I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1512 - 1507: The Meaning of 9:10

Chapter 1512: Chapter 1507: The Meaning of 9:10

The No.2 wanderer shook his head at Tang Ye, then raised his hand and pointed to his wrist with his index finger, indicating he didn’t have a watch and didn’t know the time. He then pointed at the sky outside, clearly meaning that it had already entered the night, with only a dark golden line in the western sky, suggesting that even a guess wouldn’t be far off.

But Tang Ye was not asking what time it was now, he wanted to know the year. The fact that the man didn’t recognize the smartphone made him suspect that the world he was in was not the 21st century.

He quickly shook his head at the wanderer, indicating that he was not asking about the current time, but about the year and month. However, he also knew how to express himself in English, and this feeling was truly frustrating!

The man looked at Tang Ye, who was shaking his head and pondering, and frowned as well, but soon he seemed to understand what Tang Ye might be asking and blurted out a few numbers. However, these numbers were in English and spoken quickly, so Tang Ye didn’t fully understand them.

The man helplessly shook his head, drew on the ground with a steel pipe until he had drawn a line of numbers, then stood up, pointed his finger at the numbers on the ground, and looked at Tang Ye as if to ask, "Is this what you meant?"

Tang Ye saw the numbers the man wrote: [1983.3]

He nodded, signaling to the other person that this was indeed the answer he was asking for. However, while it resolved Tang Ye’s confusion, the man himself became perplexed. He couldn’t understand why Tang Ye was asking for the year and just stared blankly at him, as if trying to find out the purpose of this question.

Yet Tang Ye had no intention of explaining; instead, he asked another word: "Days? What day is it in Days?"

Tang Ye’s English level did not support him to articulate a complete sentence, so he could only express himself using Chinese interspersed with English. As to whether the other person could understand, that depended on his comprehension.

Fortunately, the man was not dull and quickly understood. He shook his head at Tang Ye, indicating he was not sure of the exact date, but knew it was March.

This was not very important to Tang Ye; looking at the year and month on the ground, he kept silent, not knowing what to think. The fact that it was the year 1983 gave him an absurd feeling. He had always assumed he was in the 21st century, but seeing 1983, he doubted the man had fully understood him. Perhaps [1983.3] wasn’t the current year but this guy’s birth year.

But that seemed unlikely. Who would respond to continuous questions about the time by revealing their birthdate? Normal people don’t think that way.

So, it was likely the correct time. But if that was the case, considering the information Lu Xiaojie had given him, Dairya was a zombie, born in a post apocalyptic world, one of the root causes of the apocalypse. Yet the apocalypse was still decades away in 1983. Besides, Dairya was just a child; by 1983, even her mother might have been a little child.

But if the year 1983 had nothing to do with Dairya, why did she bring him to this era? Could it really be related to her mother?

Shaking his head, Tang Ye felt it was too early to think this way. It was better to wait until he had more clues before speculating about the truth. He glanced at the No.2 wanderer, who was also focusing on him—no, to be precise, his attention was actually on the smartphone in Tang Ye’s hands. He seemed very curious about this cross-era high-tech product.

Seeing Tang Ye look over, he quickly said, "I’m very sorry, I can’t help you much."

Although these words were in English, Tang Ye understood one word and realized the man was apologizing for not being able to help much.

"No worries."

Tang Ye waved his hand at the man, signaling that it didn’t matter. He had intended to ask what happened here and if it was anything strange as he suspected, but after the exchange of the previous few questions, he had given up.

Just as Tang Ye was about to put away his phone and leave, he suddenly recalled something, looking up at the outside sky. It was already dark—a critical point.

From No.2 wanderer’s earlier behavior, it was hard for them to know what time of day it was. In a fake world created by Dairya, were there regulations like the Curfew Code?

Turning back around, Tang Ye looked at the wanderer in front of him and said, "Do you know the Curfew Code?"

No sooner had he spoken than Tang Ye realized he had spoken in Chinese, which the other person couldn’t understand.

"Damn!"

Tang Ye snatched the steel pipe from the man’s hand and drew a time on the ground, 9:10. In this false world, the Curfew Code existed globally, and the curfew started at 9:10, which was the case in almost every area. He could only use this time to convey his message to the wanderer in front of him. Whether or not he would understand was up to him.

Possibly, the people of this world, including those known as Camberlite, would instantly understand the implication of 9:10 on the Curfew Code, right?

However, to Tang Ye’s surprise, after seeing the numbers, the man furrowed his brows and asked Tang Ye with a puzzled tone, "What?"

His facial expression didn’t seem fake; he had no associations with 9:10, looking at Tang Ye, his confusion gradually turned into a blank stare.

"Huh?"

Tang Ye was also stunned. Perhaps Camberlite and Xi River City were different. Xi River City had the Curfew Code, and people had to act according to it, or else they would die. The man’s expression seemed to suggest that there was no Curfew Code here.

Thinking the man hadn’t realized, Tang Ye tapped the steel pipe against the ground, urging him to take a closer look. Perhaps thinking there was some hidden message in these numbers, the wanderer really scrutinized them closely, but after a while, he didn’t find anything noteworthy. Looking at Tang Ye, he asked, "Is this the time?"

Hearing the word "time" in English, Tang Ye quickly nodded.

"Yes yes!"

"9:10?"

"Uh... Yes yes!"

"Oh sorry, I don’t understand what you’re trying to say."

"What?"

"Maybe you can ask me something else... Buddy, someone’s coming, we need to hide!"
