I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1435 - 1430: What was I just thinking about?

Chapter 1435: Chapter 1430: What was I just thinking about?

A staff member, who was scrolling through funny skits on his phone, jokingly said something to a colleague beside him, which triggered a burst of laughter from those around. But suddenly, a piercing shriek pierced everyone’s ears, and the expressions on their faces changed instantly as they rushed towards the source of the sound!

"Not good! Something happened!"

In the cage, a tiger’s desperate cries were cut short as its head was twisted off by a hand, and another tiger that had not yet realized what was happening had a tentacle pierce through its abdomen without a drop of blood spilling. Not far away, in the park area, all the bears had collapsed, their heads twisted to one side, mouths bleeding, staining the mane on their necks.

The tiger with its abdomen pierced by the tentacle tried to struggle, but its strength seemed to be drained in an instant. Its forelegs trembled twice before its body went limp and rapidly shriveled.

"Is this real or fake?" Tang Ye muttered to himself, looking at his hand as the tentacle retracted from the tiger’s body, reverting back into his index finger. By consuming an ordinary tiger, Tang Ye could distinctly feel the vitality replenishing his body, each inch of his flesh celebrating. Although the energy gained wasn’t much, it was still replenishing. This confirmed that consuming the living could replenish him.

Unlike replenishing directly with an Evolution Crystal or Evolution Crystal Core, the sensation of directly devouring a living creature was entirely different. The two simply could not compare, and this was why zombies so desperately craved flesh and blood.

The lower-ranking zombies only knew what tasted good and what didn’t, just like children picking their favorite foods. In contrast, high-level zombies were like adults who understood the concept of nutritional balance.

However, Tang Ye had no time to dwell on this sensation, as a sudden noise nearby grabbed his attention.

"Hey, this is the first time I’ve heard peacocks calling."

Tang Ye, who was planning to clean up and leave, was forced to work overtime as his hand, which had just returned to normal, transformed into five tentacles that stretched out indefinitely towards the calling peacocks.

Perhaps sensing danger, the cries of the peacocks became more shrill as they started fluttering frantically. However, before even a second had passed, those tentacles penetrated the enclosure they were in, and soon, the peacocks’ feathers gradually lost their luster, their eyes devoid of life, turning into a litter of dried corpses!

After quickly destroying the brain structures of the nearby corpses, Tang Ye left the area. It was a good while before the staff arrived, looking at the unnaturally deceased animal bodies in a daze.

"What... what happened?"

The shriveled animal corpses made it feel like the temperature in the air had plummeted. They passed by here countless times every day, and just a few hours ago, or even less than half an hour prior, these tigers, bears, and peacocks were fine. But now, how had they all ended up like this?

Like corpses that had dried up after years of death! The eeriest part was that the fencing of their enclosures was undamaged. Except for some bloodstains in the Bear Zone, all other animals showed no sign of blood!

Nobody dared to approach to see what had happened. After a standoff, someone turned and ran, and the reaction of those around him triggered them to also flee towards the outside. Their instincts told them that there seemed to be something in the zoo, making it unsafe to stay any longer!

Elsewhere, Tang Ye, facing the hotel front desk that was now crowded with people not far in front of him, wondered about something else. Just now, that feeling of having forgotten something had returned, compelling him to wonder if he had something to do?

"This world is not without danger, and that danger comes from the night. But is the night dangerous for me?"

As a Level 9 zombie, although the Tang Ye standing here wasn’t a real Zombie King, he was at least a third of a Zombie King. The night that threatened humans - did he really need to worry so much about it?

But there was one more thing. Tang Ye couldn’t be sure if the Nightmare Zombie King was targeting him specifically.

If it was targeting him, pulling him into this false yet very real world was obviously to kill him. Of course, there was also the possibility that the Nightmare Zombie King simply wanted to control him. However, if He wasn’t foolish, He would not choose to do so, because...

"Hmm? What was I just thinking?" At this moment, that strange feeling hit again, leaving Tang Ye perplexed. However, he didn’t get irritated by it, for in some particular circumstances, these types of unpleasant sensations often heralded good luck. The truly terrifying thing would be if he occasionally forgot he had such feelings during a particular time span!

His train of thought was interrupted, and Tang Ye could only continue to ponder in the same state as before.

In any case, it wasn’t possible that he was just trapped here. If the other party had resorted to such means, it meant they couldn’t kill him, which also meant he had plenty of time to break through this false world and return to real reality.

As for the deeper reasons, they existed! Tang Ye was sure of it! But he couldn’t remember!

There wasn’t much danger during the day, only some oddities, such as when people dealt with some events, their reactions were unreasonable.

It wasn’t to say that there was no danger during the day, but at least Tang Ye hadn’t found it yet. According to the rules here, the opportunity to kill him would most likely come at night.

With this thought, Tang Ye hesitated, and the idea of seeing what would happen after nightfall dissipated a little.

This could be a trap set by the Nightmare Zombie King, waiting for him to step into the darkness. Of course, the trap might not be in the night but elsewhere. Conversely, the night might not only pose no threat to him but could also allow him to step out of this false world, and certain information unintentionally conveyed by those around him served as an indirect warning from the other side.

Fortunately, Tang Ye had time to find the loopholes in this world and wasn’t afraid of wasting a whole night.

With that thought, Tang Ye moved towards the hotel in front, where it was almost four o’clock now, and these street-side hostels and hotels had attracted another peak of customer flow. A constant stream of people flowed in, causing a bit of a crowd at the front desk.

But when it came to squeezing in, no one did it better than Tang Ye. It didn’t take long for Tang Ye to make his way to the front, where the front desk clerk was handing over the room card of the previous guest in a fluster, then looked up at Tang Ye with a smile.

"Sir, what type of room would you like?"

Tang Ye glanced at the room styles displayed next to him and touched the thick wad of cash in his pocket, saying casually, "Deluxe single room."
