I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World

Chapter 306: Chapter 305: The Sorrow of the Weak - 1

"There are other survivors around us. We usually don’t conflict with them and mainly keep our distance. We may be low on ammunition, but we can always steal theirs! They have a good amount of stuff, and remember, you drove the zombies away recently, they definitely benefited from that. Now it’s time for them to pay back!"

Done with his say, Xu Changchi looked at Tang Ye’s back, visibly excited, and added, "Plus, all we have to do after robbing them is to kill their leader. Then we can pull their faction to our side and increase our number."

A glint appeared in Tang Ye’s eye upon hearing this. He was wondering how to expand their territory, and here, someone had offered him the perfect solution!

Prior to this, his intention of moving here was simply to change the current state of affairs. He hadn’t planned on developing it further, rather just going with the flow, acting on whims and minor goals.

He wasn’t particularly skilled in this field, nor did he have a clue how to expand a faction; afterall, he was no strategist.

But Xu Changchi’s suggestion of increasing numbers sparked an idea in him.

The key to developing a faction is the sheer power of number. Under Tang Ye’s rule, the population had been drastically decreasing - a problem that left him flustered and without a solution.

But now, he has found a remedy. In this post-apocalyptic world, lives aren’t valued anymore. Whether those people lived or died was not his concern. He was just doing all this to fulfill a certain purpose.

He wasn’t the type to be tied down by insignificant details. His answer was invasion – to raid other Survivor Groups, steal their numbers and replenish his own!

People could die, but numbers shouldn’t decrease!

As cruel as it may sound, this era could not be measured by the standards of the time before the Apocalypse.

In his previous life, Tang Ye sat at the bottom of the social totem pole. He had no family, no drive, just a low-profile life vaporized under the strain of broken promises and betrayal!

He never dreamed of getting married or having children, he merely wanted to survive. Now, at the end of the world, he may not be an ambitious hero with a tragic past but he acted purely by his intuition.

The post-apocalyptic world was brutal. If you didn’t invade others, they would invade you. The corruption of human nature and the threat of life would always be reminders.

In this era, Tang Ye was a powerhouse. Just like everyone else, he too was selfish. Even though he had turned into a zombie, he was once human.

When given the choice, he didn’t hesitate to invade others, even if it meant harming their lives – all to satisfy his own needs.

As for sanctity, someone else could take on that role.

"Do you know where their group’s located?" Tang Ye asked.

"I’m not sure, but we can look for them. Shouldn’t be too far from here. Old Hu and I encountered them not too long ago."

"Do they have firearms?"

"Yes, and quite a lot of them. We’ve seen them three times; each time they had guns. But we never really had a conflict since they always stayed afar."

"We don’t have much ammo left, are we confident about winning?"

"Admittedly, we are short on ammunition. However, when pooled together, it should be enough. Plus, their numbers don’t look too high, maybe no more than three hundred. Besides, Boss, if they were more, they would’ve gotten a head start on us."

Considering Xu Changchi’s words, Tang Ye agreed, "Alright, tomorrow I’ll drive the zombies three miles away. Gather all the ammunition and find out where that Survivor Group is."

"Yes, sir!"

Excitedly, Xu Changchi was about to leave when Tang Ye asked, "By the way, how’s the collection of resources outside?"

Xu Changchi paused for a moment before replying, "I can’t be sure to what extent, but we’ve gathered all the available food and living supplies within two kilometers. The storage room is well-stocked, enough for everyone here to survive for three months."

"Good, besides assigning personnel to locate the Survivor Group, deploy all others who are capable. Anything that is edible or useful, bring it all back! Cherish this time, I won’t provide you with much peace."

"Yes, sir!"

Xu Changchi responded promptly and left. Tang Ye, ignoring his departure, continued observing the scene below where something rather interesting was happening.

"Hey, why are you crouching here like an idiot?"

"Ha ha ha!"

In a corner, three men were loudly mocking a small, unkempt figure shrunken into a ball, looking neither male nor female.

Their laughter was loud enough to attract attention. Passersby noticed but didn’t intervene, too busy with their own affairs.

This wasn’t something new. Despite Tang Ye’s rule against unjustified killing, there was no regulation against preying on the weak!

Apparently, the one being targeted now was one such weakling!

The victimized individual stayed silent, only curling up tighter while the trio continued to jeer and provoke.

"Could it be... a mute?"

"Who knows? Either an idiot or a mute. It’s been quite some time since they got here, always skulking around. How could the boss miss this?"

"Perhaps he has been overlooked for not gathering resources, shall we report to the boss?"

"Definitely. Back then, that rat Li Hu was protecting him. Now that Li Hu is dead, let’s see what he does."

"Exactly! He used to act all high and mighty when Li Hu was around. Didn’t bother responding to anyone. Now, without his protection, let’s see how he fares."

The men continued their mockery, not even phased by the silent individual. Their rising fury only made the situation more tense.

Perhaps they have been oppressed before, and now with their oppressor gone, they’re taking out their pent-up frustrations on the powerless individual that once enjoyed protections.

This was the sad fate of the weak, unable to avenge their oppressors, they strike at the few they can. And yet, the strong who once offered protection could not always be there.
