I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1406 - 1401: Gentlemen, keep it up!

Chapter 1406: Chapter 1401: Gentlemen, keep it up!

The youth glanced in the direction the person was pointing and cocked his head, saying, "I just came over, isn’t this a bit inappropriate of you?"

"This is a transaction, and if you’re unwilling to make the deal but still linger here, I will immediately drive you out."

"You’re very impolite."

"Impolite? Perhaps only monsters like you would care about that."

"Then would your Zombie King be so polite?"

"Guess if he’d take your Evolution Crystal to breed a Zombie King loyal to himself?"

"So that’s what his kindred is like, how boring."

"But you are just like him."

"Am I? I don’t think so."

"This deal, will you discuss it or not? I don’t want to waste more time on you; I don’t have the patience."

"I made the effort to come here, now I have to go back, and even further away..."

"It’s your neighbor, am I more familiar with it than you are?"

"I think you might be misunderstanding something, I’ve never had any contact with it, and besides, I don’t think it’s a nice fellow."

"So, what you’re saying is, you’re not willing to accept this business deal?"

"Oh no, I certainly don’t want to wait for my food sources to join forces with those in the sea before I act, don’t misunderstand me, what I mean is you need to come with me personally."

"What’s in the sea?"

"Well, I shouldn’t have said so much, but since you asked, let me tell you, in the sea, my kin are not as glorious as we are on land. You see, even the pitiful Mr. Octopus has started to come ashore."

"From what I understand, the situation in the sea is not much different from the mainland, and moreover..."

"No, no, no, this isn’t just simple competition between food and predators, but a more complex situation, like lions and tigers, where the failing party will be expelled."

"Enough, I don’t want to talk about this, when do we leave?"

"I’m a man of action, we can leave right now."

"Then let’s go."

"Oh no, I think if we are really going to look for that fellow, we’ll need some equipment."

"Equipment?"

"Like mirrors or something..."

...

Somewhere in the Cloud Gorge Base, a severed finger was set upon a table. Tang Ye opened the vial in his hand, containing an orange liquid, and dropped a single drop onto it. This liquid was something Gert and his team found in the research institute; at first, they did not know what it was, but Blanche nearly lost his life to it, so it started to be taken seriously.

Tang Ye didn’t know what this liquid was. It would slowly lose its effect when exposed to the air, and the liquid he held was the last of it, which could only be stored in a container made from special materials.

After the liquid was dropped onto the severed finger, it quickly swelled and formed blisters, its flesh seeming to lose adhesion, as the anti-life substances within rapidly decomposed. Soon, things resembling Taishui flooded the entire table, but it wasn’t over yet. The "Taishui" slowly began to cover more of the room’s area, after a long while finally stopping, forming an ocean that submerged Tang Ye’s calves!

He reached out to scrape away the "Taishui" piled on the table, revealing a finger bone missing a segment of its joint.

"It seems like a Level 9 is a bit harder to decompose." Tang Ye marveled as he looked at the "Taishui" all over the floor. He hadn’t expected such a large amount of substance to be decomposed from just a small part of his finger. If there were more, his entire finger could fill the room. He thought of Blanche’s half-dissolved body, which had nearly filled the originally cramped space. He did not know how much liquid Blanche had come into contact with, but its power was not to be underestimated.

"Could it be a purifying agent?" Tang Ye frowned and poured all of the remaining liquid from the glass bottle into an ashtray, allowing it to slowly lose effect in the air.

In fact, he had previously ridiculed the selfishness of those in higher positions, but when it came to him, he suddenly understood their thinking. Indeed, one does not rush into panic unless their own interests are threatened.

Even Tang Ye was no exception.

However, he had no intention of sacrificing himself for others; it was better that such things didn’t emerge...

Thinking thus, Tang Ye shook his head, self-deprecatingly, and looked into the distance. Some days ago, an unfamiliar sense had swept from the west towards him, but suddenly retracted when it was about to reach his senses, and thereafter, it didn’t directly interact with his senses, yet Tang Ye still felt it.

Standing by the window, he was uncertain if a new Level 9 Zombie King had been born or if another continent’s Zombie King had arrived here. He couldn’t be sure, as that strange sense was fleeting, as if only affirming something. The possibility of the former was extremely small because a transmigrator had said there were only six Zombie Kings on the entire continent, and it had been verified.

Of course, it could also not exclude the possibility that the butterfly effect had inadvertently changed an insignificant zombie, giving it the chance to ascend to a Zombie King.

At this moment, the door opened, and the person who entered, after seeing the room flooded with a thick layer of pale yellow transparent "Taishui," first paused, then seemed to realize something and said to Tang Ye, "Khan, all have been found, there’s no more of that liquid below."

"Is that so, first seal off the entrance for a while, and let others search for any other entrances or exits. For now, don’t let anyone in, just let those things completely lose their effect."

"Understood, what do we do next?"

Tang Ye was silent for a moment, gazing out the window. Across from him stood a building as tall as the Shuming Building. On the side facing Tang Ye, there was a huge screen.

As it suddenly lit up from a blank state, an impassioned voice rang out.

"Just recently, Star Sanctuary City of the Western China Region fell to a sudden zombie surge on the twenty-first, and the royal zombie horde from Lan Ou is persistently advancing eastward. Please, all shelter bases likely in their path, prepare accordingly!"

"Under this sky, none of us are an island; we will stand united, advancing and retreating together. We believe that a better tomorrow awaits us. All gloom shall dissipate, revealing an unblemished blue sky. As long as we live, hope will surely come, and miracles will happen!"

"Gentlemen, keep fighting!"

The magnetic male voice uttered each word with a soaring tone, accompanied by a somewhat desolate background music, brightening the eyes of many, while others continued to numbly go about their lives. Windows of the neighboring buildings were opened one by one, with heads poking out to gaze upon the screen on the tall building. People walking on the ground also looked up at that image, and remained silent for a long time.
