I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 144 - 142: Robbery Plan_1

Chapter 144: Chapter 142: Robbery Plan_1

Chen Chaoyang squatted in a corner and began to strenuously analyze Tang Ye’s thought process.

Though his situation seemed grim, Tang Ye had just saved his life. Normally, after having rescued someone, one wouldn’t immediately seek to harm them!

All he could do now was pray that Tang Ye would act sensibly. If not, he, Chen Chaoyang, would be bidding the world goodbye.

Looking at his surroundings, he knew he needed to clear things up with Tang Ye ASAP, admitting his mistakes could lead to a lighter punishment!

This matter couldn’t be delayed. Even if he tried to run, where could he go? Going outside meant death, seeking protection in here also meant death. He didn’t believe that the crowd of newly evolved soldiers in Yindan Base could withstand the attack of a Level 3 zombie!

Moreover, they were inside the base. Even if a Level 3 zombie could be killed, it would require heavy weaponry which doesn’t have the same mobility as an individual!

If he ended up at odds with Tang Ye, his life would perpetually be at risk. Tang Ye could assassinate him at any moment! Unless he returned to Qinshan Base, but returning there wasn’t a possibility at this point. What about Li Xiaoyan, if he were to leave?

Would Tang Ye vent his anger on him?

Though he was a coward he was not the type to disregard his friends, let alone Li Xiaoyan who could be considered family.

Having made up his mind, Chen Chaoyang tossed aside the packing bag and headed towards Tang Ye’s direction, preparing all the emotional persuasions in his heart. Though they felt contrived, for the sake of his life, such inconveniences were trivial.

If he could hold onto his life, all would be well!

After aimlessly wandering for a few hours, Chen Chaoyang cautiously entered through the door and saw Li Xiaoyan in the center of the room, happily practicing military boxing with a delighted expression.

Upon seeing Chen Chaoyang’s arrival, Li Xiaoyan quickly stopped and said, "Young Master Yang, you’re here. Do you have any news? Look, starting today, I’m also part of the newly evolved..."

Li Xiaoyan said excitedly but was interrupted by Tang Ye who came out with his hands behind his back.

"Boss!" As Li Xiaoyan shouted, Chen Chaoyang unexpectedly kneeled down.

"Young Master Yang...what are you doing?"

Watching Chen Chaoyang’s actions, Tang Ye frowned, wondering what he was doing.

"What are you doing?"

"Boss, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I’m so sorry...remembering how you saved my life at the cost of an Evolution Crystal Core, it makes me feel so sad..."

"Shut up! What’s going on? Stand up and tell me!"

At Tang Ye’s words, Chen Chaoyang glanced around, carefully stood up and didn’t dare to meet Tang Ye’s eyes. He wasn’t sure if Tang Ye was the villainous type who from movies that would kill his men without a thought. However, at Honglin High School Campus earlier, the way Tang Ye ordered the zombie to kill more than thirty people just with a thought proved that he was no saint!

He could lose his life at any moment. Chen Chaoyang wasn’t ready to die!

"I... that... well... huh? What was I going to say?"

Chen Chaoyang began to speak, but his mind suddenly went blank. The well-prepared speech in his heart was forgetten, and instead, he wore a confused face as he looked at Li Xiaoyan.

"Young Master Yang... just tell the boss what’s going on!"

He waved his hand, clueless about Chen Chaoyang’s intentions.

"Oh, right. Boss, I want to tell you that Ning Yu’er may... not be in Yindan Base... I... I..."

As he spoke, Chen Chaoyang once again kneeled down and yelled, "Boss, I’m so sorry!"

After hearing his words, Tang Ye’s heart was filled with rage. His gaze towards Chen Chaoyang was filled with coldness, but it quickly disappeared.

This series of actions from Chen Chaoyang left him speechless. What a big fuss over a small matter. But this small matter did make Tang Ye feel a sense of loss.

"She’s not in Yindan Base... then where could she be?"

The hope in his heart was doused with a bucket of cold water. The feeling of disappointment was unspoken but palpable. It was like when he was a junior high school student and fell in love with a pretty girl who was in sixth grade at first sight.

Even though he knew he couldn’t be connected with her in any way, he couldn’t help but fantasize in his heart. Upon finding out which school she attended, he was overjoyed for an entire day.

In the end, when he skipped school early to catch a glimpse of the girl he was enamored with, he didn’t see her.

The feeling was unbearable. As the time spent as a zombie increased, Tang Ye realized his character was becoming more unemotional and impatient. Most things seemed irksome to him.

The only thing that interested him was checking in on that "little sister," or indulging in a zombie’s favorite pastimes: killing and eating people!

"Alright, stand up."

Upon hearing this, Chen Chaoyang rejoiced and quickly stood up, raising his hand to slap Li Xiaoyan.

"What are you hitting me for?"

"I want to see if I’m dreaming."

"What the hell!"

Watching them both, there was a flash of envy in Tang Ye’s eyes. But after a cough, he said, "Chen Chaoyang, don’t worry about what I’ll do to you. Start packing up. We should..."

He stopped speaking midway and thought, "It’s been hard to come to a human base once, wouldn’t it be a waste to leave so soon?"

Before the apocalypse, no matter how honest and ordinary Tang Ye was, after becoming a zombie, he somehow became more cunning. As he had arrived at Yindan Base, how could he not take advantage of them a little?

Before leaving, he would rob them. The greatest way to amass wealth was by hustling. Chen Chaoyang had casually pulled out so many Evolution Crystals earlier. But was that all the supply from the Qinshan Base? If not, how many Evolution Crystals would be stored in Yindan Base?

His eyes were filled with greed, and he began to fantasize about a mountain of Evolution Crystals in a corner of this base!

Then, he would pocket all these Evolution Crystals and become even stronger!

"Boss, Ning Yu’er may not be in Yindan Base. It’s just a possibility. There’s also the chance that she still could be here, we just don’t know where. This is what my dad told me. We had never known about her dad Ning Tianlang, he never disclosed anything earlier."

"Huh?" Tang Ye hummed lightly with a puzzled look, prompting Chen Chaoyang to start explaining...

About half an hour later, Li Xiaoyan and Yan Jie returned to the courtyard. Tang Ye stood at the front, ready to execute his plan of stealing Evolution Crystals.

"Li Xiaoyan, you stay and continue to search for Ning Yu’er’s whereabouts. If you get any news, don’t startle her, just let me know. If she’s not in Yindan Base, then forget about it."

"As for you two, Chen Chaoyang, first integrate yourselves into Yan Zhaofeng’s group, then find out where they store the Evolution Crystals."
