I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World

Chapter 1426: Chapter 1421: The Feeling of Forgetting Something

Not long after Su Sigui left, Tang Ye also shut down his phone and left, heading to his temporary residence here at Cloud Gorge Base. Naturally, this was also the temporary dwelling arranged by the City of Bright Moon for members of the Royal Court, housed within offices that had been converted into living spaces. However, Tang Ye had no intention to establish himself at Cloud Gorge Base. He and the hordes of zombies and new humans that accompanied him here came solely to fight, which is why everyone here seemed so idle.

Ah Fu had disappeared, likely indulging in a life of luxury and sprawling leisure at some high-class bar. Tang Ye couldn’t be bothered with him anymore, but to his surprise, Xu Haishui was nowhere to be found. The suite assigned to him was empty, with only a pile of Evolution Crystals stacked in a corner. This was a rare occurrence, but after giving it some thought, Tang Ye realized that he hadn’t seen Xu Haishui much in recent days. When he had seen him yesterday, Xu appeared to be preparing a large amount of Yajin and food that normal people could eat, but where all of it had gone was a mystery.

Passing by the stairwell entrance, Tang Ye noticed Jiema pulling together a couple of people for a card game. Perhaps because he was winning too much, his face was adorned with a smile, while the other two had faces full of irritation; Li Man simply threw his cards aside and started scrolling through funny skits on his phone.

["Large research facility underground at the Nutrient Processing Factory exposed to public! According to whistleblowers, the sudden rampage of the sky’s red-feathered birds may have a direct connection! What’s the relationship between the recent major earthquake and everything that happened at the research facility? The surviving members of the research facility have all disappeared recently, indicating a massive conspiracy brewing! Stay tuned as I take you through a detailed analysis of these events."]

[A gentle reminder: The content below is the sole speculation of the video author, please do not take it seriously.]

"Hmm?" Hearing the content coming from Li Man’s phone, Tang Ye was momentarily stunned.

"All the survivors have disappeared?"

Previously, he had arranged for a few lucky ones—who were still alive—rescued from the research facility to be interrogated, but as their levels were too low, they knew little of the facility’s affairs. He had soon let them go free, and now, these people had vanished into thin air?

Their disappearance could only mean they had been kidnapped, and the only reason for their abduction must be the hidden manipulator wanting to learn about matters related to the research facility. But who would do such a thing?

At Cloud Gorge Base, even the Level 8 new humans, no matter how low their status compared to others, were still Level 8 New Humans. As the highest combat power of the Cloud Gorge Base, they undoubtedly had the absolute right to know, and the power to enter the subterranean research facility to find out the truth. Whatever remained there would let them guess something, and the surviving members of the research facility, while knowing some details, those details would be of little importance to the Level 8 new humans. If they really wanted to know, it would only be a matter of hundreds of Yajin—so it seemed far from necessary to go through the trouble of kidnapping them to achieve this goal, right?

These thoughts flashed through Tang Ye’s mind, and he didn’t understand why he was even pondering these things. However, since a moment ago, he felt like he had forgotten something, and there was a subtle unease in his heart.

As for why he felt uneasy, and why he found it strange to feel uneasy, Tang Ye racked his brains but couldn’t figure it out.

"What’s going on?" Tang Ye frowned and then took a glance to the north. How should he describe this feeling? It was like a high-level player going to lower levels to farm easy kills, easily dominating all opponents, only to encounter someone of their own level—who then required serious effort.

That was the kind of feeling making Tang Ye involuntarily think about gathering all his strength, grasping the power of a Level 9 Zombie King at its peak. But then everything seemed to become boring.

Moreover, where was this feeling coming from?

Various thoughts passed through his mind, but he pushed them all down one by one before heading towards the elevator entrance. Yet after a few steps, his brow furrowed again.

"Did I just forget to do something?"

He questioned himself, reviewing his every move. Everything appeared to be normal and nothing amiss to warrant his attention. But the strange thing was, just as the thought of forgetting something flashed by, the feeling returned!

He kept trying to remember, only to feel as if his train of thought was blocked, constantly forgetting the next move he intended to make. This was something he wasn’t used to, and the less accustomed he felt, the stranger it seemed.

"Could it be...?"

Tang Ye glanced at his hands and seemed to think of something, revealing a self-deprecating smile. In the end, he stopped trying to figure out what he had forgotten, pressed the elevator button, and the doors opened in front of him in the next moment.

Pressing the button for the topmost floor, the elevator slowly ascended. Soon after, the doors opened again, revealing the "8F" floor sign in his view.

The vivid colors in the air flowed within his visual field. With the wind passing, he could see the shadows of the breeze as the windows at the end of the corridor shook under its caress, making "swishing" sounds against the window glass.

He saw a row of murals to the left of the corridor, each an oil painting. Although Tang Ye wasn’t well-versed in such artistic endeavors, even an outsider like him could tell that each mural exhibited excellent craftsmanship beyond the abilities of mediocre artists.

And because of these paintings, Tang Ye walked on the right side of the corridor, admiring them. Some depicted a voluptuous foreign woman with blonde hair cloaked in translucent fabric, leaving half her body exposed; others showed a decaying fruit in an ashtray, with ash lying beneath the fruit, beautifully detailed; another showcased a man dressed in horse riding apparel, sitting on a sofa, staring at the sky in a forty-five-degree angle, seeming lost in thought; yet another depicted water gushing from a pot spout into a glass, the clarity of the water column so vivid one could see the wall texture distorting behind it.

Tang Ye appreciated these artworks on the wall, but his brow occasionally furrowed, each time he finished looking at a painting, the feeling that he had forgotten something suddenly resurfaced.

The corridor wasn’t very long, and soon he arrived at his own resting suite. Tang Ye unlocked the door and was about to enter when his peripheral vision suddenly caught something around the corner.

"Have I not looked over there before?"

Tang Ye pondered and frowned slightly. Was that feeling coming back again?

How many times had he gone in and out of this door, but he had never been around the corner and didn’t know what was there.

Thus, Tang Ye walked over, and in that instant, the strange feeling assaulted him once more—as if he had forgotten something yet again.
