I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 301 - 300 Innocence_1

Chapter 301: Chapter 300 Innocence_1

As Xu Haishui spoke these words, his eyes sparkled with the same greed as Tang Ye. Having just spent a long time diving around with Ah Fu, although he did not see the pseudo-dragon that Tang Ye mentioned, he was especially excited about Tang Ye’s statement about evolving to Level 5 after consuming just a bit of it.

Tang Ye’s eyes flickered as he muttered to himself, "It hasn’t returned to its lair yet, where could it have gone?"

For Tang Ye, the pseudo-dragon was a prize he was loathed to give up. It was a pure treasure trove!

As Xu Haishui had mentioned earlier, to Tang Ye, this pseudo-dragon was a fortune of five million. And Tang Ye was a poor man who was desperately in need of money!

Moreover, to get this five million was almost effortless. All he had to do was pierce his tentacles into it and consume it directly. Who knows, he might even evolve into a Level 6 zombie!

Upon hearing Xu Haishui’s words, a look of disappointment crossed Tang Ye’s face, but he didn’t pay much attention to it. Zhiyang Lake was vast, but it was limited. Where could it run?

If he couldn’t find it today, Tang Ye could come to find it tomorrow. If he didn’t find it tomorrow, then the day after. He refused to believe he wouldn’t find it after combing the entirety of Zhiyang Lake.

"Go find a large vehicle, as big as possible, and fill it with zombies headed for the gathering place."

"Yes." Xu Haishui responded immediately, casting a final glance at the shimmering waters of Zhiyang Lake before leaving.

Tang Ye stayed silent, and Ah Fu, standing quietly behind him, although not knowing what Tang Ye was looking at, imitated him earnestly.

In the gathering place, people formed a circle, and Tang Ye paced back and forth on the central platform until a large truck drove in, prompting him to stop.

The survivors, in layers inside and out, gazed curiously at the big truck. When a man, cloaked and masked just like Tang Ye, climbed out, the discomfort was palpable.

This "person" radiated an eerie feel. While his outer appearance betrayed nothing, his vibe was undeniably chilling.

He was dressed similarly to Tang Ye, the only difference being their heights. However, the two gave off distinct impressions. Tang Ye gave off a brutal vibe, as if he could kill at any moment. In contrast, the man who emerged from the truck seemed gloomy, like a venomous snake.

After Xu Haishui got out and glanced at the people circled around, he subconsciously licked his lips beneath the mask. God knows what he was thinking.

"What’s inside the truck?" A survivor couldn’t resist asking out of curiosity.

The truck was covered by a piece of cloth, and movements could be occasionally heard from within, leading survivors to fantasize that the truck contained livestock brought from somewhere else.

With this thought, they grew excited. If the truck was full of livestock, life in the coming days would be easier!

Although they speculated there was livestock in the truck, they still wanted to confirm it before seeing what was inside.

Xu Haishui didn’t respond, just stood silently at the entrance of the truck, his posture strange.

He was hunched over, his body appearing slightly thin, his hands dangling unconsciously. His eyes were full of eeriness under his mask, sweeping across everyone present. Those caught under his eye would tremble involuntarily, their skin erupting in goosebumps.

After surveying everyone, Xu Haishui’s gaze locked on to Tang Ye, his expression was crystal clear to Tang Ye.

After receiving a nod from Tang Ye, Xu Haishui finally made a move. He walked to the back of the truck and pulled open the cloth covering.

When the people saw what was inside the truck, they held their breath, and the air seemed to solidify in an instant.

After a few seconds of silence, the crowd started buzzing.

"This... These are zombies, why would they bring zombies in? What is the boss trying to do?"

"Zombies!!"

"Who is he? Why did he bring the zombies in? Why isn’t the boss stopping him?" Someone stared at Xu Haishui, their face filled with horror.

"What is he going to do?"

"..."

People’s voices rang out in discussion, until a gunshot sounded, and everyone’s attention turned to Ruan Chao’en, who was holding a gun.

"Everyone shut the hell up! Anyone who keeps on blabbering, I’ll shoot them! Now the boss will speak."

Ruan Chao’en spoke with an intimidating face, and everyone’s voices fell silent, seemingly giving him face. Only those present knew that Ruan Chao’en was the least respected person among them.

He was Tang Ye’s bootlicker, doing everything last, although they ridiculed him, they didn’t dare contend with Tang Ye.

Seeing that he has suppressed the situation, Ruan Chao’en felt very pleased. He turned around and gave Tang Ye a flattering smile, then stepped aside.

His bootlicking ways pleased Tang Ye, and the look he gave him contained some admiration. He thought about giving him some benefits in the future.

Then looking at Zhou Ranjun, Tang Ye’s gaze became one of disappointment. He found this man rather uncooperative. Ever since he offered him a Level 2 Evolution Crystal Core that night, the man’s first reaction had given rise to murderous intent in Tang Ye.

For Tang Ye, people like Ruan Chao’en who can flatter and get things done were the most to his liking. Those who pretended to be high-minded were just off-putting!

Tang Ye walked forward in front of everyone, looked around, a cruel smile appeared on his face. Today, some people were bound to die!

The reason why he became the boss here was simply to suppress his sense of guilt and to develop this place more. But that didn’t mean he was a nanny specifically responsible for the safety of these weaklings!

He would rather make the people here stronger, no longer fear the zombies outside, and even one day trade with these zombies and coexist peacefully. But now, Tang Ye found.

The woman’s wishes seemed naive. If he became strong, he could at most keep the zombies away from people, but peaceful coexistence was impossible. The initiative lay not in Tang Ye’s hands, but in everyone’s hands!

Humans are selfish. In this world, this race would never allow another race to share resources with them.

Of course, in a certain sense, the initiative also lies in the hands of zombies. If zombies exterminate humans to the point of being endangered, the remaining humans would realize that zombies are a stronger species.

Only when faced with a stronger species would humans compromise and choose to leave each other alone. But this is useless, once humans develop to some extent, they would still vie for dominance with that stronger species!

This was an impossible task, but he had no choice. If anything, it was probably Tang Ye who was too naive, assenting to the girl’s naive idea.
