I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1357 - 1352: Large-Scale Recognition

Chapter 1357: Chapter 1352: Large-Scale Recognition

The man spoke in a very indifferent tone as he dragged a half-meter thick tentacle behind him, connecting all the tentacles that sealed off the entire yard. His tone made it clear he did not regard Xu Mengyun and the children before him as significant, idly toying with a miniature zombie in his palm as if he were teasing each powerless little one present.

Xu Mengyun took a deep breath, now unable to describe the thoughts in her heart. She only felt that today was the unluckiest day of her life, having dealt with Su Sigui, and now a Level 8 zombie needed to be taken care of. And there was only one way to deal with it, which was to dismiss it with a certain item. But she only had one of those items!

"I’m sorry, the purifier has already been taken."

"Taken? By whom? Are you trying to deceive me? It seems that thing is very important, more important than everyone’s lives here." The man continued toying with the zombie in his hand, not even looking up as he said these words. Although he spoke calmly, the children could smell the blood in his words, causing many to cry out in terror.

"If it’s been taken, then it’s been taken. Killing us won’t change that!"

The man said nothing more, seemingly waiting for something. Xu Mengyun’s face twisted in struggle, a myriad of thoughts flashing through her mind. Finally, her gaze hardened.

By giving the purifier to Su Sigui, all the disasters it brought would be transferred to the City of Bright Moon, and they would be completely left out of it. No Level 8 New Human would act foolishly out of anger and kill them all. But the zombies, not killing them now, meant they still saw some value in keeping them alive. As soon as they lost that value, they would be reduced to mere food!

Her gaze swept around, her eyes filled with sorrow.

"I’m sorry, everyone."

She said these words and then charged at the man with all her might. If death was inevitable, she might as well bite off a piece of flesh from the enemy before she died, even just a piece of skin would do!

In her charge, she clenched her fists, her slender arms containing immense power, causing the air to surge violently!

The bricks on the ground shattered inch by inch! The man, facing the woman’s strike towards death, merely raised a hand.

Bang!

Instantly, several adults hurriedly shielded the children with their bodies. Xu Mengyun’s punch collided with Xu Haishui’s palm. The ferocious power entered it as if sinking into the depths of the sea, showing no sign on the other’s body. Yet the residual force from a Level 6 New Human’s blow caused the adults to lose control of their bodies and be lifted into the air before crashing down heavily.

"You’re quite brave, but..."

Xu Haishui praised her briefly before looking up. But as he caught sight of Xu Mengyun’s face, his own expression froze. The expression on Xu Mengyun’s face, too, was particularly priceless.

"How... can it be you?"

"Brother?"

...

The screen on the phone changed continuously with the movement of a finger. The owner of the finger seemed unsure what to do with the phone, occasionally opening some apps developed after the Apocalypse to see what others were encountering and some interesting events. But soon after, he would exit the app, his gaze shifting from the phone screen. Tang Ye picked up a cup of coffee from the table in front of him and took a sip. It had no added flavoring, and the only taste it brought to the mouth was its bitterness.

He merely took a sip and then placed the coffee cup back on the table. His finger swiped across the screen of the phone and finally settled on the calendar. The content seemed like it belonged to a normal person still alive and unchanged, seemingly unaware that it was the era of the Apocalypse, with all the solar terms and holidays still marked.

January 23rd, Spring Festival.

Snowflakes fluttered outside the window. Tang Ye didn’t know when he had become accustomed to the presence of snow. Before the Apocalypse, he had never seen snow and had always envied those who could have snowball fights in winter, even though he didn’t have many friends.

But now, there was snow every year, and it was heavy. Every year, even in the South, it filled the city streets. However, his interest had faded, as if the novelty that should exist had been stripped away.

This winter was warmer than the last, and the snow came later. With the spread of warm light streetlamps, the snow in Cloud Gorge Base could not pile up but melted quickly with the heat emitted by the lights, turning into cold water that flowed into the sewers.

Right, today was Spring Festival, but there was no sign of the festival atmosphere outside. People bustled by as usual, busy with their lives. In their minds, the word "festival" had already been worn down. They neither had the ability nor the time to celebrate, each person constantly struggling with survival. Only some wealthier families would hang red lanterns at their doors, weakly signifying the day, and occasionally some foreign families would follow suit, trying hard to blend in with the locals.

The room was unoccupied, save for Tang Ye alone. The reason he had purchased this single room was because of the neighboring family, a perfect household, with gentle spouses and two lively, healthy children. Such a life is what everyone in the Apocalypse longed for.

Here, it was just him. The room’s furniture was also simple: a table, a sofa, and a bed were all it contained, except that they looked rather luxurious. He played the role of an ordinary man who had come into unexpected wealth, waiting for someone’s arrival.

Children’s laughter and playful shouts sometimes came from next door. The television was on, with the sound of a man getting a drink and drinking it, apparently watching the content on the screen. Tang Ye did not know what was on the TV, but the sound told him it was nothing that would interest children.

"....Xiangying City, Zhuchong City, Yu City, Kaler Tuqing, and other cities including provinces A to D Province have spotted followers of the Lan Ou Corpse King. Among them, Slashers, Soul Reapers, Brutal Butchers, and Killers continue to carry out probing attacks on nearby survivor bases. After deliberation by the Council, it has been agreed to allow the following survivor bases to relocate and rebuild: White Dragon, Lixin, Kirin District 013, Kirin District 042, Kirin District 045...]

"So these Lan Ou zombies really came in, and there are quite a few of them." Hearing the voice from next door, Tang Ye couldn’t help but think that the followers of the Lan Ou Corpse King were definitely not just these few. In some unknown places, who knows how many Level 8 Demon Sound Zombies there might be. The Level 8 Demon Sound Zombie he encountered when he first entered Cloud Gorge Base was a case in point.
