Chapter 223: Chapter 221: Abnormal Evolution Crystal (Extra)_1

"You... don’t rush, I know what you want, food, right? I’ve got some! As long... as long as you spare my brother, I’ll give you all of it! I won’t keep a single bite, I beg you! He’s the last of my family!"

Despair welled up in Li Qingtian’s tear-filled eyes. Especially at the mention of "just like this", her heart froze. Right now, she could only hope that Tang Ye was interested in food.

But to her disappointment, Tang Ye shook his head, "Food? I have plenty. What I want is the Evolution Crystal. Look, your brother has one in his brain, hehehe..."

Tang Ye chuckled wickedly, pulling away from Li Qingtian. Seeing her pleading, he grew ever more impatient to kill Li Henian and see her reaction the next second.

The couple didn’t seem to be the good sort. Killing them wouldn’t bring a sense of guilt to Tang Ye. Besides, he thought it would be okay to torment them a bit before their death as they were already set to die. Why not satisfy his twisted desire?

It was the end of the world after all, he didn’t have to worry about the law.

So he could do whatever he pleased. Although he was somewhat bound by a certain promise, he needed to hold back. This annoyed Tang Ye, but there was no other way.

Perhaps, learning to suppress one’s desires is for the better. After all, he didn’t want to end up like a zombie overwhelmed by desires. However, this suppression depends on the situation.

"You caused trouble and expect me to let you off? What are you thinking? Hehe."

Li Qingtian spat out a mouthful of blood, unable to recover from Tang Ye’s attack. She couldn’t handle his assault. The force from being flung to the ground nearly ruptured her internal organs.

She glanced at Li Henian, who had only one leg left. He twitched, trying to stand up. Although a Level 3 zombie can recover at a rapid rate, he wasn’t anywhere near a full recovery. Moreover, would this freak wait for her brother to recover completely?

Obviously not. Even if he waited for Li Henian’s full recovery, he couldn’t handle the masked freak.

"This has nothing to do with my brother. I ordered him to kill. You can do whatever you want with me, but please spare him," she pleaded.

As Tang Ye’s arm-blade plunged into Li Henian’s bloody chest, he glanced at her—head to toe—as if something had occurred to him. His smile grew more sinister.

Another person was here, wasn’t it?

"Hehe, it’s impossible to spare your brother. He’s an intelligent zombie. He must die!"

Li Qingtian was taken aback upon hearing this. Clutching her stomach, she struggled to her feet and said, somewhat dazedly, "Huh? An intelligent zombie? Henian is not an intelligent zombie! He... he just listens to me, that’s all. All this was commanded by me."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ye’s face fell. Did he get things wrong? But why would a zombie obey a human? Could he be a zombie controller?

He heard the term ’zombie controller’ when he was at the Yindan Base. But he dismissed it as a fairy tale.

As a zombie himself, Tang Ye was familiar with their nature. Zombie controllers are humans who had deep attachments to someone before they transformed. After becoming a zombie, they would hold a pledged loyalty to that person and follow their commands. But for those thoughtless creatures, how could they possibly be commanded by humans?

"How are you related to it?" Tang Ye asked, tilting his head, with the arm-blade he just ripped out from Li Henian still in his hand.

"He’s my brother..."

Li Qingtian watched nervously as Tang Ye held his arm-blade, fearing it would pierce Li Henian’s skull. Her body was immobilized. Her only hope was to persuade Tang Ye.

But Tang Ye’s face was an image of discomfort. The real reason he wanted to kill Li Henian was his fear of dealing with an intelligent zombie. Causing him trouble was secondary. Now, it seemed he had wronged others, which was somewhat embarrassing.

However, he still had an excuse for killing Li Henian. He would never admit his mistake, especially when it came to compensation. That’s something Tang Ye would never do.

If he did something, he isn’t concerned about right or wrong anymore. He’ll justify it later!

He didn’t like it when he went from righteous defiance to being in the wrong the next second.

Watching Li Qingtian who kept her eyes on his hand, he lifted the arm-blade. Before she could react, he violently plunged it into Li Henian’s head.

Thud!

A large gash was opened on that massive head, allowing black-red blood to gush out. Li Qingtian didn’t react for a while. Tang Ye didn’t look at her. He reached in and pulled out an evolution crystal, along with some rotting flesh. Li Henian’s body stopped twitching, revealing signs of death.

He wiped the surface of the evolution crystal, scraping off the rotten flesh.

Thinking that it was just sticky, Tang Ye shook the orange evolution crystal a bit, but the lump of flesh still dangled there.

He furrowed his brows and, ignoring the disgust, he examined the flesh connected to the evolution crystal.

It’s a rare sight. Tang Ye had killed Level 3 zombies in Lin city before, but he had never seen an evolution crystal with fresh-looking flesh attached to it.

Without much thought, he violently ripped the flesh from the crystal.

After the flesh was torn off, the Level 3 evolution crystal returned to its normal state, except for a few red dots where the flesh used to be attached.

Slightly satisfied, he pocketed the evolution crystal and turned his attention to Li Qingtian. He still needed to keep her for a few things. Once he was done, he could let her go. Of course, if she clung onto him, he might as well give her to those long-starved "friends."

The moment Tang Ye extracted the evolution crystal from Li Henian’s brain, Li Qingtian’s eyes lost their focus. She blankly stared at Li Henian’s lifeless body. She didn’t cry, make a fuss, or let out a heart-wrenching scream. Expressionless, she didn’t react until Tang Ye pocketed the evolution crystal.

Thank you to book friend い弑神う for your recommendation. I’m not feeling too well recently, so please forgive me.
