Chapter 1430: Chapter 1425: Prosperous Times Are Not Necessarily Good for Oneself

The current Tang Ye can hardly describe what state he is in.

It’s like you, dreaming feels one way, but being awake feels another. In reality, you are one person, dreaming of a different life in your dreams, everything feels so real, only to wake up and realize, oh, it was all just a dream?

Two different physical sensations, but the reality in the dream makes you doubt even in the "real" world, then ask yourself, is this reality actually the dream?

However, this thought is just fleeting, after all, no one would take it too seriously.

Unlike them, Tang Ye knows he might indeed be dreaming, but the realness of his surroundings brings strong confusion.

"Khan..." Dakota, not far from him, saw Tang Ye with furrowed brows thinking about something and couldn’t help but ask.

When Tang Ye heard someone calling him, he looked up at Dakota. He didn’t speak, but just stared into Dakota’s eyes, with Dakota looking back puzzled, not knowing what state Tang Ye was in.

Tang Ye himself didn’t speak either. After looking for a while, he remembered the message Su Sigui had previously sent him. She must have sensed something, sending such a message to all those of Level 6 and above, just to prevent any unexpected events that might harm the Cloud Gorge Base, as the Cloud Gorge Base couldn’t withstand any setbacks now.

Then, he turned and quickly headed toward the exit of Cloud Gorge Base, moving so swiftly it was like teleporting. The members of the Royal Court behind him saw Tang Ye suddenly disappear and couldn’t help shouting, "Khan, where are you going?"

Hearing their voices, Tang Ye grimaced again. It was too real; he could even see each person’s facial expression, so impeccably real, which made him start to doubt if he had been affected.

The feeling of having forgotten something washed over him like tides, one wave after another, greatly annoying Tang Ye.

"Damn it, don’t let me catch you!"

Soon, Tang Ye had already flown beyond the tall anti-zombie walls enclosing the entire Cloud Gorge Base. But at that moment, he noticed that no one else was leaving Cloud Gorge Base like him. When he had just moved, his entourage was confused, not knowing what he was doing. Normally, seeing him leave, they should have quickly associated it with Su Sigui’s message and followed him, but they didn’t.

"It seems there are some loopholes."

Considering this, Tang Ye suddenly stopped mid-air and plummeted toward the ground, then turned to look at Cloud Gorge Base. But the next second, his eyes widened in disbelief!

"This..."

In the direction he was facing, the vast Cloud Gorge Base had vanished without a trace! Not even a shadow of the anti-zombie wall, which was over fifty meters high, could be seen. In its place was a broad river with a few scattered farmhouses by the bank, and further away, Tang Ye could only see the silhouette of a small town.

He knew that town; it was Lixi County, which was the predecessor of Cloud Gorge Base before the Apocalypse!

Above him was the clear blue sky, white clouds, and the air lacked a familiar scent, becoming unusually clean. His mind was much clearer—what was missing was the faint smell of rotting flesh. This era was a peaceful golden age, yet to be tainted by antimatter substances!

A farmhouse door opened in the distance, and some children ran out, followed by a woman carrying a basin of clothes. Next to him, a group of children in old clothes passed him by, with the oldest being around eleven or twelve and the youngest perhaps under four, wearing split pants and toddling behind their older siblings.

Some of the older children, their clothes wet, were carrying plastic bags with a few small fish and crabs inside, and one hand held a long-tongued popsicle, licking it deliciously. Sometimes, a crab would poke out of the bag with its leg, only to be caught by the younger children who would play with it in their hands, the naughtier ones scaring the girls nearby with crab pincers.

They spoke the most local dialect, making Tang Ye feel like he had returned to before the Apocalypse, and with a character very close to top level going back to before the Apocalypse. However, it wasn’t real, and this realism made it hard for him to confirm.

"Li Nale, hurry up, or you won’t have anything to eat."

An older child told a few slower kids, quickening their pace, while some middle-aged children picked up their younger siblings and followed. But as they passed by Tang Ye, they all glanced at him.

Tang Ye heard them say something.

"Why is Uncle Wuda appearing here? There was clearly no one here just now."

"The clothes he’s wearing are so nice. I want to buy one when I grow up."

"My dad told me they’re called suits. I’ve seen many people wearing them in town."

"..."

Watching these children walk past, the scent of living flesh emanating from them, all he could say was, "Incredible!"

If just anyone were standing here, they would unhesitatingly believe that they had returned to before the Apocalypse. But the memories in his mind and the earth-shattering power he held couldn’t lie!

He watched the children moving further away from him. Maybe noticing Tang Ye’s gaze remained on them, a few older children said something to the younger ones and then seriously started running, the younger kids at the back glancing back at Tang Ye, realizing his gaze was still on them, and hurried their pace.

Only when they had completely disappeared from Tang Ye’s sight did he shift his gaze and look at the sky. The golden sun hanging in the sky was more dazzling than any moment during the Apocalypse, giving him a bit of warmth.

If possible, he wished he had truly returned to before the Apocalypse, but all of this was false, even if it were real, he was sorry, a Level 9 zombie, even just half a Level 9, to maintain mobility would need to consume a lot, and the food could only be the Evolution Crystals and living beings, but just living beings, whether humans or other animals, wouldn’t be enough for him!

The Apocalypse not starting was a great joy for humanity, but for Tang Ye, it wasn’t necessarily a good thing. To maintain his abilities, he needed a zombie utopia, which could only appear during the Apocalypse. Tang Ye couldn’t assure how noble his morals were; he might for his own sake, then personally initiate the journey of the Apocalypse.
