I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1465 - 1460: Bad Habit of Mistakenly Recognizing Trash

Chapter 1465: Chapter 1460: Bad Habit of Mistakenly Recognizing Trash

"Hmm?" Tang Ye was a bit confused now. Who would willingly come here? Just as he was thinking about this, another question occurred to him. The Apocalypse had only started a few months ago, yet this false world was already here. This was definitely not something that Level 1, 2, 3, or 4 zombies could accomplish!

You see, in the first year of the Apocalypse, the zombies and the new humans were generally around Level 3 or Level 4. Level 5s might exist, but they were rarely seen. A Level 4 at that time would have been a regional menace, but to create such a grand illusion, it was far beyond what any zombie below Level 6 could achieve!

However, those who could become Zombie Kings were generally not simple zombies. Before evolving to Level 9, they were all well-known within the Human Base. Some Zombie Kings started as ordinary zombies and gradually climbed to Level 9, while others were invincible from the start, and the Nightmare Zombie King might be the latter.

"I came here just to help someone find release." The woman said, her gaze dimming.

"Help someone? Who?"

"A very pitiful child. She should still be alive in the real world, and you should know her too, right?"

Tang Ye fell silent. The woman’s words carried a great deal of information. She came here to help a child find release. What child? Based on Tang Ye’s own thinking, this child was not simple. The woman also mentioned that she was still alive in reality and implied that he should recognize her. Did this recognition mean not just him, but everyone?

"The Nightmare Zombie King? That shouldn’t be right, that originated from Lan Ou. How would a Chinese person know about it?" Tang Ye thought to himself.

"Can you tell me exactly who it is?"

"The one who pulled you in here, a very powerful zombie."

"A Zombie King?"

"Uh... I don’t know how you define Zombie King, but before your kind came in here, they all referred to her as their lord."

Tang Ye nodded; he could now confirm that the woman was referring to the Nightmare Zombie King, as in the Demon Sound Zombie Group, those zombies all called the Nightmare Zombie King their lord. Moreover, that being was very hungry. In the beginning, it had already eaten many people, and later as there were fewer and fewer living creatures, it had begun to eat its own kind. The high-level zombies the woman had met before him were probably Demon Sound Zombies.

"So, you haven’t been successful yet?"

"No." The woman nodded, her expression becoming even more downcast.

"The child you want to help release, is it a zombie that used to be a child?"

"Yes, but you can also say no. Do you know what doppelgangers are?"

"Doppelgangers?" Tang Ye was puzzled as he looked into her eyes. The longer he looked, the more he felt he had seen her somewhere. But she had also said that she entered here a few months after the Apocalypse began, where could he have seen her?

"The Zombie King you mentioned actually consists of two individuals, just like between you and me, each with their own consciousness. However, they are united as one. One wants to survive, the other wants to end it all. But one can’t do it alone; external help is needed."

"So the other one is preventing it?"

"Yes."

"By the way, where are you from?"

"Ah? I’m from Province A."

"Where were you when the black rain fell? In Lan Ou?"

"Also in Province A."

"So the child is Chinese too?" Tang Ye continued to inquire, wondering how a Zombie King belonging to Lan Ou found a Chinese person.

In response to his question, the woman shook her head and said, "Not Chinese, Lan Ou European. Have you heard of Diloran?"

"Diloran..." Tang Ye recalled and quickly found some information about this name; it was a survivor’s base in Lan Ou during the early Apocalypse.

"I’ve heard of it."

"After the black rain turned most people into zombies, my father and I went to that survivor base. That child, the Zombie King you mentioned, that’s where I met her."

"Was she a human or a zombie when you met her?"

"A zombie."

"It seems she was a sentient zombie." Tang Ye mused to himself. As for why the woman said the child was pitiful, Tang Ye didn’t want to know; perhaps knowing might compel him to act, but from the moment she became a zombie, any human sympathy had been slowly eroded by the passage of time.

Tang Ye was about to ask more, but the woman spoke before him, "I know, are you about to ask if there’s a way out, right?"

"Pretty much."

"Then I must tell you, if you’re not powerful enough, it’ll be hard to get out. And even if you are very capable, if I don’t find a way out before you forget everything, it’ll all be for naught." The woman lifted the spade onto her shoulder, adjusted her headscarf tightly around her head, then walked past Tang Ye.

Tang Ye turned and followed her, asking, "Then haven’t you tried to find a way out?"

"Of course, I’ve looked. I’ve had countless partners, some human, some zombies. I don’t know how long I’ve been here, maybe hundreds of years. Initially, my partners were all human, but later on, mostly zombies. But whether zombies or humans, in the end, the outcome was the same, nobody lasted long enough to leave here alive."

"You want to leave too? And, hundreds of years? Has it really been that long? Staying here so long, haven’t you gone mad?"

"Yes, don’t think of me as unfaithful to my word. I’m searching for a way out just so those who come in might have a chance to leave. I will help Dairya find release from this world. Besides, as I’ve said, everything is forgotten here, including loneliness and boredom!"

The woman continued walking and speaking, "So, you might not be the last one. The chance of you returning alive to the real world is slim, but as long as you remember your own name, there’s always a chance. However, you did something very dangerous earlier; you’re speeding up your own demise."

"I’m a bit confused."

"Have you read the regulation guidelines?"

"Yes."

"Did you read article ten?"

"Article ten..." Tang Ye thought for a moment; it seemed to be about not littering. That’s what he had been doing?

"I told you not to litter. It’s a bad habit. You don’t listen. I know, unless Dairya personally intervenes, nothing here can stop you. But you should not ignore the regulation guidelines; otherwise, you wouldn’t have come in."
