I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World

Chapter 201: Chapter 199 Line_1

Hearing these words, words completely different from what he had imagined, Tang Ye was stunned, looking around in bewilderment, expectantly looking, and eventually confirmed that the woman was talking about him.

The woman took her phone out of her pocket and smashed it heavily onto Tang Ye’s face. His head jerked to the side instinctively, and he once again focused his gaze on the woman hugging the little girl tight.

He saw her, frightened, clutching the little girl and shrinking backwards.

Suddenly, Tang Ye felt like he was completely out of sync with the world, he didn’t know what was happening to him, what was going through his mind, yet... it felt like he wanted to kill.

Seeing that Tang Ye was frozen in shock, the woman’s fear somewhat subsided. She immediately stood up, nudged him aside a bit, and then reached out to pick up the little girl.

But as she bent over, Tang Ye’s eyes flashed menacingly, he acted rashly, his extreme internal turmoil leading him to lose control over himself. He had gone mad... indeed, he had gone insane!

This punch, with an explosive amount of force, landed directly on the woman’s forehead.

Thump!

The woman’s head was spun several times by the tremendous force, twisting into an ugly mess. She collapsed onto the ground with a "plop."

Watching her mother die, the little girl, Lulu, froze for a moment. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing, staring at the woman who had been beaten beyond recognition. She burst out crying. Tang Ye violently jerked his head, crouched down, and tried to suppress the rage in his heart.

"Why are you crying? Is your mom dead? Or... are you scared of me? Huh? Hehehe hahaha... ahahaha..."

"Wuu waa waa, you... you are a villain, you killed my mom, you killed my mom! I want revenge, I want to kill you, you evil man!"

As Lulu cried, wiping her tears, she glared at Tang Ye with resentment, as if she was ready to tear him apart any moment.

"You want to kill me? Hahaha, I’m so happy... you actually want to kill me... You want to kill me? I saved you both, if it weren’t for me, you and this b*tch would be dead already, and you still want to kill me? Hahahaha... it’s hilarious that you want to kill me!"

"You are the murderer who killed my mom! You are a bad person..."

"Shut up, I didn’t kill her, she killed herself. It’s nothing to do with me... it was all her. If it wasn’t for her, she wouldn’t be dead. I saved you both, hahaha!"

Tang Ye laughed uproariously, his laughter filled with insanity. He leaned into Lulu’s face, his terrifying features directly confronting her. Word by word, he said, "It was all her... Do you... understand? I saved you both, but your mother was ungrateful. She even hit me. It’s all her fault, not mine. I was just doing a good deed, but no good deed goes unpunished... hahaha... do you understand?"

Tang Ye’s eyes were fixed on hers. After hearing his hoarse words, she was terrified and nodded subconsciously.

Seeing this, Tang Ye burst into satisfied laughter and said, "You understand, don’t you? That’s good. So now, it’s your turn to die! Hahaha!"

He particularly emphasized the word ’die’. After he finished speaking, he grabbed her throat and twisted. Under her terrified gaze, her neck was twisted in a circle, and she fell to the ground.

He staggered to his feet, looked at this world, this strange and familiar world, and he saw... paradise, somewhat blurry.

He was trying to understand this world. He had saved others, but why had everything turned out this way? Why were people treating him this way?

"Is it because I am a zombie?"

Recalling the scene a few months ago, where he had painstakingly saved people, he found it laughable. He was like a clown, doing ridiculous things.

This was childish, as childish as playing house when he was a child...

From the time of the post-apocalyptic outbreak till now, Tang Ye noticed something about himself was slowly disappearing, but he didn’t know what that was. The only time he could sense it was when he saved people. He realized he was in desperate need of this thing.

"What could it be? Saving people... killing people? Then... that is... humanity!"

Tang Ye’s eyes light up suddenly. He realized why he saved people, it was for humanity!

Because of humanity!

He didn’t save people out of pure altruism, but for something in return, and that something was humanity!

Each time he saved someone, he was yearning for something.

This thing was not tangible but very abstract. He needed an answer, a solid answer!

Gratitude, thankfulness... or even indifference were okay, he needed a response, an emotional response. But this response couldn’t be ingratitude. After saving people, he didn’t need them to look at him with the strange gaze between two different races.

He too was a human, once a real human!

Why do people live? That wasn’t important. The important thing was that humans have something that other species don’t, and this was not wisdom, but a heart!

Because of the heart, humans have emotions! Only because of this, they can build this diversified, colorful society!

Because of the existence of the heart, every person is unique!

Perhaps it was because he had become a zombie, his heart was no longer there. Tang Ye used to be a human, and he had feelings. But after becoming a zombie, the function of the heart gradually faded, until finally, he would no longer have any feelings and become a mechanical shell with human memories.

Once he had controlled himself from eating humans, from doing illegal things, but where is he now? His moral baseline had been continuously crossed, and he had done things he had never dared to imagine before!

Suddenly, he remembered what Old Wang had said to him, those disjointed words, the other eight characters: Five thieves in the heart, and the world is the same!

He remembered a history teacher in high school explaining what the five thieves meant. They represented life, objects, time, achievements, and spirits.

But they also represented the five sensory organs of humans: eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and eyebrows.

Human’s desires are derived from what they hear, smell, and see. Meanwhile, all emotions are born from these senses.

The difference between humans and gods lies in the presence or absence of emotions.

Although he didn’t know which five thieves Old Wang was referring to, Tang Ye vaguely remembered something the history teacher had said: If the five thieves are external and not in the heart, you are human! But if the five thieves are in the heart and not external, you are a god!

He always felt that Old Wang was hinting at something. He didn’t remember every word Old Wang said, but he felt like he was given two paths and the choice of which path to go down was up to him.

What confused him most was, what did the phrase "the world is the same" mean after "five thieves in the heart"?

He could not think about these anymore. Tang Ye looked at the sun, which only had half its body left, in the west, and turned to look at the east.

One side radiated splendid sunset glow, the other was pitch black. In the sky, there seemed to be a line splitting the darkness and the light. Tang Ye felt like he was that line.

He was a zombie but a human at heart. He yearned to fit into human society, but being a zombie wouldn’t allow it.

Most humans wouldn’t tolerate his intention to connect and bond, and becoming one with the zombie race wasn’t an option either. Zombies can’t talk, they are always dazed, communication is out of the question.

This was like the line in the sky, whether it was light or dark, he could not fit in.
