I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1562 - 1556: Becoming More and More Human

Chapter 1562: Chapter 1556: Becoming More and More Human

Quickly, after Ah Fu used brute force to break the last obstacle, Tang Ye crawled out from the hole. He dusted off his clothes, looked behind Ah Fu and the others, and saw what should be Xi River city outside. Strangely, he didn’t see the urban district of Xi River city; instead, he saw a towering cliff wall!

His position seemed to be at the bottom of a cliff?

"What happened outside?" asked Tang Ye.

Ah Fu quickly replied, recounting to Tang Ye the sudden appearance of the sinkhole.

"... Boss, what did you do down there? The commotion was so big?"

When Tang Ye heard that the sinkhole almost covered the entire Xi River city, he was slightly stunned. Such a large sinkhole suddenly appearing and causing such a commotion was something he couldn’t possibly have been unaware of. It must have happened before he awoke. Tang Ye also told Ah Fu and the others about his experience. Understanding part of the Lan Ou Corpse King’s abilities left them at a loss. This ability to draw people into an illusion and slowly siphon their vitality was a bit disgusting. For now, they couldn’t think of a good way to deal with it.

The first time he got lucky because of some mistakes by Dairya and escaped. That was mostly due to luck. Would he be lucky again the second time?

No one is that legendary child of fortune; no one dare to risk their life to verify the truth unless they are either a great person or just stupid!

Soon, Tang Ye walked out and stood in the center of the pit’s bottom, looking up around him. The pit was indeed vast, with some distant areas already obscured by mist or clouds; he wasn’t sure which.

At this time, Tang Ye noticed the kid Abeng nudging Ah Fu’s knee, seemingly reminding him of something. Ah Fu looked down in confusion at Abeng, who was much shorter than him, tilting his head with a puzzled expression.

Abeng nudged Ah Fu again and quickly gestured with his mouth, looking quite anxious.

Ah Fu quickly caught on to this, nodded, approached Tang Ye, and asked cautiously, "Boss... umm..."

"What’s the matter, speak up."

"Alright, when are we returning to the Royal Court?"

"Oh?"

Tang Ye gave Ah Fu an unexpected look and asked, "Can’t wait anymore?"

After saying this, he looked at the others, including Ha Zhen, Gert, Li Man, Jiema, and others, who were all watching him with expectant eyes.

With just a glance, Tang Ye quickly turned his attention back to Ah Fu and asked, "What’s been happening lately?"

"Uh..."

Ah Fu hesitated for a while before saying, "Nothing much... just stayed in this place for a long time and got a bit bored..."

From his expression, it was clearly not the truth. Tang Ye continued asking, "Just boredom?"

"Uh... and also a bit... ah! It’s just that there isn’t the freedom of the Royal Court here."

"I see."

Tang Ye nodded and didn’t press further. He had already guessed the reason. Ah Fu and the others were zombies. Their emotions couldn’t fully integrate into this entirely human city. He understood that this group of people would feel bored. Furthermore, most of the people in the Cloud Gorge Base were Li Henian’s subordinates, who were predominantly zombies. This awareness made it impossible for people to accept Ah Fu and the others’ existence, so how could they have any emotional connection?

"Is everything packed?"

"Halfway done..."

"Finish packing quickly. There’s no point in staying here; we’ll depart the day after tomorrow!"

"Okay!"

Hearing Tang Ye’s words, the zombies immediately beamed with joy, indicating that they felt quite oppressed at the Cloud Gorge Base.

After their joy, Ha Zhen talked to Tang Ye about recent events. However, these weren’t events that happened to them but rather the large-scale invasion by the Demon Sound Zombie Group in Western China. Up until now, nearly three provinces on the Chinese Continent were entirely occupied by the zombie tide. Their invasion was swift, and there were many high-level zombies at Level 8. No human survivor base had a record of successfully defending against the zombie tide from the start.

Without Tang Ye’s commands, the high-level zombies in the Royal Court dared not make decisions lightly. In their eyes, there was no need to clash with the next generation of the Lan Ou’s Zombie Group. Unlike the zombies from other continents, the Royal Court had a very refined ecosystem that suited both humans and zombies, allowing the harmonious coexistence of two different civilizations. The vast livestock farms and the "Utopia" within the Mother Nest were sufficient to ensure zombies like Ah Fu didn’t worry about their own survival, making humans outside irrelevant to them.

Their kind entered the Chinese Continent to prey for survival; such actions might not be stopped or welcomed by Ah Fu and his group. They lived their own lives. Of course, they could welcome the Demon Sound Zombie Group from Lan Ou into the Chinese Continent to feast or reveal their claws to launch a fierce attack. The decision would be made by the Corpse King.

Similarly, whether the Demon Sound Zombie Group perished on the homeland from starvation or invaded the Chinese territory that didn’t belong to them for foraging was also a decision resting with their Corpse King.

A decision would be made at some point in time, and now Ah Fu and his group were waiting for Tang Ye’s decision.

Tang Ye was silent for a while; no one knew what he was thinking. After about two minutes, he said something inexplicable: "It’s getting more and more like a human."

"Huh?"

Ah Fu and the others were puzzled, but Tang Ye didn’t explain. He might have just realized he was a contradiction—a search for an evenly matched opponent on one hand, while finding it a nuisance on the other, like a human’s varying mindset over different time periods.

"Let’s set this aside for now. We’ll talk later."

Tang Ye said this to Ah Fu and the others, who nodded silently before heading out of the pit.

As they were preparing to climb up, Tang Ye turned back to look at Su Sigui on the observation tower in the distance. Their gazes locked briefly for a few seconds, with neither reacting.

She watched Tang Ye and his group leaving the pit. Their figures blurred under the distant blue sky as if she were in a daze, lost in the direction Tang Ye and the others vanished, until someone approached from behind.

"Mayor, we are ready. Shall we go down now?"

"No need, nothing will happen here. Fill up this pit as much as possible, sprinkle a layer of ’herbicide’, and next year the trees will stand together."
