Chapter 1563: Chapter 1557: The Only Fantasy

"Okay."

The visitor bowed respectfully to Su Sigui, ready to leave, but was suddenly stopped.

"Wait a moment."

Hearing her voice, the visitor immediately halted. Su Sigui reached into her pocket, rummaged for a moment, and quickly retrieved a small object to hand over.

"This is..."

"Within two minutes, deliver this to Nangong Yang. He knows what to do. Tell him to act quickly."

"Understood."

After carefully taking the object from Su Sigui’s hand, the visitor retreated cautiously. Su Sigui didn’t linger there long either, shortly leaving and returning to the Cloud Gorge Base.

Meanwhile, Tang Ye’s group, outside the sinkhole, had already been awaited by someone in a flying craft. Greeted by the group, Tang Ye boarded the craft. As it started, it took little time to return to the Cloud Gorge Base. Upon landing, Tang Ye glanced at the ground below. On the runway, there were many people. The craft, as large as two trucks combined, made it impossible to avoid attention. The crowd below quickly turned their gazes toward it. However, upon observing the craft’s detailed features, the people reacted as if they’d seen the plague itself—scrambling away hastily. Some even left their belongings behind.

This scene unfolded before Tang Ye’s eyes. He saw everything, of course, and so did the others. Sitting behind, he remembered Gert’s venomous tone.

"One day, we’ll throw all these bastards into the mother hive!"

Those around him heard these words but didn’t respond, only smiling silently. Tang Ye also said nothing. Truthfully, they could be considered humanity’s heroes; it was just that their efforts went unnoticed. Only they themselves understood what they had done. They didn’t have the mindset of great leaders who would act selflessly without seeking recognition—such altruism was unrealistic.

Of course, their desired "recognition" wasn’t material reward. At the very least, they wanted to see less fear in humanity’s eyes. So, what was the deal with the current situation? How could the inherently violent Zombies tolerate this?

Once Tang Ye and the others exited the flying craft, the vast runway appeared lifeless. Without encountering any resistance, they walked straight out. People on the streets avoided them, their eyes filled with fear of the Zombies. The expressions on people’s faces made Ah Fu and the others visibly impatient. Occasionally, one or two would wave or extend their tendrils to scare the civilians, resulting in a hundred-meter-radius free of anyone daring to approach.

Perhaps this was the reason Ah Fu and his group couldn’t feel at ease staying in Cloud Gorge Base.

Tang Ye thought to himself. However, this situation wouldn’t last for long. Soon, they would leave, and Tang Ye’s hesitation also began to diminish. Not long after, they arrived at the center of the city below the Cloud Gorge Base. There stood the Cloud Elevator connecting to the "Sky Continent." As they prepared to ascend, Tang Ye noticed the broadcasting building not far away. For humanity, this was currently a very special time. A societal hierarchy gap had already appeared in human society, and those in the upper echelons were never stingy with information they held. Things were already bad enough; greater fear wouldn’t make much difference.

In fact, letting people know some information earlier helped them prepare mentally. Thus, many locations across Cloud Gorge Base were equipped with broadcasting towers featuring screens to inform people of crises occurring in various areas. This helped them psychologically brace themselves. After all, at some point in the future, Cloud Gorge Base would face similar disasters.

On the screen of the broadcasting building near Tang Ye at that moment, some reports were being aired. However, these reports were clearly anything but good news.

"Go ahead and ascend first. Someone is waiting for me," Tang Ye told Ah Fu and the others.

"Alright."

Ah Fu and his subordinates didn’t ask who it was. They nodded and entered the Cloud Elevator first.

After they left, Tang Ye walked to the broadcasting building’s plaza. At this moment, the place was crowded with quite a few people, though most were homeless. They didn’t have mobile phones. Even if they did, the mobile phones from before the Apocalypse couldn’t connect to the networks of the post-apocalyptic era. The only way for them to learn about the outside world’s events was through these broadcasting towers scattered around Cloud Gorge Base.

[Starting from the 27th of this month, multiple survivor bases and Sanctuary Cities have entered full alert status. According to multiple observations, the Demon Sound Zombie Group from Lan Ou Continent is expected to enter the Danger Sanctuary City’s managed region within a week. Based on feedback from several Level 8 New Humans, the Danger Sanctuary City’s current technological and military strength makes successfully resisting an over-a-million-strong Zombie tide highly unlikely.]

[On the 28th of this month, multiple media reporters attempted to interview the mayor of the Danger Sanctuary City but were rejected. Yang Xiangfeng’s attitude remains uncertain as of now.]

[On the 28th, news arrived from Gaojiang City Tiger Forest Shelter reporting that, in recent times, numerous passenger planes from the old era have been crashing in the eastern region of the Chinese Continent. After investigations by military forces from various bases, no pilots or bodies have been found on board.]

[On the 22nd of this month, residual satellite observations detected a large-scale golden storm—a signature of Kamutos—along the eastern shoreline of the South American Continent. The storm extended 200 kilometers to nearby small islands. According to predictions from various experts, Kamutos is attempting to cross the Atlantic Ocean. If left unchecked, Kamutos is expected to land in the western coastal areas of Galinut, entering the Abyssal Zombie King’s domain. Could a future conflict between the two Zombie Kings lie ahead?]

The broadcaster joked about this scenario, but no one in the plaza laughed. The humor fell flat; if Zombie Kings were to clash, humanity would undoubtedly be the most delighted.

After all, watching others fight from the sidelines is a favorite pastime of every strategist.

But this scenario seemed far-fetched. People here had lived long enough to realize that, for Zombies, the Chinese Continent was like a delicious cake—a tempting prize. The truly terrifying thing was that one Zombie King had already made its move to seize this cake. This implied that other Zombie Kings would follow suit. The southern Zombie King’s maneuver to cross the Atlantic likely meant its target was also the Chinese Continent. Clearly, it could tolerate starvation no longer!

The only thing people could hope for was that the Abyssal Zombie King on the Flame Sands Continent would have some territorial sense and clash with Kamutos. After all, humanity already had no solution to the Nightmare Zombie King. If one more appeared, humans might as well surrender. But the aftermath of surrender wouldn’t resemble what had occurred among other continents’ populations. Humans would be reduced to livestock like chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep. In the Apocalypse, no one was naïve—they could all predict this outcome!

Perhaps that damned broadcaster grasped what people were thinking. The next piece of news provoked an instant eruption among the plaza’s crowd!
