I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World -
Chapter 1354 - 1349: Warning
Chapter 1354: Chapter 1349: Warning
Because of the destruction caused by Tu-E, the building where Xu Mengyun was located remained in a state of vibration. After about more than ten seconds, the brief earthquake ended, and this two-story building had successfully withstood the dangers brought by the tremors, enduring stubbornly without collapsing.
The three Level 8 New Human Stronghouses surrounding her were very calm, as if they had been certain from the start that the building would not collapse due to the havoc wrought by the Level 8 zombie from Tu-E.
Once the earthquake passed, Xu Mengyun took a deep breath and asked the person sitting in the swivel chair solemnly, "Who are you, and why did you bring me here?" Although she knew her situation was not optimistic, she still forced herself to remain calm because panicking would be pointless, but... she couldn’t help but clutch the piece of zombie skin in her hand tightly. The zombie skin was not important, she could throw it away at any moment, but what was inside it was what truly mattered!
A pair of legs dressed in black trousers with stripes, casually crossed, suggested they belonged to a man. As Xu Mengyun spoke, those legs pushed against the ground, spinning the chair to face her!
Upon seeing the person sitting in the chair, Xu Mengyun’s pupils contracted sharply. She knew that person!
"Hi? Long time no see."
After seeing the true face of that person, Xu Mengyun could no longer suppress her anger, "Wang Zhixing, it’s you!"
The person on the swivel chair was the philanthropist who had parted ways with her not long ago.
Wang Zhixing!
However, the current Wang Zhixing was completely different from the one she had seen in the past three days. His aura had changed, making Xu Mengyun feel like she was seeing a stranger. If the previous Wang Zhixing exuded an air of scholarly gentleness, carrying a hint of the scent of fresh bamboo and appearing kind and tender, the man before her now was someone who acted decisively and fiercely, a high-ranking figure with a threatening presence.
"Of course it’s me."
Wang Zhixing smiled, then in front of Xu Mengyun, he lifted a hand to his chin and pinched with his index finger and thumb, peeling off a thin, translucent mask with facial hair attached. Holding a tissue in his hand, he dabbed it into the water from a glass on the armrest before wiping his face, erasing drawn-on eyebrows and eyeliner. His true feminine features gradually emerged, and then with a swift motion, he lifted off a wig of short hair, allowing long black hair to cascade down.
This was no longer the male Wang Zhixing; it was clearly Su Sigui!
Xu Mengyun recognized her in an instant—the Mayor of the City of Bright Moon!
She was rendered speechless. Su Sigui’s eyes held a mocking glint, as if she was sneering at something, "Actually, your makeup skills aren’t bad, but in front of an expert, you still have too many flaws."
"Enough. I didn’t bring you here to make idle chatter. As I said, I believed that soon I would be repaid. What’s borrowed must be returned, right? Now, you have two choices. First, hand over what’s wrapped inside that piece of skin. You can take the zombie skin with you, and we will not harm you. Second, I take it by force, but you lose everything."
"You..." Xu Mengyun was furious, but before she could say more, she was interrupted by Su Sigui.
"Ah, don’t rush to decide. Think about the kids at the Shelter. Your death wouldn’t matter, but their fate would be another story."
"You... you’re despicable!"
Xu Mengyun was seething with anger and was about to take action, but as the Level 8 New Human Powerhouse placed their long knife in front of her, it was like a bucket of cold water was dumped over her head, cooling her anger significantly.
She looked at Su Sigui sitting not far away on a swivel chair, under whose beautiful appearance was an undeniable devil. When she had observed Su Sigui looking at the children in the Shelter, she genuinely believed Su Sigui was considering the children’s welfare, wanting to understand their real lives and to prevent himself from merely amusing himself with the children and not truly adopting them out of kindness or because they were made orphans by war.
Actually, Su Sigui’s purpose was just to determine whether he had any emotional attachment to the children, and then use them to threaten her!
This way, even if there were two choices, Su Sigui’s words effectively reduced them to one!
She wouldn’t doubt Su Sigui’s ruthlessness; none of the Level 8 New Humans who had reached this point were of kind stock!
"Don’t take too long to think. I’ll give you just a minute to decide. Once that time passes, I’ll take it as you choosing the second option. Starting the timer now."
So saying, Su Sigui pressed the stopwatch on his mobile phone, and with each passing second ticking away, it seemed like the King of the Underworld’s order hastening death.
Xu Mengyun fell into silence. After a while, she spoke up, "How did you know I have already obtained the Purifier?"
"I wasn’t entirely sure either. But now that it’s confirmed, to be honest, I didn’t expect you to be so bold as to take action already. Don’t worry about how I know. I haven’t been idle in your area. Alright, you have thirty seconds left, what’s your choice?"
"I can’t give it to you; it carries too much, and I owe too many lives for it. So many have sacrificed themselves for its sake; how could I possibly give it to you?"
"Are you talking about those Japanese people? Well, I don’t care how much they’ve sacrificed. I don’t trust easily, and many things, I must grasp for myself."
"No! You have no idea how many people—it’s not just those you know about, but those you don’t, who have paid a great price for this thing!"
"I said I don’t care! You have five seconds left, make your choice! Or else, I won’t want to continue this conversation!"
"I choose the first!"
"Fine, hand it over. Be good." Su Sigui reached out with a smile.
Xu Mengyun didn’t immediately hand over the zombie leather-wrapped Purifier; instead, she sneered, "I can give it to you, but how can you guarantee that the children will not be in danger?" Xu Mengyun would not forget today’s ordeal. Apart from Li Henian’s Level 8 zombie sent to watch her, who knew if other powers already knew about her Shelter?
Su Sigui also laughed, shaking his head, "You needn’t worry about that; no one will do such a thing. We, the people like us, are all the same, doing evil while we hope the world will have more and more good people like you. Killing those children would bring me no benefit, only the burden of infamy."
"You sure?"
"Of course!"
Xu Mengyun struggled for a moment, and under duress, only managed to open the zombie leather scroll. In the center, a small bottle contained an orange liquid, about five milliliters.
She picked up the small bottle carefully and handed it to Su Sigui. Then, with a warning tone, she said, "I hope you’re telling the truth. If anything happens to even one of the children, no matter the cost, I will have you dead!"
