paid—there’s no such thing as a free lunch might be the only truth. Everything requires something else in exchange.

And in order to get the purifier from Lin Jie’s hands, the only chip she had for trading was a person, a person’s life!

It was probably the most guilt-ridden thing she’d done in her life, tantamount to sacrificing a living person so that others could survive!

It was as if she had personally killed an innocent person!

Perhaps others would feel that this was justifiable, nothing to make a fuss about, trading one person’s life for the survival of all others was the most correct choice. But what if that person to be sacrificed was your relative?

What if that person was your father? Your mother? Your caring brother or sister? Your obedient younger brother or sister? Your flesh and blood, the closest of kin?

Would you give up your own family for the benefit of all humankind?

No one has the right to decide another’s choices; such is undeniably a sin!

Yet, on the other hand, to give up all of humanity’s chance of survival due to human morals is something utterly foolish!

She was not foolish, nor would she abandon reason for people’s laughable morals. Rationality dictated she must choose the most correct action, to sacrifice an innocent person, regardless of how hard and tragic that person’s life had been, she could not afford a shred of sympathy. For that person, Xu Mengyun could only silently say "I’m sorry" inside. Beyond that, there was nothing she could offer as compensation.

Children ran past her, and not far away was another group of children watching her expectantly, their eyes filled with hope. This scene brought Xu Mengyun back to her senses.

Maybe it was time she kept the promise she had made to the children.

Her phone suddenly vibrated. Upon checking, it was a message from Kimura Arata:

"Just now, those were Li Henian’s men, under whom are not only Level 8 New Humans but also Level 8 zombies. I don’t know what else might be watching you, but you must be careful."

"Li Henian?"

Xu Mengyun muttered the name, which made her think of Xiang Shan’s words. Three years ago, there were rumors that Li Henian had the Zombie King backing him and could command zombies. The Peace Party’s purpose was even to establish peace between humans and zombies.

Now, she couldn’t help but suspect that among the Level 8 Powerhouses who entered with Li Henian, an inconspicuous person might be the Zombie King!

"What exactly is Li Henian up to?"

She felt a sudden shock. She had no doubt that somewhere, a Level 8 zombie was watching her, just uncertain if it had noticed Xiang Shan.

She looked at the message from Kimura Arata on her phone for a good while and couldn’t help but wryly smile: "I don’t know what the point of frequently doing these things is?"

After complaining, she headed toward a small gate with a feeling that she had wasted something and said to the children, "Wait here for a bit, okay? Sister will be right back with some treats."

Following the children’s unanimous "Okay," Xu Mengyun opened the small door and walked out with a smile. She hadn’t gone far down the alley when she suddenly stopped, as if struck by a thought.

"Going out often..."

Muttering to herself, her eyes suddenly lit up as if she had thought of a good idea. She continued forward, but her step was lighter than before, seemingly without a care that someone might be watching her.

"Out again?"

Tu-E, who had been hiding in the shadows, scratched his head, puzzled by her behavior.

"Going to meet Lin Jie so soon?"

He spat out a few insect-sized bugs from his mouth and followed Xu Mengyun, ready to inform Tang Ye at any moment.

When Xu Mengyun arrived at a deserted dead end, she suddenly let down her tied-up hair and swept it up to the top of her head before putting on a baseball cap. Pressing her long hair down at the top, the hair that had been draped over her shoulders transformed into bangs in an instant. If one didn’t remove the baseball cap, they wouldn’t hesitate to mistake her for an attractive young man.

"F*ck, that’s clever!"

Tu-E couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, and then he saw Xu Mengyun walking out in broad strides, her gait not at all like that of a young girl.

Tu-E followed her from Summer A7 District to Xia A11 District, crossing two Administrative Areas, and she only reached her destination after entering a bustling area. Throughout her journey, she was unhurried, like a traveler wandering through the world.

He watched her enter a trading district and instinctively thought Lin Jie might be inside. He spat out more insects to follow her in, but to his disappointment, Xu Mengyun was not there to find Lin Jie. She merely bought some food, mostly sweets, and seemed to have spent a good amount of Yajin.

"F*ck!"

Tu-E couldn’t help but curse, following her aimlessly back to Summer A7 District. Strangely, along the way, Xu Mengyun would suddenly enter a building, several times making Tu-E think her "actual" goal was Lin Jie.

Swearing under his breath, he followed until she entered the courtyard behind the Fashion Street building. Just as he was about to relax, Tu-E suddenly noticed an extra living presence in the yard, and a car had appeared in front of the gate.

"Huh? Another person?"

He did not go in but paused with curiosity while Xu Mengyun entered the courtyard to find a very unfamiliar man.

The man was crouched down, surrounded by many boxes filled with things children adore. He carefully took items out and distributed them evenly to every child, their faces lit up with excitement as they received candy and toys.

"Who are you?"

Long Yingjia, Sugiyama Ryoko, Uncle Li, and others had doubtful expressions but did not show much emotion, feigning a smile of relief.

Hearing Xu Mengyun’s approach, the man looked up at her and politely presented a business card: "Hello, my name is Wang Zhixing; you might not know me, but you should recognize my father, Wang Changsheng."

"Ah? You’re Wang Changsheng’s eldest son?"

"Yes."

Xu Mengyun of course knew Wang Changsheng, a prominent figure at Cloud Gorge Base and a Level 7 New Human; most people knew of this person. His son might not have been closely followed by her, but she knew he had established some charity organization without knowing exactly what he usually did. Both his organization and Wang Zhixing himself were shrouded in mystery, seldom seen in public. Still, many significant events were somehow connected to Wang Zhixing.
