I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World -
Chapter 1459 - 1454: Just Normal?
Chapter 1459: Chapter 1454: Just Normal?
Tang Ye searched around but didn’t manage to find his own inserted eye. Of course, he also checked himself, but the mass missing from his body that would have been reduced by the eye insertion didn’t come back, as if it had evaporated into thin air. In Tang Ye’s understanding, even a single cell shedding from his body carries a strong level of pollution, and disposing of it is no easy task. So how could it just disappear?
Of course, it might have been eaten by the Nightmare Zombie King, but that would be even better for Tang Ye—it would be like installing a tracking device he had thrown away onto himself. As long as he was still alive, Tang Ye could sense the location of every piece of his flesh!
"Where could it have gone?"
He subconsciously looked down and scanned his surroundings, and just at that moment, Tang Ye suddenly remembered something and became completely vigilant.
"It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this way; do you want to turn me into a regular person?"
Muttering to himself, Tang Ye touched his head and experienced the sensation of forgetting once again. However, compared to yesterday, this feeling of forgetfulness seemed to become fainter.
"If I was at the zoo yesterday, how did I suddenly end up in the hotel? It doesn’t seem possible that I fainted, and the deaths of those who violated the codified regulations seem to be related to the graffiti..."
Tang Ye recalled that yesterday he had cleaved some strange creature with his blade, and the point of impact was precisely on the shadowy graffiti. What emerged seemed to have many segmented limbs as its attacking organs and lacked facial features, resembling the shape of a person molded out of clay before the features are added. Such monsters, Tang Ye felt, were encountered by him many years ago - it was the appearance of some zombies at Level 3 or Level 4.
Also, Tang Ye thought about how everything in front of him at the zoo yesterday turned black, and not long afterward, he found himself back in the hotel room. That feeling was truly bizarre. A traversal of time and space? He couldn’t figure it out. If he truly was at the zoo yesterday, how did he end up in the hotel after everything turned black?
Could it be that someone moved him? But Tang Ye didn’t believe a Level 9 zombie’s sense of touch could be inferior even to that of a regular person. Maybe he walked back on his own? But what happened in between? There were only two possibilities for yesterday: one is that he followed the regulations and fell asleep after the restricted hours; the other is that he got up and had conversations with both the man in the hotel’s second-floor room and the couple, Lu Xin and Little Ru, who spent the night at the Martyrs’ Cemetery. If the latter were true, then waking up in the hotel room would seem very unreasonable. Conversely, if it was the former, the fact that Little Ru and Lu Xin died for violating the 20th regulation of the codified rules while he, who complied with the regulations, didn’t encounter any trouble? That seems logical.
But the question is, what’s the deal with the man on the second floor of the hotel?
Tang Ye quickly thought, when he went to find the man yesterday, the other person was not asleep but was just pretending with eyes closed. Perhaps, in the end, he couldn’t resist opening his eyes?
Before long, several police cars arrived from a distance, dispersing all the people gathered here, and Tang Ye followed the crowd and left. One of the officers walked to the two corpses, lifted the white sheet to take a quick look, and frowned, seemingly unsatisfied. It was unclear what he said to those in the dark coats, but soon the bodies were lifted into a parked van.
After closing the van’s doors, the officer looked around, evidently failing to discover anything. He then walked in front of the vehicle, gazing toward the west as if searching for something.
"Huh?" Tang Ye also took a look around. The Martyrs’ Cemetery was situated on the outskirts of Xi River city; beyond it was a main road, with scattered Buildings at the roadside, and further afield, some Buildings that had been half-demolished. People mingled there, chatting or smoking, not hurrying to leave. Opposite them were rows of old houses, faintly showing signs of inhabitation. In the alleys, piles of household trash accumulated, with people occasionally walking out to toss cigarette butts or other garbage to the side, causing the refuse to heap up even more. Every once in a while, a gust of wind would blow through, carrying the stench that even across two main roads was detectable!
On the wall at the corner, there was a human-shaped graffiti that seemed to be drawn by playful children with chalk, randomly done. On the second floor of a part of the old house, no windows were opened, but through the glass, one could vaguely see a face peering this way, looking somewhat sneaky.
"Nothing odd her... wait, that graffiti?"
After scanning the area, Tang Ye’s first reaction was that nothing seemed amiss, but the next second, his gaze returned to that shadowy graffiti. Wasn’t this the same human-shaped graffiti he had seen at the zoo last night?
Tang Ye walked over to the shadowy graffiti and touched it, scraping off some chalk dust with his finger. He remembered that he slashed at this thing with a knife yesterday. What did he end up hitting?
"Are the zombies hiding here?"
With a question in his mind, Tang Ye looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him, then he raised his hand and reached for the shadowy graffiti on the wall.
Rip!
Under his strength, he forcefully tore off a piece of the wallpaper, the shadowy graffiti instantly missing a large chunk. However, he didn’t hear anything, no screams like the ones from last night.
Looking at the part of the body in the graffiti on the wallpaper, Tang Ye fell into confusion. After a few seconds, he casually tossed the piece of wallpaper aside, then turned on the nearby faucet, wet his hand with some water to start scrubbing the shadowy graffiti off the wall. Passersby occasionally cast strange glances at him, but they didn’t say anything, assuming he was just a sanitation worker cleaning up the city’s eyesores.
As Tang Ye was halfway through scrubbing, someone ran out of the house and shouted at him: "What are you doing? Don’t waste my water, water costs money, too, you know. Really, you could at least say something before using it."
Seeing someone come out to stop him, Tang Ye just glanced at them but still ceased his actions, looking up at the shadowy graffiti that was now only a hand and a head left. Tang Ye completely ignored the person who tried to stop him and directly turned around to leave.
"Crazy guy, he is!"
The person who tried to stop Tang Ye cursed inwardly and then went back inside the house.
"Just normal graffiti?" Tang Ye couldn’t help but mutter as he came out, taking another look at the shadowy graffiti he had scrubbed. Not looking would have been fine, but upon looking again, Tang Ye was stunned. Perhaps since he started noticing these shadowy graffitis, he realized there were a lot of them. He had only noticed this one in the alley, but on the wall of another old building next to the alley, there was another human-shaped graffiti!
