I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 339 - 338

Chapter 339: 338

[The second clearance of Lin City (has not happened, originally happened on the 30th of January, Second Year of Black Rain).]

[Large-scale migration of Huachen Jiangtian (none), occurred on the 4th of March, Second Year of Black Rain (different circumstances), now happening on the 10th of March, Second Year of Black Rain. The survivors did not migrate, a character codenamed: Sinful Angel has appeared, which did not happen in the original timeline.]

[...]

[The first appearance of the Zombie King, codename: White-haired Zombie King (China’s Zombie King) (has not happened), occurred on the 16th of April, Third Year of Black Rain...]

A series of subsequent events, all marked as not having happened yet, gave Su Sigui a headache. She had guessed that by controlling Yan Xing, things would change significantly, but she didn’t expect these many changes.

The butterfly effect truly is terrifying!

She had never heard of this Sinful Angel in her previous life, and he had actually managed to kill three members of the Dragon Group!

These three members were supposed to live for another four to five years in the original timeline, but this mysterious Sinful Angel had killed them all in the second year of the apocalypse!

What will happen next is slowly getting out of her control. With these three people’s death, only Heaven knows what will happen next.

Suddenly, Su Sigui regretted bringing Yan Xing into this. At this point in her previous life, he had already established considerable influence. It’s very likely that he came into contact with the Zombie King, but since she emerged, that didn’t happen.

But what baffled her was: how could her presence have affected the distant survivor base of Huachen Jiangtian, causing so many changes?

There were a bunch of events that had not happened yet. She could only hope that the Zombie King would appear in the same location as in her previous life!

As long as it did, killing it would complete half of what she set out to do.

After viewing for a while, Su Sigui categorized and clipped some filled papers together, and rubbed her tired eyes.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt severe pain, making her entire body shudder, then tremble violently!

"Oh no!"

With a cry of alarm, her face suddenly went pale, her five fingers curled up like chicken claws, and black lines appeared on her joints, spreading towards her arms.

Bang!

Su Sigui’s pain was evident. She collapsed, curled up on the ground, tightly closing her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and her small mouth was unconsciously open, emitting a low growl like a beast.

The two soldiers guarding the door heard the odd noise inside and immediately felt a chill. The mutual fear in their eyes mirrored each other.

Why were they so unlucky?

That was the only thought in their minds. Everyone knew about the occurrences inside. This was a matter of life and death!

The two thought about leaving, but before they could take a step, they saw a young man walk out.

The young man’s face was indifferent, unaffected by the groaning sound inside. His eyes, like those of a cheetah, were fixed on the two guards.

The two guards’ bodies stiffened, and their faces became hard to look at. They didn’t dare to make any other moves.

They wanted to resist, but they were no match for the power of the young man who was so much stronger than they were!

Resisting now meant certain death. Non-resistance still meant death, but it wasn’t certain. Perhaps the person inside wouldn’t be like before?

The two, full of hope yet helpless, could only stand there as if nothing had happened.

Hehe~

The pain and groaning continued, followed by the rustling sound of papers scattering about ten minutes later. The groaning, however, never resumed.

In their anguished wait, the door finally opened, and with it, their hearts sank.

They saw Su Sigui walk out, disheveled. No sooner had she come out than her two arms, full of black lines, reached out towards them.

They hadn’t even had time to react when their throats were grabbed.

"No... Don’t... Mar..."

"No!"

Ah~

A chilling scream rang out, causing all those who heard it to shiver in fear, not daring to take a look. Only the young man watched emotionlessly.

The two were picked up by Su Sigui, who looked almost demon-like. Their bodies quickly shriveled up, drained by a mysterious force, turning into skeletons!

Bang! Bang!

Both bodies were thrown onto the ground, making a dull sound. The black lines on Su Sigui’s arms had disappeared, returning to their previous jade-white appearance.

Having recovered, Su Sigui first looked at her ’masterpiece’, then spoke to the indifferent young man, "Bury them. If they have relatives, give them some food."

"Yes! Marshal!" The young man respectfully replied, efficiently picking up the two withered bodies and vanishing from Su Sigui’s sight.

She looked at the ground, her expression complex. Not too long ago, she had looked hideous, like a demon straight from hell. But she chose this.

Even so, what girl doesn’t love beauty? Everything she did, she did for a future, a future for humans.

To protect this future, she had to get stronger! Be even stronger, until she could decide the direction of human evolution!

This all required power! Enormous power!

This isn’t the apocalypse depicted in novels. In those novels, people were at least able to establish a simple economic system to sustain the development of human society.

They could hunt ordinary zombies and obtain evolution crystals from their brains. But in reality, ordinary zombies didn’t have Evolution Crystals!

Some bases used Evolution Crystals as a form of currency, but where were they going to find enough evolving zombies to create a steady supply?

For ordinary people, obtaining a level 1 Evolution Crystal cost them several lives, let alone high-level zombies!

Evolution Crystals, a form of currency, could only be owned by the evolved. Only they had the ability to kill evolving zombies and obtain Evolution Crystals!

Ordinary people had almost no hope. Yet, there was a faint glimmer, they knew that hunting zombies was a work with disproportionate effort and return!

Evolution Crystals were so rare, they couldn’t establish a complete economic system. Society regressed. Ordinary people in safe places wouldn’t choose to hunt zombies even if there was some hope. Even without hope, they would choose to starve to death!

This is human nature!

Most ordinary people were just waiting to be hired as laborers by the "rich," ready to work themselves ragged for a mere bit of food.

Just to survive, to evolve and become superior human beings!

This is one of the main reasons for the emergence of a slave society amongst humans in the apocalypse.
